GENEALOGY FISHER FAMILY [682 to 1896 ANNA WHARTON SMITH PHILADELPHIA 1 896 PREFACE. In publishing the genealogy of the Fisher family, I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the late Thomas Gilpin, from whose works on this subject I have freely copied. I also wish to express my great appreciation of the many kindnesses which have been shown me by different j members of the family, in furnishing records and other • information, without which it would have been quite im- possible to attain even the present degree of complete- ' ness. Errata would seem to be almost inevitable in the printing of genealogies, involving, as these do, so many details of names and dates. It is hoped that those which appear in the present work will cause only slight inconvenience. ERRATA. Page 35, twentieth line from bottom, read Elizabeth (Purnell) Wright.

Among the names of the emigrants who accompanied William Penn on his first voyage to his new colony is 1 found that of John Fisher , the ancestor of a large family in America. His birthplace and home in England are not certainly known. There has always been a tradition in the family that he came from Clitheroe, Lancashire, but recent search in the copies of the Friends' Records of Lancashire and York- shire, at Devonshire House, London, shows no mention of his birth or marriage. He was a Friend at the time of his emigration, but it seems probable that he may have joined this religious society shortly before leaving England, and therefore his name does not appear in their records. The year of his marriage is not known, and only the Christian name of his wife, Margaret, has been handed down. From the will of their son, Thomas Fisher, a copy of which will be found on page 17, it seems likely that her family name was Hindle. In it property is conveyed which has come to the testator from his " uncle John Hindle the son of Bryan Hindle of Cletheroh." The aforesaid records in England have been examined for the birth of Margaret Hindle, or her marriage to John Fisher, without success. The indexes to wills at Chester, and also London, have like- 2 9 10 GENEALOGY OF THE FISHER FAMILY. wise been searched for both the names of Fisher and Hindle, and the Guild Rolls of Preston, but no information has come to light. John Fisher and Margaret, his wife, were both passengers on the " Welcome," and they probably brought with them at least the two oldest of their six children. From a deed in the Eecorder's office at Philadelphia (Book E, No. 2, page 12), dated the 19th day of the 7th month, 1683, it appears that John Fisher purchased, while in England, five hundred acres of land within the city of Philadelphia. The autumn was far advanced when they landed, and as was the case with many others of the emigrants, they prob- ably spent their first winter in a house or cave in the banks of the Delaware. Unaccustomed to and unprepared for so rigorous a climate as they found, they suffered much, and, tradition says, were obliged to make use of the sails of the vessels, and even of the cordage, to shelter themselves from the cold. Certain it is that John Fisher at one time owned one of these caves, from a deed recorded in Book E, ~No. 1, page 226. In it Margaret Fisher, widow of John Fisher, and Thomas Fisher, her son, executors of the last will of John Fisher, convey to Samuel Atkins, of the town of Philadel- phia, glover, " for the Love, favour and Affection which they have and bear" toward him, a certain house or cave in the bank of the river Delaware, which he, the said John Fisher, lately bought from Thomas "Wynne, for the re- mainder of the term of three years, from 2d September, 1684, and longer if the Governor shall please. John Fisher owned other property in Philadelphia, as is shown by the two following deeds. The first (Book E, No. 1, page 224) is dated 14th April, 1686, in which Margaret Fisher aud Thomas Fisher, execu- tors of the last will of John Fisher, sell to Samuel Atkins, for ten pounds, a lot on the north side of Walnut Street, forty feet front by two hundred and fifty feet deep, with a house on it of sixteen feet, and two bedsteads in the same. It was conveyed 12th May, 1685, to John Fisher, by Samuel — FIRST GENERATION. H Satchell, in consideration of six pounds. From this deed it is evident that John Fisher was living on the 12th May, 1685, and that he had died before the 14th April, 1686. In the second (Book E, jSTo. 2, page 107), Margaret Fisher, relict of John Fisher, late of the town and county of Phila- delphia, in the Province of Pennsylvania, in America, glazier, deceased, and their son Thomas Fisher, both ex- ecutors of the last will of the said John Fisher, deceased, by indenture dated the 26th day of the 3d month, 1688, con- vey to Charles Pickering, of the said towu, in consideration of forty-five pounds, a certain piece of land containing three hundred acres, situate in the county of , held by a patent dated 24th day of the 3d month, 1688 ; also three lots situate on the north side of Walnut Street, which were sold to John Fisher, 10th May, 1683, by E. Cartlidge. John Fisher was apparently a glazier by trade, but it is probable that he was interested in ship-buikling also. There is a tradition that he brought over with him from England forty artisans, among whom were some ship-builders. It is said that John Fisher thought the situation chosen by William Penn for Philadelphia was so far from the mouth of the Delaware as to be disadvantageous to commerce, and that this was his reason for buying laud in Sussex County, near Cape Henlopen, now in the State of Delaware. In the office of the Recorder of Deeds at Georgetown, Delaware, are found these two memoranda of sales of land to John Fisher, in 1685 : " Henry Stretcher acknowledged in Open Court to the sale of four hundred acres of land called Millbunie on the east side of Mill Creek from them their heirs Executors and administrators to John Fisher and Richard Core them their heirs Executors and Administrators and assigns for- ever, according to the contents of an Indenture of sale given for the same, bearing date the 10th day of this present month.

