William Crowninshield Endicott (November 19, 1826 – May 6, 1900) was an American politician and Secretary of War in the Administration of President Grover Cleveland.
William Crowninshield Endicott, son of William P. and Mary (Putnam) Endicott, was born in Joseph Peabody, who made a fortune importing pepper from Sumatra and was one of the wealthiest men in the United States at the time of his death in 1889. They had two children.
Following an unsuccessful run for Congress in 1879, Endicott served on the United States Army, including the establishment of a system of examinations to determine the promotion of officers.
Endicott chaired the Endicott Board of Fortifications which would provide the models for the generation of American coastal defense fortifications constructed in the era of the Spanish–American War, the Endicott Period Fortifications.
William Crowninshield Endicott died in Boston, Massachusetts. He is buried with his wife in the Endicott Lot (1554) at Harmony Grove Cemetery in Salem.
His daughter, Mary Crowninshield Endicott, married first the British statesman, Joseph Chamberlain, in 1888 and upon her first husband's passing, married the Anglican clergyman, William Hartley Carnegie, in 1916.
His son, William Crowninshield Endicott Jr., married in 1889 Marie Louise Thoron (1864–1958), daughter of Joseph and Anna Barker Ward Thoron.[1]
He was a direct descendant of the Massachusetts governor, John Endecott, and a first cousin three times removed of another Massachusetts governor, Endicott Peabody.
