Despite high social position and an excellent education, he shocked his upper-class associates by his conversion to the beliefs of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, then a persecuted sect. He used his inherited wealth and rank to benefit and protect his fellow believers. Despite the unpopularity of his religion, he was socially acceptable in the king's court because he was trusted by the Duke of York, later King James II.

  • HOMEWOOD, a GLIMPSE of RAILROAD OPERATION William A
    HOMEWOOD, A GLIMPSE OF RAILROAD OPERATION William A. James you want to see power, speed and action, look for a station near a junction point or an interlocking plant on a four-track railroad. IfA Such a station is Homewood on the Pennsylvania Railroad in Pittsburgh. It is a typical suburban stop, not unlike those on the Illinois Central Electric on Chicago's South Side or the Penn- sylvania itself along Philadelphia's MainLine. Passengers on through trains almost do not see it as they roar by. But to the commuter to and from Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle, it is a means of saving a good amount of travel time. In fact one train in the evening with homeward bound workers makes its first stop at Homewood. To the right of the station are some apartment buildings which are also like those seen in the outskirts of Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities. They represent the maximum in residential conven- ience, especially when the transportation factor is added. A play- ground for the youth of the district faces on the north. If one is interested in sports, one can spend time with profit watching trains and a good baseball game. A row of tall maples lines the west- bound platform just east of the playground. They stand quite majestically against a moonlit sky, sometimes weaving in the wind, more often still. Atthe west end of the platform the Lang Avenue pedestrian bridge crosses over the tracks and some of the best views of the trains can be had from this vantage point.

Source: HSBC collection, accession #P001185 Parkton is an agricultural community in northern Baltimore County, located 18 miles from Towson and 5.5 miles south of the Pennsylvania line. It takes its name from Margaret Parke, who divided the land she inherited from her father James Calder, and began selling building lots c1854. York Road, one of the first public turnpikes, passes through Parkton, where a tollgate was established in 1859 (in later years, there were two tollgates — one on either side of the railroad crossing). Farmers raised wheat, corn, and oats; bred cattle; and produced milk and cream for the Baltimore markets. There was also a grist mill (Roser's) and a small paper mill. The fortunes of the town rose and fell with those of the Northern Central Railroad, as described in this double issue of History Trails.
