Explanation. 
 
 Under the first Charter, granted by William Penn, in 1682, as a 
 frame of government for Pennsylvania, and extended to the counties 
 of New Castle, Kent, and Sussex on the Delaware, the upper house 
 of the legislature was called the Provincial Council, and was com- 
 posed of representatives ciiosen hy the people. One-tiiird retired 
 each year, and, to increase the number of persons familiar with such 
 service, it was provided that, after the first seven years, a retiring 
 member should not be again chosen until a year had elapsed. While 
 this Charter continued in force, about eighty persons served as Coun- 
 cillors, among tliem William Markham, who was the first Lieutenant- 
 Governor under Penn, and Thomas Lloyd, who was also many years 
 at the head of affairs in the Province. During the short period when 
 Pennsylvania was a Royal, as distinguished from a Proprietary Prov- 
 ince, eleven persons were appointed as the Council for these parts, 
 Markham again being Lieutenant-Governor. At the surrender of the 
 old Charter, during Penn's second visit to his dominions, he invited a 
 number of persons to act as Councillors, who served until his depart- 
 ure. The Charter of 1701 having made no provision for an Upper 
 House or a Cabinet, he then commissioned ten persons as a Provin- 
 cial Council, to advise the Lieutenant-Governor whom he or his heirs, 
 true and absolute Proprietaries and Governors, should appoint, and to 
 administer the laws in the absence of such an officer. The Lieuten- 
 ant-Governors added to this body as occasion required, and it main- 
 tained perpetual succession until the American Revolution. Edward 
 Shippen was its first President, and,, as such, was the liead of the 
 Colony for some time. Of the other Councillors who qualified before 
 the period embraced within this book, those who took the greatest 
 part in public affairs were, with few exceptions, still in office in 1733. 
 From that date until its abolition, the Provincial Council was a dis- 
 tinguished body, its members holding their seats practically for life, 
 and, selected from both the Quakers and the Churchmen, being the 
 wealthiest, the most experienced in public affairs, or for other reasons 
 
vi Explanation. 
 
 tlie most influential persons, speaking generally, from Cape Henlopen 
 to the Blue Mountains. The Proprietaries' political opponents, to be 
 sure, were not invited to a seat in the Council, but several of tliem, as 
 well as of the chief officers of government, were sons or sons-in-law 
 of Councillors ; so that, if the list of the Councillors is defective as a 
 roll of the great men of Provincial times, yet the genealogical tables of 
 their families will be found to embrace, with few exceptions, the lead- 
 ers of all factions and the chief administrators of all public trusts. 
 Their biographies make up a history of Pennsylvania under its old 
 regime, and of Philadelphia when the largest city on the Continent. 
 It has been thought interesting to the descendants, at least, to sujjple- 
 ment this with a recbrd of the career of the other members of the 
 families down to the present day. 
 
 The following work gives, with biographical sketches, more or less 
 extended, a complete list of the descendants, as far as has been ascer- 
 tained from public records and correspondence with representatives of 
 the families, Burke's Peerage, however, being depended upon as to the 
 foreign branches set forth therein, and Lanman's Biograph. Annals or 
 Benton's Thirty Years' View furnishing the material for notices of 
 American public men since the Revolution. The earliest laws of 
 Pennsylvania having ordered a division among all the children, the 
 descent of land is the chief source of genealogy. Where property 
 has passed by will, however, the compiler assumes, in the absence of 
 other evidence, that if the will speaks of no lineal descendants, the 
 testator died without issue, and on the other hand, that the cliildren 
 or deceased children's children for whom the will provides, were the 
 only ones who survived him ; if others are known to have been born 
 pi'evious to its date, the omission of them is evidence that they had 
 died without issue. In a conflict of authorities for biographical facts, 
 the compiler has followed those ofiicial records or the copies of them 
 within his reach which will suggest themselves to the reader as the 
 best evidence in the nature of the thing to be proved. Thus, where 
 family records and church records differ, the latter are deemed conclu- 
 sive as to the bajitism, marriage, or burial therein stated, and bap- 
 tismal registers, as to the Christian name. Dates have been copied 
 exactly as they stood, and therefore nearly always are old style prior 
 to September 3, 1752. The dates of birth of living people have 
 been inserted only when furnished by some relative. 
 
 These genealogies are arranged according to branches instead of 
 generations, all the posterity of any man being given before the chil- 
 
Explanation. vii 
 
 dren of his younger brother. Where a section, or paragraph, gives a 
 list of children only, tiie next section takes up the eldest of these 
 who left descendants, and gives a list of his or her children, the next 
 takes up the eldest parent among these, and so on. When the pei-son 
 whose sketch begins the section is a member of the last generation of 
 the past century, all of his or her descendants are embraced in the same 
 section, ranged under their respective parents, each generation set at a 
 certain distance from the margin. Reference to tiie place where a 
 name which begins a section has previously appeared in a list of cliil- 
 
 dren, is made by the words "last named," "as above," "p. ;" and 
 
 to the place where a name appearing in a list of children is to appear 
 again as tiie head of a new section, by the words " see below " or " see 
 
 p. ." The running title shows to wiiat female branch the persons 
 
 mentioned at the top of the page belong. In a list of ciiildren, the 
 surname is given only after the word " Issue." If it does not there 
 appear, it is the same as that of the Councillor. The names of mem- 
 bers of past generations or of the oldest generation now living, are 
 printed in small caps. ; the generation next to them, in ordinary type ; 
 the younger generations, in small type. If nothing is said as to mar- 
 riage or offspring of a person now deceased, the compiler has been 
 unable to obtain information ; but as to living persons, he understands 
 that those persons are unmarried of whom he mentions no marriage, 
 and those married couples have had no children of whom he mentions 
 no issue. 
 
 The undersigned would call attention to certain of the histories or 
 parts thereof having been kindly prepared by members of the respect- 
 ive families, who have allowetl their names to be given at the head 
 of the histories, and thereby assumed the responsibility for their work. 
 In the preparation of the rest of the book, he must acknowledge very 
 considerable assistance from Mr. Charles R. Hildeburn, who gathered 
 much of the earlier genealogical data, and from Messrs. Tiiomas 
 U. Walter, Louis A. Ridge, Samuel Chew, J. Claytor Montgomery, 
 William Brooke Rawle, James L. Lardner, George Fisher of York, 
 Pa., and George Tilghman Hollyday of Baltimore, Mrs. Mary S. R. 
 Sheets of Indianapolis, Miss Martha M. Lawrence of Hamburgh, 
 N. J., and others who have prepared or revised biographical sketches 
 and genealogical lists.

 Brackets around a name indicate that it was dropped — or, rarely, 
 added— later in life. "Jany., 1703-4," "Feb., 1708-9," "Mch., 
 1715-6," mean respectively January, February, and March at the 
 close of the years 1703, 1708, and 1715, which legally began on the 
 25th of March. 
 
Corrigenda and Addenda. 
 
 (6)— 37th line, " 1767 " should be " 1764 ;" on 38th line, " 1774 " 
 should be "1772;" on last line, "alive" should be "living;" and 
 it might be added tliat the letter speaks also of the pension to a 
 Mr. Aiskell, which, like hers, was paid as thQ recipient needed it, 
 and that after the death of T\ioraas Penn, his executors, in April, 
 1775, ordered that the annuities to Mr. Aiskell and "Mrs. Bar- 
 ker" should be continued ; whence we infer that Joanna Brown 
 
 had married Barker.

William Markham. 
 
 William Makkham was the first cousin of William Penn, being 
 son of Admiral Penn's sister, as would appear from Admiral Penn's 
 will leaving to "nephews James Bradshaw and William Markham" 
 and " nephews John Bradshaw and George Markham." The last 
 named was doubtless the Charles George Markham who was in Penn- 
 sylvania in the year 1697, witnessing a deed of that date recorded in 
 the Deeds ofiBce at Phila. Tiie name of Markham is found at an 
 early period among the gentry of old England, or that class which in 
 Continental Europe would be called the lesser nobility. There was a 
 Sir Alexander de Markham, Constable of the Castle of Nottingham, 
 in the time of Henry III, and a Sir John Markham, Judge of the 
 Common Pleas from 1396 to 1407. Two families, both descended 
 from the latter, one of them from a son who was Chief Justice of 
 King's Bench, were seated in Nottinghamshire, bearing the same arms, 
 which also the William Markham who came to Pennsylvania used as a 
 seal impaled with the arms of Thomas of Dublin. He is described as 
 "Captain Markham" at the time when Penn intrusted him with the 
 inauguration of a government over his newly acquired territories, and 
 it is just possible that the statement of Deborah Logan that David 
 Lloyd had been Captain in Cromwell's army, whereas that Quaker 
 agitator was not born before 1655, may have been true of William 
 Markham, who was a man grown before the death of the Loi'd Protec- 
 tor. Receiving the Charter for Pennsylvania from King Charles II on 
 Mch. 4, 1681, Penn executed a commission, dated at Westminster the 
 10th of the following month, appointing his " cousin William Mark- 
 ham " his deputy to call a Council of nine, he presiding, to take the in- 
 habitants' acknowledgments of his authority, to settle boundaries with 
 his neighbors, to survey, rent, and sell lands, to erect courts, and appoint 
 justices, sherifl's, and inferior officers, and to do anything for the peace 
 and safety of the Province within the power granted to Penn from the 
 King except calling Assemblies to make laws. William Markham 
 sailed for America probably by the first opportunity after the date of the 
 commission, a voyage across the Atlantic in the sailing vessels of that 
 
 (A) 
 
(2) Markham, 
 
 period taking a number of weeks. He landed probably at Boston, 
 where Ills commission was put on record, and made his way to New 
 York, where he exhibited his credentials, and received, June 21, 1681, 
 from the Lieutenant-Governor and Council a letter to the officers within 
 the bounds of Pennsylvania. 
 
 At Markham's arrival, the only town in Pennsylvania was Upland 
 (now Chester), where he fixed his residence, being described by Penn 
 a year later as of that place. From the elements which made up the 
 population, he gathered his councillors, who qualified on August 3rd. 
 They were Otto Ernest Koch and Capt. Lasse Cock, both Swedes, 
 William Warner, Morgan Drewett, William Woodmanse, Robert 
 Wade, William Clayton, and Thomas Fairman, Quakers, — the last a 
 surveyor, — and James Sandelands, a Scotchman who had married a 
 Swede (see Pa. Mag. Hist. &ct, Vol. II, p. 443). At the end of the year 
 1681, Markham was joined by John Bezar and Nathaniel Allen, their 
 colleague William Crispin, having died on the voyage. These three 
 had been commissioned September 30th to lay out a " great town " of 
 10,000 acres. Markham assisted them in locating it, the site being 
 chosen soon after their arrival. There is on record in the Deeds office 
 at Phila. a release by Thomas Fairman appended to an account for

Markham. (3) 
 
 On July 15, 1682, Markham made the first purchase under tlie 
 Proprietary government of land from the Indians, buying the site of 
 Pennsbury manor and the lands adjoining, in all about 45000 acres 
 lying on the West bank of the Delaware and the North bank of the 
 Neshaminy. For this he gave 350 fathoms of wampum, and also 300 
 guilders ($146.00) and a quantity of articles, i. e. 20 guns, 40 lbs. of 
 shot, 2 barrels of powder, 20 kettles, 40 axes, 40 hoes, 40 pairs of 
 scissors, 40 combs, 10 small saws, 100 awls, 200 knives, 200 small 
 glasses, 20 blankets, 40 shirts, 40 pairs of stockings, besides liquor, 
 tobacco, and dry goods, — enough when we consider the wildness of the 
 land to relieve both the agent and his principal from the imputation 
 of having gotten from ignorant people a valuable estate for a few gew- 
 gaws. This deed was ratified by other Indians on August 1, and 10 
 more guns were given. 
 
 On October 27, 1682, William Penn in the ship Welcome arrived 
 before New Castle. He sent a messenger ashore to notify the Justices ; 
 and John Moll, senior Justice, with some others went to the ship, and 
 viewed the deeds of the Duke of York for New Castle and the twelve 
 miles around it and the land below to Cape Henlopen. Obtaining 
 twenty-four hours delay to consult with E])liraim Herrman, who with 
 John Moll was authorized by the Duke to deliver seisin, Moll the 
 next day in conjunction with Herrman surrendered possession of the 
 fort at New Castle by giving Penn the key to go in alone, lock himself 
 in, and open the door again, and by delivering a turf with a twig upon 
 it and a porringer containing river water and soil. Penn sent Mark- 
 ham as his attorney to receive livery of seisin for the country twelve 
 miles below, and at the house of Captain Edmund Cantwell on Appo- 
 quinimink Creek, Moll and Herrman made the same kind of livery 
 as at New Castle. By the arrival of Penn, the Proprietary and Gov- 
 ernor, in Pennsylvania, the commission to his Deputy, Markham, was 
 superseded. 
 
 Markham was one of the members chosen to the first Council under 
 the Frame of Government of 1682, and for a few months attended the 
 meetings, the first of them being held on the 10th of 1 mo., 1682-3. 
 In the following Summer, he went to England to transact Penn's busi- 
 ness at Court. Lord Baltimore had disputed the Duke of York's 
 title, and Penn's as his grantee, to the Lower Counties, and Penn was 
 endeavoring to have the Lords in Council decide in his favor. It was, 
 however, agreed that Lord Baltimore should have time to appear in 
 person before the Lords, which he promised to do in April, 1684. There 
 
(4) Markham. 
 
 is among the Penna. Archives a petition from Markham to the Duke, 
 setting forth that, instead of appearing, Lord Baltimore had been try- 
 ing to induce the tenants to turn to him, and the Duke's name on the 
 landmarks had been taken down, and praying that the cause might 
 nqt be delayed by Lord Baltimore, and that meanwhile some stop be 
 put to " his unhansome and foule practices." Returning to America, 
 Markham was made Secretary of the Province and Territories on S 
 mo. 28, 1685, and continued such until the beginning of 1691. 
 
 Being also Secretary to the Proprietary until succeeded by Logan 
 in 1699, he was appointed on 11 mo. 21, 1686, with Ellis and Goodson 
 or either of them to act as Commissioners for land to grant warrants 
 and pass patents, and on 10 mo. 16, 1689, Markham, Turner, Goodson, 
 and Carpenter or any two of them, he being one, were commissioned 
 with the same powers, as also to act as a Court of Exchequer for the 
 collection of rents, and auditing the Receiver's accounts. He served 
 another term in the Council, by election to fill a vacancy from Kent 
 Co., and for some time kept the records of Phila. Co. In April, 1690, 
 he heads a petition from five persons, three of them Swedes, to the 
 Council, presided over by the Quaker Lloyd, " to settle the country 
 in such a posture that we may be able by force of arms to defend it 
 against any assault of our enemies." 
 
 Markham appears to have been a Churchman, and, although he 
 never made himself obnoxious to the Quakers, was more in sympathy 
 with the descendants of the earlier emigrants sent hither by Queen 
 Christina of Sweden,' the burgomasters of Amsterdam,' or the Duke 
 of York. With several of the Delaware Councillors, he supported 
 Blackwell against Lloyd and his partisans. When Penn afterwards 
 offered the Council the choice between a Lieutenant-Governor and 
 five Commissioners, he named Markham among the latter, and 
 expressed his own preference for such a government. A separa- 
 tion taking place between the Province and the Lower Counties, 
 Penn appointed Markham Lieutenant-Governor of the latter. He 
 held this position about two years, Fletcher's arrival, April 26, 
 1693, uniting both Pennsylvania and what is now Delaware to 
 New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. The former dominion 
 of Penn, however, was allowed a separate Council and Lieutenant- 
 Governor. Thomas Lloyd declining the first place at this Council, 
 Fletcher conferred it upon Markham, and on April 27, with the 
 unanimous consent of the Council, appointed him Lieutenant-Gov- 
 ernor. From about this time he, is called "Colonel." Within two 
 years, the King and Queen restored the government to Penn, and Penn 
 
Markham. (5) 
 
 commissioneil Markham his Lieutenant-Governor with John Goodson 
 and Samuel Carpenter as Assistants. Markham accordingly remained 
 at the head of the Colony until the arrival of the Proprietary the 
 second time in America, at the end of the year 1699. This period 
 ■was the high day of |)iracy on the American coast, the time of Cap- 
 tain Kidd. Much of the trade in the sea-port towns was in ill-gotten 
 goods, and the cupidity of the adventurers who held the offices for the 
 execution of the laws bound them to the pirates. Governor Fletcher 
 licensed vessels sailing from New York with piratical designs. Edw. 
 Randolph, Surv. Gen. of Customs, accused Markham of conniving at 
 piracy, and wrote that certain well known pirates had been seen in 
 Philadelphia, and Markham had paid no attention to the Lords' pro- 
 clamations, had neglected to prosecute forfeited bonds, had adjourned 
 the courts, to the benefit of fraudulent debtors. Some months later, 
 ■when a piratical craft had come into Delaware Bay, taken nine or tea 
 ships, and committed several robberies on the people of Pennsylvania, 
 Markham applied to the Earl of Bellomont for a man-of-war to guard 
 the Bay, but none were at that officer's disposal. Certain offenders 
 being found in town, and pointed out to him, he made several arrests. 
 Although the Province contained at least 7000 men capable of bearing 
 arms, he was a weak governor at such times for want of a militia. 
 This crying need of the Province was forced upon Peun's attention by 
 the Lords of Trade, and some years later several companies of soldiers 
 ■were formed. 
 
 Markham bought Jasper Yeates's house on Front St. in Philadel- 
 phia, and resided in it until his death. Penn seat a warrant to Lt. 
 Gov. Hamilton to appoint Markham Register-General of Wills, in 
 pursuance of -n'hich he was so commissioned 5, 27, 1703. John 
 Mooi'e, the former Register, withholding the seal of the office, Mark- 
 ham was authorized by the Council to use his private seal. Moore 
 contested the legality of Markham's appointment, and before the mat- 
 ter was decided, Markham died in Phila. June 12, 1704. Although 
 Penn had expressed dissatisfaction at various things done by him as 
 Commissioner of Properly, yet Logan, in his letter of 4 mo. 12, 1704, 
 says, " Poor, honest, Col. Markiiam this morning ended a miserable 
 life by a seasonable release in a fit of his old distemper that seized his 
 vitals." He had a military funeral, the militia turning out, as Logan 
 also writes, to bury him " very honorably, like a soldier." He mar- 
 ried at least twice. The wife who survived him was named Joanna. 
 She was not the mother of Markham's only child. When he mar- 
 
(6) Markham. 
 
 ried her, she was a widow with one daughter, Elizabeth, who m., 1st, 
 Edward Robinson of Phila., merchant, whose will was probat. Nov. 
 4, 1699, and, 2nd, Jacob Regnier of Lincoln's Inn, barrister-at-law, 
 and d. s. p. before Aug. 3, 1715. The widow Markham removed to 
 New York City, where she died Oct. 4, 1726. 
 Issue : 
 
 Ann, d. after 1733, Logan, in a letter of Aug. 11, 1734, writ- 
 ing that he had read "Brown's," and that she was certainly 
 " a base woman to dispute facts so clear," it appearing that 
 she claimed a quantity of land bought by Markham, but 
 which he left to his wife, and the latter conveyed to her 
 nephew, Theodore Colby. Logan adds, " his aunt gave him 
 a firm title for the land, and it was absolutely his." Davis's 
 Hist, of Bucks Co. says that, in pity for her distresses, an 
 allowance was made to her. Shem. between 1690 and 1698 
 James Brown, wiio is spoken of in Edward Randolph's letter 
 of Apr. 26, 1698, as a pirate married to Lt. Gov. Markham's 
 daughter. He appears to have been twice taken up for 
 piracy, being acquitted the first time. In 1699, while a 
 Member of Assembly from Kent Co., he was taken with 
 some of the pirate Avery's men, and brought to Philadel- 
 phia, and by the advice of the Council was sent to the Earl 
 of Bellomont at Boston. The latter wrote. May 25, 1700, 
 that he M'as much solicited to set Brown at liberty, but did 
 not feel free to do so. With eight other culprits he was 
 accordingly sent to England, under charge of Admiral Ben- 
 bow (Doc. Hist. N. Y.). It would seem that he met a felon's 
 death, as his wife a few years later is called a widow.

 the city of New York only daughter of Ann Brown 
 of the same City and granddaughter of William 
 Markham late of the City of Phila. Esq. dec'd," sold, 
 some property devised to her and her brothers. In 
 1767 the Penn family granted her a pension, and in 
 1774 Richard Hockley, who speaks of her by no other 
 name than "Col. Markham's granddaughter," writes, 
 "The old gentlewoman is still alive and hearty." 
 
Thomas Lloyd. 
 
 The Lloyds of Dolobran in Wales were a well known " county 
 family ;" and Charles Lloyd, owner of that seat, and his brother 
 Thomas Lloyd, President of the Council of Pennsylvania and the Terri- 
 tories on Delaware, were with William Penn and Robert Barclay of 
 Ury the chief converts to Quakerism among the gentry of Britain. 
 The surname Lloyd was assumed in the XVIth Century by Owen, 
 son of Ivan Teg, or Ivan the Handsome, whose family had owned 
 Dolobran since the year 1476, and who, like most Welsh gentlemen, 
 named a line of ancestors extending beyond the Dark Ages. The 
 descent from Owen Lloyd is given, apparently more accurately than 
 in Burke's Landed Gentry, in the Montgomeryshire Collections for 
 1876. The grandmother of President Lloyd, i. e. the wife of John 
 Lloyd of Dolobran, gentleman, was descended from King Edward I 
 of England in the following legitimate and, for many generations, 
 illustrious line. Edward I's granddaughter " the Fair Maid of 
 Kent" — she was daughter and heiress of Edmund of Woodstock, Earl 
 of Kent, — married, 1st, Sir Thomas Holland, who received the title 
 of Earl of Kent, and after whose death she married, 2udly, William 
 Montacute, Earl of Salisbury, and, 3rd, Edward, Prince of Wales, 
 commonly called " the Black Prince," by whom she was mother of 
 King Richard II. Her eldest son, Thomas Holland, who succeeded his 
 father as Earl of Kent, and was Marshal of England, was the father 
 of Eleanor, who m., 1st, Roger Mortimer, Earl of March, — from 
 which marriage descended King Edward IV, — and, 2nd, Edward 
 Cherleton, Lord Powys. Lord Powys by his marriage left co-heir- 
 esses, one of whom, Joan, m. Sir John Grey, who in the year 1418 
 was created Earl of Tankerville. The Earl of Tankervilie by this 
 marriage had a son Henry, who succeeded him as Earl of Tanker- 
 ville, a title which the family lost when Normandy was taken by the 
 French. The male line became extinct with the death of Henry's 
 great-grandson Edward Grey, Lord Powys, in the 5th year of the 
 reign of Edward VI ; and an inquisition found that Edward Kynas- 
 
(8) Lloyd. 
 
 ton, Esq., was Lord Powys's next heir. Edward Kynaston was great- 
 grandson of Henry, the 2nd Earl, whose daughter Elizabeth had mar- 
 ried Roger Kynaston, Esq., leaving a son Humphrey, who was father 
 of Edward. To this point the descent is almost public history, and 
 when, in 1731, Edward Kynaston's male heir claimed the barony of 
 Powys, the fact of his descent from the Earl of Tankerville was 
 admitted. Now it was said in the Montgomeryshire Collections, Vol. 
 IX, page 337, that Margaret Kynaston, dan. of Edward, and in Burke's 
 Landed Gentry that Margaret Kynaston, sister of Roger (which does 
 not conflict, for Roger was the son of Edward), married John Lloyd, 
 or Wyn, father of Humphrey Wyn of Dyifryn : but it now appears 
 by the better authority of the Hardwick Kynaston pedigree, published 
 in the Montgomeryshire Collections for April, 1882, which Hon. Chas. 
 Perrin Smith had not seen when he compiled his " Lloyd and Carpen- 
 ter Family," that Margaret Kynaston, wife of John Wyn, or John ap 
 Evan ap Owen, was sister, instead of daughter, of Edward Kynaston 
 above named. She was thus granddaughter of Elizabeth Grey, whose 
 grandmother was descended from King Edward I. Margaret Kynas- 
 ton's son, Humphrey Wyn of Dyffryn, was father of Katharine, the 
 wife of John Lloyd of Dolobran, and the paternal grandmother of 
 the subject of this sketch. 
 
 Charles Lloyd of Dolobran, father of the President of the Council, 
 was born in 1613, and was a magistrate for Montgomeryshire. He was 
 a genealogist, and caused to be emblazoned on a j>anel at Dolobran his 
 coat-of-arms with fifteen quarterings, impaled with the arms of his 
 wife. A drawing of this was sent to the family in this country when 
 the jmnel was taken down, and is as good evidence of ancestry in 
 the female line as we could well have of any person living two cen- 
 turies ago. On this shield the first, or paternal, arms are az. a chevron 
 between three cocks ar. — those of the Princes of Dyfed, of whom Aleth> 
 the sixteenth generation back of Thomas Lloyd of Penna., was living 
 in the Xlth Century, and the earliest of the line whose name is given 
 was Meirig, said to have lived five centuries earlier. These arms are 
 difiPerenced by a crescent, to denote that the Dolobran Lloyds descended 
 from a second son. To follow up all the quarterings, and show Lloyd's 
 descent from those who bore the various arms, would lead us through 
 a labyrinth of Welsh names suggesting nothing to the reader. Suffice 
 it to say that some of the arms appear to have been those borne by the 
 Poles, or ancient male line of lords of Powys, the Cherletons, Greys, 
 and Kynastons, thus corroborating the pedigree given above. 
 
Lloyd. (9) 
 
 The mother of Thomas Lloyd was Elizabeth, dan. of Thomas Stan- 
 ley of Knockin, whose coat-of-ai'ms of five quarterings Charles Lloyd 
 impales. Its first quarter is the shield of the Earls of Derby differ- 
 enced with a crescent charged with a crescent, which indicates that 
 Thomas Stanley of Knockin descended from the second son of a second 
 son. Charles and Elizabeth Lloyd had the following children : 
 
 Charles, who inherited Dolobran, and was ancestor of the 
 
 Lloyd who founded Lloyd's banking house in London, 
 John, who was a Clerk in Chancery, 
 Thomas, who came to Pennsylvania, 
 
 Elizabeth, who m. Henry Parry of Penamsei-, Merioneth- 
 shire. 
 
 Thomas Lloyd was born about 1640, and was sent to Jesus Col- 
 lege, Oxford. We are told that while there, in 1663, he became a 
 convert to Quakerism, and forsook the " vain pursuits " of a Univer- 
 sity course ; but the catalogue of the graduates from Oxford gives us 
 the name: Tho. Lloyd, Jes., B. A. Jany. 29, 1661, from which we 
 may infer that he had graduated before the date of his conversion. 
 
 The Society of Friends was now in the second decade of its history. 
 The preaching of George Fox, its founder, began in 1647, and before 
 the death of King Charles I, there were gathered together a few who 
 believed in, and professed themselves wholly guided by the Inward 
 Light. This was their fundamental principle, and the various features 
 which are vulgarly thought to make up Quakerism, as non-resistance, 
 refusal to take oaths, &ct., came later in the striving after a more spir- 
 itual religion. Fox refused a commission in a company of Parlia- 
 mentary troops, but rather because he was called to a spiritual combat, 
 on which account he would have declined entering into trade as well, 
 than from any scruples then felt against the shedding of blood. Clad 
 in leathern clothes, he itinerated through the North of England 
 calling people to repentance, like one of the prophets of old, and crying 
 out against churches, church-yards, and tithe-taking preachers, and de- 
 claring it a dishonoring of the Creator to take off the hat to a creature, 
 and maintaining that Christ within him had made him free from all 
 sin. The rural populace must have had little spirituality in their 
 former religion, and seen little meaning in their ecclesiastical formula, 
 for when he preached to them Christ indwelling in the heart of the 
 believer, they flocked to hear it as something entirely new, and when 
 
(10) Lloyd. 
 
 he attacked the outward institutions of religion, everybody was 
 silenced. The Independents, who succeeded the Presbyterians in the 
 magistracy, committed him to jail on the charge of blasphemy : but he 
 made converts even among the soldiery, many of whom, scrupling to 
 take an oath, left the army when Lord Protector Cromwell required it 
 to swear allegiance to him. Other men and women, some of whom 
 had not seen Fox, felt themselves called to preach the Light. In 
 1654, there were more than sixty preachers who could be called 
 Quakers; and meetings were established in the principal cities of 
 England and Scotland. In the next year missionaries went to Ireland, 
 Holland, and New England. In the later years of the Commou- 
 wealth, which saw the rise of a multitude of fanatical sects, the Quakers 
 increased to great numbers. They were in harmony with the icono- 
 clastic and levelling spirit of the age, but they also held out the 
 hand to those who recoiled from the violence and licentiousness of 
 the Fifth Monarchy men. No wonder, then, that at the Restoration of 
 King Charles II, the sect numbered so many people. At first they 
 called themselves Children of the Light. The name " Quaker " was 
 given to Fox in derision by a justice of the peace whom he had told 
 to " Tremble [or, rather, quake] at the presence of the Lord." The 
 Merry Monarch was disposed to be easy upon non-belligerent pietists, 
 who had suffered at the hands of the sects which had put his father to 
 death. He gave audience to them, and released several from prison, 
 and, as all know, in later times was a friend to William Penn ; but the 
 reactionary party at Court placed or maintained upon the statute 
 book certain laws — only one designed against Quakers particularly — 
 whose penalties the Quakers incurred. Much persecution took place 
 under the Act against those persons " known as Quakers or by other 
 names of separation " who taught that it was unlawful to take an oath. 
 Refusal by any such person to take an oath was made punis'iable for 
 the first offence by fines and for subsequent offences by various pen- 
 alties and finally transportation. In 1664, Thomas Lloyd and several 
 others were arrested as they were travelling on the highway, and taken 
 before a justice, by whom, in accordance with the Act, tiiey were com- 
 mitted to prison. The confinement in Lloyd's case at least was not 
 close. His marriage took place while he was under the jailor's charge, 
 and his wife was allowed to visit him. But he was not completely at 
 liberty until King Charles II by letters patent in 1672 dispensed with 
 the laws inflicting punishment for religious offences, when, says Besse's 
 Sufferings of the Quakers, Charles Lloyd, Thomas Lloyd, and others 
 
Lloyd. (11) 
 
 " were discharged out of Montgomery gaol." Thomas Lloyd became 
 a physician, and had a large practice. He was a man of such influ- 
 ence that, we are told in the Friend, Vol. XXVIF, his solicitations 
 induced Parliament to abolish the long unused writ de hceretico com- 
 burendo with the application of which the Quakers had been threat- 
 ened by their enemies. He had " many considerable offers from noted 
 men who had power to bestow great places &ct. if he would have been 
 prevailed on to change his religion." In the year 1681, his brother 
 and himself held a public disputation in the town-hall at Llanvilling 
 with Rt. Rev. AVilliara Lloyd, Bp. of St. Asaph, a man of very con- 
 siderable learning, one of the prelates whom James II a few years 
 later committed to the Tower. 
 
 Thomas Lloyd with his wife and children embarked at London for 
 Pennsylvania June 10, 1683. Among the passengers on the same ship 
 was Francis Daniel Pastorius, a scholar educated at the best schools in 
 Germany, on his way to take charge of the lands bought of Penn by 
 the Frankfort Company. He and Lloyd conversed in Latin, and he 
 composed verses in praise of Lloyd's three eldest daughters. After 
 a voyage of over two months, tiiey arrived in Pennsylvania on the 
 20th of 6 mo. (August.) Among the laws agreed upon in England 
 by Penn and the purchasers, it was provided that all conveyances of 
 land for longer than one year, and all bills and bonds over 5/., unless 
 payable within three months, should be registered in a public enrol- 
 ment office. The Assembly which met at Chester in December, 1682, 
 re-enacted this in its main features in the 44th Law of the Province. 
 On Dec. 27, 1683, Penn established this office by the appointment of 
 Lloyd as Master of the Rolls, to kept a fair and exact enrolment of 
 all laws and public proceedings of justice, if not in rolls, at least in fair 
 books. He was to hold his position during good behavior, and, as a 
 tribute therefor, was to yield and pay to Penn and his heirs a clean 
 and fair roll of parchment on the 1st day of 1st month in every year. 
 This wholesome regulation of the Founder of the Province to have 
 all important instruments recorded, was never carried out. At the end 
 of five years, Blackwell found that none of the laws passed since 
 Lloyd's appointment had been enrolled, and the conveyancer of the 
 present day knows how tardily the purchasers before the recent Act of 
 May 24, 1878, took their deeds to the Recorder. In 1688 the Assem- 
 bly validated all the instruments then unrecorded, provided they 
 should be brought for record within twelve months if executed out of 
 the Province, and within six months if executed within it, and dis- 
 
(12) Lloyd. 
 
 pensed with the law reqiiiruig the recording of bills and bonds. In 
 1693, the Assembly abolished the system by an Act declaring unre- 
 corded deeds as valid as if they had been recorded, and ordaining for 
 the future simply that the exemplification of the record of a deed should 
 be as good in court as the original. 
 
 In the beginning of the 1st mo. of 1684, Lloyd was chosen a mem- 
 ber of the Provincial Council, attesting to keep the debates secret — the' 
 only form for qualifying — on the 20th. In August, the Governor 
 embarked for England, leaving a commission to the Council to act in 
 his stead, with Thomas Lloyd as their President. He also appointed 
 Lloyd Keeper of the Great Seal, and Lloyd, Robert Turner, and 
 James Claypoole (brother of John Claypoole who m. Oliver Crom- 
 well's daughter) Commissioners of Property, to grant warrants for 
 surveying land, and to issue patents on the survey being duly made 
 and "returned. These commissioners acted only two years. Lloyd 
 desiring to be relieved of office, the government by the Council was 
 terminated 12 mo. 9, 1687-8, wheu there was received from Penn a 
 commission to five persons, Lloyd, Turner, Simcock, Cook, and Eck- 
 ley to exercise the powers of a Deputy-Governor. This arrangement 
 lasted about ten months. Penn offered the Lieutenant-Goveruorship 
 again to Lloyd, but he refused, and no other Quaker fit for it being 
 willing to accept, Penn conferred it upon Capt. John Blackwell, then 
 in New England, who had been Treasurer of the Army in the time of 
 the Commonwealth, a man of high reputation for integrity, who had 
 refused a great office in Ireland under Charles II and James II because 
 it depended upon perquisites. He was a Puritan, and liad married a 
 daughter of General Lambert. Nathaniel Mather (Mass. Hist. Coll.) 
 wrote of him in 1684, "For serious reall piely & nobleness of spirit, 
 prudence, etc. I have not been acquainted with many that equall him." 
 He arrived Dec. 17, 1688, his first act, strange to say, being the setting 
 apart of a day for "solemn thauksgiving to Almighty God for his 
 inestimable blessing to his Majesty's kingdoms and dominions by the 
 birth of a Prince" (James II's unfortunate son, who had come so 
 unwelcome to Protestant England that his parentage was impugned). 
 
 Lloyd, still Keeper of the Great Seal and Master of the Rolls, was 
 very troublesome to Blackwell throughout his whole term of office. 
 First, he refused to pass certain commissions under the seal. Afterwards, 
 as he was going to New York, he was requested to leave the seal with 
 the Council, that public business might not be obstructed, but he de- 
 clined, declaring it out of their power to deprive a man of au office which 
 
Lloyd. (13) 
 
 he held for life. He refused to hand over the official communications 
 received during his presidency, although the Council resolved tiiat 
 all letters of instruction should be delivered to the Secretary, and such 
 parts of other letters as gave any instructions should be copied for 
 public use. He refused to seal the commission for a Provincial Court, 
 declaring the document " more moulded by fancy than formed by 
 law." Moreover, he undertook to appoint as Clerk of the Peace 
 David Lloyd, whom the Lieut. -Governor and Council had just sus- 
 pended for refusing to produce papers. In March, 1689, Thomas 
 Lloyd was by Bucks Co. again elected a member of the Council, but 
 the Lieut.-Governor proposed articles of impeachment. The Council 
 objecting to take part in this measure, the Governor adjourned that 
 meeting. But when they next met, Lloyd very coolly entered the 
 room, saying he had come to take his place. The Governor said there 
 was nothing expected of him until he answered the charges: Lloyd 
 replied that he had as good a right to sit there as the Governor had 
 to be Governor. As he refused to withdraw, Blackwell adjourned to 
 his own lodgings, ordering the members to follow him. Some staid 
 to fight it out with Lloyd ; but such were the " sharp and unsavory 
 expressions " used by the latter that Markham, the Secretary, induced 
 the Governor to return. Lloyd was again commanded to depart, and 
 the other members followed Blackwell. A similar scene was enacted 
 at a subsequent meeting. 
 
 Blackwell was continuously opposed by the most important Quakers, 
 to the chagrin of William Penn, who had thought that the high char- 
 acter of Blackwell would make his goyernment satisfactory to Friends, 
 while his not being of that sect would leave him free to obey the 
 Crown. Penn wrote to Blackwell 7 mo. 25, 1689, "I would be as 
 little vigorous as possible ; and do desire thee, by all the obligation I 
 and my present circumstances can have upon thee to desist ye prose- 
 cution of T. L. I entirely know ye person both in his weakness and 
 accomplishment, and would thee end ye dispute between you two upon 
 my single request and command and that former inconveniences be 
 rather mended than punished. Salute me to ye people in general! 
 pray send for J. Simcock, A. Cook, John Eckley, and Samuel Car- 
 penter, and let them dispose T. L. and Sa. Richardson to that com- 
 plying temper that may tend to that loving and serious accord yt 
 becomes such a government." In response to letters from both Black- 
 well and his enemies, Penn relieved him of the government, and, that 
 the Council should have no occasion for grumbling, submitted to their 
 
(14) Lloyd. 
 
 choice two commissions duly signed, one authorizing the whole body 
 to act as Blackwell's successor, they choosing a President, and the 
 other commission permitting them to name tliree persons in the Prov- 
 ince or Lower Counties, from whom Penn would choose one as Lieu- 
 tenant-Governor, and until his mind should be known the one having 
 most votes or being first chosen should act as such. On 11 mo. 2, 
 1689-90, the Council unanimously accepted the commission appoint- 
 ing the whole body as Penn's deputy, and elected Thomas Lloyd 
 President. On the 4th of the same month, the Council decided unani- 
 mously that the Keeper of the Broad Seal might sit as a member ex 
 officio of any County Court, and on the 11th of April the Clerkship 
 of the Peace for Phila. Co. was referred to his disposal as chief officer 
 • of records. Under Lloyd's presidency, the Lower Counties became 
 discontented. After long complaint of the delay of justice, six of 
 their Councillors, in Nov., 1690, undertook to appoint new judges; an 
 act which the Council at large repudiated, promising however to 
 appoint others, of whom a Delaware man should be president in Dela- 
 ware. On 1 mo. 30, 1691, there were submitted for the Council's 
 choice two new commissions, one for the Council to name three persons 
 from whom Penn would appoint a Lieutenant-Governor, the person 
 having most votes to act until Penn's pleasure should be known, the other 
 for Lloyd, Markham, Turner, Jennings, and Cann or any three of 
 them to exercise a Lieutenant-Governor's powers, and if neither com- 
 mission were accepted, the government to remain in the whole Council. 
 The Councillors from Philadelphia, Bucks, and Chester were unani- 
 mous for a single executive, but those from Delaware, seeing that 
 Lloyd would be chosen, declared against it. Ten members being 
 present, Lloyd in the chair, Growdon called out, " You that is for 
 Thomas Lloyd, Arthur Cook, and John Goodson to be nominated 
 Deputy-Governor stand up and say yea." Whereupon the Delaware- 
 ans, protesting that the Charter required two-thirds as a quorum and 
 a two-thirds vote in "affairs of moment," left the meeting. Three 
 days later, six of them, claiming that the government was still in the 
 Council, met at New Castle, and chose John Cann President. Lloyd, 
 made Lieutenant-Governor until Penn's appointment should be known, 
 accepted at the importunity of friends, and tried to win back the 
 Delawareans, but in vain. Penn was grieved at his acting upon this 
 " broken choice," and urged a reunion, but finally commissioned Lloyd 
 as Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylvania, and Markham as Lieuten- 
 ant-Goveruor of the Lower Counties. This arrangement lasted until 
 the arrival of Gov. Fletcher.

 It was during Lloyd's administration that George Keith caused a 
 schism in the Society of Friends, and Janney, in his Life of William 
 Penn, says that this dissension was urged as a reason for the appoint- 
 ment of a Royal Governor. Keith was a graduate of Marischal Col- 
 lege, Aberdeen, and had been a Presbyterian before joining the Friends. 
 He became one of the great champions of the Society, appeared at 
 several disputations, and wrote many books in support of its tenets, 
 travelled with Penn and Barclay on the Continent in its service, and 
 suffered long imprisonment and much pecuniary loss iu its cause. He 
 drifted into various mystical views, at one time believing in the trans- 
 migration of souls. He came to America embittered by persecution, 
 and practised in controversy, was some time Surveyor-General of East 
 Jersey, and for a year taught the Friends' School in Phila., but relin- 
 quished such occupation to travel to other colonies to preach and chal- 
 lenge the opponents of Quakerism. He justly deemed himself the 
 greatest man in the Society in America, and, Fox and Barclay being 
 dead, so that there was no one abroad to command him, he determined 
 to be its leader. He contended for greater plainness of dress, objected 
 to Quakers acting as magistrates giving sentence for corporal punish- 
 ment, proposed rules of discipline and government, importuned for a 
 confession of faith. A theologian inferior only to Barclay of all whom 
 the Society had produced, he was quick to detect the erroneous doc- 
 trine in the loose preaching of those around him, and he attacked the 
 preachers in the strongest words. He accused Fitzwater and Stock- 
 dale before the Meeting for having declared that " the light of Christ 
 was sufficient for salvation without anything else," thereby inferring 
 there was no need of the coming of Christ. The Meeting, which could 
 not refuse to censure Stockdale, blamed Keith for violating Gospel 
 order in not first communicating with Stockdale, and for his rancor- 
 ous expressions. Stockdale and Fitzwater brought charges of bad 
 doctrine against Keith, and Bowden, in his History of Friends in 
 America, says there is no doubt that he had departed from the views 
 of the Quakers on the efficacy and universality of Divine grace. 
 Keith's friends, remaining at a Monthly Meeting after the Clerk had 
 left, voted an adjournment to the school-house, and there, mustering a 
 great force, condemned his accusers, and suspended them from the Min- 
 istry. The Quarterly Meeting set aside these proceedings. Keith, 
 unable to carry his proposals as to the time of meetings for worship, 
 at last started a separate meeting, the attendants on which assumed the 
 name of Christian Quakers. In the severest language he denounced 
 
(16) Lloyd. 
 
 his former comrades, who, he said, came together " to cloak heresies 
 and deceit." Tlie Haverford Monthly Meeting says that Lloyd's 
 trials in his native land were " not to be compared to the many and 
 great exercises griefs and sorrows he met withal and went thro' in 
 Pennsylvania from that miserable apostate George Keith and his 
 deluded company." Keith declared that he was not fit to be Governor 
 and " his name would stink," and Keith told the Quarterly Meeting of 
 Ministers in 1st mo., 1692, that there were "more damnable heresies 
 and doctrines of devils among the Quakers than among any profession 
 of Protestants." At the next Quarterly Meeting, a declaration of dis- 
 unity with him was issued, headed by Lloyd's signature ; and for his 
 slanderous words against Lloyd and Samuel Jennings, one of the Jus- 
 tices, he was tried before the County Court at Phila., and fined, and 
 Bradford, the printer, who was publishing his address to the Quakers, 
 was deprived of his tools, and thrown into prison, as were John Macomb, 
 who circulated it, and Thomas Budd, who wrote a pamphlet on Keith's 
 side. The Quakers alleged, and perhaps justly, that the pamphlets 
 tended to sedition, but these proceedings were the grounds of a charge 
 that the Quakers, as well as other religious bodies, could persecute, as 
 though this mild correction for intemperate language was to be classi- 
 fied with the fires of Smithfield, or the lashings on the Quakers' backs 
 — and putting three Quakers to death — in New England." 
 
 Lloyd declined the first place in Fletcher's Council. He died of a 
 fever Sept. 10, 1694, having been for nearly eight out of the eleven 
 years that he resided in Pennsylvania the highest officer in the Pro- 
 vince.

 removal 2, 29, 1698, and after he had spent some time in London, the 
 Meeting there gave him a certificate for his return, 6, 14, 1699. He was 
 in Philadelphia during the Proprietary's second visit to America, and 
 seems to have enjoyed the Proprietary's personal friendship. He 
 finally settled as a merchant in the Quaker City. He was admitted 
 to the Governor's Council on the 9th of February at the close of the

 year 1703. In 1704, Laetitia Penn, William Penn's daughter, mar- 
 ried William Aubrey, and the latter appointed Richard Hill and Rees 
 Thomas his Attorneys. 
 
 It was about this time that in the Assembly of the Province, led by 
 David Lloyd and Joseph Wilcox, broke out a fierce opposition to 
 William Penn. The deputies had been nettled by the high-handed 
 conduct of the young Lieutenant-Governor in his attempts to bring 
 about a reunion with the deputies from the Lower Counties ; and they 
 <loubtless imbibed the ill humor instilled into the Church of England 
 people by Col. Quarrj', who has been called " a Royal spy in the 
 various Proprietaiy governments in America." As the struggle pro- 
 -ceeded, they could count for re-election on the popularity which oppo- 
 sition to taxes generally procures. While combating the Governor 
 on the question of raising money for war, in which no Quaker's con- 
 science would allow him to acquiesce, and also as to whether the 
 Assembly should be allowed to sit on its own adjournment, without 
 any right in the Governor to dissolve or prorogue it, which every 
 friend of parliamentary freedom must deem reasonable, they were 
 desired by William Penn, then in England, to provide for paying the 
 amount of the former Lieutenant-Governor's salary — 2001. i)er annum 
 — and other charges connected witii the government since Penn's 
 departure. Penn's finances were now, indeed, at the lowest ebb. The 
 colony had cost him £10,000 in the first two years of its existence, 
 " which," he says, " with £3000 I overspent myself in King James' 
 time, and the war in Ireland that followed has been the true cause of 
 all my straits." No supply came from Pennsylvania during the fifteen 
 years between his first and second visits there. On the contrary, he 
 had spent in London "to hinder much mischief against us, if not to 
 do us much good," not less than £400 each year, in all £10,000. Thus 
 impoverished, he had now his eldest son's expensive family to sup- 
 port: and he had young children, and was obliged to husband his 
 American estate to provide for them in the future ; for his Irish estate 
 was settled on the children of his first wife. He was therefore seeking 
 a little assistance from the people for whose benefit he had done so 
 much. But their representatives rose in remonstrance for a variety of 
 grievances. The taxes which had been created for the Proprietary's 
 benefit, the members themselves refused to pay, and their influence 
 rendered the collection impossible. Just before adjournment, a com- 
 mittee was appointed to address the Proprietary in plain terms. The 
 result was the setting forth in a " most virulent, unmannerly invec- 
 
Lloyd— Richard Hill. (19) 
 
 tive," prepared by David Lloyd, of a number of complaints, beginning 
 with clauses in the Governor's commission inconsistent with the 
 Charter and the negligence of Penn in procuring the Royal assent to 
 most necessary bills, and then proceeding to the injustice practised by 
 the surveyors, the office of Surveyor-General having been vacant since 
 1701, and the failure of the Commissioners of Property to give lands 
 in exchange for those lost by adverse title. This was enclosed in a 
 letter to Friends in England known to be enemies of Penn asking them 
 to oblige him to do justice, saying that the vilest of men were let into 
 the judiciary, and speaking of " the condition this poor province is 
 brought to by the late revels and disorders which young William 
 Penn and his gang of loose fellows lie accompanies with are found in." 
 The writing of such a letter caused some little reaction. The con- 
 test, however, between the Lieutenant-Governor and the Assembly 
 •went on. They argued about the quit-rents, about money for the war, 
 about the privileges of the House and its members. In the Assem- 
 bly, William Biles of Bucks County, " that pestiferous old man," as 
 Logan calls him, cried out, " He is but a boy : he is not fit to be our 
 Governor. We'll kick him out. We'll kick him out." Whereupon the 
 indignant officer sued Biles for slander, and demanded that the Assem- 
 bly expel him. This it declined to do; and accordingly it was dis- 
 missed, June 23, 1705. Owen, Pusey, and Hill then prepared a letter 
 to the Proprietary, declaring their abhorrence of Lloyd's paper, and 
 assuring him of their readiness to support all the charge of govern- 
 ment. It was signed by the great mass of the Friends, now stirred up 
 in favor of their comrade and patron : and it was made effectual by an 
 energetic political canvass, resulting in the choice of members of As- 
 sembly well affected towards the Proprietary. Hill was of the number. 
 A bill for the collection of quit-rents secured to Penn that source of 
 income, and the appropriation of 800^. out of a 2^d. per I. tax and 
 some 600^. from an impost on liquors settled the trouble about the 
 Lieutenant Governor's salary and the other public charges. 
 
 Nevertheless Lieut. Gov. Evans excited the aversion of all Quakers. 
 With the aid of John French, he went so far as to contrive a false 
 alarm in order to frighten them into taking up arms. He was care- 
 less of the growth of vice, licensing a great number of public houses ; 
 and he permitted fines to be imposed by the Lower Counties upon the 
 residents there who had scruples against military service. The New- 
 castle Assembly passed a law that every vessel going down the river 
 should pay powder-money. The Quaker traders declared they would 
 
(20) Lloyd — Richard Hill. 
 
 not comply, and gave orders to that eifect to the masters of their 
 vessels. A sloop bound for Barbadoes was about to sail wiien the 
 Lieutenant-Governor told the master that if he did not stop at New- 
 castle, the vessel would be fired upon, and he made prisoner. The 
 master reported this to Hill, the principal owner, who indignantly 
 remonstrated with the Governor, and then went aboard the vessel, and 
 in it proceeded down the river. The Governor had hurried to New- 
 castle on horseback, and set a watch in the fort for the sloop. When 
 the vessel came within range, the fort opened fire, but the sloop escaped 
 uninjured, and, hotly pursued by boats, in one of which was the Gov- 
 ernor, put over to Salem, New Jersey, carrying along John French, 
 who had boarded it. There Hill placed himself under the protection 
 of the Queen's flag ; and Lord Cornbury, Governor of the Jerseys, 
 arriving, insisted on the sloop being allowed to proceed on its voyage. 
 This signal bravery of Richard Hill, who dared to stand fire, although 
 he could not conscientiously return it, brought to the Quakers freedom 
 from the imposition of which they complained. A year later, Hill, 
 Norris, and Preston were unanimously elected Aldermen of the City 
 of Philadelphia, and in Oct., 1709, Hill was chosen Mayor. During 
 his term of ofiice, the influence of the Corporation was favorable to the 
 Proprietary, whereas it had formerly been controlled by the opposing 
 faction. In 1710, the quarrel between Logan and David Lloyd 
 brought out a full Quaker vote at the election for Assemblymen, and 
 Hill was returned to the House. He was Speaker during that session 
 and the next, as also in 1716; and was in the Assembly continuously 
 until 1721. We must recognize him as the political leader who did 
 most to preserve Quaker and Proprietary ascendency in his day. Hill 
 was Mayor of the City so many times that when, in 1717, he declined 
 re-election, he was excused in view of long service from the fine usually 
 imposed. During his last term as Mayor and Speaker, Lieut. Gov. 
 Gookin charged him with disaifection to King George, and said that 
 the only occasion of difference between them was that Gookin would 
 not agree to Hill's project of proclaiming the Pretender. The Assem- 
 bly went into Committee of the Whole on this charge, and communi- 
 cated with the Lieutenant-Governor, and held several meetings : but 
 Gookin, whose conduct on many occasions betokened a disordered 
 mind, replied that he was not obliged to render to the House any 
 reasons for his accusation, but would do so to the Board at home. He 
 said he believed in his conscience that the Speaker was in favor of the 
 Pretender; but further than this gave them no satisfaction. The

 House accordingly declared the charges without foundation, adding 
 that the Lieutenant-Governor, having approved of Hill to be Speaker, 
 should in justice to the Assembly give grounds for the charge, or clear 
 him of the imputation. After William Keith became Lieut.-Governor, 
 Gookin was again asked for his reasons, the new official being unwill- 
 ing to have any one in his Couucil who was believed disloyal ; but 
 nothing further was elicited. Logan, too, was included in the charge, 
 the investigation, and the acquittal. 
 
 One of the Proprietary's Commissioners of Property, a Trustee 
 under William Penn's will, &ct., <fect., Richard Hill sided with Logan 
 and Norris against Sir William Keith and the popular party. On 
 the 4th of October, 1717, he was made President of the Council for 
 the period of Keith's absence, which, however, turned out to be only 
 a fortnight. In 1720, as one of the six oldest Councillors, he was 
 qualified as a Master in the Court of Chancery just organized. He was 
 also several years a judge of the Supreme Court of the Province.

 Susannah Lloyd, dau. of Thomas and Susannah Lloyd, see p. (22), 
 d. Oct. 24, 1772, m. Xt. Ch. Nov. 4, 1762, Thomas Wharton Jr. (for 
 information as to whom and his descendants we have followed the 
 Genealogy of the Wharton Family by Anne H. Wharton.) He was 
 son of John Wharton of Chester, Pa., by his w. Mary, dau. of James 
 Dobbins, and was b. about 1735. He was brought up in the counting- 
 house of Reese Meredith in Phila., and was in mercantile business with 
 Anthony Stocker prior to the Revolution. He took an active part in 
 the public meetings of 1774, being placed on the Committee to cor- 
 respond with the other colonies, and sitting in the Provincial Conven- 
 tion which met in July of that year as an advisory body to overawe the 
 Assembly. When, on June 30, 1775, the Assembly made prepara- 
 tions for the defence of Pennsylvania, it appointed Wharton one of 
 the twenty-five members of the Committee of Safely. The Commit- 
 tee, re-appointed in October, continued to act until the Constitutional 
 Convention of July, 1776, assembled. On July 24, 1776, that body 
 established a Council of Safety to exercise the executive authority of 
 the government until the new Constitution went into operation. At 
 the head of this Council was Thomas Wharton Jr. With difficulty 
 the people were induced to accept the Constitution, and the ad interim 
 rule of Wharton and his colleagues was prolonged until after Febru- 
 ary, 1777, when the citizens of Philadelphia complied with the 
 provision for a Supreme Executive Council, and chose Wharton to 
 represent them. On Mch. 4th, the new government organized by the 
 election of AVharton to the Presidency of the Supreme Executive 
 Council. " Although Thomas Wharton has been spoken of as an 
 
Lloyd — Wharlon branch. (25) 
 
 ardent Constitutionalist, we find nothing to justify such a statement 
 beyond the circumstance oi" his having acceptxibly filled the position 
 of first Constitutional Governor of Pennsylvania, and are disposed u> 
 rank him among the moderate supporters of the new system. * * 
 His views ou this subject seem fairly set forth in the following letter, 
 addressed to Arthur St. Clair soon after the adoption of the Constitu- 
 tion. ' True it is there are many faults which I hope one day to see 
 removed ; but it is true that if the Government should at this time be 
 overset, it would be attended with the worst consequences not only to 
 the State, but to the whole Continent, in the opposition we are making 
 to Great Britain. If a better frame of government should be adopted, 
 such a one as would please a much greater majority than the present 
 one, I should be very happy in seeing it brought about. * * ' " 
 It became Thomas Wharton's task to draw together the adverse ele- 
 ments in his native State : and the people, we are told, met the an- 
 nouncement of his election with shouts of joy. In September, 1777, 
 he and his colleagues were obliged by the advance of the British to 
 retire to Lancaster, having previously transported to Virginia a large 
 number of persons whom they considered disaffected and dangerous. 
 Wharton was re-elected President in November. His government 
 during this period was in a very hard position, unceasingly besought 
 to furnish men and money out of a devastated territory to fight for an 
 almost hopeless cause. During his term of office, in the midst of 
 arduous duties, Thomas Wharton Jr. died, at Lancaster May 23, 1778. 
 He was buried under the floor of the Lutheran Church of that town.

 " designing to translate the whole, his having that again will 
 "save him a good deal of trouble in translating it over 
 "again." Henry Hill returned to Amei-ica about 1763, and 
 represented in Philadelphia the family firm of Hill, Bisset, 
 & Co. and Hill, Lamar, & Bisset, in the wine trade, living 
 in considerable style. He built for his city residence the 
 large house on Fourth St. between Union and Cypress Alley 
 (after his death purchased by Dr. Philip Syng Physick, an<l 
 since occupied by the latter and his descendants) ; and in 
 1770 Thomas Lamar, congratulating him on the purchase 
 of a large tract of land, hopes that he will call it Hilltown 
 or Hillingtou, " to give a significant title to a dukedom in 
 future times, as will in all probability be the case." The 
 idea of a dukedom, however, did not prevent Hill from 
 actively supporting the Patriot cause during the Revolution.

Edward Shippen. 
 
 BY ELISE WILLING BALCH. 
 
 Amongst those who emigrated from the Mother Country for the 
 purpose of bettering their fortunes, and not to escape religious perse- 
 cution, was Edward Shippen, who, we find in " Letters and Papers 
 relating chiefly to the Provincial History of Penna., by Thomas Balch," 
 was the younger son of William Shippen, of Presbury, Cheshire, and 
 afterwards of Methley, Yorkshire, gentleman. The family occupied 
 a position of importance; the four sons of his brother. Rev. William 
 Shippen, D. D., rector of Stockport, Cheshire, were: (1) Robert 
 Shippen, D. D., principal of Brasenose College, and Vice-Chancellor 
 of Oxford University; (2) William Shippen, M. P., the "down-right 
 Shippen " of Pope, the famous leader of the Jacobites, of whom Sir 
 Robert Walpole repeatedly said that he was not to be. approached by 
 corruption, and whose courage and integrity in Parliament procured 
 for him, Dec. 4, 1717, the glory of a warrant of the House of Com- 
 mons, committing him to the Tower for "reflecting on his Majesty's 
 Person and Government," who m. Frances, dau. of Sir Richard Stote; 
 (3) Edward Shippen, grad. Brasenose College, and was a physician, 
 and m. (Foster's Lancashire Pedigrees) Frances, dau. of Richard 
 Legh, of Lyme, widow of Sir Gilbert Clarke; (4) John Shippen, a 
 Spanish merchant and British Consul at Lisbon. 
 
 Edward Shippen, the President of the Council, was b. on his 
 ancestral estate, Hillham, Yorkshire, 1639. Bred to mercantile pur- 
 suits, he emigrated to Boston in 1668, where he, as a merchant, was 
 very successful, for it appears that he was, on removing to Phila., 
 worth at least £10,000, a sum by no means inconsiderable in those 
 days, particularly in a new country. His sagacity and ability largely 
 increased his fortunes during his residence in Phila. He bi-ought 
 with him to Boston, his notions as a member of the Established 
 ■Church, for he at once joined the Artillery Company, but in 1671, 
 
Shippen. (47) 
 
 he ni. Elizabeth Lybraiifl, a Quakeress, and became a member of that 
 sect, aud shared in the "jaiiings, whippings (on 9th Aug., 1677), and 
 banishments, the fines and imprisonments," inflicted on the inoffensive 
 Quakers. Nevertheless, he prospered, and on Sept. 12, 1687, pre- 
 sented a petition, upon consideration of which this order was made: 
 "That whereas, Edward Shippen, of Boston, merchant, hath, by his 
 petition, set forth that, for many years past, he and those under whom 
 he claims, have been possessed of a certain house and ground wherein 
 he now liveth ; one other house and ground, in the occupation of 
 Thomas Savage ; one other liouse and ground, in tlie occupation of 
 George Dawson ; several warehouses and grounds belonging thereto; 
 and about four acres of ground in pasture; all within the town of 
 Boston; and moreover, petitions to have them confirmed to him; 
 whereupon, the Governor, Sir Edmund Andross, ordered them to be 
 surveyed, so that a patent for them may be granted unto him." Mr. 
 Siiippen owned, besides, several wharves, somewhere near Faneuil 
 Hall, known in the last century as Shippen's Wharves. In 169.3, a 
 meteor appeared, and therefore " a fresh persecution of the Bajjlists 
 and Quakers " was " promoted," and reached such a pitch that Mr. 
 Shippen was either banished, or driven to take refuge in Philadelphia. 
 It seems to have taken about a year to dispose of his estate in Boston, 
 and transier the proceeds to his new house. He did not quit Boston 
 without erecting a memorial on "a green," near to "a pair of gallows, 
 where several of our friends had suffered death for the trutii, and 
 ■were thrown into a hole." He asked leave of the magistrates " to 
 erect some more lasting monument there, but they were not willing." 
 In Phila., Mr. Sliippcn's wealth and character soon obtained for him 
 such position and influence that, July 9, 1695, he was elected Speaker 
 of the Assembly. In 1696, he was chosen as one of the Provincial 
 Council, by popular vote, and was returned every year at the fresh 
 elections. In 1700, he was called to the board by Penn, and in the 
 autumn was permitted to absent himself, in order to sit in the Assem- 
 bly, on condition that he would resume his duties as Councillor after 
 the adjournment. About this time, he wns a Justice for Philadel- 
 phia County ; and being a large property holder, was named in the 
 Commission of Property. 
 
