This short bio of Henry Sidney Everett is from The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography, 1899. This reports that he was born in Charleston, MA. Contrary to the previous source, this says he died in Brighton, England rather than Bournemouth.
"EVERETT, Henry Sidney, engineer and diplomat, was born in Charlestown, Mass., Dec 32, 1834, second son of Edward and Charlotte Gray (Brooks) Everett. He was graduated A.B. at Harvard College in 1855 and A.M. in 1862; studied engineering at the Lawrence Scientific School, and in Paris; was for a short time, in 1865, on the staff of Brig. Gen. Rufus Saxton. In 1877 he was appointed secretary of the U.S. legion to Prussia, but resigned in 1884, having four times acted as charge d'affaires during vacancies in the legation. He was chief of the diplomatic bureau in the department of state (1885-89), and was also actively interested in the charitable organizations of the city of Washington, D.C. He died at Brighton, England, Oct 4, 1898.".

"RICHARD SULLIVAN FAY - He graduated at Harvard College 1825, was a merchant of Boston and resided here. He had a beautiful summer residence in Lynn, Mass., and was much interested in forestry and landscape gardening. A few items are given from Newhall's History of Lynn concerning his residence there. "In 1847 he purchased the estate (and many acres of adjoining territory) on which was the mineral spring, popularly called the "Red Spring," its waters having a reddish hue. About the century 1600, Dr. John Casper Ritcher Van Crowningshield, the ancestor of the Crowingshiields of Salem, purchased the adjacent lands and settled on them, the celebrated Cotton Mather among others visited him and partook of the waters of the spring, and in one of his elaborate works extols their virtues. The situation is delightful. The little lake which has received the pretty name, "Lynnmore" nestles so cosily and smiles so brightly between thickly wooded hills, that it might be imagined there had been a compact that it should be shielded from the wild winds that should agitate its bosom in return for refreshing exhalations it might send up to renovate the drooping foliage. Upon the western bank which rises gracefully to a considerable height was erected in 1810, the edifice long known as Lynn Mineral Spring Hotel. It was a favorite summer resort and no inland retreat could be more charming. There was fishing in the "Pond," fowling in the woods, and beautiful drives in all directions.
In 1847 Mr. Fay purchased the estate and improved it greatly by planting a great many varieties of rare and beautiful trees, many of them are foreign. England and France are re[presented, the Black Forest of Germany, even Russia and Liberia. There is a pleasing variety of grove and lawn, pasture and arable ground, woodland and meadow, and altogether the landscape is one of uncommon freshness and vigor. In traversing the grounds one is forcibly reminded of feudal days and baronial domains, and if the ivied walls of an ancient castle could be discerned peering from some rocky crest across the lake the illusion might be complete. This beautiful estate is still in possession of the Fays which they continue to improve and beautify. The family leave their city home early in the season to enjoy the loveliness of their beautiful estate, where they remain until late in the autumn. Mr. Fay died in Liverpool, England in 1865, aged 59 years. Mrs Fay was living in 1886."
