  • Delaware: Allan Mclane
    Delaware: Allan McLane Born in Philadelphia, PA on August 8, 1746, Allan McLane was one of George Washington’s boldest soldiers, but most reluctant U.S. marshals. By the time the American Revolution began, McLane had moved to Delaware, where he had a trading business, and immediately enlisted as a lieutenant in Caesar Rodney's Delaware Regiment. McLane’s company numbered about one hundred men, and included some Oneida Indian scouts. So devoted was he to his troops, that McLane used much of his inherited fortune for their pay and equipment. McLane participated in Washington’s disastrous New York Campaign of 1776.109 During this military campaign and the Battle of Princeton in January 1777, McLane earned a promotion to captain and began a legendary career as a cavalryman and spy.110 McLane utilized different disguises to infiltrate British camps and gather vital information that contributed to the success of American forces at the battles of Monmouth Courthouse (June 28, 1778) and Stoney Point (July 16, 1779).111 On another occasion, a wounded McLane personally killed two British soldiers and escaped capture, despite being abandoned by his three companions. Collectively, McLane’s courage and daring personality helped him earn the rank of colonel by the end of the war in 1783.112 Portrait of Allan McLane. Courtesy of the State of Delaware Office of Historical and Cultural Affairs 109 He was also one of the first offices to question Benedict Arnold’s loyalty. 110 “History - The First Generation of United States Marshals/The First Marshal of Delaware: Allan McLane,” U.S.

  • Thomas Mifflin-Revolutionary Patriot*
    THOMAS MIFFLIN-REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOT* By KENNETH R. ROSSMAN THERE is no biography of Thomas Mifflin, and usually his- 1torians angrily dismiss him as a plotter against Washington in the notorious "Conway Cabal."' Although only a secondary figure in a period studded with great men, he nevertheless does not de- serve this neglect. Provincial and state assemblyman, ardent patriot, delegate to the Continental Congress and once its president, quarter- master-general and major-general in the Continental Army, Board of War Commissioner, member of the Federal Convention, chair- man of the state constitutional convention, president of the Supreme Executive Council, three-times governor of Pennsylvania-these bespeak eloquently his influence and prominence in local and conti- nental affairs. Several factors help to explain Miffin's failure to receive biographical treatment. The materials for a full-length portrait are still wanting, especially private and personal letters. His sup- posed complicity in the Conway Cabal, as well as bitter contro- versy over his work as quartermaster-general, deterred other biographers who might have undertaken the task. This essay, a study of an early portion of his career, may in part fill the gap. Thomas Mifflin, the oldest son of John Mifflin and Elizabeth Bagnell, was born in Philadelphia, January 10, 1744.2 Descendant of an old Quaker family of prominence and wealth in this city, he was assured a good start in life. His father was a prosperous mer- chant, and very active in public affairs. *Before it was revised and completely documented, this article appeared originally in Abstracts in History, V, 1939-1943 (Iowa City, 1943).

  • Caesar Rodney's Services and During the American Revolution
    E207 .R6 .F73 Delaware's hero for all times and all seasons by William P. Frank I © Copyright, 1975, by the Delaware American Revolution Bicentennial Commission Design by James A. Collins B IVES hero bv William P. Frank Illustrations by A. N. Wyeth Delaware American Revolution Bicentennial. Commission Wilmington, Delaware 1975 This booklet is dedicated to The Honorable Sherman W. Tribbitt, Governor of the Delaware, in recognition of his own dedication to bringing proper recognition of Caesar Rodney's services and during the American Revolution. Thomas McKean, Caesar Rodney, and George Read, Deirnt·are 's signers of the Declaration of Independence. Caesar Rodney rides through American history as the patron saint of his native state, Delaware's principal hero of the American Revolutionary War. In his brief 55-year life he held more public offices than any other Delawarean before or since. He was a soldier, a judge, a delegate to the American Continental Congress, speaker of the Delaware Assembly, a chief executive of Delaware, a justice of the state's Supreme Court, and held many other offices of public trust. Unlike Thomas McKean, George Read, and John Dickinson, with whom he served in Congress, Rodney was not a scholar. McKean and Dickinson, because they were more learned, were better known beyond Delaware's boundaries than was Rodney. But it is Rodney's name, not McKean's, Dickinson's nor Read's that is familiar to Americans today. The equestrian statue in Wilmington, Delaware, of Rodney riding to Philadelphia to cast Delaware's deciding vote for the Declaration of Independence in July, 1776, has been adopted by scores of writers, artists, playwrights, poets and businesses as the symbol of Delaware's participation in the American Revolution and the Declaration.

