  • Per House by Name As Well As by Accomplishment. Such, However, Is 1840 to 1851, His Length of Service Being Unsurpassed by A
    DANIEL STURGEON, A STUDY IN OBSCURITY GEORGE ROADMAN1 nrfjxB Constitution of the United States has provided for only two JL senators from each state, a factor which ought to attract more than the average amount of public attention for those who have made the grade. A state as large and politically important as Pennsylvania should be able, by virtue of this fact alone, to list its representatives in the up- per house by name as well as by accomplishment. Such, however, is not the case, for in the long listof senators who served inthe nineteenth century, few attained any degree of national prominence and then only as a President, political boss, or member of a Presidential cabinet. The reasons for the well-known and lamentable obscurity of Penn- sylvania senators are many and varied, and are quite often explainable only as a result of rather complete studies of the lives of those involved. One of these unknowns, Daniel Sturgeon of Uniontown, is worth con- sidering because he combined the factors of long service in state and national public life with an almost total obscurity as far as the pages of history are concerned. 2 From 1818 to 1858, Sturgeon pursued a politi- cal career that began with his election to the state house of representa- tives, took him to the state senate in 1826, made him speaker of the senate in 1828, saw him appointed auditor general under Governor George Wolf in 1830, elected him state treasurer in 1836, and finally carried him into the United States Senate where he remained from 1840 to 1851, his length of service being unsurpassed by a Pennsylva- nian until Don Cameron's twenty years of service from 1877 to 1897.

    SCHOOL SEGREGATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY PENNSYLVANIA BY EDWARD J. PRICE, JR. 7HE Pennsylvania Abolition Act of 1780 provided for the gradual Xabolition of slavery as well as the elimination of discriminatory laws, but it did not provide the black citizens of the commonwealth with equality. The general acceptance by whites of the concept of black inferiority and the fear of racial amalgamation or misce- genation led to segregation and discrimination in the social, political, and economic spheres of life. Blacks did not quietly accept these conditions. ' They labored to improve their status by es- tablishing various self-help organizations. Many considered educa- tional activities to. be the most important part of the self-help program since they saw education as a panacea for the problems facing the race. Blacks have traditionally viewed education as a means of im- proving their condition in society. Their great faith in education was manifested in various ways. Leading black men established schools, formed literary societies, and urged others to take advantage of these institutions. Even though groups of philanthropic whites such as the Quakers established schools for the basic education of blacks, groups such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church also founded schools. Members of the black intelligentsia joined together to form literary societies which provided libraries and a forum for the ex- change of ideas on topics of interest. During the ante-bellum period nine of these organizations were established in Philadelphia, and the black community in Pittsburgh supported two literary societies. Furthermore, state and national conventions of black men, which were held frequently prior to 1860, urged black people to improve The author received his Ph.D.

  • P Who Argue That American Politics in the Jacksonian Era Re- Flected Few Basic Social Or Economic Cleavages in the Electorate
    PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS IN THE JACKSONIAN PERIOD: A CASE STUDY, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, 1824-1844 BY WILLLAm G. SHADE* P ENNSYLVANIA has stood as the classic example for those P who argue that American politics in the Jacksonian era re- flected few basic social or economic cleavages in the electorate. Henry Mueller's study of the Whig party presented a traditional economic interpretation of partisan activity associating the Whigs with commerce, manufacturing and wealth in general.' However, subsequent examination of working class voting and the general complexity of the state's politics tended to discredit this view.2 Today most students of the state's politics during this period probably agree with Richard McCormick: Like New York, Pennsylvania was a large and hetero- geneous state with a multiplicity of religious and na- tional groups and with definable geographic sections. Unlike New York, however, its politics rarely reflects religious, national or sectional cleavages.3 Yet evidence of the importance of religious and ethno-cultural factors on nineteenth century voting behavior has appeared which indicates that forces similar to those structuring New York politics were at work in Pennsylvania. 4 This article focuses on *The author is an Associate Professor of History at Lehigh University.

March into Oblivion: A Footnote Abstract In the above-titled work in 2006, this writer briefly discussed the possibility that President George Washington traversed present Adams County in October 1794, during his return from Bedford to Philadelphia, a belief long and widely held locally. No credible assertion of the President's presence here in 1794 was possible at that time. Recently however, a forgotten narrative was "rediscovered"; its author, Jacob Eyster, gives some substance to the previous mere speculation. After extensive research, this writer was graciously requested to produce a sequel to his prior speculative writing.

  • Abstracts of Adams County, Pennsylvania Wills (1745-1800)
    Abstracts of Adams County, Pennsylvania Wills (1745-1800) By: Randy J. Miller Preface This project was compiled from the York County Will Books and the York County Estate File at the Adams County Historical Society. The ACHS file is a partial collection of original wills from York County before 1800 and Lancaster County before 1749, pertaining to present day Adams County residents. York County was created from Lancaster County in 1749 and Adams County from York County in 1800. This project includes all present day Adams County townships and also Heidelberg township of present day York County. At the time of creation of Adams County from York County, part of Heidelberg township was left in present day Adams County. Therefore I have included all pre-1800 Heidelberg estates in this work. A small part of Monaghan, Warrington and Manheim townships was also left in present day Adams County but a complete listing of pre-1800 estates are not included. Due to Maryland claiming a large portion of York (Adams) County, some early estates may turn up in the Maryland archives. We wish to thank the following people for their assistance and hard work to compile this index: Larry C. Bolin, Dr. Charles H. Glatfelter, Thomas H. McQuaid, and Rev. Frederick S. Weiser. Introduction A person who dies with a Will (Testate), is leaving a valuable genealogical resource. It will give proof of residence and a general idea when the person died if no death date is known. Used in conjunction with Church Records, missing children or another marriage may become evident.
