Marriage Notes (John Wendell Mellen)
Woodlawn Museum, Spring 2004
Two Portraits:
John Wendell Mellen & Eleanor Bradish Wilde Mellen
by Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr.
Visitors who ascend Woodlawn's graceful circular staircase do so under the watchful eyes of several portraits which include George Washington and Henry Knox. Near the top of the stairs hangs a pair of paintings of an engaging early nineteenth century couple, a handsome young man in one and a fashionably dressed young woman and child in the other. Unlike Washington or Knox, John Wendell Mellen, Eleanor Bradish Wilde Mellen, and their son John Wendell Mellen, Jr., are not readily identifiable historical figures. Yet their story deserves our attention, for this young family was well-placed in the New England society of their day.
John Wendell Mellen was born in Barnstable, Massachusetts, on September 11, 1794, while his father, the Reverend John Mellen, was serving as the minister of the First Parish of Barnstable. John was the third of the four children of Reverend Mellen and his wife Martha Fitch Wendell Mellen.
When John Wendell Mellen was six years old, his father left his ministry in Barnstable to relocate the family in Cambridge because of his wife's health. The Mellens settled into a house on Kirkland Street, and Reverend Mellen pursued a varied career of religious, political, and military activities until the loss of his eyesight. Living in Cambridge gave John Wendell Mellen the opportunity to prepare for and attend Harvard College, where he graduated at the age of nineteen in 1814. To his B.A. degree he added an M.A. from Harvard in 1817. He was the third generation of John Mellens to receive a Harvard degree. His father was in the Class of 1770 and his grandfather the Class of 1741.
Instead of following his father and grandfather into the ministry, John Wendell Mellen became a lawyer. In October, 1817, he established his practice in North Yarmouth, Maine. The next year on August 8, 1818, he married Eleanor Bradish Wilde, the daughter of Samuel Sumner Wilde, a justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, and Eunice Cobb Wilde. The Mellens moved to Dover, New Hampshire, in December, 1823, where John's brother-in-law John Williams was the superintendent of a textile factory. While on a trip to New York, John Wendell Mellen died suddenly on July 22, 1829, at the age of 34.
His widow, Eleanor Bradish Wilde Mellen, was left with a daughter and two sons, the youngest of whom, John Wendell Mellen, Jr., appears in the portrait with his mother at the age of three. Considering the comfortable circumstances of both her in-laws and her parents, it would be safe to assume that Eleanor and her family were well provided for after the death of her husband. She was the daughter of the prominent lawyer and judge Samuel Sumner Wilde and Eunice Cobb, whose father was General David Cobb, a Revolutionary War soldier, physician, politician, judge, and land developer in Eastern Maine. Eunice Cobb's sister Mary married John Black, who worked with General Cobb on the management and sale of lands in Hancock and Washington Counties. This connection probably explains why the Mellen portraits are at Woodlawn. Eleanor Bradish Wilde Mellen was born on August 4, 1798, in Warren, Maine, while her father was practicing law there. She outlived her husband by eight and a half years, dying in Andover, Massachusetts, on March 7, 1838, at the age of 39.
The two Mellen portraits at Woodlawn are signed by Joseph Greenleaf Cole, and the one of Eleanor Mellen and her son is dated 1828. Given the death of John Wendell Mellen in 1829, one could assume that his picture was painted at the same time as his wife and child's. This is collaborated by a Cole portrait, signed and dated 1828, which was sold at auction in 1995. The pose of the male sitter was identical to Mellen's, looking directly forward with his arm resting on a table.
Born in Newburyport, Massachusetts in 1806, Joseph Greenleaf Cole was a prolific portrait painter from his teens until his death in 1858. His father Moses Dupré Cole and his brothers Lyman Emerson Cole and Charles Octavius Cole were also active portrait painters who worked in Massachusetts and Maine. While Joseph used Boston as his base during much of his career, he is known to have painted in Portland in 1825, 1826, and 1832 as well as in Brunswick in 1826. With their close ties to Cambridge, it is likely that
the Mellens sat for Cole in Boston. There the images of a young family, soon to be severed by the death of a husband and father, were captured by the brush of a talented artist. The results of his efforts now hang at Woodlawn, a poignant reminder of the brevity of life for many in early nineteenth century New England.