 William Penn named him in the Charter, Oct. 25, 1701, as the 
 first Mayor of the City of Philadelphia. Penn, as is well known, 
 gave the most anxious consideration to his selection of officers to 
 govern the new city. In Mr. Shippen, he found a man of courage.

 energy, integrity, intelligence, and sagacity, whose unspotted moral 
 character was ample earnest to the citizens, that the executive powers 
 would be exercised with tlie strictest justice and fidelity, whose active 
 business habits and bravery, equally assured them of the chief magis- 
 trate's resolution and promptness, whilst his high social position gave 
 dignity to the office, which he held for two years. He was the first 
 named in the Commission issued by the Proprietary, October 28, 
 1701, to the new Provincial Council, no longer an elective body. 
 They were to consult and assist the Proprietary, if in the Colony, and 
 his Deputy or Lieutenant-Governor, for the time being; and in case 
 of the latter's decease or incapacity, to exercise all the powers, juris- 
 diction, and authority conferred upon Penn by the Charter of King 
 Charles. They were to hold office during the Proprietary's pleasure, 
 and tlieir number could be increased by the Lieutenant-Governor. 
 Edward Sliippen was President of the Council 1 702-4, and on the death 
 of Penn's Deputy, Hamilton, of New Jersey, May, 1703, became the 
 head of the government, and continued such until the arrival of John 
 Evans, in December. At this time, he was also a Provincial Judge. 
 In 1706, he contracted his third marriage, which led to his separa- 
 tion from the Society of Friends, and retired from public life, except 
 that he continued to advise upon public affairs, as we find from 
 Penn's letter, 24th 5 mo., 1712. His house long bore the name of 
 " the Governor's House." "It was built in the early rise of the city, 
 received then the name of 'Shippey's Great House,' while Shippen 
 himself was proverbially distinguished for three great things ; ' the 
 biggest person, the biggest house, and the biggest coach.' " His coun- 
 try-house stood near the present S. W. corner of South and Broad 
 streets, and his property stretched along the south side of the old 
 city, from Front street to about 16th, Shippen (now Bainbridge) St. 
 being opened through it, and Juniper St., for several squares below 
 South, being called Shippen's Lane. Edward Shippen d. Phila., Oct.

 an eminent preacher of the denomination, and often visited 
 the other colonies in its service. In 1706, he was chosen 
 Mayor, but, on refusing, was fined £20 by the Council. 
 By his marriage, he received a large property, part of which 
 was the large house in Second street, afterwards sold to 
 James Logan, and later pulled down to afford the site, in 
 part, of the old Bank of Pennsylvania. After his wife's 
 death, he returned to England, and subsequently reconveyed 
 this estate, by his will, to her family.

 He entered the army at the age of eighteen, but had resigned 
 before his marriage. In 1763, he was in business in Philadelj^hia, 
 but with little success. In 1765, he removed to Maryland, where a 
 kinsman had estates, and became manager over some of them until the 
 Revolution. His sympathies were entirely anti-revolutionary, and as 
 soon as possible, he raised a corps of Loyalists, and soon after re- 
 ceived a commission as Lieut. Col., commanding the Maryland Loyal- 
 ists. He was with Simcoe, 1779-80; and in garrison at Pensacola, 
 1781. In 1783, the remnant of the corps embarked at New York 
 for Nova Scotia; they were shipwrecked, and nearly all perished. 
 He and his family had sailed for England, and settled at Chelsea. 
 In 1785, he visited Maryland, disposed of his estate there, and went 
 to Jamaica. During the war with France, he took part in the expe- 
 dition against St. Domingo, and was made Inspector-General of the

 Sept. 29, 1781. He was brought up as a merchant, by James Logan, 
 and was in business with him in 1732, as Logan & Shippen ; afterwards, 
 1749, with Thomas Lawrence, in the fur trade, as Shippen & Lawrence. 
 He was elected to, and served for many years in the City Council, and 
 in 1744 was Mayor of the city. In 1749 and 1750, he was Judge of 
 the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. In May, 1752, he removed 
 to Lancaster, where he was appointed Protlionotary, and continued 
 sneh until 1778. He had large transactions as paymaster for sup- 
 plies for the British and Provincial forces, when commanded by Gen. 
 Forbes, Gen. Stanwix and Col. Bouquet, and managed them with so 
 much integrity as to receive public thanks, 1760. He was a county 
 judge under both the Provincial and State governments. In early 
 life, he laid out Shippensburg, with so much judgment as to its situa- 
 tion and advantages for settlers, that it speedily grew to be a flourish- 
 ing village. In 1746-8, he was one of the founders of "the College 
 of New Jersey," and was one of its first Board of Trustees, a position 
 which he resigned in 1767. He was also one of the subscribers to 
 the Philadelphia Academy, afterwards the University of Pennsylva- 
 nia. He was, amongst other things, a fine French scholar, a rare 
 species of knowledge in those days. His public duties as a citizen, 
 Mr. Shippen discharged in a manner eminently praiseworthy and 
 honorable. In his private intercourse, he showed himself virtuous 
 and upright. To prevent his children's love for each other being 
 impaired by anything concerning the distribution of his property 
 after his death, he submitted his proposed will to his two sons, who, 
 to their honor be it said, fearing that he had not given their sister 
 quite enough, suggested an addition to her portion. A codicil, pre- 
 pared by his son Edward, increasing her share, was accordingly 
 signed. Mr. Shippen's advanced age prevented his taking any very 
 active part, except as a committee-man, during the Revolution. His 
 iudgment was fixed as to the rights of the Colonies, and his senti- 
 ments were warmly expressed In behalf of his country, not only 
 during that eventful contest, but throughout that long period of 
 oppression and resistance which preceded the final struggle. He did 
 not live to hear of the surrender of Cornwallis, but his faith in the 
 success of the righteous cause seems to have never once wavered. He

 Edward Shippen, also Councillor, son of Edward and Sarah (nee 
 Plumley) Shippen, last named, b. Phila., Feb. 16, 1728-9, bapt. 1st 
 Presbyterian Church, March 1, 1728-9. Of his early education, we 
 have no authentic account. He entered upon the study of tiie law in 
 the office of Tench Francis, Esq., then the most leai'ned and promi- 
 nent counsel at the Philadelphia bar. During his clerkship, he took 
 the opportunity to perfect himself not only in the principles of the 
 profession, but also in its more practical details. We have his own 
 authority for the statement that, at some time during the period, he 
 prepared, with his own hand, the first "common recovery" ever 
 suffered in Pennsylvania. 
 
 The opportunities, however, of acquiring a thorough legal educa- 
 tion were, at that time, sadly deficient on this side of the ocean. 
 Books were scarce, preceptors few, and the courts far from affording 
 that variety and wealth of legal learning that might be gleaned from 
 the lips of those who presided over the time-honored tribunals in 
 Westminster Hall. It was determined, therefore, that Mr. Shippen 
 should be regularly entered at one of the London Inns of Court, and 
 that he should, by pursuing the course of studies then in vogue, regu- 
 larly qualify himself for admission to practice as a barrister. With 
 this intent, he sailed from Philadelphia in the early part of tlie year 
 1749, and, after experiencing a dangerous and long-continued storm 
 off the Banks of Newfoundland, arrived safely in the Downs on the 
 twenty-seventh day out from the Capes of Delaware, landed at Deal, 
 and took coach for London. Here he spent some little time in re- 
 
Shippen. (55) 
 
 cruiting, after the fatigues of the voyage, in "seeing all the curiosi- 
 ties of that populous city," and in paying, as in duty bound, a visit 
 to Mr. Richard Penn, by whom he was cordially and hospitably 
 received. In a short time, he was duly entered as a student at the 
 Middle Temple, where, if we are to believe his letters to his father, 
 he kept his terras with exemplary regularity. In the pursuit of those 
 legal studies, he remained until the spring of the year 1750, when, 
 having completed his "six vacation exercises, three candle-light exer- 
 cises and two new iron exercises," according to time-honored custom, 
 he was duly called to the bar, took the necessary oaths, was admitted 
 to practice as a barrister, and on May 14, set sail on his return to 
 Pennsylvania. 
 
 Here his talents and learning, his family connections and the pres- 
 tige of his London education, soon secured for him a fair share of 
 business. We find that the very next autumn, on Sept. 25, he 
 was admitted to practice at the bar of the Supreme Court, on pro- 
 ducing his certificate from the Treasurer of the Middle Tem])le, and 
 we have some reason to suppose that he was shortly afterwards con- 
 cerned in some cases of note. On Nov. 22, 1752, Mr. Siiippen 
 was appointed the Judge of the Admiralty Court in Philadeljihia, a 
 position of some importance and of considerable pecuniary value. 
 His court was held over the Market House in Third street, at quite a 
 different place from the other courts of the Province, as though 
 broadly to mark the contrast of jurisdiction and practice existing 
 between them. Meantime, his reputation for ability and prudence 
 seems to have been steadily on the increase. In April, 1756, he was, 
 with some others, specially deputed by the Governor to pacify a great 
 assembly of tumultuous people at Lancaster, who had gatiiered in 
 consequence of some recent Indian massacres in the western part of 
 the state, a mission in which he seems to have been completely suc- 
 cessful. Judge Shippen was, like almost all Americans of that day, 
 not a little proud and jealous of the reputation of the provincial 
 troops. " The New England men," he writes to his fatiicr, in 
 March, 1756, "are now esteemed the champions of the American 
 world." " Bradstreet," he writes again in Sept., 1758, referring to the 
 recent capture of Fort Frontenac, " has done bravely. Saying Pro- 
 vincials are worthless troops, won't go down now, * * * when 
 
 * * * an American, with about three thousand Provincials, 
 has marched into the very heart of an enemy's country and taken a 
 fortress which is the very key to all the French settlements on the 
 
(56) Shippen. 
 
 Lakes." But, notwitlistanding this feeling of natural pride, his 
 mind, like that of many others whose dispositions were peaceable, or 
 •who held offices of trust or profit under the Crown, was extremely 
 averse to the forcible resistance of the rights claimed by tlie Mother 
 Country over the colonies. He would, for example, have had Brad- 
 dock's insolent requisitions for supplies promptly met by the Assem- 
 bly, for, said he, " it is a vain thing to contend with a general at the 
 head of an army, thougli he should act an arbitrary part, especially 
 as, in all probability, he will be supported in everything at home." 
 An additional motive for entertaining tliese sentiments was afforded 
 him by his appointment, Sept. 24, 1765, as Prothonotary of the 
 Supreme Court, a position which does not seem to have interfered 
 with tlie performance of his judicial functions, and which certainly 
 did not prevent his attending to the details of a i-apidly-growing 
 practice. The next year came the news of the repeal of the Stamp 
 Act, a measure which afforded Judge Sliipjjen unbounded joy, as it 
 seemed to him to promise a peaceful solution of the troubles with the 
 Mother Country. 
 
 In 1770, Judge Shippen suffered a considerable loss of income 
 from Ills judicial position. His remuneration consisted exclusively 
 of the fees levied upon the various suitors, and was therefore, of 
 course, proportionately greater or smaller as the number of cases 
 brought before him increased or diminished. In this year, Jared 
 Ingersoll received the appointment of Commissioner of Appeals in 
 Admiralty, and accordingly, at once established a triljuna! which 
 seems to have drawn away much business from the regular Vice- 
 Admirilty Court. On Dee. 12 of the same year. Judge Shippen 
 was aj)jiointed a member of the Provincial Council, a position the 
 duties of which, as the minutes of that body will show, he faithfully 
 and punctually performed. 
 
 The breaking out of the Revolution was to Judge Shippen a mat- 
 ter of most serious moment. He was, of course, at once deprived of 
 all his offices under the Crown, while the anxieties of war and the 
 great financial and commercial depression of the country precluded 
 him, almost altogether, from sustaining himself by the practice of his 
 profession. He accordingly withdrew with his family to his country 
 seat, near the Falls of Schuylkill, and there remained an impassive 
 spectator of the great j)ublic events which were transpiring round 
 him. He looked forward with dread to the prospect of independ- 
 ence as most repugnant alike to his .sentiments and associations, and. 
 
Shippen. (57) 
 
 being mistrusted by the authorities of tiie state, was, by order of the 
 Supreme Executive Council, placed on his parol to give no assistance 
 or information to the enemy, and was bound, by recognizance, not to 
 dejxtrt further than a few miles from his home. When the British 
 took possession of Philadelphia, Mr. Shippen returned to his house 
 in town, and was on terms of intimacy with many of the British 
 officers. His daughters, particularly the youngest, were much ad- 
 mired and flattered, and, though their father refused to permit them 
 to attend the raeschianza, it is to be feared that this is to be attributed 
 to a just feeling of shame at the indelicacy of the costume in which 
 they were expected to ajjpear, rather than to any patriotic sentiment 
 prompting him to forbid his family to take part in the festivities of 
 an enemy. 
 
 When the war was at length over, Mr. Shippen found that his 
 means had been so seriously impaired that he entertained thoughts of 
 removing to Lancaster, in order to put some limit to the great expenses 
 of his family. This design was, however, frustrated by his being 
 called a second time to fill the judicial chair. Notwithstanding his sen- 
 timents during the Revolution, and his lack of interest in the patri- 
 otic cause, his talents and integrity were such as to command the 
 esteem, and insure the regard of the community in which he lived. 
 His appointment, therefore, on May 1, 1784, as President Judge 
 of the Common Pleas of Philadelphia county, met with universal 
 approbation; nor had the public any cause for disappointment at the 
 manner in which, for upwards of six years, he conducted himself in 
 that station ; and this was not the only mark of respect and confi- 
 dence conferred upon him. On Sept. 16 of the same year, he was 
 appointed one of the Judges of the High Court of Errors and Ap- 
 peals, an office which he continued to fill until the abolition of that 
 tribunal. On Oct. .3, 1785, he was, after a sharp contest, elected a 
 Justice for the Dock Ward in the city, and on the following day, 
 received from tiie Supreme Executive Council, an appointment as 
 President of the Quarter Sessions and General Jail Delivery. These 
 last two positions were, however, so irksome to him tiiat, after the 
 lapse of a little more than a year, he, on Nov. 20, 1786, requested 
 to be relieved from them both, which permission was accordingly 
 granted on Deo. 5. The satisfactory manner in which he discharged 
 the duties of his position in the Common Pleas, secured him, on Jan. 
 29, 1791, an appoiutment as one of the Associate Judges of the 
 Supreme Court, a position which he occupied until 1799, when, 
 
(58) Shippen. 
 
 Chief Justice McKean beiug elected Governor, lie was, by the latter, 
 appoiuted Chief Justice ia his room. This station he continued to 
 till until the close of the year 1805, when, finding that the infirmi- 
 ties of age were pressing upon him, he resigned, and on April 16, 
 1806, suddenly but quietly died. His death called for concerted 
 action on the part of the bar. They met accordingly, on the follow- 
 ing day, Jared Ingersoll in the chair, Hoi'ace Binney acting as Secre- 
 tary, and resolved to attend his funeral in a body. This took place 
 from his residence, on the west side of Fourth street, near Prune, 
 where he had lived for many years preceding his death. He was 
 buried in Christ Church burying ground, but without a stone or tablet 
 to mark the spot. 
 
 Of Chief Justice Sluppen's political sentiments, sufficient has per- 
 haps been said. That he was opposed to the separation from Eng- 
 land is, without doubt, true, and in this respect, he was resembled by 
 many others whose fortunes and families were in a position simikir to 
 his. It is, however, to be noted that history never pointed out any 
 act, on his part, amounting to downright disloyalty, and it is believed 
 that no scrutiny, however close, of his actions or correspondence will 
 avail to substantiate such a charge. As a lawyer. Chief Justice Ship- 
 pen may be certainly said to have been " patient, discriminating, and 
 just." It is to his pen that we owe the first law reports published in 
 Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, we have few, if any verbatim reports of 
 his opinions, and are able, therefore, to judge but imperfectly of their 
 merits. As far as can now be seen, his mind was of an eminently 
 practical cast. Not so well versed as his great successors, Cli. J J. 
 Tilghraan and Gibson, in the more abstruse learning of his profes- 
 sion, he far excelled them in his intimate acquaintance with Pennsyl- 
 vania practice and precedent, for a period extending over more than 
 half a century. " He was a man of large views," said C. J. Tilgh- 
 man, "and one for whom I always entertained a most affectionate 
 regard." " Everything that fell from that venerated man is entitled 
 to great respect," said Judge Duncan. He was, indeed, such a Judge 
 as the state wanted — a man of sound, practical common sense, of 
 great experience, some talents, and undoubted integrity. 
 
 Of the private character of C. J. Shippen, it is, at this late day, 
 difficult to speak intelligently. He was fond of literature outside 
 the realms of his profession, frequently alluding to the classics, in his 
 correspondence, especially the works of Virgil and Ovid. Ho was 
 interested in the prosperity of the University of Pennsylvania, and 
 
Shippen. (59) 
 
 was, at one time, a Trustee of that institution. As regards his man- 
 ners, we have no definite information. Those who knew liim and 
 met him face to face, have passed away, but tradition says that his 
 disposition was austere and unyielding. It should, however, be re- 
 membered, in this connection, that the very qualities which best fit a 
 man for a judge, are often those which are least calculated to inspire 
 popular affection or regard. (Sketch written by Lawrence Lewis, Jr.)

(78) Shippen. 
 
 partly on a mercantile adventure, but chiefly for the advantages to 
 be derived from foreign travel. He returned to Phila., Dec, 1761, 
 and was appointed, Jan. 2, 1762, Secretary to the Provincial Coun- 
 cil. After eleven years of strict attention to his duties, he repre- 
 sented to the Council that "£11 a year was by no means an ade- 
 quate satisfaction for his services." Later on, his health becoming 
 infirm, he removed, about 1773, to Kennett Square, Chester Co., 
 Penna., where he busied himself with rural pursuits. On Jan. 19, 
 1765, he joined the Am. Philos. Soc. His health continued feeble for 
 several years, but he remained Sec. of the Couucil until the Revolu- 
 tionary war. He removed to a place which he purchased in Chester 
 Co., and which, in honor of his mother, he called Plumley. He was 
 appointed Judge of Lancaster Court in 1789, and d. there, having 
 served his country and filled with honor many reputable stations, 
 esteemed by all who knew him as an eminently just and upright 
 man. To his services as a soldier, he added the accomplishments of 
 a scholar and of a man of taste, and was not destitute of some talent 
 in versification. He is said to have written the following lines, 
 which give us the names of the belles of his day : 
 
 LINES WRITTEN IN AN ASSEMBLY ROOM. 
 
 " In lovely White's most pleasing form, 
 What various graces meet! 
 How blest with every striking charm ! 
 How languishingly sweet ! 
 
 " With just such elegance and grace, 
 Fair, charming Swift appears ; 
 Thus Willing, whilst she awes, can please; 
 Thus Polly Franks endears. 
 
 "A female softness, manly sense, 
 And conduct free from art, 
 With every pleasing excellence, 
 In Inglis charm the heart. 
 
 " But see ! another fair advance. 
 With love commanding all ; 
 See ! happy in the sprightly dance, 
 Sweet, smiling, fair McCall. 
 
 " Each blessing which indulgent Heaven 
 On mortals can bestow, 
 To thee, enchanting maid, is given 
 Its masterpiece below. 
 
 " In Sally Coxe's form and face. 
 True index of her mind. 
 The most exact of human race 
 Not one defect can lind. 
 
Shippen. (79) 
 
 "Thy beauty every breast alarms, 
 And many a swain can prove 
 Tliat he who views your conquering charms, 
 Must soon submit to love. 
 
 "With either Chew such beauties dwell, 
 Such charms by each are shared. 
 No critic's judging eye can tell 
 Whicli merits most regard. 
 
 " 'Tis far beyond the painter's skill, 
 To set their charms to view ; 
 As far beyond the poet's quill 
 To give the praise that's due." 
 
 Mr. Shippen was also fond of the fine arts, and early noted Benja- 
 min West's genius, and, together with Mr. William Allen and other 
 friends, greatly aided him with means for pursuing his artistic studies 
 in Italy, for which West was grateful during life. Mr. Shippen m.

 at the age of eigiiteen, by his fatiier, Thomas Willing, a cousin of 
 whom, also named Thomas Willing, laid out AVilling's town, now 
 Wilmington, Del. Charles Willing settled in Phila. as a merchant, 
 and took charge of the house that his elder brotiier, Thomas, had 
 founded in 1726, — this Thomas returned to Eng. and d. there,— and 
 greatly enlarged its business ; he was much esteemed and respected 
 both as a merchant and magistrate. His successful operations and 
 excellent credit aided in early establishing with foreign countries a 
 high reputation for American commerce, and contributed to give to 
 the city of his adoption, that reputation for public imnor and private 
 wealth which it enjoyed at the opening of the Revolution, and which 
 was of such importance to the nation in its negotiations with France 
 and Holland, during the struggles of that contest. He was active in 
 establisliing the "Philadelphia Associators," in 1744, a subscriber to 
 the first Dancing Assembly, and one of the founders and first Trustees 
 of the Univ. of Penna., 1749-1754, also interested in Xt. Ch. He

 to Englaml, to his grandfather, Mr. Tliomas Williug, who placed him 
 at a school at Wells, Somersetshire. He afterwards went to London. 
 On May 19, 1749, he returned to Phila., and there "served his father 
 in his counting house, until his return from England, Oct., 1751." 
 Mr. Willing had given his father so much satisfaction, in the execu- 
 tion of his business during his absence, that he took him into part- 
 nership. When his father died, in 1754, he assumed the entire control 
 of his large concerns, and tiie ciiarge of the family. He associated 
 with himself, Robert Morris, the Financier of the Revolution, and, 
 Mr. Griswold says, that " to the great credit and well-known patriotism 
 of the house of Willing & Morris, the country owed its extrication from 
 those trying pecuniary embarrassments so familiar to the readers of 
 our Revolutionary history." Mr. Willing held many places of public 
 trust, amongst others that of Justice of the Supreme Court, 1761, 
 and was tlie last of those who had held commissions under the old 
 Constitution to act in office. As a judge, he was pure and intelligent, 
 added to which, .lie possessed an amenity of manner which rendered 
 him popular at the bar and attractive in society. " Mr. Willing," 
 says John Adams, " was the most sociable and agreeable man of all." 
 No doubt his judicial training had an influence on his course in Con- 
 gress. Schooled to discriminate between conflicting claims, in which 
 there was oftentimes much show of right on either side; accustomed 
 to apply the great principles of justice and equity so as to subserve 
 the best interests of society, even at the expense of a present apparent 
 hardship ; tliis u[)right magistrate made a conservative statesman, and 
 thus was slow to yield to impulses, which, though given by his own 
 party, were, or might be, as lie thought, hasty or premature. He was 
 one of those who early opposed the unconstitutional measures of 
 Great Britain, and his name heads the great list of merchants and 
 traders wlio signed the nou-iniportation resolutions of 1764. He was 
 President of tlie Provincial Congress which met in Phila., July 15, 
 1774, and a member of the Congress of 1775 and that of 1776. He 
 voted steadily and fearlessly against the Declaration of Independence, 
 not only because he " thought America, at that time, unequal to such 
 a conflict as must ensue, having neitiier arms, ammuniiion, or mili- 
 tary experience, but cliiefly because the Delegates from Pennsylvania 
 were not tlien autiiorized, by their instructions from the Assembly or 
 the voice of tiie people at large, to join in sucii a vote;" but gave his 
 best energies and his money to its support when adopted. He re- 
 mained in Philadelphia during its occupation by tiie British array,

 but refused to take the oath of" allegiance to George III when called 
 upon by Sir William Howe to do so, and when Congress chartered, 
 in 1781, the Bank of North America, with a view of enabling the 
 United States of America to carry on the war for independence, it 
 was made a part of the enactment, by that body, that Thomas Wil- 
 ling should be its President; and the Assembly of the State of 
 Penna. confirmed this feature of the Congressional enactment by a 
 vote of tliirty-eight to sixteen, March 26, 1782. Mr. Willing, dur- 
 ing his Presidency of the Rank of North America, administered it 
 with the most satisfactory results, its dividends being, for years, of a 
 magnitude previously unheard of in the history of banks; and the 
 bank still maintains its high reputation. This bank was the agent 
 by which Mr. Morris reclaimed the finances of the country from 
 the disorder caused by the Revolution, and of it Mr. Willing was 
 the head, both titular and real. Mr. Willing was taken from the 
 Presidency of the Bank of North America, to which he had been 
 unanimously re-elected at each annual election, to be placed in the 
 higher office of President of the Bank of the United States, which 
 he administered with the same ability, and when, in 1816, after a 
 long persecution by a political party, its charter ceased, and its affair 
 were wound up, it paid in gold, and gold was then at a high pre- 
 mium, $116 for each $100 of its capital. He was Trustee of the U. 
 of P. 1760-61, and its Treasurer 1766-^8, also one of the original 
 Trustees of the Academy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in 
 Phila. His enterprises in trade were of the largest and most success- 
 ful kind in that day. The following tribute to his memory, from the 
 pen of the Hon. Horace Binney, was placed upon a monument in 
 Christ Church burying ground, in which Mr. Willing, his wife, both 
 his parents, and many of his descendants, are interred : " This excel- 
 lent man, in all the relations of private life, and in various stations 
 of high public trust, deserved and acquired tiie devoted affection of 
 his family and friends, and the universal respect of his fellow citizens. 
 From 1754 to 1807, he successively held the offices of Secretary to 
 the Congress of Delegates at Albany, Mayor of the City of Phila- 
 delphia, her Representative in the General Assembly, President of the 
 Provincial Congress, Delegate to the Congress of the Confederation, 
 President of the first chartered bank in America, and President of the 
 first Bank of the United States. With these public duties he united 
 the business of an active, enterprising, and successful merchant, in 
 which pursuit, for sixty years, his life was rich in examples of the

 influence of probity, fidelity and perseverance, upon the stability of 
 commercial establishments, and upon that which was his distinguished 
 rewards upon earth, public consideration and esteem. His profound 
 adoration of the Great Supreme, and his deep sense of dependence on 
 His mercy, in life and in death, gave him, at the close of his pro- 
 tracted years, the hope of a superior one in heaven."

 m. Phila., Jan. 29, 1761, William Byrd, better known as the third 
 Col. Byrd of Westover, b. Westover, Sep. 6, 1729, son of William 
 the second Col. Byrd of Westover (the founder of Richmond) and 
 Maria Taylor, his second wife, and grandson of William the first Col. 
 Byrd of Westover and Mary Horsmanden his wife. William Byrd 
 was descended from an old family dating back to the Norman con- 
 quest. Hugo Le Brid m. Werburga, dau. and heiress of Roger Dom- 
 ville of the Palatinate of Cestria, and so acquired the estate of Brex- 
 ton, and thus down the various branches, the family comes down to 
 the arrival of the first William in the Colony of Virginia, changing 
 the name to Bird and Byrd finally. William Byrd had, like his 
 Father and Grand-Father, the advantage of an English education, 
 and was under the especial guardianship of his Aunt's husband, Col. 
 Francis Otway of the Horse Guards. At 19 he returned to take 
 possession as Master of Westover. He also was of the Council of 
 the Colony and of the General Court and " evinced great soundness 
 of judgment and undeviating attachment to justice." In the war of 
 1756, he served his country with fidelity and zeal as Col. of the 
 2d Va. Regiment. His amenity of manners was the just index of 
 his soul. His politeness and amiability were very great, and many 
 anecdotes are told as illustrations of them. He m., 1st, April 14, 
 1748, Elizabeth Hill Carter of Shirley, dau. of John Carter and

 AnneMumford. The night after the eldest son, William, was christened , 
 the Westover house was partially burned, owing to the carelessness of 
 the housekeeper. When the family assembled, it was remembered 
 that Charles and Edward Carter, Mrs. Byrd's brothers, were asleep 
 in the third story. Col. Byrd, after conducting his wife and child 
 safely to the lawn, returned, and at the risk of his own life, rushed 
 to the rescue of the youths, and they escaped before the roof fell in. 
 He was a most tender and affectionate Father, the constant companion 
 of his daughters, who were ever free to join him, unless they saw 
 him walking in his favorite buck eye paddock bareheaded, which was 
 a sign that he was at his devotions and not to be disturbed. He d. at 
 Westover, Jan 1, 1777.

 As the adopted son of his mother's sister, Mrs. Powel, he inherited 
 from her an entailed estate, and caused his name to be transposed, by 
 Act of Assembly, to John Hare Powel. He was Secretary of Legation 
 under Col. Pinckney, near the Court of St. James, 1809-11, where 
 he was remembered, writes Greville, " as the handsomest man ever 
 seen." In 1812, he was commissioned full Col. on Genl. Scott's staff, 
 and served as Inspector General of the district between the Hudson 
 and the Rappahannock until the end of the war. A member of the 
 Penna. Senate 1827-30, in 1827 he was leader of the Working Man's 
 party. A Democrat in the old and solid sense, he was never an adhe- 
 rent of Andrew Jackson. An ardent lover of Agriculture, he gave 
 to it, by an enlightened and liberal propagandism, the first serious 
 impulse towards growth in his own State, and to this end, his time, 
 money, influence and example were unsparingly used. Of marked 
 and powerful personality, he called forth many ardent friendships,

 WiLiAM Shippen, son of Joseph and Abigail {nee Grosse) Ship- 
 pen, p. (58), generally known as Dr. William Shippen, the Elder, 
 h. Phila., Oct. 1, 1712. We are told that he applied himself, early 
 in life, to the study of medicine, for which he had a remarkable genius, 
 possessing that kind of instinctive knowledge of diseases which cannot 
 be acquired from books. He seems to have inherited his father's eager 
 desire to explore the domains of physical science, and no doubt that 
 the Junto had its influence in shaping his course in life. An eminent 
 physician in tiiis city says : "It is most probable that he acquired 
 those ideas of the importance of the study (practical anatomy) which 
 induced him to impress upon his son the propriety of making him- 
 self master of the science, in order to aid the establishment of those 
 lectures he afterwards so ably delivered." There is no record, so far 
 as I know, as to when and where he received his degree of Doctor of 
 Medicine, but he speedily obtained a large and lucrative practice, 
 
(136) Shippen. 
 
 which he maintained through a long and respected life. He was 
 especially liberal towards the poor, and, it is said, not only gave his 
 professional aid and medicines without charge, but oftentimes assisted 
 them by donations from his purse. He was very successful in his 
 practice, but was so far from thinking that medicine was much ad- 
 vanced towards perfection, that it is said, when he was congratulated 
 by some one on the number of cures he effected and tlie few patients 
 he lost, his reply was : " My friend ! Nature does a great deal, and 
 the grave covers up our mistakes." Conscious of the deficiencies for 
 medical education in America, and animated by a patriotic desire to 
 remedy them, Dr. Shippen trained his son for that profession, sent 
 him to Europe, where he had every possible opportunity for obtain- 
 ing a knowledge of the various branches, and on his return (May, 
 1762), encouraged him to commence a series of lectures on anatomy, 
 in one of the large rooms of the State House, and thus to inaugurate 
 the first medical school in America. Dr. Shippen was by no means 
 given to politics, but the outlook for the Americans, at the close of 
 the year 1778, was very dark and dreary. It was at this moment 
 that he was called upon to take part in the councils of the nation. 
 On Nov. 20, 1778, he was elected to the Continental Congress by the 
 Assembly of Pennsylvania by a vote of 27. At tiie end of the year, 
 he was re-elected, Nov. 13, 1779. His advanced years and his pro- 
 fessional duties would have furnished ample excuse to any less patri- 
 otic citizen for declining the thankless position, but an examination 
 of the Journals of Congress shows us that Dr. Shippen was always 
 steadily at his post, and that his votes and conduct were those of an 
 honest, intelligent, high-minded, patriotic gentleman, who thought 
 only of his country's welfare. The Junto, in which Dr. Shippen took 
 an earnest part, was more or less the origin of the American Philo- 
 sophical Society, of which he was Vice-President, 1768, and for many 
 years after. He was first physician to the Pennsylvania Hospital, 
 1753-1778. He was one of the founders of the Second Presbyterian 
 Church, 1742, and a member of it for nearly sixty years. He was- 
 so very abstemious that he never tasted wine or any spirituous liquor 
 until during his last illness. He possessed the powerful frame and 
 vigorous health for which his race was noted. He rode on horseback 
 from Germantown to Philadelphia, in the coldest weather, without an 
 overcoat, and but a short time before his death, took a walk of six 
 miles. His mode of living was simple. His temper was so serene 
 that tradition says it was never ruffled. His benevolence was without

 bowed his reverend head to tlie will of his merciful Creator, regretted 
 and lamented, and was buried in the graveyard of the Church to 
 which lie had been so useful. He ra. Sept. 19, 1735, Susannah, dau.

James Logan. 
 William Logan. 
 
 Every uotice of James Logan has boguii with the statement that 
 he was descended from that Logan of Restalrig, in Scotland, whose 
 estates were confiscated for connection with tlie Gowrie conspiracy 
 against King James VI. It is said that one of his sons was grand- 
 father of James Logan. This cannot be disproved, and it may be 
 supposed that those who have written on the subject had before them 
 evidence sufficient to show that he was of the same family as the 
 attainted baron, if not a direct descendant, but the claim of direct 
 descent lacks what would now be the best evidence to establish it, 
 viz., that James Logan ever said so himself. He has left no note of 
 it. He sealed his letters with the arms of the Logans of Oxford- 
 shire, England, at the same time disclaiming any right to them. He 
 says in a letter to Cornal George Logan, whom he addresses not as 
 " cousin," but as " esteemed friend," dated 9, 9, 1713 : " N. Griffitts 
 informing me that thou desirest ye Coat of Arms belonging to our 
 name, I here give thee in Wax what I have on mv Seal, but believe 
 neither of us have any very good right to it being what the English 
 Logans of Oxfordshire carry, but those of Scotland I have been told 
 have a very different one (and yet a good one) wh. I have never seen, 
 however having occasion for a seal & finding only this in my way I 
 made use of it, nor do I fear a citation to ye Heralds Office for my 
 presumption." There is in the possession of the family "an Histor- 
 ical Account of the Ancient and Honourable Family of Logan of 
 Restalrig drawn up by Mr. George Logan one of the Ministers 
 of Edinburg at the desire of his honoured and learned friend 
 William Logan M. D. of Bristol," chiefly taken from Nisbet's 
 Heraldry, but this makes no claim of relationship. In the sev- 
 enteenth century, the name was quite common in Scotland, there 
 being the Logans of Cowstoun, of Coitfield, &c., &c., and some five 
 
2 Logan. 
 
 James Logans graduating at Eilinburgli between 1600 and 1700. It 
 had an honorable antiquity, first appearing about the year 1 1 80 with one 
 John de Logan, who married a daugiiter of Tankard, a Flemish set- 
 tler in Lanark, tiie ciiarter from Taid<ard's son for land in frank- 
 marriage with his sister being mentioned in Chalmer's Caledonia ; 
 and from that time the Logans maintained a certain prominence 
 among the lesser barons, now and then rising to fame and power. 
 The data concerning them were very carefully collected by the late 
 J. Francis Fisher in 1829 from the books then in the Philadelphia 
 Library, and embodied in a MS. unfortunately too long to be printed 
 here. Our own later investigations have added little to what he 
 wrote. The Logans of Resialrig were the most important branch of 
 the family. The barony of Restalrig, or Lestarrick, was originally 
 the property of the Leitlis, and Douglas's Baronage re|)eats the asser- 
 tion that by marriage with a daughter of that family it was obtained 
 by a Logan in the reign of King Robert Bruce. Sir Robert Logan 
 accompanied "good Sir James Douglas" in his journey with the 
 heart of Bruce, and with him was killed by the Saracens in Spain, 
 after which the family bore as a coat of arms three passion-nails 
 piercing a man's heart In 1398, these appear on the seal of Sir 
 Robert Logan of Restalrig, who married a daughter of King Robert 
 II., and became Admiral of Scotland. According to Mr. Fisher, it 
 was the son of the Admiral, another Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig, 
 who married Geilles, or Giles, daughter of the lord of Somerville. 
 About a century later, another Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig mar- 
 ried Margaret, daughter of the fourth Lord Seton ; again, a Sir 
 Robert appears about 1560 as marrying Agnes, daughter of Patrick, 
 Lord Gray, she afterwards becoming the wife of Alexander, fifth 
 Lord Home; and a Logan of Restalrig, in the sixteenth century, 
 married Elizabeth, daughter of David Maegill of Cranston-riddel, 
 King's Advocate. The conspirator Logan married a daughter of Sir 
 Patrit'k Home of Fastcastle in Berwickshire, in that way acquiring 
 that great fortress, whither, it is thought, the Gowrie conspirators 
 intended to convey the King. This Logan has been called by one of 
 his contemporaries, " ane godles, drunkin, and deboshit man;" and 
 Sir Walter Scott has shown that his having squandered away a large 
 estate, at once explains his engaging in a plot whose most probable 
 object was to sell the Scotch King a prisoner to Queen Elizabeth, and 
 also rebuts the idea that the evidence against him was manufactured 
 by the Crown to enrich itself. In 1596, he sold his estate of Nether 
 
Logan. 3 
 
 Grogiir to Andrew Logan of Coalfield, or Coitfield, and in 1G04, his 
 son mortgaged the barony of Restalrig to Lord Balmerinocli. The 
 reader will find an account of the Gowrie conspiracy in Scott's or 
 Burton's History of Scotland, both authors agreeing that the letters 
 on which Logan was convicted, alone clear up the purpose of the 
 conspirators. G. P. R. James has worked the affair into a novel, 
 " The King's Plot," based upon the idea that a king who was both 
 humane and cowardly, plotted a murder, and exposed his own life to 
 «ntrap his victim ! On the 5th of August, 1600, as the King was 
 on a hunting-])arty, and but slightly armed, he was induced by 
 Alexander Ruthven, Master of Gowrie, to accomjiany him to Gowrie 
 Castle, to examine a prisoner. A few of the King's retinue followed, 
 and were entertained by the Earl of Gowrie, while his brother, the 
 Master, led the King through the Castle to a small room, where was 
 waiting the Earl's chamberlain in full armor. Here the Master drew 
 a dagger, and, pulling away a curtain, disclosed a portrait of his 
 father, who had been put to death for high treason during the King's 
 minority. The King attempting to reason with him, he declared that 
 he did not wish to take his life, but to extort a promise, and then 
 left the room for a few moments. He returned with a cord, and 
 attempted to bind the King, who grappled M'ith him, and, the man- 
 at-arms not aiding the Master, dragged him to the window, and cried 
 for help. The King's friends in the court-yard, whom the Earl had 
 tried to send ofF by telling them that the King had gone, forced their 
 way up stairs, followed by the Earl and his retainers; and the Master 
 and the Earl were both killed. The King lived to ascend the throne 
 of England as James I. At this encounter, Logan of Restalrig was 
 not present; and he died in 1601, unsuspected of any connection with 
 the aifair. In 1608, George Sprot, a notary, declared Logan's guilt, 
 and produced letters which had been in the possession of one Laird 
 Bour, at this time deceased, who had acted as Logan's confidential 
 messenger. They were five in number, in Logan's handwriting, all 
 but one signed "Restalrig," three having no other address than 
 " Right Honorable," one addressed to Earl Gowrie, and one to Bour. 
 They were chiefly appointing meetings to consult on an enterprise as 
 to which they cautioned profound secresy. The letters were to be 
 returned, so that the writer could see that they were burned. He 
 speaks of the peril to their lives if the affair should go wrong; but, 
 further than this, his guilt is to be made out from these sentences 
 only : " My Lord of Gowrie and some others are upon the resolution 
 
4 Logan. 
 
 you kuow for the revenge of that cause, whereto I will accord in case 
 ye bear a ])art. * * Ye kuow the Kiug's hunting will be shortly, 
 and then shall be best time. * * I think there is none of a noble 
 heart or carries a stomach worth a penny but they would be content 
 and glad to see an contented revenge of Greysteil's death. [The late 
 Earl Gowrie had been nicknamed " Gray steel."] * * Since I 
 have taken on hand to enterprise with my Lord of Gowrie, * * 
 we have set down the platt already." He also ai-ranges for the Earl 
 of Gowrie with the Earl's brother and tlie "Right Honorable" gen- 
 tleman and "only another man," in which words it has been supposed 
 that he meant the King, to come by sea to Fastcastle, where they 
 should be safe. (See Tytler's History.) The King being carried off, 
 not killed, it may have ^leen the design of the conspirators to rule 
 the kingdom with him a puppet under their control, or, as Fast- 
 castle was but twenty miles from the English border, to transfer him 
 to the officers of Queen Elizabeth. The letters are published in the 
 Earl of Cromarty's Account of the Conspiracy. Sprot was executed 
 for misprision, or concealment, of treason, adhering to his confessions 
 to the last. On the assembling of Parliament in 1609, Robert 
 Logan, eldest son and heir of the deceased Laird of Restalrig, was 
 summoned to contradict his father's treason, but did not appear. 
 That the accused himself might be present, the remains of Restalrig 
 were exhumed and brought before the Parliament at Edinburgh. 
 The King's Advocate produced the letters and tlie deposition of 
 Sprot witli tiie depositions of seven persons, among them some one 
 employed by Logan as "pedagogue to his bairns," in proof of the 
 handwriting. The Estates found Logan guilty, and gave sentence 
 that his name, memory, and dignity be abolished, his arms cancelled, 
 so that his posterity siiall be excluded from any offices, honors, lands, 
 tenements, &c., within the kingdom forever, and all said goods, lands, 
 &c., belonging to him since the conspiring of said crime, be forfeited 
 to the King. What became of the " bairns," we cannot show. The 
 oldest son, we see by the proceedings in Parliament, was Robert. 
 Nisbet's Heraldry says that there were two sons, George and John, 
 both of whom went abroad, and that John, the younger of them, 
 returned, and his grandson, George Logau, was the representative of 
 the family. So Mr. Fisher gives three sons, Robert, George, and 
 John ; but there seems to have been an Archibald, from the follow- 
 ing, among the Inquisitiones de Tutela : "December 31, 1645, 
 Archibald Logane commorans in Restalrig frater germauus Joannis 
 
Lor/an. 5 
 
 Logaiie olim portionarii de Restalrig fratris (sic) avi Sophise, Isobellae, 
 et Jeannse Loganes filiariim Georgii Logane de Buriioastell, pro- 
 pinquor agnatus id est coiisanguineus ex parte patris prsedictarum 
 Sophise, Isobellic, et Jeannse Logane." Here it also appears that 
 Burncastle was tiie seat of descendants of the attainted Restalrig. 
 In 1670, John Logan was served heir of George Logan of Burn- 
 castle, his father; and in 1C91, George Logan of Burncastle was 
 served heir of John Logan of Burncastle, his father, and of George 
 Logan of Burncastle, his grandfather. The collaterals of the name 
 seem, in 1671, to have about died out, for, on August 26th, 1671, 
 Edward Maxwell of Hills was ascertained to be " propiuquor agna- 
 tus id est consanguineus ex parte patris (or rather next of kin on the 
 father's side over twenty-five years of age, to be guardian) Georgii 
 Logane apparentis de Burncastle, sui nepotis avunculi, filii quondam 
 Joannis Logane de Burncastle." Mr. Fisher had not seen the 
 Abbreviatio Inquisitionnm when he wrote. He says that Patrick 
 Logan, father of James Logan the Councillor, was son of one of the 
 attainted Restalrig's three sons, and that he was born at Ormiston, in 
 East Lothian, about 1630. We have these facts concerning him. 
 He was educated at one of the Scotch universities, became a clergy- 
 man, and was chaplain to Lord Belhaveu; all of which would indi- 
 cate respectable parentage. As to his wife, the information is very 
 satisfactory. James Logan says: "My mother was Isabel Hume, 
 daughter of James Hume, a younger brother of the house of St. 
 Leonards, in the south of Scotland. He was manager of the estate 
 of the Earl of Murray, who owed but never paid him £1500 ster- 
 ling, though the said earl lodged for some years in his house in the 
 shire of Fife. My grandmother, before she married, was Bethia 
 Dundas, sister of the Laird of Dundas of Didiston, about eight miles 
 west of Edinburgh, a fine seat. And the Earl of Murray assisted 
 my grandfather in carrying off my grandmother; she was nearly 
 related to the Earl of Panmure," &c. Douglas's Peerage supplements 
 this when it names among the daughters and co-heiresses of William 
 Maule of Glaster an Lsabel who m. 1st James Dundas of Dudingston, 
 and 2nd James Hamilton of Parkley ; said William Maule being 
 great-uncle of the first Earl of Panmure. James Logan's father, 
 Rev. Patrick Logan, became a Quaker, removed to Ireland, and 
 taught school. He returned to Scotland when James II. landed in 
 Ireland, and afterwards lived in Bristol, England. His widow mar- 
 a-ied "out of meeting" about 1702. The eldest son, William, was a 
 
6 Logan. 
 
 physician in Bristol. He died witiiont issue, leaving considerable 
 property to his nepliew, William Logan, the second Councillor of 
 this family. 
 
 James Logan, President of the Provincial Council of Pennsyl- 
 vania, was born at Lurgan, a town in county Armagh, Ireland, Octo- 
 ber 20th, 1674. He early siiowed a taste for letters, and acquired 
 proficiency in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, before he was thirteen. 
 Nevertheless, he was sent to London to be apprenticed to a linen- 
 draper, but, the war which culminated in the Battle of the Boyne 
 having commenced, he was recalled to accompany his parents in their 
 flight to Ediul)urgii. They afterwards settled in Bristol, England, 
 and he resumed his studies, assisting his father in his school, and 
 profiting by his instruction. He applied himself to mathematics, and 
 made himself familiar with several of the modern languages. He 
 engaged in mercantile business in 1698, and had in prospect a suc- 
 cessful career on the wharves of Bristol, then the second city of Eng- 
 land, when William Penn invited him to go with him as secretary 
 to the New World. They sailed from Cowes on September 9th, 
 1699, in the " Canterbury." On the way over, the ship was attacked 
 by pirates, and Logan took part in the defence of it, while Penn, 
 the stauncher Quaker — perhaps because a Quaker by conversion, 
 while Logan was only a Quaker by birth — retired down below. 
 The pirates were beaten off, after which Penn expostulated with 
 Logan for engaging in battle. Logan rejjlied that if Penn had dis- 
 approved, Penn, being Logan's master, should have ordered him 
 down. They arrived in Piiiladelphia in the beginning of December, 
 1699. Penn made the "slate-roof house " on Second street his resi- 
 dence, and Logan lived with him, continuing there, too, for some 
 time after Penn's return to England. Penn appointed him Secretary 
 of the Council, and on his departure, after a stay of two years, con- 
 stituted him one of the Commissioners of Property, to make titles to 
 land, and also Receiver-General, to collect quit-rents, look after fines 
 and perquisites, discharge debts, pay officers for whose salary the 
 Assembly had not yet provided, and remit balances. From this 
 time, Logan was the business agent of the Penn family, and the 
 champion of their interests in the Colony. He was allowed a vote 
 in the Council April 21st, 1702, and after Governor Evans' arrival, 
 was again called, and formally qualified February 8th, 1703—4. The 
 first Proprietary had quarrelled with the poorer Quakers about the 
 
Logan. 7 
 
 quit-rents, and with the officers of the Crown on various subjects, 
 and so left tlie seeds of trouble for those who were to carry on his 
 government; and these were characters ill-suitetl for their delicate 
 position. Of tlie three deputy-governors who succeeded Slii[)pen and 
 the Council, Evans was a youth of twenty-six when sent over, and 
 developed into a libertine before he was removed ; Gookin was a 
 deranged old man, who on one occasion kicked the judges at New- 
 castle; Keith was a man of expensive habits, heir-apparent to a baro- 
 netcy, but to no estate. This made him anxious to propitiate the 
 money-voting powers, to the prejudice, at last, of the Penn family; 
 and this is why young Ben Franklin found no letter of credit to 
 make purchases in London, after his distinguished friend had sent 
 him thither witii the promise of one. Logan, too, who was recog- 
 nized as the Proprietary's confidential clerk, was a j'oung man with 
 little experience in a conuting-house, much less a government office. 
 And, as all men have their faults, there were certain characteristics of 
 Logan which detracted from both his ability as a ruler and the 
 popularity of his cause. An aristocrat, lie was strongly prejudiced 
 against those who were not his personal friends. As faithful a ser- 
 vant as a family ever had, he saw little besides the Penn interests. 
 Besides, his manner was haughty ; his language, very intemperate, 
 judging from his letters, as well as the Assembly's complaints of his 
 insolence; and his disposition, uncompromising; while the financial 
 embarrassment of his master, the dependence of the government upon 
 the people's good will for its support, and the character of the set- 
 tlers, who formed both a feudal tenantry and a free nation — Quaker 
 converts drawn from the farming classes, with little money and 
 thorough disdain of rank and dignity, and adventurers and Church- 
 men holding office under the Crown, — all this required that the stew- 
 ard be popular, and his aim be to conciliate. With Governor Evans's 
 first interview with the Assembly, began a quarrel between that body 
 and himself, in which Logan became more and more embroiled. 
 Evans's want of tact, and the disgust afterwards excited by his dis- 
 orderly life, enabled the faction of David Lloyd to thwart all his 
 projects. The separation of the legislature from that of the Lower 
 Counties on the Delaware, became permanent. Remonstrances and 
 adjournments engrossed the term of service. The colony remained 
 without any laws providing for a judiciary. In October, 1705, 
 Logan visited the Indians at Conestogoe, to re-assure them of the 
 peaceable intentions of the English, and in the numerous embassies

 which lie undertook in succeeding years, he seems to have gained 
 their affection and esteem. It has been justly said that he ranked 
 next to William Peun, tiieir "Brother Onas," in their regard. Logan, 
 the Indian chief, was named after him. 
 
 As the contest in the government continued, resentment increased 
 against the Secretai-y. He was pronounced by resolution of the 
 Assembly, an enemy of the Governor and of the government, and 
 finally, February 26th, 1706-7, articles of impeachment were exhi- 
 bited, charging him with illegally inserting in the Governor's com- 
 mission certain clauses contrary to the Royal Charter, with imposition 
 on the locators of laud, with concealing the objections specified by 
 the Lord's Commissioners of Trade and Plantations to certain laws, 
 their consent to them being necessary, and with illegally holding two 
 incompatible offices, the Surveyor-Generalship (vacated by Penning- 
 ton's death, in 1702) and the Secretaryship. Logan's answer is filled 
 with personal abuse, and, whatever be its merits as a defence, was 
 calculated to widen the breach. The Governor decided that he had 
 no authority to try impeachments. A new Lieutenant-Governor, 
 Colonel Charles Gookin, at last superseding Evans, the Assembly 
 presented a remonstrance against Logan's continuance in the Council. 
 Logan replied in an exposure of Lloyd. An investigating committee 
 reported to the House that liOgan had refused to bring proofs. He 
 was then preparing to embark for England, but on the 25th of 
 November, the House ordered the Sheriff of Philadelphia county to 
 attach his body, and detain him in the county jail until he should 
 make satisfaction for his reflections on sundry members. The Sheriff 
 refused to obey so illegal a mandate. It was feared that some of 
 the delegates themselves would make the arrest; so the Governor was 
 obliged to interpose his protection, and Logan sailed a few days after- 
 wards. The next election sent an entirely new set of men to the 
 Assembly, but Logan remained abroad more than a year after. His 
 voyage home took ten weeks. He landed in Philadelphia March 
 22d, 1711-12. The province having been mortgaged to Gouldney 
 and others, with power to sell lands, Logan was appointed one of the 
 attorneys to make sales. He was also appointed by William Penn's 
 will a trustee of all his lands and hereditaments in America, in 
 trust, after payment of his debts, to convey to his children ; and 
 Hannah Peun constituted him one of her attorneys. He relinquished 
 the Secretaryship of the land office in 1718, being actively engaged in 
 trade, as well as in j)ublic business.

 After the accession of George I., Gookin, quarrelling with the 
 Quakers, charged Logan with being disaffected to His Majesty, but 
 declined to state his grounds. Penn certainly felt a warm attach- 
 ment to the Pretender's father, but Logan's sentiments seem to be 
 expressed in a letter to Hannah Penn, urging that Gookin be removed 
 and his place filled by Colonel Keith, who, he says, may labor under 
 the suspicion of being a Jacobite, and so fail to be commissioned : 
 "But as these distinctions cannot atfect us, who want nothing but 
 Peace under the Crown of England, and have no i)ower either to 
 advance or retard any Interest, all our views, or rather wishes, are to 
 have a person over us who may truly pursue the Interest of the 
 Country." Keith was appointed in 1717. At tliis juncture, a really 
 able man, of high character, liberal views, and tact in dealing with 
 men, with large discretionary powers confided to him by the Proprie- 
 taries, and having his support assured him, indepeudent of the fac- 
 tions in control of the Assembly, would have been, as Proprietary 
 deputy, an incalculable blessing to the Colony. Keith, perhaps, was 
 lacking in principle, yet such were his qualifications that we are 
 inclined to think his being in control was Pennsylvania's great chance 
 for efficient government. He was a man of good education and rhe- 
 torical ability, of experience in colonial government — having been 
 Surveyor-General of the Customs in Xorth America, afterwards hav- 
 ing visite<l Philadelphia, and conversed with the chief citizens on the 
 needs of the Province — and of pleasing address, universally polite, 
 with the right word for everybody ; so that himself and his projects 
 became popular. He obtained what his predecessors had failed to 
 obtain — a proper salary for the Lieutenant-Governor, a militia laW) 
 and a Court of Chancery. That he saw the defects in the govern- 
 ment, is clear from the clause in his first message, that he hoped 
 the Assembly would empower him "to introduce a better economy 
 and more frugal management in the collection of taxes, which were 
 then squandered by the officers appointed to assess and collect them." 
 That he was enterprising, his various journeys on Indian affairs, even 
 to other colonies, attest. That he was not absolutely servile to the 
 majority of the House, there was at least one instance, when he 
 rejected their bill for naturalizing foreigners, because it made requi- 
 site a justice's certificate as to their religious faith and the value of 
 their property. Many laws which seem dictated by the best interests 
 of the Colony, were passed in his time, as, for instance, prohibiting 
 the use of molas.ses or other substances except grain or hops in the 
 
10 Logan. 
 
 manufacture of beer, so as to cause a greater consumption of the agri- 
 cultural produce ; also providing for the inspection of flour, whereby 
 the quality of that article was raised, and the exports increased; also 
 imposing a duty of 5/. on every convicted felon imported as a servant, 
 the importer to give security for his good behavior for one year ; also 
 reducing the rate of interest from eight to six per cent. ; also the 
 Feme Sole Traders act. In iiis time, the first paper money in Penn- 
 sylvania was issued. As to various measures, Logan differed in 
 opinion with tlie Governor; but the latter showed no disposition to 
 give up, on tiiat account, what he deemed beneficial to the colony. 
 The Provincial Council was not a body recognized in the charter of 
 1701, and he had no intention of allowing it to obstruct legislation. 
 Logan and his friends felt themselves slighted, and in the increasing 
 popularity of the Tjieutenant-Governor, saw themselves reduced to 
 ciphers in the government, and thought they saw the Proprietary 
 interests tottering. The history of the administration has been 
 sketched from different points of view, in Gordon's and in Proud 's 
 History of Pennsylvania, in Franklin's Historical Review, and in 
 J. Francis Fisher's article in the Memoirs of the Historical Society 
 of Pennsylvania. On one occasion, Logan complained that sufficient 
 opportunity was not allowed the Council to give their views on the 
 bills before them, and left the meeting, followed by a majority of 
 those present. Keith, in presence of those remaining, then passed the 
 bills. Charging Logan with an unauthorized entry upon his min- 
 utes, as Secretary of the Council, Keith removed Logan from that 
 office. Logan was Mayor of Philadelphia in 1723, and at the close 
 of his term, went abroad to consult with Hannah Penn, and from 
 her obtained instructions to Keith to re-instate Logan as Secretary, 
 and, Franklin says, " to be ruled by him." The Lieutenant-Gov- 
 ernor was to obey the Council in his messages and speeches to the 
 Assembly, and in his legislative acts. Highly indignant, and feeling 
 safe in his tenure of office — because, at tiiat time, no branch of the 
 family could confer on a new Lieutenant-Governor an undisputed 
 commission — Keith refused to be trammelled. He sent Hannah 
 Penn a reply, showing her how the powers of the Proprietary to 
 control the discretion of his Deputy had, years before, been brought 
 to the attention of the public; and the Council, including Logan, 
 William Penn, and Judge Roger Mompesson, the chief lawyer of 
 that day in Pennsylvania, had unanimously decided that a clause in 
 the Lieutenant-Governor's commission, foi'bidding him to pass any 
 
Logan. 11 
 
 law without the consent of the Proprietary, was void, the charter 
 vesting iegishition in tiie acting Governor and Assembly ; if, there- 
 fore, the Proprietary could not exercise control directly, he could not 
 do so by means of a Council not recognized by the fun()amental law. 
 Keith also contended tiiat he had a right to appoint for his Council a 
 clerk in whom he had confidence. Logan had been found making 
 improper entries in the minutes, and he declined to re-ajjjioint him. 
 More than this, Keith, to make a party for himself, vioiate<l his con- 
 fidential relations with the Penus, by communicating to the Assem- 
 bly both the Instructions and his reasons for disregarding them. He 
 received the thanks of the House, David Lloyd appearing as his 
 strong supporter ; and there followed a pamphlet, or broadside, war 
 concerning the Assembly's powers, in the course of which Logan 
 wrote the Antidote to Lloyd's Vindication of the Legislative Power ; 
 meanwhile, the Penns abroad resolved upon Keith's removal. For a 
 time, Keith seemed able to have wrested the government from them ; 
 but as rumors reached the Colony of the a|)pointment of a successor, 
 the Assembly deserted him. Patrick Gordon arrived in August, 
 1726, with a commission from Springett Penn, in which the widow 
 concurred, and wliich tiie Crown confirmed. A better man than 
 Keith would have opposed, thenceforth, a set of people who had so little 
 appreciated him, but he excited contempt by splenetic efforts to 
 embarrass the administration of his successor. He was chosen a 
 member of the Assembly, and canvassed for the Speakership; but 
 David Lloyd, either from jealousy or from his general intractibility — 
 for his political objects were best served by encouragement to Keith — 
 had quarrelled with him. And Lloyd allowed himself to be the candi- 
 date of Keith's enemies, and was elected. Sir William getting only three 
 votes. After much talkabout the abolition of all Proprietary govern- 
 ments, and boldly declaring it his object to force the Penn family to sell 
 the Government to the Crown, whence he expected to be re- appointed, 
 Keith suddenly left the Colony, to avoid his private creditors. He 
 passed the rest of his life abroad, attempting to earn a support by 
 writing a history of the Colonies, being chosen a member of Parlia- 
 ment in 1735, and dying in the Old Bailey in 1749. He has left no 
 descendants in Pennsylvania. (See account of the Palmer family.) 
 
 Gordon's administration was a tranquil one. On issuing a new 
 Commission of the Peace for Philadelphia county, he made Logan 
 one of the Justices. He also restored him to the Secretaryship of 
 the Council. In 1731, David Lloyd died, leaving the office of Chief 
 
12 Lof/an. 
 
 Justice of the Supreme Court vacaut. It was designed to confer it 
 upon Isaac Norris, but, he declining, tlie Council consented unani- 
 mously to the appointment of James Logan. He was Chief Justice 
 from the opening of court in September of that year, until August 
 9th, 1739. Some of his charges to the juries were collected in one 
 volume, and printed in England in 1736. Lieutenant-Governor 
 Gordon's death, in August, 1736, vested the executive franchises in 
 the Provincial Council, of which James Logan, as senior member, 
 became President. His chief magistracy, which ended two years 
 later, upon the arrival of Lieutenant-Governor George Thomas, wit- 
 nessed a border war with Maryland, arising from disputed boundary, 
 but amounting to a very few deadly encounters. It ended on receipt 
 of an order from the King requiring the authorities of the respective 
 colonies to preserve the peace, and not to grant lands until the royal 
 pleasure should be further known. Logan refused the Lieutenant- 
 Governorship, and Thomas's appointment was in response to his urgent 
 letters to be relieved. Down to this time, the industry of Logan 
 made him the fiictotum of the government, and demands the admira- 
 tion of posterity. An amateur in every act, and having himself, and 
 afterwards a family, to su|)port, and his master's interests to hus- 
 band, he assumed every burden. For many years he was clerk, mer- 
 chant, real-estate agent, law-maker, farmer, judge. 
 
