Moorhead, whose great ability, profound learning, high ideals and en- gaging personality have long made him a, distinguish- ed ornament to the Westmoreland Bar, a worthy exemplar to its members and the object of their high regard, and To the Honorable John B. Head, late an honored Judge of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, to whom like attributes are ascribed and like tribute is due; to -these joint preceptors, their law student of the long ago, the author of these memoirs, in token of his obligation and affection, ventures to dedicate this volume. I 3 PREFACE These Memoirs had their origin in the request of Mr. E. Arthur Sweeny, editor of the "Morning Re- view", of Greensburg, to the, writer to prepare some character sketches of the deceased members of the Bench and Bar of Westmoreland County, the serial publication of which was to become a feature of that enterprising journal. They soon passed the stage of experiment, and the conception of fragmentary his- tory, and, in some degree, have become comprehen- sive of more than a century of the legal annals of the county.

C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.

    History Background Information

    History Background Information Cumberland County has a rich history that continues to contribute to the heritage and identity of the county today. Events in the past have shaped the county as it has evolved over time. It is important to understand and appreciate the past in order to plan for the future. Introduction Historic landmarks and landscapes are important to the sense of place and history integral to the identity of communities. Preserving the physical fabric can involve many facets such as recognizing and protecting a single structure, an entire district, or the cultural landscape of a region. An advisory committee was formed to provide input and guidance for the development of this chapter. The committee included municipal representatives, county and municipal historical societies, and the Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau. The development of this chapter was supported by a grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. The Earliest Native Americans The first human inhabitants of the region arrived between 12 and 18 thousand years ago.1 We know very little about them except they were probably related to the Algonquian tribes that settled north of Pennsylvania. These early peoples were most likely nomadic hunters living in temporary or base camps. No villages of these ancient tribes have been found in Cumberland County, but many artifacts have been discovered to verify they populated the region. Artifacts found in the Cumberland Valley include notched arrow and spear points and grooved hatchets and axes of Algonquian origin.2 Approximately 3,000 years ago these native peoples began to cultivate crops, which included Indian corn or maize.

    Pennsylvania Courts, the Abolition Act, and Negro Rights

    PENNSYLVANIA COURTS, THE ABOLITION ACT, AND NEGRO RIGHTS By STANLEY I. KUTLER* T HE beginning of the end for slavery in Pennsylvania came in 1780 with the passage of an "Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery. l Born of the Quakers' long-standing hostility to slavery, the libertarian doctrines of the American Revolution, and economic reasons, the act provided that no child born thereafter should be a slave, except that a Negro or mulatto child born to a slave mother would be a servant until twenty-eight years of age. Further, the act required the master to register and record his name. occupation, place of residence, and the name, age, and sex of his slave. Slave owners were given until November 1, 1780, to comply with these provisions or suffer forfeiture of the slave.2 This remarkable document was the first statutory action against slavery in the United States. Slave masters, however, soon developed some subtle methods of circumventing the law. They would, for example, sell their slaves into other states or send pregnant female slaves into a slave state so that the child would not be born into freedom.' Conse- quently, in 1788 the legislature amended and clarified the original act with more elaborate restrictions on slavery. The births of slave children now were to be registered, pregnant female slaves "ADr. Kutler, formerly of the Pennsylvania State University, is now as- sistant professor of history at San Diego State College, California.
