His only son, Anthony Morris (1654-1721), was active in the Society of Friends and immigrated with his wife Mary Jones (d. 1688) and their son Anthony Morris (1681-1763) to America in 1682, settling in Burlington, New Jersey. By 1685 he had moved his family to Philadelphia, building a home on Front Street between Walnut and Chestnut Streets. Anthony worked as a brewer and established the Anthony Morris Brewhouse around 1687. He was also active in politics and civic affairs. He was among the founders of Philadelphia’s first public school in 1689 (later Penn Charter School), commissioned a justice of the peace in 1692, and elected to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 1694. He was also mayor of Philadelphia from 1703 to 1704. His son Anthony Morris (1681-1763) followed his father in the brewing profession, becoming apprenticed to Henry and Mary Badcock [Babcock] in 1695. He later built the Morris Brewery at Second and Arch Street. Anthony married Phoebe Guest (1685-1786). Her parents, George Guest and Alice Bailyes Guest, had emigrated from England in 1681. Anthony was also active in local politics. He was elected a member of the Philadelphia Common Council in 1715, and in 1721 was chosen as representative in the Assembly of the Province of Pennsylvania. In 1738 he was elected mayor of Philadelphia. Among the children of Anthony and Phoebe Guest Morris was a son, also Anthony Morris (1705-1780). Anthony Morris (1705-1780) remained in the family brewing business. He is often referred to as “Anthony of Southwark” since he owned two properties, “Solitude” and “Peckham,” in the Southwark section of the city. Anthony married Sarah Powell (1713-1751) in 1730 and later Elizabeth Hudson (circa 1721-1783) in 1752. Anthony and Sarah had several children, among whom were Deborah Morris (1736-1787), Thomas Morris (1745-1809), and Samuel Morris (1734-1812). The children of Anthony and Elizabeth included Luke Morris (1760-1802). Thomas Morris (1745-1809) married Mary Saunders (1747-1774). One of their children, Thomas Morris (1774-1841) married Sarah Marshall (1777-1824), who gave birth to Anthony Saunders Morris (1803-1885). Anthony S. Morris married Anne Emlen Jones (1806-1883). Samuel Morris (1734-1812) married Rebecca Wistar (1735-1791). Together they had many children, among whom were Anthony Morris (1766-1860), Luke Wistar Morris (1768-1830), Isaac Wistar Morris (1770-1831), Catherine Wistar Morris (1772-1859), and Israel Wistar Morris (1778-1870). Luke Wistar Morris and Isaac Wistar Morris became brewers, proprietors of the Luke W. Morris & Co brewery at Dock and Pear Streets. In 1817 Luke Wistar Morris purchased a home at 225 South 8th Street known as the “Morris Mansion.” Isaac married Sarah Paschall (1772-1842). Catherine Wistar Morris remained unmarried. Israel Wistar Morris became a prominent Philadelphia broker and merchant. He married Mary Hollingsworth (1776-1820) in 1799. Among their children was Henry Morris (1802-1881). Henry Morris (1802-1881), an ironmaster by trade, joined his brother Stephen Paschall Morris (1800-1865), proprietor of the Paschall Iron Works, and a third partner, Thomas T. Tasker in 1835 to create the firm of Morris, Tasker and Morris. In 1856 the firm became Morris, Tasker and Company. Henry Morris’s home “Solitude,” was located at Fifth and Tasker Streets; he also maintained a “cottage” in Newport, Rhode Island. Henry Morris married Catherine Old (1800-1889), who was descended from 'Baron' Henry - Page 4 - Morris family papers W. Stiegel (1729-1785) a German-American glassmaker and ironmaster, and one of the founders of Manheim, Pennsylvania. Henry Morris and Elizabeth Old had several children, including Henry Gurney Morris (1839-1915). Henry G. Morris married Sarah “Sallie” Marshall; he later served as executor of his father’s estate. Scope and Contents The Morris family papers consist of 2.2 linear feet of miscellaneous papers pertaining to the Morris family, prominent Quakers of Philadelphia, beginning with the marriage of Anthony Morris and Mary Jones in 1676, their immigration to America with their son Anthony in 1681, and the family’s establishment in Philadelphia as wealthy brewers and later as iron manufacturers. The papers include correspondence, wills, testamentary papers, deeds, estate papers and genealogical records. The collection follows several Morris generations: Anthony Morris (1654-1721), his son Anthony Morris (1681-1763), and his grandson Anthony Morris (1705-1780), all prominent in the brewing business and all active in political and civic affairs. From this point the collection focuses on two lines of descent. One follows the family of Thomas Morris (1745-1809), son of Anthony Morris (1705-1780), his son Thomas Morris (1774-1841), and his grandson Anthony Saunders Morris (1803-1885), whose correspondence forms a significant part of this collection. The other follows the descendants of Thomas’s brother Samuel Morris (1734-1812), who married Rebecca Wistar (1735-1791). Several of their children figure prominently in the collection, including Anthony Morris (1766-1860), Luke Wistar Morris (1768-1820), Isaac Wistar Morris (1770-1831), Catherine Wistar Morris (1772-1859), and Israel Wistar Morris (1778-1870), the father of Henry Morris (1802-1881). Box 1 includes the genealogical correspondence of Anthony Saunders Morris (1803-1885) and his wife Anne Emlen Morris and her relations. A curious but undated “Memoirs from my father to be regarded” by James Morris (Box 1, Folder 1) may relate to the James Morris born in 1688, thus containing the fatherly advice and counsel of Anthony Morris (1654-1721) to his son. Also noteworthy is the diary of an unidentified woman, possibly of the Morris family, dating from 1845-1849 (Box 1, Folder 5). Box 2 contains wills, testamentary papers, and marriage certificates. Most of the persons represented here are clearly attested in the Morris family history background note. Others not directly attested include Samuel Howell (1723-1807), a copy of whose will is included here. He was a prominent Quaker merchant and financier of the American Revolution. His relation to the Morris family is unclear. William Carter was the second husband of Mary Sutton, whose first husband was John Morris, son of Anthony Morris (1681-1763). The Stephen Paschall and Thomas Paschall wills represent a link to Isaac Wistar Morris (1770-1831), who was married to Sarah Paschall (1772-1842). Of special note is the original 1676 marriage certificate (Box 2, Folder 7) of Anthony Morris (1654-1721) and Mary Jones, and a 1682 certificate from the London Yearly Meeting of Friends, recommending them to the Society of Friends in America in Burlington, New Jersey. The marriage certificate records additional family history on the verso. Recorded