 Amid all this, he found relaxation in reading, and most of his 
 business letters in his letter-book at the Historical Society, contain 
 an order for one or more valuable books. He was a close ob- 
 server of the piienomena of nature, and contributed papers to the 
 Philos. Transactions on Lightning, on Davis's Quadrant, on the appar- 
 ent increased magnitude of the sun and moon near tiie horizon, also 
 " Experiraenta et Meletemata circa Plantarum Generationeni," &c. 
 In the sixty-fourth year of his age, he retired from public employ- 
 ment, passing the remainder of his days at his seat, some five hundred 
 acres near Germantown, to which he gave the name of "Stenton," 
 and where he raised the mansion-house the day iiis son James was 
 born. There, although weakened in health, he pursued his studies, 
 shedding lustre on the Colony as a scholar and a scientist. His only 
 participation in politics thereafter, was to write, in 1740, a letter to 
 the Yearly Meeting of Friends, urging them, in view of the war 
 between Great Britain and Spain, not to procure the election of mem- 
 bers of their religious society to the Assembly ; which letter was not 
 allowed to be read. (See sketch of Robert Strettell, the Councillor.)

 The following writings of" Logan were published in Europe: "Cano- 
 num pro Inveniendis Refraetiouuni, Ludg. Bat. 1730," " Epistola ad 
 Joannem Albertum Fabriciura, Amst. 1740," " Demonstrationes de 
 Radiorum Lucis, &c., Ludg. Bat. 1741." Richard Hockley writes, 
 December 5tii, 1743: "Mr. Logan has given the Corporation his lot 
 opposite the Governor's garden, & books to the value of 1000/., & 
 intends a building 60 ft. front to ])ut tiie books in for the use of 
 the city. The old gentleman with Tom Godfrey are very busy in 
 inspecting into a comet that has appeared for 3 weeks past, & say 
 before it disappears we shall see it iu great splendour, & the publick 
 expect their opinion of it in print from some hints given." Godfrey 
 had been Logan's servant, and developed talents for the arts and 
 sciences, and was the inventor of the sextant before Hadley, who 
 first constructed one. The library thus placed at the service of the 
 public was the beginning of the Loganian Library. The building 
 was constructed, but the deed for it was afterwards cancelled by 
 Logan, preparatory to putting the trust in different terms. This he 
 did not live to do. While Chief Justice, li« translated Cicero's De 
 Senectute. The translation was printed by Benjamin Franklin, in 
 1744, and has been much admired. Logan also rendered Cato's Dis- 
 tichs into English verse, printed also at Philadelphia; and he left 
 MS. translations from Greek authors. Blackwood's Magazine for 
 January, 1825, says: "We look upon him as altogether an extraor- 
 dinary man." He was the first-named trustee in the deed of 1749, 
 by which Whitfield's meeting-house was given for an Academy, 
 which, in time, became the College of Philadelphia, and afterwards 
 the University of Pennsylvania.

 William Logan, b. 5mo., 14, 1718, son of James Logan, 
 the President of the Council, and himself a Councillor, was sent, 
 when twelve years old, to his uncle. Dr. William Logan, in Bristol, 
 England. His father's letter of advice to him, on his leaving 
 home, is printed in Hazard's Register. Watson's Annals tells us 
 that he finished his education in the mother country. ' After his 
 return, he engaged in business with his father, and also was made 
 attorney with him, for some of the Peim family. He was a mer- 
 chant until the death of his father, when he became owner of 
 Stenton, and devoted himself more particularly to agriculture. He 
 was a Common Councilman of the City from 1743 until February, 
 1776, when the meetings of the Corporation were discontinued. On 
 May 29th, 1747, when James Logan sent word that he no longer 
 considered himself a member of the Governor's Council, his son 
 William was called to the Board, and a])i)eared and qualified. He 
 was a stricter Quaker than his father, au.d had a goodly amount of 
 independence, even voting against the Governor's candidate for mem- 
 ber of Assembly, wlien the object of the other party was to change 
 the form of government. In the troublesome period which followed 
 Braddock's defeat, he was very active, not in preparing for war, but, 
 consistent with his principles, in trying to prevent it. In the middle 
 of the winter, he went with the Governor to Carlisle, to see what 
 attitude the Indians of that neighborhood would assume. On April

 6tli, 1756, lis outrages were constantly reported, a proposition to 
 ileclare an offensive war against the Dolawares, was made in Council, 
 the Provincial Commissioners agreeing to offer a reward for scalps. 
 Ijogan voted " no." Four days later, some members of the Society 
 of Friends addressed the Council against declaring war; and there 
 were others besides Quakers in the Colony who suspected that some 
 special grievance bad caused the red man to yield to the solicitations 
 of the French. Logan moved that summons be sent for a full 
 meeting of the Council that evening. This was done. Strettell and 
 otiier Quaker members attended in the evening, but agreed to the 
 declaration of war, and Logan's solitary dissent was entered on the 
 minutes. His cousin, Israel Pemberton, and others, about this time, 
 formed themselves into the Peace A.ssociation, and offered to go or 
 send at their own expense to persuade the Delawares to lay down 
 their arms. Some friendly Indians became the ambassadors. It hap- 
 pened that, at the time Pennsylvania was declaring war, Sir William 
 Johnson, in New York, was effecting a negotiation with the Dela- 
 wares, and he wrote to General Shirley that the step taken by Penn- 
 sylvania without asking the concurrence of the other colonies, or even 
 notice to tiiem, was a very unaccountable proceeding. Logan attended 
 the conference at Easton, where peace was proclaimed. He could 
 always be depended upon to accompany the Lieutenant-Governor, or 
 take a journey alone, wlien Indian affairs required it. He received 
 Indians cordially at his house, giving the aged a settlement on his 
 land, and educating the young with his own means. He was in favor 
 of force to protect the Indians who were threatened by the Paxton 
 boys in 1764. He was rjuite a traveller, and has left a journal of 
 his visit to Georgia. He was at home during that portion of the 
 Revolutionary war which he lived to see, attending the meetings of 
 the Provincial Council long after the battle of Lexington. He took 
 no active |)art in the struggle. William Logan, with liis brother and 
 Mrs. Smith, deeded the library property, August 28th, 1754, to Israel 
 Pemberton, Jr., William Allen, Richard Petens, and Benjamin Frank- 
 lin, to be with William Logan and his brother, .lames Logan, the 
 Trustees or managers; and William Logan acted as librarian until 
 his death. Furthermore, by his will, he added to the collection the 
 books Ijeqiieathed to him by his uncle, Dr. Logan, about thirteen 
 hundred volumes, providing, however, that such as were duplicates 
 of those already in the Loganian library, should be given to the

 George Logan, b. at Stenton Sep. 9, 1 753, son of William Logan 
 the Councillor, was the last Pennsylvania Quaker who attained emi- 
 nence in public life, and perhaps the only strict member of the So- 
 ciety of Friends who ever sat in the United States Senate. As a boy, 
 he was sent to school in Worcester, England. Intended for a mer- 
 cantile career, like the rest of the family, he was placed in the counting- 
 house of John Reynolds in Philadelphia; but afterwards he deter- 
 mined to study medicine, and went to Edinburgh. There he gradu- 
 ated in 1779, his thesis being " De Venenis." He then crossed to the 
 Continent, and proceeded to Paris, where he remained some time, 
 receiving much politeness from Dr. Franklin, in whose company he 
 doubtless imbibed democratic principles, which we can not say found 
 any place in his grandfather. He returned to America in the Fall of 
 1780. He found Stenton plantation so nearly laid waste by the 
 Rev^olutionary war as to require his undivided attention. He was 
 obliged to forego a professional career; he bought his brother's and 
 sister's shares, and, retiring to the countr)'-, devoted himself to agri- 
 culture. He became a member of the American Philosophical Society, 
 publishing in 1797 Experiments in Gypsum and a paper on the Rota- 
 tion of Crops. He was chosen a member of the Penna. Assembly in 
 1785, and re-elected the next three years. He was an intimate friend 
 of Thomas Jefferson and his political disciple. Espousing the princi- 
 ples of the Democratic, as distinguished from the Federal, party, his 
 name was placed upon its ticket for members of the State Legislature 
 in 1795, and he was again elected to that body. He was re-elected the 
 following year. In June, 1798, he undertook on his own responsi- 
 bility a voyage to France to endeavor to prevent war between that 
 republic and our own. Disembarking at Hamburgh, he met with 
 Lafayette, who enabled him to make his way to Paris, where he arrived 
 August 7th. Upon inquiry of the U. S. Consul-Geueral, he was in- 
 formed that the Commissioners sent out by President Adams had left 
 without accomplishing the object of their visit, and all negotiation was 
 at an end; further, an embargo had been laid on all American ship- 
 ping in the ports, and many of our seamen were confined as prisoners. 
 He presented to Tallyrand a letter of introduction from Jefferson ; but 
 obtained no satisfaction from that wily diplomat. Through the kind- 
 ness of M. Schimmelpennick, the Swiss Minister to France (see Sketch 
 of Deborah Logan in " Worthy Women of our First Century "), Dr. 
 Logan was introduced to Citizen Merlin, one of the Directory, whom 
 he visited frequently on the footing of private friendship. In conver- 
 
22 Logan. 
 
 sation, Merlin assured liim that France would not disgrace her own 
 Revolution by attempting to destroy the United States. As to the 
 violation of our flag, it was simply that France might avail herself of 
 the resources of neutrals, as England had been allowed to do : but it 
 was contemplated to make the laws more favorable to neutrals. Logan's 
 endeavors preserved the property of several persons from confiscation, 
 and procured freedom for a considerable number of seamen. Finally, 
 the embargo was removed. Wood, in his History of Adams's Ad- 
 ministration, says that when Dr. Logan returned to the United States 
 bearing despatches from the Consul-General giving the good news to 
 the Secretary of State, instead of being cordially received, he found 
 that duplicate despatches had been conveyed by other hands, and was 
 informed that those which he brought were of no importance. The 
 friends of President Adams even whispered " treason." Dr. Logan 
 was re-elected to the Pennsylvania Legislature that year. At the 
 meeting of Congress in December, " the whole Federal faction broke 
 loose upon liim," and in 1799, a law was passed, known as the "Lo- 
 gan Act," forbidding any private citizen to take part in diplomacy, or 
 attempt to treat with foreign nations. George Logan became United 
 States Senator in December, 1801, being appointed to fill the va- 
 cancy caused by the resignation of Peter Muhlenberg. He served 
 out the term, which expired March, 1807. In 1810, Logan again 
 went abroad on an errand of peace. The troubles between Great 
 Britain and his country were fast bringing on war. The act of 1799 
 was still on the statute-books; but it was the Quaker's duty to leave 
 nothing untried to avert the shedding of blood. He endeavored to 
 show English statesmen the reasonableness of the American theory of 
 sailors' rights: but his efforts were unavailing; and the war of 1812 
 followed, to desolate America, and to add nothing to the power or 
 prestige of England. He d. at Stenton Apr. 9, 1821. He m. Sep.

 GENEALOGICAL PORTION FURNISHED BY J. PARKER NORRIS, ESQ. 
 
 Thomas Norris, or Norrice, the first of the family of wliom any 
 record is preserved, was a merchant in London, and joined tlie Society of 
 Friends soon after the rise of that sect. He emigrated, about the year 
 1678, with his wife and family, to the island of Jamaica, and perished in 
 the great earthquake which destroyed the town of Port Royal on the 7th 
 of June, 1(392. He married, first, Mary Moore, who died June 3, 
 1685 ; and afterwards Sarah , who died October 19, 1696, with- 
 out issue. By liis first wife he had issue (the surname is given as 
 Norrice in the Records of the Southwark Friends in London, from

 Isaac Norris, said to have been the ninth child of Thomas Norris, 
 and founder of the family in Pennsylvania, was born in the city of 
 London, July 26, 1671, and was about seven years old when the 
 family removed to Jamaica. In 1690, his father sent him to Pennsyl- 
 vania to view the country preparatory to the family settling there. He 
 returned to Jamaica, to learn that his father had perished in the earth- 
 quake. In 1693, he came back to Philadelphia with a fortune scarcely 
 more than £100, and entered into business, rising soon to be one of the 
 Colony's wealthiest merchants. What the trade of Pennsylvania 
 amounted to in 1707, we learn from his letter to William Penn, dated 
 London, 2 mo. 3d : "I presume that the Province consumes annually 
 of the produce and merchandise of England to the value of £14,000 
 or £15,000 sterling, & this is imported directly from England & the 
 other plantations, chiefly Virginia, Maryland, Barbadoes, Jamaica, 
 New England & New York. Tlie direct returns are chiefly tobacco, 
 furs, and skins. 'Tis reasonable to presume that upon a peace or ad- 
 vance of those commodities in price, the direct return will increase con- 
 siderably, of which there already appears some prospect, there being 
 now in England four vessels, two at London, two at Whitehaven, 
 which loaded at Philadelphia and brought at least seven or eight hun- 
 dred hhds. of tobacco, besides twenty-five or thirty tons of skins & 
 furs, and I have advice that there are four vessels more likely or 
 intending to come this summer that may bring eight hundred or a 
 thousand hhds. more." At this time, Norris had been staying 
 for over a year in England, where he assisted William Penn in 
 arranging matters with the Fords, getting Penn out of jail. Norris 
 was hospitably entertained by his wife's relations, the Lloyds of Dolo- 
 bran. He returned to Philadelphia in August, 1708. In the follow- 
 ing February he was called to a seat in the Governor's Council, and 
 from that time until his death was in active public life. Having pre- 
 viously served five years in the Assembly, he was in 1710 again 
 elected to that body, and was re-elected eight times in the next ten 
 years. In 1712 he was Speaker. His landed wealth about this time 
 shows his success in business. He and William Trent bought, in 1 704, 
 
Xorris. 43 
 
 William Penn Jr.'s manor of AVilliarastadt, on the Schuylkill, com- 
 prising 7480 acres, for which they paid 850/., Pa. cur. In January, 
 1712, Norris bought out Trent for 500/. The manor was in due time 
 called Norriton, and included the site of the present borough of Xor- 
 ristown. Prior to February, 1712, he had 632 acres in the Northern 
 Liberties, and in that montli laid out 453/. 10s. in adding 192 acres to 
 them. The next year he bouglit of Hamilton and Falconer 6000 
 acres, the unlocated first purchase of Charles Marshall, paying 550/. 
 for this, and locating the 42 acres of " liberty land " appurtenant 
 thereto alongside his other lots. He at this time resided in the city, 
 where, in addition to other property, he owned the "Slate-roof 
 Hoase," celebrated as the residence of Penn during his second visit 
 to Pennsylvania, and which Norris bought in 1709 for 900/. Pa. cur., 
 the lot fronting 57 J feet on the east side of Second street, below Chest- 
 nut, by 269 feet deep along Norris alley. He possessed the luxury of 
 a coach, and, Quaker although he was, emblazoned a coat-of-arms 
 upon it. In his leisure hours he was fond of reading, and was famil- 
 iar with several languages. 
 
 He was appointed a Justice for Philadelphia County in 1717. At 
 the organization of the High Court of Chancery, being one of the old- 
 est Councillors, he was made a Master to sit with the Lieutenant- 
 Governor in hearing cases. He was a second time Speaker of the 
 Assembly, and in 1724 was Mayor of the City. At the death of David 
 Lloyd, there being few lawyers in the Colony, the Governor and 
 Council unanimously agreed to appoint Isaac Norris as Chief Justice of 
 the Supreme Court and Jeremiah Langhorne and Thomas Graeme, two 
 other laymen, as the other Justices ; but Norris declined and remained 
 in the County Court. For many years he was one of the chief repre- 
 sentatives of the Proprietaries, being attorney to sell lands under the 
 Gould ney mortgage, trustee under William Penn's will, attorney for 
 Hannah Penn, &c. He built a dwelling-house at Fair Hill on his 
 estate in the Northern Liberties, and removed there about 1718. He 
 died June 4, 1735, being taken with apoplexy while attending the 
 Friends' meeting in Germantown, whence he was removed to James 
 Logan's residence at Stenton. He m. Mch. 7, 1694, Mary Lloyd,

 was educated at the Academy at Tlmnder Hill, Chester Co., 
 taught by Rev. Francis Alison, and he afterwards was tutor 
 of the languages in the Academy of Philadelphia. He be- 
 came in due time master of the Friends' Public School in the 
 city. An active man among Friends, he attended the con- 
 ference with the Indians at Easton in 1757, and was em- 
 ployed by the Peace Association and by the Delaware Chief 
 Tedyiiscung to take minutes of the speeclies. The Indians, 
 being dissatisfied with the official minutes taken by Secretary 
 Peters, asked to have those by Thomson read. Thomson's, 
 they pronounced fair and true ; and on account of this they 
 formally adopted him into the tribe under an Indian name 
 which signified " The man-who-tells-the-truth." His ex- 
 perience led him to publish "An Inquiry into the causes of 
 the Alienation of the Delaware and Shawnee Indians," Lon- 
 don, 1759. Afterwards he became a merchant, and was for 
 some time concerned in the Batsto Furnace. Taking part 
 in the public agitation against the Stamp Act, he was a 
 signer of the non-importation agreement of 1765; and lead- 
 ing in the demonstrations at Philadelphia in support of the 
 people of Boston after the passage of the famous " Boston 
 Port Bill," he was clerk to the Provincial Congress of Penn- 
 sylvania which met July 15, 1774. On September 5, 1774, 
 he was sent for by the President of the first Continental 
 Congress, and informed that he had been made Secretary of 
 that august body. In this capacity he served every Congress, 
 throughout tlie whole period of the Revolutionary War and 
 the Confederation. He resigned in July, 1789. Settling at 
 Harriton, in the latter year he began collecting materials for 
 a History of the Revolution, but subsequently decided to 
 destroy what he had done, being unwilling, he said, to blast 
 the reputation of certain families rising into repute by de- 
 lineating the character of their ancestors. Having bought at 
 auction a copy of the Septuagint, he applied himself to 
 Greek, and wrote a translation of that version, which he 
 published, together with a translation of the New Testament, 
 in 1804. He also compiled from his own translations a 
 " Harmony of the Four Gospels." He d. August 16, 1824.

 Isaac Norris, son of the Councillor, b. in Phila. Oct. 3, 1701, see 
 Penna. Mag. of Hist. &ct.. Vol. I, p. 449, was in mercantile business 
 until 1743. Prior to his father's death, he resided in the " Slate-roof 
 House," afterwards at Fair Hill. In 1727, he was chosen a Common 
 Councilman of the City, and three years later, an Alderman. He first 
 entered the Assembly in October, 1734, as a member for Philadelphia 
 Co., and at once his standing as a merchant made him authority on 
 matters of trade. An inquiry had been made by the Lords Commis- 
 sioners of Trade and Plantations as to what encouragement was neces- 
 sary to make the Colonies furnish naval stores and other commodities 
 not produced in England. The subject was exciting much attention in 
 the Mother Country, it being feared that other industries would grow 
 up in the Colonies, and the fabrics of which England would always 
 produce more than she used, would lose an important market. Norris 
 was appointed chairman of the committee to draft the reply. That 
 
Norris. 49 
 
 valuable statement of Pennsylvania's resources is to be found in 
 ""Votes of Assembly." It declared that hemp, j)ig-iron, and bar-iron, 
 being staples generally purchased with money by the subjects of Great 
 Britain from the Xortheru kingdoms, might, on a bounty being given 
 by the home government, be had from some parts of this and other 
 ■colonies in exchange for the manufactures and products of tlie Mother 
 Country. 
 
 In 1739, four years after his father's death, the younger Norris 
 comes to the front as the leader of the Quaker party. Rather more 
 of a Quaker than his father, much more of a Quaker than James 
 Logan, he is interesting as a statesman who endeavored to keep the 
 policy of a state consistent with Quaker principles. In his day the 
 crucial circumstances arose for carrying out theories as to the unlaw- 
 fulness of war, which it was a different thing to profess when the sect 
 ■was only a few individuals in the great nation of England. It was to 
 be seen what Friends in control of a state would do in case of invasion. 
 In England they occasionally suffered legal penalties; in America they 
 would have to anticipate a conquering army depriving them of the 
 fruits of their toil, their nationality, and their chartered liberties. The 
 •case did not really present itself to the earlier settlers of New Jersey 
 and Pennsylvania. Those colonies were too small either to tempt in- 
 vasion, or to be looked to for recruits ; and a little presence of mind on 
 such occasions as Gov. Evans's scare was all that was called for. But 
 in 1739 war was breaking out with the yet mighty kingdom of Spain, 
 from whose American possessions an armament could be fitted out 
 against the territory with which Raleigh and Gilbert had enriched the 
 British Crown. Indeed it was expected that France, then possessor of 
 Canada, would ally herself with Spain, and, thus flanked, the British 
 colonies must bear a bitter struggle, while their population and natural 
 wealth were now so considerable that their conquest by either of their 
 neighbors would be sufficient fruit of the war. Under these circum- 
 stances, the Assembly of Pennsylvania, with Norris a member, met in 
 October, 1739. The Governor suggested that they take measures for 
 the defence of the province. He also laid before them a communica- 
 tion from the Lords Commissioners of Trade and Plantations asking 
 for information as to the rates of gold and silver coin and value of 
 gold and silver per oz. in 1700, 1710, 1720, and 1730, and the pro- 
 visions of the acts for issuing bills of credit from 1700 down, the 
 amounts named in them, and the amount outstanding. The statement 
 sent in answer was prepared by a committee of which Thomas Leech 
 
 D 
 
50 Norris. 
 
 was the first named, and Isaac Norris, the second. This work over, the 
 House sent a message on the subject of defence, contending for the 
 rights of the Quakers to obey their conscientious scruples against war. 
 At the same time, it was said, persons of other sects who held no such 
 views were equally entitled to liberty of conscience. Of such there 
 were many, and they could arm, the Governor by the charter to Pena 
 being authorized, and no act of Assembly having restrained him, to 
 levy, muster, and train all sorts of men, and to make war, and act as 
 a captain-general. But Gov. Thomas wished them to vote money, 
 and to enact a law relating to military service. This they would not 
 do; they would not even pass a bill on the subject when the Quakers 
 were exempted from its provisions. The Governor replied that sharing 
 in the expense had been agreed to in Pennsylvania when, in 1710, a 
 sum was granted to Queen Anne for the reduction of Canada, and was 
 always done by persons of their religious persuasion in Britain. Norris 
 was on the committee to draft the rejoinder. It ably states the Quaker 
 argument against the lawfulness of war to Christian men, and recalls 
 the fact that the money voted to Queen Anne was accompanied by an 
 explanation that their principles forbade war, but commanded them to 
 pay tribute and yield obedience to the power God had set over them 
 in all things so far as their religious persuasions would permit. The 
 paper further declares an unwillingness to place such instruments of 
 power as a militia and the money for fortifications in the hands of the 
 Governor and his friends. This of course had nothing to do with the 
 religious principle; at the same time it was cunningly added, and 
 gained for those who wrote it support from the democracy. In the 
 course of time, the non-Quaker population organized seven companies of 
 soldiers, but in these a large number of indentured servants undertook 
 to enlist. Many Quaker masters were thus injured. The Assembly 
 took up the matter, and addressed the Governor ; but the runaways 
 had taken the oath, and a large portion had received the King's sub- 
 sistence for several weeks, and the Governor declined to dismiss them. 
 Finally, on the 9th of August, the Assembly yielded to the importu- 
 nities for money, and voted 3000/. to Thomas Griffitts, Edward Brad- 
 ley, John Stamper, Isaac Norris, and Thomas Leech, "for the use of 
 King George II.," provided, however, that no warrant for said sum 
 should issue from the Speaker until all the servants enlisted should be 
 returned to their masters free of all charges. A remonstrance to the 
 King was ordered to be drawn up, Norris being upon the committee 
 to draft it. At the next Assembly, Norris again member, a commit- 
 
Norris. 51 
 
 tee reported the number of servants thus eloigned as 262, and oora- 
 pensation was made to the masters. 
 
 Tlie various disputes between the Governor and the Quakers, 
 or "Norris i>arty," as tiie stricter Friends came to be called, 
 brought about contests for office as bitter as in modern times. The 
 re-election of Norris to the Assembly in 1741 could not be pre- 
 vented ; and the Quakers had some vantage ground with Norris and 
 his brother-in-law Giiffitts and uncle Preston, as three of the Alder- 
 men of the city. But the Corporation was too important a political 
 factor to be allowed to feel his influence. The adverse party mustered 
 a majority to elect four new Aldermen and five new Couucilmen who 
 would further the Governor's plans ; and the prominence of the Lloyd 
 connection, and even the equal footing of the Quakers in the Board, 
 was destroyed forever. It was not so easy to defeat Norris at a popu- 
 lar election. In 1742, after a session in which he had been head of 
 nearly every committee, and in which he had performed lasting ser- 
 vices in superintending the completion of portions of the State House, 
 and in purchasing a site and devising plans for a Lazaretto, the 
 wealthy Recorder of the city, Mr. Allen (see Hamilton), contended 
 for his seat iu the House. The German settlers had invariably voted 
 with the Quakers, and it was charged that the " Norris party " had 
 been in possession of the polls, crowded out their opponents, and 
 elected their candidate with the aid of unnaturalized voters. But 
 if the Governor's friends cried "fraud," they were now guilty 
 of " bulldozing." On election day of that year, a party of sailors, 
 strong enougii in numbers to make havoc in the little city, marched 
 up from the wharves, applied their clubs, and, wounding several, 
 drove the disciples of peace from the State House. In the hubbub 
 that followed, Allen is reported to have said " They had as good a 
 right to be there as the unnaturalized Dutchmen ; " he took no ste[)s to 
 preserve the peace, and his supposed complicity lost him many votes. 
 Such violence brought a reaction in public feeling ; and Norris was 
 returned. A fresh controversy arose from this "Riot of 1742," the 
 new Assembly desiring the Governor to bring the officers of the City 
 Corporation to trial before the Supreme Court, and the Corporation 
 refusing, after which a resolution was passed censuring the officers in 
 question for neglect of duty. The withholding of the Governor's 
 salary was the effective weapon of the Assembly; and in time induced 
 that officer to attempt a conciliatory course. Certain bills which had 
 been insisted on, he finally assented to, and the money- voting power 
 granted him his means of subsistence. Gordon in his History says 
 
52 Norrk. 
 
 that the triumph of the Assembly was complete : they had taken no 
 step of a military character, nor made any gift of money inconsistent 
 with their principles. 
 
 In 1745, the Governor appointed Norris, Kinsey, and Lawrence 
 commissioners to represent Pennsylvania at the conference with the 
 Indians at Albany. Norris has left a diary of his journey, privately 
 printed by one of his brother's descendants in 1867. The conference 
 was of little importance to the English ; but in 1755 Norris was again 
 sent to Albany as one of the commissioners from Pennsylvania to treat 
 with the Indians. He and his colleagues at this time effected the pur- 
 chase of several million acres, comprising the Southwestern portion of 
 Pennsylvania. 
 
 Ou the death of John Kinsey, in 1751, Isaac Norris was elected 
 Speaker of the Assembly. It was in that year that the old State 
 House bell was ordered from England, Norris directing the inscription, 
 which turned out to be prophetic, to be placed around it. The bell 
 was cracked by a stroke from the clapper in 1752, was recast with the 
 same inscription, and less than a quarter of a century afterwards 
 actually did "Proclaim liberty throughout the land, unto all the in- 
 habitants thereof." During the fifteen years of Norris's speakership, 
 was waged the great contest between the populace and the Proprie- 
 taries ou the subject of taxation and legislative control of the Penn 
 family estates. The Quakers, with Norris at their head, joined the 
 opposers of privilege. In the course of one of the debates in the 
 Assembly, Norris declared "No man shall ever stand upon my grave 
 and say ' Curse him ' or ' Here lies he who betrayed the liberties of his 
 Country.' " In 1757, the Assembly resolved to send him and Benjamin 
 Franklin to England to solicit for the removal of grievances occasioned 
 by the Proprietary instructions, &c., but Norris declined the appointment 
 on account of ill health, so that Franklin undertook it alone. Oppo- 
 sition to the encroachments of the Penns, however, did not lead Norris 
 into the scheme for converting Pennsylvania into a Royal province, 
 whereby instead of having to deal with a family who felt some attach- 
 ment to the people and the soil, whose property lay in the colony, and 
 whose financial interests were generally identical with their own, and 
 for whom in most contests they had proved themselves a match, the 
 people were to be ruled by a Governor responsible only to the British 
 Ministry, and supported by the whole power of the Crown. When, in 
 1764, a petition to the King to effect this change passed the Assembly 
 despite the remonstrances of Dickinson, Norris's son-in-law, Norris 
 requested that, his sentiments being very different from those of the

 majority, as his seat in the chair prevented him from enterini;; into (lie 
 debate, therefore if in consequence of their order his duty sliuuld 
 oblige him to sign the petition as Speaker, he might be permitted to 
 offer iiis sentiraeuts on the subject before he signed, and that they 
 might be entered on the minutes. Tiiis request was granted, after 
 which the House adjourned to the following morning. On reassem- 
 bling, it received a letter from Norris resigning the Speakership. The 
 long sitting and the excitement of the debate had proved too much for 
 his weakened health, and being too unwell to attend, he availed him- 
 self of the excuse to be relieved of the unpleasant duty. Benjamin 
 Franklin was chosen his successor, and signed the petition. At the 
 ensuing popular election, Franklin was not returned to the Assembly. 
 Norris's name, contrary to his wishes, had been placed upon the ticket 
 for Philadelphia County : he was again chosen to the Assembly, and 
 again became its Speaker. He a second time resigned, Oct. 24, 17G4, 
 Joseph Fox being his successor. 
 
 Norris had the literary tastes of the Quaker connection to which he 
 belonged, and in the course of his busy life collected a fine library for 
 those days. The principal portion of it, " consisting of about 1500 
 volumes upon the most important subjects," was presented to Dickin- 
 son College by the Hon. John Dickinson upon the founding of that 
 institution. Norris wrote with ease in French and Latin, and had 
 some knowledge of Hebrew. Among his various public services, he 
 acted for several years as a trustee of the College. He died at Fair 
 Hill July 13, 1766. He made no will.

 colonel of a regiment, the President of first one state and then another, 
 a framer of the National Constitution, he should be in fame, as he was 
 in politics, the rival of Benjamin Franklin and the companioa of 
 Robert Morris. His father, Samuel Dickinson, a wealthy Quaker, was 
 sometime head of the judiciary of Kent County on the Delaware, and 
 his mother was a sister of Dr. Thomas Cadwalader, the Councillor. 
 John Dickinson was born at his father's seat, " Crosia," on the Chop- 
 tank River, Talbot Co., Md., Nov. 2, 1732, 0. S. As a boy he 
 was provided with a tutor, Mr. Killen, afterwards Chancellor of 
 Delaware, and that he received more than ordinary education is 
 evinced in his writings, where we find him quoting Virgil and Tacitus 
 and the history of all nations ancient and modern. Choosing law as 
 a profession, he entered the office of Moland at Philadelphia, where an 
 extended library afforded him rare opportunities. This, however, did 
 not satisfy him, and he finished his course of study in London, spend- 
 ing three years at the Temple. On his return, he began practice. He 
 was soon active in politics in the Lower Counties, where Chew became 
 his opponent. His uncle Cadwalader took up the matter, and went so 
 far as to absent himself from the Governor's Council to avoid meeting 
 Mr. Chew. Dickinson was elected a member of the Assembly of 
 Pennsylvania from Philadelphia County in 1762, and re-elected the 
 following year, being then placed upon the Committee of Correspond- 
 ence. During this session, the contest between the Proprietaries and the 
 majority in the Assembly reached its highest pitch. Dickinson con- 
 tinuously opposed what he deemed the exactions of the Penns, but 
 when, at last, the leaders of the Assembly proposed a petition to the 
 King praying His Majesty to take away the governorship from the 
 Proprietary family, and make the colony a royal province, Dickinson 
 pleaded with the House not to let its resentment produce effects more 
 fatal than the injuries of which they complained. If the change of 
 government could take place with all the colonial privileges preserved, 
 let it do so instantly, but " if tiiey must be consumed in the blaze of 
 royal authority, we shall pay too great a price for our approach to the 
 throne." He thought — as he did when the declaration of American 
 independence was proposed — that the proper time had not arrived. He 
 pointed out that the Assembly was voting to put itself under the 
 King, when they were laboring under royal displeasure for their con- 
 duct in the late war; and would not the indignation of the Court rise 
 beyond all bounds, when they found this application for a change pro-

 ceeded from the Governor's aiilierence to stipulations approved by the 
 late and present King? Tlie time migiit come when the weight of 
 government would be too heavy for the shoulders of a subject ; at least 
 too heavy for those of a woman or an infant ; and when the point 
 should be agitated either on a proposal from the Crown or the Pro- 
 prietaries themselves, the Province could plead the cause of her privi- 
 leges with greater freedom and more probability of success than at 
 present. Now they were to request His Majesty to change the gov- 
 ernment, and yet insist on the preservation of their privileges. His 
 Majesty would not accept the government clogged in that way; and 
 then would they ask it back ? or let it go on such conditions as he 
 would be pleased to impose? It was the desire of the Ministry to vest 
 the government advantageously in the Crown : let the Assembly pe- 
 tition for a change, and Parliament would pass an act delivering the 
 colony at once from the Proprietore and tiie privileges claimed under 
 them. " Power is like the ocean : not easily admitting limits to be 
 fixed to it. * * * Let not us then, in expectation of smooth seas 
 and an undisturbed course, too rashly venture our little vessel that 
 hath safely sailed round our own well-known shores upon the midst 
 of the untried deep, witliout being first fully convinced that her make 
 is strong enough to bear the weather she may meet with, and that she 
 is well provided for so long and so dangerous a voyage." In spite of 
 Dickinson's arguments, the Assembly voted the petition, Galloway 
 and Franklin being its greatest advocates. Galloway afterwards pub- 
 lished what he claimed to have been his speech in reply to Dickinson, 
 and the latter with his own speech made his first appearance as a po- 
 litical writer. At the next election, Dickinson was returned to the 
 Assembly. Galloway and Franklin were defeated, but sufficient of 
 their friends continued to be members not only to prevent the recall 
 of the petition, — Dickinson and nine others voting to recall, against 
 22 nays, — but also to send Dr. Franklin — by a vote of 19 to 11, 
 Dickinson again in the minority — as additional agent to London. The 
 Assembly, in September, 1765, chose Dickinson a Delegate to meet 
 committees from the other colonies in the Congress at New York in 
 October, on the subject of the Stamp Act. He published about this 
 time " The late Regulations respecting the British Colonies on the 
 Continent of America ; " also, in 1766, "An Address to the Committee 
 of Correspondence in Barbadoes occasioned by a late letter from them 
 to their agent in London. By a North American." Parliament re- 
 pealed the Stamp Act, but, in 1767, acting on its claim of right to tax 
 
56 Norris — Dickinson. 
 
 the colonies, levied duties on tea, paper, glass, etc., payable in America 
 on the importation of those articles there. In November of tiiat year, 
 appeared the first of the " Letters from a farmer in Pennsylvania to 
 the Inhabitants of the British colonies," tlie authorship of which gave 
 Dickinson so much of his celebrity. They were republished in every 
 colony, also in London, and afterwards, translated into French, in 
 Paris. Dr. Franklin, Dickinson's former enemy, wrote the preface to 
 the London edition : the people of Boston in a town meeting voted their 
 thanks. The Farmer's Letter No. I began : "My Dear Countrymen. 
 I am a farmer, settled, after a variety of fortunes, near the banks of the 
 river Delaware, in the province of Pennsylvania. I received a liberal 
 education, and have been engaged in the busy scenes of life; but am 
 now convinced that a man may be as happy without bustle as with it. 
 My farm is small ; my servants are few and good ; I have a little 
 money at interest; I wish for no more; my em[)li)yment in my own 
 affairs is easy; and with a contented, grateful mind, undisturbed by 
 worldly hopes or fears, relating to myself, I am completing the num- 
 ber of days allotted to me by Divine goodness." As every man ought 
 to espouse the sacred cause of liberty to the extent of his powers, he 
 offers some thoughts on late transactions, praying that his lines may be 
 read with the same zeal for the happiness of British America with 
 which they were written. He had observed that little notice had been 
 taken of the Act of Parliament for suspending the legislation of New 
 York. This was punishment for non-compliance by the Assembly of 
 that Province with a former act requiring certain provisions to be 
 made for the troops. To compel the colonies to furnish articles for the 
 troops was, he proceeded to show, but taxation in another form, and 
 New York was being punished for resisting such taxation. In Letter 
 II, the Farmer took up the Act granting duties ou paper, glass, &c., 
 which he deemed a most dangerous innovation upon the old practice 
 imposing duties merely for the regulation of trade. Parliament had a 
 right to regulate the trade of the colonies : but here it was avowing the 
 design of raising revenue.s from America; a right, which, America felt, 
 was inherent in her own representatives. This taxation was attempted 
 by the device of levying duties on certain articles exported to the 
 Colonies. The effect of this was clearly pointed out. Great Britain 
 had prohibited certain iDauufactures in the colonies, and had pro- 
 hibited the purchase of such manufactured goods except from the 
 Mother Country. " If you once admit that Great Britain may lay 
 duties upon her exportations to us, for the pur[)ose of levying money 
 
Norris — Dickinson. 57 
 
 on us only, slie then will have nothing to do but to lay those duties on 
 the articles wiiich she prohibits us to luauufacture — and the tragedy of 
 American liberty is finished." It would be taxing the article wherever 
 useil. And it made no difference whetiier tiie duties were to be paid 
 in England or America. In Letter III, the Farmer explained that 
 there were other modes of resistance to oppression than any breach of 
 the peace, and deprecated, as Dickinson did ever afterwards, any 
 attempt to make the colonies independent. '' If ouce we are separated 
 from our mother country, what new form of government shall we 
 adopt, or where shall we find another Britain, to supply our loss. 
 Torn from the body to which we are united by religion, liberty, laws, 
 affections, relation, language, and commerce, we must bleed at every 
 vein." In the subsequent letters, the dangers to American liberty were 
 expatiated upon, the objections answered, and the people urged to make 
 a stand for themselves and their posterity peaceably, prudently, firmly, 
 jointly. " You are assigned by Divine Providence, in the appointed 
 order of things the protectors of unborn ages, whose fate depends upon 
 your virtue. Whether they shall arise the generous and indisputable 
 heirs of the noblest patrimonies or the dastardly and hereditary 
 drudges of imperious taskmasters, you must determine." 
 
 In March, 1774, began British coercion of recalcitrant America. 
 Boston, for its bold demonstrations culminating in the " Boston Tea 
 Party," was closed as a port against all commerce by an Act of Parlia- 
 ment passed during that month. The news of its passage aroused the 
 indignation of the friends of liberty ; and resolutions for a suspension 
 of trade with England and for a general congress came from the neigh- 
 boring colonies : but in Pennsylvania the majority were disinclined to 
 action. That any was taken is owing to Thomson, Mifflin, and Kee<l, 
 with whom Dickinson united: and he only, trusted for his modera- 
 tion, admired for his abilities, or considered for his wealth, could have 
 induced the Quakers to consent to an expression of sympathy for Bos- 
 ton and the participation by Pennsylvania in another General Con- 
 gress. A convention of the county committees was called : and he 
 prepared a statement of principles, which was adopted by that body for 
 the instruction of the General Assembly, about to meet in a special 
 session. They desired the assembly to appoint delegates to the Con- 
 gress, with orders to exert themselves to obtain a renunciation by Great 
 Britain of all powers under the statute of 35 Henry VIII fur trans- 
 porting persons to England for trial and all powers of internal legis- 
 lation, imposing taxes or duties, or regulating trade except in certain 
 
58 Norris — Dickinson. 
 
 cases ; also a repeal of the acts for quartering troops in the colonies, or 
 imposing duties to be i)ai(l iu the colonies passed within a certain time 
 or giving colonial courts of admiralty certain powers complained of, or 
 shutting up the ]iort of Boston, &c. : in exchange for which favors, the 
 colonies should engage to obey the Acts of Navigation and other acts of 
 Parliament, and settle an annual revenue on the King, and satisfy all 
 damages done to the East India Company. The Assembly received the 
 address of the Convention, and ap|)ointed certain of its members as 
 delegates to the Congress, thereby excluding Dickinson, Willing, and 
 Wilson, whom the Convention would have sent. The non-appoint- 
 ment of " the Farmer " caused great chagrin ; however, in the begin- 
 ning of October, he was almost unanimously elected a member of the 
 Assembly, and, on the opening of the session, was added to the delega- 
 tion. In Congress, his master hand was first employed in the Address 
 to the Inhabitants of Quebec forwarded under date of Oct. 26. It 
 was to explain the English Constitution, founded, as it said, on the 
 principle that " to live by the will of one man or set of men is the pro- 
 duction of misery to all men." Under that Constitution the first 
 grand right is popular representation, leading to the right of withhold- 
 ing supplies until grievances be redressed ; the second grand right, 
 trial by jury ; the third, the writ of habeas corpus; the fourth, the 
 holding of laud by easy rents ; and the last, freedom of the press. In 
 place of these rights, a recent act of Parliament had given to the peo- 
 ple of Quebec an absolute government dependent on the pleasure of a 
 Ministry. Such being the case, the Address appealed to them to unite 
 with the Colonies. Nature had joined their country to ours : let the 
 people join their political interests. They were not asked to commence 
 acts of hostility against their sovereign, but to unite with the Colonies 
 in one social compact. For this purpose, they were desired to send 
 delegates to the Congress which should meet the 10th of May following. 
 After this, Dickinson wrote the Petition to the King, entreating his 
 attention to a number of grievances, and asking but for Peace, Liberty, 
 and Safety. It was penned, says Belsham in his Memoirs of George 
 III, " with extraordinary force and animation, in many parts rising 
 to a very high strain of eloquence." It is a great record for John 
 Dickinson that nearly every address sent forth from the Continental 
 Congress from this time to the Fourth of July, 1776, was written by 
 him. At home, he was active as a member of Assembly and one of 
 the Committee for the City and Liberties to enforce the non-importa- 
 tion resolves of Congress, and was the head of the patriots even in 
 
Nan-is — Dickinson. 59 
 
 arranging the taking up of arms. Upon news of the hattle of Lex- 
 ington, multitudes of the people entered into an association for de- 
 fence. The Assembly was induced to resolve that it approved of the 
 association, and would pay both officers and men in case it were 
 necessary for those enlisted to go into active service. At the same 
 time, it ordered 35,000^. in bills of credit to be struck off, appointed a 
 Committee of Safety, Dickinson upon the Committee, and offered so 
 much for every cwt. of saltpetre furnished the same within the next 
 three months, and so much for every cwt. furnished within the three 
 months following. Dickinson, born and bred a Quaker, was also 
 elected colonel of one of the regiments. 
 
 In all the excitement of the period, Dickinson never swerved from 
 the principle of maintaining union witii Great Britain. A murmur 
 for independence was becoming audible through the colonies; but it 
 ■was against the tenor of all his writings, and, however general it may 
 have been in Massachusetts, had been quickly frowned down in Penn- 
 sylvania. It was with difficulty that the mass of our people had been 
 roused at all. A moderate amount of fair treatment by Parliament 
 •would have satisfied them. By the Quakers, what was desired was not 
 to be obtained by bloodshed. By the Proprietary, it was not worth risk- 
 ingdeprivation ofoffice. With the rest of the population, becoming more 
 and more determined to battle for their rights, the influence of "the 
 Farmer" was sufficient to keep them to the original purposes of resist- 
 ance. In Congress, his labors were for reconciliation, and he carried 
 through that body the Second Petition to the King, which was carried 
 over to England by Richard Penn. It was called " the olive-branch," 
 and was looked upon as a forlorn hope by the majority, and by many 
 acquiesced in as the last effort of the Conservatives ; but Ramsey in 
 his History says it produced more solid advantages to the Americans 
 than preceding measures. In October, 1775, Dickinson was almost 
 unanimously re-elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly — Bancroft sums 
 up, "by patriots who still confided in his integrity, by loyalists who 
 looked upon him as their last hope, by the Quakers who knew his 
 regard for peace, by the Proprietary party whose cause he had always 
 vindicated." In November, delegates were chosen to Congress ; Dick- 
 inson was returned, and Benjamin Franklin alone, out of the nine 
 delegates, was in favor of separation : and they were instructed to 
 reject any proposition looking to such a thing. Dickinson continued 
 to be one of the most important members of Congress, was placed on 
 the committee to correspond with foreign powers, and was intrusted 
 
60 Norris — Dickinson. 
 
 with the framing of Articles of Confederatiou. The majority were 
 now determined to destroy the authority of tiie British King, and 
 although Dickinson i»eld his delegation to his own views, the progress 
 of events changed public feeling in Pennsylvania. Only the Provin- 
 cial office-holders and the few who had some lingeriua: belief in the 
 doctrines of passive obedience aud divine right, saw anything awful io 
 breaking their allegiance to George III, and many who regretted the 
 cruel necessity were now ready to give up the name of Englishmen. 
 With Dickinson himself, it became a question of advisability. At 
 length the Assembly released the delegates from the former instruc- 
 tions, and left the matter to their own judgment. A committee, with 
 the author of the Farmer's Letters at its head, reported : " The hap- 
 piness of these colonies has during the whole course of this fatal con- 
 troversy been our first wish ; their reconciliation with Great Britain 
 our next. Ardently have we prayed for the accomplishment of both. 
 But if we must renounce the one or the other, we humbly trust in the 
 mercies of the Supreme Governor of the universe that we shall not 
 stand condemned before His throne if our choice is determined by that 
 overruling law of self-preservation which His Divine wisdom has 
 thought proper to implant in the hearts of His creatures." The Con- 
 tinental Congress now resolved itself into a committee of the whole on 
 the question of independence. John Adams advocated it with great 
 warmth : and delegates from other colonies joined in the clamor. 
 Livingston of New York, Rutledge of South Carolina, and Wilson of 
 Pennsylvania joined with Dickinson in opposing it. Wilson avowed, 
 that, notwithstanding the recall of the instructions against independ- 
 ence by the Assembly of Pennsylvania, his own sentiments remained 
 the same. Dickinson, who had pledged his word to the Assembly the 
 day before that he and a majority of the delegates from the colony 
 would continue to vote against independence, declared that two hun- 
 dred years of happiness and present prosperity, resulting from English 
 laws and the union with Great Britain, demonstrated that America 
 could be wisely governed by the King and Parliament. It was not as 
 independent, but as sulyect states ; not as a republic, but as a monarchy, 
 that the colonies had attained to power and greatness. The restrain- 
 ing power of the King and Parliament was indispensable to protect; 
 the colonies from disunion and civil war. If the dread of English 
 arms were removed, province would rise against province, city against 
 city, and the weapons now assumed to combat the common enemy 
 would be turned against themselves. Even when supported by the 
 
Noiris — Dickiiifion. 61 
 
 powerful liand of England, the colonists had abandoned themselves to 
 discords and sometimes to violence, from the paltry motives of terri- 
 torial limits and distant jurisdictions: what then must they not expect 
 now that minds were iieated, ambitions roused, and arms in the hands 
 of all ? For the past twelve years the measures of the English gov- 
 ernment had savored of tyranny ; but wsis there any doubt that it 
 already felt a secret repentance ? The arms it prepared were not now 
 designed to establish tyranny on our shores, but to compel us to accept 
 terms of accommodation. The distance of the seat of government, the 
 vast extent of intervening seas, tlie continual increase of our popula- 
 tion, our warlike spirit, our experience in arms, the lakes, the rivers, 
 the forests, the defiles which abounded in our territory, were our 
 pledges that England would always prefer to found her power upon 
 moderation and liberty rather than upon rigor and oppression. As to 
 the beneficence of founding an American republic, Dickinson, accord- 
 ing to Botta's Hist. Amer. War, reminded Congress how in popular 
 republics "so necessary is monarchy to cement human society," it had 
 been found requisite to institute monarchical powers more or less exten- 
 sive, under the names of Archons, Consuls, Doges, Gonfaloniers, and 
 Kings. The English nation had never found repose except in mon- 
 archy; and the Englisli constitution seemed to be the fruit of the ex- 
 perience of all former time, monarchy being so tempered that the 
 monarch himself is checked in his efforts to seize absolute power, and 
 the authority of the people being so regulated that anarchy is not to be 
 feared. When a counterpoise siiould no longer exist, the democratic 
 power, it was to be apprehended, might carry all before it, and involve 
 the state in confusion and ruin ; and then an ambitious citizen arise, 
 seize the reins of power, and anniiiilate liberty forever. The debate 
 was adjourned to the 1st of July. When Congress again resolved 
 itself into committee on the question, James Wilson had turned for 
 independence. John Adams now made a stirring speecii in favor 
 of declaring it. Dickinson rose in reply. " I desire this illustrious 
 assembly to witness the integrity, if not the policy of my con- 
 duct." He argued that the time had not come for such a step. 
 "Without some prelusory trials of our strength, we ought not to 
 commit our country upon an alternative ^where to recede would be 
 infamy and to persist might be destruction." It would add nothing 
 to their strength : it might unite the different parties in England 
 against them : it might create disunion among themselves. He 
 pointed out that foreign aid would not be obtained without success ia

 battle. Before the proposed step were taken, they should know the 
 feelings of the great powers, whicii emissaries had been sent to sound, 
 and as to which they would soon get a report. They ought at least to 
 have agreed upon the terms of their own confederation, as had been 
 begun, and it would have been well to have fixed the bounds of each 
 colony, and declared the region not within the acknowledged bound- 
 aries to be appropriated for the common benefit to pay the expense of 
 the war. To the intelligent reader, there is sagacity in all Dickinson's 
 utterances on public affairs : to the student of the history of that time, 
 there was but common prudence in what he said on this occasion, suc- 
 cessful as, after a long war, became the venture of declaring for inde- 
 pendenceat this juncture. The colonies were divided. Pennsylvania had 
 been maintaining a border war with both Virginia and Connecticut, be- 
 cause of conflicting or misunderstood boundaries. New York had a simi- 
 lar dispute with Connecticut and New Hampshire, the latter contesting 
 for the region which has since become the stale of Vermont. Further 
 trouble was to be expected as population advanced towards the interior of 
 the continent, the older colonies claiming under their original charters as 
 far as the Pacific ocean. It was imperative before these rival communi- 
 ties were freed from outside control that such claims against each 
 other should be arbitrated. The various colonies differed in interests, 
 sentiments, and somewhat in I'ace. The Huguenot and the Knicker- 
 bocker naturally cared little for his neighbors of English descent. It 
 was possible that the Quaker remembered New England persecution : 
 left to himself, he would keep the state he controlled isolated. It was 
 not likely that a body of gentleman farmers formed into a state free to 
 follow their own inclinations would keep up any alliance with a mer- 
 cantile democracy. That alliance, then, should have been imposed as 
 the condition of their political greatness. Congress, however, was 
 ordaining that South Carolina and Massachusetts and New York and 
 Delaware, etc., etc., were each an independent nation absolved from 
 allegiance to the British crown, and under no regulations as to inter- 
 course with one another ! Perhaps if the great declaration had been 
 postponed until after the articles of confederation were settled, and the 
 colonies bound together more closely by common suffering, the im- 
 mortal instrument would have declared the colonies " a free and inde- 
 pendent nation," and spared posterity the conflict arising from " free 
 and independent states." Nothing but the long war welding together 
 the opposite parts and peoples gave us a country. Dickinson in 
 voting in committee of the whole against Lee's resolution declaring

 independence was joined by Robert Morris, Tiionias Willing, and 
 Charles Humphreys, making with him a majority of the Pennsylvania 
 delegation ; but nearly every colony went the other way. On July 2, 
 1776, the resolution, being reported by the Cotnniittee of the Whole, 
 came to a direct vote. Dickinson and Morris made no further oppo- 
 sition, but by absenting themselves allowed Pennsylvania to be 
 counted in the affirmative. 
 
 Dickinson's course had now destroyed his influence among the 
 Whigs in Philadelphia. He was not chosen to the Convention which 
 met in the middle of July to frame a new constitution for Pennsylva- 
 nia; and the Convention would not re-elect him to Congress. When 
 superseded, he left with that body a draft of Articles of Confederation, 
 the framing of which the committee appointed on the subject had 
 largely delegated to him. His draft formed the basis of the Articles 
 afterwards adopted. Obeying the Declaration of Independence, he 
 soon after went into service with his regiment. 
 
 Delaware sent him back to Congress in 1777, and he took an active 
 part in perfecting the Articles of Confederation. For a short time he 
 served as a private in the army, and was wounded in the shoulder in 
 the skirmish at the Head of Elk. He was again in Congress in 1779, 
 and penned the address on tlie depreciation of the currency. He was 
 afterwards President of the State of Delaware. At the expiration of 
 his term of office he returned to Fair Hill, and again entered upon 
 public life in Pennsylvania. He was elected to the Supreme Execu- 
 tive Council, a body created by the Constitution of 1776, and fashioned 
 upon the Provincial Council of the old charter of 1683. It chose one 
 of its members President, tiie latter being the Chief Magistrate under 
 the people, just as Shippen, Logan, and Palmer had been under the 
 Penns. Dickinson was raised to this dignity Nov. 7, 1782, and re- 
 ceived it again the two following years. In addition to other duties, 
 he had to preside over the High Court of Errors and Ap[)eals. Some 
 of his opinions are reported by Dallas. 
 
 Dickinson College, founded while he was President, was named 
 after him. He was very generous with his large means, various insti- 
 tutions being his beneficiaries in his life time and receiving legacies at 
 his death. 
 
 Delaware sent him to the Convention of 1787 which framed the 
 Constitution of the United States. There he earnestly advocated the 
 equal representation of the states in one house of Congress at least, as 
 the only way of preserving the independence of the smaller members

 of the Union. He afterwards spoke of the government as a union of 
 sovereignties represented in the Senate and a union of peoples repre- 
 sented in the House. He also advocated the adoption of the Consti- 
 tution in a series of letters signed " Fabius." 
 
 He was also a member of tiie Convention of 1792 to frame a con- 
 stitution for tlie State of Delaware. Dickinson sympathized with the 
 French Republic, and in 1797, when tlie President called a special 
 session of Congress to consider the troubles with that country, he 
 •wrote in its behalf another series of letters over the signature "Fabius." 
 He died Feb. 14, 1808.

 Joseph Parker Norris, b. May 5, 1763, gr'dson of the Coun- 
 cillor, was a pupil of Robert Proud the historian, and was an execu- 
 tor of his will. The estates of Fair Hill and Sepviva having been 
 settled upon the sons of Charles Norris, his father, in tail male, with 
 remainder to the right heirs of Isaac Norris the Speaker, with power 
 in Mrs. Dickinson to determine which son of Charles Norris should be 
 tenant in tail, Joseph Parker Norris purchased the property. John 
 Dickinson and wife appointed him tenant in tail male by deed of May 
 18, 1790, and by another deed of the same date, Mrs. Dickinson being 
 sole heiress of Isaac Norris the Speaker, they granted him the rever- 
 sionary interest. In the course of the year, by the legal legerdemain 
 of a common recovery, he destroyed the entail, and so became seized 
 in fee simple of some six hundred and fifty acres in the Northern 
 Liberties lying between Gunner's Run, now the Aramingo Canal, and 
 the Germantown Turnpike. This remained a rural seat up to the 
 date of his death, althougli the time when it should be covered with 
 rows of houses was then so near at hand that he must be considered to 
 have left the greatest landed estate of any of his contemporaries in 
 these parts. He was many years President of the Bank of Pennsyl- 
 vania. He died June 22, 1841, having by his will devised Fair Hill 
 to trustees for his sons' and Sepviva to trustees for his daughters' 
 children. An Act of Assembly was passed to enable the trustees to 
 sell during the lifetime of the testator's children. He m. May 20,

Samuel Preston. 
 
 CARPENTER BRANCH FURNISHED BY HON. CHAS. PERRIN SMITH. 
 
 Samuel Preston was born in Pautuxent, Maryland, in 1665, and 
 was brought up a Quaker. After his first marriage he settled in Sus- 
 sex County on the Delaware, and in 1693 and 1701 was chosen one of 
 its representatives in the Assembly. He was Sheriff prior to 1695. 
 In 1699, he accompanied Thomas Story on a religious visit. About 
 1703, he made Philadelphia his residence, and became a mercliant. 
 He performed various services for tiie Society of Friends, and shared 
 the influence of his brothers-in-law Hill and Norris among the Quaker 
 population, and with them was unanimously elected an Alderman of 
 the city October 5th, 1708. Up to this time they had not been ad- 
 mitted freemen, and therefore their election was made conditional 
 upon their paying the fees for the freedom. They duly qualified j 
 and until 1741 the city government was pretty much in the hands of 
 the Lloyd connection. In a letter of 11 mo. 17, 1708, desiring Penn 
 to consider whom to add to the Pro])erty Commission, James Logan 
 says: "Samuel Preston is also a veiy good man, and now makes a 
 figure; and, indeed, Rachel's husband ought particularly to be taken 
 notice of, for it has been too long neglected even for tiiy own interest." 
 Norris and Preston were called to the Council and both qualified Feb. 
 9, 1708-9. Preston was Mayor of Philadelphia in 17U. Four meet- 
 ings of the Corporation were held during his year of service, and the 
 cliief matters attended to, were the starting of a work-house, and the 
 purchase of fire buckets, and the appointment of the Mayor or Recorder 
 with any two or more Aldermen to direct at fires. Preston became 
 Provincial Treasurer in 1714, and held the office until his death, 
 almost thirty years. He was also one of the Trustees under William 
 Penn's will. He died September 10, 1743. He m., 1st, at the house 
 of Francis Cornwall in Sussex, July 6, 1688 Rachel, dau. of Thomas 
 Lloyd, President of the Council. He m., 2nd, Margaret, widow of 
 
74 Preston. 
 
 Josiah Langdale. She was a Quaker preacher from Yorkshire, Eng- 
 land, and came to Pennsylvania on a religious mission in 1723, her 
 first husband dying on the voyage. She was ancestress of Josiah Lang- 
 dale Coates, and d. 6, 23, 1742, in tlie 58tli year of her age.

Anthony Palmer. 
 
