Plate XV.
John Frizell (Frizzell), the donor, is described as a Scotchman. He married July 2 2,
1698, Dorothy (Fowles), widow of Francis Parnell, who afterwards married, as
her third husband, Nathaniel Saltonstall. She was the donor of a tankard and
a flagon to this church, which are described on pages 37 and 39. John Frizzell
was a member of the building committee of the New Brick church (Second church)
December 12, 17 2 0. He died in 17 2 3, and his will, dated January 2 0, 17 19,
was proved May 6, 7 7 3. In it he leaves fifty pounds to the "North Church
in Boston," and mentions his wife, Dorothy; his son-in-law, Francis Parnell;
his brother, Daniel Frizzell of London, a mariner, who was left £50 per
annum; his nephew, John Frizzell of Boston, son of the said Daniel; and his
kinsman, George Read of Boston, a mariner. A silver tankard which he gave
to this church in 1709 has disappeared; and another, presented by him to the
New North church in 17 18, was sold by that church and is now in the possession
of Mr Louis Cabot.
The third flagon is similar to the second, but has no mask on the handle; the
thumb-piece is like that on the first. It is inscribed in a large foliated panel:
This Flagon is the Gift of Mrs I Dory Frizell to the I Second
Church of I Christ in Boston I Decmr. I 733
Height, 12-2 in.; diameter of the mouth, 41 in., and of the base, 68 in.

Plate XVI.
Dorothy Frizell, the donor, as will be observed in the inscription, has retained the
surname of her second husband, though then married to her third husband,
39

The second flagon is similar; the cover is
domed and the thumb-piece is scrolled; on
the end of the handle is a grotesque mask,
exactly like that on the " Dorothy Frizell "
tankard. It is inscribed in a panel with a
cherub above:

scription.
