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.

  • THE POLITICS of SLAVERY and FREEDOM in PHILADELPHIA, 1820-1847 a Dissertation Submitted To
    NEITHER NORTHERN NOR SOUTHERN: THE POLITICS OF SLAVERY AND FREEDOM IN PHILADELPHIA, 1820-1847 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Elliott Drago May, 2017 Examining Committee Members: Andrew Isenberg, Chair, Temple University, History Harvey Neptune, Temple University, History Jessica Roney, Temple University, History Jonathan Wells, University of Michigan, History Judith Giesberg, Villanova University, History Randall Miller, External Member, Saint Joseph’s University, History © Copyright 2017 by Elliott Drago All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the conflict over slavery and freedom in Philadelphia from 1820 to 1847. As the northernmost southern city in a state that bordered three slave states, Philadelphia maintained a long tradition of abolitionism and fugitive slave activity. Conflicts that arose over fugitive slaves and the kidnapping of free African-Americans forced Philadelphians to confront the politics of slavery. This dissertation argues that until 1847, Pennsylvania was in effect a slave state. The work of proslavery groups, namely slave masters, their agents, white and black kidnappers, and local, state, and national political supporters, undermined the ostensible successes of state laws designed to protect the freedom of African-Americans in Pennsylvania. Commonly referred to as “liberty laws,” this legislation exposed the inherent difficulty in determining the free or enslaved status of not only fugitive slaves but also African-American kidnapping victims. By studying the specific fugitive or kidnapping cases that inspired these liberty laws, one finds that time and again African-Americans and their allies forced white politicians to grapple with the reality that Pennsylvania was not a safe-haven for African-Americans, regardless of their condition of bondage or freedom.

  • The Van Deventer Family
    THE VAN DEVENTER FAMILY THE VANDEVENTER FAMILY Dedicated to the Memory of MR. WILLIS VAN DEVANTER Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Compiled by CHRISTOBELLE VAN DEVENTER Pres8 of E. \V. STEPHENS COMPANY Columbia, Missouri 1943 COPYRIGHT, 1943 BY CHRISTOBELLE VAN DEVENTER PREFACE Mr. Justice Willis Van Devanter had a keen interest in the genealogy of the family, and pursued it with characteristic thoroughness, devoting much time and effort to the collection of data. It was his purpose to publish and preserve the material, but unfortunately this purpose was not accomplished. He extended his research to the Netherlands and had made several visits there. A genealogist, recommended by the Archivist in the City of Utrecht, was engaged to trace the family, and succeeded in extending the line of descent to the great grandfather of Jan Pietersz van Deventer, the first American ancestor. The very thorough research made by Mr. Charles 0. Van­ devanter of the original records in all states where the early ramily had been located, has added materially to the value of this work. Much family data was supplied by various descend­ ant families. One of the first to undertake research, at a time when the subject was whol)y undeveloped, was Mr. Charles H. Van Deventer, of New York. Mr. James Thayer Van Deventer and three of his sons have contributed valuable records. Mr. Paul M. Chamberlain devoted considerable time to research. These records have all been made available and have been incorporated into this work. A considerable portion of the text is based upon original records and numerous recognized authorities.

  • 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.

  • Black Nativism: African American Politics, Nationalism and Citizenship in Baltimore and Philadelphia, 1817 to 1863
    BLACK NATIVISM: AFRICAN AMERICAN POLITICS, NATIONALISM AND CITIZENSHIP IN BALTIMORE AND PHILADELPHIA, 1817 TO 1863 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Andrew Keith Diemer May, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Elizabeth R. Varon, Chair, University of Virginia, History Andrew C. Isenberg, Temple University, History David Waldstreicher, Temple University, History Richard S. Newman, Rochester Institute of Technology, History © by Andrew Keith Diemer 2011 All Rights Reserved ii Abstract This dissertation is a study of free African American politics, in the cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia, between 1817 and 1863. At the heart of this black politics were efforts to assert the right of free African Americans to citizenship in their native United States. Claims on the ambiguous notion of citizenship were important to free blacks both as a means of improving their own lives and as a way to combat slavery. The dissertation begins with the organized black protest against the founding of the American Colonization Society. The contest over the notion, advanced by the ACS, that free blacks were not truly American, or that they could not ever be citizens in the land of their birth, powerfully shaped the language and tactics of black politics. The dissertation ends with the enlistment of black troops in the Civil War, a development which powerfully shaped subsequent arguments for full black citizenship. It argues that in this period, free African Americans developed a rhetorical language of black nativism, the assertion that birth on American soil and the contribution of one’s ancestors to the American nation, had won for African Americans the right to be citizens of the United States.

The records of Denbigh Borough Council were surveyed, and in response to an invitation from the County Archivist, one of the last acts of the council in March 1974 was generously to agree to the deposit on loan of all its non-current records in the Record Office at Ruthin, where the archives of the authorities in the former county of Denbigh are preserved. Under the terms of the Local Government Act, the borough charters became the property of the new Denbigh Town Council, and they remain in its custody. However the town council has kindly allowed photographic copies to be made by the Record Office, and details of the charters are included in this handlist as an appendix.