 The earliest meution of Anthony Palmer is as " of St. Michael's 
 Parish, Barbados, merchant," in a deed of 1704 from George Lilling- 
 ton of the Parish of St. Thomas, Esq. Lawrence-Archer (Monu- 
 mental Inscrip. Brit. West Indies) says, " Capt. George Lillingtou 
 living in Barbados 1680 was Member of Council at the age of 60 in 
 1708. His son, of the same name, was 'of the Inner Temple, London.' 
 Lillingtou intermarried with the Barbados families of Dottin and 
 AUeyne." This deed conveyed to Palmer a number of lots around 
 about Shackamaxon bought by Lillingtou from the Swedes, in all 582 
 acres. The consideration named in the deed was 500^. Barbados money. 
 With this property awaiting him, " Captain Anthony Palmer," as he 
 was generally called, removed to Philadelpln'a, or at least visited it, as 
 early as 1707, appearing Oct. 15, 1707 as a witness to the marriage of an 
 Elizabeth Palmer in the Friends' Meeting (see Plumsted). On the 
 10th of February at the close of tiie year 1708, he was admitted to a 
 seat in the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania. For the next twenty- 
 five years, he appears to have resided in the city of Philadelphia 
 engaged in mercaniile business, an attendant on Christ Church, and 
 for some time a County Justice. He added to the tract bought of 
 Lillington by purchases from the Fairmans and others, and called it 
 "Hope Farm." He sold it in 1729 to William Ball, among whose 
 heirs a division was made in 1755, but, the greater part continuing 
 long afterwards in possession of that family, the locality is well known 
 as the valuable " Ball estate." In 1730, Palmer bought 191 J acres, at 
 one time the property of Robert Fairman, lying on the South of 
 Gunner's Run, bounded Southwest by the present Columbia Ave., 
 and stretching from the Delaware River across Frankford Road. This 
 he divided into smaller lots, selling them on ground rent, and opening 
 streets. He called the town thus laid out by him Kensington. He 
 made the Fairman mansion his residence. This was situated near the 
 North West cor. Beach and Columbia Ave. It had been the seat of 
 Lieut.-Gov. Evans, and William Penu about 1708 thought of secur- 
 
Palmer. 115 
 
 ing it for himself, with the view of roturning to America, and living 
 there " out of the noise of Phihulelphia but in sight of it." Watson 
 tells us that Palmer lived there in style, keeping a coach, then a great 
 luxury, and a pleasure barge, by Mhich he made his visits to the city. 
 On the resignation of Lieut. -Gov. George Thomas, who departed 
 from Pennsylvania in May, 1747, the executive branch of the govern- 
 ment of the Province and the Territories on the Delaware devolved upon 
 the Council, of whom Anthony Palmer was oldest in term of service. 
 Logan, now passing his declining years in the study of literature and 
 science at Stenton, had been admitted earlier, but he sent word before the 
 close of Thomas's administration that he no longer considered himself a 
 member; so the precedency was ascertained as follows, viz.: Palmer, 
 Lawrence, Hasell, Till, Taylor, Strettell, Hamilton, Shoemaker, 
 Turner, Growden, Hopkinson. Palmer accordingly became head of 
 the Colony under the title of President of the Council, and continued 
 such for eighteen months. He with any four other members of the 
 Council was to sign all papers of state; but neither he nor the Coun- 
 cil at large had power to approve of bills passed by the Assembly. 
 The latter were to wait for a regularly commissioned Deputy-Gov. 
 ernor. Palmer's administration was a time of great anxiety. France 
 and Spain were at war with England ; and Spanish privateers fre- 
 quently came into Delaware Bay, landed their crews, and plundered 
 the const. Sometimes they ascended the river, threatening Newcastle 
 and Philadelphia itself; while the scruples of the non-resistant sects 
 which formed so great a portion of the populace, and had a majority 
 in the Assembly, allowed no appropriation of public money for de- 
 fence. Palmer's government was successful in raising several com- 
 panies of volunteers, and in making treaties of friendship with the 
 Indians of the Six Nations on the Ohio and the Twightees on the 
 Wabash, who had formerly been in the French interest. Peace was 
 agreed upon by the belligerent powers at Aix-la-Chapelle, Oct. 1, 
 1748. Palmer, whose health for a long time had been very feeble, 
 was superseded by the arrival of James Hamilton as Deputy-Governor, 
 November, 1748. Anthony Palmer d. at his residence, bu. Xt. Ch. June

 the fifth baronet of the line, the title having been conferred 
 in 1629 on his great-great-grandfather. Douglas's Baron-

 Andrew Hamilton, the most eminent lawyer of his time in Penn- 
 sylvania, the champion of the liberty of the press, whom Governeiir 
 Morris has called " the day-star of the American Revolution," and the 
 chief projector of our State House, afterwards the Hall of Indepen- 
 dence, was born in Scotland about 1676. His parentage and his career 
 in the Old World, he seems to have kept a secret, which it is now too 
 late to find out. His real name is uncertain, as he was at one time 
 called Trent. James Logan, writing to Hannah Penn, says, " This 
 comes by one Andr Hamilton once an acquaintance of his namesake 
 our former Governor :" and Col. F. M. Etting, in his History of In- 
 dependence Hall, has attempted to prove a relationship to Governor 
 Andrew Hamilton, a Scotcii merchant, who came to East Jersey in 
 1686, and died in 1703, while Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylvania. 
 He appears to have married thrice, a wife being mentioned in 1688, 
 who was probably the mother of the Governor's son John, who became 
 President of the Council of New Jersey. It is said that the Governor 
 married Ann, daughter of Deputy-Governor Thomas Rudyard, and 
 widow of John West of New York, whom she had married in 1684, 
 and of Robert Wharton ; and the Governor's wife at his death was 
 named Agnes. He left all his property to her and his son John, and 
 John left all his property to his wife Elizabeth, neither making men- 
 tion of Andrew. There was another Andrew Hamilton connected 
 with New Jersey, a " doctor in physick of ye parish of St. Anne's 
 Westminster co. of Middlesex England," who owned half of a pro- 
 prietary interest, and, in 1692, had surveyed for himself 4700 acres 
 alongside of William Penn's land between the Assanpink and Millstone 
 
Hamilton. 121 
 
 rivers. The will of this Andrew Hamilton was probated in tlie Pre- 
 rogative Court at Canterbury in January of 1696-7, and mentions a 
 "wife Ann Dusancier" and a "half brother Charles Murray," whom 
 he ordered to pay 800 marks to "ye Lady Ann Hamilton of Kister- 
 holrae in ye Parish of Kilbright in ye Shire of Cliddsdall in Scot- 
 land" and also £20 to "Captain James Hamilton." There were also 
 in New Jersey Major Robert Hamilton of Middletown and William 
 Hamilton of the same place, on whose estate letters of administration 
 were granted in 1687 to Robert Hamilton. Andrew Hamilton the 
 Councillor had land in New Jersey, which his son James sold in 1745, 
 the deed not reciting his title to it; and from his being "an acquaint- 
 ance of his namesake our former governor," and from his intimacy 
 with George Willocks of Perth Amboy, who had married Margaret 
 Winder, also daughter of Dep.-Gov. Rudyard, and Willocks's bequests 
 to Hamilton's sons and devise of a house to Hamilton's daughter, 
 while they were still young, and from Hamilton's bearing the name of 
 Trent, a Maurice Trent having settled early in New Jersey, and from 
 his being "delicately brought up" and having received "an unusually 
 finished education," as Col. Etting says, it may be inferred that he was 
 somebody to whom the Scottish proprietors of East Jersey felt called 
 upon to show attention. 
 
 James Hamilton, his eldest son, as early as 1741, used as a seal the 
 Hamilton arms — gu. 3 cinquefoils erm. — with a mullet in the centre, 
 which is the mark of a third son, and, at the same time, is to be seen 
 on the shield of the Udstoun branch of the family. His crest was 
 not the crest as now published of the Udstoun branch, but the his- 
 toric tree intersected with a frame-saw with the legend " Through," 
 as borne by the distinguished heads of the House. Douglas's Scotch 
 Peerage fails to show any one with whom the emigrant to America 
 can be identified : but the descendants of a Robert Hamilton, writer 
 in Edinburgh, younger son of Hamilton of Udstoun, are omitted. 
 Against this, is a note in Chief Justice Tilghman's diary that Mr. 
 Chew, who had studied with Hamilton, said that Mr. Allen (Hamil- 
 ton's son-in-lawj and Mr. Francis had told him that "A. H.'s name was 
 Trent." Robert French, who had settled at New Castle before 1687, 
 speaks of him in his will, dated Oct. 21, 1713, as "ray friend and 
 countryman Andrew Hamilton of Chester River in Maryland gentle- 
 man." French had married the widow of Maurice Trent of Phila. 
 The will of James Trent of the town of Inverness, Scotland, sojourn- 
 
122 Hamilton. 
 
 ing in Pliila., dated 1696, however mentions no other relative besides 
 his brother William, who was the founder of Trenton, N. J. 
 
 Our positive information is, that, when about of age, he came to 
 Accomac County on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The family tradi- 
 tion, mentioned by Joshua Francis Fisher in his Sketch of him (Daw- 
 son's Hist. Magazine, Aug. 1868), tliat he fled from his native country 
 on account of having killed a person of note in a duel may have its 
 origin in the celebrated duel of the Duke of Hamilton and Lord 
 Mohun in 1712. In his address to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 
 1739, Hamilton speaks of " liberty, tlie love of which as it first drew 
 to, so it constantly prevailed on me to reside in this Province, tho' to 
 the manifest prejudice of my fortune;" a remark which would hardly 
 have been appropriate to his removal from Maryland to Pliiladel[)hia. 
 
 At Accomac he obtained employment as steward of a plantation, and 
 for a time kept a classical school. At what date he assumed, or, if it 
 was his real name, resumed the name of Hamilton, we do not know. 
 In 1706, Rev. Francis Makemie, the Father of Presbyterianism in those 
 parts (a native of Co. Donegal, Ireland, who came to America in 1684 
 and was in Accomac engaged in trade in 1690, and married Naomi 
 Anderson of that County, removing to Barbadoes, and returning to 
 Accomac about 1699 with a license to preach), bequeathed his law 
 books to "Andrew Hamilton Esq." If Hamilton at this time had any 
 affiliations with the Presbyterians, they did not last long. His family 
 appear to have attended Christ Ciiurch, his wife was of Quaker par- 
 entage, and he himself belonged to no Christian denomination. 
 
 His marriage while steward with the widow of the owner of the 
 estate, so the story goes, brought him influential connections, and he 
 began the practice of law. He removed to Chestertown, Kent Co., 
 Md., in the neighbourhood of which, it is to be remarked, were a large 
 family of Hambletons, one of whom was probably the "son-in-law 
 Andrew Hambleton," to whom Ninian Beale, a prominent man in 
 Maryland, left a cow by his will dated in 1717. 
 
 Mr. Fisher quotes the records of Gray's Inn, London, that " Mr. 
 Andrew Hamilton of Maryland " was admitted a member of that 
 learned Society on Jany. 27, 1712, and, on Feb. 10 following, was 
 called to the Bar of the same per favor., which means without keeping 
 the usual terms. In the winter of 1712-3, i. e. before Logan's letter 
 of 12 mo. (February) 26, 1712-3, which mentions it, he was the law- 
 yer for Penn in a replevin case brought by Berkeley Codd, where the 
 Proprietary's point was, that, the quit-rent due from Codd's land being 
 
Hamilton. 1 23 
 
 a rent-service, distress was incident thereto of common right. Hamil- 
 ton here did not trust to his abilities in the forum. Logan's letter of 
 7ber 14, 1713, the same which calls him "once an acquaintance of 
 his namesake our former go%'ernor" says, "Twas he we employed in 
 the business of the replevin brought last winter upon a distress made 
 in the Co. of Sussex for quit-rents and he baffled them, tho' he thought 
 not fit to suffer it to proceed to a trial for want of belter tackle on our 
 side." Ldgan goes on to say that abroad " he will readily be assistant 
 I believe in anything in his power but designing a short stay can do 
 little more than by advice & information." About this time Hamil- 
 ton's name appears in the deed books of Philadelphia associated with 
 Plumsted, the Councillor, and with Gilbert and John Falconar, who 
 were natives of Edinburgh. He removed to Philadelpiiia prior to the 
 time named in the following indictment, reprinted in Wharton's Pre- 
 cedents of Indictments and Pleas, 4th Edit., p. 961 : The grand in- 
 quest for our Lord the King upon their respective oaths and affirma- 
 tions do present that Andrew Hamilton late of the city of Philadel- 
 phia, Esq. the tenth of October, in the first year of the reign of our 
 lord George by the grace of God King * * the third, of the hon- 
 orable Charles Gookiu Esq. lieutenant-governor of the province oi 
 Pennsylvania, then and still being, the wicked, opprobrious, and re- 
 proachful words following did speak, utter, and pronounce viz : 
 Damn him" &ct. On Sept. 21, 1716, Hamilton gave bond in 1000/. 
 with Plumsted and Israel Pemberton as his sureties to appear at the 
 next court of record. This case was doubtless discontinued by order 
 of Gov. Gookin's successor, and in 1717 Hamilton was made Attorney 
 General of Pennsylvania. In March, 1720-1 he was called to the 
 Council, accepting on condition that his duties should not interfere 
 with his practice. Logan, in a letter to Gouldney, dated 3 mo. 7, 
 1723, says, " I mentioned in my last that Andrew Hamilton designed 
 speedily to come over thither. He now intends to take shipping from 
 New York in the Beaver about the latter end of this month, and I 
 must particularly give you these hints concerning him. He has for 3 
 or 4 years past appeared very hearty in the Proprietor's interest here, 
 notwithstanding it is not his natural disposition to be on the side of 
 those who are accounted great or are in power; but of late he has 
 somewhat recoiled and given more way to nature. He is veiy true 
 when he professes friendship unless he thinks himself sl'gl. ted, which 
 he can not easily brook. He is a very able lawyer, very faithful to 
 his client, and has generally refused to be concerned for any Plaintiff 
 
12 J: Hamilton. 
 
 who appeared not to have justice on his side. He has done many 
 considerable services for our Governor [Sir William Keith], but of 
 late they have openly been at variance, for which reason I am of 
 opinion that he will not appear against the Govr., for he is singularly 
 generous that way. I have been mucii obliged to him, both on my 
 own account and the Proprietor's, and I heartily wish he may be 
 treated there by the family in such a manner as may engage him, of 
 which I am somewhat apprehensive." 
 
 Id 1724, Hamilton, resigned the Attorney-Generalship. Going to 
 England, he there appeared in Chancery for the formal proving of 
 William Penn's will. Returning December 12, 1726, the voyage 
 being twelve weeks from London, there was granted to him for his 
 services to the Penn family one hundred and fifty three acres of their 
 manor of Springettsbury lying North of the City and West of the 
 Wissahickon Road, now Ridge Ave. This received the name of " Bush 
 Hill," and here Hamilton built a country seat. In June, 1727, after 
 the death of Robert Assheton, he was appointed Prothonotary of the 
 Supreme Court and Recorder of the City. He was also in 1727 elected 
 to the Assembly from Bucks County, having a residence in Bristol. 
 In 1729, he was chosen Speaker; and was re-elected annually until his 
 retirement in 1739, with the exception of a single year, when, Gover- 
 nor Gordon and he being " at outs," owing to an unpleasantness be- 
 tween Miss Margaret Hamilton and the Misses Gordon, the Governor 
 exerted his influence against the return of Hamilton to the Assembly, 
 and had him defeated at the polls. The first session of the Assembly 
 which Hamilton attended, was held in a private house, like all pre- 
 ceding sessions had been except when the Friends' Meeting was used- 
 About this time an attempt was made to appoint some other town than 
 Philadelphia as the place of meeting, but Gov. Gordon successfully 
 resisted it. It was afterwards suggested that the dignity of the Pro- 
 vince required a suitable building which might be kept as a perma- 
 nent legislative hall; and in May, 1729, on the passage of a bill for 
 the issuing of paper money, a clause was inserted providing that 2000^. 
 thereof be paid over to Thomas Lawrence, Andrew Hamilton, and Dr. 
 John Kearsley for its erection. Third and Market had beeu men- 
 tioned as the location, but Hamilton, preferring Chestnut between 5th 
 and 6th, purchased the ground in company with William Allen, after- 
 wards his son-in-law, taking title to the various lots composing the 
 present Independence Square in their own names until the government 
 should accept them, and repay the money advanced. Kearsley, who 
 
Hamilton. 125 
 
 had designed Christ Church, furnished a plan and elevation, as did 
 Hamilton, to a Coramittee of the Whole House. Hamilton's design 
 was adopted ; and the site which he proposed, chosen. The ground 
 was broken in the Spring of 1732; from which time the superintend- 
 ence of the work devolved upon him. The next year, two offices 
 adjoining the main building were added to the plan. The room for 
 the Assembly was so nearly finished by September of 1736 as to be 
 used for a grand banquet given by Allen, then retiring from the 
 Mayoralty. In the following month, the first session was held there. 
 Work upon the building went on for several years. Completion was 
 not attained until after Hamilton's death, the room for the Supreme 
 Court not being ready until 1743, nor that for the Provincial Council 
 until 1747. The conveyance to the Province was made by Hamilton's 
 son. 
 
 Chief Justice Tilghman, in the case of Lyle vs. Richards, after 
 speaking of the sufficiency of the early way of getting rid of an entail 
 in Pennsylvania, viz : bringing an action against the executor of the 
 person who had devised in tail, and having the property sold for some 
 debt real or supposed, continues : " But there is another reason why 
 it was so long before either fines or common recoveries were brought 
 into practice. From what I have been able to learn of the early part 
 of the history of Pennsylvania, it was a long time before she possessed 
 lawyers of eminence ; there were never wanting men of strong minds, 
 very well able to conduct the business of the courts, without much re- 
 gard to form ; such, in particular, was Andrew Hamilton, the imme- 
 diate {sic) predecessor of Mr. Francis, and the father of James Hamil- 
 ton the testator. But Mr. Francis appears to have been the first of 
 our lawyers who mastered the technical difficulties of the profession." 
 Of course in the early days of the Quaker emigrants, among whom the 
 best educated men were physicians or schoolmasters, justice was admin- 
 istered by laymen according to their natural ideas of right, and, while, 
 as they found occasion, they aped such judicial forms as the lay public 
 in England had been familiar with, the people wished to be free from 
 the perplexities and chicanery of law and lawyers. They ordained 
 that property should pass by a very simple form of deed, which Judge 
 Gibson gives in the case above referred to, and which shows them to 
 have been ahead even of the present times. They stretched actions 
 beyond their prescribed functions, as appears from the replevin case 
 against the Admiralty ofiScers in Vol. I of the Colonial Records, and 
 
126 Hamilton. 
 
 in 1704 Davie) Lloyd, who may be supposed to have had professional 
 education from the statement by the Assembly one year that he was 
 the only man in the House who was " learned in the law," and who 
 was Andrew Hamilton's predecessor as Attorney-General, disputed the 
 validity of an action of ejectment, because ejectment was a fictitious 
 proceeding, and fictions were not allowable, he said, in Pennsylvania. 
 An early law forbade any one to argue the side of another in the 
 courts for money ; an eiFectual provision against the growth of a bar 
 as long as it remained in force : and it was not until 1722 that the 
 Assembly ordained that " there may be a competent number of persons 
 of an honest disposition and learned in the law admitted by the justices 
 of the said respective courts to practise as attornies there." About the 
 time of William Penn's second visit to Pennsylvania there was a larger 
 influx of well educated people, and in 1706 Robert Assheton, George 
 Lowther, and Thomas Clark are spoken of as " practitioners in the 
 law," although whether they were qualified to practise in the courts of 
 England, we can not say. Before Hamilton's time, however, there 
 were lawyers in the colony who had been trained abroad, and who, if 
 negligent of the nicer forms, were so because they found loose methods 
 already in vogue. Jacob Regnier, " of Lincoln's Inn barrister at law," 
 was here from 1701 to 1714, "William Assheton of Gray's Inn Esq. 
 Judge of the Admiralty in Pennsylvania 1714," has left books marked 
 with his book-plate with that legend, and Peter Evans, called in his 
 will "of the Inner Temple, gentleman," was made Deputy Register of 
 Wills during the administration of his cousin Lieut.-Gov. Evans, and 
 practised until his deatli in 1745, being Hamilton's opponent in many 
 cases. In fact, it was ratiier from the character of the judges than the 
 ignorance of the lawyers that we can derive a reason why common re- 
 coveries were not made use of earlier. From 1717 to 1731, the Chief 
 Justice of the Supreme Court, wliich body had pretty much all the 
 important business to attend to, was David Lloyd, the hater of fictiones 
 jurw, just the man to have refused to allow a proceeding which is ad- 
 mittedly a fraud and dumb show. His successor was Jeremiah Lang- 
 horne, qualified for the position merely, as far as I can learn, by his 
 long service in the legislative body ; and his successor was James 
 Logan, somewhat of an amateur lawyer, because a universal scholar. 
 Perhaj)s Hamilton's fame was due to effective speech-making, per- 
 haps he obtained his monopoly of the law business because he cham- 
 pioned the cause of the poor and the weak and thereby of the many, 
 and, doubtless, we are to take Chief Justice Tilghraan's statement to 
 
Hamilton. 127 
 
 this extent, that he was little versed in the intricacies of special pleading 
 and in the details of that artificial system of remedial justice then be- 
 coming obsolete across the water. But there is nothing to lead us to 
 sup[)ose that he was a mere stump speaker, demagogue, or ignorant 
 reformer who read no authoritative treatises, and did not try to find 
 precedents for his jioints. 
 
 The crowning glory of Hamilton's professional career was the de- 
 fence of John Peter Zenger in 1735, which Hamilton nobly undertook 
 without fee or reward. Zenger was a printer in New York City, and 
 in his newspaper had presumed to criticize the government of that 
 Province, saying, "We see men's deeds destroyed, judges arbitrarily 
 displaced, new courts erected without consent of the legislature, bv 
 which, it seems to be, trials by jury are taken away when a governor 
 pleases; men of known estates denied their votes contrary to the re- 
 ceived practice, the best exposition of any law. Who is there in that 
 Province that can call anything his own, or enjoy any liberty longer 
 than those in the administration will condescend to let him do it? " 
 
 The Attorney-General of New York lodged an information charging 
 him with libel. Zenger's lawyers, objecting to the- legality of the 
 Judges' commissions were stricken from the list of attorneys. Fearing 
 that the advocate, who had thereupon been appointed by the court, 
 might be overawed by the administration judiciary, at the head of 
 which would he Chief Justice de Lancey, a member of the Governor's 
 Council, Hamilton voluntarily went to New York, and engaged in 
 the case. It is reported in the British State Trials. Hamilton ad- 
 mitted the printing and publishing of the article referred to, and then 
 a.sserted the doctrine, novel at that time, that the truth of the facts in 
 the alleged libel could be set up as a defence, and that in this proceed- 
 ing the jury were judges of both the law and the facts. W^e learn 
 from a London letter to the Pennsylvania Gazette that "a Goliath in 
 Learning and Politics" had said of this argument, "If it is not Law, 
 it is Better than Law, it ought to be Law, and Will Always be Law 
 wherever justice prevails ; " and that " the greatest men at the Bar 
 have openly declared, that the subject of Libels was never so well 
 treated in Westminster-Hall as at New York." The offer of evidence 
 to prove tiie truth of Zenger's statements was rejected ; but Hamilton, 
 going back to the origin of trial by jury, when a number of men were 
 drawn from the neighborhood, that they might decide a question from 
 their own knowledge of the circumstances, and be both witnesses and 
 judges, then appealed to the twelve citizens of New York before him 
 
128 Hamilton. 
 
 to say from the evidence which they had met with in their daily lives, 
 for they were familiar with matters of such public moment, that the 
 contents of the defendant's article were not false. An eloquent pero- 
 ration for liberty, calling up examples from history of those who had 
 suffered in its cause, and preventing an unfavorable charge to the jury 
 from Chief Justice de Lancey, brought a verdict of " Not Guilty." 
 The people of New York and the other colonies hailed the result with 
 delight : it insured free discussion of the conduct of public men. The 
 Common Council of the town passed a vote of thanks to the Phila- 
 delphia lawyer, and presented him with the freedom of the city ; and 
 his reputation rose to the highest eminence even in England, the ac- 
 count of the trial being reprinted there four times in three months. 
 
 It was mostly by Hamilton's influence that the High Court of 
 Chancery established by Lieut.-Gov. Keith in 1720, ceased operations 
 in 1735. His enemy Peter Evans said, in a letter preserved in Bp. 
 Perry's Hist. Collections relating to the Church in Pennsylvania, that 
 it was because Hamilton and Plumsted were being sued in it for an 
 attempt to cheat a widow and her orphans. Hamilton was many 
 years a Trustee of the General Loan OiBce, the Province's agency for 
 putting out the paper money, taking mortgages of real estate for its 
 return. In 1737, he was ap|)ointed Judge of the Vice Admiralty 
 Court, the only position which he held at his death. 
 
 His increasing infirmities led to his retirement to private life. He 
 died August 4, 1741. By his will, he gave Bush Hill to his sou 
 James, and a plantation of 300 acres west of the Schuylkill which be- 
 came part of " the Woodlands " to his son Andrew. 
 
 Andrew Hamilton's wife, who died before him, about 1736, was 
 Anne, widow of Joseph Preeson, and dan. of Thomas Brown of Acco- 
 mac by his wife Susannah Denwood of Munny, sister of Arthur Den- 
 wood. Bp. Meade, in his Old Churches &ct. of Virginia, Vol. I, p. 
 255, quotes a record that " Thomas Brown and his wife, though 
 Quakers, were yet of such known integrity that their affirmation was 
 received instead of an oath," and says that the old family seat called 
 Brownsville on the sea shore of Northamj)ton still in possession of an 
 Upshur was the ancient residence of the Browns, who were there 
 visited by some of the more eminent Friends from Philadelphia ; which 
 fact, if Hamilton first lauded in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, would 
 explain how he went to Virginia. A MS. in the handwriting of John 
 Gibson, Mayor of Phila. in 1772, says: "Grandfather Brown mar- 
 ried Susannah Denwood of Munny, the sister of old Arthur Denwood, 
 
Hamilton. 129

 Thomas Preeson of Liverpool and had [ ], Sarah, Susanna, 
 
 Zorobabel, Joseph, Ann, Hannah — Sai-ah was] my mother, Zoroba- 
 bel was Tliomas Preeson's Father, Susannah [was] the Mother of 
 Preeson Bowdoin, the others died without issue. 
 
 "Sarah Brown married Arthur Upshur, who had Abel, who had 
 Arthur, Susannah, John & Caleb and Abigail Mother of Elizabeth 
 Waters. Ann Brown married Josepli Preeson afterwards Andrew

 years of age. He was well educated and delicately brought up. 
 There was a mystery attending him and it was supposed Hamilton 
 was an assumed name. It was said he had killed a person in a duel. 
 His marriage is proof of his standing. He was the first lawyer of his 
 day in Penna. — first in tlie Proprietory Council and most influential 
 with him {sic) — He represented Bucks County many years and tried 
 the great cause in New York in 1722 (sic) against a Printer prose-

 James Hamilton was born about the year 1710, before his parents 
 permanently removed to Pennsylvania. Clarke Hall, on Chestnut St., 
 Philadelphia, it would seem, therefore, was not his birth-place, as 
 Watson asserts, but his residence during a few years of boyhood. 
 After he attained full age, his father resigned the ofiQce of Prothono- 
 tary, and James was invested with it. Andrew Hamilton was a large 
 holder of land in Lancaster County ; and the county town was laid 
 out on his property. Its people elected his son James to the Provin- 
 cial Assembly in 1734, and re-elected him five times. The Corpora- 
 tion of Philadelphia made him one of its members October 2, 1739, 
 and in 1741 advanced him to the dignity of Alderman. The Ad- 
 miralty Judgeship being left vacant by his father's death, it was 
 thought to recommend him to the Crown for that position. An honest 
 man could make little money out of it; but an unscrupulous adven- 
 turer or Court favorite would find great profit in acts of petty tyranny, 
 which would exasperate shippers, and perhaps drive away commerce. 
 A man of Hamilton's independent wealth was therefore desirable; but 
 he declined : not having made the law a branch of his education, he 
 deemed himself unfit. The most prominent of the young bachelors of 
 the city, he was a member of the Saturday Club, which seems to have 
 been about the earliest social institution of Philadelphia : he resided, 
 in what was then handsome style, at Bush Hill, his late father's seat 
 north of Vine Street ; and sealed letters with the Hamilton arms — gu. 
 a mullet between three cinquefoils erm. He was Mayor of the City 
 for the year beginning October, 1745. It had long been the custom 
 
Hamilton — James Hamilton. 131 
 
 for the Chief Magistrate of Philadelphia on leaving the office to enter- 
 tain at a sumptuous repast the geutlemen of the Corporation. His' 
 brother-in-law's banquet on a similar occasion had served to dedicate 
 the newly erected State House, and had given the name of "Banquet- 
 ing Hall " to the Rooms of Assembly. Before and afterwards about 
 fifty of the wealthiest, most cultivated, and by other political offices 
 most distinguished citizens — for such were, indeed, the Aldermen and 
 Councilmen of those days — had annually sat down to dinner with a 
 host who was about to be added to the number of ex-Mayors. But 
 Hamilton conceived a happier idea. He offered October 7, 1 746, to 
 devote a sum of money equal at least to the sum usually spent on this 
 conviviality to the erection of an exchange or other public building 
 that should be of permanent advantage to the inhabitants. The Cor- 
 poration agreeing to it, he gave the Treasurer 150/. (a large estimate of 
 the expense of a dinner) to be put out at interest, and applied to the 
 erection of an Exchange " for the like uses with that of the Royal 
 Exchange of London," or of such other building in Philadelphia as 
 the Mayor and Commonalty should see fit. His examjjle was fol- 
 lowed by other Mayors, whose smaller contributions were probably 
 nearer the actual cost of the entertainment, and a large amount was in 
 the City's hands in 1775, when it was proposed to use it in the erec- 
 tion of a City Hall and Court House, and a committee was appointed 
 for that purpose. While Mayor, James Hamilton was invited to a 
 seat in the Provincial Council, and qualified Jany. 17, 1745-6. 
 
 Hamilton went abroad, and had been enjoying the society of Lon- 
 don, when, in November, 1748, he returned to Pennsylvania, bearinga 
 commission from the Penus as Lieutenant-Governor of the Province 
 and Territories. The appointment of one who had been reared from 
 boyhood within this government, was experienced in its public affairs, 
 and owned large portions of the soil, was very auspicious. His ad- 
 ministration was fortunate until the passage of a bill by the Assembly 
 for the emission of 20,000/. bills of credit. Instructions had been 
 sent, in 1740, by the British Ministry, who feared the unsettling of 
 trade by the inflationist proclivities of the populace, directing the Gov- 
 ernor of Pennsylvania to pass no bills for that purpose without a 
 clause suspending their operation until the Royal assent should be 
 given. Hamilton proposed an amendment to that effect : whereupon 
 the Assembly resolved unanimously that it was "destructive of the 
 liberties derived to them by the Royal and Provincial Charters," the 
 
132 Hamilton — James Hamilton. 
 
 Charter of Charles II having expressly authorized the legislature of 
 • the Province to enact laws which should remain in force five years or 
 until the King repealed them. Hamilton remained firm, considering 
 that these instructions were contemplated in the bond of 2000/. which 
 he had given on his taking office : and his opinion was afterwards 
 coincided in by Ryder, ex-Attorney-General of England. But the 
 disagreement with the Assembly was a means of great embarrassment 
 to the governor, who was anxious to obtain money for military services 
 against the French, and who had sufficient difficulty in prevailing upon 
 the Quakers to allow an appropriation for that purpose, not directly 
 for the war, to be sure, but ostensibly " for the King's use" In the 
 early stage of the quarrel, he asked to be superseded, and Robert 
 Hunter Morris arrived in October, 1754. The latter had no better 
 success with the Assembly, and, while Braddock's army was fleeing 
 before the French and Indians, was obstructed by a proposition to tax 
 the Proprietary estates. 
 
 Hamilton as a member of Council lent his aid to Morris, and when 
 news of Indian outrages arrived at Philadelphia, actively stirred him- 
 self in arranging for defense. He went to Lancaster Nov. 2, 1755, with 
 blank military commissions andadedimus for qualifying such officers as 
 he saw fit to appoint. Sending an Indian scout up the East side of the 
 Susquehannah to gain information, he returned to Philadelphia soon af- 
 ter, and, not standing on his dignity, or consulting his personal feelings, 
 served as one of the Commissioners appointed by the Assembly to 
 spend the money it had voted, but which it would not give into the 
 Governor and Council's hands ; and went with those who had written 
 the Assembly's rancorous messages to him a few years before, to super- 
 intend military affiiirs at Easton. This had become the frontier, the 
 people from the North West having deserted their homes. Joining 
 the Governor at Reading, although it was midwinter, and his health 
 was bad, he went on to Carlisle to enlist certain Indians in the cause 
 of the Province, and heard from his scout that the savages were dancing 
 the war dance, and the Delawares and Shawonese and Susquehannahs 
 had eagerly taken the hatchet. Such labors did Hamilton and his 
 colleagues perform that by the time Hamilton returned to Philadel- 
 phia, it could be told the Assembly that a chain of forts and block 
 houses was almost completed along the Kittatinny Hills from the River 
 Delaware to the Maryland line, and each one garrisoned by from 
 twenty to seventy five men. 
 
 In the Spring of 1759, when Hamilton was again in England, his 
 
Hamilton — James Hamilton. 138 
 
 reappointment as Deputy-Governor was taken into consideration by 
 the Penns. The matter being delayed, he wrote a short note dated 
 London, April 4, to the effect, that, as every one knew he had not 
 solicited it, he was not disposed to recede from the terms on which he 
 had agreed to take it, viz : that he be not restrained from assenting to 
 any reasonable bill for taxing the Propi-ietary estates in common with 
 all the other estates in the Province ; for in his opinion it was no more 
 than just. The commission finally issued bears date July 19; he took 
 the oath before King George II and the Privy Council at Whitehall 
 Aug. 10, 1759; and on November 17 arrived in Philadelphia. The 
 Penns instructed him, first, as was but natural from large property- 
 holders, to use the most prudent means to prevent the Assembly from 
 including any part of the Proprietary estate in any tax raised by it, 
 but, secondly, if a tax on this estate at all were necessary, to levy it on 
 the quit-rents, the tenants paying the tax, and deducting it from the 
 rent; and to make proper arrangements for justly assessing other peo- 
 ple's estates ; and on no account to authorize the sale of Proprietary 
 lands for taxes. The following year, a bill was presented for raising 
 100,000/. The Assembly could not be induced to allow the appoint- 
 ment of commissioners to whom the Proprietaries might appeal in a 
 case of over-assessment; although Hamilton pointed out that the 
 county assessors, to whom alone the Assembly would commit the sub- 
 ject, did not represent the Proprietaries, who had no voice in their ap- 
 pointment, but only the inhabitants who elected them. We here see 
 the Penns crying out against " taxation without representation," or a 
 principle nearly akin to it. In Cumberland County, they had been 
 rated for money to arise on a contingency. Hamilton added that 
 nothing was further from his thoughts than to desire an exemption of 
 the Proprietary estates : " All I contend for is that they may be put 
 upon an equal foot with others." The Assembly adhered to the bill, 
 and Hamilton, finding the money was necessary, gave his assent under 
 protest. He was relieved from office by the arrival of John Penn as 
 Deputy-Governor in 1763. Penn lived with Hamilton at Bush Hill, 
 and was assisted by his council, until the latter was obliged to go to 
 Europe for treatment of a cancerous affection on his nose. 
 
 On his return he took his place at the Council Board, and as Presi- 
 dent administered the government after the departure of John Penn. 
 The five months of this, his third, term of office, were chiefly taken up 
 with the war against the Connecticut claimants. The Proprietary 
 settlers around Wyoming hearing that 500 men under arms were 
 
134 Hamilton — James Hamilton. 
 
 coming to dispossess them, fled to the block house. All endeavors to, 
 succour them failed, and when at last a large body was on its way to 
 raise the siege, the important post was surrendered. Just after this, 
 Richard Penn arrived as Deputy- Governor, October 16, 1771. 
 
 Hamilton took the part expected from so eminent a citizen in the 
 founding of our public institutions, and gave handsome donations to 
 them. He was some years President of the Board of Trustees of the 
 College, and was President of the Philosophical Society when it united 
 with the Society for Promoting Useful Knowledge. At the first elec- 
 tion for President of the new society, Jany. 2, 1769, Hamilton and Dr. 
 Franklin were placed in nomination, the former being the choice of 
 the aristocratic element; but Franklin with his reputation in science 
 and his claim as founder of the Philosophical Society, was very prop- 
 erly chosen. 
 
 Hamilton, as President of the Council, was chief magistrate a fourth 
 term, from July 19, 177.3 to Aug. 30, 1773. A few years later, he was 
 obliged to witness the destruction of Regal and Proprietary authority 
 in America, and, forbidden by his years and his loyally to embark in 
 the Revolution, and share the popularity of its leaders, saw in its suc- 
 cess the vanishing away of his family's claim to office and influence. 
 In August, 1777, he was made a prisoner on parole, but on the 15th of 
 the month, when the officers of Pennsylvania settled on the boundaries 
 within which he was reside, they allowed him the whole extent of 
 Pennsylvania. He lived at Northampton during the occupation of 
 Philadelphia by the British, but, complaining of his banishment from 
 his relatives and friends, when he had taken no active part, and his 
 health being threatened by a return of the cancer on his nose, he had 
 his parole returned to him by the Revolutionary government in April 
 1778, and, on May 4, he obtained a pass through the American lines 
 to go into the city to consult a physician, and remain two weeks, con- 
 ditional, however, on his taking the oath of allegiance. Not long af- 
 terwards, the evacuation of the British dispensed with the necessity of 
 a pass to Philadelphia : and he returned to Bush Hill. He died in 
 New York Aug. 14, 1783, aged 73. He made his will before the 
 Declaration of Independence, taking much pains to settle his large 
 property so as to maintain in wealth and standing the future genera- 
 tions of his name, or, as Judge Duncan said in Lyk v. Richards, in the 
 " vain design that his estate should not be inherited by any human be- 
 ing who breathed the same air with him " and with the " proud view 
 of aggrandizing some unknown son of an unknown ancestor at the ex-

 pense of all his living representatives." Bush Hill and the Lancaster 
 estate and certain lots in Moyamensing were to go to his nephew Wil- 
 liam for life, then to William's eldest sou for life, then to said sou's 
 eldest son, second son, third sou, &ct. successively in tail male aud af- 
 terwards to the second son of William Hamilton for life and to his 
 first, second, third, &ct. sous successively in tail male, and so on until 
 the male issue of AVilliam failed, and then to the heirs of the body of 
 William, and in default thereof to the heirs of the body of William's 
 brother Andrew, and in default thereof with somewhat similar limita- 
 tions to the Aliens, and when the heirs should happen to be females 
 the eldest of them should take it all. He authorized the sale of the 
 Lancaster lots on ground rent and the letting of Bush Hill on long 
 building leases. He left no issue. 
 
 Andrew Hamilton, son of the Councillor, in partnership with 
 AVilliam Coleman carried on an extensive shipping and commission 
 business up to the time of his death. He was Town Clerk of Phila- 
 delphia after the death of Ralph Assheton, and held several other 
 ofiSces. He added 56 acres to the plantation ou the Schuylkill, leav-

 1760. She m. Xt. Ch. Feb. 16, 1733-4 William Allen, son of Wil- 
 liam Allen of Phila., merchant, who seems to have been a native of 
 Ireland, as he mentions in his will his sister Catherine Cally living at 
 Dungannon in Ireland and his uncle William Craige of the same place. 
 William Allen the elder married about 1700 Mary, dau. of Thomas 
 and Susanna Budd, and sister of Rose Budd who ra. Joseph Shippen 
 (see Shippen). William Allen's will, dated July 3, 1725, probat. Sep. 
 13, 1725, mentions only two children, although he had had two 
 others, Thomas and James, baptized in the Presbyterian Church. 
 The eldest surviving son, John, died, it seems, soon after his father 
 and without issue, his mother, who d. Phila. Apr. 20, 1760, not men- 
 tioning him in her will, but leaving everything to William except a 
 few legacies to collateral relations &ct. 
 
 William Allen who married Margaret Hamilton was born Aug. 5, 
 1704, baptized Aug. 17 at the First Presbyterian Church in Phila. 
 The positions which he obtained at a time when lawyers had become 
 numerous in the colony should only have been given to men of legal

 education. That he received this, has been conjectured from the 
 direction in his father's will that £500 sterling be remitted to him in 
 London for his expenses tliere. He was then 21, perhaps studying at 
 the Temple. And Judge Huston in his work on Land Titles, speak- 
 ing of Penn's mortgage of the Province to Gouldney for £6600, of 
 which a deed of Apr. 30, 1724 recites that one-fourth then remained 
 unpaid, tells us, p. 231, "I have heard more than once many years ago 
 that Wm. Allen, a distinguished barrister in London and afterwards 
 Chief Justice of Pennsylvania had furnished money which finally paid 
 off this mortgage, and the books of the Land office show many grants 
 of large tracts of land to him between the year 1733 and 1740." 
 Allen never practised law for any length of time, but, returning to 
 America before Sep. 21, 1726, the date of the merchants' and chief 
 citizens' agreement to take the money of the Lower Counties at their 
 face value, to which his signature appears, he engaged in trade. On 
 Oct. 3, 1727, he was elected a Common Councilman of Phila., but, 
 whether then in the city or not, did not attend until May 16, 1728, 
 the third meeting afterwards. In 1731, he became member of the 
 Assembly, serving until 1739. He joined Andi-ew Hamilton in the 
 project of making the square on Chestnut Street between Fifth and 
 Sixth the site of the State House, and advanced the money for the 
 purchase of certain of the lots, taking title in his own name until the 
 Province re-imbursed him. In October, 1735, he was chosen Mayor of 
 the City; and at the end of his term, the Hall of Assembly, just fin- 
 ished, was opened with the collation customary from an out-going 
 Mayor. The Pennsylvania Gazette of Sep. 30, 1736 says, " Thursday 
 last William Allen Esq. Mayor of this city for the year past made a 
 Feast for his citizens at the Statehouse, to which all the Strangers in 
 Town of Note were also invited. Those who are Judges of such 
 Things say That considering the Delicacy of the Viands & the Ex- 
 cellency of the Wines, the great Number of Guests, and yet the Easi- 
 ness and Order with which the whole was conducted, it was the most 
 grand and the most elegant Entertainment that has been made in 
 these Parts of America." In business, Allen was the partner of 
 Joseph Turner the Councillor, and the profits from commercial enter- 
 prise with the money which Allen and his wife inherited, and the ad- 
 vance in value of laud in which he had invested, made him at the 
 death of his father-in-law one of the rich men, and in after years, not- 
 withstanding his charities, perhaps the richest man in Pennsylvania. 
 He left the Assembly in 1739, thinking with Hamilton that no im-

 portant qiiestious were likely soon to present themselves. The war 
 with Spain, however, followed, and the very important question of 
 voting supplies presented itself. Allen became the head of the anti- 
 Quaker party, contended with Norris for a seat in the Assembly, 
 bringing on the " bloody election of 1742," and with difficulty clear- 
 ing himself of responsibility for the riot (see sketch of Isaac Norris 
 the younger), and, having failed before the people, held the City Cor- 
 poration, of which he had been chosen Recorder on the death of Ham- 
 ilton, to a policy that might strengthen the Governor in his struggle 
 against Norris's friends in the Assembly. 
 
 Allen often acted as Judge of the Orphans' Court and Common 
 Pleas, and continued in theiraportant judicial office of Recorder of the 
 City until Oct. 2, 1750, when, having been appointed Chief Justice of 
 the Supreme Court of the Province, he resigned the Recordership as 
 incompatible with his new duties. He was the only Chief Justice be- 
 fore the Revolution who was a native of Pennsylvania, and the only 
 one before or since excepting Shippen and Sharswood who has been a 
 native of Philadelphia. For nearly a quarter of a century he pre- 
 sided over the Court, says Edw. F. deLancey in his sketch (Pa. Mag. 
 Hist. &ct.. Vol. I, p. 202) " with a dignity, learning, impartiality, and 
 intellectual force, equalled by few, and exceeded by none of those 
 great jurists who have ever adorned tlie ermine of Pennsylvania and 
 made immortal the renown of her supreme judiciary." At the same 
 time he continued in business, and from 1756 until the Revolution 
 was a representative from Cumberland County in the Assembly. His 
 city residence was on King (now Water) Street adjoining his wharf 
 and stores, the pro]ierty being about 76 feet in breadth, and his stable 
 and coach house being across the street and on the East side of Front. 
 About 1750, he established his country seat at " Mt. Airy," a mansion 
 with 47 acres beyond Germantown, since owned by the late James 
 Gowen. In 1765, being owner of 3370 acres in Northampton Co., he 
 laid out the town of Northampton, afterwards called Allentown, Pa., 
 conveying in 1767 the whole estate to his son James. Although a 
 politician often leading a faction greedy for office, Allen was through- 
 out life a man of large public spirit, thinking of the needs of the 
 colony, giving his influence, his time, and his pecuniary aid for its 
 advancement. He was a large contributor to the Pennsylvania Hos- 
 pital, to the College, of which he was one of the original trustees, and 
 to the expedition in search of the North West Passage. Besides the 
 money for the Gouldney mortgage and the purchase of the State 
 
Hamilton — William Allen. 143 
 
 House grouuti, he advanced on one ocoasion a good part of the tax 
 payable by the Proprietaries under a bill proposed for raising revenue, 
 there being a dead-lociv between the Lieut.-Governor and the Assem- 
 bly, the former pressing for money for military uses, and not feeling 
 free to consent to a law which taxed the Proprietary estates, and the 
 Assembly refusing to vote the means of defence unless such taxation 
 were agreed to. The gentlemen of Philadelphia made up the sum 
 ■which it was estimated would have been due from the Proprietaries; 
 and the Assembly passed the necessary money bills. 
 
 Samuel Foulke, in his Diary, tells us that when Sir William John- 
 son's conduct in connection with the Indian treaty of 1762 was criti- 
 cised in the Assembly, " ye Judge bellowed forth such a torrent of 
 obstreperous jargon as might have been heard in a still morning to ye 
 Jersey shore in vindication of Sir William's conduct, in which combat 
 he was extremely chafed, and his lungs so exhausted that he left ye 
 house and appeared no more this year." Nevertheless in the Assena- 
 bly and in the City Corporation, Allen was active, not merely in car- 
 rying out the views of a party, but in promoting objects of general 
 utility ; and as Chief Justice, Mr. deLancey tells us, he gave his services 
 gratuituously, receiving his salary only to appropriate it to charities. 
 During his visit to England in 1763, he achieved a victory for all the 
 American colonies in regard to the bill in Parliament for taxing them. 
 A letter from London to the Pennsylvania Gazette, dated Mch. 24, 
 1764, says : "The 15th Resolution relating to the Stamp Duty, will 
 certainly pass next Sessions, unless the Americans offer a more certain 
 duty. Had not William Allen, Esq : been here and indefatigable in 
 opposing it, and haijpily having made Acquaintance with the first 
 Personages in the Kingdom and the greatest part of the House of 
 Commons, it would inevitably have passed this Session." With 
 other prominent citizens, and followed by his three eldest sons, Allen 
 joined the American Philosophical Society soon after its resuscitation. 
 He was a great friend of Benjamin West, but a strong hater of Ben- 
 jamin Franklin, and after the latter attained celebrity, spoke of him 
 as "that Goliath." He cliarged him with playing double on the 
 Stamp Act while in England. It was a natural antipathy: Allen be- 
 longed to the wealthy, office-holding coterie, whom Franklin had sup- 
 planted in public favor ; Allen in time became the father-in-law of 
 Penn, Franklin the leader of the populace ; Allen was a merchant 
 prince inclined to nepotism and exclusive, Franklin was a satirist and 
 a leveller. In the contention preceding the Revolutionary War, 
 
144 Hamilton — Williarn Allen. 
 
 Allen, his family, and his friends sided with the Colonies ; and he 
 went so far as to donate cannon shot to the Council of Safety ; but he 
 was anxious to maintain union with Great Britain, and labored as 
 member of Assembly for that end. He resigned the Chief Justice- 
 ship in 1774. He was in his seat in the Assembly in the month of 
 June, 1776, when, Bancroft says, John Dickinson (see Norris) pro- 
 mised him before the House that notwithstanding the recall of the 
 instructions to that effect, he and his colleagues in Congress would 
 continue to vote against Independence. After the Fourth of July, 
 Allen seems to have kept quiet, and he may have been out of towu 
 when " disaffection " was taken notice of by the new government. 
 E. F. deLancey says that not long before his death he went to Eng- 
 land. He may have gone abroad in 1776, and returned during the 
 British occupation of Philadelphia. He was in the city on October 
 10, 1778, when a pass was granted to his daughter Mrs. deLancey to 
 visit him there with her small children. His will was dated Apr. 26, 
 1769, and witnessed by Edward Shippen Jr., the Councillor, and 
 Townsend White and Nathaniel Allen. In view of the death of his 
 sons John and James and in order to protect his property from the 
 operation of the attainder of his other sons, he executed in presence of 
 Townsend White, John AVIiite, and Blair McClenachan a codicil 
 bearing date Dec. 1, 1779, by which he devised John's James's and 
 Andrew's shares to their respective children, and William's share to 
 James Hamilton absolutely. He moreover freed all his slaves. In 
 the early part of 1780, the American army needing horses, those of the 
 " disaffected " were seized first, and Allen lost four. On Jufce 8th fol- 
 lowing, " for divers good causes and considerations" he deeded to 
 Edward Shippen Jr. and Tench Coxe all his messuages and lots within 
 the city square bounded by Arch, Sassafras, Second, and Third Streets, 
 reserving to himself an estate for life. 
 
 It has been said that Chief Justice Allen died in London, but he 
 probably died in Philadelphia or at Mt. Airy, from the early date at 
 which his death was known to his friends in the city. He died on 
 Sep. 6, 1780 (Tilghman's Estate, 5 Wh. 44). On the 10th, Jasper 
 Yeates, writing from Lancaster to Col. Burd, says, " By a letter re- 
 ceived from Mr. Parr in Philadelphia we have advice that old Mr. 
 Allen is gone to his long home. Poor gentleman ! He is at length 
 happily removed from all his troubles. His reverse of fortune is a 
 noble lesson of morality in the most prosperous seasons of life." On 
 the 16th of the month, his will and codicil were proved in Philadel- 
 
Hamilton — Allen branch. 145 
 
 phia by the oaths of all the witnesses except Nathaniel Allen, who 
 was deceased.

 was disappointed. At the siege of Pensacola," where one of 
 the men who attempted to desert received the crudest pun-

Hamilton — And7-eio Allen. 147 
 
 Andrew Allen, b. June, 1740, son of Chief Justice Allen by his 
 w. Margaret, dau. of Andrew Hamilton the Councillor, see p. 145, 
 and himself a Councillor, was educated at the College of Phila., since 
 become the Univer-ity of Pennsylvania, and graduated in 1759 with 
 his brother James, and William Pacaof Md., a Signer of the Declara- 
 tion of Independence, Samuel Powel, who was afterwards Mayor of 
 Phila., and some six others ; the second class which proceeded from 
 the institution. He then studied law under the direction of Benjamin 
 Chew, at that time Attorney General, and about July, 1761 went 
 abroad to finish his education at the Temple. Returning home almost 
 exceptionally well educated, he at once took the position in the com- 
 munity placed at his hand by the social and political influence of his 
 father. He was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court Apr. 20, 
 1765. The corporation of Philadelphia chose him as a Common 
 Councilman in October, 1768. On the resignation of Mr. Chew, he 
 was apj)ointed Attorney- General of the Province, and held that oflBce 
 until the Revolution, about seven years. He was invited to a seat in the 
 Provincial Council by his brother-in-law John Penn, qualifying Dec. 24, 
 1770. In May, 1774, he was sent by the Council with James Tilgh- 
 man to Virginia to induce the Governor of that Colony to unite in a 
 petition to the King for a settlement of the boundaries. He was ap- 
 pointed Recorder of Phila. June 25, 1774. About this time, the dis- 
 pute with Great Britain on the subject of taxing the colonies became 
 the all-absorbing topic, and Allen was in unison with the popular 
 feeling even to preparing for resistance. He was one of the founders 
 of the First Troop, Phila. City Cavalry. On Nov. 2, 1774, some 
 twenty-eight citizens, who, it is said, had often met for fox-hunting, 
 formed themselves into this company of Light Horse. They were all 
 men of substantial means, who had something at stake in the fate of 
 their country, and who needed not pay to keep them in the field. 
 Some of them were representatives of the elite, and others afterwards 
 attained such prominence in public affairs as shed lustre on the organi- 
 zation ; but at that time Andrew Allen was the most distinguished 
 man among them. The officers first chosen were : Captain, Abra- 
 ham Markoe (formerly of the Danish island of St. Croix) ; First 
 Lieutenant, Andrew Allen; Second Lieut., Samuel Morris (previ- 
 ously Sheriff of Phila. Co.) ; Cornet, James Mease ; &ct. The company, 
 after serving at its own expense throughout the war which ensued 
 has since maintained perpetual succession, and is now commonly known 
 as the First City Troop. Allen may be presumed to have favored the 
 
148 Hamilton — Andrew Alkn. 
 
 compromise, suggested early in 1775 by the British House of Com- 
 mons, viz : any colony to vote a proper supply, and in consideration to 
 be excepted from each act of Parliament taxing America ; for he was 
 present at the meeting of the Provincial Council which commended it 
 to the favor of the Assembly. This compromise was not accepted : 
 being addressed to the Colonies separately instead of through Con- 
 gress, it asked them to desert each other. It was, perhaps, however, 
 Allen's influence as much as John Penn's incapacity or love of quiet 
 which kept the Penn government from taking a forcible stand against 
 the Whigs. Allen was one of the Committee of Safety appointed by 
 the Assembly June 30, 1775 for tiie defence of the Province : and he 
 was appointed one of the delegates to the Continental Congress. 
 When, however, after active service on the Committee and in Con- 
 gress, he saw that the latter body was only making ready to declare 
 Independence, he withdrew from the cause. He resigned from the 
 Troop in April, 1776, and after June 14, 1776 no longer attended the 
 meetings of Congress, although had he been present on the 1st and 
 2nd of July, he could have prevented the vote of Pennsylvania being 
 given for Independence. His last public office was burgess from 
 Philadelphia to the Assembly, which he was chosen in May, 1776, 
 running as a Moderate, or one in favor of reconciliation with Eng- 
 land. There were four to be chosen and the vote stood : Samuel 
 Howell, 941 : Andrew Allen, 923 : George Clymer, 923 : Alexander 
 Wilcocks, 921 : Thomas Willing, 911 : Frederick Kuhl, 904: Owen 
 Biddle, 903 : Daniel Roberdeau, 890. Clymer was the only one elected 
 of those wished for by the advanced Whigs. These figures show how 
 evenly divided was the populace on the question of Independence. Its 
 advocates, some of the voters having gone to the war, could not get a 
 majority over a good conservative ticket, although Galloway's state- 
 ment that not one fifth of the people desired Independence is evidently 
 wrong as to Philadelphia at least. Christopher Marshall says in his 
 Diary, " I think it may be said with propriety tiiat the Quakers, 
 Papists, Church, Allen family, with all the Proprietary party, were 
 never seemingly so happily united as at this election, notwithstanding 
 Friends' former protestation and declaration of never joining with that 
 party since the club or knock-down Election [of 1742]. Oh ! tell it 
 not in Gath, nor publish it in the streets of Askalon, how the testi- 
 mony is trampled u{)on ! " After the Declaration of Independence, 
 Allen attached himself to the British Army, and was with it at its 
 entry into Philadelphia. In March, 1778, the Pennsylvania Assem- 
 
Hamilton — Andrew Allen. 149 
 
 bly passed an Act of Attainder against him, in consequence of which 
 much of his property was sold. The Treaty of Peace prohibited any 
 future confis'cations, and provided that any persons could come to the 
 United States, and remain twelve months unmolested in their endea- 
 vors to obtain restitution. 
 
 Allen went to England about the close of the War, but visited 
 Pennsylvania in 1792, and remained a few years. The Treaty of 1794 
 with Great Britain provided that British subjects holding land in 
 America, or American citizens holding land in England, should with 
 their iieirs and assigns hold and dispose of tiie same as if natives, and 
 that the United States make restitution for losses occasioned by the 
 non-payment of debts to British subjects contracted before the Peace, 
 to be ascertained by commissioners to be appointed. He endeavored 
 without success to collect tiie money paid to the State on his land con- 
 tracts. He seems to have resided afterwards witii his dau. Mrs. Ham- 
 mond. He d. (Gent. Mag.) March 7, 1825, in Montagu Street, Port-

Henry Brooke. 
 
 Henry Brooke was a grandson of Sir Henry Brooke of Norton 
 in Cheshire, who was created a Baronet in 1662. The family was one 
 of long standing, the ancestor of Henry VIII's time having been 
 SheriiF of Cheshire and a Knight of St. John at Rhodes. Belonging 
 to a younger brancli of the family, public office was sought for Henry 
 Brooke. He had expected the Collectorship of the Port of "New- 
 Castle-on-Delaware," as the chief town of Penn's Lower Counties was 
 called. However, greater influence was brought to bear upon the 
 Lords Commissioners of Customs in favor of Samuel Lowman, and 
 Brooke was made Collector at Lewes, a lesser port. He came over 
 to Penn's dominions to accept this charge in 1702. In 1704, the 
 death of John Bewley, Esq., made a vacancy in the service at Phila- 
 delphia. Col. Robert Quarry, Surveyor-General of the Customs, and 
 Judge of the Admiralty, gave the posiliou to John Moore, a Church- 
 man like himself, who was the annoyance of the Quaker population. 
 Brooke, however, sought the place, and wrote to his friends the bro- 
 ther and sister of Lord Treasurer Godolphin to obtain it from the Com- 
 missioners. (P. & L. Corr.) James Logan asked Penn to endorse the 
 application, saying, " I take him to be a young man of the most polite 
 education and best natural parts that I have known at least before his 
 time, thrown away on this corner of the world." Notwithstanding 
 all this, John Moore's appointment as Collector was allowed to stand ; 
 and Brooke, "a young beau, otherwise well accomplished, and de- 
 serving a better society," remained at Lewes. Probably finding some 
 company among the principal inhabitants of Sussex, he also collected 
 a fair library, and whiled away some leisure hours with poetry. Sev- 
 eral of his pieces have been found at Stenton, with whose proprietor 
 he was a frequent correspondent : and his " Discourse concerning 
 Jests," written in 1705, is published in one of the volumes of Haz- 
 ard's Register. Still Collector of his Majesty's Customs, and " of late 
 a useful magistrate of the County of Sussex," he was called to the 
 Provincial Council to supply the place of Jasper Yeatcs dec'd, and 
 
156 Brooke. 
 
 took the oaths on the 19th day of January, 1721. In 1727, he was 
 again commissioned a magistrate, or Justice of the County Court, of 
 Sussex, and was also appointed one of the six judges of the Supreme 
 Court of the Lower Counties. His position under the Crown did 
 not prevent him from being on good terms with the people : he was 
 elected one of their representatives in Assembly. He became, more- 
 over. Speaker of the House. 
 
 He died in Philadeljjhia on Friday, February 6, 1735-6, and was 
 buried in Christ Church by "general invitation" on the following 
 day. By his will, dated May 1, 1732, he left to James Logan all the 
 Italian books given to him by Gov. Burnet of New York, and ordered 
 Mr. Logan's copy of Lucretius and Italian books to be returned to 
 him: and then, after leaving mourning rings to his "dear sister Mrs. 
 Mary Brooke," to his brother Philip Brooke, and to his kinsman John 
 Plumtre, Esq., he bequeathed his books — of which he had not only 
 English and Latin, but also French and Greek — with his goods and 
 chattels to his countryman William Becket, the missionary at Lewes. 
 Some months after his death, appeared in the Weekly Mercury a 
 poetical apostrophe to his memory, praising the generality of his learn- 
 ing and the sincerity of his religious professions, and containing these 
 
 lines : 
 
 "Good humour, manly wit, a gen'rous mind, 
 " A judgment strong, a fancy unconfined, 
 " A friend to virtue and a foe to vice, 
 "In all lliy conduct regularly nice. 
 " Happy the future age, that once shall see 
 " In all respects a parallel to ihee I " 
 
Thomas Gr^me. 
 
 The illustrious ancestry of the Dukes of Montrose is set forth in 
 Douglas's Peerage of Scotland with the wonted carefulness of that 
 author, and, derived from ancient charters, found in the monasteries or 
 among the Public Archives, is divested of all mythology. The first 
 of the race as far as the antiquary can discover, was 
 
 William de Graham, who is said to have received lands from 
 David I, in whose reign he came into Scotland. He witnessed char- 
 ters dated A. D. 1128 and 1129. 
 
 Ten generations later, Sir William Graham of Kincardine, the 
 head of this powerful family, was one of the commissioners to treat 
 with England, being intrusted with that power in 1406 and 1411. 
 He married twice. The son of his first wife was ancestor of the Gra- 
 hams of Montrose. His second wife was the daughter of King 
 Robert III, a charter dated August 4th, 1420 conveying lands to Sir 
 William and " Mariotse Stewart, sorori (she was niece) Roberti Ducis 
 Albanise, spousse dicti Willielmi." In another charter from their 
 cousin Murdac, Duke of Albany — these Dukes are well known to the 
 readers of the " Fair Maid of Perth " — there is mentioned as their 3rd 
 son 
 
 William Graham, or GRiEME, to whom the barony of Grarvock 
 was granted in 1473. Ace. to Burke's Landed Gentry, he was father 
 of 
 
 Matthew le Gr^me, who succeeded him in 1502, and had 
 
 Archibald Gr^me of Garvock, his son, who fell at Flodden in 
 1513, and was father of 
 
 John Gr^me of Grarvock, who had two sons, viz : James Grteme 
 of Garvock and a John Graham, who possessed the estate of Bal- 
 gowan. The latter was in turn father of a second John Graham of 
 Balgowan. 
 