Together, they are a representative sampling of the range of manuscript collections at HSP, but scholars are urged to pursue fruitful lines of inquiry to locate and use the scores of additional materials in each area that is surveyed here. There are numerous helpful unprinted guides at HSP that index or describe large collections. Some of these are listed below, especially when they point in numerous directions for research. In addition, the HSP has a printed Guide to the Manuscript Collections of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP: Philadelphia, 1991), which includes an index of proper names; it is not especially helpful for searching specific topics, item names, of subject areas. In addition, entries in the Guide are frequently too brief to explain the richness of many collections. Finally, although the on-line guide to the manuscript collections is generally a reproduction of the Guide, it is at present being updated, corrected, and expanded. This survey does not contain a separate section on land acquisition, surveying, usage, conveyance, or disputes, but there is much information about these subjects in the individual collections reviewed below.

    HIST Remembers James J. Bohning Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exposition played softly barely breaking the quiet of the office. It had been selected from two ranks of well-indexed classical music CDs, housed in a drawer at the left of his desk. It was one of Jim’s favorites, but a backup selection of Bach’s six Brandenburg Concertos was poised to replace it in the disk drive. A battered wooden walking cane hung from the top pull handle of the adjacent file cabinet. A rusty five-inch mailing tube containing 50 mg of white crystalline disodium squarate stood balanced on the top shelf. Its red and white mailing label proclaimed it was an August 1980 gift synthesized by Professor Robert West of the University of Wisconsin. Long ago Jim had thought of incorp- orating the unusual substance in a p-chem experiment, but it now sat awaiting an uncertain future. Today’s mail had brought in a small cardboard box with bubble wrap packing -- Jim’s latest EBay purchase: an ancient handsome brass pecan nut cracker intended for addition to his substantial collection of that artifact type. His window sill sported a 4 x 12” Plexiglas case on a polished oak base protecting an inscribed maroon-colored Lionel caboose. Precision white lettering down the length of the car proclaimed not only that it was an authentic Lehigh Valley Railroad model but also that it was a special departure gift from his friends on the National Historic Chemical Landmarks Committee for Jim’s 15 years of service (1992-2007).

THE KENTUCKY GILPINS By GEORGE GILPIN PERKINS HIS genealogical study of the Gilpin families, covering the period of twenty generations prior to the Gil­ pin emigration to Kentucky, is gathered solely, so far as the simple line of descent goes, from an elaborate parchment pedi­ gree chart taken from the papers of Joshua Gilpin, Esquire, by his brother, Thomas Gilpin, Philadelphia, March, 1845, and in part, textu­ ally, from the work: by Dr. Joseph Elliott Gilpin, Baltimore, 1897, whose father and the Kentucky emigrants were brothers. His authority was a Genealogical Chart accompanying a manuscript published 1879 by the Cumberland and West­ moreland Antiquarian and Archreological Society of England entitled "Memoirs of Dr. Richard Gilpin of Scaleby Castle in Cumberland, written in the year 1791 by the Rev. William Gilpin, Vicar of Boldre, together with an account of the author by himself; and a pedigree of the Gilpin family." [ 5 ] T H E KENTUCKY GILPINS Richard de Gylpyn, the first of the name of whom there is authentic knowledge, was a scholar. He gave the family history a vigorous beginning, by becoming the Secretary and Adviser of the Baron of Kendal, who was unlearned, as were many in that day of superstition and igno­ rance, and accompanying him to Runnemede, where the Barons of England, after previous long parleys with the unscrupulous and tyrannical King John, forced him to grant to his oppressed people Magna Charta and, themselves, voluntarily lifted from their dependants many feudal op­ pressions.

