From Find a Grave contributor:

JOHANNA GARDNER ASPINWALL and Lt. Thomas Aspinwall are my 7th great-grandparents. Johanna was born May 27, 1712 in Brookline, Massachusetts. She married Lt. Thomas Aspinwall on May 16, 1728. Johanna was a young bride. She was married eleven days before her sixteenth birthday.

Thomas and Johanna lived in the Brookline house built by his grandfather Peter Aspinwall. Thomas, being "something of a carpenter", built a house for his eldest son Samuel in 1750. Another son, Caleb, died soon after being married. Their second son Lt. Col. Thomas Aspinwall and youngest son Dr. William Aspinwall lived to old ages, and each built houses of their own. Thomas and Johanna were the last of the Aspinwall family to live in the old house for a lifetime, though the house remained in the family for another one hundred years.

Dr. William Aspinwall (senior) owned the Peter Aspinwall house after his father died. William's son Col. Thomas Aspinwall was the next owner but lived many years in England, where he served as U.S. consul in London. So it was that in the 19th century, the old Aspinwall house had tenants until sometime before being taken down. Wood from the dear old manse was made into mementos, but the long-standing landmark residence was no more. Link to 19th century photo.

Dr. William Aspinwall used the house and maintained it, and his heirs leased it to well-known literary figures. [add info and sources]
