CHARLES APTHORP was born in England in 1698 and was educated at Eton. He was the son of John Apthorp and Susan his wife, whose maiden name was Ward, of the family of Lord Ward of Bexley.
After the death of his father Charles Apthorp came to New England, and became one of the most distinguished merchants of Boston. He was paymaster and commissary under the British Government of the land and naval forces quartered in Boston. On the 13th January, 1726, he married Grizzel, daughter of John Eastwicke. She was born August, 1708, at Jamaica and came to Boston in 1716. Her mother was Griselda Lloyd, daughter of Sir John Lloyd of Somerset, England, who assisted in conveying King Charles II to France after the battle of Worcester.
Charles Apthorp had eighteen children, of whom fifteen survived him and eleven married. He died in Boston suddenly in 1758 at the age of sixty. His funeral took place at King's Chapel twelve days later and his remains were therein deposited. He was reputed as the "greatest and most noble merchant on the continent." He was also characterized as "a truly valuable member of society," and that "he left few equals behind him." A marble monument with a Latin inscription was placed in King's Chapel to his memory by his sons, "which monument covers the tomb of the truly-noble-minded race of Apthorp."

Charles Apthorp (of Boston, Massachusetts) was the main “money contractor” for the British army, delivering the gold and silver coins it needed to pay its men. Out of each shipment of the army’s money, money contractors got to keep a 2.5 percent commission. For much of the mid-1700s, the British Empire was at war with the French, giving money contractors steady work. When Charles Apthorp died in 1758, his eldest son Charles Ward Apthorp became the firm’s principal, with his brothers and brother-in-law Wheelwright as partners.

He lived about four years at Brighton, when he embarked, with his wife, from New York for Charleston, S. C., to enjoy a warmer winter climate, and they were lost at sea. The children, one son and two daughters, were left under the care of their grandfather who attended most faithfully to their interests and education. One daughter married Charles Bulfinch his cousin, and the other Charles Vaughn, son of Samuel Vaughn, Esq., of London. The son, Col. John T. Apthorp, married Grace Foster, who lived only one year, leaving an infant. In another year he married her twin sister Mary by whom he had a numerous family.

Note:
East Apthorp (1733-1816), Church of England clergyman and author, was born at Boston, Massachusetts, the fifth of the fifteen children of Charles Apthorp (1698-1758), merchant of Boston, and his wife, Grizzel, daughter of John Eastwick, a Jamaica merchant. Entering Jesus College, Cambridge, in 1751, Apthorp took a bachelor's degree in 1753 and was awarded the prestigious chancellor's prize for achievement in classical studies. He was ordained as deacon in 1755.
Apthorp was elected a fellow of Jesus College in 1758, but news of his father's death caused his return home. In January 1759 he was invited to serve as minister to the Anglican congregation of Cambridge, Massachusetts. On 27 August 1761 he married Elizabeth, daughter of Eliakim Hutchinson, niece of the future governor Thomas Hutchinson, and granddaughter of the former governor William Shirley; they had eight children.
On 15 October 1761 Apthorp officially opened Christ Church, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the sermon he delivered, "The Constitution of a Christian Church", was his first publication. Perhaps it was this sermon, along with the palatial nature of his recently completed parsonage (Apthorp House), that touched off the events that became known as the Apthorp-Mayhew controversy, a pamphlet war with Jonathan Mayhew, the popular and outspoken minister of the Congregational West Church, Boston, which some say predicted the later rebellion. It was Mayhew who first used the phrase "no taxation without representation!".
Apthorp's growing unpopularity prompted his permanent return to England in September 1764. After receiving an appointment to the vicarage of Croydon, he settled into a life of scholarship and domesticity. Following the death of his wife, Elizabeth, he married Anne Crich, a daughter of John Crich, of Thurlow, Suffolk, in 1787.
In 1780, Archbishop Cornwallis awarded Apthorp a DD, along with the rectorship of St Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, London. Apthorp published fifteen books and pamphlets. He was elected to a prebendary of St Paul's Cathedral in 1790 and to the prebend of Finsbury in 1793. East Apthorp died on 16 April 1816 and was buried in the chapel of Jesus College, Cambridge.

In his discourse, "The Character and Example of a Christian Woman; a Discourse at Christ Church, Cambridge, on the Death of Mrs. Anne Wheelwright; 1764," in two parts, the Preacher very pathetically laments the loss of 'a most respectable Parent' (Charles Apthorp, esq. died at Boston, Nov. 11, 1758, aged 60); 'an honest and well-natured Brother' (Mr. Henry Apthorp died at Boston, England, Aug. 12,1762, aged25); 'an amiable sister-in-law' (Mrs. Alicia Apthorp, wife of John Apthorp, esq. died in Gibraltar, 20 October, 1763, aged about 24); and 'now, of one endeared to us in all the relations of a Daughter, Wife, and Sister' (who died 18 April, 1764, at the age of 28 years and 3 months).

Abstract: The collection includes a tribute "written by Mrs. E.

The letters reveal much about the domestic affairs of the Bulfinch family, life in Boston at the beginning of the 19th century, and the work of the architect Charles Bulfinch. The letters also give insight into the character of Mrs. Bulfinch, her intelligence, humor, and interest in national and international news. A third paper-bound volume contains plans of a New York bank building and copies of two letters from 1837 by Charles Bulfinch. A fourth volume contains a ms. eulogy delivered on the occasion of the death of Thomas Bulfinch, Feb. 26, 1802, presumably by James Freeman, rector of King's Chapel, Boston.
