By ROBERDEAU BUCHANAN, Author of the Genealogy of the Roberdeau Family. PRIVATELY PRINTED. U. £ o. WASHINGTON : JOSEPH L. PEARSON, PRINTER. 1877. TO MISS SUSAN SHIPPEN ROBERDEAU. THIS PAMPHLET IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY HEE NEPHEW, THE AUTHOR. O- E 1ST IE .A. Xj O O- T. This short Genealogy is intended merely as a continua- tion of that published in 1855 by Thomas Balch, esq., en- titled Letters and Papers relating to the Provincial History of Pennsylvania, with some notices of the writers, which was continued in this line, only so far as the name of Dr. William Shippen, the elder ; and from which the first three generations of the present paper are taken, aided by a few dates or facts from other sources. Many of this branch of the family are physicians, and nearly all who live to grow up attain the venerable age of 70 or 80 years, so noticeable in this family. There is much confusion among biographers in relation to the two Drs. Shippen. Thacher, in his Medical Biography, is the only one who states the matter correctly. Dr. Wil- liam Shippen, 4 the elder, was a member of the Continental Congress ; Dr. William Shippen, 5 the younger, his son, was Director-General of Military Hospitals. Joseph W., 5 an- other son of the former, has sometimes been confused with Joseph Shippen the Colonial Secretary, who was his first cousin. For several dates and facts regarding Dr. William, 5 Joseph W., 5 and John 6 Shippen, and for the account of the Harrison family, I am indebted to Charles R. Hildeburn, esq., of Philadelphia, who is preparing a full history of the whole Shippen family. To several of the family I am also in- debted for facts and information, particularly to Dr. Ed- ward Shippen, of Philadelphia. Washington, D. C, March, 1877. 1.

He was a man of great wealth. His wife died, October 25, 1688, and he was married secondly, September 4, 1689, to Rebecca Richardson, widow of Francis Rich- ardson, of New York; and thirdly, in 1704, to Elizabeth James, widow of Thomas James, of Bristol, England, whose maiden name was Wilcox ; but their issue soon became ex- tinct.

JOSEPH SHIPPED. 3 — Born in Boston, February 28, 1678-9 ; married in Boston, July 28, 1702, to Abigail Gross, (b.. October 25, 1677,) daughter of- Thomas and Eliza- beth Gross, a near relative of Governor Bowdoin's wife. Thomas was probably the son of Clement and Mary Gross, and grandson of Isaac Gross, who died 1649 (Savage). Jo- seph Shippen removed to Philadelphia in 170-4, and thence, after his wife's death, which occurred June 28, 1716, to Germantown, where he resided in the house now known (1855-76) as the Buttonwood Tavern. He married sec- ondly Mrs. Kose Plumley, by whom he had no children, and died in June, 1741, having had issue, all by his first wife : — i. Edward, b. Boston, July 9, 1703; of Lancaster; m.

