Named in the 1894 county history

The history of Suffolk County was published 10 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

(V) Thomas Saville, son of Jesse Saville (4), born at Gloucester, August 18, 1764, died there May 7, 1845. He received an excellent education for those times, and both he and his brother William were school masters in the districts of Gloucester. They were both known as "Master Saville," and were successful in their calling. The occupation seemed to prevail among the Savilles ; Sir William Saville was teacher of mathematics to Queen Elizabeth. In later years Thomas Saville went to sea and became captain of a vessel. During the Embargo acts, while in the West Indies, his ship was captured by a French frigate and taken to Guad'eloupe, where the vessel and cargo were confiscated. He was obliged to return home in another ship.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Suffolk County, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
