  • 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.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY The First "Purchasers of Pennsylvania 1681-1700 ENNSYLVANIA, like West New Jersey, was a Quaker under- taking and had the wholehearted support of the Quaker leaders. PWithout the backing of this sect as a whole, William Penn would have been only another on a long list of proprietor-adventurers in the New World. As it turned out, when he launched his campaign for purchasers and settlers in the early summer of 1681, he found a response to his idea of a "Holy Experiment" that has no parallel in the story of American colonization. The vigor of the reception given Penn's scheme is to be attributed to the concern of the Quakers with existing conditions in Great Britain and Ireland.1 It is true that the persecutions of nonconform- ists under Charles II did not compare in intensity and harshness with those of earlier periods, that the persecutions were nowhere as vindictive or cruel or as near the extermination point as some thought, and that they were intermittent in the sense that all penal legislation was never enforced everywhere at one time nor anywhere continuously through the reign. And yet, as thinking Quakers re- flected upon the course of the persecution since 1660, as they wit- 1 William C. Braithwaite, The Second Period of Quakerism (London, 1921), discusses fully the nature and extent of the persecutions, 1660-1688. See especially pages 21-211. 137 I38 JOHN E. POMFRET April nessed its quick renewal in 1678 upon the acceptance of the flimsy evidence produced by the Titus Oates Plot, and as they observed the fierce antagonism of the extreme Whigs toward the Crown and the deep suspicion of the machinations of Charles II, they were con- vinced that England, though "sound, solvent, and sober-minded/' was certainly for them no land of promise either for the present or for future generations.2 The Friends were a small sect, but they were peculiarly vulnerable because they refused to meet in secret or to compromise on any principle that would substitute man-made law for the law of God.

Jones Family Papers, 1681-1869 5 boxes, 26 vols., 5.5 lin. feet Collection 1301 Abstract The Jones Family of Pennsylvania emigrated from their native Wales in the seventeenth century, when Jonathan Jones was just a child. The Joneses settled in Merion, and Jonathan (b. 1680) went on to marry Gainor Owen (b. 1688), whose family came from Wales at about the same time. They had eleven children, including Owen Jones (1711- 1793), the last provincial treasurer before the Revolutionary War. Owen Jones (d. 1793) married Susannah Evans, had ten children, and inherited his father Jonathan’s land in Merion upon his death. Owen’s (d. 1793) two sons Owen (1744-1825) and Jonathan (1762-1821) became prominent merchants in Philadelphia. Owen established a firm with Amos Foulke, named Jones and Foulke, and Jonathan partnered briefly with Caleb Foulke in a firm under the same title, Jones and Foulke. The elder Owen Jones passed away in 1793, and soon his son Owen changed the firm Jones and Foulke to Owen Jones and Company, dealing in tea, textiles, and other dry goods.

  • The Construction of a Gendered Memory in Philadelphia and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, 1860-1914
    FOR THE LOVE OF ONE’S COUNTRY: THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GENDERED MEMORY IN PHILADELPHIA AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, 1860-1914 _______________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ________________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor Of Philosophy ________________________________________________________________________ By Smadar Shtuhl May, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Susan E. Klepp, Advisory Chair, History Wilbert L. Jenkins, History Jonathan Daniel Wells, History Rebecca T. Alpert, External Member, Temple University © by Smadar Shtuhl 2011 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The acquisition of the home of George Washington by the Mount Vernon Ladies Association in 1858 was probably the first preservation project led by women in the United States. During the following decades, elite Philadelphia and Montgomery County women continued the construction of historical memory through the organization and popularization of exhibitions, fundraising galas, preservation of historical sites, publication of historical writings, and the erection of patriotic monuments. Drawing from a wide variety of sources, including annual organizations’ reports, minutes of committees and of a DAR chapter, correspondence, reminiscences, newspapers, circulars, and ephemera, the dissertation argues that privileged women constructed a classed and gendered historical memory, which aimed to write women into the national historical narrative and present themselves as custodians of history. They constructed a subversive historical account that placed women on equal footing with male historical figures and argued that women played a significant role in shaping the nation’s history. During the first three decades, privileged women advanced an idealized memory of Martha and George Washington with an intention to reconcile the sectional rift caused by the Civil War.

PHILADELPHIA: Printed for the AUTHOR, and sold by Mr. NICHOLAS BROOKS, in Second Street, between Market and Chestnut Streets. MDCCLXXIV. PHILADELPHIA: Reprinted by CHARLES L.

GENTLEMEN, IT was not altogether for the little benefit which may arise to myself, that induced me to publish this work, as it is well known it would have been more beneficial to myself and family not to have done it: but through the persuasion of many respectable gentlemen of this province, and your generously subscribing for the encouragement thereof, and my being fully convinced of the benefit it would be to the public in general, and particularlyto the descendants of those whose forefathers became purchasers of lands in the province of Pennsylvania; these were the reasons, save a desire I had to give the public a full description of the city and liberties, and shew in what right the city lots and liberty lands are held. And notwithstanding the insinuations of some of the Proprietary officers are, that the intention of this work is to cause confusion and contention among the people of this province, &c., I can with truth declare, that I knew butfew whose property it affects; and that was occasioned when people appliedfor their rights; the surveyor laying them on lands long since surveyed and patented to others, in order (as Iapprehend) for the better securing to themselves the lands formerly reserved for the purchasers not then come over.

  • Benjamin Chew Receipt Book
    BENJAMIN CHEW'S RECEIPT BOOK 1770 - 1809 Nancy E. Richards Chief Researcher Cliveden Introduction: The life and times of Benjamin Chew (1722-1810) merit serious study on several levels. As one of the leading jurists of his day, Chew enjoyed considerable political prestige. A protégé of the Penn family, Chew represented their interests in a variety of areas including the boundary disputes with Maryland (1751) and with Connecticut (1754) and in negotiations with the Pennsylvania legislature over the family land holdings. The same high regard for his legal acumen that led to Chew's appointment as Chief Justice of the Province of Pennsylvania just before the Revolution would occasion his reappointment to the bench in the Federal era as President of the High Court of Errors and Appeals. Chew's high status in Philadelphia society was based on his political position, his personal wealth, and advantageous marriages first to Mary Galloway of Maryland and later to Elizabeth Oswald, niece of wealthy Philadelphia merchant Joseph Turner. Chew's life style generally seems to have been similar to that of other upper class Philadelphians. He had an elegant residence in the city and a summer house in Germantown. Besides several rental properties in Philadelphia, he owned large blocks of land in western Pennsylvania as well as inherited property in Delaware and Maryland. Chew also controlled property in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania that his second wife inherited. Like many of their eighteenth and nineteenth century contemporaries the Chew family had a penchant for record keeping. One factor that sets them apart is the survival of so many of these records.