WILLIAM SHIPPEN, 4 The Elder.— Born in Philadelphia, Oct. 1, 1712 ; received a good education in Europe and studied medicine, for which he had a remark- able genius ; became eminent in his profession, and was un- commonly successful in his practice. He was one of the founders, and a patron of the College of New Jersey at , Princeton, donating largely ; a trustee of the College of Pennsylvania ; Vice-President of the American Philosoph- ical Society ; and first Physician to the Pennsylvania Hos- pital for 25 years, 1753-1778. In his old age he was chosen a member of the Continental Congress, 1778-80 ; (not the son, as erroneously stated in the catalogue of Princeton College and other publications.) He was a friend of George Whitefield, and one of the founders of the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, of wmich he was a member for seventy years. Dr. Shippen was married, September 19, 1735, to Susan- nah Harrison, (born June 30, 1711); the daughter of Joseph and Katherine (Noble) Harrison, (married July 27, 1710); and granddaughter to John and Mary Harrison. Mrs. Shippen died in September, 1774, aged sixty-three years. Dr. Shippen died in Germantown, Nov. 4, 1801, at the advanced age of 89 ; his family being noted for their good health and long lives. Watson, in his Manuscript Annals of Philadelphia, in the Penn. Hist. Society, relates that " at the age of 90 he would ride in and out of the city on horseback, full gallop, without an overcoat, in the coldest weather." His very voluminous will is dated Sept. 1, 1783, with codi- cils July 13, 1794, and Oct. 4, 1795. He resided in Ger- mantown, near Philadelphia ; and was one of the largest landholders in that vicinity. His children, all born in Germantown, are, viz : — 5. i. William, jr., b. Dec. 21, 1736. 6. ii. Joseph William, b. Oct. 17, 1737. 7. iii. John, b. Jan. 23, 1740-1. 8. iv. Susan, b. Oct. 15, 1743; (Mrs. Blair.) 5. DK. WILLIAM SHIPPEN, 5 The Younger.— Born in ^llo. Philadelphia, December 21, 1736. Graduated at the Col- w\J2>^ .")*> lege of New Jersey, at Brinooton, 1754 ; studied medicine I/'** * under his father. After receiving his degree at Princeton, he visited Europe, where he pursued his studies under the celebrated Dr. William Hunter, of London, and then grad- uated at Edinburgh ; after which he traveled in France. Returning to Philadelphia in 1762 he began his lectures in Anatomy to twelve students. The College of Pennsylvania 6 GENEALOGY OF THE SHIPPEN FAMILY. in 1765 formed a medical school and placed him at the head of it as Professor of Anatomy ; he lived to see his class increase from twelve students to two hundred and fifty. He experienced much persecution on account of his lec- tures, and was mobbed for dissecting. Public feeling showed itself in various ways against him, such as the Ghost's Com- plaint: " The body snatchers ! they have come, and made a snatch at me ; It's very hard, them kind of men won't let a body be ! Don't go to weep upon my grave, and think that there I be ; They hav'nt left an atom there, of my anatomy." He was a trustee of the College of New Jersey from 1765, until 1796, when he resigned. During the Revolution, in 1776, Dr. Shippen entered the American army, and, April 11, 1777, was chosen by Con- gress, Director-General of all the military hospitals ; which post he held until January 3, 1781, when he resigned. In 1778 he succeeded his father as Physician to the Pennsylva- nia Hospital, 1778-9, and 1791-1802. In 1798, upon the death of his son, to whom he was much attached, he gave up lecturing ; and never afterwards engaged in his profes- sion, except to deliver a course of lectures ; and was much affected to see the class, then numbering 250, and all the professors, his former pupils. He was married about the year 1760 to Alice Lee, of Virginia. She was born June 4, 1736, the ninth child of Thomas Lee, who in his will styles himself " President and Commander-in-Chief of the said colony." Thomas Lee married Hannah Ludwell, granddaughter of Lady Berkley, and was the father of Richard Henry Lee, Francis Lightfoot Lee, and Dr. Arthur Lee. — (See the pedigree in N. E. Gen. & Hist. Register, xxvi. 62.) Dr. Shippen died in Germantown, July 11, 1808, aged 72. He was an eloquent speaker, well versed in the clas- sics, and one of the most eminent physicians the country has ever produced. Indeed, he has been styled the father of medical science in this country. He was an honorary member of the Massachusetts Medical Society, a member of the American Philosophical Society, and at one time curator. Mrs. Shippen died March 25, 1817, aged 81 years. Their children, all born in Germantown : — 9. i. Ann Hume, b. — 1761 ; (Mrs. Livingston.) 10. ii. Thomas Lee, b. — 1765. iii. William Arthur Lee, b. Aug. 21, 1776, died young, iv. — ix. Six Children, names not given, are mentioned on the tombstone as dying in infancy. GENEALOGY OF THE SHIPPEN FAMILY. 7 6. JOSEPH WILLIAM SHIPPEN. 5 — Born in Phila- delphia, October 17, 1737. He was a subscriber to the " Fish Club,"' a series of fashionable entertainments given in Philadelphia in 1763. A list of members is given by Mr. Balch, page xx. He was never married ; and lived on his farm called Oxford', in Sussex county, New Jersey. Part of this land was sold after his death to Judge Morris Robeson, and has since been the home of that family. Mr. Shippen died after Nov. 18, 1794, as by a bond executed to him of that date, and before Oct. 4, 1795, as by his father's will. 7. JOHN SHIPPEN, 5 M. D.— Born in Philadelphia, January 23, 1740-1. Graduated at the College of New Jersey, at Princeton, in 1758; after which* he traveled in Europe, and pursued his studies, taking his medical degree at the College of Rheims, in France ; an institution founded many generations ago, but destroyed during the French Revolution. So Professor Cameron, of Princeton, has as- certained. He returned to this country in March, 1768, and died unmarried, in Baltimore, November 26, 1770. 8. SUSAN (SHIPPEN) BLAIR. 5 — Born in German- town, October 15, 1743 ; and was married September 24, 1767, to the Rev. Samuel Blair, D. D., son of the Rev. Samuel Blair, principal of a noted classical school at Fogg's Manor, Pennsylvania, where some of the most distinguished ministers of the Presbyterian church received their educa- tion;* and one of the founders and first trustees of the College of New Jersey. Dr. Blair, the son, was born in Fogg's Manor, Chester county, Penn., in 1741, graduated from Princeton College at the age of 19, when he became a tutor, 1760-4. "He seems to have been a young man of fine talents and more than ordinary acquirements for his age. In proof of the justice of this remark, it may be stated here that in 1767, after Dr. Witherspoon had declined the first call of the trustees of the College of New Jersey (Princeton) to the presidency of that institution, young Blair, though not over 26 years of age, was elected to that office, with, as we have reason to believe, entire unanimity. But when the intelligence came from Scotland that owing to a change of circumstances, Dr. Witherspoon would probably accept the call if it should be renewed, Mr. Blair immediately declined the invitation, and Dr. Witherspoon was re-elected. This *See Footers Sketches in Virginia, new series, p. 81, seq. 8 GENEALOGY OP THE SHIPPEN FAMILY. was regarded at the time, as a remarkable instance of self- sacrifice to the public good." — (Sprague's Am. Presb. Pulpit; The Log College, by A. Alexander, &c.) In November, 1766, Dr. Blair was installed as associate pastor of the Old South Church, in Boston ; which he held two years, and then removed to Germantown ; he never afterwards took charge of a congregation, although he was the principal founder of the English Presbyterian Church in that place. In May, 1780, he was appointed chaplain to a brigade of artillery, to take effect from March, 1779; and in 1790-2 was Chaplain to the House of Representatives of the United States. Dr. Blair was a man of learning, and excelled in Latin and Greek ; he was honored by several literary societies ; receiving the degree of A. M. from both Princeton and Havard Colleges ; and D. D. from the University of Penn- sylvania ; and was a member of the American Philosophi- cal Society. In 1761 he published an oration on the death of George II. Dr. Blair died in Germantown, on the 51st anniversary of his marriage, September 24, 1818, aged 77. Mrs. Blair died October 12, lg21, aged 78. Their children, all born in Germantown : — 11. i.