 James Graeme of Garvock, eldest son aforesaid, we are told, was 
 the father of 
 
 NixiAN, who married in 1606 Elizabeth Oliphant, and had a son 
 
158 Graeme. 
 
 John Gk^eme, wlio married 1638 Agnes Drummoud, and was 
 father of 
 
 James GRiEME of Garvock. The " Inquisition, ad Cap. Dom. 
 Regis Retorn. &ct. Abbrevatio," published by Royal Authority in 
 1811, has this entry concerning hira. "Jan. 9. 1668. Jacobus 
 Grahame de Garvock, hseres Niniani Graham de Garvoek, avi." We 
 also leani that the lands of Balgowan and tlie property of that branch 
 of the family were inherited by him ; he appears (ibid) " Dec. 14. 1677. 
 Jacobus Grahame de Garvock, hseres Joannis Grahame de Balgoway, 
 filii fratris proavi." In 1678, he married Anne Stewart, daughter of 
 John Stewart of Arntullie and Cardneys. Balgowan soon after was 
 in possession of his kinsman, Thomas Graeme. 
 
 According to the pedigree in the appendix to the Life of Lord 
 Lynedoch by Capt. Delavoye, London, 1880, 
 
 John Graeme, second son of John Grseme of Garvock, purchased the 
 estate of Balgowan of Lord Innermeath in 1584, and, the pedigree 
 says, his son 
 
 Joiin Gramme m. Isabel Bonnar, dau. of Ninian Bonnar of Keltic 
 and (instead of dying without issue so that the estate passed to James 
 Graeme of Garvock) was succeeded by his sou 
 
 John Graeme, who m. 1647 Helen, dau of Sir Thomas Blair of 
 Balthayock, and was father of 
 
 Thomas Gr^ME who entailed the estate on his heirs male. (It 
 would seem that his father was in fact no other than John Graeme 
 of Grarvock named in the pedigree in Burke's Landed Gentry and that 
 this Thomas obtained the lands from his brother James after Dec 14, 
 1677, the date of the inquisition.) The sons of this Thomas Gra;me 
 by his 1st wife (whom he married in 1671), Anna, dau. of Sir James 
 Drummond of Machany, are given as follows, viz: 
 
 John, who inherited Balgowan, and was gr'd-father of Lord 
 
 Lynedoch, 
 James and Thomas, who both died young, 
 David, 
 
 Robert, m. Elizabeth, dau. of Sir D. Threiplaud, and whose 
 gr'dson succeeded to the estate on death of Lord Lynedoch 
 in 1843, 
 Dr. Thomas, (this Dr. Thomas was the Councillor), 
 William, 
 
 Patrick, m. Janet Murray of Murrayshall, and whose 
 gr.-grdson. John Murray Graham succeeded in 1859 to the 
 estates remaining entailed.

 The arms of both the Garvock and Balgowan family are : or, 3 piles 
 gii. issuing from a chief sa. charged with 3 escallops or, within a 
 double tressure flory counterflory, to mark the royal descent from 
 Robert III. 
 
 Thomas Ge.eme, the subject of this sketch, " was born at the 
 family seat at Balgowan in Perthshire in North Britain October the 
 20th, 1688." He mentions a brother Peter in a letter to the Penns; 
 and his brother Patrick came to Pennsylvania. A nephew, Capt. 
 Orteme, was here for a short time with the troops that served in the 
 French War. Thomas Grieme chose as a profession that of " Doctor 
 in Physick." His name does not appear in the catalogue of the medi- 
 cal graduates of Edinburgh, but it may be conjectured that he studied 
 at Leydeu, from his testimony in the case of Penu vs. Lord Baltimore 
 that he was there in 1712, and then purchased a certain map. He 
 came to Pennsylvania with Col. William Keith, heir-apparent of 
 Ludquhairn, who had just been appointed Lieutenant-Governor. 
 They arrived in Capt. Annis's vessel. May 31, 1717. Philadelphia 
 had never felt the want of medical learning, although the practitioners 
 were applied to more for the purchase of drugs than to superintend 
 the treatment of the sick. Among the earliest Welsh settlers had been 
 several physicians, the most prominent of whom. Dr. Griffith Owen, 
 died the year of Gramme's arrival. There were also several chirur- 
 geons in the colony, and Dr. Samuel Monckton established a " phar- 
 macopia" in the city. Groeme, with pleasing mannei-s, obtained some 
 little practice, which, as time went on, and population increased, gave 
 him the chief place among a group of physicians by no means con- 
 temptible in abilities, and alumni of the medical schools of Europe. 
 
 Gov. Keith, removing Assheton from tiie Naval Office in 1719, 
 conferred it upon Graeme. Logan notes the fact with these words : 
 *' I acknowledge the young gentleman on whom it is now conferred 
 appears to have merit, but I who know something of the history of 
 his life, am sensible what was his greatest, and that Sherry Moor and 
 a closet prevailed above relation [the only explanation of which seems 
 to be that perhaps Keith or one of his family hid at Balgowan after 
 the battle of Sheriif Muir in Perthshire, November 13th, 1715 ; Logan 
 having opportunities for learning this secret history of the Jacobites 
 from the residence in his house of one Mac Gregor, who took the name 
 of Skinner, who had been wounded on that field — Bp. Perry's Hist. 
 Coll.] I have so much respect for his Assheton's successor M'ho has 
 
160 Grceme. 
 
 now married ovir Governor's daughter-in-law I^iggs that I 
 
 should not begrudge him any favor." Grseme's term of office was not 
 long; but, later iu life, he was again appointed, and was Naval 
 Officer at his death. 
 
 He was sworn into the Governor's Council February 25, 1725-6, 
 and duly became a Master in Chancery. For many years, he was em- 
 ployed, often in company with Dr. Lloyd Zachary, to examine the 
 ships arriving in the port to see whether there were any cases of con- 
 tagious diseases on board. It was during the period of a large Pala- 
 tinate emigration that this inspection was required ; and the Gover- 
 nors had a high estimation of his services. The Assembly, always 
 cavilling at the members of the Governor's Council, had a long con- 
 tention with him on the subject of his fees, and charged him with 
 partiality. He was appointed Third Justice of the Supreme Court in 
 1731 ; and on the appointment of Langhorae as Chief Justice, August 
 9, 1739, became second in rank. His salary was 50^. Pa. money. 
 He resigned in 1750. 
 
 When in Philadelphia, he resided first with Gov. Keith, and then 
 on Second Street, and later on Fourth Street, and at one time in Car- 
 penter's mansion. Chestnut near Seventh ; but his country-house, which 
 may be considered his home, was nineteen miles from the City, off the 
 Doylestown and Willow Grove Turnpike. It is still standing, one of 
 the few vestiges of early provincial grandeur. The seat has been 
 known as "Graeme Park," and, containing originally twelve hundred 
 acres, lay partly iu Bucks, and partly iu what was then Philadelphia, 
 but is now Montgomery County. Lieut. Gov. Keith, his wife's step- 
 father, bought it as wild land in 1718. A road to it was afterwards 
 laid out. The house itself was begun during tlie summer of 1721. 
 (Buck's Map of Montgomery Co.) There is a contract for stone work 
 extant, bearing the date December 12, 1721. After its completion, 
 Sir William Keith, who had succeeded his father as Baronet, lived 
 there in great style. He had seventeen slaves, four horses for his 
 coach, seven riding horses, and nine horses for farm work. In 1731, 
 Sir William, then residing in St. Margaret's Parish, Westminster, 
 conveyed the property to trustees for his wife's use. By deed dated 
 December 22, 1739, Dr. Graeme bought it for 760^. from Joseph 
 Turner, the Councillor, who had bought it from the trustees. It then 
 contained 834 acres, the edifice measuring 60x25 feet, two stories in 
 height, covered by the usual hipped roof. Some years later, its laird, 
 as we may call him, writes, "I have endeavored to make a fine plan- 
 
Grasme. 161 
 
 tation in regard to fields, meadows, and enclosures, not much regard- 
 ing the house and gardens. I have a park which incloses 300 acres 
 of land. This park is managed quite different from any I have seen 
 here or elsewhere : it's very good soil, and one half of it lies with an 
 easy descent to the South sun ; where besides avenues and vista? 
 through it, there is now but just done a 150 acres of it quite clear of 
 shrubbs, grubbs, and bushes, nothing but the tall trees and good sap- 
 ling timber standing. This I harrow, sow in it grass seed, then bush 
 and roll it. I expect it soon capable of maintaining a large stock of 
 sheep and black cattle. It would be one of the finest parks for deer 
 that well could be imagined, but though I have double ditched and 
 double hedged it, I am afraid it is not secure enough against deers 
 escaping. On the other hand, if you consider it as a piece of beauty 
 and ornament to a dwelling, I dare venture to say that no nobleman 
 in England but would be proud to have it on his seat, or by his house." 
 In old age, he enjoyed this prospect enlivened indeed with deer ; and 
 in the main room of the mansion, spacious for the day it was built, 21 
 feet square with its ceiling 14 feet high, his family received the gay 
 and the great of Tory times. 
 
 Dr. Gr£eme was a subscriber to the Pennsylvania Hospital at its 
 foundation, and was one of the physicians from 1751 to 1753. 
 
 He was also the first President of the St. Andrew's Society, founded, 
 for the assistance of Scotchmen, in December of 1749, and was a mem- 
 ber of the Amer. Philos. Society. He died at Graeme Park on Fri- 
 day September 4, 1772, bu. in the yard of Christ Church, Phila., the 
 funeral being Sunday forenoon following, and Provost Smith of the 
 College preaching a funeral sermon (obituary in the Penna. Packet of 
 Sep. 7, 1772). 
 
 He m. Xt. Ch. Nov. 12, 1719 Ann, dau. of Robert Diggs by his

 was Ann Morgan, born in England in 1625, and died in 1697, aged 
 72 years. Her daughter, Ann Newbury, married to Eobert Diggs and 
 afterwards to Sir William Keith, Bart., Lieut.-Gov. of Pennsylvania 
 from 1717 to 1726, was born in the year 1675. She emigrated to 
 America with her husband. Gov. Keith, in the month of May, 1717. 
 She died July 31, 1740, aged 65 years, was interred in Christ Church

 female writers of poetry in America. In about her seven, 
 teenth year, she became engaged to be married to a young 
 gentleman about going abroad to finish his education in the 
 law. The engagement was broken off, says the sketch of her 
 in the Port Folio, reprinted in Hazard's Register, "not with- 
 out much suffering on the part of Miss Gramme." To divert 
 her mind, she translated La Telemaque into English verse ; 
 but her health was weakened, and she was sent abroad under 
 
Grccme. 163 
 
 care of Rev. Dr. Petere the Councillor. Delavoye's Life of 
 Lord Lynedochrfnentions her letter speaking of a letter from 
 her father's nephew, Thomas Graeme of Balgowan, concern- 
 ing the education of his son, afterwards Lord Lynedoch. On 
 her return, her mother being dead, she became head of her 
 father's house, which she made the rendezvous of the culti- 
 vated minds of the Colony. Her paraphrase of the Book of 
 Psalms, written from 1766 to 1768, is in MS. with the Hist. 
 Soc. of Penna. She m. Apr. 21, 1772 Henry Hugh Fergus- 
 son, a native of Scotland, and related to the celebrated 
 philosopher. Dr. Adam Ferguson, says a note to IMemoirs of 
 Hist. Soc. Pa., Vol. I. He resided in Philadelphia until 
 near the Revolutionary War, when he went to England, 
 being styled in a deed of Nov. 26, 1776, "of the City and 
 County of Phila. Esq. now sojourning in London." By 
 that deed his wife and his attorney sold 200 acres of Grseme 
 Park to John Penn. She continued to reside at the man- 
 sion during his absence. He returned to America with the 
 British army, holding the appointment of Commissary of 
 Prisoners ; and she obtained a pass to visit him in Philadel- 
 phia. He was summoned before the Council of Pennsyl- 
 vania as a traitor to the new State, and, not appearing, was 
 attainted. She was on good terms with the Revolutionary 
 officers, and, while she wished for peace even without inde- 
 pendence, was believed to be a sincere lover of her country. 
 She it was who conveyed to Gen. Washington the letter of 
 Duche (see Hopkinson) urging him to return to his allegi- 
 ance to the King, and she communicated to Joseph Reed the 
 statement of Gov. Johnstone that if a reunion of the two 
 countries were effected through Reed's influence, that gentle- 
 man could command ,£10,000 and any Colonial office in the 
 King's gift, to which Reed replied that the King of Great 
 Britain had nothing within his gift to tempt him. The 
 government of Pennsylvania refused in November, 1778, to 
 allow her to go to New York to bid her husband farewell ; 
 and she never saw him afterwards. Grseme Park was 
 seized as his property by the agents of forfeited estates, but 
 upon her petition, the Assembly postponed the sale of it dur- 
 ing her lifetime, and she was allowed to remain there free of 
 rent to the State. In the latter part of her life, she was very

 War, he enlisted on the side of the Colonies, being made a Captain in 
 August, 1776, and afterwards becoming Wagon-Master of Pennsyl- 
 vania. He was also a Justice for the City and Co. of Phila. under 
 the new government. He d. Jany. 28, 1779, aged 50 yrs., and was

 Howe for a commission in the army, says (Sabine's Loyal-

 acter in the Colony of Pennsylvania, puts himself under 
 your protection. His loyalty to his Sovereign induced him 
 to fly from persecution." In 1780, he purchased a Lieu- 
 tenancy in the 42nd Foot, and was in the 60th in 1787.

Clement Plumsted. 
 
 The family of Plumsted belonged to the County of Norfolk, the 
 crest marked on silver of tlie Councillor's son is given in Bnrke's 
 Armory in connection with arms granted to Nathaniel Plumsted of 
 that County in the 15th year of Elizabeth. Among the proprietors 
 of East Jersey associated with William Penn was a Clement Plum- 
 sted, citizen and draper of London. His heir at law was Robert 
 Plnrasted, who appears to have been a merchant in London iu part- 
 nership with his son Thomas, who succeeded hira in business, and 
 whose death is noted in the Gentleman's Magazine. There was a 
 Francis Plumsted of the Minories, Li>ndon, ironmonger, one of the 
 first purchasers from Penn ; and a Matthew Plumsted was in Phila- 
 delphia about 1699. 
 
 Clement Plumsted the Councillor was born in the year 1680, as 
 appears from the declaration in his will as to his age, and is said to 
 have been a native of Norfolk. He was a resident of Philadelphia 
 when he attained his majority, or, at least, very shortly afterwards. 
 He is never described in deeds as following any other business than 
 "merchant," and was nearly all his life one of the wealthiest citizens. 
 In 1714 he became entitled by deed from Robert Plumsted to the pro- 
 prietaryship in East Jersey which descended from the earlier Clement 
 Plumsted. He was one of the executors of Edward Shippen Jr.'s 
 will, and, perhaps owing to his Jersey affiliations, he was the most 
 intimate friend of Andrew Hamilton, being connected with him ia 
 real estate transactions before that gentleman of romantic history came 
 to Pennsylvania. For twenty years and more afterwards, they were 
 concerned together in land speculations from which they derived large 
 profit. 
 
 Plumsted was made a Common Councilman of Philadelphia in 1712, 
 and, having in due time been raised to the rank of Alderman, was 
 chosen in 1723 to succeed James Logan as Mayor. Before the close 
 of his term he went over to England, taking his son with him, but 
 returned in the course of a year. He was a member of the Provin- 
 
168 Flumsied. 
 
 cial Assembly for several sessions. He was included in Ihe Commis- 
 sion of the Peace issued in 1717 for holding the Court of Common 
 Pleas, Quarter Sessions, and Orphans' Court for Philadelphia County. 
 The most reliable men were of course selected, and in place of law- 
 yers, of which there were very few at that early date, were substituted 
 the most intelligent and honorable merchants. Among his colleagues, 
 therefore, were four prominent members of the Governor's Council 
 together with the Mayor and Recorder of the City ex officio, and a 
 former Mayor, and a former Judge of the Supreme Court. By new 
 commissions issued in 1726 and 1732, on the expiration of the old 
 ones, he was continued in this public trust, ever growing in import- 
 ance with the increase of wealth and population. In 1736, he was 
 again Mayor of the Cit)', and, a third time, in 1741. 
 
 His admission to the Governor's Council was on the 5th of May, 
 1727, and his qualification as a Master in Chancery on the 25tli of 
 July, 1730. Although a Quaker, his views were rather influenced by 
 Hamilton and Allen, and as the breach widened between the Lieuten- 
 ant-Governor and the " Norris party," he showed little sympathy with 
 the latter. Hence George Thomas's remarks about him in the letter to 
 the Proprietaries quoted in our account of William Plumsted. He 
 says, "Old Mr. Plumsted is a very sensible man and a very sincere 
 friend to your family and to me, and if I thought it would oblige him, 
 I would immediately nominate his son, but I do not think it will. He 
 and Mr. Logan (who never attends the Council but now and then on 
 Indian affairs) have advised me to break the whole Council." 
 
 In company with David French and two gentlemen from Maryland 
 he was commissioned by the English Court of Chancery in 1740 to 
 examine witnesses in Pennsylvania and the Lower Counties in the 
 case of Penn vs. Lord Baltimore. Rev. Richard Peters the Councillor 
 lived some time with Plumsted, and Richard Hockley, a proteg6 of 
 Thomas Penn, and afterwards Keeper of the Great Seal of the Pro- 
 vince, was, after coming to Pl)iladel])hia, clerk in his counting house. 
 
 Clement Plumsted died May 26, 1745, and was buried in Friends' 
 Burial Ground on the same day. His will was dated Jan. 24, 1744-5, 
 " in the 65th year of my age." He mentions his town lot in Amboy 
 and lands near Amboy and Woodbridge in East Jersey and lands iu 
 Kent County on Delaware and the Tulpaliawkin Mine Land and Pid- 
 cock's Land and Mine, leaving them to his son. He left the tract 
 lying on Crosswicks Creek in East Jersey which he purchased of 
 Robert Plumsted, the southermost part of his bank lot and his part in 
 
Plumsted. 169 
 
 Durham Iron Works to his gr'dson Thomas, and other properties in- 
 cluding city houses and lots to his two granddaughters, Elizabeth 
 and Rebecca, and directed that all the sterling money that should be- 
 long to his gr'ddau. Elizabeth should be placed in the hands of his 
 cousin Thomas Plumsted of London for investment. He gave lega- 
 cies to his cousins Clement Hall and others, — descendants of Sarah 
 Plumsted who m. William Hall of Salem, N. J., — and 50/. to Samuel 
 Powell to be divided between ten poor housekeepers as he should see 
 fit, five of them to be Friends and five of other persuasions. He also 
 gave 5s. to every poor person in the Alms House. He appointed his 
 wife Mary and son William Executors and his friends William Allen, 
 Samuel Powell Jr., and Richard Peters or any two of them trustees. 
 The will was witnessed by Edward Shippen, Joseph Shippen, William 
 Coxe, and Joseph Brientnall.

 as to whose antecedents we have a clue in Anthony Palmer the Coun- 
 cillor being a witness to the marriage, probably as a brother ; and he 
 
 m., 3rd, Mary (probably Corry), who was great aunt of the 
 
 wife of John Nixon ^see Pa. Mag. Hist. &ct.. Vol. I). She survived 
 the Councillor.

 William Plumsted, the only child of the Councillor who attained 
 full age, was born Nov. 7, 1708. In 1724, he was taken abroad by 
 his father. He subsequently became his father's partner in business, 
 and continued in trade after his father's death. He became a Com- 
 mon Councilman of the City in .1739. And on his return from a 
 voyage to England in 1741, it being suggested to call him to the Pro- 
 vincial Council, Gov. Thomas wrote to Mr. Penn : "Will Plum- 
 
170 Plumsted. 
 
 sted is a very worthy young man : but as his Fatlier is in the Council 
 he will be always looked upon as under his influence and so can give 
 no reputation to the Board : besides it is both your Brother's opinion 
 and mine that he would not accept of it." 
 
 On the death of Peter Evans, a lawyer from tlie Inner Temple, in 
 1745, the office of Register-General of Wills for the Province became 
 vacant, and, at Clement Plumsted's solicitation, it was given to Wil- 
 liam Plumsted, although, Richard Hockley writes, it was thought 
 remarkable that a wealthy man would take it. Plumsted held the 
 office until his death. He was also many years a County Justice. 
 When about middle age, he renounced Quakerism ; so we find him a 
 subscriber to the Dancing Assembly of 1748, the first ever held in 
 Philadelphia. Later on, he was one of the principal founders of St. 
 Peter's Church. He heads the petition to the Peuns for a site in 1754, 
 although, to be sure, being so prominent a man, he would have been 
 asked to sign first, he contributed to the building fund, and with 
 Attwood Shute, John Wilcocks, Jacob Duchc, and Thomas Penrose 
 took title to the lot at 3rd and Pine by deed from the Proprietaries in 
 trust for the congregation. In 1761, when the structure was finished, 
 he was elected vestryman, and became the first accounting warden. 
 He was also one of the original twenty-four trustees of the College 
 which has since grown to be the University of Pennsylvania. He was 
 three times Mayor of Philadelphia, in 1750, 1754, and 1755, at the 
 end of the first term donating the City 75/. instead of the entertain- 
 ment expected from a retiring Mayor. 
 
 He came forward with Chief Justice Allen and others in 1755 to 
 pay the sum expected to be derived from the tax on the Proprietaries' 
 estates, when the Assembly was refusing to pass any bill for raising 
 money for defence that excused them from contributing, and the Gov- 
 ernor dared not pass any law that made them contribute. In 1757, 
 Plumsted was a member of Assembly from Northampton Co. 
 
 William Plumsted died August 10, 1765, and was buried in St. 
 Peters' Church-yard. 
 
 His will, dated Oct. 24, 1760, recited that " whereas my Father 
 Clement Plumsted did by his last will and testament give and bequeath 
 unto my daughter Elizabeth Plumsted (now Elliott) and to my daugh- 
 ter Rebecca Plumsted (now Gore) and to my son Thomas Plumsted a 
 very large part and portion of his estate and since his my said Fath- 
 er's death by my intermarriage with my now wife I am favored with 
 a new offspring of children " he had it not in his power to make said 
 
Plumsled. 171 
 
 three children large bequests. He therefore gave 50/. each to Eliza- 
 beth Elliott and Rebecca Gore, and 100/. to Thomas Plumsted, and all 
 the residue to his wife and her children, his executors to have power 
 to sell all his real estate: provided that if tiie mine in whicli he was 
 interested should turn out valuable, and net proceeds in wife's hands 
 amount to 2000/., then 500/. should be added to the bequest to Thoma.s 
 Plumsted, and 200/. to bequests to Elizabeth Elliott and to Rebecca 
 Gore.

Thomas Griffitts. 
 
 Thomas Griffitts was the son of George and Frances Griffitts of 
 the city of Cork, the Three Weeks Men's meeting of that place giving 
 him a certificate of his "clearness in respect to marriage" 8mo. 16, 
 1716. At that date he was residing on the bay of Donna Maria in 
 Jamaica, bnt about to remove to Pennsylvania. The meeting at 
 Kingston also gave him a certificate 11, 21, 1716, and his parents 
 wrote from Cork to Isaac Norris and Jonathan Dickinson to desire 
 them " to be assisting in that weighty affair." He became a merchant 
 in Philadelphia, and in 1717 married Mary, daughter of Isaac Norris. 
 Not long afterwards he became a member of the Corporation of the 
 City, and in due time served a term as Mayor. In 1723, he was ap- 
 pointed Treasurer to the Trustees for the Society of Traders ; and in 
 172-1 the Widow Penn and the mortgagees of the Province associated 
 him with Hill, Norris, Logan, and Assheton to make sale of land, and 
 to issue warrants and patents for land sold during the first Proprie- 
 tary's lifetime ; and Norris and GrifiBtts and the survivor of them were 
 designated to receive the moneys in case of the death or removal of 
 Logan. Griffitts was Keeper of the Great Seal from 1732 to 1734, 
 and on Oct. 27, 1733 took the affirmations as a member of the Gov- 
 ernor's Council. He was appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court in 
 1739, resigning in the beginning of 1743. He d. in 1746, his will 
 being probat. Jany. 16, 1746-7.

Charles Read. 
 
 Charles Read, a merchant of Philadelphia, member of the Church 
 of England, but much respected by the Quakers, an Alderman upon 
 the incorporation of the City in 1701, and its representative in the 
 Assembly of the Province in 1704, who seems to have been of the 
 same family as the Deborah Read who m. Benjamin Franklin, as the 
 latter was spoken of as " Cousin Benny " by the Councillor's grand- 
 son, Collinson Read, and who died about 1705, by his first wife was 
 father of 
 
 Charles, the Councillor. 
 He married, 2nd, Amy Child, by whom he had issue : 
 
 Sarah, m. James Logan the Councillor, 
 
 Rachel, m. Israel Pemberton. 
 
 Charles Read, born about the year 1686, was not of age at the 
 date of his father's will. On the 13th of May, 1717, when about 
 thirty one years old, he appears in the public records as "Charles 
 Read, shopkeeper," admitted a freeman of the City of Philadelphia. 
 He was charged for the privileges 5s. Qd. On the 9th of August fol- 
 lowing, he qualified as a Common Councilman. He was one of the 
 Justices of the Peace for Philadelphia County commissioned July 4, 
 1718, and was promoted to the half-legislative, half-judicial rank of 
 Alderman on October 2, 1722. In the following year, the Assembly 
 vested the property of the Free Society of Traders with a power of 
 sale in five trustees, and placed Charles Read at their head. In 1724 
 appears this advertisement : " Very good lampblack made and sold 
 (wholesale or retail) by Charles Read and Andrew Bradford, iu Phila." 
 There was a "Charles Read of Philadelphia merchant" connected 
 with John Assheton of Liverpool, also merchant, iu some land pur- 
 chases between 1720 and 1725 : and Charles Read Esq. — he was then 
 Mayor of the City — was made guardian for William Assheton's child- 
 ren on the death of their grandfather Robert Assheton in 1727. Read 
 was Mayor of Philadelphia for one year. He was Sheriif of the 
 
186 Read. 
 
 County for three terms beginning October, 1729. The Sheriffs and 
 Coroners at that time were selected from two names for each office 
 presented annually to the Governor and Council by the people of the 
 respective counties. Read was Collector of the Excise for some time 
 prior to 1734, and was one of the Trustees of the Loan Office. He 
 also held the high post of Judge of the Admiralty. 
 
 He was qualified as a member of the Provincial Council on the 27th 
 day of October, 1733. In addition to his offices in Pennsylvania, he 
 was at the time of his death (Obit. Not.) Collector of the Port of 
 Burlington in New Jersey. He died after a lingering illness on the 
 6th of January, 1736-7 in the 51st year of his age (ibid). Bradford, 
 who had been engaged with him in the sale of lampblack, noting his 
 death in the Weekly Mercury, said "he has left behind him tiie 
 character of a sincere Christian, tender husband, indulgent father, kind 
 master, faithful friend, good neighbour, and agreeable companion."

 which he was appointed Collector of the Customs at Burlington. He 
 became a lawyer, and was admitted to practise before the Supreme 
 Court of Pennsylvania Oct. 10, 1753. About 1760 he was appointed 
 an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, and, after 
 the death of Chief Justice Robert Hunter Morris in 1764, presided 
 over the Court for several months, then retiring to his former rank of 
 Second Judge. He continued in this station and also the Collector- 
 ship until the Revolution, and was several times elected Mayor of 
 Burlington. He was a member of the American Philosophical 
 Society held in Philadelphia. In 1776, he was chosen Colonel of the 
 second regiment raised in the County for the defence of the Province, 
 and was a deputy to the Covention to frame a new Constitution, 
 and on July 18th was made Colonel of a battalion of the flying camp, 
 which he commanded in December of that year, when he availed him- 
 self of the British general's proclamation offering pardon and protec- 
 tion to such as should within a certain time lay down their arms. 
 Bancroft the historian's mistake in supposing the mention of Charles 
 Read's submission in Count Dunop's diary referred to Joseph Reed of 
 Pennsylvania gave rise to one of the most bitter controversies connected 
 with our Revolutionary history. Read was captured by the Ameri- 
 cans soon after his submission, and sent to Philadelphia, whither he 
 was removed to North Carolina, where he is said to have died before 
 the end of the war. He m. June 11, 1737 Alice, dan. of Jacob Thi-

 James Read, b. about the beginning of 1718 (the baptismal records 
 of Christ Church from Mch., 1717-8 to Jany., 1719-20 are missing) 
 was probably just past twenty one on Jany. 29, 1739, the date of a 
 deed from him for one-fourth of certain property which had belonged 
 to his mother. He became an admirer and a friend and correspond- 
 ent of the Rev. George Whitefield, and as early as 1740 we find him, 
 under the designation of " James Read of Phila. gent," a trustee with 
 Whitefield, William Seward of London, Esq., John Stephen Benezet 
 of Phila., merchant, Thomas Noble of N. Y., merchant, Samuel 
 Hazard of N. Y., merchant, Robert Eastburne of Phila., blacksmith, 
 Edward Evans of Phila., cordwainer, and Charles Brockden, the Re- 
 corder of Deeds of Phila. Co., of the lot on the West side of Fourth 
 St. 100 ft. South of Mulberry, 150 ft. front x 198 ft. deep, for the erec- 
 tion of a charity school and house of worship, one object of which was 
 to afford Mr. Whitefield a place to preach in. The building had been 
 completed all but the roof, when Whitefield, in November of that year, 
 used it for about two weeks. Nine years later Benezet, Read, and 
 
Read. 189 
 
 others, being a majority of the surviving trustees, caused the property to 
 be conveyed for 775/. 18s. lid. S/ar., with whicli to pay off certain 
 advances, to James Logan and others, who are usually denominated the 
 founders of the University of Pennsylvania, to be used as a free school 
 for the instruction of children in useful literature and the Christian 
 religion, with the right to establish a seminary of the languages, arts, 
 and sciences, and as a place of worship wherein Mr. "Whitefield should 
 be allowed to preach whenever he was in the city and so desired, and 
 the trustees should introduce such preachers to teach the word of God 
 as should subscribe to the articles of religion appended to the deed of 
 conveyance ; which articles declare belief in the Trinity, the Atone- 
 ment, and Justification by Faith, and end in affirming the IXth, Xth, 
 Xlth, Xllth, Xirith, and XVIIth Articles of the Church of Eng- 
 land " as explained by the Calvinists in their literal and grammatical 
 sense." James Read became a lawyer, and was some time Deputy 
 Prothonotary of the Supreme Court of the Province. After practising 
 in Philadelphia, he removed to Reading as Recorder, Deputy-Register, 
 Prothonotary of Common Pleas, &ct. for Berks Co. Also a Justice 
 for the County Courts, he may be said to have conducted the adminis- 
 tration of law in that region for over a quarter of a century. He was 
 a scholarly man, a pupil of John Bartram, and a correspondent of 
 Peter Collinson, after whom he named his son. His letters to Ed- 
 ward Shippen of Lancaster during the course of twenty years, now in 
 possession of the Historical Society, are those of a country gentleman 
 who turns from his gardening and his observation of nature to give his 
 views on education and politics, and criticize current French and 
 English books. He spent some time in London with Whitefield, and 
 there became intimate with the Wesleys. He himself was a very 
 religious man, and much interested in the Episcopal Church at Reading. 
 At the commencement of the Revolution, although sympathizing 
 with his countrymen, he had the office-holder's horror of independ- 
 ence. To Edward Shippen he writes this remarkable opinion : " Lord 
 North has some Pretensions to the Throne. His ancestor mai-ried 
 Lady Jane Grey. [Does he refer to Lord North being heir of a co- 
 heiress of a daughter of Lord Chandos, who was heir of Lady Jane 
 Grey's sister?] The present King, whom they lead as they like, is 
 hated, mortally hated, by all in Administration, and they have led 
 him into such measures as have alienated the Affections of America 
 and (if they can carry their Point of Independence) will entirely over- 
 throw him. Perhaps you don't know, Dr Sir, that this Independency 
 
190 Read. 
 
 so much the subject of Discourse of late is a Scheme of Lord North's. 
 It certainly is. Tho' Wedderburne makes a noise against it ; St. 
 Tucker, a ministerial Tool, has wrote in Favour of it." However, 
 before long, Read came to the conclusion that the people of America 
 were not bound to live under a " perjured Parliament ! " At the re- 
 organization of the government of Pennsylvania, he was restored to 
 the office of Prothonotary, an Act of Assembly also naming him as a 
 Justice of the Peace. In Oct., 1777, he was chosen a member of the 
 Assembly, during his service in which he was accused of neglecting 
 the business of Prothonotary. It was said that the writs were not 
 issued : but Read denied that his being an Assemblyman had in any 
 way retarded the proceedings of the court, and explained that the rea- 
 son why court was not held regularly was the scarcity of lawyers in 
 the county. While in the Assembly he was chosen a member of the 
 Supreme Executive Council, but, as Assemblymen were ineligible, a 
 writ was issued May 25, 1778 to the Sheriff of the county for the 
 election of a successor. Read himself was chosen, and on June 30th 
 appeared at Philadelphia, and took the oath required by the Constitu- 
 tion. The term expiring in October, he was re-elected for three years, 
 and served until June 4, 1781, when he resigned "in consideration of 
 duty to his family." The post of Register of the Admiralty was at this 
 time to be filled, and several persons petitioned for it ; the method 
 employed by those desiring public positions from the earliest days of 
 the Colony. Read was a petitioner, and the Council unanimously 
 elected him. He qualified June 7, 1781, and held the office several 
 years. 
 
 In 1783, he was one of the Council of Censors provided for by the 
 Constitution of 1776 to be ciiosen once in seven years to propose amend- 
 ments to the Constitution. From 1787 to 1790 he again represented 
 Berks in the Supreme Executive Council . One year also, 1787- 
 1788, he was a member of the Continental Congress, when that body 
 was of more eminence than power. However Read's term was 
 marked by one important achievement, the acquisition by Pennsyl- 
 vania of the triangle on the North West, giving us a harbor and coast 
 line on Lake Erie. This was ceded by Resolution of Congress Sep. 
 4, 1788. Read for some years of the latter part of his life lived in 
 Philadelphia, where he died of the yellow fever in 1793. He m. Xt.

 William Till. 
 
 William Till was probably born in England. In his letters, we 
 are told of a debt which the Earl of Yarmouth (Charles Pastou, 
 created Earl in 1673, d. s. p.) owed to his grandfather and father; 
 and he says, " I am well acquainted with the papers and was sent too 
 often to the Old Earle to forget them." In 1740, being about 43 
 years of age, he makes a deposition in the case of Penn vs. Lord Balti- 
 more, saying among other things that he had never known William, 
 Hannah, or Dennis Penn. He settled about 1720 in Sussex Co. on 
 the Delaware, probably as a planter. He served in the Assembly of 
 the Lower Counties, and was appointed, July 25, 1726, a Justice of the 
 Peace, but on September 23 following, was superseded for alleged arbi- 
 trary acts and "most indecent and disregardful expressions of the 
 
Till. 195 
 
 Proprietary family." However, in March, 1727, he was reinstated, 
 ^' liaving acknowledged liis error and done very good service to the 
 Proprietary family in the last Assembly." He afterwards came to 
 Philadelphia, and engaged in trade, being concerned in cargoes to many 
 ports, but chiefly shipping tobacco raised on the Peninsula. In 1739, 
 he was chosen a Common Councilman of the City; two years later, 
 an Alderman ; and in 1742, Mayor. He was called to the Provincial 
 Council with Strettell and Taylor, qualifying Dec. 14, 1741. For 
 several years he was Third Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl- 
 vania, and Second Judge of the Supreme Court of the Lower Counties. 
 At the same time, from 1748 until his death, he was Collector of Cus- 
 toms at New Castle. He d. in 1766. He m. Xt. Ch. Jany. 7, 1720 
 Mary Lillings, spinster, who survived him. Considerable property 
 was left to their children by her grandmother, Mary Codd of Sussex 
 ■Co., widow of Berkeley Codd, a Judge of the Supreme Court of the 
 Lower Counties (see sketch of Andrew Hamilton the Councillor). Her 
 first husband was Luke Wattson Jr., who was probably the grand- 
 father of Mrs. Till. He appears to have been a son of Luke "Wattson 
 Sr., a representative in the Provincial Council of 1683, and, therefore, 
 brother of Elizabeth, wife of the first Anthony Morris of Phila. Mrs. 
 Till was nearly related to Col. Matthew Tilghman Ward, Pres. of the 
 Council of Maryland.

Robert Strettell. 
 
 Egbert Strettell was a native of Ireland ; a country which 
 furnished Pennsylvania with several of its wealthier emigrants : but 
 his father had removed thither from Cheshire, where the grandparents 
 of the Councillor had been early members of the Society of Friends. 
 That they were people who could show a respectable family connec- 
 tion may be assumed from the fact that their descendant, Abel Strettell 
 of Dublin, merchant, temp. James II, was allowed by the Ulster Office 
 to carry a coat-of-arms exactly like that borne by others of the name 
 — sa., a chevron between 3 heads of tridents points downwards ar. ; 
 crest, a swan in his j^i'ide ar. swimming in water ppr. — and but a 
 slight heraldic difference from the arms, sa., a chevron between 3 har- 
 poon heads ar., and the crest, a swan wings expanded ar., belonging to 
 the eai'lier name of Strattle ; and also from the arms, sa. a chevron 
 between 3 eel spears ar., of the still more primitive name of Stratley 
 or Stratele. The derivation of the name is explained to be : Strete 
 (Lat. stratum, a road) and hill or hull (Sax.), the original seat in the 
 parish of Rostherne, Cheshire, being just where the old Roman road 
 from Manchester to Chester meets the high ground. 
 
 The great-grandfather of Robert Strettell was Thomas Strettell 
 of Blakley, b. in 1598, d. Aug., 1657, m. Jauy., 1619 Margaret Graffitt 
 of Alderley. 
 
 His son Hugh Strettell was b. 1622, and was first of Blakley and 
 afterwards of Saltersley. He m. 1662 Mary, dan. of Francis Hulnie. 
 
 Hugh Strettell (who d. 7mo. 5 d. 1671) and Mary hia wife (who d. 
 7mo. 11, 1662), both buried in Friends' Ground, Mobberly, Cheshire, 
 were parents of 
 
 Amos Strettell b. 1658, who removed to Dublin in 1678-9, and 
 m., 1st, Anne, dan. of Roger and Mary Roberts of that city. She died 
 llmo. 8, 1685-6, about two years after her marriage, and was buried 
 in Friends' Ground. He. m., 2nd, at the house of his bride's father 
 at Lambstowne, Co. Wexford, 1 mo. 23, 1692-3, Experience, dan. of 
 Robert Cuppiage (born Cumberland, Eng., 1619) and Elizabeth, his 
 
Strettell. 197 
 
 wife, dau. of Joshua and Sarah 'NVarreu of Colchester. He bouglit 
 5000 acres of land in Pennsylvania, and was owner of large tracts in 
 New Jersey, over which his cousin Amos Ashead exercised a kind of 
 superintendence (Logan's Letter Book). A daughter of Amos Stret- 
 tell m. John Barclay, son of Robert Barclay the Apologist. By his 
 2nd wife, Amos Strettell was fatiier of the Councillor, 
 
 Robert Strettell, born in Dublin in 1G93. He left Ireland to 
 seek his fortune in the metropolis of the British Empire, where he re- 
 mained about twenty years, but, losing a great deal of money in the 
 South Sea Bubble, he was finally by the assistance of his friends sent 
 to America. The certificate of removal for himself and wife and son 
 Amos and daughters Frances and Ann was from the Friends' meeting 
 at Horslydown, Southwark, dated 11, 26, 1736. ^yilliam Black in 
 his Journal, June 1st, 1744, says : " Mr. Strettell carried us to Ger- 
 " mautown about a mile further, where he had a little country house 
 ^'to which he used to come and spend some part of the Summer 
 " Months, his wife was then there. * * Mr. Strettell had not been 
 " long in Philadelphia, he came over from London with a cargo of 
 " goods about 9 years since, and had very good success in trade, he 
 ^' was one of the Friends, but seemed not much aifected to their under- 
 " hand way of Dealing and Cloak of Religion, he, I really do believe, 
 " appeared what he really was, a very Honest Dealer and sincere in 
 ''every thing he acted." The "merchant" of his day exposed a 
 variety of wares; and in a news])aperof 1738, we find, "late imported 
 and to be sold by Robert Strettell at his store in Water Street, facing 
 Fishbourn's wharf," muslin, cambrics, " flowered damask," India vel- 
 vet, blue and white China plates, Japanese tea kettles, Scotch snuff, 
 " fine London Pigtail tobacco," &ct. &ct. The year 1738 is within a 
 period of three years during which the imports of Pennsylvania 
 amounted to 179,654£. 9s. 2d. Stg. (Votes of Ass.) Like the other 
 more conspicuous Quakers, he was fond of literature, sufficiently at 
 least to collect a little library of Greek, Latin, and French authors. 
 He became a public character in 1741 as a man of liberal views. 
 Spain was at war with Great Britain, and, it was feared, would attempt 
 the conquest of the American colonies. The Quakers of Pennsylvania 
 could not take up arms, and it was equally against their scruples to 
 vote money to earrv on war. Circumstances made tiiem a strong party 
 organization. The Yearly Meeting gathered their chief men together 
 just before the elections for Assemblymen, and it was but natural that 
 they should compare notes, and consult on the ])olitical situation. 
 
198 Strettell. 
 
 These conclaves became tlie dread of the Proprietary, or Lieutenant- 
 Governor's, party : but this year, 1741, James Logan, whose Quaker- 
 ism had been tempered \yith statesmanship, sent a letter setting forth 
 the defenceless state of the Province and the ill consequences that 
 might ensue upon men of their principles procuring themselves to be 
 returned to the Assembly. The shrewder heads, anxious to ward off 
 the influence of such an epistle, — for they had cause to fear if once they 
 withdrew from politics, their ascendancy could never be regained, — 
 hit upon the expedient of appointing a committee, Robert Jordan, 
 John Bringhurst, Ebenezer Large, John Dillwyn, and Robert Strettell, 
 to peruse the letter, and report whether it contained matters proper to 
 be communicated to the meeting. The committee reported, tiiat, as it 
 contained matters of a military and geographical nature, it was by no 
 means proper to be read. Robert Strettell alone remarked, that, con- 
 sidering the letter came from a man of abundant experience, an old 
 member who had a sincere affection for the welfare of the Society, he 
 was apprehensive should it be refused a reading, such a procedure 
 would disgust not only him but the large body of Friends in Eng- 
 land. This minority report was not expected, and John Bringhurst 
 caught him by the coat, saying sharply, " Sit thee down, Robert Stret- 
 tell, thee art single in that opinion." (Letter of Richard Peters.) On 
 the 6th of October, four new Aldermen were chosen by the City Cor- 
 poration, three of whom were not Quakers, and then Robert Strettell 
 and another Quaker and three Churchmen were added to the Com- 
 mon Council, to neutralize the influence of Isaac Norris and his 
 friends. 
 
 Governor Thomas in November invited Strettell to^ the Council. 
 He qualified December 14, 1741. On November 16, 1748, he quali- 
 fied as an Alderman, having been elected at the preceding meeting. 
 He was one of the original Trustees of the College of Philadelphia in 
 1749, and was Mayor of the City for one term. He gave 76/. towards 
 the erection of a Public Building instead of the usual collation. In 
 the Council, he was an active member, and during the French War 
 aided his more belligerent colleagues. For a few days, in the absence 
 of Gov. Morris and James Hamilton, he, as eldest councillor, was 
 supreme in the City. He seems to have favored the declaration of 
 war against the Delaware Indians. He was present when it was de- 
 cided on ; and William Logan alone is said to have dissented. 
 
 He died before June 12, 1761, bu. that day in Friends' ground.

 Amos Steettell, b. Dublin in 1720, son of the Councillor, was 
 brought by his parents to Philadelphia when a lad, and became his 
 father's assistant in his business. Wm. Black says in his Journal : 
 "He [Robert Strettell] had only one son who lived with him, about 
 19, and was in partnership with him in Trade, he appear'd to be a 
 very Promising Sober and well Inclin'd young Man, and much At- 
 tached to Business, even Uncommon for his years." On the day of 
 his father's election as Mayor, he was chosen one of the City Corpora- 
 tion ; and he followed his father in the esteem of the Proprietary 
 
Strettelt. 205 
 
 Party. The Governor aud Council urged the Assembly to appoint 
 him one of the Provincial Commissioners to spend the money raised 
 for defence, but witiiout success. In 1764, Amos Strettell was on the 
 ticket which carried the election for Assemblymen from Phi!adel])hia 
 County, ousting Benjamin Franklin and Joseph Galloway from tiieir 
 seats in the House. The other counties, to be sure, returned the for- 
 mer representatives ; so the majority continued to be against the Pro- 
 prietaries. On the important divisions during the session, Strettell 
 voted with the Churchmen &ct. opposed to clianging the government. 
 The City corporation, however, after they " packed " it against Isaac 
 Norris, in 1741, became the stronghold of the Proprietary party; and 
 such Quakers as were admitted by the very exclusive members, who 
 had the sole power of adding to their number, were deemed by them 
 very moderate and liberal. Yet to be Alderman, estimating the value 
 of that title by considering on whom it was conferred during those 
 times, was an enviable honor. In 1766, none having been chosen the 
 preceding year, it was carried to add two to the list ; and Amos Stret- 
 tell and Samuel Shoemaker (see Shoemaker) were elected. He d. 
 Jany. 13, 1780, as appears by the following obituary in the Pennsyl-

 a short illness Amos Strettell, Esq : departed this life in the 60th 
 year of his age. In the public stations which he formerly filled as 
 Representative in General Assembly for this county : an Alderman of 
 the City : a trustee of the General Loan Office and of the College, he 
 obtained the approbation of his fellow citizens; as a merchant he was 
 eminent and intelligent ; in the more silent path of private life de- 
 servedly beloved by his family and the poor, for affection and benefi- 
 cence. His remains were deposited on Sunday evening in the family

 Samuel Hasell. 
 
 Several persons of the name of Hasell appear iu Hotten's Lists as 
 in St. Michael's Parish, Barbadoes, about 1680. Thomas Hasell, 
 probably brother of the Councillor, died in Phila. Oct. 25, 1726 aged 
 32 years : and William Hasell, " of Barbadoes, but at this time resid- 
 ing in Phila., merchant ; " by his will proved in Phila. Jany. 15, 1754, 
 setting forth that he was about to embark on a voyage to Barbadoes 
 devised all his property to his nephew Samuel Hasell (son of the 
 Councillor) after legacies to the four children of James Benezet and an 
 annuity to Mrs. Margaret Settle of Barbadoes. 
 
 Samuel Hasell, the Councillor, was born in Barbadoes in 1691. 
 He came to Philadelphia about 1715, and, engaging in mercantile 
 business, acquired a considerable estate. He was elected a Common 
 Councilman of the City Oct. 2, 1728, Alderman Oct. 7, 1729, and 
 Mayor three times, 1731, 1732, and 1740. He acted as Treasurer of 
 the City Corporation for many years, and was also one of the County 
 Justices. He was called to the Provincial Council Oct. 9, 1728, and 
 in 1731 qualified as a Master in Chancery of the Governor's High 
 Court, founded in 1720, but abolished in 1735. Hasell was many 
 years a vestryman of Christ Church, and at one time Warden. He 
 joined Peter Evans in opposing the appointment of Rev. Richard 
 
Hasell 209 
 
 Peters as Rector in 1741, no doubt aware of tlie importance of keeping 
 tlie Church independent of the office-holding coterie, with which 
 Peters was allied. Hasell d. in Phila. June 13, 1751, and was buried 
 in Christ Church ground. His will, making provision for his wife 
 during her life, gave liis property to his seven children, his son 
 Samuel taking a double share. At the partition in 1756, the real 
 estate exclusive of the widow's share was appraised at 3289^. 10s., the 
 messuage, store, and wharf, with a front of 50 ft. on Water Street, 
 being allotted to Samuel at 1475^. 
 
 The Councillor m. about 1718 Anne, only dau. of Samuel Bulkley 
 by his w. Anne Jones. The parents were Friends, and, Samuel Bulk- 
 ley dying when his daugiiter was quite young, the mother became the 
 2nd w. of Joseph Growdon, an early Councillor (see Growdon).

Abraham Taylor. 
 
 Abra^i. Taylor was born in England about 1703, and emigrated 
 to Philadelphia from Bristol, entering into partnership in 1724 with 
 John White as " merchant adventurer." They did a large business 
 for those early days: in 1741, White, wishing to return to England, 
 sold his interest to Taylor for £7000 sterling. Taylor was at this 
 time a member of the City Corporation, and on Dec. 29, 1741, quali- 
 fied as a member of the Governor's Council, but he looked forward to 
 an early departure from Philadelphia, complaining that its climate was 
 ill suited to his constitution, and the place afforded " little of what is 
 either entertaining or amusing." In the latter part of 1744, the office 
 for the collection of the Customs being vacant by the death of Mr. 
 Alexander, and Taylor having a deputation from Grosvenor Bedford, 
 Esq., who was titular Collector of the Port, to supply the place in 
 such a case, he assumed its duties, " rather than a friend should suffer by 
 the office being depreciated and undervalued since the commencement 
 of a French War." He says, " Bedford must have been a great suf- 
 ferer if I had not." Taylor was elected Mayor in 1745, but declined 
 to serve, and was fined .30?. He was about the most active Councillor, 
 when, under Palmer's presidency, the Council acted as Governor of 
 the Province ; and he was made Colonel of the regiment of Associa- 
 tors for Defence formed during the latter part of 1747. He had 
 bought a claim to about 20,000 acres of land, which the Proprie- 
 taries instructed their Secretary not to grant. Going to England in 
 1750, and intending to sell this right, he exhibited to the Proprietaries 
 an elaborate argument to show that the Southern boundary of Penn- 
 sylvania should not be South of Latitude 40°, and that Virginia and 
 Maryland had a right to all below that line. He threatened to put 
 this paper in the hands of his vendee. The Proprietaries declared 
 this a dishonorable attempt to force them to allow him the land, and 
 wrote to Lieut. Gov. Hamilton ordering him to strike Taylor's name 
 from the list of the Council, and to supersede any commission granted 
 to him. Although the letter was to be communicated to the City 
 
220 Taylor. 
 
 Corporation, Taylor continued as one of its members from his return 
 to Philadelphia until his final departure from the Province in 1762. 
 The Pennsylvania Gazette tells us that in June of that year, " An 
 elegant Entertainment was prepared in the State House by a number 
 of the principal Gentlemen of this City to bid adieu and to take their 
 final Farewell of Abraham Taylor Esq. late one of the Council ; an 
 Alderman of the City, and Deputy Collector of Customs in this Port, 
 now going to reside in England. Upwards of One Hundred Gentle- 
 men attended. * * " Mr. Taylor afterwards resided in Bath, 
 where bed. in 1772, will probat. Mch. 10, 1772, leaving to wife and 
 son.

 Joseph Turner. 
 
 Joseph Turner, was born at Andover in Hampshire, England, 
 May 2, 1701, and came to America Jany. 13, 1713-4. His parents 
 were never in this country, as far as we know, but one of his sisters 
 had married John Sims, who is afterwards mentioned as a merchant 
 in Jamaica ; and they may have brought Turner to Pennsylvania be- 
 fore they settled in the West Indies. Another sister, Mary, born in 
 England in June, 1694 or 1695, was married Oct. 19, 1725, before her 
 arrival here, to James Oswald, a sea Captain, who for many years 
 cruised between Pennsylvania and the Islands. Joseph Turner in 
 1724 was also a sea captain, as appears by the notice in the American 
 Weekly Mercury in May of that year, " entered inwards," at Phila- 
 delphia, " Ship Lovely, Joseph Turner, from Bristol." In 1726, he 
 signed the circular of the chief business men of Philadelphia agreeing 
 
Turner. 221 
 
 to take the bills of credit of the Lower Counties at their face value. 
 Hazard's Register names him as a memlier of Franklin's Junto. In 
 1729, he was elected a Common Councilman of the City, and in 1741, 
 an Alderman. He declined the Mayoralty in 1745, and was therefore 
 fined 30/. For about fifty years Turner was in partnership with Wil- 
 liam Allen (see Hamilton) in commercial business, the house of Allen & 
 Turner for a long time prior to the Revolutionary War being the most 
 important in the colony. They also engaged in the manufacture of 
 iron, and owned several mines in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 
 The Union Iron Works in Hunterdon Co., N. J., were the most cele- 
 brate<l, the property at the date of Turner's will amounting to 11,000 
 acres. Turner's city residence at the date of his will was on the West 
 side of Front, South of Market. In 1735, he bought Lady Ann 
 Keith's country-seat at Horsham, but sold it two years later to Dr. 
 Graeme. Turner had a country-seat called " Wilton Plantation " in 
 the " Xeck " below the city, South-East of Shackhanson and Moll 
 Bore Creeks, and stretching from the line of 13th Street to the State 
 Island Road. 
 
 Turner's admission to the Provincial Council was on May 14, 1747. 
 His name is on the list of the Dancing Assembly of 1748, and he was 
 one of the original trustees of the College. 
 
 He died July 25, 1783, leaving the bulk of his estate to his sister 
 Mary's children : Elizabeth, wife of Chew the Councillor, Mary, who 
 died unm., and Margaret, who married Frederick Smyth, Chief Jus- 
 tice of New Jersey. His sister Mrs. Sims left issue, Joseph and Buck- 
 ridge, both of Phila. Joseph Sims married a daughter of Alexander 
 Wooddrop, and his son Joseph Sims, a merchant of Phila., married 
 Miss Heath of Md. Joseph Turner's brother Peter Turner followed 
 him to this countr}'. In his will, he acknowledges Joseph's kindness 
 to him on his arrival. Peter bought in 1751 some 327 acres on the 
 North corner of Ridge Road and Turner's Lane, the latter taking its 
 name from him. His great-granddau., Abby Ann King Turner, 
 married Rev. Peter Van Pelt. 
 
Lawrence Growdon. 
 
 Lawrence Growdon of Trevose in the Co. of Cornwall, gent., and 
 his son Joseph Growdon of Anstle in the Co. of Cornwall, gent., were 
 among the " first purchasers," buying from William Penn before his 
 first visit to Pennsylvania the goodly quantity of 5000 acres each. 
 These they had located upon the Neshaminy Creek in Bucks Co. 
 
 Joseph Growdon came to America very soon after the purchase, 
 and settled upon the property, building a dwelling-house still stand- 
 ing, and giving it the name of " Ti-evose." For many years he repre- 
 sented Bucks Co. in the Assembly, and was several terms Speaker. 
 He was also chosen by the freeholders to the Provincial Council when 
 that body was elective; and after the change in the Constitution was 
 appointed Councillor by William Penn, but ceased to attend the 
 meetings before the departure of the latter. He was some time 
 a judge of the Supreme Court. (For further information as to him 
 and a picture of Trevose see Mrs. Julianna R. Wood's Family 
 
 Sketches.) He d. 9, 10, 1730. He m., 1st, Elizabeth , who

 Lawrence Growdox was born Mch. 14, 1693-4, and by deeds of 
 lease and release dated June 25 and 26, 1707, wherein he is described 
 as " of the Province of Pennsylvania in America gent.," received from 
 his grandfather, Lawrence Growdon "of Parish of St. Merryn, co. 
 Cornwall, England," all his lordships, manors, messuages, lands, tene- 
 ments, and hereditaments in Pennsylvania. He went to England, and 
 in 1730, was a merchant in the City of Bristol. He became owner of 
 the English estate called Trevose, settling it on his 1st wife. By his 
 father's will he received only 5s., but recovered a debt from the estate, 
 and by purchase at Sheriff's sale added to his grandfather's moiety 
 his father's moiety of the city lots near the Delaware front apjiurte- 
 nant to their 10,000 acres. These comprised a width of 102 ft. stretch- 
 ing from Front to Fourth St., the Southermost 20 ft. being afterwards 
 thrown off to open Lombard Street. Growdon was " of Philadelphia 
 gent." in 1733, after which he removed to Bucks County, and during 
 most of his life resided at Trevose. At Durham were the chief iron- 
 ■works of Provincial times, owned by a company formed as early as 
 1727. Iron from it was exported to England in 1731. Lawrence 
 Growdon became one of the company, and finally owner of ten-six- 
 teenths of the whole tract, amounting to 8511 acres. The property 
 ■was afterwards divided, the whole being valued at £16000, and, Mrs. 
 AVood says, Growdon made iron there on his own account. He repre- 
 sented the County in the Assembly from 1734 to 1737, and was a 
 justice of the county court. With Rev. Richard Peters, Secretary of 
 the Land Office, he was appointed commissioner for running a tempo- 
 rary boundary with Maryland in conjunction with Col. Levin Gale 
 and Mr. Samuel Chamberlaine, the Maryland commissioners. They 
 began the work Dec. .5, 1738, ascertaining from the principal inhabi- 
 tants of Philadelphia what was the most Southerly point of the city, 
 the King in Council having directed the line to be run fifteen miles 
 and a quarter South of the latitude of Philadelphia. Waiting for a 
 clear night, they took an observation, Dec. 8th, to determine the varia- 
 tion of the needle from the direction of the Pole Star at the hour when 
 that star on one side of the true pole and the star in the tail of the Bear 
 on the other side were in the same vertical line. The variation they found 
 
224 Groiodon. 
 
 to be 5° 25' W. From the South point of Philadelphia they took up 
 their march due West on Dec. 11th, but, having gone two miles, and 
 marked the post they came to in Israel Pemberton's fence, they post- 
 poned operations until the following Spring, when they continued due 
 West thirty miles from the South point, so as to project a Soutlierly 
 line clear of the great waters of the Brandy wine and Christiana, and 
 then measured on this line along the surface of the earth, allowing 
 twenty-five perches per mile for the altitudes of the hills, fifteen miles 
 and a quarter to get the correct starting-point . From thence they ran 
 the boundary to the Susquehannah, and fixed a starting-point on the 
 West bank of that river, when. Col. Gale's son having died, and his 
 daughter being ill, he returned home, and Mr. Chamberlaine declined 
 to go on without him. Lieut. Gov. Thomas having commissioned the 
 representatives of Pennsylvania to proceed e.rparfe if anything pre- 
 vented the Marylanders from acting, they accordingly carried the line 
 to the top of the Kittatinny Hills, the boundary of the land purchased 
 of the Indians. They made their report May 28, 1739 (see Penna. 
 Archives, Vol. I). Growdon was called to the Governor's Council 
 May 13, 1747. He sat, as second Justice, in the Supreme Court of 
 the Province for twelve years, joining in some of the early decisions 
 reported in 1 Dallas. At the time of his death, besides being a county 
 judge, he held the positions, which would now be thought inconsistent 
 with his judicial dignity, of Prothonotary of the Court of Common 
 Pleas, Clerk of the Orphans' Court, and Recorder of Deeds for Bucks 
 Co. He d. Apr. 1, 1770. He left a large estate, as we may calculate 
 from the appraisement of Mrs. Galloway's portion by order of the 
 Supreme Court in 1779, as follows : lands in Durham township, valued 
 at 28461^. 13s. 9fZ. or yearly rental 407/. 15s. 9d; the lands in Ben- 
 salem known as " Belmont " 574 a., worth 20,090/. ; " Trevose " 444 a.,

 He was the son of Peter Galloway of Maryland, by his w. Elizabeth, 
 dau. of John Rigbie, and was born near West River, Anne Arundel 
 Co., Md., about the year 1729. He studied law, and practised chiefly 
 in Philadelphia, his name first appearing on the docket of the Supreme 
 Court of Pennsylvania in 1750. 
 
 He became a member of the Assembly of Pennsylvania in 1757, and 
 from that time until the Revolution was in almost continuous service. 
 He took a leading part in the struggle with the Proprietary party,, 
 and was manager of the prosecution before the House of Messrs. 
 Smith and Moore for libel, and was upon the committee which in 
 March, 1764, drafted the twenty six resolutions on the state of the 
 province concluding with the opinion that the sole executive powers of 
 government being in the hands of the Proprietaries would in time, 
 with the extensive influedee arising from their vast and daily increas- 
 ing estate, render them absolute and as dangerous to the prerogatives 
 of the Crown as to the liberties of the people, and the powers of gov- 
 ernment ought to be sejiarated from the power attending that immense 
 property, and lodged, where only they could be properly and safely 
 lodged, in the hands of the King. After adopting these resolutions, 
 the Assembly adjourned to consult the jjeople whether an address 
 should be sent to His Majesty praying him to take the colony under 
 his immediate government. The Assembly re-convened on May 14th. 
 