  • The Wharton-Fitler House
    The Wharton-Fitler House A history of 407 Bank Avenue, Riverton, New Jersey Prepared by Roger T. Prichard for the Historical Society of Riverton, rev. November 30, 2019 © Historical Society of Riverton 407 Bank Avenue in 2019 photo by Roger Prichard This house is one of the ten riverbank villas which the founders of Riverton commissioned from architect Samuel Sloan, built during the spring and summer of 1851, the first year of Riverton’s existence. It looks quite different today than when built, due to an expansion in the 1880s. Two early owners, Rodman Wharton and Edwin Fitler, Jr., were from families of great influence in many parts of American life. Each had a relative who was a mayor of the City of Philadelphia. Page 1 of 76 The first owner of this villa was Philadelphian Rodman Wharton, the youngest of those town founders at age 31 and, tragically, the first to die. Rodman Wharton was the scion of several notable Philadelphia Quaker families with histories in America dating to the 1600s. Tragically, Rodman Wharton’s life here was brief. He died in this house at the age of 34 on July 20, 1854, a victim of the cholera epidemic which swept Philadelphia that summer. After his death, the house changed hands several times until it was purchased in 1882 by Edwin, Jr. and Nannie Fitler. Edwin was the son of Philadelphia’s popular mayor of the same name who managed the family’s successful rope and cordage works in Bridesburg. The Fitlers immediately enlarged and modernized the house, transforming its simpler 1851 Quaker appearance to a fashionable style today known as Queen Anne.

    Rachel Delphia Final Paper - ARTH 667-011 Prof. Bernie Herman December l 0, 2004 Separated Spaces, Multiple Uses: Exploring Family Living and Tenancy in the Hugh Mercer House, 1803-1 830 I 26 Harmony Street New Castle, Delaware When New Castle, Delaware blacksmith Hugh Mercer and his wife Elizabeth broke ground on what must have been their dream house in I 803, they probably never imagined that they had less than seven years to enjoy their new residence. In truth, Elizabeth may not have even lived to see the house completed, as she appears to have died sometime during 1803. The joy Hugh Mercer felt upon seeing his grand house completed must have been tainted wi th the sadness of his wife's passing. Nevertheless, Mercer certainly celebrated hi s new brick home- for few men of his status and occupation enjoyed such accomplishment in federal America. According to historian Donna Rilling, the median artisanal household in turn-of-the-century Philadelphia occupied a frame or bri ck home with a total area of less than 648 square feet. 1 In his New Castle, Delaware town house, Mercer had more than two thirds that amount of space per floor.2 Mercer's two-and-a-half-story, three-bay brick dwelling sat on a prime corner lot at the intersection of Second and Harmony streets. Though it lacked the exquisite composition and punch and gouge ornament of the significantly-larger houses built by New Castilians George Re::id Il and Nicholas van Dyke Jr. only a few years before, 126 Harmony Street was well built 1 Donna Rilling, Making Houses: Crofting Capitalism: Builders in Philadelphia 1790-1850 (Philadelphia: Uni versity of Pennsylvania Press, 2001 ): 13.

  • Lahor and Technology in the Book Trades
    The Quest for Autonomy and Discipline: Lahor and Technology in the Book Trades WILLIAM S. PRETZER JLHERE IS MUCH to be learned about the history of labor and technology in the book trades. There is also much to be learned/rom the history of labor and technology in the book trades. Understanding the production of printed goods and their components will not only help us understand the changing nature of demand, distribution, circulation, and impact of print, but these investigations will also increase our knowledge of general aspects of the American Industrial Revolution. Indeed, the history of the book trades should be seen as part of the larger history of American labor and technology. Much of this larger history is composed of the evolving character of conflict and conciliation in the workplace. And while the role of the plebeian classes as participants in the cul- ture of the printed word is a topic well worth exploring, the focus here is on the role of the producers of printed culture. Continuing through the third quarter of the nineteenth century, two themes stand out in this history. First is the quest for autonomy pursued by master artisans and capitalist employers in terms of their control over raw materials, product markets. This is a revised version of a paper presented at a needs-and-opportunities conference on the history of the book in American culture held at the American Antiquarian Society, November 1-3, 1984. I am grateful to Rollo G. Silver and Steven Rosswurm for their comments and to Kevin S. Baldwin for his research assistance.