Gen- eral Roberdeau was the son of Isaac Roberdeau, of Rochelle, France, a Huguenot, and of Mary Cunyngham, daughter of Robert Cunyngham, of the Island of St. Christopher, a scion of a noble Scotch family, and descendant of Alexan- der, Earl of Glencairn. Isaac Roberdeau was educated in Europe as a civil engi- neer, and was engaged under Major L'Enfant in laying out the city of Washington, and upon other public works. He subsequently entered the army as a topographical engineer, with the rank of Major. After serving at various points he was brevetted Lieutenant-Colonel, and surveyed the boun- ary, 900 miles in length, between the United States and Canada, under the Treaty of Ghent. Not long after, the topographical engineers were constituted a separate corps, and Colonel Roberdeau w^as intrusted with the responsible duty of organizing the Topographical Engineer Bureau in the War Department, of which he was made the chief, where he remained until his death, January 15, 1829, in the 66th year of his age. Colonel Roberdeau was a man of scientific acquirements, and in 1826 read a paper before the Columbian Institute, entitled observations on the sea coast of the United States. He also wrote a treatise upon a national observatory, and on the 22nd of February, 1800, delivered an oration upon the death of General Wash- 10 GENEALOGY OF THE SHIPPEN FAMILY. ington.

His mother was seeking safety from the British, and being over- taken by a storm, took refuge under the nearest shelter — the cave of VanNess, on the Raritan river, where Samuel was born. He often remarked that he was born in a storm, lived in a whirl, but hoped all would be calm when he should be called to pass the river of death. He was mar- ried, May 9, 1802, to Esther Smith, who died October 19, 1813, under thirty years of age. He lived in Germantown and Bristol, Pennsylvania ; never followed any profession and died May 16, 1859, in Bristol, in his 81st year. His children, all born in Germantown : — i. Samuel, b.
