Database Manager on September 27, 2012:

Identified through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- Owen, 1979, notes that this organ was built for Dr. George K. Jackson, who was in the early nineteenth century "one of the leading organists in Boston." However, Dr. Jackson died before Goodrich finished the instrument, and upon completion it was sold to John Sowden, presumably for his own residence. Sowden was a vestryman at St. Paul Church (Episcopal), where Goodrich's largest organ was to be installed in just a few years.