  • Focusing on Firsts: Delaware Doctor Was First U.S
    Focusing on Firsts: Delaware Doctor Was First U.S. Army Surgeon General By Stacey Inglis elawareans have become accustomed to being first. We have bragging rights. Caesar Rodney made certain of D that when he rode through the night, signed his name and established Delaware as the First State. In fact, for five or so celebratory days, Delaware basked in the glory of being the only state. Pennsylvania was second, and New Jersey third, to ratify and claim statehood. Since the time of ratification and setting the standard of firsts, Delaware has had a series of them. Delaware’s first permanent doctor was Tyman Stidham, a Swede who came over with Governor Risingh, landing at Fort Casimir (New Castle) on May 21, 1654.1 On June 21, 1768 medical honors were conferred for the first time in America. Ten gentlemen received their Bachelor of Medicine degrees on this occasion and three of the men were from (what would become) Delaware. Not even a country yet, or a state for that matter, and we had three doctors in the first graduating class in the first medical school; John Archer of New Castle, James Tilton of Kent County and Nicholas Way of Wilmington.2 Original bronze sculpture of James Tilton, M.D. One of those three men went on to achieve a lion’s share of firsts. by sculptress Olga Nielsen in 2017. It’s a name familiar to the medical community in the First State: Dr. James Tilton. Tilton was a founder and first President of the Medical Society of Delaware, incorporated in 1789.3 In a letter to George Washington (you know, the first President of the recently elected the first President of the Medical Society of Delaware:4 established United States) dated February 15, 1787, Tilton shared “…..contrary to my opinion & inclination, the state society have the news with his friend, announcing to him that he had been hitherto continued to elect me their President.” Tilton was born on a farm in Duck Creek in Kent County, Delaware, which at the time was still one of the three lower counties of Pennsylvania.

Vita Page 89 111 Abstract The majority ofpeople in Delaware prior to the American Revolution were conservative by nature and were either opposed to the idea ofseparation from Great Britain or did not believe such a conflict could be won. Only New Castle County, heavily dominated by Presbyterians, could be relied upon to support the principles of independence~both Kent and Sussex Counties would have preferred to remain aloof from the conflict For the American Revolution to succeed in Delaware, at least two of Delaware's three counties had to accept the principles ofindependence, which meant that leaders from the counties ofeither Kent or Sussex had to join with their brethren in New Castle.

  • The Signers of the Declaration of Independence
    The Declaration of Independence: About the Signers (Continued) The Signers of the Declaration of Independence All of the colonies were represented in Philadelphia to consider the delicate case for independence and to change the course of the war. In all, there were fifty-six representatives from the thirteen colonies. Fourteen represented the New England Colonies, twenty-one represented the Middle Colonies and twenty-one represented the South- ern Colonies. The largest number (9) came from Pennsylvania. Most of the signers were American born although eight were foreign born. The ages of the signers ranged from 26 (Edward Rutledge) to 70 (Benjamin Franklin), but the majority of the signers were in their thirties or forties. More than half of the signers were lawyers and the others were planters, merchants and shippers. Together they mutually pledged “to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” They were mostly men of means who had much to lose if the war was lost. None of the sign- ers died at the hands of the British, and one-third served as militia officers during the war. Four of the signers were taken captive during the war and nearly all of them were poorer at the end of the war than at the beginning. No matter what each of these men did after July 1776, the actual signing of the Declaration of Independence which began on August 2 ensured them instant immortality. The following gives a bit of information about each signer AFTER the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Connecticut Samuel Huntington (1731-1796)—Samuel Huntington was a self-made man who distinguished himself in government on the state and national levels.