Growdon — Joseph GaUotvay. 227 
 
 Petitions in favor of the change of government had been signed by 
 3,500 persons, and the Society of Friends sent an address to that pur- 
 port into the House. On the question of adopting the petition to be 
 transmitted to the King with the address of the Society of Friends, a 
 great debate arose. The Assembly sat with closed doors, and nothing 
 but the motions and yeas and nays appear in the reports of the pro- 
 ceedings; but John Dickinson afterwards pul)lished his speech against 
 the change of government, and Galloway, who answered him, put in 
 press a speech which Dickinson said he never delivered. Be that as 
 it may, and Galloway acknowledged to have somewhat re-written what 
 he actually said, the speech in print shows great ability. Dickinson 
 had said that the project was ill-timed, when the colony was so much 
 under displeasure at Court. Galloway replied that he had not " the 
 vanity to hope that if we cannot now succeed in removing the preju- 
 <lices occasioned by Pi'oprietary Misrepresentations we shall ever see 
 the Day while the Powers of Government are united with immense 
 property that Proprietary Influence or Ministerial Prejudice against 
 us will cease. But I must fear a little time will shew us in the 
 ridiculous Light that Horace shews his Clown ' who meeting a River 
 in his Road sat down on the Bank to wait till the Stream should pass 
 
 him: 
 
 'Bustieiis exspectat dum defluat amnis: at ille 
 ' Labitur ; et labetur in omue volubilis ievum.' " 
 
 The contest between Dickinson and Galloway did not end with the 
 original pamphlets, Dickinson publishing a fierce invective against 
 Gralloway, charging him with extortion and various dishonorable 
 means to enrich himself in his professional and political career. At 
 the election in October following, Galloway was defeated. Subse- 
 quently, in 1765, Galloway was returned to the Assembly, and in 1766 
 was elected Speaker, and held that position, being nearly always 
 unanimously re-elected, until 1774. 
 
 From the first he had little sympathy with the Revolution, although 
 he had a property-holder's dislike of taxation, and the thought may 
 have entered his mind that if the outcome of the contention should be 
 the admission of delegates from the Colonies into the British Parlia- 
 ment, he might have a career in that distinguished body. He could 
 count on the same power which made him Speaker of the Assembly to 
 send him there by popular vote. But representation in Parliament was 
 never asked for by the American Whigs. According to Galloway's 
 statement to the Committee of the House of Commons, he saw nothinar 
 
228 Growdon — Joseph Galloway. 
 
 tyrannical in the Boston Port Bill. "What grievances the Colonies 
 had, he was willing for a Congress of their chief men to talk over r 
 as one of the Committee of Correspondence of the Assembly of Penn- 
 sylvania, he wrote in support of such a plan ; he said the Assemblies 
 were the proper bodies to name these representatives; and he agreed 
 as Speaker to call a session of his House. The more pronounced ad- 
 vocates of America's cause soon became suspicious of him. Accord- 
 ingly, when the invitation to Pennsylvania to unite in a Continental 
 Congress was about to be laid before the Assembly, the wire-pullers 
 among the Whigs bent their energies to turn public opinion so strongly 
 in favor of union with the other Colonies that the Assembly must 
 comply. They arranged for a Convention of county committees, 
 which, meeting just before the House, framed a long paper of "in- 
 structions," and in a body jjresented it at the sitting. The personnel 
 of the House was not distinguished. Only a few attained any promi- 
 nence in the affairs of Pennsylvania before or sinccj and John Young, 
 gr'dson of Grseme the Councillor, writes: "our Honorable House 
 made but a scurvy appearance the day the memorial was presented to 
 them by the Committees, it was enough to make one sweat to see a 
 parcel of Countrymen sitting with their hats on, great coarse cloth 
 coats, leather breeches and woolen stockings in the month of July ; 
 there was not a speech made the whole time, whether their silence 
 proceeded from their modesty or from their inability to speak I know 
 not." Over these men, Galloway, with his wealth, education, and 
 political prestige, and with some claim on their gratitude as tlieir 
 advocate against the Proprietaries, was both Speaker and presiding 
 genius. A few were under the conti'ol of Chief Justice Allen (see 
 Hamilton), member from Cumberland. His loyalty to the King could 
 be depended on, although he had not the Quakers' scruples against 
 taking up arms against the Ministry. Both Allen and Galloway being 
 favorable to a General Congress, it was carried unanimously in the 
 Assembly of Pennsylvania to send delegates. But in the choice of 
 delegates, we see the influence of Galloway. Instead of accepting 
 Dickinson and Wilson, whom the Convention favored, the Assembly 
 decided to send from their own number, and put Galloway at the head 
 of the delegation. Galloway then wrote the instructions for himself 
 and colleagues. He tells this to the Committee of the House of Com- 
 mons, as also how he was at first uuwilling to serve, but consented to 
 do so if the instructions were to his mind. As the Congress assem- 
 bled, Galloway did the honors. He offered them the State House,

 but they decided to meet iu the Carpenters' Hall. Baucroft narrates 
 his conduct iu Congress, beginning with the statement that he "acted 
 as a volunteer spy for the British government." He certainly went 
 into the Congress to exert a control over it. " To the delegates from 
 other colonies as they arrived, he insinuated that ' commissioners with 
 full power should repair to the British Court, after the example of the 
 Roman, Grecian, and Macedonian colonies on occasions of the like 
 nature.' His colleagues spurned the thought of sending envoys to 
 dangle at the heels of a minister, and undergo the scorn of Parlia- 
 ment." We are told that it was in secret concert with the Governor 
 of New Jersey and Lieut. Gov. Colden of New York that he proposed 
 in Congress a government for America to consist of a President-General 
 appointed by the King, and holding office during his pleasure, and a 
 Grand Council chosen once in three years by the Assemblies of the 
 various Colonies. This celebrated Scheme is given in full in the 
 American Archives, Fourth Series, although Congress afterwards ex- 
 punged it from the minCites. The number of members of the Grand 
 Council was left blank, but the design was to proportion it to the 
 population. The Council was to meet annually ; the British Parlia- 
 ment was to have the power of revising its acts ; and it was to have a 
 negative upon British statutes relating to the Colonies. The idea M-as 
 a British and American legislature for regulating the general affairs of 
 America. The President-General was to execute the decrees of the 
 Grand Council. He also had the power of vetoing them. This 
 arrangement for arbitration between America and the Mother Coun- 
 try, which has no little resemblance to the Constitution of the United 
 States adopted thirteen years later, differing from it in leaving the 
 choice of the President and the second branch of the legislature to the 
 King and British nation, whom Galloway looked upon as the source 
 of power, instead of to the people of the United States, whom the 
 framers of the Constitution recognized as sovereign, was the best possi- 
 ble suggestion from those who with sincerity professed the desire to 
 remain under the King's government. " I am as much a friend to 
 liberty as exists," said Galloway in presenting it, "and no man shall 
 go further in point of fortune or in point of blood than the man who 
 now addresses you." The plan was favored by John Jay and James 
 Duane of New York and by Edward Rutledge of South Carolina. It 
 was rejected, says Charles Francis Adams in notes to John Adams's 
 "Writings, by the close vote of six colonies against five ; says Bancroft, 
 no colony but perhaps New York favored it. " With this defeat," 
 
230 Gi'owdon — Joseph Galloway. 
 
 says Bancroft, " Galloway lost his mischievous importance." Oq 
 October 8th, Congress passed a resolution approving of the opposition 
 made by the people of Massachusetts to the Act of Parliament altering 
 the government of that colony, adding that "if the same shall be at- 
 tempted to be carried into execution by force, all America ought to 
 support them in opposition." Galloway thought this resolution 
 treasonable. Duane and he asked to be allowed to enter their protest, 
 but Congress refused, and tliey privately took each other's certificate 
 that they had opposed it. Galloway then proposed to Duane to leave 
 Congress ; but, on consulting with his friends as to his personal safety 
 if he did so, Galloway was advised to remain. He was re-elected to 
 the Assembly in the Fall of 1774, but changes favorable to the ad- 
 vanced Whigs had been made in the membership of the House. He 
 did not attend its meetings until after the report of the proceedings of 
 Congress had been made by his colleagues, and the Assembly had 
 voted upon them, approving them unanimously. On Dec. 15tli, the 
 Assembly unanimously chose delegates for tlie Congress to meet the 
 next May, sending back the old set, including Galloway, only omitting 
 Samuel Rhoads, who was unable to serve, having become Mayor of 
 the City. In the early part of the next year, Galloway published " A 
 Candid Examination of the Mutual Claims of Great Britain and the 
 Colonies: with a Plan of Accommodation on Constitutional Princi- 
 ples," printed by James Rivington in New York. The preface to its 
 reprint in London in 1780 says that in several provinces it was burnt 
 by the common executioner. It was a defence of his Scheme of 
 Government. 
 
 Galloway declined to serve any longer in Congress, and was not 
 chosen in 1775 to the Assembly. He retired to his seat in Bucks 
 County, where, the notes to his Examination say, " he was in the 
 utmost danger from mobs raised by Mr. Adams to hang him at his 
 own door. * * Soon after, the Congress being desirous to gain him 
 over to their measures, and hoping that this danger might induce him 
 to change his conduct. Dr. Franklin came up to him in Bucks, and 
 earnestly solicited he would join in their measures, but he refused." 
 In December, 1776, he made his way to the headquarters of Gen. 
 Howe, the British commander, and was with him in his advance 
 through New Jersey. He applied for a pardon in accordance with the 
 General's proclamation of November 30, offering amnesty to all who 
 had opposed the King's authority who should within 60 days subscribe 
 to a declaration that they would not take up arms : but the British offi-

 cers told Galloway that his conduct required no pardon. At New 
 York, he served the army well in procuring intelligence as to the state 
 of the country. When the capture of Philadelphia by means of an 
 expedition to the head of the Cliesapeake was planned, he advised that 
 the fleet proceed up Delaware Bay, which would make the trip from 
 New York so much shorter, and on its shores recruit the Tories of the 
 Lower Counties. But his arguments had no effect. It was decided 
 to transport the troops to the head of the Chesapeake. Although his 
 views were not adopted, he accompanied the ex|)editiou. After Phila- 
 delpiiia was taken, he was appointed Superintendent of the Police of 
 the City and Suburbs, of the Port, and of tlie Prohibited Articles. 
 Thus he was for about five months of the British occupation the head 
 of the civil government, and he was consulted on the business of almost 
 all tiie departments of the army. Offering to raise a regiment of Pro- 
 vincial light horse, he obtained authority to raise a small troop. He 
 found the recruits, and properly disciplined them. He also gathered 
 a company of Bucks Co. refugees, who served without pay ; and with 
 these two bodies, he carried on various small military enterprises 
 against the Americans. At the evacuation of Philadel|)hia, he went 
 with the British, and, in October following, he left America, never to 
 return. In England, in June, 1779, he was examined before a com- 
 mittee of the House of Commons on the state of affairs in America 
 and the conduct of the War, and his testimony, which has been pub- 
 lished, shows the greatest blundering on the part of Sir William 
 Howe, the commander of the British army. He also printed three 
 Letters to a Nobleman on the Conduct of the War in the Middle 
 Colonies to prove (in opposition to what had been set up in Howe's 
 defence), 1st, that the country was not impracticable for military ope- 
 rations ; 2ndly, the inhabitants were not generally desirous of inde- 
 pendence ; 3rd!y, the whole failure to conquer these colonies was owing 
 to the incompetency of the Commander-in-Chief, who had 40,874 
 foot and cavalry, well-appointed, veteran troops, while the Ameri- 
 can force did not amount to 18,000, including militia, "neglected 
 in their health, clothing, and pay." Galloway also attacked Gen. 
 Howe's brother, the Admiral, for neglect of duty in his branch of the 
 service in a pamphlet entitled " A Letter to the Rt. Hon. Lord Vis- 
 count H e on his Naval Conduct in the American War," London, 
 
 1779. He also published "Historical and Politiciil Reflections on the 
 American Rebellion," London, 1780. 
 
 By act of Mch. 6, 1778, tiie Assembly of Pennsylvania attainted 
 
232 Growdon — Joseph Galloway. 
 
 Galloway of iiigli treason unless he should appear by a certain time 
 and stand trial, and provided for the sale of his estates, worth, accord- 
 ing to his testimony before the Parliamentary committee, at least 
 £40,000 stg. His house on the S. E. cor. of Sixth and High Street 
 in Philadel[)hia was appropriated by the State of Pennsylvania as a 
 residence for the President of the Supreme Executive Council, but 
 was afterwards sold to Robert Morris. 
 
 In the latter years of his life, Galloway was a student of the Book 
 of Revelation, finding in it a portrayal of the times in which he was 
 living. In the course of the seven years preceding their publication, 
 he wrote " Brief Commentaries upon such parts of the Revelation and 
 Other Prophecies as immediately refer to the Present Times : in which 
 the several Allegorical Types and Expi-essions of those Prophecies are 
 translated into their Literal Meanings," published in 1802, a work of 
 great ingenuity, originality, and ability, noteworthy also as a depart- 
 ture from the ordinary rim of Protestant commentaries, which have 
 seen nothing in the Apocalypse but a promise of destruction to the 
 Pope. Galloway's book is an interesting history of the Christian 
 Church from a Protestant point of view worked out by paraphrasing 
 the whole Revelation. The growth and triumph of Christianity, 
 Galloway would explain, appeared to St. John at the opening of the 
 seven seals, and the irruption of the barbarians, with the sounding of 
 the first four trumpets. Then followed Mohammed — "and to him 
 was given the key of the bottomless pit " — and the breaking forth of 
 the Saracens, and after that the reign of the Ottomans. Synchronous 
 with the last is the history of the Western Church contained in the 
 " little book" which the angel which stood upon the sea and the earth 
 held in his hand, and this history is given in the Eleventh Chapter of 
 the Revelation. The Holy City, or the Church, was to be trodden 
 under foot by the " Gentiles," which Galloway would translate " the 
 Mohammedans and Papists," for "forty and two months," i. e. 1260 
 days, or years. Galloway explains the two witnesses who were to 
 ])riiplH'sy in sackcloth 1260 days to be the Old and New Testaments. 
 " Tiie beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit (the Revolution- 
 ary power in France) shall make war against them" * * "and 
 thfir dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city (Paris) * * 
 three diiys and an half (the three and a half years from the banish- 
 ment of the clergy from France in September, 1792, until the decree 
 for tolerating religion in March, 1796)." After this, there was to be 
 a piiiification of the Church, and, while it was being accomplished.

 there should occur another bloody revolution in France (which Gallo- 
 way, had he lived, would have seen in 1871). In the 12th Chapter, 
 St. John describes the Cliureii in triunipii in the Fourth Century, and 
 the appearance of Papal Home, whose superstition drew the bishops 
 of the Western Church, or " the third part of the stars of heaven." 
 The "war in heaven" was the Reformation; after which Satan was 
 "cast out into the earth", or to France. The beast which rose up out 
 of the sea, in Chapter 13, was Papal Rome. The two horns of the 
 beast which came up out of the earth were the two Committees of 
 Safety, which had the executive power in France. This beast exer- 
 cised all the crafts of its enemy the Pope, and caused the people to 
 worship the spirit of heathen Rome, and to make "an image to the 
 beast" — the personation of Reason by the woman of Momoro — and "to 
 receive a mark " — the cockade — " in their right hand or in their fore- 
 heads." The number of the beast, which is " the number of a man," 
 is 666 — DCLXVI, which Galloway, after arguing that it must equal 
 the sum of the letters in the name of such a man as naturally indi- 
 cates the Antichristian nation or power, suggests is LVD(o)VICV(s), 
 the Latin for Louis, the name of so many kings of France. The first 
 four of the vials of wrath mentioned in the 16th Chapter, Galloway 
 thought, had been already poured out, the first u|)on France, called 
 "the earth," the second upon the Papacy, called "the sea," the third 
 upon Germany, which, he conceived, was described as "tlie rivers and 
 fountains of waters," because it included more great rivers than any 
 other country, and the fourth upon the French King. It is a pity 
 that Galloway did not live to see that "the sun" was an image more 
 appropriate to Napoleon, and how the power " to scorch men with 
 fire" overthrew him at Moscow. Galloway made out that " the angel 
 of the waters," who said " Thou art righteous, O Lord," &ct., was 
 none other than King George III, because he presided over a nation 
 supreme upon the ocean. The fifth, sixth, and seventh vials were yet 
 to be poured out. The fifth was to be the further punishment of 
 France, " the seat of the beast " and the sixth, the drying up of " the 
 great river Euphrates," or the Turkish and Ottoman Empire, " tliat 
 the way of the kings of the cast," or the Russians, " might be pre- 
 pared." There is to follow a grand confederacy of pagan idolaters, 
 atheists, and apostates to battle against the pure remnant of the 
 Church. This confederacy, or Babylon the Great, is to be overthrown 
 at the pouring out of the seventii vial, apostasy and atheism are to be 
 cast into the lake of fire, and Christ is to reign a tiiousand years. 
 After this, Satan is to be unbound, and the heathen nations round

 about will rise up against God, and will be destroyed, and the general 
 resurrection will follow. Galloway argues that the atheistical power 
 in France was the Antichrist and the " man of sin " spoken of by St. 
 Paul, and devotes about sixty-five pages to show that the same thing 
 was imaged in the "little horn" of the fourth beast in the 7th 
 Chapter of the Book of Daniel. It arose out of the midst of the ten 
 kingdoms which came from the Roman Empire, and before it France, 
 Holland, and Switzerland " were plucked up by the roots," it had the 
 passions of degraded man, it uttered decrees against the Most High, 
 and thought " to change times " (the Christian Calendar) " and laws " 
 (morality and Natural and Revealed Religion), and the saints were given 
 into its power "a time, times, and the dividing of time" (the three 
 and a half years from the banishment of the clergy in the Fall of 
 1792 to the decree of toleration in the Spring of 1796). Galloway 
 explained the 11th and 12th verses of the Chapter as prophesying the 
 destruction of Romanism and the taking away of the dominion of the 
 Babylonian, Persian, and Grecian Empires, but the survival of their 
 idolatries " for a season and time." The book called forth a severe 
 attack from Dean Whitaker, who expostulated against an explanation 
 which would not keep the Pope before the world as the Antichrist. 
 Galloway answered in another book, to explain what parts of Reve- 
 lation did refer to the Pope : " The Prophetic or Anticipated History 
 of the Church of Rome * * Prefaced by an Address, Dedicatory, 
 Expostulatory, and Critical to the Rev. Mr. Whitaker, Dean of Can- 
 terbury," London, 1803. Shortly after the publication of this, Gal- 
 loway died, at Watford, Herts, Aug. 29, 1803, bu. in the church- 
 yard at Watford.

 Peters was sent when very young to Westminster School, where he 
 finished before he was fifteen, and had particular favors shown him by 
 Dr. Froude. There it was, and at an age barely competent to contract, 
 that he was deluded by a servant maid at the house where he lodged 
 into a Fleet marriage; a clandestine union very common at that time, 
 entered into before some clerical inmate of the prison, whose wretched 
 circumstances made him independent of all penal laws requiring the 
 publication of bans. " His parents hearing of it, altered their mind 
 as to the remaining part of his education, and instead of sending him 
 to Oxford, removed him to Leyden, where he was three years ; and 
 upon his return was put to study the law under the care of Mr. Bootle 
 
236 Peta-s. 
 
 of the Inner Temple, by the command of his Father, against his will, 
 for he was always inclined to go into orders. He was five years in the 
 Inner Temple, and tho' capable of practising the law to great advant- 
 age, yet, his religious turn of mind increasing, his Father was pre- 
 vailed upon to let him take orders, which were conferred upon him by 
 the late Bishop of Winchester — in the year 1730 to be deacon, and the 
 year following at Chelsea to be priest. Some little time after, Mr. 
 Bootle collated him to Latham Chapel, a donative in the i^arish of 
 Ormskirk in the County of Lancaster and Diocese of Chester, in which 
 neighborhood he has lived ever since, and was there taken notice of by 
 the late Earl of Derby and intrusted with the education of two of his 
 relations, and lived with his Lordship in his palace of Knowsley till 
 the first of July last. During all this time, knowing in what a base 
 manner he was tricked by the woman, he never cohabited with her, 
 nor gave himself any trouble about her, and about three years ago upon 
 his return from Leyden — where he had been to place the two young 
 gentlemen, my Lord's relations — he was congratulated by his friends 
 in a public manner for his deliverance from the woman, who, they told 
 him, had died, while he was in Holland ; and her death came con- 
 firmed afterwards by several letters from his friends in London. 
 Taking himself and being taken by the whole neighborhood to be at 
 full liberty, he made his public addresses to Miss Stanley, sister to the 
 two young gentlemen whom he had placed in Leyden, and married 
 her, Christmas was twelve months," which would make the date of 
 the ceremony Dec. 25, 1734. " In June last it was discovered that 
 the woman was alive, upon which he voluntarily, with the consent of 
 his wife," — he meant Miss Stanley, we suppose, — " came over here." 
 Peter Evans wrote to his brother-in-law. Rev. Dr. Thomas Moore : 
 "Some here say he was too busy at election, which occasioned some of 
 the advei'se party who knew his former wife to send for her," she at 
 that time working, according to Evans, as a charwoman about West- 
 minster. He fled to Bristol, Pennsylvania, the residence of Andrew 
 Hamilton's wife, whose first husband had been his relative on his 
 mother's side, and afterwards he became one of Clement Plumsted's 
 household. 
 
 He assisted the Rev. Archibald Cummings at Christ Church, Phila- 
 delphia, and it was for a license to him to be such assistant that Lang- 
 horne, who was not a Churchman, but a kinsman of the Bishop, wrote 
 the letter. Evans's letter is dated in the following year, and goes on 
 to say that " he wriggled himself into the affections of the multitude, 
 who have generally been bred dissenters," and served Hamilton's 
 
Peters. 237 
 
 spite against the Rector, and raised dissension in the congrega- 
 tion, finally preaching two sermons in which he withdrew from fur- 
 ther connection with Mr. Cummings, and how a secret meeting of 
 some vestrymen was held at a tavern, and an address to the Bp. of 
 London was there framed in his favor. Whatever may have been the 
 merits of the quarrel, the views of Peter Evans seem to have been 
 held by the clergymen of the vicinity, and adopted by the Bishop. 
 Peter's license as assistant was suspended ; and secular employment 
 had to be found for him. In a short time he became Secretary of 
 the Land Office ; and for more than twenty-five years continued in 
 that capacity, being in fact real estate agent for the Proprietaries. It 
 was his duty to prepare warrants authorizing the Surveyor-General to 
 have the land applied for surveyed ; and upon a description of such 
 survey being returned by that oiBcer, and the purchase-money being 
 paid to the Receiver-General, to make out patents conveying the full 
 legal title. The waiving of the strict rules of the office was, however, 
 largely in his discretion ; and that tranquility was preserved between 
 squatters, Indians, and claimants from other colonies, and the authority 
 of the Penn family recognized, shows how well their confidence in him 
 was justified. In the latter part of 1738, he was one of the two com- 
 missioners on the part of Pennsylvania for running a provisional 
 boundary line with Maryland. 
 
 The Rev. George Whitefield, a presbyter of the Church of England, 
 who came to Philadelphia in 1739 on his way to his Orphanage in 
 Georgia, and, travelling up and down the Colonies in the work of re- 
 ligious revival, visited it several times in the following year, preaching 
 to crowds that sometimes numbered more than the total population of 
 the city, tells us in his diary : " Sunday, Nov. 25 [1740] was some- 
 what alarmed this morning by one [elsewhere called "a young gentle- 
 man, once a minister of the Church of England but now Secretary to 
 Mr. Penn "] who, after my sermon told the congregation in the church 
 ■with a loud voice ' That there was no such term as imputed righteous- 
 ness m Holy Scripture ; that such a doctrine put a stop to all goodness ; 
 and that we were to be judged for our good works and obedience, and 
 were commanded to do and live.' When he had ended I denied his 
 first proposition, and brought a text to prove that ' imputed righteous- 
 ness ' was a scriptural expression ; but thinking the church an im- 
 proper place for disputation, I said no more at the time. In the af- 
 ternoon, however, I discoursed upon the words 'The Lord our 
 Righteousness.' " Doubtless there were other attacks upon White- 
 
238 Peters. 
 
 field's Methodistical or Evangelical teachings which caused Gov. 
 Thomas to say a year later, " The stand made by Mr. Peters against 
 Mr. Whitefield was of great service to the Church & the government 
 both which his schemes seemed to have been levelled against and that 
 on this account as well as his other good qualities I think him the fittest 
 person to succeed Mr. Cummings." 
 
 The death of Mr. Cummings, Apr. 23, 1741, gave Peters's friends 
 an opportunity to press his name for the rectorship of Christ Church ; 
 and Thomas Penn expressed these sentiments in this connection in a let- 
 ter to Ferdinand John Paris : " It would have been a great satisfac- 
 tion to me to have left him in the execution of the trust I have for 
 near four years reposed in him, as he has always discharged it with 
 great faithfulness and his understanding & temper render him very fit 
 for such an office where he must transact business with a great num- 
 ber of ignorant people closely tied to their own interests. * * I 
 must say that although I am no member of your church yet as I sin- 
 cerely desire that all religious societies may live in peace & good 
 neighborhood I believe I shall have a satisfaction in the change as I 
 am firmly persuaded Mr. Peters's temper will incline him to promote 
 Christian charity between the several societies and therefore I heartily 
 wish he may be appointed to the church and request your assisting the 
 Gentlemen of the vestry or Mr. Petei's with your interest with the 
 Bishop of London." Peters himself objected, being satisfied with his 
 present business, notwithstanding he had lost in relinquishing the work 
 of the ministry a satisfaction and pleasure greater than any other he 
 had ever enjoyed ; and he pointed out that " on Account of the Dis- 
 tractions many in our Congregation as well as others were put into by 
 Mr. Whitefield & his Followers it would require the nicest skill and 
 the utmost Prudence to preserve the Members of the Church steady to 
 its Worship & Support," that people's minds were soured against him 
 on account of his opposition to AVhitefield, and moreover, and the 
 statement of this did credit to Peters, that his enemies had joined " the 
 Whitefieldians in crying me down as a Frequenter of Taverns, Coffee- 
 houses, Balls, Courts, & Assemblies ; that I had frequently gone (and 
 in my present circumstances I thought T might without any Imputa- 
 tion on my Character) to these places and therefore people would on 
 this account not think so well of me." 
 
 On further argument, he consented to the Vestry recommending him 
 to the Bishop of London for a license, and a petition for that purpose 
 was signed by many of the influential Episcopalians of the City. In 
 
Peters. 239 
 
 it they declared that at the time of his quarrel with the late clergy- 
 man several persons subscribed large sums for the building of a new 
 church and a handsome annual provision for Mr. Peters, but he him- 
 self dissuaded them from it, and finally prevailed upon them all to 
 return to a constant attendance, and to give their Minister his usual 
 support. The older vestrymen, however, still held out against Peters; 
 and, in the interests of peace, the neighboring clergy protested against 
 such an appointment. So the petition failed in its object. Bp. Perry 
 (in whose Historical Collections are the letters above quoted) points 
 out that the opposition to Peters was really from jealousy of Proprie- 
 tary interference, and a laudable desire to jireserve ecclesiastical inde- 
 pendence ; and in fact when, a few years later. Rev. Robert Jenney 
 addressed the vestry on the choice of a successor, he dwelt upon the 
 liberty they had long enjoyed, aud the great disadvantage of having 
 the positiou filled by any one who should be bound by former employ- 
 ment to any great man, aud might be expected to make the ofiSce serve 
 a political interest. Watson tells us, as to the feelings of the petition- 
 firs, that in 1741 the Churchmen of Philadelphia manifested some dis- 
 affection at the alleged supremacy of the Bishop of London, saying that 
 as the Bishop declined to license Mr. Peters after they had choseu him 
 (alleging as a reason his living by his lay functions), they would not 
 accept any person whom he might license, claiming that his diocese did 
 not extend to this Province, and Mr. Peters himself alleging that a 
 right of presentation lay in the Projirietaries and Governor. That 
 they came to a better frame of mind was probably due to the policy of 
 the prelate in not filling the vacancy immediately and to the satisfac- 
 tion given by young Mr. Ross, who devotedly served the congregation 
 in the interim, but it may argue something for the conscientiousness 
 of Richard Peters : for there were turbulent spirits who would have 
 carried things even as far as a breach of the peace, and he would have 
 found it a sin of easy commission to make the Church iu Pennsyl- 
 vania " a house divided against itself." Instead of this^ he became a 
 useful member of the vestry during the incumbency of Dr. Jenney, 
 aud gave liberally to parochial objects. He was then also Secretary of 
 the Province and Clerk to the Council, having been appointed Febru- 
 ary 14, 1742-3. Westcott (Historic Mansions of Philadelphia) says 
 that in 1743 Franklin drew up a proposal for the establishment of a 
 charity school, and supposed that the Rev. Richard Peters would be 
 willing to superintend such an institution, but the latter declined. 
 When__the school was finally started, he became one of the trustees : it 
 
240 Peters. 
 
 afterwards undertook to provide a higher education, and, under the 
 title of " The College, Academy, and Charitable School of Philadel- 
 phia," was the nucleus of the Qniversity of Pennsylvania. Peters 
 became President of the Trustees in 1756. Peters was also an incor- 
 porator of the Philadelphia Library, and one of the original managers 
 of the Pennsylvania Hospital. 
 
 He was sufficiently secularized to engage in trade for a few years, 
 and was a subscriber to the Dancing Assembly of 1749. 
 
 On the 19th of May, 1749, Gov. James Hamilton announced to the 
 Council that he had received a letter from the Proprietaries directing 
 that Mr. Peters be made a member, and, every one expressing his 
 satisfaction at the appointment, he was called in and took the oaths. 
 During the period of his service, even after his return to the pulpit, 
 he went on many important missions to the Indians, and participated 
 as one of the four representatives of Pennsylvania in the Congress at 
 Albany in 1754, when the Six Nations made a deed for the South- 
 western quarter of the state. 
 
 In the beginning of 1762 he resigned his Secretaryships. He was 
 now quite a rich man : and on June 8, 1762 consented to officiate at 
 Christ Church and St. Peter's during the absence of Mr. Duche, who 
 was sent to England for priest's orders. Dr. Jenney had breathed his 
 last, and the Rectorship was vacant, as had been constantly expected 
 for fourteen years, owing to Dr. Jenney's paralysis. Peters served 
 without pay until the return of Mr. Duche, and was elected Rector of 
 the United Churches on December 6th of that year. The Bishop of 
 London by letter dated May 24, 1763 approved of the choice; but 
 required him to observe the form of going to England for a regular 
 license. This he did in the following year. He declined any salary 
 until the debt for building St. Peter's had been paid. He continued 
 Rector until the Revolution, resigning Sep. 23, 1775. 
 
 As to his churchmanship, we have seen that he was not a " low 
 churchman " in the sense that George Whitefield was ; but in reference 
 to any particular canonicity, authority, or mission of the Church of 
 England, his views were decidedly " broad." In 1769, he assisted in 
 the dedication of the Zion Lutheran Church, Fourth St. above Arch, 
 preaching a sermon, which has been printed, and in which he says, 
 " Your invitation to the Ministers and Members of the Episcopal 
 Church * * fills us with a high sense of your brotherly love to 
 us in Christ Jesus. It reminds us of the love and tender affection 
 which subsisted between the first Christian Churches, and which 
 
Pders. 241 
 
 makes so large and delightful a part of the Apostolic Epistles recorded 
 in Scripture. All those numerous congregations which in divers and 
 distant parts and under various forms of Divine worship were brought 
 together by the Apostles and first Preaciiers of the Gospel liad nothing 
 afflictive or joyous in their Affairs but what they were all alike sharers 
 in. * * And is it not much to be lamented that this same affec- 
 tionate intercourse does not prevail now ? * * "^e heartily wish 
 this union of hearts, this communion of affectionate intercourse, was 
 general among Protestant Churches. * May the good God bless 
 this disinterested friendly union ! and may we all use our own earnest 
 endeavors to inspire the same zeal into our children, that we may for- 
 ever continue in the sincere Love of one another, and in an Ofjen un- 
 disguised participation of worship and instruction." He, more- 
 over, modified his views as to the Quakers after reading Barclay's 
 Apology, returning the book to Anthony Benezet with these lines : 
 
 " Long had I censur'd with contemptuous rage, 
 " And curs'd your tenets with the foolish age ; 
 " Thought nothing could appear in your defence, 
 " Till Barclay shone with all the rays of sense ; 
 " His works at least shall make me moderate prove, 
 " And those who practice what he teaches, love." 
 
 He continued a member of the Provincial Council during the entire 
 period of his rectorship, and was obliged to a.sk Provost Smith to take 
 charge of the church, when, at the request of his colleagues in the Coun- 
 cil, he left the City to assist at the Indian Treaty at Fort Stanwix. 
 
 He received the degree of Doctor of Divinity. 
 
 He died July 10, 1776, and was bu. in front of the chancel of 
 Christ Church. By Miss Stanley he had an only child, Grace, who 
 d. in infancy. 
 
 Q 
 
Benjamin Shoemaker. 
 
 The grandmother of Benjamin Shoemaker, described as "Sarah 
 Schumacher of the Palatinate widow," arrived in Philadelpliia 1 mo. 20, 
 1686,inthe Jeffries, Thomas Arnold, Mr., from London, with seven chil- 
 dren, of whom the fourth in age was Isaac, then 17 years old. Isaac 
 became a tanner, and resided in Germantown. He m. Sarah Hen- 
 dricks (b. at Krisheim in the Palatinate 10, 2, 1678, and d. June 15, 
 1742), dau. of Gerhard Hendricks, owner of 200 acres of the German 
 township, who emigrated thither in 1685. Isaac and Sarah Schu- 
 macher were the parents of the Councillor, who, therefore, was a repre- 
 sentative — and the only representative in the Council — of that Conti- 
 nental race which — the first emigrants Quakers, the next Lutherans or 
 Moravians — has predominated in so large a section of our state. 
 
 Benjamin Shoemaker was born at Germantown Aug. 3, 1704, 
 but forsook the retirement of that little settlement and of a people 
 which in Colonial times kept aloof from public affairs, and went into 
 the City to become a merchant, advertising, Mch., 1729, for sale "in 
 High Street opposite the Presbyterian Meeting-House good Linseed 
 Oyl by the barrel or smaller quantity." He was admitted a freeman 
 of the City on the day of his qualifying as a Common Councilman, 
 Oct. 14, 1732, and, ten years later, became an Alderman, and in 1743, 
 Mayor. At the end of his Mayoralty, Philadelphia contained, according 
 to an address to the King, at least 1500 houses and 13,000 inhabitants, 
 and above 300 vessels belonging to his Majesty's dominions in the course 
 of a year arrived at its wharves. From 1751 until his death, Shoe- 
 maker was Treasurer of the City, having succeeded Hasell the Coun- 
 cillor. He was Mayor a second and third time, in 1752 and 1760, 
 the last term receiving a salary of 100^. Prior to this except during a 
 short period, there had been no remuneration for the Mayor, whereas 
 he was expected to spend about 100/. in a grand dinner on leaving 
 office. To the Treasurer was paid 5 per cent, of the receipts and dis- 
 bursements, amounting, however, with the small treasury, to scarcely 
 40/. a year. Shoemaker was invited to a seat in the Provincial Coun- 
 
Shoemaker. 243 
 
 cil at the same time as James Hamilton. Shoemaker was appointed 
 as a Quaker, and remained such throughout his life. It was a principle 
 with the Governors who preceded John Penn to keep a fair number 
 of Quakers, if not as many as there were Churchmen, at the board, 
 although those appointed were scarcely representative men of the sect, 
 but such as were friendly to the Proprietary, and were not likely to 
 obstruct military measures. Shoemaker considered nearly two months 
 whether or not to accept the seat, and at last qualified, Feb. 4, 1745-6. 
 He was an active member until after the French War. He attended 
 the meetings very seldom during the contest between John Penn and 
 the Assembly, and when present gave no opinion on the subject. 
 Penn complained that he had shown no disapprobation of the effort to 
 change the form of government from Proprietary to Royal ; and he 
 had the independence to refuse to put his name to a letter condemna- 
 tory of the Assembly to be sent to the Proprietary family. For this 
 reason, instead of his want of legal training, — for laymen were 
 generally appointed, — John Penn, in 1764, declined making him a 
 Judge of the Supreme Court. At the election of that year, Shoe- 
 maker voted the anti-Proprietary ticket for Members of Assembly.

 Samuel Shoemaker, b. about 1725, son of the Councillor, was a 
 merchant in Philadelphia, in 1755 was elected a Common Councilman 
 of the City, and at the death of his father succeeded him as Treasurer. 
 He was Mayor two years, 1769-1771, and served two terms, 1771— 
 1773, in the Asssembly. He was also a Justice for the County from 
 1761 until the Revolution. He was an active and successful business 
 man, being an attorney for the Pennsylvania Land Co. of London, and 
 a Director of the Philadelphia Contributionship. He was also a mem- 
 ber of the American Philosophical Society. 
 
 Like most of the Quakers, he disapproved of the Revolutionary 
 War, not only from peace principles, but from a desire to remain un- 
 der the King's government. On the landing of the British at the 
 head of Chesapeake Bay for the attack of Philadelphia, Congress re- 
 commended the arrest of certain Quakers and all persons inimical 
 to the cause of America, and the Supreme Executive Council of Penn- 
 sylvania, in pursuance of this recommendation, ordered Samuel Shoe- 
 maker with the others to be seized and imprisoned in the Freemasons' 
 Lodge or other convenient place, unless they should stipulate in writ- 
 ing to remain at their homes ready to appear on demand of the Coun- 
 cil, and refrain from doing anything injurious to the United States by 
 speaking, writing, or otherwise, and from giving intelligence to the 
 enemy. Shoemaker appears to have made the promise required, and 
 thus escaped banishment to Virginia. 
 
 On Sep. 26, 1777, less than a month after the arrest of the Quakers, 
 the British army, victors at Brandywine, entered Philadelphia. In 
 
Shoemaker. 245 
 
 December, a Superintendent of Police was appointed, and the civil 
 government committetl to him and two Justices of the Peace. Shoe- 
 maker was one of the Justices. While holding this position, he was 
 punished by the Assembly of the State with confiscation of his prop- 
 erty, the bill of attainder against Galloway and others, passed March 
 6, 1778, imposing that penalty upon him, unless he should surrender 
 himself by the following 20th of April, and stand trial for high 
 treason, which, of course, it was impossible for him to do. The 
 British continued in Philadelphia until June, 1778, when_ Shoemaker, 
 accompanying the army, went to New York. The agents of forfeited 
 estates then put up his property for sale; and some of it went into the 
 possession of the University of Pennsylvania, which the Revolutionary 
 government had endowed witii Tory real estate. Sabine's American 
 Loyalists says that at New York, where Shoemaker remained until 
 after the Treaty of Peace, he exerted himself in behalf of the im- 
 prisoned Whigs, and had many of them sent home. On November 19, 
 1783, a few days before the British evacuated New York, he left 
 America, taking with him his young son Edward, and residing in 
 England until the animosities of the War had sufficiently subsided. 
 An extract from his diary giving an account of his introduction to the 
 King and Royal family in West's studio at Windsor Castle is pub- 
 lished in Penna. Mag., Vol. II, p. 35. In London, he was fre- 
 quently consulted by the government upon the claims of Loyalists to 
 compensation for alleged losses. Such parts of his estate as had not 
 been previously sold by the agents of Pennsylvania were protected to 
 him by the Treaty of Peace of 1783. He returned to America in the 
 Spring of 1786, and for sometime lived at Burlington. He d. Phila.

 Apr. 28, 1759, and was educated at the Friends' Academy in Phila. 
 
256 Shoemaker — Rawle branch. 
 
 His father had died when lie was but little more than two years old. 
 Upon the evacuation of Philadelphia by the British, he accompanied 
 his step-father to New York, at his mother's request, and there began 
 the study of law under Atty. Gen. Kempe. Seeking greater advant- 
 ages, and to escape the din of Toryism, with which he was not in ac- 
 cord he sailed for England on June 15, 1781, and in August, was ad- 
 mitted to the Middle Temple, where he completed his legal studies. 
 After travelling on the Continent, he returned to Philadelphia in 
 January, 1783, and on September 15, two months before his marriage, 
 was admitted to the bar. He soon gained the regard of his fellow 
 citizens. In 1786, he was elected a Member of the American Philo- 
 sophical Society, and also Secretary of the Library Co. He held the 
 latter office until 1792, when he became a Director, serving as such 
 until 1798, and subsequently from 1821 to 1825. In 1787, he joined 
 "The Society for Political Inquiries "just forming, which met weekly 
 at Franklin's house. In October, 1789, he was chosen a Member of 
 the General Assembly of the State, notwithstanding that he had de- 
 clined the nomination, and had published his refusal to serve. The 
 importunities of his friends induced him to take his seat. He was a 
 decided Federalist, and a personal friend as well as admirer of Washing- 
 ton. He was requested to become a candidate for re-election, but so 
 strong was his objection to political life that he positively declined. 
 
 In 1791, he was appointed U. S. Attorney for the District of Penn- 
 sylvania, holding the office until 1800, and in 1792 declining the 
 Judgeship of the U. S. District Court. In Feb., 1792, he became 
 Attorney and Counsel for the Bank of the United States. He was 
 many years a Trustee of the University of Pennsylvania. At the in- 
 corporation of the Law Academy of Philadelphia in 1821, he was 
 chosen its Vice President. In 1822, he was made Chancellor of the 
 "Associated Members of the Bar of Philadelphia," and upon its union 
 in 1827 with " The Law Library Company of Philadelphia " (of which 
 he was also a member) under the name of " The Law Association of 
 Philadelphia," he was elected Chancellor of the new institution, and 
 held the office until his death. He was one of the founders of the 
 Historical Society of Pennsylvania, organized in 1824, and was chosen 
 its first President. 
 
 He twice declined the position of President Judge of the District 
 Court of Philadelphia County. In 1830, he was appointed with Thomas 
 I. Wharton and Hon. Joel Jones to revise the Civil Code of Pennsyl- 
 
Shoemuxher — Rawie branch. 257 
 
 vania, and was the principal author of the reports of the Commission, the 
 valuable results of whose labors are embodied iu statutes still remain- 
 ing in force. Besides various addresses, Mr. Rawle was the author of 
 ^' A View of the Constitution of the United States " (1825) which con- 
 tinued to be the chief authority and text-book on that subject for 
 nearly forty years. 
 
 He left various MSS. on theological matters, among them an "Essay 
 on Angelic Influences," also an argument on "Original Sin and the 
 Virtue of Baptism," and an argument on the evidences of Christianity 
 i\s found in the miracles of Our Lord. He began also a translation of 
 the Pheedon of Plato, intending to add a commentary, and the portions 
 he finished " would in themselves alone," according to David Paul 
 Brown, "suflQce to protect his name against oblivion." He was 
 hon. LL.D. (Princeton 1827 and Dartmouth 1828). 
 He died April 12, 1836.

 William Rawle, b. Phila. July 19, 1788, son of William and 
 Sarah Coates Rawle, for some time attended Princeton College, and 
 was admitted to the Phila. bar on May 21, 1810. During the War 
 of 1812, he served as Captain of the 2nd Troop, Phila. City Cavalry. 
 Returning to the practice of the law, he in due time attained a rank at 
 the bar but little inferior to his father's before him ; and the name of 
 William Rawle Jr. is among the first in the annals of a profession 
 where the abilities of Philadelphians'have become proverbial. In his 
 twenty-sixth year, he began with Hon. Thomas Sergeant the prepara- 
 tion of reports of the Decisions of the Supreme Court of the State, and 
 they published eighteen volumes. Judge Sergeant retiring from the 
 work in 1828, Rawle continued it until 1835, publishing five volumes. 
 From 1835 to 1840, he was a Member of the Common Council of the 
 City, and for four years was President of that body. He was chosen 
 a member of the American Philos. Society in 1841. He was for 
 many years a Vice President of the Historical Society and Secretary 
 and afterwards a Director of the Library Co. and also a Trustee of the 
 University. He d. at his son's country-seat in Montgomery Co., Pa.,

 Declaration of Independence, but afterwards became " disaffected," and, 
 making trading trips to Virginia, was carried by the British to New 
 York, where he accepted command of a British privateer, but in 1780 
 his boat was taken by the Americans. Nothing further is known to 
 us of himself or his family.

Thomas Hopkinson, 
 
 Thomas Hopkixson was tlie son of Thomas and Mary Hopkin- 
 son of London, the father being a merchant. Thomas Hopkinson was 
 born in London April 6, 1709, and is said to have attended Oxford, but 
 did not i;;raduate. He studied law, and about 1731 emigrated to 
 Pennsylvania. He became deputy to Charles Read, Clerk of the 
 Orphans' Court of Philadelphia Co., and, on the death of Read, was 
 commissioned as his successor. He was also Master of the Rolls from 
 June 20, 1736 until 1741, was Deputy Prothonotary and afterwards 
 Prothonotary of Phila. Co., and was chosen a Common Councilman of 
 the City Oct. 6, 1741. He practised law, and for several years was 
 Judge of the Admiralty. He became a member of the Provincial 
 Council May 13, 1747. Two years later he became also a County 
 Justice. He took part in all the public enterprises of the time, 
 being one of the corporators of the Library Company, one of the origi- 
 nal Trustees of the College, a subscriber to the first Dancing Assembly 
 and also the first President of the Philosophical Society. As to his 
 attainments in natural philosophy, we have this fact mentioned by Dr. 
 Franklin : " The power of points to throw off the electrical fire was 
 first communicated to me by my ingenious friend Mr. Thomas Hop- 
 kinson since deceased, whose virtue and integrity in every station of 
 life, public and private, will ever make his memory dear to those who 
 knew him and knew how to value him." He d. in Phila. Nov. 5,

 America, — He was an active member of the Philosophical 
 Society. He went to Jamaica in 1773 to solicit subscriptions 
 for the College. The Continental Congress appointed him 
 Director-General and Physician in Ciiief of the General Hos- 
 pital of the Army in 1775, but removed him from this posi- 
 tion in 1777, because of various charges against him, of all 
 of which he was subsequently acquitted. He was member 
 of the Society of Belles Lettres of Rome, the Academy of 
 Surgery of Paris, and the Colleges of Physicians of London,

 of the class besides Duche and Morgan, who married his sisters, being 
 James Latta, afterwards a Presbyterian clergyman, Paul Jackson, af- 
 terwards tutor in the institution, Samuel Magaw, who became its Vice 
 Provost, and Hugh Williamson, who attained celebrity as a man of 
 science, and sat in tiie Continental Congress. In 1759, Hopkinson 
 was made Secretary of the Library Co. He studied law under Ben- 
 jamin Chew the Councillor, and was admitted to the bar in 1761. In 
 that year he acted as secretary at a treaty with the Indians, which he 
 commemorates in his earliest known poetical effusion, " The Treaty," 
 published soon afterwards. In the next few years, while practising 
 law in Philadelphia, he was a very active member of the United 
 Episcopal Churciies, serving in the capacity of Secretary to the Vestry, 
 and organist of Christ Church, and training the children of both con- 
 gregations in " the art of psalmody." From February, 1764, to May 
 1765, he acted as librarian as well as secretary of the Philadelphia 
 Library. In October, 1765, appeared in the Pennsylvania Journal the 
 following advertisement : " This is to inform the Public that the 
 'subscriber, intending to follow the business of Conveyancing in all 
 "its brandies, has taken a room for that purpose at the corner of 
 "Lsetitia Court in Market Street. All those who may be pleased to 
 "favour him with their employ may depend on being served with all 
 'the fidelity, accuracy and disi)atch in his power. Francis Hopkiu- 
 "son." 
 
 In the following May, he embarked for Europe in company with 
 liis friend Redmond Conyngham, who was returning to his estate at 
 Letterkinny, Iieland. They arrived at Londonderry June 27tii, after 
 a voyage of thirty two days. Spending a few weeks in Ireland, he 
 j)roceeded to London, where, with occasional visits to Hartlebury 
 Castle, the residence of his cousin the Bishop of Worcester, he re"

 mained about a year, associating with John Penn, Benjamin West, 
 Lord North, and other persons of distinction, and endeavoring with- 
 out success to be appointed one of the Commissioners of the Customs 
 for North America. After his return to his native place, he resumed 
 the practice of law, and also for some time kept store. His dwelling, 
 where also he consulted with his clients, and sold his wares, was in 
 Race Street above 3rd. He was a member of both of the societies 
 which, in 1769, united to form the American Philosophical Society 
 held at Philadeipiiia for Promoting Useful Knowledge. He was a 
 warden of Christ Church 1770-1771, and a director of the Libraiy 
 Co. from 1771 to 1773. In March, 1772, he was appointed Collector 
 of the Customs at New Castle. He performed the duties by deputy. 
 Brought into affiiations witli New Jersey by his marriage, and for 
 some years more or less a resident of Bordentown in that province, he 
 was a member of its Provincial Council from 1774 until the Revolu- 
 tion, and in June, 1776, was chosen by the Constitutional Convention 
 one of its delegates to the Continental Congress. He served on the 
 committee of that body to draft Articles of Confederation, he voted in 
 favor of declaring America independent, and signed the Declaration 
 of Independence. He was intrusted with imporlant duties connected 
 with the Continental navy, being tlie head of that department of the 
 government. He also was Treasurer of the Continental Loan Office. 
 In January, 1778, he wrote his best known ballad, "The Battle of 
 the Kegs," descriptive of the attempt upon the British in Philadelphia 
 with torpedoes from up the Delaware, which floated harmlessly past 
 the city. " Possessing just enough of the spirit of true poetry to please 
 the mass, while the rather doggerel versification rendered it easy to 
 recite, it presented the most ridiculous side of the subject in the wittiest 
 possible manner." Throughout the war he supported the cause of the 
 new States in various productions of his pen in prose and verse ; 
 and Dr. Benjamin Rush has said, " The various causes which contri- 
 buted to the establishment of the Independence and federal govern- 
 ment of the United States will not be fully traced unless much is 
 ascribed to the irresistible influence of the ridicule which he poured 
 forth, from time to time, upon the enemies of those great political 
 events." By appoiutment from the Supreme Executive Council of 
 Pennsylvania, he succeeded George Ross as Judge of the Admiralty at 
 Philadelphia, and, although impeached by the Assembly of the State 
 of various misdemeanors, but of all of which he was acquitted (the 
 account of his trial has been published), he held the position, being 
 
Hopkinson. 269 
 
 twice reappointed, from July 16, 1779 until after the Federal Consti- 
 tution went into force. In February, 1789. lie published a volume of 
 his decisions. After the meeting of the Convention wliich framed the 
 Federal Constitution, he wrote a humorous pioce, " History of a 
 New Roof," which strongly influenced the public in favor of its adop- 
 tion. On the establishment of the District Court of the United 
 States for tiie District of Pennsylvania, of the business of which ad- 
 miralty causes were to form the chief part, President Washington ap- 
 pointed him Judge. He died, while holding this office, on Monday 
 May 9, 1791 of a stroke of apoplexy, wiiich carried him off in a 
 couple of hours.

 connected with the theatre, and wished a patriotic song to sing at his 
 benefit. Advancing rapidly in his profession, lie was leading counsel 
 for Dr. Rush in his suit against William Cobbett in 1799. He was 
 also one of the counsel for Justice Samuel Chase in his impeachment 
 trial before the U. S. Senate in 1805. Sanderson's Lives of the Sign- 
 ers says, " The speech of Mr. Hopkinson, who was then a very young 
 man, has not been exceeded as a specimen of powerful and brilliant 
 eloquence in the forensic oratory of our country." Chase was ac-

 A Federalist in politics, he was elected in 1814 a representative in

 and held the ofiice until his death. He was a member of the conven- 
 tion of 1837 to revise the Constitution of Pennsylvania and as Chair-

 Elizabeth Hopkinson, b. Phila. Sep. 15, 1738, dau. of the 
 Coiincillor, d. Mch. 22, 1797, m. Xt. Ch. by Eev. Wm. Sturgeon 
 June 19, 1759 at 5 o'clock in the morning to Eev. Jacob Duche of 
 Phila., bapt. Xt. Ch. Feb. 12, 1737-8 aged 1 month, son of Jacob 
 Duch6, Mayor of Phila. in 1761, by his 1st w. Mary Spence. Rev. 
 Jacob Duche was a graduate of the College of Phila. of the same class 
 with his bro.-in-law Francis Hopkinson and John Morgan, and had 
 been also a tutor in that institution before graduating. He went 
 abroad in 1758, and entered Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, but 
 in the following year his father determined to recall him home. In 
 February, 1759, his father being impatient for his return, the vestry 
 of Christ Church wrote to the Bishop of London recommending the ap- 
 pointment of young Mr. Duche as one of the Assistant Ministers. He 
 was admitted to the Diaconate, and returned to America just before 
 his marriage. On Sep. 27, 1759, he was received as one of the Assist- 
 ant Ministers of Christ Church. A large number of the people wanted 
 Eev. William McClenachan chosen for that position, and obliged the 
 Kector to accept him as an additional Assistant, until finally St. Paul's 
 Church was built for his use. In 1759, Duche was made Teacher of 
 Oratory in the College of Philadelphia. In June, 1762, he went to 
 England to be ordained Priest, and on his return he was put in charge 
 of St. Peter's, which had been finished about a year before. Rev. E. 
 D. Neill, in his sketch of Duche in Peuua. Mag., Vol. II., says " His 
 earnest preaching without notes and distinct and fervent reading of the 
 liturgy attracted good congregations." The Oxford missionary, how- 
 ever, complained in 1764 that he gave encouragement to the forma- 
 tion of a Methodist congregation in the immediate vicinity of Oxford 
 Church, and in one of his letters said that Duche had formed his theo- 
 logical system from Jacob Boehmen, Mr. Law, and Mr. Whitefield. 
 His first published sermon was " The Life and Death of the Right- 
 eous," preached Feb. 13, 1763 at the funeral of Mr. Evan Morgan, on 
 the title-page of which he describes himself as also " Chaplain to the 
 Rt. Hon. the Earl of Stirling." He also published other sermons and 
 a series of essays in 1774 under the signature Tamoc Caspipina, which 
 were several times republished in Europe. On the second day of the 
 session of the first Continental Congress in 1774, it was resolved that 
 
Hopkinson — Rev. Jacob Duche. 277 
 
 the proceedings on the day following should be opened with prayer, 
 and, on motion of Samuel Adams of Massachusetts, a Congregatioualist, 
 Mr. Duche was asked for that office. He came in his robes with his 
 clerk, and read part of morning prayer including the psalter, the 35th 
 psalm appearing singularly appropriate. He then made an extempore 
 prayer, which John Adams greatly admired. Duche also preached 
 the funeral sermou over Peyton Randolph, who died in Philadelphia 
 Oct. 22, 1774, while President of Congress. Duche succeeded Peters 
 the Councillor as Rector of the United Churches in 1775. On July 
 4, 1776, the Vestry of the Churches, evidently with his approval, met 
 at his house, he presiding, and resolved that in consequence of the 
 Declaration of Independence " it will be proper to omit those petitions 
 in the Liturgy wherein the King of Great Britain is prayed for," and 
 four days later Duche accepted a re-appointment as Chaplain to Con- 
 gress to open the proceedings with prayer every morning. In Octo- 
 ber, he resigned and returned the money which Congress voted him on 
 accepting his resignation. He remained in Philadelphia on the ap- 
 proach of the British, and on the Sunday after they entered, resumed 
 praying for the King, but on leaving the church was arrested on ac- 
 count of his former conduct. He remained in jail one night. By the 
 next day the British general had been satisfied as to his submission. 
 Two months later he went to England, having meanwhile written 
 a letter to Gen. Washington urging his return to allegiance to the 
 King. Duche was attainted of high treason to the State of Pennsyl- 
 "vania by Act of Assembly, and his estate confiscated. His house and 
 lot on the East side of Third Street between Pine and Union was

 where he studied law, and wrote against republican govern- 
 ment. His writings attracted the notice of Sir James Craig, 
 Governor-General of Canada, who, in the winter of 1809, 
 employed him on a secret mission to New England to ascer- 
 tain the state of public feeling in reference to a war with 
 Great Britain, and whether the Federalists were likely to 
 bring about a separation of those states from the American 
 Union, and would look to the British government for aid. 
 He spent nearly three months in Boston, and reported the 
 opinion that the Democrats would not take the responsibility 
 of bringing on a war, but if war were declared, the legisla- 
 ture of Massachusetts would call a Congress of the Federal- 
 ist states, and erect a new confederacy. The British gov- 
 ernment not recompensing Henry for his services, he dis- 
 closed the affair to the American Secretary of State in 1811, 
 causing great excitement.

Ralph Assheton. 
 
 Burke's Extinct Baronetcies gives the knightly lineage of the lords 
 of Ashton-under-Lyne in Salford Hundred, Lancashire, naming among 
 them Sir John de Assheton, who was made a Knight of the Bath at 
 the coronation of Henry IV. His eldest son and heir was Sir Thomas 
 Assheton, and Sir Thomas's third son was Geffrey Assheton, who m. 
 the daughter and heiress of Thomas Manners of Shipley. He seems 
 to have carried on the elder branch of the family : the Asshetons of 
 Middleton (of whom were Sir Ralph Assheton of Lever, made Baronet 
 in 1620, and Sir Ralph Assheton of Middleton, made Baronet by 
 Charles II) were descended from Ralph, the younger son of the afore- 
 said Sir John de Assheton. A grant of arms was made Aug. 16, 
 1632 to Ashton of Shepley, co. Lancaster (Burke's Gen. Armory), 
 who must be accounted the ancestor of the Asshetons of Pennsylvania. 
 William Assheton, eldest son of the emigrant to America, bore on his 
 book plate the arms : quarterly, first and fourth, ar. a mullet sa. 
 pierced of the field (which are precisely the arms of Assheton, or Ash- 
 ton, of Shepley, as well as of Assheton of Downham Hall, descended 
 from a son of Assheton of Lever) ; and second and third, ar. a mascle 
 within a bordure engr. sa. (the arms of Shepley of Yorkshire and Sur- 
 rey). The crest on the book plate is that described in Burke as the 
 crest of Ashton of Shepley : a mower with his scythe, his face and 
 hands ppr., his habit and cap counterchanged ar. and sa., the handle 
 of the scythe or, the blade ar. as in action. From Burke's account of 
 the Lever branch, Mrs. Frances Watts nee Assheton is wrong in say- 
 ing, as she has left on record, of the father of the emigrant, " William 
 Assheton, descended from Sir Ralph A&sheton, Baronet, one of the 
 first of that order instituted by King James I." We make him 
 merely of the same family as Sir Ralph. Perhaps she did not mean 
 direct descent ; for she goes on to say, " was settled at Salford in the 
 Dutchy of Lancaster. I have not found papers to ascertain the par- 
 ticulars of his descent, but no doubt they are on record in England, as 
 he was one of the Lancaster Heralds of arms, an office of considerable 
 
282 Asshdon. 
 
 distinction. The family was of great antiquity and high distinction, 
 and allied to many noble families." 
 
 Of the parents and kindred of the first Assheton of Pennsylvania, 
 there is considerable information in an aflBdavit made July 2, 1751 in 
 connection with the title to certain land, and recorded in the deeds office 
 in Phila. Jeffrey Hart of Salford, Co. Lancaster, chapman, aged 57, who 
 married Margaret, dau. of Robert Ashton, or Asheton, clerk, then Minis- 
 ter of Trinity Chapel in Salford, and brother of William Asheton, tes- 
 tified that William Asheton was an attorney-at-law and one of the 
 coroners of the County and a Deputy Herald at Arms, and had issue 
 by Frances his wife, an eldest son, Robert, who went to Pennsylvania, 
 and three daughters, Frances, Mary, and Rachel. Frances (bapt. at 
 Salford Mch. 15, 1675, as per certificate also on record) m., 1st, 
 Robert Booth, Esq., and, 2nd, William Legh, Esq., and she was a 
 widow living in Manchester at the date of the affidavit. Mary (bapt. 
 at Salford May 6, 1680, as certified) m. Thomas Warburton of Part- 
 ington in Cheshire, gentleman, and she was a widow in Salford at 
 said date. Rachel, sister of Robert Assheton the emigrant, m. An- 
 drew Ashton of Manchester, checkmaker, and d. s. p. (bu. Trinity 
 Chapel, Salford, Jany. 22, 1745.) William Asheton's wife was a 
 relation of William Penn, and the latter on May 30, 1687 conveyed 
 3000 acres of land in Pennsylvania to his " cousins Robert, Frances, 
 Mary, Rachel, and John Assheton of the County of Lancaster in the 
 Kingdom of England." John Assheton died without issue. 
 
