Series 24. Chew Estate Office, 1848-1964, undated, (Boxes 777-799)

The records of the Chew Estate Office provide a detailed look at the financial dealings of Elizabeth Brown Chew (b.1863-d.1958). The estate office managed Elizabeth’s accounts during her later years, and maintained her financial records, as well as many inherited records from the Chew, Brown, and Alston families. The office also managed the Chew and Brown family estates, and secured records from Chew family members who acted as agents of the estates, including Oswald and , and Lowry Chew Stephenson.

The bulk of the records in the series pertain to the personal accounts of Elizabeth Chew, the Cliveden estate, stock profits, real estate transactions, taxes, and the estates of Chew and Brown families for the period 1920 to 1960. Original file names were retained when possible.

The account records of Elizabeth Chew detail her expenditures on groceries, flowers, household goods, gifts, and magazine subscriptions in the 1950s. Elizabeth’s munificent donations to children’s aid organizations, hospitals, veterans’ organizations, religious institutions, and historical societies are also well documented. Elizabeth’s tax records, as well as her stock earning statements, are copiously represented in the series. Several companies and banks managed Elizabeth’s and the Chew family assets, but one, the Girard Trust Bank, later named the Girard Trust Corn Exchange Bank, appeared to play a key role in the management of the Chew’s finances. Accordingly, much of the correspondence related to Chew-owned stocks was generated by the Girard Trust Bank. Girard Trust Bank checkbooks, containing checks signed by Oswald Chew, John Thompson Chew, and Lowry Chew Stephenson, are included in this series as they appear to pertain to the Chew-Brown Estate, rather than the personal accounts of any individual. Oswald Chew’s personal checkbooks can be found in Series XV.

In addition, the series contains a plethora of records pertaining to property sales and leases for lots near the Cliveden estate, as well as Chew properties in , Villa Nova, Radnor, and Beaver County, ; Camden and Silver Lake, New Jersey; Towson and Tacoma, ; and Dover, New Hampshire. Also included in this series are records relating to Cliveden property, including maintenance bills, household inventories, and employee payment and tax files. The folder, ―Cliveden and Chew family notes,‖ contains histories of Benjamin Chew, including 19th-century notes on Chew family history. Only a small number of records for the Brown family’s Radnor home are present in the series.

Incorporation documents, tax and revenue records, correspondence, and meeting minutes for the Chew-owned Gloucester Land Company are well represented in this series. In addition, a smaller number of records for other Chew-owned businesses, such as the Manufacturer’s Land and Improvement Company and the Radnor Realty Company, are included.

The series also contains estate records and wills for various Chew, Brown, Alston, and Johnson family members, including Anna S.P.C. Alston; David S., Elizabeth J., Joseph J., and Martha Brown; as well as Benjamin, Charles R., David S.B., Elizabeth, Henry, Mary J.B., Oswald, Samuel, and Samuel, Jr. Chew.

Series 25. Maps and Surveys, 1683-1961, undated, (Boxes 800-804)

This series contains forty-six flat files, four boxes, and 18 oversize rolled items, [some of which are available as digital files, upon request.] The materials in this series represent a wide range of cartographic types, from eighteenth century manuscript and engraved surveys and maps to twentieth century printed atlases and blueprints. Some of the maps were purchased from merchants in London; other manuscript surveys were made to document land transactions in which the Chews may have had a personal or legal interest. A number of the maps relate to the construction of roads, canals, and rail road routes. There are many prominent surveyors and cartographers represented in this collection, including Nicholas Scull, George Heap, Reading Howell, John Churchman, Aaron Arrowsmith, John Reed, Charles de Krafft, John Hills, Thomas Holme, John Melish, and Griffiths Morgan Hopkins. The geographic scope of these maps is also broad. There are surveys of sections of Philadelphia, charts of waterways, maps of cities in the United States and abroad, and maps of continents. Other maps, surveys and plans are located throughout the collection; a large portion of these materials may be found in Series 11 (Brown and Johnson Families), Series 13 (David S. Brown and Co.), and Series 19 (Pennsylvania Land Papers).

Series 26. Ephemera and printed material, 1732-1977, undated, (Boxes 805-816; 846- 848)

This series consists of a motley assortment of items, some of which may have been collected by Cliveden staff members to be displayed at the home. Material has been arranged alphabetically by subject or title, and there are several significant groups, which include booklets and pamphlets, catalogs, newspapers, and serials. Beyond these groups, there are broadsides and posters, examples of Continental currency, clippings, trade cards, calling cards, handbills, maps, menus, programs, novels, and sheet music.

Among the booklets and pamphlets, researchers will find an array of speeches, most given by politicians and lawyers, such as an address on the promotion of agriculture given by , L.L.D. before the Philadelphia Society (1820) and a speech delivered before the U. S. Senate by Reprehensive John Caldwell Calhoun of South Carolina on the ―Three Million [Dollar] Bill‖ (1847). There are also several folders of legal booklets that consist of published opinions, judgments, and appeals from scattered court cases dating from the 1800s. Religious pamphlets comprise another significant group, and consist mostly of writings on spiritual guidance and scriptural studies. In addition to these groups, there are also several folders of miscellaneous pamphlets; booklets published in French, German, and Spanish; and a few items highlighting the history of Germantown.

Most of the catalogs in this series date from the 1960s and are from the Parke-Bernet Galleries in New York City. It is unclear whether these were collected by Cliveden staff members or the Chew family, but several of them contain annotations concerning auction items relating to the Chews. There are also catalogs from various exhibitions; school, including Princeton University; and other art, book, and map auctions.

