Captain Pease entertained the writer on dinner occasions in his home in Edgartown, a "shipshape white house" on Cooke Street, which later became the summer home of Melville's daughter, Frances when she was the wife of Henry Besson Thomas.

Pease was apprenticed as a carpenter, became a lawyer; founded and was president of the Martha's Vineyard National Bank, and served as a probate judge. After James Polk became the president of the US, the democrats of Edgartown, who had campaigned for Joseph, were rewarded, when in 1845 he was appointed as a Customs Collector. One of his first duties was to move the West Chop Lighthouse and it's keeper's dwelling because of erosion of the point. He appointed his father, Jeremiah, to survey the job. During his term as collector, he was responsible for: issuing passports to those visiting foreign countries, inspection of immigrant carrying vessels for over-crowding and unsanitary conditions, issuing permanent registers to the Vineyard's whaling vessels, collecting taxes on mariners to assure them of hospital care if needed, and filing reports on ship disasters in his district (108 occurred during his four year term). His house was built at 67 North Water Street in 1849. Children of Joseph Thaxter and Sophronia Cottle (Norton) Pease born in Edgartown, MA:

2.4.1.14.1.7.2 William Cooke Pease; b. Oct 09, 1820; d. Dec 30, 1865 in Charlestown, South Carolina; bur. Jan 14, 1866 in the West Side Cemetery in Edgartown; m. Aug 22, 1842 in Edgartown, Serena Pease [2.4.1.6.2.5.5.1]. She was the daughter of Valentine Jr. and Prudence (Ripley) Pease. William Pease joined the US Revenue Marine Service in 1839. He was commissioned as a Third Lieutenant, promoted to Second Lieutenant in 1843, and First Lt. in 1850, while stationed in St. Mary's Georgia on the Crawford. He and Serena rented an apartment in the Captain Edwin Coffin House on North Water Street, until 1849, when they bought their own home, the third house up from the bank on South Water Street. When he became a first Lieutenant, he bought the house that architect Frederick Baylies Jr. had built for himself on Main Street, on the sight that became Edgartown Market. (The house was moved to Starbuck Neck Road in 1922.) From letters to his brother, Joseph, it was learned that along with other officers, Lt. Pease was not too fond of the uniforms assigned to the Revenue Service. He went as far as permanently removing some of the many buttons from the uniform jacket, shifting the blame to incompetent cleaning services. While at a lay over at a hotel in New York City, 1843, he wrote to his brother, " One would laugh to see me with cocked hat and sword on." He was promoted to Captain in 1854, and involved in a rescue effort of the wreck of the Revenue Cutter Hamilton. He commanded cutters on many Atlantic ports, supervised the building of six cutters on the Great Lakes, lost one in a hurricane in the Key West, and sailed two cutters from New York to the Pacific, via the Horn. In 1854, Captain Pease was given command of the Jefferson Davis, spent time on the Pacific Coast in the Washington Territory, and returned to the east in 1861. Because of his time in Charlestown, where he made many friends, Captain Pease was falsely accused of being a Southerner, and plotting with Confederate privateers on the Pacific. President Lincoln exonerated him in Apr 1863, and assigned the captain to Newport, Rhode Island, in command of the Kewanee convoying vessels from Savannah, Georgia to NY. Pease was well liked in the west as much as the south. In a letter signed by 48 San Francisco Merchants, to the Honorable Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, when they heard of the intention of a US Revenue Cutter being sent to their port city: "the undersigned merchants ..respectfully request that Captain William C. Pease be placed in command of the vessel designed for the protection of Commerce at this port, having full faith in the capabilities of Captain Pease as an Officer and Seaman.." A similar petition was drafted by 52 San Francisco lawyers, who commended him for his "zeal and promptitude in the preservation of lives and property. The British consul wrote that Captain Pease had subdued mutinies in Benicia, Peru, and the rescue of the crew of the Panama schooner Eliza Kniper totally wrecked at Halfmoon Bay. Captain William C Pease died from typhoid fever in Charlestown on a return voyage from the west. His body laid in state on the Revenue Cutter Kewanee, and was brought to New Bedford, MA. There, his remains were transferred to the Miami and returned to his home in Edgartown. On Jan 14, 1866, a funeral service was held at the Seaman's Chapel on Church Street, with many of his friends from that town and South Carolina attending. It was a clear cold day, and the late captain received a nine minute gun salute from the crews of the Miami and the James C. Dobbin anchored offshore.

The latter ship was to proceed to New Bedford to receive the remains of Captain William Cooke Pease, brother of Cyrus, and transfer the body to Edgartown.