 Robert Assheton, the emigrant to Pennsylvania, was a lawyer, so 
 his granddaughter Mrs. Watts says. Governor Gordon in 1726 re- 
 minded the Council that " the said Robert Assheton had been invited 
 over to tliis country by the Proprietor himself as his near relation 
 above 27 years since to take upon him some advantageous posts in 
 clerkship for which by his education he was very well qualified, and 
 that he had with great abilities for about 26 years filled the office of 
 Clerk and Prothonotary of the City and County of Philadelphia." 
 David Paul Brown, in " The Forum," says that after this gentleman 
 of legal education undertook the keeping of the court records, we 
 notice a marked improvement in their character. At the chartering 
 of the City of Philadelphia in 1701, he was named Town Clerk, and, 
 elected in 1708 Recorder, he held both ofiices until his son succeeded him 
 as Town Clerk. Also Prothonotary of the Supreme Court of the Pro- 
 vince, and from 1722 to 1726 a Justice of the same Court, and ad- 
 mitted to the Provincial Council in July, 1711, and made a Master ia 
 
Assheton. 283 
 
 Chancery July 25, 1722, be for some time lield nearly every office 
 connected with the administration of justice, having, moreover, as one 
 of " the practitioners of the law," been consulted constantly before he 
 became a Provincial Councillor upon bills relating to the judiciary. 
 He seems to have guided the Governor on this subject, just as David 
 Lloyd guided the Assembly. The Penna. Archives published by the 
 State include the draft of a bill for the establishment of courts pre- 
 pared by him in 1714. In it is provision for a separate court of 
 equity — an institution long advocated by the lawyers of the Province, 
 and finally established in 1720 with the name " High Court of Chan- 
 cery," the Lieut.-Governor sitting as Chancellor with certain of his- 
 Councillors as Masters, the constitution of the court differing from 
 that in Assheton's scheme. It had the short existence of fifteen years. 
 Assheton was some time Deputy Clerk of the Council, and also Naval 
 Officer, being removed from the latter position by Lieut. Gov. Keith, 
 Keith also suspended him in 1719 from membership of the C«uneil, 
 charging him with divulging the debates to the Governor's prejudice, 
 and with representing to the Penns that the Governor was aiming to 
 overturn their authority — Assheton had sided against Keith. Keith 
 recalled him May 18, 1722, and called his eldest son to the Board, 
 " being desirous to have the vacancies at the Council Board filled up 
 with such as are related to the Proprietor's family, in order to give me 
 their best advice on all occasions where that interest happens to be 
 concerned." He died suddenly at the Council table May 29, 1727, 
 in the 58th year of his age (Obit. Notice), and was buried on the 30th 
 — by torchlight, says Watson's Annals, — under Christ Church, of 
 which he had been an active vestryman.

 Ralph Assheton, born at Salford in Lancashire, November 30, 
 1695, was brought to Pennsylvania by his parents when scarcely four 
 years old, and seems to have depended for his education on the schools 
 of the province. Penn took care of his kindred in providing officials 
 for the government which he had founded. The Asshetons, thus in- 
 troduced into the colony, depended upou public employment as a

 means of livelihood, and either their capacity or else their claim was 
 generally recognized among the Proprietary's friends. Accordingly 
 when Ralph was in his eighteenth year, the Clerk of the Provincial 
 Council, reminding the members present that since his going abroad 
 he had been assisted by Robert Assheton as his Deputy, now offered, 
 young Ralph beginning to be fit for business, to constitute him his 
 Deputy Clerk. To this the Board unanimously agreed : and Ralph 
 Assheton continued in this capacity for some time. In August, 1716, 
 it being thought that the offices of Recorder and Town Clerk of Phila- 
 delphia should not be held by the same person, as had been the case 
 since 1708, when Robert Assheton, named as Town Clerk in the 
 Charter, was elected Recorder, it was therefore moved in the Corpora- 
 tion that if the present incumbent consent, his son Ralph should take 
 the Clerkship : whereupon the elder Assheton thanked the members 
 for the regard they had for his son, and agreed to relinquish the office 
 on the 30th of November following, when Ralph should be of age. 
 Ralph Assheton, qualifying on that date, was Town Clerk of Phila- 
 delphia during the whole period of his manhood. At his death, he 
 was succeeded by Andrew Hamilton the second. In order to permit 
 his going abroad, he obtained the consent of the Corporation to the 
 appointment of Fenwick Lyell as his Deputy. While in England he 
 was consignee of some merchandise shipped by James Logan. 
 
 He was a subscribing witness to the letters of attorney from Han- 
 nah Penn and the mortgagees of Pennsylvania, dated April 24, 1724 
 and May 25, 1724 respectively, and swore to the signature of Hannah 
 Penn and John Woods of London on Aug. 1st following. In Oc- 
 tober, 1724, he was made a Common Councilman of the City, and four 
 years later was called to the Provincial Council, qualifying October 
 11, 1728. He was subsequently a County Justice also, sitting for the 
 trial of oifences against the Peace, the settlement of Common Pleas, 
 and the administration of the business of an Orphans' Court. He also 
 sat in the Court of Chancery from July, 1730 until it was abolished, 
 the Masters being appointed from the Provincial Council, and several 
 of them joining the Governor, who acted as Chancellor, in the decision 
 of causes. Ralph Assheton was also a practitioner of the law, his 
 name being in the Minutes of the Court of Chancery as counsel in one 
 case and also several times in the Dockets of the Supreme Court. He 
 figures in the list of " Departed Saints of the Law with whom I have 
 been at the Bar," which is scribbled on a leaf of an old Continuance 
 Docket of the Common Pleas. But it is probable that he derived his 
 support from the plantation on which he resided on the West bank of 
 
286 Assheton. 
 
 the Schuylkill, being 750 acres now included within the 24th Ward 
 of Philadelphia, which he bought from George Roche in 1729. The 
 liouse is still standing on a bluff overlooking the Pennsylvania Rail 
 Road tracks a little North of Haverford Street. On the property was 
 a valuable stone quarry, which he worked, and also a brewery, con- 
 ducted by his son-in-law Humphreys. He also had the franchise of 
 running a ferry where now stands the Callowhill Street bridge, this 
 being the " Upper Ferry " of the Schuylkill, sometimes called " Asshe- 
 ton's Ferry." His other real estate included some lots near Schuyl- 
 kill Front and Vine Streets, and from this, Assheton Street, as 
 Twenty Third was formerly called, took its name. His personalty 
 at his death did not amount to enough to pay 1982/. 6«. 2d. indebted- 
 ness. In the inventory exhibited to the Orphans' Court, a conspicu- 
 ous item is 290 oz. of silver plate appraised at 123/. 5s. Ralph Asshe- 
 ton died in his 51st year, bu. Xt. Ch. Feb. 20, 1745-6. The follow-

John Penn. 
 
 From a William Penn of Mintie, Gloucestershire, yeoman, whose 
 will was probated in 1592 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and 
 who ap[)ears from John Penn's letter (see Conner's Sketch of Admiral 
 Penn) to have been son of the secularized monk who built Penn Lodge, 
 Co. Wilts, descended tiie Founder of Pennsylvania. The grandfather 
 of the latter, Giles Penn, was a captain in the navy; but the eminence 
 of the family was achieved by Giles's son, William, who rose to be Vice 
 Admiral of England before he was thirty one years of age. He was 
 knighted by King Charles II, and served under the Duke of York, 
 afterwards King James II. 
 
 William Penn, son and executor of the Admiral, after embracing 
 the principles of Friends, obtained the grant of the soil and govern- 
 ment of Pennsylvania in consideration of his father's services and a 
 debt due from the Crown. The Duke of York granted to him the 
 Lower Counties, comprising what is now tlie State of Delaware. Wil- 
 liam Penn, the first Proprietary, died July 30, 1718, leaving by his 
 1st wife, Gulielma Maria, dau. and heiress of Sir William Springett, 
 Kt., a son and dau. : William and Lsetitia, the latter d. s. p., and the 
 former being ancestor of the Penn-Gaskell family. 
 
 The Proprietaryship of Pennsylvania &ct. passed under the first 
 Proprietary's will to his sons John, Thomas, and Richard, chil- 
 dren of his 2nd wife, Hannah, dau. of Thomas Callowhill of Bristol. 
 John, who had a double share, d. s. p. Oct. 18, 1746, whereby three 
 fourths of Pennsylvania vested in his brother Thomas. The latter 
 married in 1751 Juliana, 4th dau. of the Earl of Pom fret, and was 
 ancestor of Thomas Gordon Penn, the last male of that line, who d. 
 Sep. 9, 1869, and of William Stuart, Esq., of Bedfordshire, Eng., now 
 heir-at-law of the Founder. 
 
 Richard Penn,sou of the first Proprietary, and entitled toonefourth 
 of tiie Proprietary estate, withdrew from the Society of Friends, and 
 brought up his children in the Church of England, and resided in 
 England, where he d. Jany., 1771, m. Hannah Lardner, sister of the 
 Councillor of that name, and had issue : Jolin Penn, the Councillor, 
 
John Penn. 309 
 
 Richard Penn, the Councillor, Hannah Penn, and William Penu, the 
 last d. y., and Hannah m. James Clayton. 
 
 John Pexn, son of Richard and Hannah Penn, was b. Loudon 
 July 14, 1729. While a school boy, he clandestinely married the 
 daughter of a James Cox of London, in her self or her surroundings 
 objectionable to his family. His uncle Thomas Penu, who was then 
 a bachelor interested in his brother's children, discovered it, hunted 
 him up, and sent him out of England. Under the charge of Robert 
 Dunant, whom his uncle employed as his governor, he was taken to 
 Geneva, and at the University of that city, acquired great proficiency 
 in his studies, bitterly repenting of his rash step as he reflected upon 
 what he had done, and as he found his wife's family were trying to 
 communicate with him. The lather-in-law wrote to him in 1751, 
 after he had been away four years, to induce him to cut loose from the 
 Penn family, as he wasof age, and his uncle's recent marriage rendered 
 it unlikely that he should be his heir; but John Penn, after a trip to 
 Italy, where he spent more money than his uncle thought proper, 
 cheerfully submitted to his uncle and father, who did not scruple at 
 sending him permanently from his wife. Lieut. Gov. Hamilton, to 
 whom the story was confided, offered him a home in Pennsylvania. 
 In order to see his father before crossing the Atlantic, he came as pri- 
 vately as possible to England. His return being discovered, he hastily 
 withdrew to Lille, and waited until an opportunity offered to go to 
 America. He then recrossed the Channel, took ship, and, after vari- 
 ous delays and a voyage of seven weeks and three days, arrived in 
 New York, Nov. 21, 1752. He reached Philadelphia on December 
 1st, and became the guest of Hamilton at Bush Hill. Richard Hock- 
 ley writes, " The approbation of our beef and Madeira wine makes me 
 imagine this will not be the most disagreeable part of the world he has 
 hitherto resided in." On Feb. 6, 1753, the Lieutenant-Governor pro- 
 posed his introduction as a member of the Provincial Council, and 
 asked the gentlemen present what place they would offer him ; where- 
 upon it was unanimously agreed that he should rank as first named, or 
 eldest, Councillor, and be President on the death or absence of the 
 Governor. His name first appears upon the minutes in August fol- 
 lowing. He was one of the commissioners to the Congress at Albany 
 in the summer of 1754, and made several journeys to the neighboring 
 colonies. Nevertheless his trouble made him again despondent : he 
 began to shun company, he would have joined Braddock's army had 
 
310 John Penn. 
 
 I 
 
 any Pennsylvania troops formed part of it, and perhaps have died on 
 the field which that officer's imprudence made so disastrous. Some 
 two months after the defeat, he returned to England. In the course 
 of the seven years whicii elapsed before his second visit to America, it 
 is to be presumed that death relieved him of the claim which had em- 
 barrassed him ; for he seems to have been free when commissioned by 
 his uncle and his father Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylvania and the 
 Lower Counties. 
 
 He arrived as Lieutenant-Governor October 30, 1763, succeed- 
 ing the most unpopular Chief Magistrate of later Provincial times, 
 William Denny, and so with whatever feeling of loyalty there M'as for 
 the Penn family, he was welcomed by the j^eople. But the long con- 
 test between the Proprietary deputies and the Assembly on the ques- 
 tion of taxing the Pro2)rietary estates and between the Quakers and 
 the Churchmen and Presbyterians on the question of defending the 
 Province had left divisions and resentments to become alarming as 
 dangers from without called for money and soldiers. Thus the first 
 year of his term, at no time a happy one, witnessed a state of aifairs 
 which threatened the very existence of civil government. The Assem- 
 bly, being pretty well under the control of the Quakers, who num- 
 bered twenty two of its members, although it could no longer refuse 
 appropriations " for the King's use," nevertheless failed to satisfy the 
 Scotch-Irish on the Frontier, who saw large sums of money lavished 
 in presents to Indians, while they lay destitute from the ravages of an 
 Indian war. And as every now and then some of their kinsmen or 
 neighbors fell by the tomahawk, they became exasperated, coupling 
 their vengeance against the guilty savages with jealousy of the Assem- 
 bly's partiality and suspicion against those Indians who were treated as 
 friends. A cry like the old Covenanters' came from their descendants 
 in Pennsylvania: loud exhortations were heard on the frontier to carry 
 out against the heathen red men the decrees of Heaven against the 
 Canaanites. In December, 1763, the more desperate of the young men 
 about Paxton banded together, and destroyed a peaceable Indian vil- 
 lage at Conestoga, and scaljjed all whom tiiey found at home. The re- 
 mainder of the little tribe were placed by the authorities in the Lan- 
 caster workhouse for protection, while a proclamation was issued for 
 the arrest of the murderers ; a few days later a troop of horsemen 
 broke into the building, and massacred its inmates. Such an outrage 
 called for punishment. Penn issued a proclamation offering a re- 
 ward for the capture of the perpetrators : but this had no effect, and 
 
John Penn. 311 
 
 news came to the affrighted Council that sympathizers threatened to 
 -exterminate every Indian in the colony, and would kill all who at- 
 tempted to harbor them. The riot swelled to such proportions that a 
 battalion of regular soldiers belonging to Gen. Gage's army was 
 ordered to Lancaster, and the Indians on Province Island, under a 
 strong guard, were sent away, to be under the protection of Sir Wil- 
 liam Johnson. That the Governor .showed any regard for the Indians, 
 gratified the Quakers in the Assembly, and the House voted him the 
 necessary funds. By the united efforts of all citizens, a bold front was 
 presented when the "Paxton boys" appeared at Germantown on their 
 way to murder the Bethlehem Indians, who had been housed in 
 the barracks in the Northern Liberties. After a i)arley in which 
 they demanded why Indians should be kept in luxury, while tliey were 
 left to starve, tliey withdrew, terrifying the country through which 
 they passed, but receiving commendation and sympathy when they 
 reached tiieir homes. 
 
 This outbreak had barely subsided before the young Governor was 
 embroiled with the Assembly. He had been obliged by orders from 
 the King to ask for money for the clothing and pay of 1000 men for 
 the war with France. The Assembly, responding with alacrity that 
 they would give the sum required, proceeded to frame a bill for rais- 
 ing it. It had been settled that the Proprietary's located lands could 
 be taxed. A bill to that effect had received the Royal approval in 
 1760 upon condition, subscribed to by the Assembly's agents 
 in London, tiiat certain principles should be incorporated in a future 
 bill, and among others that " the located uncultivated lands of the Pro- 
 prietaries shall not be assessed higher than the lowest rate at which 
 any located uncultivated lands belonging to the inhabitants shall be 
 assessed." Tlie Assembly now presented a bill using these words, but 
 •with the explanatory clause, " under the same circumstances of situa- 
 tion, kind, and quality." Penn asked that the bill use the words of 
 the agreement. The Assembly said that there was an ambiguity in 
 them ; they had stated their construction of them, and would the Gov- 
 ernor suggest a clause embodying his ? Penn replied that the words 
 were the plainest that could be used. The Assembly asked him if he 
 understood that wiien the worst lands of the inhabitants were rated at 
 so much, tlie best lands of the Proprietaries should be rated at no 
 more. Penn insisted — and who can say he was wrong? — that there 
 was but one meaning to such words: the Assembly was bound by 
 ■them, and he would be careless of his duty in passing any bill that did 
 
312 John Perm. 
 
 not conform to them. The Assembly declaimed against such injus- 
 tice, and the populace supported them, but, however, unequal such aa 
 arrangement may have been, there is little doubt it was intended by 
 the Crown, and its reason may be sought in the Proprietaries' dread 
 of unfair discrimination against them by the assessors, in whose ap- 
 pointment they had no voice. Such a provision having been made 
 for their protection, or even granted to them as a privilege, John Penn, 
 their agent, surely, would not have been justified in giving away any- 
 thing so valuable. He remained firm, and the Assembly passed the 
 bill in the form which he required. Incensed, however, at being 
 obliged to yield, the Assembly went to the extreme of petitioning the 
 King to assume the government of Pennsylvania, and divest the 
 Founder's descendants of their authority (see sketches of Isaac Norris,, 
 John Dickinson, and Joseph Galloway). The measure caused some 
 reaction in popular feeling, being thought a hasty surrender of liber- 
 ties enjoyed under the Penns, and, at the next election for Assembly- 
 men, the Proprietary party elected eight out of the ten members from 
 Philadelphia City and County, defeating their foremost enemies, Dr. 
 Franklin and Joseph Galloway. But the majority of the House re- 
 mained as before ; at the next session, Franklin was compensated for 
 his defeat by appointment as additional agent in London ; and, although 
 Penn and his Council threw the office-holding influence into the politics 
 of each county, although a church charter was granted to the Luther- 
 ans with the design of drawing that vote away from the Quakers, who 
 generally favored the change of Government, Penn Wiis obliged to 
 write a year later, "There is no resisting the intrigues of the yearly 
 meeting," and the petition to the King was never recalled. 
 
 Public attention in all the American colonies was about this time 
 engrossed by the Stamp Act, and the Proprietarj' and Anti-Proprie- 
 tary parties in Pennsylvania were united against it. Upon its repeal,. 
 the Governor sent a message of congratulation to the Assembly, and 
 gave a fete at " Lansdowne," his country-seat across the Schuylkill, now 
 within our Park. 
 
 After his marriage to Miss Allen, Penn resided in the house built for 
 Col. Byrd of Westover (see Shippen), on the West side of Third St.. 
 below Spruce. 
 
 As time went on nothing more was heard of the petition to change 
 the government, and the Lieutenant-Governor, if he did not become 
 popular, gained the people's good will, although he had the bad grace 
 
John Perm. 313 
 
 to decline to be Patron of the Philosophical Society, because it had 
 chosen such an euemy of his family as Dr. Franklin for its President. 
 
 The happiest event of Penn's administration was the treaty with the 
 Indians at Ft. Stanwix in 1768, \vherel)y there was ceded to the Pro- 
 prietaries an immense territory stretching from the North- East to the 
 South-West corner of the Province. But a portion of this never came 
 iuto their possession. Years before, some Indians had sold a large 
 tract to a body of speculators, who claimed that all the land North of 
 the South latitude of Connecticut was within the limits of that state, 
 as its ancient ciiarter ran "to the South Sea," or Pacific Ocean. In 
 February, 1769, the Susquehanna Company, thus originated, began 
 sending settlers to the banks of that river. The constables of North- 
 ampton County, within which the region then lay, arrested some of 
 these trespassers ; but the emigrants were armed in expectation of a 
 conflict, and went in a body to demand the release of their comrades, 
 and opened fire on those who confined them. When John Penn heard 
 of this, he wrote to Gen. Gage, asking for troops ; but, that officer de- 
 clining to interfere in a question of property, and the New England- 
 ers being aided by Germans and others from the frontier, a guerilla 
 warfare went on for several years, in the midst of which the death of 
 Richard Penn called his son, the Lieutenant-Governor, home. By 
 his father's will, conforming to a family agreement, he became enti- 
 tled to his father's fourth of the Proprietaryship for life with remain- 
 der to his sons successively in tail male. He embarked for England 
 on May 4, 1771, leaving the government to the Council. 
 
 In August, 1773, he returned to Pennsylvania as Governor in his 
 own right and by deputation from his uncle. In addition to the trou- 
 ble with the Connecticut claimants, which had not been ended in his 
 absence, he was obliged to meet a claim by Lord Dunmore that Pitts- 
 burgh was within the boundaries of Virginia. Acts of violence oc- 
 curred ou both borders, and while Penn boldly dismissed the agents 
 of the New Englanders, who offered to treat with him, Pittsburgh 
 slipped from his hands. The King was expected to settle both dis- 
 pute?, but Royal government came to an end in America before a 
 decision was obtained. 
 
 In respect to the Revolutionary contest, he attempted to steer a 
 middle course. He writes, Jany. 4, 1774, "What w'ill become of 
 America, God only knows. I wish there was moderation enough on 
 both sides to put a happy end to the present disputes." He was op- 
 posed to taxation without representation : his estates and matrimonial 
 
314 John Penn. 
 
 connection attached his sympathies to the Province which bore his 
 family name. At the same time, he had often sought the aid of the 
 King to preserve his interests against his own people : and it was 
 necessary to be on terms with so powerful a friend. More than this, 
 the first overt act on his part would cause the Ministry to avail itself 
 of the old petition to replace the Proprietary by a Royal government. 
 This might be a means of enlisting popularity : the gift of the Gov- 
 ernorship to a leading man in the Colony, the Ministry might expect, 
 wonld silence all his followers. Penn was anxious, therefore, to per- 
 suade the King's advisers that he did all that was in his power : he kept 
 Lord Dartmouth informed of everything that transpired, declaring, at 
 the same time, that it was impossible to prevent the public meetings : he 
 refused to call a special session of the Assembly for the purpose of com- 
 jilying with the wishes of Boston by forbidding any trade with Eng- 
 land until the Boston Port Bill should be repealed. Indian troubles, 
 however, soon required him to summon that body ; and a Continental 
 Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, was the result. In February, 
 1775, he besought the Assembly to employ what he deemed the only 
 constitutional method of seeking redress of grievances, i. e. to send a 
 petition from their own body. On June 30 of that year, the Assem- 
 bly, without troubling Penn for his consent, provided for arming the 
 Province in defence of its liberties, and ajjpointed a Committee of 
 Safety (see sketch of Andrew Allen and John Dickinson), which 
 thenceforth was supreme in Pennsylvania: but Penn's Council con- 
 tinued to meet until the following September, in the quiet discharge 
 of routine business. Congress on May 15, 1776 resolved, that, it 
 being necessary that the exercise of every kind of authority under the 
 British Crown should be totally suppressed, therefore the respective 
 Assemblies and Conventionsbe recommended, whereno governmentsuf- 
 ficient to the exigencies of their affairs had been previously established, 
 to adopt such government as should in the opinion of the representa- 
 tives of the people best conduce to their happiness and safety. This 
 was the death-blow to Proprietary authority. A public meeting sent 
 a protest against the Assembly of the Province undertaking to frame 
 a new government, as it derived its power from a Royal Charter, and 
 did not truly represent the people. The meeting called for a conven- 
 tion. Opposed to this was a remonstrance against amending the 
 constitution except by the authority provided in the Charter itself. 
 Protests and counter protests went to Congress : but delegates were 
 chosen to the Constitutional Convention. Congress on the 4th of July 
 
John Perm. 315 
 
 declared the Colonies " Free and Independent States," and, within a 
 month afterwards, the Convention met. When it adjourned, it had 
 vested tiie government of Pennsylvania in a Supreme Executive Coun- 
 cil choosing its own President and the officers of state. Penn, thus 
 stripped of his titles, offered no other resistance than refusal to recog- 
 nize the new authority. Had he been inclined to do otherwise, he was 
 powerless : but no conspiracies on his part were alleged. Ne%'ertheless 
 when Howe's army was expected in Piiiladelphia, and the Americans 
 prepared to retreat, it was thought inexpedient to leave such import- 
 ant instruments in British hands as a regularly commissioned Gov- 
 ernor and Chief Justice. So Chew and himself were arrested August 
 12, 1777, on the recommendation of Congress. It was proposed to 
 send them to Fredericksburg, Va. They, however, gave their parole 
 to remain at the Union Iron Works in New Jersey until otherwise 
 ordered, and thither they were banished. When danger was over, it 
 became a question what to do with them, as no active part could be 
 alleged against them. On May 15, 1778, Congress resolved that tiiey 
 be conveyed without delay into Pennsylvania, and there discharged 
 from their parole. 
 
 A natural result of the war followed. On June 28, 1779, the 
 Legislature of Pennsylvania transferred to the State the property in 
 the soil, restricted the possessions of the Penns to such manors, or 
 tenths, as had been set apart for them prior to the Declaration of In- 
 dependence and also their purchases from private parties, and abolished 
 quit-rents except on the manors. Here however an act of compensa- 
 tion redounded to the credit of the Assembly. It voted iu remunera- 
 tion for all this loss the sum of £130,000 to the heirs and devisees of 
 Thomas and Richard Penn to be paid three years after the establish- 
 ment of peace. In addition to this, the British Government created 
 an annuity of £4,000, wiiich is paid to this day. John Penn's branch 
 of the family was entitled to a fourtii of tiiese suras, and the estates in 
 Piiiladelphia County and elsewhere were considerable ; so that he was 
 enabled to live comfortably the rest of his life at " Lansdowne," or at 
 his city residence in Pine Street between 2nd and 3rd. He spent a 
 few years abroad, but died in Bucks County, Pa., February 9, 1795, 
 and was buried under the floor of Ciirist Church, Philadelphia. His 
 remains were removed to England. His 2nd wife, whom he m. Xt. 
 Ch. May 31, 1766, and to whom by his will he left nearly everything 
 he could dispose of, was Anne, dau. of Chief Justice William Allen, 
 and granddau. of Andrew Hamilton the Councillor. She survived 
 him, but died without issue.

 was a clergyman, and Sarah married Springall of Strumpshaw, 
 
 Co. Norfolk, but d. s. p., while the eldest son, John Larduer, studied at 
 Christ College, Cambridge, and received from that University the de- 
 gree of M. B. cornitiis Regh. He resided in Grace Church Street, 
 London, and at Woodford, Epping Forest, Co. Essex, and had a good 
 practice as a physician. His wife was a Winstanley, by whom he had 
 issue :

 Lynford (or, as he sometimes wrote it, Lyn Ford) Lardner — 
 named after a friend and near relative of the family. Rev. Thomas Lyn- 
 ford, S. T. P., Rector of St. Nicholas's, Aeon, and a Chaplain inOrdi- 
 inary to King William and Queen Mary, — was born July 18, 1715, and 
 spent some time at the University of Cambridge, but afterwards went 
 into a counting-house in London. The family wished to obtain gov- 
 ernment office for him ; but in this they were unsuccessful, and the 
 influence of his brother-in-law made an opening for him in Penn- 
 sylvania. When about twenty-five years of age, therefore, he came to 
 America, sailing from Gravesend on the 5th of May, 1740, and arriv- 
 ing in Philadelphia in the beginning of September. He resided for 
 
Lardner. 317 
 
 some time on tlie Penn property, and as a member of the Land Office 
 participated in the management of the wild regions of M-liieh that 
 family were lords paramount. To some extent he was also their com- 
 mercial agent. He succeeded James Steel in the position of Receiver- 
 General, or collector of quit-rents, purchase moneys, &ct, and in 1746 
 ■was made Keeper of the Great Seal of the Province, holding both 
 offices several years. The Receiver-General had a salary' of from 300^. 
 to 400/., and the Keeper was paid in fees for attesting the laws. In 
 1746, Lardner became the owner of CoUiday's paper-mill in Spring- 
 field Township, and afterwards was interested in the manufacture of 
 iron, but was at no time in mercantile business. 
 
 He was a Director of the Library Co. from 1746 to 1748, and again 
 in 1760. 
 
 In the winter of 1748-9 was instituted the Dancing Assembly, 
 which with intermissions has been kept up for one hundred and fifty 
 three yeai-s. Lynford Lardner was a Manager of the first Assembly, 
 the other Managers being John Swift, ancestor of John Swift, so often 
 Mayor of Phila., and of Geo. Inman Riche, now Pres. of the Phila. 
 High School, John Wallace, son of a Scotch clergyman, and from whom 
 descend Dr. Ellerslie Wallace and Hon. John William Wallace, and 
 John Inglis, whose wife was a Miss McCall, and who is now repre- 
 sented in Phila. by Mrs. Joshua Francis Fisher. Social entertain- 
 ments had always been a feature of Provincial life, and the arrival 
 ■of a Governor, the close of a Mayoralty, and often an official con- 
 ference was the occasion of gathering around a well covered board. 
 Even Quaker Philadelphia in her infancy cultivated the arts of 
 good living, for which, when no longer Quaker, she has been justly 
 famous. The stately minuet, moreover, had been learned by the gayer 
 ladies and gentlemen, and parties had been given by John Sober and 
 others at the Bachelor's Hall ; but in 1748 it was thought that a sub- 
 scription ball, in which married men might join, would be a very de- 
 lightful institution. The tax was 40.9., but this paid for an entertain- 
 ment every Thursday from the first of January, 1748-9, to the first day 
 of May, beginning " precisely at six in the evening and not by any 
 means to exceed twelve the same night," and for complimentary 
 tickets to the ladies. The entertainment was moderate, consisting 
 chiefly of something to drink. There were fifty-nine subscribers, includ- 
 ing the Managers. Many are spoken of in this book, and the ma- 
 jority were of families connected with the Provincial or the City gov- 
 ernment. The clergy were represented by Peters the Councillor, bar-

 Edward Jones, whose brother and heir-at-law was Sonaerset Jones of 
 the Sheet, Co. Salop, Esquire, the graduates of tiie English universi- 
 ties by John Lawrence, and the medical profession by John Kearsley. 
 Four others, Harrison, Cozzens, and the Stedmans, were sea-captains. 
 Nearly all the rest were merciiants, some here only for a short time. 
 Except those mentioned in this book, the only ones among these heads 
 of fashion who have descendants of their name in Phila. were Wallace, 
 McCall, Sims, McIIvaine, Peters, and White. Of course the good 
 Quakers did not patronize the Assembly, but two Jewish names, 
 Franks and Levy, figure in tiie list. 
 
 Lardner was made a Justice for Lancaster Co. in 1752, and about 
 that time relinquished the Seal. He was called to the Provincial 
 Council June 13, 1755. In March, 1756, he was chosen Lieutenant 
 of tiie troop of horse organized in connection with two companies of 
 foot and one company of artillery for the defence of the city. Lard- 
 ner was also one of the Commissioners to spend the money which the 
 Assembly about this time voted for " the King's use." He declined 
 reappointment the following year, but served in the same capacity 
 subsequently. He was some time a Trustee of the College. Pie was 
 also a member of the Amer. Philos. Society. 
 
 After his marriage he resided on the West side of Second St. 
 above Arch, and owned several houses in that locality, besides farms 
 outside of the City. His country-seat was " Somerset," part of which 
 is known as " Larduer's Point," on the Delaware near Tacony. He 
 also had a shooting-box on one of his tracts in Northampton Co., to 
 which he gave of "Grouse Hall." He was also member of a club 
 which hunted foxes in the neighborhood of Gloucester, N. J. His 
 obituary notice said, " It was the Business, the Purpose of his Being 
 next to obeying him to whom he is gone, to please and instruct. 
 Kindness and a desire of making all around him happy, were the 
 motives of his actions, and with all the capacity requisite for making a 
 figure in a contentious world, moderation, cheerfulness, affability, and 
 temperance were the arts of his excellent life." He d. Oct. 6, 1774,

 officer of the Vincennes in her circumnavigation of the globe. 
 After service on the flag-ship of the Mediterranean, Brazil, 
 and Pacific squadrons, he sailed in 1850 for the coast of 
 Africa in the brig Porpoise, and made a cruise of three years 
 in command of that vessel and the sloop-of-war Dale, return- 
 ing to Boston in April, 1853. He attained the rank of Com-

 September, 1861, he was placed in command of the steam 
 frigate Susquehanna, of the North Atlantic Blockading 
 Squadron, blockading Soiitii Carolina and Georgia. He took 
 part, under Dupont, in tiie capture of Port Royal, for which 
 service his name was sent to Congress by President Lincoln 
 fora vote of thanks, which passed the House, but was thrown 
 out in the Senate. After the battle of Port Royal, Flag 
 Officer DuPont wrote to him as follows : " Your noble ship 
 throughout the whole of the battle was precisely where I 
 wanted her to be, and doing precisely what I wanted her to 
 do. Your close support was a very gallant thing." In 
 May, 1862, he assumed command of the East Gulf Blockad- 
 ing Squadron, with the flag of Rear Admiral. In Decem- 
 ber he returned to Philadelphia, invalided by a severe attack 
 of yellow fever, by which disease, during the summer of 
 
 1862, his ship lost forty gallant officers and men. On July 
 16, 1862, he was commissioned as Commodore. In May, 
 
 1863, he took command of the West India Squadron with 
 the flag of Rear Admiral, and remained upon that duty until 
 October, 1864, when the Squadron was withdrawn. He was 
 commissioned as Rear Admiral July 25th, 1866. From the 
 year 1864 to 1869 he was upon special duty as member of 
 Courts-martial and Examining Boards. In 1869 he was

 Benjamin Chew. 
 
 The Chews have been longer settled in America than any other 
 family represented in our Provincial Council. Early in the reign of 
 James I, John Chew came to Virginia in the vessel "Charitie" with 
 three servants, and followed by his wife Sarah in the " Seaflonre," as 
 appears by Lieut. Barkley's Muster in Hotten's List of Emigrants. 
 He settled at "James Citie," and a deed of 1624 granted him "for 
 the better conveniencie and comodatie of his new house by him now 
 oversee and builded " one rood and nine perches of land " lying and 
 being about the said house." He subsequently was member of the 
 .Assembly. His family record is not preserved, but he is said to have 
 been the father of Samuel Chew of Maryland, who was the great- 
 grandfather of the Councillor. Samuel Chew's relative Larkia Chew 
 was living in Virginia about the beginning of the next century. Lar- 
 kin Cliew's son married tlie great-aunt of President Madison, and was 
 ancestor of President Taylor. 
 
 Samuel Chew, great-grandfather of the Councillor, was residing 
 in Maryland as early as 1648. He became Judge of the High Pro- 
 
Chew. 325 
 
 vincial Court and Court of Cliancery, and for seven years preceding 
 his death, was member of the Upper House of the Legislature. At the 
 date of Truman's impeaclimcnt trial, May 27, 1676, he is described as 
 " Colonel Samuel Chew Chancellor and Secretary." He d. March 
 15, 1676-7, by his will leaving to his brother Joseph his "golde seale 
 ring." He m. Anne, daughter and only child of William Ayres, and 
 had issue seven sons and two daughters. 
 
 Benjamin Chew, the fifth sou, was born "the 13th day of ye 2rao. 
 1671," and d. in Maryland Mch. 3, 1699-1700, m. "the 8th <1. of ye 
 lOmo. 1692" Elizabeth Benson, by whom he had a son, Samuel, and 
 three daughters, Elizabeth, Ann, and Mary. 
 
 Samuel Chew, father of the Councillor, was born on the 30th 
 of 8mo., 1693, and was known as Samuel Chew of "Maidstone," an 
 •estate near Annapolis. He practised medicine as a profession. He 
 became a Quaker, and removed to Kent County on the Delaware. In 
 the town of Dover he had a residence still standing, and also was 
 owner of a plantation about three miles off. His influence was great 
 in tlie neighborhood, and his abilities were recognized by the govern- 
 ment. Lieut. Gov. Thomas thought of calling him to the Council of 
 the Province and Lower Counties, in which his son afterwards sat, but 
 explained in a letter to John Penn, " Dr. Chew has been long settled in 
 Kent County as Prothonotary W'here he and the new sett of magis- 
 trates have done great service. The most dissolute & refractory Peo- 
 ple of the Government by a regular Administration of Justice are be- 
 come the most orderly. I have likewise appointed Chew Chief Jus- 
 tice of the Lower Counties, so he cannot attend the Council here." 
 Ohew was Chief Justice of the Lower Counties from 1741 until his 
 death. What made him particularly valuable to the Governor was 
 that he had no scruples against what he deemed lawful war : and it 
 was a time when the Governor was required by the Crown to fit out 
 troops, and, yet had to encounter the constant opposition of the Qua- 
 ker population. Chew did what he could in the crisis. In a charge 
 to the Grand Jury of New Castle in 1741, he set forth the duty of de- 
 fence, and the obligation of every citizen to give substance and even 
 life in support of the King. This address was published broadside, 
 and reprinted in the newspapers of Phiiadelpiiia, and created great 
 excitement. While it was resented by many as a direct contradiction 
 of Friends' principles, it is known to have expressed views coincided 
 in by James Logan and other great men of the sect. And it influ- 
 enced enough persons to weaken the columns of the stricter party, 
 
326 Chew. 
 
 whose success in maintaining their views might have cost them the 
 abrogation of their privileges by the Crown. He d. June 16, 1743. 
 
 He m., 1st, Oct. 22, 1715 Mary Galloway, d. May 26, 1734, dau. 
 of Samuel and Anne Galloway, and aunt of Joseph Galloway (see 
 Growdon); and, 2nd, Sep. 28, 1736 Mary Galloway, wid. of his 
 brother-in-law Richard Galloway of Cumberstone, Md., and dau. of 
 Aquila Paca. By the 1st wife he was father of the Councillor and 
 eight other children, of whom six died young. The Councillor's sis- 
 ter Elizabeth m. Col. Edw. Tilghman of Wye, and was mother of 
 Edward Tilghman, the eminent lawyer, who m. the Councillor's 
 daughter; and the Councillor's sister Ann m. Samuel Galloway, and 
 was mother of John Galloway, who m. the Councillor's daughter. By 
 the 2nd wife, Dr. Chew had three children, all of whom d. s. p., the 
 eldest, Samuel, being some time Attorney-Geueral of Maryland, and 
 third Justice of the Supreme Court of the Lower Counties in 1773. 
 
 Benjamin Chew, son of Dr. Samuel Chew, was born at his fath- 
 er's seat on West River, Maryland, Nov. 29, 1722. He was still a 
 boy when the family removed to the Lower Counties on the Dela- 
 ware, and transferred their allegiance to the Penus. We do not know 
 at what school he acquired the rudiments of education. He was 
 brought up a Quaker, and although by 1741 his father had suffi- 
 ciently relapsed from the principles of William Penn to be a " fight- 
 ing Quaker," yet Benjamin Chew, it seems, did not become a Church- 
 man until after his admission to the Council, the four ciiildren of his 
 1st wife being baptized with his son Benjamin on Nov. 13, 1758. He 
 did not go to any institution dignified by the name of "college ; " but 
 both his father and his legal preceptor being men of scholarly attain- 
 ments, he had the advantages of polite learning. In Colonial times,, 
 it was at an early age that a young man intended for the bar was 
 placed in an attorney's office : Chief Justice Shippen was fifteen when 
 he wrote the documents for a common recovery, as a student under 
 Tench Francis. He was to be clerk, scrivener, and errand boy, and 
 in spare hours to go on with his general reading. Chew was placed 
 under the tuition of Andrew Hamilton, the Councillor, at Philadel- 
 phia. Hamilton died Aug. 4, 1741, before Chew was nineteen. De- 
 siring greater proficiency, the latter went abroad, and at London en- 
 tered the Middle Temple. It is interesting to note that William 
 Blackstone, whose Commentaries have since made the law a more 
 agreeable study, who was some six months younger than Chew, entered 
 the same Society on Nov. 20th of that year. Chew returned to 
 
Chew. 327 
 
 America in 1743, on hearing of the death of his father. He was ad- 
 mitted an attorney of tlie Supreme Court of the Province of Pennsyl- 
 vania in September Term, 1746, but does not appear on its docket as 
 practising until about nine years later. He resided at Dover, doubt- 
 less finding it easier to p;et into practice at that place and at New Cas- 
 tle. In 1751, he was included iu tlie Boundary Commission as a 
 representative of the Lower Counties, and in 1752, was appointed by 
 their Legislature a trustee to make sale of certain lots of ground. He 
 removed to Philadelphia about 1754, residing on Front St. above 
 Dock until his purchase l)y deed of May 3, 1771 for 5000/. of the 
 house on Third St. below Wiiling's Alley which Charles Willing had 
 built for his son-in-law Col. Byrd of Va., and which Gov. John Penn 
 and wife were just vacating to go to England. The lot was 118 ft. 
 front and in depth to Fourth St. About the year 1761, he built his 
 country-seat called " Cliveden," on the outskirts of Germantown. 
 Chief Justice Tilghman in Lyle vs. Richards says, "Mr. Francis suc- 
 ceeded Mr. Hamilton," — he did not immediately succeed him in office 
 — " and Mr. Chew succeeded Mr. Francis in the office of Attorney- 
 General and in professional eminence." Tench Francis, as well trained 
 a lawyer as the Province ever knew, was obliged to resign and return to 
 England on account of his health : and it was a recognition of Chew's 
 ability, that, without having long resided in Pennsylvania, he was that 
 gentleman's immediate successor both as Attorney-General and as Re- 
 corder of the City. The former office, Chew held from Jany. 14, 1755 
 until November 4, 1769, and the latter, from Aug. 29, 1755 until 
 June 25, 1774. 
 
 Benjamin Chew was called to the Governor's Council in the period 
 of wild excitement caused by the news of Indian massacres following 
 Braddock's defeat. He was one of those added on the 2nd of Novem- 
 ber, 1755, and he served at the Board until the Revolutionary War 
 overturned its authority. He presided as Speaker over tlie Assembly 
 of the Lower Counties in 1756, and, had the satisfaction of finding 
 that body prompt in granting supplies. The Assembly further up the 
 River maintained continual opposition to the Governor and the Pi-o- 
 prietary family : and in the controversies Chew took an active part, 
 very much as the Penns' legal adviser. During his term of office as 
 Attorney-General, Recorder, and Member of the Council, the Colony 
 was of such size that his duties were far from light. In 1760, Penn- 
 sylvania had about the present population of Rhode Island with settle- 
 ments as far inland as the Alleghanies; and it was no little responsi- 
 
328 Chew. 
 
 bility to be the law officer for the chief city and public prosecutor for 
 the eight extensive counties, and member of the Governor's Cabinet. 
 In 1765, in addition to all this, he was made Register- General of the 
 Province, having charge of the probate business of Philadelphia 
 County, while the Registers of Bucks, Chester, New Castle, &ct., were 
 his deputies. The duties of the Philadelphia office he performed in 
 person without an assistant. He was paid in fees, 12s. for granting 
 letters of administration, 15s. for probate of a will, with some minor 
 charges. After his resignation of the Attorney-Generalship, he became 
 more actively engaged in private practice. Philadelphia was then the 
 largest city on the Continent and the centre of extensive trade. The 
 struggle between the Proprietary and the Quaker factions had devel- 
 oped political talents, and the question of the " Stamp Act," " Tea 
 Act," &ct. brought at least one name — that of John Dickinson — into 
 trans-Atlantic eminence. In such a time, when, too, science had been 
 carried forward by Logan and Bartram, and later by Franklin and 
 Rittenhouse, and two Libraries, a Philosophical Society, and a College 
 were affbi'ding opportunities for culture, great men arose in the juridi- 
 cal forum, to quote Viner, Bulstrode, Siderfin, &ct. whom they had 
 studied at the Inns in Westminster, or to reason out principles for a 
 jurisprudence better adapted to a young nation. There is a MS. book 
 of reports which gives us some cases of that time, now known to the 
 bar' through the first volume of Dallas, and shows us Chew and Tilgh- 
 mau generally contending against Galloway, Wain (afterwards Quaker 
 preacher), and Dickinson. The reporter says in noting Haldane vs. 
 Duffield, April Term, 1768, " The remainder of Mr. Chew's argument 
 I did not hear nor did I wait Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Tilghman's 
 conclusion, this case having continued twelve hours." Chew was one 
 of the Commissioners appointed by the Assembly in 1761 to expend 
 the money it had voted for putting Philadelphia in a state of defence, 
 war with Spain being anticipated. He was also one of the Commis- 
 sioners for settling the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland, 
 under whose superintendence was run the celebrated Mason & Dixon's 
 Line. 
 
 The resignation of William Allen in 1774 made vacant the Chief 
 Justiceship of the Supreme Court. Chew was appointed his successor 
 on the 29th of April. This new dignity required him to lay down the 
 Recordership, and also indeed imposed undeserved sufferings upon him 
 during the civil war which came so soon afterwards — sufferings which 
 were merely the result of his political importance, and not designed as 
 
Chew. 329 
 
 punishment for obnoxious acts. The people had no complaint to make 
 against him before Independence was determined upon, and but little 
 afterwards. He signed the Non-Importation Agreement of 1763. 
 Like Richard Penn, lie hospitably entertained the members of the 
 Continental Congress which assembled in Philadelphia in September, 
 1774. Wasiiington, then the heroof tlie French and Indian War, and 
 John Adams both mention dining with him on the 22nd of that 
 month. Adams's diary says : " 22 Thursday. Dined with Mr. 
 Chew Chief Justice of the Province with all the gentlemen from Vir- 
 ginia, Dr. Shippen, Mr. Tiighman, and many others. We were shown 
 into a grand entry and staircase and into an elegant and magnificent 
 chamber until dinner. About 4 o'clock we were called down to din- 
 ner. The furniture was ail rich. Turtle & every other thing, flum- 
 mery, jellies, sweetmeats, of 20 sorts, trifles, whipped sillabubs, float- 
 ing islands, fools, &ct., & then a dessert of fruits, raisins, almonds, 
 pears, peaches. Wines most excellent & admirable. I drank Madeira 
 at a great rate, & found no inconvenience in it." An anecdote by 
 Miers Fisher makes Chief Justice Chew use the language of the strong- 
 est Whigs in charging the Grand Jury at the last session of the Su- 
 preme Court under Royal authority. He was defining the crimes of 
 which it was their duty to present indictments, and had laid down the 
 law of High Treason, when one of the jurors asked what was to be- 
 come of them, opposing the arbitrary acts of the British Ministry. 
 The Chief Justice immediately resumed, "I have stated * * * 
 but in the moment when the King or his Ministers shall exceed the 
 constitutional authority vested in them by the Constitution submission 
 to their mandate becomes Treason." By the Declaration of Independ- 
 ence, all _Chew's ofiicial positions fell with the Royal authority from 
 which they were derived. No provision, however, being made by the 
 new government for the probate of wills and granting of letters of ad- 
 ministration. Chew continued to act as Register-General, and his depu- 
 ties in the various counties continued to perform their duties, until the 
 Legislature by Act of March 14, 1 777, provided for the appointment of 
 a Register of Wills in each county. The year following, an Act was 
 passed validating and confirming what had been done by Chew and 
 his deputies, as having been necessary for the public good. On July 
 31, 1777, the prospects of the American cause being very gloomy, the 
 Continental Congress recommended to the government of Pennsyl- 
 vania forthwith to make prisoners of such of the late Crown and Pro- 
 prietary officers and sucli other persons in and near Philadelphia as 
 
330 Cheio. 
 
 were disaffected or might be dangerous to the public liberty, and send 
 them back into the country, there to be confined or enlarged on parole 
 as their characters and behavior might require. Accordingly, a war- 
 rant was made out for the apprehension of Chew among others. Two 
 members of the City Troop charged with this duty made the arrest on- 
 August 6th. He was allowed to remain a prisoner in his own house. 
 On August 12, some of the Troop reported that the arrest had been 
 made, and that the Hon. John Penn, who had also been secured, and 
 Benjamin Chew, Esq., would he at the house of Mr. Allen that day at 
 12 noon. Chew refused to sign a jiarole, but afterwards communi- 
 cated to the Revolutionary authorities through Dr. Ewing an explana- 
 tion that he desired the warrant to specify the cause of his arrest, so as 
 to show that he was charged with no crime, but was arrested as an 
 officer of the late government. The Supreme Executive Council had 
 intended sending him to Fredericksburg, Va., and had applied to 
 Congress for a guard to escort Messrs. Penn and Chew thither. 
 Finally, however, a parole was signed by Chew agreeing to repair to 
 the Union Iron Works, partly owned by his wife's uncle, and there 
 remain until otherwise ordered, and meanwhile give no aid or comfort 
 to the enemy. Penn and Chew resided at the Works througiiout the 
 next ten months, although after the British had taken Philadelphia, a 
 proposition was made to permit their return to the City. The danger 
 from their being at liberty was over, and no overt act could be alleged 
 against them to justify enforced exile from their homes, and that, 
 moreover, in the season of Winter. Finally, on May 15, 1778, Con- 
 gress resolved that tliey be conveyed without delay into the state of 
 Pennsylvania, and there discharged from their parole. On June 29th, 
 Major Stout, appointed for that purpose by Gov. Livingston of New 
 Jersey, in pursuance of the resolution of Congress removed Chew from 
 the Union Iron Works to Pennsylvania. Crossing the Delaware, they 
 landed at tlie house of Henry Lot in Bucks Co. at 7 o'clock in the 
 evening. Chew made his way to Philadelpiiia, which the British had 
 by this time evacuated, and remained quiet during the rest of the war. 
 At the battle of Germantown, his country-house had been occupied by 
 a detachment of British troops, who found it a sufficient stronghold to 
 resist the cannonading of the Americans ; but its doors and windows 
 were shattered, and its floors stained with blood. In the Fall of 1779, 
 Chew sold the property to Blair McClenachan for 2500^., repurchas- 
 ing it, however, for 8500/. in April, 1797. After the departure of 
 John Penn for England, Chew with Tench Francis (see Shippen) was 
 
Chew. 331 
 
 attorney for the Penns, and as such received the money voted to them 
 in exchange for the quit-rents. 
 
 By two commissions dated respectively the 3rd and 4tli day of 
 October, 1791, Chew was appointed Judge and President of the High 
 Court of Errors and Appeals of Pennsylvania. He held this position 
 until the abolition of the Court in 1808.

 Wye, Maryland, Dec. 11, 1750, son of Col. Edward Tilghman of 
 Wye by his 2nd w. Elizabeth, sister of Benjamin Chew the Council- 
 lor. The Edward Tilghman who married the Councillor's daughter 
 grad. at the College of Phila. in 1767, studied law at the Middle Tem- 
 ple in London, and, returning to Philadelphia in the early part of 
 1774, was admitted to practise before the Supreme Court of Pennsyl- 
 vania in April of that year. " He was a talented advocate," says 
 Blake's Biog. Diet., " always familiar with the facts and the law relat- 
 ing to his cases, highly accomplished in the use of language, a clear- 
 headed logician, fluent without the least volubility, and comprehended 
 by almost tiie lowest order of understanding while he was dealing with 
 the most exalted topics." He was perhaps the head of the profession 
 in that generation which came between Benjamin Chew and Horace 
 Binney, and as he was the son-in-law of the former, so also was he 
 the patron of the latter, who in " The Leaders of the Old Bar " says, 
 " He launched me in my profession." Mr. Binney there relates how 
 the President of the Philadelphia Ins. Co., at Tilghman's suggestion, 
 employed him, quite a young man, to defend the case of Gibson vs. 
 the Company (1 Binn.) and would retain no other counsel, although 
 James Gibson and Jared Ingersoll were for the plaintiff: Mr. Tilgh- 
 man having said, "Put it all on his shoulders, and make him carry it. 
 It will do him good." Judge Duncan says that his attention to young 
 men in the profession was one among the many honorable trails that 
 distinguished him at the bar. 
 
 Edward Tilghman was offered the Chief Justiceship of Pennsyl- 
 vania on the resignation of Edward Shippen, but declined it, recom- 
 mending his cousin William (see Tilghman), whom Gov. McKean 
 thereupon appointed. Tilghman was counsel for the company which 
 undertook the purchase of the Bush Hill estate (see Hamilton), and 
 he advised the proceeding by common recovery. After his death, in 
 the case of Lyle vs. Richards, its efficacy was brought into question, 
 and it was deemed a considerable argument in its favor that be had

 advised it ; the Supreme Court declared it valid, and that, the entails 
 and contingent remainders being destroyed, a fee simple title had beea 
 conveyed to the company. Judge Duncan, in his opinion, passed this 
 eulogium upon Tilghman: "Of him I can truly say that I never 
 knew any man who had this intricate branch of the law so much at his 
 finger's end. With all otiiers with whom I have had professional 
 intercourse, it was the work of time and consideration to comprehend, 
 but he took in, with one glance, all the beauties of the most obscure 
 and difficult limitations. With him it was intuitive, and he could 
 untie the knots of a contingent remainder or executory devise as famili- 
 arly as he could his garter." He resided on Chestnut St., Phila. He

 July 10, 1792, son of Alexander James Dallas, Secretary of the Trea- 
 sury and for some time also in charge of the War Department of the 
 XJ. S., a native of Jamaica, who had m. in England Arabella Maria, 
 dau. of Maj. George Smith, of the British Army, whose wife was a dau. 
 of Rev. William Barlow, Rector of Stoke Damarell, Devonshire, whose 
 wife was a dau. and co-heiress of Sir Nicholas Trevanion, Kt. After 
 graduating at Princeton in 1810, George M. Dallas began the study of 
 law under his father's supervision, and in 1813, after being admitted to 
 the bar, accompanied Albert Gallatin as his private secretary when that 
 gentleman was sent to Russia to negotiate peace with the representatives 
 of Great Britain. After his return, Dallas began the practice of law. 
 He attained distinction in the profession, although so much in public 
 life, and thereby obliged to absent himself from tiie courts and his 
 clients. For some time he acted as solicitor of the United States 
 Bank. In 1817, he was appointed assistant to tlie District Attorney 
 of Phila. Co., and in 1828 was elected Mayor of the City. He was a 
 warm advocate of the election of Andrew Jackson to the Presidency 
 in 1828, and, said Col. Chas. J. Biddle in his eulogy, "To his suc- 
 cess, no man in Pennsylvania contributed so much as Mr. Dallas. 
 Through his agency the friends of Calhoun were rallied to the sup- 
 port of Jackson." After Jackson became President, he appointed 
 Dallas U. S. District Attorney for Pennsylvania. Holding this office 
 two years, Dallas was sent to the U. S. Senate in 1831 to fill the va- 
 
352 Chew — Dallas branch. 
 
 cancy caused by the resignation of Isaac D. Barnard. In that body 
 he favored the re-chartering of the United States Bank, to which 
 Jackson was opposed, but wiiicii the Legislature of Pennsylvania 
 recommended, and he introduced the bill for that purpose Jany. 9, 
 
 1832. In February, the Legislature of Pennsylvania instructed both 
 the Senators from the State to vote for it (the other Senator was Wil- 
 liam Wilkins, who had married Dallas's sister), which they did at 
 every stage of its passage. They also voted for the bill to enforce the 
 collection of the revenue against the " nuilifiers." When Henry Clay 
 introduced his compromise bill annually reducing the duties on im- 
 ported articles so that in nine years tiiere should be only a duty of 20 
 per cent, ad valorem, and that no more revenue should be raised than 
 necessary for the support of the governraenl, Dallas declared that he 
 would sanction nothing in the bill as*^n abandonment of the principle 
 of protection ; and he and Wilkins voted against the bill of the same 
 purj)ort pa'^sed by the House of Representatives, which Clay accepted 
 in place of his own. Declining re-election at the close of his term in 
 
 1833, Dallas returned to the practice of his profession. In October 
 of that year, he was ajjpointed Attorney-General of Penna., and 
 served until 1835. From 1837 to 1839, he represented the United 
 States as Minister at the Court of St. Petersburg. He was given by 
 the Democratic Convention of 1844 the second place on the national 
 ticket, and on the 4th of March, 1845, after the hard fought cam- 
 paign resulting in the defeat of Clay and Frelinghuysen, Polk was 
 inaugurated President, and George M. Dallas, Vice President of the 
 United States. As Vice President he gave the casting vote in favor 
 of the third reading of the Tariff Act of 1846, which reduced the 
 tariff as adjusted by the Act of 1842. Under the presidencies of 
 Pierce and Buchanan, he was U. S. Envoy Extraordinary and Minis- 
 ter Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. James. He died in Phila. 
 Dec. 31, 1864, bu. St. Peter's.

 John Mifflin, grandfather of the Councillor of that name, and 
 son of John Mifflin of Wiltshire, England, emigrated to Pennsylvania 
 at an early date. He m. at the house of Henry Lewis near Philadel-

 John Mifflin, the Councillor, was b. Phila. Jany. 18, 1714-5, 
 and became a merchant of some prominence. He was a Director of 
 the Library twelve years. As a representative of the Quaker portion 
 of the community, he was elected a Common Councilman of the City 
 in 1747, and an Alderman in 1751. He was holding the latter rank 
 when he was made a member of the Provincial Council, at the meeting 
 called on Sunday, Nov. 2, 1755, upon receipt of news that the Indians 
 had attacked the settlement at Auchwick and Juniata, and the people 
 were coming to Philadelphia for protection. Mifflin was one of the 
 commissioners appointed by Act of Assembly to spend the 60,000/.,. 
 which, after a long struggle, the House was induced to grant "for the 
 King's use," a Quaker phrase which meant the defence of the Prov-

 Thomas Mifflin, b. Phila. before Jany. 10, 1744, son of the 
 Councillor, at one time held the highest office in the United States, 
 being President of the Continental Congress after George Washington 
 resigned the position of Commander-in-Chief of tlie Army. Indeed, 
 Thomas Mifflin and Gen. Anthony Wayne were the most distinguished 
 Pennsylvanians of the last century who were natives of the state. 
 
 Mifflin was a graduate of the College of Phila., since known as the 
 University of Pennsylvania, where he finished his course at the age 
 of sixteen. He was then placed in the counting-house of William 
 Coleman. Upon attaining his majority, he made a tour of Europe, 
 as was usual with the sons of the wealthy Quakers before settling 
 down to trade ; and he spent considerable time in England and France. 
 On his return, he entered into business with his brother. Active and 
 industrious, Thomas Mifflin succeeded in business. Open-hearted and 
 vivacious, he became popular. Public spirited and forming decided 
 views on current topics, he expressed himself strongly against the 
 right of the British Parliament to tax the Colonies ; and, being a 
 member of the Society of Friends, he was an important addition to 
 the party of resistance. A natural orator and with his strong feelings 
 
364 3Iifflin. 
 
 sharing fully in the " Spirit of '76," he attained in his speeches at 
 critical times that eloquence called for by themes which were shaking 
 a continent, and it may be truly said that the cause of America was 
 more than once saved by his powers of persuasion over a colony of 
 shopkeepers or arabitionless husbandmen. He was elected to the 
 Assembly as one of the two Burgesses from the City in 1771, and was 
 re-elected the following year. Wiien the news came from Boston of the 
 closing up of the port by Act of Parliament, he was anxious for Phila- 
 delphia to send back an unequivocal expression of sympathy. This 
 he advocated with warmth at the meeting of principal citizens at the 
 city tavern, and, it having been arranged that Dickinson should under- 
 take to speak for the opposition, should counsel a message couched in 
 moderate language, but should express himself strongly in favor of 
 some answer, the patriots gained the considerable victory of having 
 Philadelphia take any notice of the news. To work up public senti- 
 ment in favor of a Continental Congress, Dickinson, Thomson, and 
 Mifflin made a "pleasure tour," as they called it, through two or three 
 frontier counties, peopled largely by the phlegmatic Germans, and 
 brought about a convention of county committees meeting at the same 
 time as the Assembly (see Pa. Mag. Hist. &c., Vol. 2, p. 411). At 
 the appointment of the first delegates to Congress, Mifflin was one of 
 those chosen, and was the most determined Whig of them all. He 
 was re-elected to the Assembly in 1774, and was sent also to the Con- 
 gress which met on May 10, 1775. 
 