Coates and Reynell Family Papers, 1677-1930 (bulk 1730-1850) 66 boxes, 147 vols., 40 lin. feet Collection 140 Abstract Mary Coates (1707-1773) and her husband John Reynell (1708-1784) presided over a successful dynasty of Quaker professionals and philanthropists, despite having no biological children who lived to adulthood. After the death of Mary’s brother Samuel in 1748, John Reynell took on responsibility for her three orphaned nephews, Thomas, Josiah, and Samuel Jr. Little Samuel (1711-1748) eventually succeeded his “Uncle Reynell” as the head of a prosperous international trade business, dealing in American lumber, Caribbean sugar, and European manufactured goods. A contemporary of Benjamin Franklin, Samuel was among the first shareholders of the Library Company of Philadelphia. His son, Benjamin H. Coates, was a poet and a physician, a founder of the North American Medical and Surgical Journal and an attending physician at several charitable institutions in Philadelphia. Josiah established his own shipping business with his friend Edward Randolph, and fathered a vigorous family. His son George Morrison Coates also became a merchant, specializing in hardware. George’s two unmarried daughters, Beulah and Mary, distinguished themselves as pillars of women’s charitable organizations in the mid-nineteenth century.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

    ABSCONDING SERVANTS, ANXIOUS GERMANS, AND ANGRY SAILORS: WORKING PEOPLE AND THE MAKING OF THE PHILADELPHIA ELECTION RIOT OF 1742 Michael Bradley McCoy University ofPittsburgh fortnight before the Philadelphia Election of 1742, a weathered seaman named John Spence advised Quaker merchant Thomas Lloyd that a mob of sailors could help the Quakers defeat their political adversaries, the Proprietary Party. "In a jocular Manner," Spence told Lloyd "that if the Quakers would give him fifteen hundred acres of land, they should have the Election." After three years of bitter intra-elite division sparked by theWar forJenkins' Ear, Lloyd probably entertained the offer.Repulsed, however, by the mariner's audacity, Lloyd quickly retorted, "It was not to or nor was in.. .Spence's power help hinder" any party, it his place. Indeed, while laborers like Spence represented a growing segment of the urban population, inadequate taxable wealth meant most could not participate directly within the polity. Likely, maritime laborers represented from ten to and as much as twenty or twenty-five percent of the population, making them the single largest group of wage laborers.1 Given their mobility, wage fluctuations, and the inconsistency of employment, they PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY: A JOURNALOF MID-ATLANTIC STUDIES, VOL. 74, NO. 4, 2OO7 Copyright ? 2007 The Pennsylvania Historical Association This content downloaded from 128.118.152.206 on Mon, 2 Feb 2015 11:45:36 AM All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY tax were underrepresented on the city's rolls.

  • "Philadelphia*S <J)(Cunicipal Corporation
    "Philadelphia*s <J)(Cunicipal Corporation, 1701-1776 URING the colonial period two American cities, New York and Philadelphia, were nominally governed by municipal D corporations closely resembling their English models, and displaying many of the same deficiencies but little of the vitality that still characterized some of their English counterparts. The Philadel- phia Corporation was a close one, entirely self-perpetuating. During its seventy-five-year existence (1701-1776), it became ever more closely bound to its own interests as a legal entity and thus more estranged from the interests of the inhabitants of Philadelphia. Under its charter, the Corporation received powers that were static and somewhat antiquated. As a consequence, the increasing size of the city and the complexity of urban life left the Corporation iso- lated, further and further out of touch with public opinion, while the actual government of Philadelphia went piecemeal into the hands of boards of commissioners, wardens, overseers, and the like. These derived their authority from the Pennsylvania Assembly rather than from the municipal charter.1 The Philadelphia Corporation played second fiddle to the pro- vincial government on every count. It suffered from the Assembly's presence in Philadelphia and from its tendency to interest itself in the details of the city government. E. S. Griffith, a historian of city government, has stated that this situation was common in the colonies: "In many instances, notably in the capital cities, the assembly appeared to regard itself as the actual government of the town, solemnly considering details which might more properly have been delegated—and which in fact in some instances had actually 1 The actual government of Philadelphia by these boards is a related study, one that has not as yet been done except in the general terms of Carl Bridenbaugh's two books, Cities in the Wilderness and Cities in Revolt.
