Jefferson Medical College The !.'======Board of= = = =====!J Trustees Jefferson's Trustees: An Indispensable Asset In reviewing the history of Jefferson's Board of Trustees from its inception, one is struck by the quality and d iversity of its composition.

Pennsylvania, obtained an augmentation of itsCharter, permitting them to appoint Additional Trustees in the City of Philadelphia and authorizing any jud ge of the Supreme or District Court to ad minister the oath of office.

(Fig. 1) was born on February 26, 1792, in Clonmel, Gloucester, New Jersey. Daniel and Jane Sutherland , his parents, were Scottish immigra nts. After attending public schools he graduated from the Med ical Schoo l of the University of Pennsyl­ va nia in 1812. Like his later fellow Tru stee, Briga ­ dierGenera l William Duncan, he served in the War of 1812 and became a Lieutenant Colonel of Rifles Fig. 1. Jod B. SutMrbnd. M.D., Esq.

In 1816 he lost the vote and returned to medical practice. Having been ma rried the previous year and needing to aug me nt his income, he served as Lazaretto Phy­ sician at the port of Philad elphia. This entailed examina tion of entering ships for infectious dis­ eases among the sailors and putting them under quarantine when necessary. Sensing tha t his interest was more in politics than medicine, Sutherland decided to study law. This he did and was ad mitted to the Bar in 1819. By 1821 he was vo ted back into the State Legisla­ tu re, where he served in the lower Hou se until f ig. 2. General William Duncan al ag~ 90 1825, acting as Speaker d uring the last year. His in 1860. (ClHistorical Socifoty of Pmnsyivania.) ambition was for Congress, but he was defeated in 1822 and 1824. In the signal year of 1826 he was elected to the State Senate, to Congress, and to the newl y created Additional Trustees of Jefferson Medical College. Thus, by the age of 34, he had becomea physician, lawyer, and politician with an honorable military service. This aggressive man became a life member of Jefferson's Board of Trus t­ ees in Philadelphia (at the tim e under the jurisdic­ tion of the mother College at Cano nsbu rg) and would serve for 35 years until his death in 1861. Dr.Sutherland served for one session in the State Senate in 1826.

In counter action, on that day, Dr. Sutherland presented a petition from sundry practicing physicians of Pennsylva­ nia, "praying" for the establishment of a new Medi­ cal College in the City of Philadelphia. He also presented the petition of sundry practicing physi­ cians of Lancaster County of similar import.

He wrote a Manual of l..Lgislative Practice and Order of Business in Deliberative Bodies (827) for use in state legisla­ tures which went throu gh five editions by 1853.

The author wishes to express his gratitude to his colleague, Bernard Sternsher, for his helpful editorial suggestions. 1 Historians have given most of their attention to secondary Federalists, but since i960 the number of modern scholarly biographies of less prominent Republicans has increased. We now have first-rate biographies on Robert R. Livingston, David Rittenhouse, Aaron Burr, Daniel D. Tompkins, John Breckinridge, Luther Martin, Benjamin Rush (2), Samuel Smith, and James Monroe. There are also a number of good unpublished doctoral dissertations. Among the more notable studies are those on Elkanah Watson, Simon Snyder, Mathew Carey, Samuel Latham Mitchell, Melancton Smith, Levi Woodbury, William Lowndes, William Duane, William Jones (2), Eleazer Oswald, Thomas McKean, Levi Lincoln, Ephraim Kirby, and John Nicholson. Major biographies of Tench Coxe by Jacob E. Cooke, of John Beckley by Edmund Berkeley, and of Thomas McKean by John M. Coleman and Gail Stuart Rowe are now in progress. 131 132 ROLAND M.

IT is deemed proper, before the Thompson Memorial manu­ script leaves-me, that something should be said of its history. More than fifty years ago, I became interested in the family history of my ancestors, and never failed to seize upon and retain every item of it that could subserve my object, which was· then wholly my personal gratification. Thirty years ago my interest was largely increased by looking through a brief manu­ script genealogy . mainly of families of Thompsons in the vicinity . of Woburn and Charlestown, prepared by Cyrus Thompson, Esq., of.

  • Notes About Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas
    Notes about Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Copyright © 2000–2009 by William Lee Anderson III. All rights reserved. Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Introduction During the 1700s many Scotch-Irish and German immigrants arrived in America. They and their children settled parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Today, most of their descendants never think about their heritage. Most live in the present, are working on real-life problems, or planning their future. That attitude was shared by their ancestor immigrants 250 years ago. Nonetheless, I suspect most descendants have at least wondered what the word Scotch-Irish means. All my life, I have heard various facts, but never understood how they fit together. Some facts appeared contradictory. So, I investigated, and discovered a colorful story that far exceeded my expectations. My principal objectives were to: Understand certain comments made by grandparents and other relatives over 40 years ago. Understand the confusing adjective Scotch-Irish.