Rounding out the series is a large group of serials that range from formal journals to popular magazines, such as Life. The magazines from Philadelphia and several journals, such as The Magazine of American History, were collected specifically for their articles on the Chews or Germantown; however, most of the material bears no relation to the family or the house. At the end of the series are three boxes of newspapers that span in date from the late 1700s through the mid-twentieth century, most of which were published in New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, but there are also international publications represented here. In addition to magazines, newspapers and journals, there are small selections of almanacs, miscellaneous newsletters, and newspaper supplements.

Series 27. Family Genealogy, 1718-1979, undated, (Boxes 817-819)

This series consists primarily of records the Chews had reproduced in the 1800s for family genealogical reference. Most of these documents are copies of original family trees, birth, death, and marriage certificates, correspondence, wills, significant speeches and land grants, which dated from the late sixteenth through mid-eighteenth centuries. In addition to the reproductions, there are original family trees, several printed genealogical texts, notes and correspondence, as well as Samuel Chew and Mary Galloway’s original marriage certificate. Aside from documents pertaining to the Chew family, there are also family trees and other materials related to the Morris, Frisby, Lloyd, and Cadwalader families.

Series 28. Photographs, 1860-1986, undated, (Boxes 820-835)

A. People The bulk of the Chew family photographs are individual portrait photographs taken in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many of these are cabinet cards or other small card photograph formats. A smaller number of the photographs show family groups and gatherings, and group photographs of clubs or associations. There are also copy prints of drawings and oil portraits of a number of the Chew family members. Many of the oil portraits are hanging at Cliveden; some of them can be seen in situ in the photographs of Cliveden’s interior which form part of the Architecture subseries. In addition to the photographs of Chew family members, this subseries also includes images of a number of friends and associates of the Chews.

Among the individual portraits, Chew family members who are particularly well represented here are Samuel Chew (1832 - 1887), Mary Johnson Brown Chew (1839-1927), Anne Sophia Penn Chew Alston (1862 - 1930), Elizabeth Brown Chew (1863-1958), David Sands Brown Chew (1866 - 1933), Samuel Chew (1871 - 1919), Benjamin Chew (1878-1938), Oswald Chew (1880 - 1950), Mary Evelyn Chew Stephenson Windsor (d.1949), Samuel Chew (1915 - 1989), and Mary Gabriela Rebecca Cecilia ("Nelly") de Potestad Tilghman.

The photographs are arranged into three sections: portraits of individuals; Chew family group photographs; and photographs of unidentified subjects.

B. Architecture These photographs provide visual documentation of the interior and exterior of Cliveden, the Chew family home located in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. Many of the exterior photographs feature the main façade of Cliveden; among these are images from the nineteenth century showing the doors and steps damaged during the . Other exterior photographs show the kitchen and laundry dependencies, the carriage house, the front gates, and the pool area. The photographs of the buildings include a series documenting the damage to the carriage house from a fire in 1970. Interior photographs document the architectural detail for which the house is noted, as well as its décor, furniture, and portraits of Chew family members. (The family photographs in the People subseries also include copy prints of many of the oil portraits of Chew family members). This subseries also includes copy prints of charcoal drawings of the parlor created by Joseph Pennell.

There are a number of photographic and lithographic postcards featuring Cliveden. Additionally there are stereoscopic photographs of both the interior and exterior of the house, and photographs of architectural drawings and plans of the house. Aside from the extensive visual documentation of Cliveden, the architectural photographs also include images of other Chew family residences, houses in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, and lands in New Jersey owned by the Chew and Brown families. Finally, this subseries includes photographs of Chew family carriages, views probably taken by family members during vacations to sites in the United States and Europe, as well as commercially produced stereopticon cards of historical sites.

Series 29. Miscellaneous, 1700-circa 1950, undated, (Boxes 836-845)

At eight boxes and one flat file, this small series contains a variety of records, from miscellaneous accounts and drawings to legal papers, writings, and recipes. There are two folders of alphabetically-arranged correspondence, highlights of which include a letter dated 24 January 1820 from John Quincy Adams to William D. Lewis, Esq. in which Adams discusses Levitt Harris, U. S. Consul at St. Petersburg, Russia; letters concerning lands in Virginia from George Chambers of Chambersburg to George Thompson, a Philadelphia merchant; and a letter of recommendation for one Mary Church dated May 1733/4 from Andrew Pitt to . There is an additional folder of letters of which the correspondents are unknown or unidentified.

In this series are also several folders of clippings, most of which were removed from a severely mold-damaged scrapbook. The clippings have been housed in eleven folders in the order in which they were found. The clippings appear to be from mostly local newspapers (i.e. the Ledger and Transcript, the Philadelphia Press, the Evening Bulletin) and date from 1860s. There is no apparent order to the clippings in each folder; there are scattered war stories, recipes and instructions, bank statements, historical sketches, and passenger ship lists.

Box 837, folder 7 contains handwritten transcriptions of letters and a journal from Major John André, a British offer and spy during the Revolutionary War. The letters, dated 1769 to 1770 and housed as a large booklet, are identified as having been ―written by Major André at the age of eighteen to his friend Miss Seward.‖ The transcriber is unknown, although the name ―Clapton‖ is listed at the beginning of the booklet. In the same folder is a transcription in French of a journal entitled ―Journal du Sénégal, en 1779. On this booklet is a sticker labeled ―Major André facsimiles,‖ although the connection between this journal and Major André is unclear.

Other items in this series include a portion of an encyclopedia, possibly from the late 1700s; a collection of botanical samples; several folders of photocopies; an anonymous address book; a book of spiritual writings; two account books attributed to a James Angelo; and a soft-cover book that contains large fabric or wallpaper samples.
