Correspondence A substantial portion of this subseries is made up of letters to Benjamin Chew III from his father, Benjamin Chew Jr., while Benjamin III was living in Pittsburgh. Among the topics they discussed are their reactions to the opinion of the court on Barnett, disease and fever around Cliveden and Germantown, the Perrysville land case, William Parker’s deposition in an ongoing case, the administration and execution of the Wilkins estate, and the best legal strategies to undertake in Chew v. Biddle (see also Series 4 - Legal). In other letters, Benjamin III and his correspondents frequently discussed lands, business, and legal cases. After Benjamin Jr.'s death in 1844, Benjamin III's involvement in these issues often related to his father's estate. He exchanged letters with Henry B. and William White Chew, James Murray Mason, and Katherine (Banning) Chew about the family's disagreements over the handling of the estate and possession of Cliveden. Benjamin III corresponded with several attorneys about his legal battles with his family and Chew v. Chew, including Eli K. Price, Charles Ingersoll, J. R. Ingersoll, Edward D. Ingraham, and William Rawle. Substantial third party correspondence among these individuals is included below.

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.

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.

BY W. A. NEWMAN DORLAND, A.M., M.D., F.A.C.S. Major, Medical Corps, U. S. Army; formerly First Lieutenant and Surgeon of the Troop (April 1, 1898-November 10, 1903.) [For references see pp. 69-77.] (Continued from Vol. XLV, page 387.) CHAPTER V. CAPTAIN WELUAM BINGHAM.131 William Bingham, of Lansdowne, was the great- grandson of the James Bingham who was buried in Christ Church, Philadelphia, on December 22,1714, and his wife, Anne, who was buried Oct. 11,1750. He was the son of William (married in Christ Church Sept. 19,1745; on Dec. 29,1747, commissioned Ensign in the 3d Company of the Associated Eegiment of Foot of Philadelphia); and the grandson of James the second. His mother was Mary, daughter of Alderman and Mayor John Stamper. He was born in Philadelphia on March 8, 1752. In 1765 he entered the College of Philadelphia (Uni- versity of Pennsylvania) and in 1768, when but 16 years of age, he graduated from that Institution with a Master's degree, and shortly afterward received a diplomatic appointment under the British government at St. Pierre Myzene (Martinique), in the West Indies, where he was named as Consul in 1771, when he was but 19 years old.

  • BUSINESS in PHILADELPHIA DURING the BRITISH OCCUPATION, I777~I778
    BUSINESS IN PHILADELPHIA DURING THE BRITISH OCCUPATION, I777~i778 HE USUAL historical narrative passes over the British occupa- tion of Philadelphia, during the winter season of 1777-78, Twith a brief statement of advent and departure, and the occa- sional observation that the royal forces lived comfortably, if not some- what extravagantly, in gross contrast with the sufferings of the con- tinentals nearby at Valley Forge. A pageant and festival, honoring Sir William Howe upon his departure in May, receive frequent men- tion, as do the military exploits of the rebel forces in the vicinity. Actually, the stay of the British troops in the Quaker city revealed the apathy of many inhabitants toward the revolution and pampered the cupidity of those who catered to the military. The presence of a large body of foreign troops profoundly affected the economic life of the community. Shortly after eight o'clock on the morning of September 26, 1777, Lord Cornwallis, commanding a British and Hessian force of grena- diers, dragoons, and artillery, approached the city of Philadelphia,1 and by ten o'clock his staff took formal possession of the rebel capital, as Captain John Montresor, chief engineer, observed, "amidst the acclamation of some thousands of the inhabitants mostly women and children."2 While to many Philadelphians the coming of the British army meant a separation from family, friends, and business, to others it promised relief from irksome exactions and arbitrary restrictions imposed by a Continental Congress whose authority was by no means generally accepted. As the summer of 1777 approached, this body or- dered all private stores of goods, especially flour and iron, to be re- moved beyond the city limits.

  • Martin's Bench and Bar of Philadelphia
    MARTIN'S BENCH AND BAR OF PHILADELPHIA Together with other Lists of persons appointed to Administer the Laws in the City and County of Philadelphia, and the Province and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania BY , JOHN HILL MARTIN OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAR OF C PHILADELPHIA KKKS WELSH & CO., PUBLISHERS No. 19 South Ninth Street 1883 Entered according to the Act of Congress, On the 12th day of March, in the year 1883, BY JOHN HILL MARTIN, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. 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.

  • Cliveden Bibliography
    Cliveden Resources and Bibliography Updated 11/15/02 Introduction The following list has three parts: Part I lists archival and other collections—many of them very large—that tell a part of the Cliveden story. Part II lists the various research tools and resources available at Cliveden. These include reports from numerous research projects undertaken since the site was given to the National Trust in 1972, many of them in computer-readable form. Part III is an extensive bibliography of works about Cliveden or the people who lived there. Because these publications are numerous, they have been divided into categories such as “Architecture” or “Tour Guides.” There are undoubtedly many omissions, but additional items will be added as they come to our attention, in the hope that the list will one day be comprehensive. Part I: Collections Primary source materials at Cliveden Chew family library Legal library contains approximately 200 items dating from 1627 to the late eighteenth century.

THE LEGAL PROFESSION IN COLONIAL AMERICA* Anton-Hermann Chroustt VI. NEw YORK New York accepted the common law of England as the basis of its own law at a relatively early stage. This favorable attitude towards English law is to a large extent probably due to the fact that the colony was acquired by conquest rather than settlement. Soon after the English had taken over New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664 and had renamed it New York, a code of laws was promulgated under the title of the Duke's Laws. In 1673 the Dutch retook New York and re-introduced the old Dutch laws, but lost it again in 1674 to the British who restored the code of 1665. This code, which is mainly the work of Matthias Nicolls, a barrister from Lincoln's Inn (1649), drew alike from the com- mon law, the Dutch colonial laws and from some of the local laws in force in the New England colonies.
