It is well known that Kriegsheim, in Germany, had been their home, and by the fact of their having been among the persecuted people of that country * their identity is established, through the writings of Fox:, Penn, Rolfe, and other English Quakers who visited Holland and Germany, to convert, to comfo:1:, and to encourage the few religiously inclined people, who they knew were striving after something better than they possessed in that land of dark­ ness. There has been much wr~tten descriptive of these people, of the country whence they came, and of the trials and travails oi our ancestors before they were safely landed in the Provir.ce of Pennsylvania; the most definite, intelli­ gent, and interesting account is given in " The Settlement of Germantown," 1899, by the Hon. Samuel W. Pennypacker, and by permission I quote from that work as follows: " In addition to the emigration from Crefeld, and the association at Frank­ fort, there was a third impulse whicl1 was of moment in the settlement of Germantown. On the upper Rhine, two hours' journey from Worms, one of the most interesting and historic cities of Germany, the scene in our race legends of the events of the Nibelungenlied, later the home of Charle­ magne, and hallowed as the place where Luther uttered the memorable words, ' So hilf mich Gott, bier stehe ich. !ch kann nicl1t anders,' lies the rural village of Kriegsheim. It is situated in the midst of the beautiful and fertile Palatinate, and is forever identified, in its traditions, religion, and people, ,vith our Pennsylvania life. \Vhen I was there in 18s)o it had a population of perhaps two or three hundred people who iived upon one street.

In this obscure and distant village of simple German peasants we trace the ancestry of many of the ladies who now dance in the assemblies of Philadelphia, and many of the men who have been her mayors and judges and filled her most important municipal stations. " Quakerism obtained a foothold upon the Continent in a most remarkable manner. Some of the followers of that then aggressive sect had been banished from England to the Island of Barbadoes, and had been put upon a British vessel to be transported. England and Holland were then at war, and after the vessel had sailed out to sea it was captured by a Dutch privateer, and the useless Quakers were put on shore on the coast of Holland. As we are prettily told by the chronicler, ' They acquiesced in their poverty,' and though they had been in no repute among their own people, either for riches or endowments, ' they increased their small fortunes to a considerable bulk,' and

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.

Keithian politics no longer had any significance; the old coalition which had gathered around the fiery and independent Governor ceased to exist almost with his departure for England in 1728. Only five of his supporters were returned to the legislature in 1729, and by the following year but three remained.2 The issues which created the controversies during the 1720's were already passe. The old leadership either died off, or gave up its positions of power, and in turn was supplanted during the next decade by a group of talented and younger men—Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Norris II, Israel Pemberton, Jr., William Allen, and James Hamilton.3 While party organization may have been more advanced in Penn- sylvania than in any other colony, it still depended upon personal relationships with control in the hands of a few wealthy families.

Coates and Reynell Family Papers, 1677-1930 (bulk 1730-1850) 66 boxes, 147 vols., 40 lin. feet Collection 140 Abstract Mary Coates (1707-1773) and her husband John Reynell (1708-1784) presided over a successful dynasty of Quaker professionals and philanthropists, despite having no biological children who lived to adulthood. After the death of Mary’s brother Samuel in 1748, John Reynell took on responsibility for her three orphaned nephews, Thomas, Josiah, and Samuel Jr. Little Samuel (1711-1748) eventually succeeded his “Uncle Reynell” as the head of a prosperous international trade business, dealing in American lumber, Caribbean sugar, and European manufactured goods. A contemporary of Benjamin Franklin, Samuel was among the first shareholders of the Library Company of Philadelphia. His son, Benjamin H. Coates, was a poet and a physician, a founder of the North American Medical and Surgical Journal and an attending physician at several charitable institutions in Philadelphia. Josiah established his own shipping business with his friend Edward Randolph, and fathered a vigorous family. His son George Morrison Coates also became a merchant, specializing in hardware. George’s two unmarried daughters, Beulah and Mary, distinguished themselves as pillars of women’s charitable organizations in the mid-nineteenth century.

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.

  • Introduction: the 1737 Accounts Provide a Series of Glimpses Into BF's Day-To-Day Family Life
    Franklin’s Accounts, 1737, Calendar 7. 1 Introduction: The 1737 accounts provide a series of glimpses into BF’s day-to-day family life. On one occasion (the only one for which we have any evidence), BF spoke sharply to Deborah concerning her careless bookeeping. Since the most expensive paper cost several times more than the cheapest, it was important to record either the price or the kind of paper. Deborah sold a quire of paper to the schoolteacher and poet William Satterthwaite on 15 Aug and did not record or remember what kind. After Franklin spoke to her, Deborah, in frustration, exasperation, and chagrin, recorded his words or the gist of them in the William Satterthwaite entry: “a Quier of paper that my Carles Wife for got to set down and now the carles thing donte now the prise sow I muste truste to you.” If she recorded the words exactly, BF may have spoken to Satterthwaite in her presence. That possibility, however, seems unlikely. I suspect that an irritated BF told her that he would have to ask Satterthwaite what kind of paper. One wonders if he had said anything to her earlier about the following minor charge: “Reseved of Ms. Benet 2 parchment that wass frows and shee has a pound of buter and 6 pens in money, 1.6., and sum flower but I dont now [know] what it cums to” (14 Feb). Franklin’s brother James died in 1735, and by 1737 BF was giving his sister-in-law Ann Franklin free supplies and imprints (21 and 28 May), for he did not bother to enter the amount.

Rather, they were disaffected from both sides in the imperial dispute, preferring, when possible, to avoid engagement with the Revolution altogether. The British Occupation of Philadelphia in 1777 and 1778 laid bare the extent of this popular disengagement and disinterest, as well as the dire lengths to which the Patriots would go to maintain the appearance of popular unity. Driven by a republican ideology that relied on popular consent in order to legitimate their new governments, American Patriots grew increasingly hostile, intolerant, and coercive toward those who refused to express their support for independence. By eliminating the revolutionaries’ monopoly on military force in the region, the occupation triggered a crisis for the Patriots as they saw popular support evaporate. The result was a vicious cycle of increasing alienation as the revolutionaries embraced ever more brutal measures in attempts to secure the political acquiescence and material assistance of an increasingly disaffected population. The British withdrawal in 1778, by abandoning the region’s few true loyalists and leaving many convinced that American Independence was now inevitable, shattered what little loyalism remained in the region and left the revolutionaries secure in their control of the state.