 On hearing of the battle of Lexington, he urged the people of 
 Philadelphia at a town meeting to persevere in the cause. " Let us 
 not," said he, "be bold in declarations, and afterwards cold in action. 
 Let not the patriotic feeling of to-day be forgotten to-morrow, nor 
 have it said of Philadelphia, that she passed noble resolutions, slept 
 upon them, and afterwards forgot them." Althougii a Quaker, he 
 became Major of a regiment for the defence of the Province, and at 
 the organization of a Continental Army repaired to the encampment 
 before Boston, and became aide de-camp to the Commander-in-Chief. 
 Irving, in his Life of Washington, says that every day some of 
 the officers and occasionally members of Congress would dine with 
 Washington. "Though social, however, he was not convivial in his 
 habits. * * He would retire early from the board, leaving 
 
 an aide-de-camp or one of his officers to take his place. Col. Mifflin 
 was the first person wiio officiated as aide-de-camp. He was a Phila- 
 delphia gentleman of high respectability, who had accompanied him 
 
Mifflin. 365 
 
 from that city, and received iiis appointment sliortly after tlieir arrival 
 at Cambridge." Bancroft says: "Mifflin ciiarraed by liis activity, 
 spirit, and obliging behavior." In August, 1775, Washington ap- 
 pointed iiini Quarter-Master-Gcnerai, as he writes to Riciiard Henry 
 Lee, " from a tliorough persuasion of his integrity, my own experi- 
 ence of his activity, and finally because he stands unconnected with 
 either of these governments or witli this, that, or the other man ; for 
 between you and me there is more in this tiian you can easily imagine." 
 In October, 1775, the City of Philadelphia again elected Mifflin to 
 the Assembly. On May 19, 1776, he was made a Brigadier-General, 
 and entered upon active duties in the field. In the dark days of the 
 war, he was eminently useful as a recruiting officer. On Nov. 23, 
 1776, he was sent by Washington to Congress to beg for re-inforce- 
 ments; and he fulfilled his mission, says Bancroft, " with patriotism 
 and ability." Finding Pennsylvania in confusion, disputing over its 
 new Constitution, he had hard work to get the Associators for Defence 
 into motion. He appealed to the Assembly and to the old Committee 
 of Safety; he spoke at a town meeting amid great applause; the next 
 day, he reviewed the city militia ; in due time he marched about 1500 
 men up to Trenton. Others followed, and although they enlisted for 
 but a short period, to obtain recruits on any terras was something; the 
 British were advancing through New Jersey, and Philadelphia was in 
 danger. Congress sent him on Dec. 10th into the adjoining counties 
 to rouse the people, to call them in an inclement season of the year to 
 leave their firesides, and undertake weary marches, and, moreover, to 
 gather their own stores. Four members of the Assembly accompanied 
 him. They called meetings everywhere, Mifflin explaining the neces- 
 sity of the hour from pulpits and from judges' benches. They suc- 
 ceeded in bringing out the militia of Lancaster County and the fron- 
 tier region, although a large part of Eastern Pennsylvania remained 
 supine or disaffected ; and Mifflin participated in the movements fol- 
 lowing the battle of Trenton at the head of a considerable force. He 
 came to Piiiladelphia again June 11, 1777, with messages to Congress, 
 and that body intrusted to him and DuCoudray the arrangement of 
 the defences of the River Delaware. 
 
 Bancroft, in his celebrated History of the United States, has pierced 
 the halo wiiich surrounded every Revolutionary leader, and has brought 
 them all with their incapacity and their intrigues into public gaze: 
 but it may be doubted how far the character of any individual deserves 
 the strong terms of the rhetorician. Mifflin is severely attacked. 
 
366 Mifflin. 
 
 We learn that in 1777, when the British had fitted out an expedition 
 against Philadelphia, he rendered no service whatever; that on the 
 7th of November, when elected by Congress a member of the Board 
 of War, he was leaving a post of which he had neglected the duties, 
 <fect. Such conduct, if indeed his, was very remarkable in one who 
 had just before been so indefatigable in his labors, and may be ex- 
 plained by the weakening of his health, which his previous overwork 
 is known to have caused. Mifflin may not have been a paragon of 
 virtue, his private life may iiave been bad : but that he was idle is 
 contrary to all experience of his public life : that he was lukewarm is 
 incredible. That the army was not supplied properly, is due to other 
 causes, the depreciation of the Continental money, the disaiFection in 
 one part of the country, and the devastation in another. He is said 
 to have joined in the cry against Washington. But any honest man 
 could have believed in the expediency of a change of commanders : the 
 gloom over America after the loss of Philadelphia was such as to make 
 people lose all confidence in their General, and when the brilliant vic- 
 tory of Gates at Saratoga came to brighten the prospect, it was natural 
 to suggest tiiat Gates was more competent. Gen. Conway had writ- 
 ten, " Heaven has been determined to save your country or a weak 
 general and bad counsellors would have ruined it." The words 
 reached Washington's ears, but Conway refused to apologize, and told 
 Mifflin of his interview with the Commander-in-Chief. Mifflin was 
 temporary head of the Board of War, but Gates became its President 
 on Nov. 27th, and Mifflin declared to Gates that Conway's letter was 
 a "collection of just sentiments." Congress, in which, John Adams 
 said, there was always a faction against Washington, ajjpointed Con- 
 way Inspector-General, and referred him to the Board of War, inde- 
 pendent of Washington, for the regulations to be introduced. The 
 internment of the army at Valley Forge called forth the remonstrances 
 of the Continental Congress and of the Supreme Executive Council 
 and the Assembly of Pennsylvania. Washington, in reply, says Ban- 
 croft, laid "deserved blame" on Mifflin for neglect of duty as Qiiarter- 
 Master, and pointed out the distressed condition of the troops. Con- 
 gress in January appointed Gates, Mifflin, and Pickering of the Board 
 of War to join a committee from Congress for consulting with Wash- 
 ington at headquarters upon a complete reform in the administration 
 of the army. Bancroft says that those who had cavilled at Wash- 
 ington, being unable to shake the confidence of the people, wished 
 their words benevolently interpreted or forgotten, and Gates and Mifflin 
 
Mifflin. 367 
 
 as well as Pickering had themselves excused from service with the com- 
 mittee. Mifflin was made a Major-General in February, 1778, and 
 tiie Quarter-Master-General's duties were intrusted to Gen. Greene on 
 the 2nd of March. When, however, Mifflin requested leave to join 
 the army, Congress desired Washington to make inquiry into his con- 
 duct, and if the distresses of the army were attributaijie to him or to 
 his inferiors, to order a court-martial. Mifflin, never obtaining an 
 examination, oifered his resignation, but Congress refused to accept it, 
 and, notwitlistanding the state of his health, he served all through the 
 war. Congress, which seems always to have trusted him, placed in 
 his hands a million dollars to settle the claims incurred during his 
 administration of the Quarter-Master-General's department, and in 
 January, 1780, appointed him member of a board to devise means for 
 retrenching expenditure. 
 
 In 1782, lie was sent back to the Continental Congress as a dele- 
 gate from Pennsylvania, and on Nov. 3, 1783, became President of 
 that honorable body, receiving George Washington's resignation of 
 the command of the armies on the 23rd of December, and replying in 
 beautiful and impressive words. Mifflin retired from Congress after 
 presiding over it a year. In 1785, he was Speaker of the Assembly 
 of Pennsylvania. In 1787, lie was a member of the Convention which 
 framed the Constitution of the United States. 
 
 In 1788, he was chosen to the Supreme Executive Council of Penn- 
 sylvania, and was made its President. He continued under that title 
 the head of the State until the Constitution of 1790 went into effect, 
 being also President of the Convention which framed that Constitu- 
 tion. When the popular election was held to choose the first Gov- 
 ernor, Thomas Mifflin received a large majority of the votes. Gen. 
 Arthur St. Glair being his opponent. Mifflin was inaugurated Dec. 
 21, 1790, and by re-elections served for nine years. The period is 
 chiefly memorable for the " Whiskey Insurrection," by the people around

 in the military preparations to suppress it, making a journey through 
 the lower tier of counties to raise Pennsylvania's quota of the troops, 
 as the militia could not be ordered into action, and, when naturally he 
 could have ex[)ected the command of troops whose operations were to 
 be in his own state, he laid aside his personal dignity by serving as 
 military subordinate to the Governor of Virginia, who had been of 
 inferior rank in the Revolutionary Army. The Constitution of Penn-

 1799. He was however chosen to the Assembly. The House met at 
 Lancaster, and he began to attend its sessions; but in a short time, 
 he was taken ill, and on the 20th of January, 1800, in the 57th year 
 of his age, breathed the last breath of an eventful life. His was a 
 life, according to William Rawle, who wrote his biography, " brilliant 
 in its outset — troubled and perplexed at a period more advanced — 
 again distinguished, prosperous, and happy — finally clouded by pov- 
 erty and oppressed by creditors — in patriotic principle never changing

 tar by his w. Sarah, dau. of Bartholomew Wyatt of Salem, N. J., and 
 gr'dson of a Caspar Wistar who emigrated from the Palatinate. Dr. 
 Wistar began his medical education under Dr. John Redman of Phila., 
 with whom he remained three years, attending also the lectures of the 
 medical school, and receiving from it in 1782 the degree of Bachelor 
 in Arte Medica. In 1783, he went to Europe to complete his educa- 
 tion, and, after remaining a year in London, removed to Edinburgh, 
 where he made the acquaintance of the men most eminent in the 
 science, and at that early age was honored by election and re-election 
 as one of the Presidents of the Royal Medical Society of that City, and 
 was also President of the Society for the Further Investigation of 
 Natural History. He received the degree of M. D. form the Uni- 
 versity of Edinburgh in 1786, his dissertation being "De Animo 
 Demisso." He I'eturned to Philadelphia in January, 1787, and began 
 active practice. In the same year, he was appointed one of the attend- 
 ing physicians of the Dispensary. In 1789, he was made Professor of 
 Chemistry and Physiology in the College of Philadelphia, one of the two 
 rival Faculties which divided and weakened the friends of medical edu- 
 cation, but whose union was greatly desired by him. This indeed was 
 achieved three years later, and in January, 1792, he was made adjunct 
 Professor of Anatomy, Midwifery, and Surgery in the institution 
 known as the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania. 
 Midwifery and Surgery were afterwards made separate chairs. Dr. 
 Wistar and Dr. Shippen continuing to teach Anatomy. On the death 
 of Dr. Shippen in 1808, Wistar became sole Professor of that branch. 
 He did much for the school, besides shedding lustre on it by his repu- 
 tation. He liberally provided himself with apparatus, drawings, &ct.,

 was submitted to generally throughout the city, and a society which 
 he started, provided for the gratuitous vaccination of the poor. He 
 was a correspondent of Humboldt, Scemerring, and Michaud. The

 1793 — the yellow fever year — until 1810, he was a physician to the 
 Penna. Hospital. He wrote a System of Anatomy, in 2 vols., Phila., 
 1811. In 1815, he succeeded Thomas Jefferson as President of the 
 American Philosophical Society. Socially he is known as the origi- 
 nator of the " Wistar Parties." He was several years President of 
 the Abolition Society of Pennsylvania.

 BY BICHAED M. CAD"V\'ALADER, ESQ. 
 
 The father of Dr. Thomas Cadwalader, the Councillor, was John 
 •Cadwalader, who emigrated to Pennsylvania from Pembrokeshire, 
 North Wales, towards the close of the XVIIth century, and m. Dec. 
 29, 1699 at the Friends' Meeting, Lower Merion, Phila. Co., Martha 
 Jones, dau. of Dr. Edward Jones, one of the earliest practitioners of 
 medicine in the Province. The mother of Martha Jones was Mary, 
 dau. of Thomas Wynne, "chirurgeon" from Cterways, Flintshire, 
 Wales, who came over with Penn in the " Welcome," and was Speaker 
 of the first tiiree General Assemblies. 
 
 From a letter by Robert Vaughan dated 3 mo., 1687, to his aunt 
 Katiiarine, widow of John ap Thomas, in the hands of Dr. J. J. Levick 
 of Phila., it would appear that John Cadwalader was an orphan 
 at an early age, and was placed among relations in Llaythwyn, 
 Wales, and probably received his education at the school at Pembroke, 
 In his marriage certificate, he is styled " schoolmaster." On July 
 13, 1705, he was admitted a freeman of the City of Phila., and turned 
 his attention to mercantile pursuits until his death. He was elected 
 to the Common Council in 1718, and appears to have been an active 
 member of that body until Jany. 28, 1733-4. From 1729 to 1734, 
 he was annually chosen one of the representatives of Philada. County 
 in the Provincial Assembly. This John Cadwalader must not be con- 
 founded with John Cadwallader of Abington, Pa., a noted Quaker 
 preacher, who died about 1741 in Barbadoes, while making a preaching 
 tour in the West Indies. 
 
 John Cadwalader d. in Phila. July 23, 1734, and was bu. in the 
 Friends' buryiiig-ground. He died intestate, and letters of adminis- 
 tration were granted to his widow Martha and his son Thomas. 
 Martha Cadwalader d. April 16, 1747, and was bu. with her husband 
 in the Friends' burying-ground. 
 
372 Cadwalader. 
 
 Dr. Thomas Cadwalader was b. in Phila., and received his early 
 education at the Friends' Public School, then under the charge of 
 Thomas Makin, who has achieved a rejjutation as the instructor of 
 many distinguished men. It is believed that he began medicine with 
 his uncle Evan Jones, chemist in Phila. Leaving America, he ar- 
 rived in London, England, and pursued his studies as a physician. 
 After this, he studied anatomy for one year under the celebrated Ches- 
 selden, returning home about 1731. 
 
 He began his career as a physician in Phila., and was one of the 
 original corporators of the Philadelphia Library Company, founded 
 in 1731, and was a Director from 1731 to 1732, 1733 to 1739, 1752 
 to 1769, 1773 to 1774. Watson's Annals mentions him as one of the' 
 physicians inoculating for the small pox in the winter of 1736-7. 
 In 1745, he published his Essay on the West India Dry Gripes, a 
 violent colic, characterized by a pain in the abdomen, which seems to 
 have been introduced into Philadelphia from the West Indies. This 
 was one of the earliest publications in the history of Medicine in 
 America, the purpose of which was to prove that quicksilver and drastic 
 purgatives were highly injurious to the system, and to recommend the 
 use of mild cathartics. Dr. Push with other leading physicians approved 
 of this, and the practice was adopted with success in England and 
 America. In 1746, Governor Belcher granted Trenton, N. J., a charter 
 as a borough. Dr. Thomas Cadwalader, who seems to have settled 
 there after his marriage, was chosen first Burgess. The Young Men's 
 Christian Association has in its possession a number of volumes of a 
 public library founded by him at Trenton. In 1750, the citizens sur- 
 rendered their charter as a borough to the Governor, and Dr. Cadwalader 
 soon returned to Phila. Before leaving, he is reported by the applica- 
 tion of electricity to have saved the life of a sou of Governor Belcher. 
 
 In 1751, he subscribed towards the capital stock of the Penna. 
 Hospital, of which he was one of the original physicians. The same 
 year, he was elected a member of the Common Council of Philadelphia, 
 and served until 1774. He was called to the Provincial Council 
 with Chew and Mifflin, Nov. 2, 1755, and served until the Revolution. 
 He became a Trustee of the College, now the University of Penna., in 
 1753. He was member of both the Philosophical Society and the 
 Society for Promoting Useful Knowledge, before their union, July 2, 
 1769, as the American Philosophical Society held at Phila. &ct., and 
 in 1765, he was elected a Trustee of the Medical College of Philadelphia, 
 
Cadwalader. 373 
 
 established by Dr. William Shippeu the younger. He also gave a 
 course of medical lectures. 
 
 He signed the Non-Importation Articles, and when the Revolution 
 came, sided with the Whigs, but his age precluded him from a more 
 active part. In July, 1776, the Committee of Safety of Penna. ap- 
 pointed Drs. Cadwalader, Bond, Rush, and Shippen (Wm. Jr.) a com- 
 mittee for the examination of all the candidates who applied for the 
 position of Surgeons in the Navy. In July, 1776, Cadwalader was 
 appointed a Medical Director of the Army Hospitals, and in 1778, he 
 succeeded Dr. William Shippen the elder as Surgeon of the Penna. 
 Hospital. 
 
 It is related of his courtesy, that meeting the disappointed suitor 
 Bruhleman seized with a homicidal mania, in the streets of Philadel- 
 phia, his agreeable salutation so disconcerted the assassin that he was 
 allowed to pass on unconscious of his danger. Bruhleman was exe- 
 cuted for the murder of Scull, who soon afterwards came in his way. 
 
 Dr. John Jones of New York in his work on Surgery thus dedicates 
 it to Dr. Thomas Cadwalader : 
 
 "To you whose life has been one continued scene of benevolence 
 and humanity, the most effectual efforts to soften human misery and 
 to smooth the bed of death will I know be an acceptable present, how- 
 ever short the well-meant zeal of its author may fall of its purpose. 
 Nor will you suspect me of the vanity of supposing that I shall convey 
 anything new or instructive to men of knowledge and experience in 
 their profession, much less to yourself, to whose excellent precepts both 
 in Physics and Morals I owe the best and earlier lessons of my life ; 
 and if I have attained any degree of estimation with my fellow-citi- 
 zens it is with the sincere and heartfelt pleasure I acknowledge the 
 source." 
 
 He died at Greenwood, a farm now in possession of the grandchil- 
 dren of his son Col. Lambert Cadwalader, about a mile from the City 
 of Trenton, N. J., Nov. 14, 1779, aged 72 years, and was buried at the 
 Friends' burying-ground in the city of Trenton. He m. June 18, 1738

 John Cadwalader, b. Phila. Jany., 1742, son of the Councillor, 
 before the Revolutionary War was engaged in mercantile pursuits in 
 Phila. with his brother under the firm name of John & Lambert Cad- 
 walader, which is among the signatures to the Non-Importation Agree- 
 ment of 1765. John Cadwalader was Vice President of the Jockey 
 Club in 1768, when Richard Penn, the Councillor, was President. In 
 1771, he erected a large double house in Second Street below Spruce 
 Street, with gardens extending as far as Third Street. At the breaking 
 out of the War, he commanded the Philadelphia Silk-Stocking Com- 
 pany, many of the members of which became officers in the line. As 
 a member of the Committee of Safety, he was chairman of a number 
 of military committees, but resigned therefrom to accept the Colon- 
 elcy of one of the City Battalions ; afterwards promoted to Brigadier- 
 General, he commanded the Pennsylvania troops in the campaign of 
 the following winter, 1776. When Washington matured his plans 
 to cross the River Delaware above the Falls at Trenton with his 
 main division, the two smaller divisions under command of Genls. 
 Ewing and Cadwalader were ordered to cross at the same time at 
 points lower down the shore ; that under Genl. Ewing, at the Ferry 
 below Trenton, the other under Cadwalader, a ieyf miles lower. In 
 the instructions of Genl. Washington, on Christmas day, 1776, he 
 
Cadwalader. 375 
 
 said, " If you can do nothing real, at least create as big a diversion as 
 possible." Gen. Cadwalader crossed on the 27th from Bristol, and 
 remained ou the Jersey side. Ewing's command crossed on the 28th 
 and 29th, taking a position at Bordentown. Genl. Washington had 
 returned to Pennsylvania after the battle of Trenton, but again crossed 
 the Delaware, and joined the divisions of Cadwalader and Ewing. 
 Marching from Trenton on the third of January, 1777, Washington 
 made the attack upon Princeton, and afterwards, in his report to the 
 President of Congress, alluded to Genl. Cadwalader as "a man of 
 ability, a good disciplinarian, a man of good principles and of intrepid 
 bravery." Chief Justice Marshall, who was at that time an officer in 
 the army, in a letter speaks of Genl. Cadwalader's " activity, talents, 
 and zeal." Genl. Joseph Reed, in a Letter to the President of Penn- 
 sylvania, dated Morristown, January 24, 1777, said "Genl. Cadwalader 
 has conducted his command with great honor to himself and the 
 Province, all the field officers supported their character, their exam- 
 ple was followed by the inferior officers and men ; so they have re- 
 turned with the thanks of every general officer of the army." 
 
 On February 21, 1777, Cadwalader was appointed one of the ten 
 Brigadier-Generals authorized by law, but declined the appointment, 
 preferring to remain in the field in the service of the State. In Sep- 
 tember, he was chosen unanimously by Congress Brigadier-General of 
 the Cavalry of the U. S. This he declined, believing the war practi- 
 cally at an end. Genl. Washington, who had earnestly solicited Genl. 
 Cadwalader to accept the appointment, repeated the expression of 
 regret that he was not in the army, and of a desire to see him there 
 again. At the request of Genl. Washington, asking his good offices, 
 he was instrumental in organizing the militia of the Eastern Shore of 
 Maryland, and afterwards joined the army under Washington, and was 
 actively engaged in the Battle of Brandy wine, and again as a volunteer 
 at the Battle of Germantown, and, it is said, was useful in partisan 
 service on the flanks of the enemy at Whitemarsh. 
 
 In the Spring of 1778, in answer to a letter, Genl. Washington 
 alludes with pleasure to the hope of seeing Genl. Cadwalader in camp 
 again, adding, " We want your aid exceedingly, and the public perhaps 
 at no time since the commencement of the war would be more bene- 
 fitted by your advice and assistance than at the present moment and 
 throughout all this campaign which must be important and critical." 
 The British Army, evacuating Philadelphia, June, 1778,moved towards 
 New York, as if inviting a general engagement in New Jersey. At a 
 
376 Cadwalader . 
 
 previous Council of War, Chief Justice Marsliall says, of the seventeen 
 Generals, Wayne and Cadwalader were the only two who urged an 
 attack, although Lafayette and Greene seemed to favor it, while Genl. 
 Washington was inclined to it. Washington ordered Arnold, then at 
 Philadelphia, with a body of Continental troops and as many of the 
 militia as could be collected in the city and in the country adjoining, 
 to advance in the rear of the enemy, with the hope that Genl. Cadwal- 
 ader would be prevailed upon to take command. At a second meet- 
 ing of the council of general officers, finding that he was supported 
 by those in whom he felt confidence, Washington determined upon 
 the measure which resulted on June 28, 1778, in the battle of Mon- 
 mouth, in which Genl. Cadwalader was actively engaged. 
 
 Soon after this, he fought a duel with General Conway, whom Wash- 
 ington had designated "as a dangerous incendiary." A combination 
 had been formed to supplant Genl. Washington, and substitute Genl. 
 Gates in the chief command. This is generally spoken of as " Con- 
 way's Cabal." Cadwalader's opposition to this, and certain remarks 
 upon Genl. Conway's behavior at the Battle of Germantown, brought 
 a challenge from Genl. Conway to Cadwalader. Genl. Conway was 
 severely wounded, and, believing himself to be mortally so, expressed 
 to Genl. Washington his grief, adding " My career will soon be over, 
 therefore Justice and trutli prompt me to declai'e my last sentiments 
 ***** May you long enjoy the love, veneration and esteem of 
 these states whose liberties you have asserted by your virtues." 
 
 In 1779, he became a Trustee of the University of Pennsylvania, 
 succeeding his father, and, returning to his home in Maryland, became 
 a member of the Legislative Assembly. 
 
 He died February 10, 178(5 at Siuewsbury in Kent County, Mary- 
 land, aged 44 years 1 month and 1 day.

 ests, which withdrew him from practice. In April, 1799, as a private 
 soldier in a cavalry troop, he was one of 16 who captured the ring- 
 leaders of an insurrection in Penna. which grew out of a resistance to 
 the enforcement of a law levying a tax to defray the charges of the 
 French war. The prisoners were brought to Gen. McPherson, and 
 were afterwards convicted of high treason, but were pardoned. Cad-

 walader applied for a commission in the army, which was proposed to 
 be raised at the time of the naval war with France, and of which 
 Washington had accepted the command, but the army was not re- 
 quired. In the War of 1812, he was a Lieut. Col. of cavalry, but 
 was soon after appointed to command tiie " advanced light brigade." 
 They were encamped on the lands of Mr. Du Pout of Wilmington. 
 Under Genl. Cadwalader's training, these troops became remarkable for 
 their efficiency and discipline. He was afterwards Maj. Gen. 1st Div., 
 Pa. Militia. He declined various civic positions, among others that of 
 Minister to the Court of St. James, which Pi-es. Monroe was anxious 
 to have him accept. He was apjiointed with Gen. Scott and Col. 
 (afterwards President) Taylor in 1826 to revise the tactics of the U. 
 S. Army. He was author of articles in various journals, and his man- 
 sion at Ninth and Arch -was the resort of the most accomplished 
 scholars of the country. He died Oct. 31, 1841. He m. June 25,

 the several districts of which Philadelphia was formerly com-

 ity to use troops to quell disturbances was a hotly-disputed 
 one, and General Cadwalader and other officers were in much 
 personal danger from the anti-Catholic faction. A gibbet 
 was erected for his execution, but his person not being secured, 
 he was hung in effigy. The coroner's inquest on the bodies 
 of the dead rioters was iield during the height of the excite- 
 ment, and the jury at first found General Cadwalader crimi- 
 nally responsible for the killing. This finding was however 
 set aside. To his determination and calm judgment, the 
 prompt suppression of the riots was generally conceded. A 
 popular fund was raised, limited to a few cents for civilians 
 only, with which a massive silver vase was procured and pre- 
 sented to him in the name of the people. He continued to 
 take great interest in developing the Militia, until the break- 
 ing out of the Mexican War in 1847, when President Polk 
 commissioned him as a Brigadier-General in the Regular 
 Army. He at once repaired to the seat of war, and serving 
 under General Scott's command, participated in every general 
 engagement from the landing at Vera Cruz to the taking of 
 the City of Mexico; and was brevetted Sep. 13, 1847 a 
 Major-General in the Regular Army for gallant conduct at 
 Chapultepec. On his return after the War, a public demon- 
 stration in his honor took place, and the Mayor received him 
 in Independence Hall, to which he was escorted by the troops. 
 He resigned from the service, but renewed his connection with 
 the militia, and resumed his care of the large interests con- 
 fided to him, having succeeded his father in the agency of the 
 Penn, Hamilton, and other estates. He became interested 
 in agriculture, acquiring an estate of 10,000 acres in Mary- 
 land, including the celebrated ducking-ground, Maxwell's 
 Point. He was connected with many corporations, including 
 the old " Green Tree" Insurance Company, of which he was 
 President for years. On the outbreak of the Rebellion in 
 1861, he at once tendered his services to the President. There 
 was a difference of opinion as to the precedence of an officer 
 holding a brevet rank, as maintained by General Scott, and in 
 consequence of this difference, General Cadwalader accepted 
 a commission as Major-General of Volunteers, and served 
 throughout the war in various capacities. During the early 
 period, his services were actively in the field ; but later, he

 Lambert Cadwalader, son of the Councillor, entered into com- 
 mercial business with his brother. The following letter to George 
 Morgan shows his feelings upon the dispute with the Motiier Country 
 as early as May 18, 1766: 
 
 " I have now the pleasure to communicate to you the joyful news 
 of the repeal of the Stamp Act; news that almost calls back youth to 
 the aged, gives health and vigor to the sick and infirm. The act to 
 repeal the Stamp Act received the Royal assent on the 18th of March 
 and a copy was brought here in a vessel from Poole. If ever the 
 Americans should fall into ])aganism, place dead men among their 
 gods and worship them, there is scarce anyone that will have a better 
 chance of being enrolled in the number of them, than Mr. Pitt. This 
 great man by his abilities, virtues and extraordinary courage has 
 gained a never dying name. * * * * 
 
 America is again free ! God bless her ! long may she remain so ! 
 As to the act asserting the right of Parliament to tax the colonies, we 
 shall regard it as waste paper. Let us only enjoy liberty but half a 
 century longer and we will defy the power of England to enslave us." 
 
 John and Lambert Cadwalader were chosen as members of the 
 Committee of Superintendence and Correspondence for Philadelphia. 
 Lambert Cadwalader was sent to the Provincial Convention which met 
 in January, 1775. To the call to arms, Lambert promptly responded, 
 and was chosen Captain of one of the companies of the Greens. The 
 Congress of Deputies called upon Pennsylvania for four battalions. 
 The Committee sent in a list on Jauuary 3rd, 1776, with Lambert Cad- 
 
388 Cadwalader. 
 
 walader's name at the head for one of the Lieut. Colonelcies. Cadwala- 
 der was attached to the battalion under the command of Col. Shee, and 
 Graydoii, in his Memoirs, says, " Ours was on a footing of the most 
 promising on the continent." On the 18th of June, Genl. Heath wrote 
 in his diary, " The Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Col. Shee 
 and Magaw have the appearance of fine troops." 
 
 That same mouth, they, under the command of Genl. Mifflin, erected 
 Fort Washington on the Hudson, so as with the Forts Constitution 
 and Lee opposite to command the River. 
 
 On the report of Genl. Heath to Genl. Washington, that Shee and 
 Magaw's Regiment were among the best disciplined of any troops in 
 the army, Genl. Mifilin was ordered with them to New York. Irving 
 i-efers to them as well disciplined, efficient, and accustomed to act to- 
 gether. When their time expired. Col. Shee returned home: the 
 Third battalion re-enlisted for the war as the Fourth Regiment of Foot 
 in the Army of the U. S., and Cadwalader, who had been in command, 
 was commissioned Colonel. Cadwalader in command of his regiment 
 was among those taken prisoner at Fort Washington. Irving, in 
 speaking of that battle, said of Washington, watching at one stage 
 of the fight, that nothing encouraged him more than the gallant style 
 in which Cadwalader with an inferior force maintained his position ; 
 "it gave me great hope," he wrote to Congress, " that the enemy was 
 entirely repulsed." Cadwalader with the rest of the captured garri- 
 son were marched to New York, and although sent home was unable 
 to procure his release by an exchange of prisoners. He was compelled 
 to remain inactive, and finally resigned from the army. 
 
 He took a prominent part in the Constitutional Convention of 1776. 
 In 1784 he was elected a deputy to the Continental Congress, and sat 
 there until 1787. He was also a member of the Grand Committee to 
 which was referred the Report of the Annapolis Commission recom- 
 mending the calling of the Federal Convention, resulting in the Con- 
 stitution of the United States. 
 
 He was elected a Representative from New Jersey to the 1st Consti- 
 tutional Congress beginning the 4th of March, 1789, and served in the 
 3rd Congress until March, 1795, finally retiring to private life. 
 
 In March, 1776, he bought the country seat "Greenwood" in 
 Ewing township, about a mile from the city of Trenton, New Jersey, 
 a portion of which is supposed to have been of the original tract held by 
 his father, and where his father died. Lambert Cadwalader d. Green-

 James Tilghman, the Councillor, was born at the Hermitage Dec. 
 6, 1716, studied law, and began practice at Annapolis, from whence 
 he removed to Philadelphia about 1760. Eminent in his profession, 
 
400 Tilghman. 
 
 and familiar with the land business of Lord Baltimore, Proprietary of 
 an adjoining Province, he was asked by John Peun in 1765 to suc- 
 ceed William Peters as Secretary of the Land office. Stipulating for 
 a salary of 300Z., besides certain fees, he accepted the position, and 
 held it until the Revolution. He reduced the work of the Land office 
 to a regular and equitable system, where before his time the adminis- 
 tration could be generally charged with carelessness, favoritism, or ex- 
 tortion. He was chosen a Common Councilman of Phila. Oct. 3, 
 1764. He qualified as a member of the Provincial Council Jany. 29, 
 1767. His chief service in this capacity was as one of the two sent 
 to Lord Dunmore, Gov. of Virginia, to prevail upon him to join in 
 an application to the Crown for a settlement of the boundary dispute. 
 At the commencement of the Revolutionary struggle, his views were 
 liberal, like those of nearly every public man. He wished a repeal of 
 the Acts of Parliament most generally complained of; he thought the 
 Boston Port Bill an outrage, but condemned the " Boston Tea-Party," 
 and when it was proposed to take up a collection for those who had 
 suffered by opposition to the Mother Country, declared to a friend that 
 the Bostonians should do justice before they asked charity, and should 
 make reimbursement for the tea. As the struggle proceeded, he shared 
 the loyalist views of his colleagues in office. On the approach of the 
 British towards Philadelphia, he among others was placed under arrest 
 by the authorities of the State, and gave his parole. Permission was 
 granted him, Aug. 31, 1777, to visit his family in Maryland, and return 
 within a month, befoi-e the end of which the British Army entered 
 Philadelphia; so he remained at Chestertown, On May 16, 1778, he 
 was discharged from parole. He d. Aug. 24, 1793. He m. Xt. Ch.

 Tench Tilghman, b. at Fausley Dec. 25, 1744, son of the Coun- 
 cillor,, was educated under the direction of his grandfather Francis, 
 and graduated at the College of Phila. in 1761. He engaged in mer- 
 cantile business in Philadelphia with his uncle Tench Francis, and 
 had acquired a moderate competency before the breaking out of the 
 Revolutionary War, when, he says, " I came to a determination to 
 share the fate of my country, and, that I might not be merely a spec- 
 tator, I made as hasty a close as I possibly could of my commercial 
 affairs, making it a point to collect and deposit in safe hands as much 
 as would, when times and circumstances would permit, enable me to 
 discharge my European debts, which were indeed all I had except 
 
 about £ put into my hands by Mr. R. Senr. in trust for my 
 
 youngest brother." As captain of a volunteer company, he joined 
 the army of Washington. He served throughout the war, participat- 
 ing in every battle in which the main army was engaged. In August, 
 1775, he was Secretary to the Congressional commission to treat with 
 the Northern Indians, and is believed to have written the valuable

 report to Congress of its proceedings. In 1776, he was attached to 
 the Flying Camp, and in August of that year, became aide-de-camp 
 to General Washington. Acting in this capacity through five years 
 of hard service, during most of the time refusing pay, and enjoying 
 the friendship, confidence, and gratitude of the Commander-in-Chief, 
 he was, on May 30, 1781, commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel, to rank 
 from April 1, 1777. He generously agreed to rank from a time sev- 
 eral mouths later than his joining Washington's military family, in 
 order not to take precedency of Alexander Hamilton and Mr. Meade, 
 who were more contentious for recognition of their services. Tilgh- 
 man continued with Washington until the surrender at Yorktown in 
 the latter part of 1781, and was the messenger sent with the good 
 news to the Congress at Philadelphia. He arrived in the City about 
 midnight of the 23d of October, sought out the house of McKeau, 
 the President of Congress, pounded at his door, and uttered words 
 which, echoed by the watchman, brought the people from their beds 
 for greater rejoicing than had been caused by any event in American 
 history. In its congratulatory proceedings. Congress, on Oct. 29, 
 voted a horse with the caparisons and a sword to be presented to Tilgh- 
 man. After the disbanding of the army, Tilghman resumed com- 
 mercial life, settling in Baltimore, and becoming the partner of the 
 eminent Robert Morris of Phila. While so engaged. Tench Tilgh- 
 man died, in the prime of life, April 18, 1786 ; and no less a person 
 than the Father of his Country passed this eulogy upon him, that he 
 " left as fair a reputation as ever belonged to a human character."

 William Tilghmax, son of tiie Connfiillor, was b. at Fausley 
 Aug. 12, 1756. When about seven years old, the family residing in 
 Philadelphia, he was placed at the Academy, an adjunct of the College. 
 Here he remained until his fourteenth year, receiving instruction in the 
 classics, which ever remained liis delight, and in which he was after- 
 Mards as good a scholar as the bench or bar of Philadelphia aiforded. 
 Mr. Beveridge, Mr. Wallis, and Dr. Davidson, the author of the 
 grammar, were successively the tutors of these branches to whom the 
 boys of the institution were committed. Duly prepared, he went to 
 College, i. e. entered in 1769 the upper department of the school. He 
 left before graduation ; but such was his devotion to literature tliat he 
 continued for some time to read Latin and Greek authors with the 
 benefit of Dr. Francis Alison's prelections. In February, 1772, he 
 began the study of law in the office of Benjamin Chew, grounding him- 
 self in that venerable, intricate, yet beautifully reasoned lex non seripta 
 which under the name of the Common Law of England is the main 
 part of our jurisprudence. And this he learned, not from the popular 
 treatise of Blackstoue, but the dry reports of Plowden, and the pon- 
 derous tomes of Coke. Tilghman remained in Chew's office until De- 
 cember, 1776, when he removed to Maryland. During the remainder 
 of the Eevolutionary war, he lived in quiet study, part of the time on 
 his father's estate, and part with his father at Chestertown, reading 
 deeply and laboriously, and applying his intervals of leisure to the edu- 
 cation of a younger brother. In the Spring of 1783, after what may be 
 called an apprenticeship of eleven years, a near approach to the viginti 
 annorum lucid) rationes of ancient times, Tilghman was admitted to prac- 
 tice in Maryland. In 1788 and for some years after, he was a member 
 of the Legislature of that State, and took an active part in procuring 
 the adoption of the Federal Constitution. In 1793, a few months before 
 
410 Tilghman. 
 
 his marriage, lie returned to Philadelphia, and commenced practising 
 there, at the seat of the National Government, surrounded by eminent 
 men from all parts of the country. From Horace Binuey's eulogium 
 upon him, whence we draw the facts for this sketch, we learn that 
 " his law arguments were remarkable for the distinctness with which 
 he presented his case, and the persjjicuity and accuracy with which his 
 legal references were made to sustain it. He was concise, simple, occa- 
 sionally nervous, and uniformly faithful to the Court as he was to the 
 client : But the force of his intellect resided in his judgment ; and 
 even higher faculties than his as an advocate, would have been thrown 
 comparatively into the shade, by the more striking light which sur- 
 rounded his path as a judge." 
 
 Tilghman's first judicial office was Chief Judge of the U. S. Circuit 
 Court for the circuit including Pennsylvania, to which he was ap- 
 pointed March 3, 1801, by President Adams, but which he very soon 
 lost, by the abolition of the court about a year after the act was ])assed 
 creating it. On July 31, 1805, he was appointed President of the 
 Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, and on the 25th of 
 February following, was raised to the Chief Justiceship of the Supreme 
 Court of Pennsylvania. In this position for twenty-one years, he is, if we 
 except perhaps Chief Justice Gibson, the central figure of our judicial 
 history : and " the contents of twenty volumes of reports and upwards 
 of two thousand judgments, most of them elaborate, all of them sutS- 
 ciently reasoned, very few upon matters of practice or on points of 
 fugitive interest, attest the devotion of his judicial life." In the first 
 ten years, he delivered an opinion in every case but five, the arguments 
 in four of which he was jjrevented from hearing by sickness, and in 
 one by domestic affliction, and in more than two hundred and fifty 
 cases, he either pronounced the judgment of the court, or his brethren 
 concurred iu his opinions without a comment. Mr. Binney has pointed 
 out the chief characteristics of the opinions he delivered — his venera- 
 tion for law and above all the Common Law and his dread of judicial 
 legislation, his sparing quotation of authorities and his disregard of 
 mere dicta and care that none should fall from his lips, his simple yet 
 perspicuous language, and his statement of a legal principle not as the 
 regula of an abstruse science, but as the embodiment of common sense. 
 It may be added that few judges have taken more interest in our judi- 
 cial history, or laid as much stress upon the common understanding of 
 the Bar, or taken as much pains to ascertain the views of former prac- 
 titioners. Connected, too, by ties of blood or affinity with the most

 prominent persons of earlier days, and in fact himself particularly 
 noticeable as the last man in high office in Pennsylvania who belonged 
 to one of tlie families of our old Provincial aristocracy, he cherished 
 our local traditions. 
 
 In his time, and he being, in the words of Mr. Binney, " tlie pre- 
 siding spirit of their consultations as he was of their court," great and 
 fundamental differences between the common law of Pennsylvania and 
 the common law and early statutes of England, were declared by our 
 judges : and doctrines of modern growth in England, or in earlier times 
 arising out of a different state of society, were in many cases refused 
 adoption ; and Pennsylvania law had stamped upon it features peculiar 
 to itself. It may also be said that in no other state in the Union is 
 the feudal system so much considered. The great lawyer whom we 
 are quoting so freely has named Tilghman's greatest services to our 
 jurisprudence. He gave to the Statutes of Limitations in actions on 
 contract a beneficial interpretation : he declared the beds of navigable 
 rivers the property of the Commonwealth ; he did for the Land Office 
 system as a judge what his father did as an administrative officer to 
 harmonize it with every other part of our code : he established the 
 methodized science of Cliaucery justice among us, to be administered 
 through the forms of Common Law procedure. 
 
 The chief production of his pen outside of his legal decisions given 
 in Court was the Report of the Judges on the English Statutes in 
 force in Pennsylvania. Tilghman had the highest sense of judicial 
 decorum and the obligations of his office. Not a supercilious, osten- 
 tatious, or ungentlemanly woi-d ever escaped him on the bench. He 
 once refused to take part in a meeting on the Missouri question ; be- 
 cause, often obliged to decide in matters relating to slavery, he would 
 do nothing to bring his impartiality into doubt. Yet he expressed a 
 " fervent wish to see the evils of this institution mitigated, and, if 
 possible, extinguished ;" and he freed his own slaves by a plan of 
 gradual emancipation. This he had devised April 24, 1811, executing 
 an instrument on that day freeing four of them at once, nine others 
 in successive periods of from three to seven years, and the residue, 
 twenty-five in number, together with their issue, on the first of the 
 January after they should respectively attain the age of twenty-eight. 
 Were any meanwhile absent from duty wilfully or by imprisonment 
 for crime, his freedom was to be further deferred for treble the term 
 of his absence. Twenty attained their emancipation during the Chief 
 Justice's lifetime. William Tilghman was a man of Christian piety,

 kindliest cliarity, and strictest iiitegrit)'. Ou going the circuits, he 
 invariably carried with him his Bible, some recent treatise on the law> 
 and some Latin author. He was chosen President of the American 
 Philosophical Society in 1824 ; the post of all others, perhaps, for whch 
 he was least fitted, as he knew little of natural science, although anxious 
 for its advancement. He was also member of those bodies which seek 
 men of high social or business influence whenever there is a vacancy 
 to fill ; and in them he was conscientiously attentive to his duties. He 
 was Trustee of the University of Pennsylvania, also the first President 
 of the Athenaeum, and a Warden of the United Churches — Christ 
 Church and St. Peter's. He continued to preside over the Supreme 
 Court until his last sickness. In the words of his eulogist, " on Mon- 
 " day the 30th of April, 1827, he closed his eyes for ever. It will be 
 " long, very long before we shall open ours upon a wiser judge, a 
 " sounder lawyer, a riper scholar, a purer man, or a truer gentleman."

John Moland. 
 
 The name Moland appears to have been contracted from Moreland, 
 in or shortly before the days of the Councillor. There is a John 
 Moland, perhaps his father, named in the catalogue of tiie graduates 
 of the University of Oxford, who took the degree of B. C. L. on 
 Oct. 11, 1714. John Moland the Councillor is said to have been 
 born in London in 1700, and studied law at the Inner Temple, on 
 the books of which he is called Joiin Morland, and a note says that 
 he was commissioned King's Attorney in Pennsylvania. He first 
 appears in our records, several years before his marriage, as practising 
 law in Lancaster Co. In 1744, he resided in Rockhill Township, 
 Bucks Co. He afterwards owned a plantation near the Neshaminy. 
 In June, 1745, he purchased 116 acres on the Frankford Road, in 
 Philadelphia Co., since known as " Rose Hill," where he afterwards 
 resided. He was a subscriber to the Dancing Assembly held in the 
 City in 1748-9. From this date until his death, he was a leader of 
 the bar of the Province. He was the legal preceptor of John Dick- 
 insop (see Norris) and of George Read of Delaware. His admission 
 to the Council was on June 19, 1759. He d. Jany. 5, 1761, and was

 arriving in Virginia in Jany., 1755, and proceeded to recon- 
 noitre the headwaters of the Potomac. Returning, he joined 
 Braddock, and was severely wounded in the action of July 
 9, 1755. In the following January, he was made Lieut.- 
 Colouel,'^and two years later, obtained command of the 3rd 
 batt., tiOth Foot. He was actively engaged under Forbes 
 and Bouquet during the next four years, and on Feb. 9, 
 1762, was gazetted Colonel. In 1766, he was made Lieut.-

Richard Penn. 
 
 RiCHAED Penn, the Councillor, was the second son of Richard 
 Penn, one of the Proprietari'.;s, and a brother of John Penn the Coun- 
 cillor (see sketch of John Penn). He was born in England in the 
 vear 1735. He entered St. John's College, Cambridge, but left it 
 without taking his degree. The family put him to the law ; but, as 
 he lacked industry and perseverance, the study grew irksome ; he 
 despaired of mastering anything so abstruse, and desired some easier 
 means of support. His uncle John Penn had left him about £80 a 
 vear, but, relaxing into a life of pleasure, and with high notions of 
 what was due to him as a gentleman, he found this wholly inadequate. 
 He wished to go into the army, but the commission offered to him, he 
 deemed beneath his dignity. He cultivated the friendship of Sir 
 James Lowther, in the hope of obtaining a civil office, but met with 
 no success, and became estranged from him before that gentleman, by 
 marrying the Earl of Bute's daughter, rose to greater power. A new 
 scheme in regard to the array seemed to promise the opportunity for 
 his entering it with suitable rank, and he arranged to do so, but the 
 scheme was abandoned. He thus reached his twenty-seventh year 
 without having chosen a profession. In despair, he thought of turn- 
 ing his small property into an annuity, and wrote to ask his uncle 
 Thomas Penn's assistiince. His two letters are among the MSS. at 
 the Historical Society, with the draft of his uncle's reply, disapprov- 
 ing of the purchase of an annuity, upbraiding him for his idleness, 
 when he should have been studying to fit himself for office, and sug- 
 gesting that he get into the army the best way he could, or, if he 
 chose, into the Church, or, with wliat money his father could advance, 
 go as a free merchant to the East Indies. We do not know that he 
 attempted to carry out any of these plans. About two years later, 
 his brother having been appointed Lieutenant-Governor, he accom- 
 panied him to Pennsylvania. They arrived in Philadelphia on Oct. 
 30, 1763. John Penn gave Richard a seat in tlie Council, and he 
 qualified on Jany. 12, 1764. He was the first President of the Jockey 
 
426 Richard Penn. 
 
 Club, founded in November, 1766, with about eighty members, to 
 "encourage the breeding good liorses and to promote the pleasures of 
 the turf." The members subscribed upwards of 3^. each per annum, 
 and in October of each year there were races for the gentlemen's 
 purse of 100 guineas, the sweepstakes of 25 guineas, the ladies' purse 
 (for colts and fillies), and the City plate of 50^. contributed by the 
 vintners, inukeeepers, &ct. benefited by the concourse of strangers. 
 The Club lasted until the Revolution. Richard Penn was President 
 until succeeded by Andrew Allen in 1769. In the beginning of the 
 latter year, he returned to England. 
 
 After his father's death, he was appointed by his uncle and brother 
 Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylvania and the Lower Counties, and 
 arrived the second time in Philadelphia on Oct. 16, 1771. With 
 pleasing manners, and endeavoring to keep on good terms with the 
 people, he succeeded in making himself the most popular of his 
 family. All his dealings with the Provincial Assembly were very 
 , friendly. Armor, in his Lives of tlie Governors, says, "He was 
 especially attentive to the commercial interests of the Colony, and 
 during his administration a degree of unexampled prosperity pre- 
 vailed." He had a dispute with his brother concerning his father's 
 will, claiming that the manors were not appurtenant to the Proprie- 
 taryship, but were included in the private real estate directed to be 
 sold for the benefit of the residuary legatees. Thomas Penn took 
 the side of John, and the two found fault with Richard's conduct in 
 the government, but the latter defended himself, and spoke of his 
 father's promise to try to have the family agreement of 1732 dis- 
 solved as unfair to his younger children, it stijiulating that the Pro- 
 prietaryship should go to the eldest sons, charged only with certain 
 payments to the widows and younger children, which had since become 
 entirely disproportionate to the estates. 
 
 Richard Penn was superseded in the Governorship by his brother 
 John, who arrived in August, 1773. For a long time, Richard 
 did not go near him, and maintained that he had been greatly injured. 
 John indeed offered, as long as he should be Governor, to allow him 
 5001. a year, but Richard declared that he would not be his brother's 
 pensioner. There is a story that at a banquet, they sat opposite to 
 each other, on the i ight and left hand of the head of the feast, and 
 did not speak to each other during the whole entertainment. How- 
 ever, Richard was induced to execute, in May, 1774, a release of his 
 claim, and a reconciliation took place, when, on the death of Hockley, 
 
Richard Penn. 427 
 
 John Penn appointed him Naval Officer, and Richard accepted the 
 position, and called to thank him. 
 
 Richard Penn's feelings were enlisted against the oppressive acts 
 of the British Government. Both Penns longed for such concessions 
 on its part as would restore tranquillity; but Richard's situation being 
 more independent, he could afford to be more demonstrative. He 
 entertained tlie members of the Continental Congress at his house, 
 two or three dining with him each day, and George Washington being 
 among his guests. After war actually broke out, he wrote to a friend 
 that he was thankful his marriage had provided him with sufficient 
 fortune to live in England, away from the scene of trouble. He left 
 Philadelphia in the Summer of 1775, carrying with him the Second 
 Petition of Congress to the King (see sketch of John Dickinson). 
 He and Arthur Lee, Agent for Massachusetts in London, delivered 
 it to the Earl of Dartmouth, Sec. of State for the Colonies, on the 1st 
 of September. On Nov. 7, 1775, its consideration being the order 
 ot the day in the House of Lords, the Duke of Richmond, observing 
 Mr. Penn below the bar, moved that he be examined, to authenti- 
 cate it. The Earls of Sandwich and Dartmoutii, fearing this would 
 lead to a disagreeable statement of American affairs, objected to an 
 examination without previous notice as unprecedented. Other lords 
 pleaded for some information as to the general state of America, and 
 said that there could be no one better able to give it than Mr. Penn; 
 and the Duke of Richmond promised that no question should be 
 asked to which any peer should make objection. It being carried at 
 last that Penn should be examined on the 10th, he that day appeared 
 at the bar, and was sworn. His answers were : He had heard of no 
 violence or unfair proceedings in the election of members of Congress 
 they were men of character, and their proceedings conveyed the sense 
 of the provinces, which would be governed by their decisions: he 
 was acquainted with nearly all the members of the Congress, he 
 thought they did not carry on the war for independence, they had 
 taken up arms in defence of their liberties, * * it was the opinion 
 of all he had ever conversed with that America was able to resist the 
 arms of Great Britain, the spirit of resistance was quite general ; 
 when he left Pennsylvania the province had 20,000 men in arms, and 
 4500 had been since raised, he supposed there were 60,000 fit to bear 
 arms, and he believed all woidd willingly come forward, if necessary; 
 Pennsylvania raised more than enough corn to feed her people, and 
 could manufacture certain munitions of war in good quantities; the 
 
428 Richard Penn. 
 
 Colonies had great hopes of the petition which he had brought over, 
 it was styled the Olive Branch ; if it were not granted, they might 
 form foreign alliances, and, if they did, would stick by them ; most 
 thinking men thought that its refusal would be a bar to all reconcilia- 
 tion, the Colonies were inclined to acknowledge the imperial authority 
 of Great Britain, but not in taxation ; it would not be safe in the 
 Colonies to write against Congress ; &ct. Lord Lyttleton said that 
 Penn " betrayed throughout the whole of liis examination the indica- 
 tions of the strongest prejudice." 
 
 In England, he became very poor. His attorney wrote in 1780, 
 " My friend Richard Penn's distresses have almost drove him to dis- 
 traction. I understand from Mrs. Penn they are now kept from starv- 
 ing by the bounty of Mr. Barclay. For aught I know Mr. Penn long 
 ago might have been in the Fleet Prison had uot Mr. Barclay, a 
 stranger, stepped forth to his relief." After the war, his property im- 
 proved, and John Penn agreed to pay him one-fourth of whatever sums 
 were received by him as his share of the 130,000^. named in the Divest- 
 ing Act, and one-third of all sales made by him since that act was passed. 
 Jolin Penn's death in 1795 moreover vested in him a life estate in the 
 entailed property. He was member of the British Parliament from 
 1796 to 1806, representing the borough of Lancaster until 1802, and 
 afterwards the borough of Haslemere. He resided in Queen Anne 
 St. West, Co. Middlesex. He visited Philadelphia in 1808, and 
 appears in its Directory for that year as dwelling at No. 210 Chestnut 
 St., between 8th and 9th. He d. (Gent. Mag.) Richmond, Co. Sur-

 William Pe:sn, b. June 23, 1776, son of the Councillor, as above,

 attention of the government, entituled " Vindicise Brittannise : being 
 strictures on a late pamphlet by Gilbert Wakefield, B. A., late 
 Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, entitled ' The Spirit of Chris- 
 tianity Compared with the Spirit of the Times in Great Britain.' By 
 an undergraduate." Starting in life with the purpose of devoting 
 himself " to the political service of his King and Country," he fell a 
 victim to the conviviality prevalent in influential circles. The Prince 
 of Wales (afterwards George IV) called him " a Pen often cut (drunk) 
 but never mended." The Gentleman's Magazine says, "a kind, good- 
 natured man * * of transcendent abilities, an excellent classical 
 scholar * * had he improved the opportunities which came in his 
 way * * there was probably no elevation attainable which he 
 might not have reached." It is related that after a midnight carouse, 
 when he was completely oppressed with wine, he would often instead 
 of retiring to rest, wrap a wet napkin round his head, and write a 
 powerful article for the Anti-Jacobin. He wrote for the Gentleman's 
 Magazine under the signature of " the Rajah of Vaneplysia." He 
 ■was for a short time a captain in the Surrey militia. He came to 
 Pennsylvania in 1808, spending some time in Philadelphia, and in 
 1810 was in Dauphin Co., and in 1812 appears in deeds as sojourning 
 in Northampton Co., Pa. He returned to England, and in the sum- 
 mer of 1817 is styled "of John St., Adelphi, Co. Middlesex." A 
 long time imprisoned for debt, he preferred after his discharge to 
 remain in the neighbourhood of the Marshalsea, and d. (Gent. Mag.)

Thomas Lawrence. 
 
 The ancestry of this Councillor is to be sought in tliat part of Con- 
 tinental Europe which was the cradle of the Knickerbockers. The 
 records of the Old Dutch Church at New York give the arrival and 
 the marriage of his grandfather, and the baptism of the latter's chil- 
 dren, from which it would appear that the surname of Lawrence in 
 a less Anglicized form was adopted by the emigrant, because he was 
 son of a man whose Christian name was Laurens, and that Popinga 
 was the actual surname of the family, if it had any, in Holland. 
 In the list " Niewe Ledematen Aengekomen" is: "Anno 1662 den 2 
 Jul. Thomas Laurenszen Popinga;" and in the margin is: "den 1 
 Nov. 1699 vertrocken met Attestata na Esopus." Among the mar- 
 riages, we find: " Jun. 9 1663 Thomas Laurenszen j. m. (bachelor) 
 Van Groeningen en Marritje Jans wede. (widow) Van Cornells Lange- 
 velt." A preceding entry is "den 19 Januar. 1658 Cornells Van 
 Langevelt Van St. Laurens in Vlaeuderen en Marytje Jans, Van N. 
 Amstei-dam." There are the following baptisms : 
 
 Ouders (parents). Kinders (children). 
 
 1658 den 1 decern. Corn. Van Langevelt Marritje Jans Cornelis. 
 
 1661 den 30 Jan. Corn. Van Langevelt Johannes. 
 
 1663 den 14 Feb. Corn. Van Langevelt Marritie de Jong Aeltie. 
 
 1664 den 26 Mart. Thomas Laurenszen, Marritie Jans Aeltje. 
 1666 den 2.5 Jul. do. Laurens. 
 1670 den 14 Nov. do. 
 
 1673 den 13 Mart. do. Thomas. 
 
 1674 den 15 Jul. do. Thomas. 
 1679 den 9 Jul. do. Samuel. 
 1681 den 19 Nov. do. Kachei. 
 
 The surname " de Jong " in one of these entries suggests that 
 Marritje may have been a dau. of Jans Janszen de Jong, who is named 
 earlier in the same records. The eldest of the above children, "Aeltje 
 Thomas Popinga," as the record calls her, "den 1 Nov. 1699, ver- 
 trocken na de Esopus," being then married, as appears by the record : 
 " Johannes Beeckman j. m. Van N. Yorck en Aeltie Thomas j. d. Van 
 N. Yorck beyde wonende alhier getrouwt 4 Mart. 1685." The eldest 
 
Lawrence. 431 
 
 son of Thomas and Marritje Laurens was the father of the Coun- 
 cillor. The same records give his marriage: "1687, den 15 April 
 ingeschreven, Laurens Thomaszen, j. m. Van N. Yorke en Catharina 
 Lievens j. d. als boven, heyde woonende alhier, getrouwt den 11 May." 
 In a MS. which was among Chief Justice Tilghman's papers are the 
 following entries preceding the entries in the Councillor's handwriting : 
 "10 May, 1687 L: Thomas raary'd Catherin Lewis, he aged 20 years 
 and 10 months and she 17 years and 9 months. 
 
 Sep. 4 1689 Was born Thomas, Christened the 8th, [the Council- 
 lor] 
 
 20 Oct. 1692 Was born Mary, Christened the 23d [she m. 
 
 Bronson] 
 
 8 June 1696 Was born Rachell, Christened ye 14th 
 21st Jan. 1698 Was born Samuel, Christened ye 22d 
 12th May 1699 was born Cornelis, Christened ye 16th 
 9th 1st 1700 Was born Lawrens, Christened ye 10th 
 15 Sep. 1702 Dyed Catherin wife of Lawrence Thomas." 
 The Councillor records that his father died May 28, 1739. John 
 Lawrence, the Councillor's son, records that his father's sister Rachel 
 died June 4, 1760, aged 65 years, and his aunt Mary Bronson on Dec. 
 5, 1760, aged 68 years, and his uncle Samuel Lawrence on June 4, 
 1761, aged 63 years. The uncle Lawrens Lawrence married, in Ja- 
 maica, Susanna, dau. of John Lawrence of that Island, and was ances- 
 tor of J. H. Lawrence- Archer, compiler of "Monumental Inscriptions 
 in the British West Indies." 
 
 Thomas Lawrejs'ck, as he spells his name, the Councillor, was 
 born Sep. 4, 1689. and the record of his baptism in the Dutch Church 
 at New York is: "1689 den 8 Sept. [Oudei-s (parents)] Laurens Thom- 
 aszen, Catharina Lievens, [Ivinders (children)] Thomas. [Getuygen 
 (sponsors)] Thomas Laurenszen Popiuga, Gcesje Barens." He a]>pears 
 to have settled in Philadelphia about the beginning of 1720, his son 
 Tliomas being born there on April 16 of that year, and William 
 Asshetou, the Admiralty Judge, and Thomas Sober standing as the 
 godfathers, wliile Catherine was the godmother, at the christening, on 
 the 24th of that month. He entered about this time into mercantile 
 life, being subsequently mentioned by Logan as associated with him 
 in shipping, and in 1730 he became the partner of Edward Shippen, 
 who afterwards removed to Lancaster, the firm being Shippen & 
 
432 Lawrence. 
 
 Lawrence. Lawrence continued a merchant until his death, residing 
 on Water Street, and owning considerable land near the City as well 
 as farms in New Jersey. Christopher Gadsden, of South Carolina, a 
 Signer of the Declaration of Independence, was reared in his count- 
 ing-house. The Lawrence family attended Christ Church, and in 
 1722 the Councillor was its Junior Warden. In 1749, he was one 
 of the committee to draft its Charter. 
 
 Thomas Lawrence was elected a Common Councilman of the City 
 on Oct. 3, 1722, an Alderman Oct. 6, 1724, and Mayor in 1727, 
 1728, 1734, 1749, and 1753, holding that office at his death. He 
 was invited to a seat in the Provincial Council by Lieut.-Governor 
 Gordon on Apr. 20, 1727, but did not qualify until May 10, 1728. 
 In January, 1736-7, he was despatched by the Council to Lancaster 
 County in company with Ralph Assheton to take measures for the 
 expulsion of a party of Marylanders who were endeavoring to dis- 
 possess the settlers on the Susquehanna River, and returned, after an 
 absence of two weeks, reporting the organization of a posse comitatus. 
 
 In September, 1745, Lawrence was deputed one of the Commis- 
 sioners from Pennsylvania to treat with the Six Indian Nations at 
 Albany. On Jany. 1, 1747-8, Benjamin Franklin, declining the rank 
 of Lieutenant-Colonel of the Associated Regiment of Foot for Phila- 
 delphia, " recommended Mr. Lawrence, a fine person and a man of 
 influence," says the Autobiography, " who was accordingly appointed." 
 Lawrence was for some time the presiding Judge of the County 
 Court. He was a subscriber to the Dancing Assembly and a Trustee of 
 the College. He d. April 20, 1754, and was buried in his family 
 vault in Christ Church yard, the following obituary notice api>earing 
 in The Pennsylvania Gazette: "Last Sunday, after a tedious Fit of 
 Sickness, died iiere, very much lamented, Thomas Lawrence, Esq. 
 He had the Honour to be a Member of the Council of this Province, 
 was President of the Court of Common Pleas for the County of 
 Philadelphia, had been five Times elected Mayor of tiiis City, and 
 in the enjoyment of these Offices ended liis life. Characters are 
 extreamly delicate, and few or none drawn with Exactness and at 
 Length, are free of Blemish. Of this Gentleman we think it may 
 be truely said, he was an affectionate Husband, a tender Parent, a 
 kind indulgent Master, and a faithful Friend. The Funeral was 
 respectfully attended on Tuesday Evening by a great number of the 
 principal Inhabitants of the Place, who justly regret the Death of so 
 able and diligent a Magistrate as a public Loss." 
 
Lawrence. 433 
 
 His marriage is thus recorded by himself, "Ye 25th of May 1719 
 I, Thomas Lawrence was maryed to Rachell Longfield at Raritan by 
 Parson Vaughn. Present our parents. I convened John Spratt, 
 Thomas Clark, and Richard Ashfield." She was b. in 1689, d. Phila.
