He defended John Wilkes before Lord Mansfield, in 1763, and was Attorney- general of the British West India Islands in 1778. He was a Representative in the Massachusetts Legislature from 1789 until his death. "He had, " says Updyke, "an astonishing memory, was an admirable belle-lettre scholar, very learned in his profession, and particularly distinguished for wit and eloquence. " He was lost at sea in 1793. The figure is of three- fourths length. He is dressed in a brown coat, laced waistcoat,... and is sitting at a table with books and papers. This picture is in the possession of Mrs. C. P. Gardiner, of BrookUne. ^* Rev. Daniel Greenleaf We learn from Freeman's "History of Cape Cod, " that this gentleman was a son of Stephen Greenleaf, of Newbury; that he was born in 1679, was graduated at Harvard College in 1699, and married Eliza, daughter of Sherifif Gookin, of Suffolk, and granddaughter of Major-general Gookin, of Cambridge.