Notes
General:
The American Wilders trace their family back to Nicholas Wilder, a military chieftain in the army of the Earl of Richmond, who fought and won the battle of Bosworth in 1485. Thomas Wilder came from England, in company with his brother Edward, and his widowed mother, Martha Wilder, and settled in Lancaster, Massachusetts, about 1638. Thomas Wilder died in 1667. His lineal descendants rendered meritorious services to the country in the Indian wars, in the Revolution, and in Shay's rebellion. Nathaniel Wilder, his son, was killed by Indians at Lancaster in July, 1704. Ephraim Wilder, son of Nathaniel, was wounded in a fight with the Indians at Lancaster
in 1707, and died in the same town in 1769. Captain Ephraim Wilder, grandson of Nathaniel, was one of the delegates to the State Convention of Massachusetts, held in 1788, and voted in favor of adopting the Constitution of the United States. He was the father of Samuel Locke Wilder, and grandfather of Marshall Pinckney Wilder, who is thus of the eighth American generation, reckoning the first maternal immigrant ancestor as the first. Marshall Pinckney Wilder was born at Rindge, New Hampshire; September 22, 1798. He was sent to school at the early age of four years. At twelve he entered the New Ipswich Academy. At sixteen he was requested to choose preparation for agricultural, mercantile, or collegiate life. In his choice to be a farmer, he is indebted in no small degree for the mental and physical energy so remarkably characteristic of his long and beneficent career. His father's business increased so much, however, that Marshall was taken into the store, and soon acquired such habits of industry and mastery of detail, that he was admitted to partnership as soon as he had attained his majority. He removed to Boston in 1825, began business in Union Street, under the firm of Wilder & Payson, pursued the same business under the firm of Wilder & Smith, in North Market Street, and next in his own name at No. 3, Central Wharf. In 1837 he became a partner in the commission house of Parker, Blanchard & Wilder, Water Street, and afterward in that of Parker, Wilder & Co.,Winthrop Square. They were burned out in the Boston conflagration of November
9, 1872, but soon afterward resumed business. Through all the checkered fortunes of mercantile life, and in all the commercial crises of the past half-century, Marshall P. Wilder has never failed to meet his pecuniary obligations. But trade and wealth were not the all-engrossing pursuits of his mind; he devoted all his leisure hours to horticultural and agricultural pursuits; gardens, greenhouses, and fruit trees have all been sources of purest pleasure. He has cultivated his own grounds, imported seeds, plants, and trees, and by personal example striven to stimulate agriculture, and to raise the rank of husbandmen in the social scale. Massachusetts today owes much of her wealth, comfort, and innocent gratifications to his example and instructions. In 1840, Mr. Wilder was chosen President of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. The corner stone of their elegant hall, in School Street, was laid September 14,1844, in presence of a large assemblage, and in his address on that occasion, said: " Be it remembered that to this society the community are indebted for the foundation and consecration of Mount Auburn Cemetery." At the convention of fruit-growers, which was held in New York, October 10, 1848, a national society was organized, which now bears the name of the American Pomological Society, Mr. Wilder was chosen its first President, and still (1880) retains the office. He assisted in the organization of the Norfolk Agricultural Society, in February, 1849, when he was chosen President and the Hon. Charles Francis Adams, Vice-President, the State Board of Agriculture, the Massachusetts Agricultural College, and the United States Agricultural Society, of which he was President. In January, 1S08, Mr. Wilder was solicited to take the office of President of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, made vacant by the death of that illustrious statesman, Governor John A. Andrew. He consented, was unanimously elected, and still holds the position. In 1869 he made a tour in the south, for the purpose of examining its resources; and in 1870 visited California. The results of his observations have been given to the public in lectures before the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture, the Boston Mercantile Library Association, Amherst College, Dartmouth College, the merchants of Philadelphia, and in other places. As a zealous patron and promoter of the noblest of all material sciences, His name must ever shine brilliantly in the pages which record the history of human progress and improvement. His work will have its interpreter on every hillside and in every valley where rural taste and refinement are found. He still retains many official positions.
