"This is purely a genealogical work, no biographical materieals having been included, excepting with reference to the earlier generations. Like many other books of the kind, it is the outcome of researches undetaken with no intention of publication. The resultant work, however, will afford great pleasure to the descendants of Peter Aspinwall, who although no the first of the Aspinwall name to come to Americal, wa sthe founder of the family in this country. The genealogy is introduced by a few pages relating to the Apinwalls in England, and to William Aspinwall who came with Winthrop."

Here he built his house that stood until 1891 (at that time the oldest house in Brrokline). A surveyor 1651-2, 1661-2, and constable in 1667.

Will is dated 20 November 1687 and inventory is 9 December 1687. Widows death uncertain, but not living in 4 April 1701.
