  • An Historical Account of the Old State House of Pennsylvania Now
    Independence Hall, 1876. FRONT VIEW. AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT UK THE OLD STATE HOUSE OF PENNSYLVANIA NOW KNOWN AS THE HALL OF INDEPENDENCE « BY / FRANK M ETTING WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS BOSTON JAMES R. OSGOOD AND COMPANY 1876 Copyright, 1874, By FRANK M ETTING KIVERSIDE, CAMBRIDGE: •EREOTYPED AND PRINTED BY H. O. HOUGHTON AND COMPANY. PREFACE In the work that I had " found for my hand to do," it became necessary to examine carefully into the details of the building of the State House of Pennsylvania ; much that surprised me came to light not only in the circumstances of its erection but in its subsequent C history. Instead of Dr. Kearsley, to whom the credit had been as- cribed, I discovered that its Architect and actual Builder was one of the greatest men ever fostered by Pennsylvania ; and that every important movement, from the very inception of the efforts of the colonists to assert their constitutional liberty, first assumed shape either within this building or under the shadow of its walls. A friendly suggestion thrown out induced me to extend still further my investigations, with a view of preserving the information in print in some accessible form. This desire was enhanced by the hope that the general public would ultimately share in the interest which every brick of this old build- ing possesses for me, and thus be inclined to lend each his individual aid towards its preservation, and to insure its proper custodianship for all time. The desultory way in which, from causes unnecessary to be detailed, my memoranda have been thrown together, must leave its impress, and I cannot expect to be exempt from inaccuracies ; but having done my best without fee or reward, present or prospective, I have no apologies to make to the public for claiming their notice.

  • Benjamin Chew Receipt Book
    BENJAMIN CHEW'S RECEIPT BOOK 1770 - 1809 Nancy E. Richards Chief Researcher Cliveden Introduction: The life and times of Benjamin Chew (1722-1810) merit serious study on several levels. As one of the leading jurists of his day, Chew enjoyed considerable political prestige. A protégé of the Penn family, Chew represented their interests in a variety of areas including the boundary disputes with Maryland (1751) and with Connecticut (1754) and in negotiations with the Pennsylvania legislature over the family land holdings. The same high regard for his legal acumen that led to Chew's appointment as Chief Justice of the Province of Pennsylvania just before the Revolution would occasion his reappointment to the bench in the Federal era as President of the High Court of Errors and Appeals. Chew's high status in Philadelphia society was based on his political position, his personal wealth, and advantageous marriages first to Mary Galloway of Maryland and later to Elizabeth Oswald, niece of wealthy Philadelphia merchant Joseph Turner. Chew's life style generally seems to have been similar to that of other upper class Philadelphians. He had an elegant residence in the city and a summer house in Germantown. Besides several rental properties in Philadelphia, he owned large blocks of land in western Pennsylvania as well as inherited property in Delaware and Maryland. Chew also controlled property in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania that his second wife inherited. Like many of their eighteenth and nineteenth century contemporaries the Chew family had a penchant for record keeping. One factor that sets them apart is the survival of so many of these records.

Genealogy is an account or history of the descendants of a person ur family from an an_cestor. or an enumeration of ancestors and their descendants in natural order of succession. The system employed in compiling this volume is thought to he the most approved now in use, and may be readily understood by a little study. The families are numbered in generations. and their children. of both sexes. are numbered in succession of birth. with date of death in the father's family and as married in successive years in the same order as their single children are recorded. Thus, Jacoh Howell. son of John Ho,,·ell. is the second generation in this record. and so on through each generation.

  • Biographical Sketch of Joseph Fox. 175 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF
    Biographical Sketch of Joseph Fox. 175 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF JOSEPH FOX, ESQ., OF PHILADELPHIA. BY ANNE H. ORESSON. Six years after Charles the Second had, under the Great Seal of England, given by his Letters Patent to William Penn the " Province of Pennsylvania with divers great powers and Jurisdiction for the well Government thereof," and four years after the " Welcome " had brought Penn on his first visit to his infant colony, the ship "Desire" from Plymouth, England, cast anchor in the river Delaware bring- ing to the rapidly growing town of Philadelphia a company of emigrants known as the Plymouth Friends. Among them were Francis Rawle and his son of the same name, with six servants, Nicholas Pearce with two servants, James Fox with his family and eight servants, and John Shellson with his wife and four servants. Of those here classed as servants to the other passengers were John, Richard, and Justinian Fox. According to the custom of the day, these had no doubt bound themselves to serve for a period of time of sufficient length to pay for the passage money advanced for them, by those in better cir- cumstances than themselves. Many emigrants not rich in this world's goods brought relatives with them in this way. On March 13, 1685/6, before leaving England, Fox and Rawle had, for themselves and their associates, purchased five thousand acres of land of William Penn. It was the purpose of these emigrants to make their settlement an industrial one. James Claypoole and Robert Turner, Penn's commissioners, wrote to Thomas Holme, the surveyor general: At the request of James Fox, Francis Rawle, Nicholas Pearce and Richard 4Grove, in behalf of themselves and other Friends of Plymouth, joynt purchasers with them of five thousand acres of land, that we would 176 Biographical Shetch of Joseph Fox.
