Notes
General:
"He was born in Brewster, July 22, 1809. He had command of brig "Old Colony," barque "Arab," and ships "Kingfisher," "Monterey," "Antelope " and "Charlotte."
His son has furnished the following sketch:
He was the youngest of ten children. After receiving a limited education in the district schools of his town, he left home, at the age of thirteen, in the old packet sloop " Fame," for Boston, where he joined his eldest brother, Joshua, who was master of the brig "Telemachus," on a voyage to Surinam as cabin boy. He remained with his brother for several voyages, and at the age of twenty-three received his first command, the brig "Old Colony," built at Plymouth. He followed the sea for twenty-five years and successfully commanded some of the finest clipper ships of those days.
At the age of forty-five, Captain Crosby retired from the sea and settled on his farm in Brewster. In 1856, he was elected representative to the general court, and was a member of the extra session in 1857 to establish districts for the choice of councillors, senators and representatives; also again in 1865, and was present during the exciting times, consequent upon the surrender of Lee and the assassination of President Lincoln. Always public-spirited, he gave to the service of the town and state an honest, true-hearted loyalty.
Captain Crosby died at his home in Brewster, December 14, 1891." - Brewster Ship Masters

Notes
General:
Son of Captain Matthew Crosby and Lydia Coffin Crosby. He married Elizabeth C. Pinkham daughter of Captain Seth Pinkham. He was a successful whaling merchant. As told by Edouard A. Stackpole in his book Rambling Through the Streets and Lanes of Nantucket William and his wife Elizabeth held many a delightful "social" in their home at 1 Pleasant Street. The first Chickering piano is said to have been in the east drawing room. They introduced frozen mousse to the island. The Great Fire of 1846 just about brought financial ruin for William when a number of warehouses burned where vast quantities of oil were stored. It was a second loss by fire. The first occured in 1838. His loss was estimated at $24,000. 44
