  • SOCIETY NEWS and ACCESSIONS During the Last Quarter of the Eighteenth Century Philadelphia Was the Lead- Ing Port in America
    SOCIETY NEWS AND ACCESSIONS During the last quarter of the eighteenth century Philadelphia was the lead- ing port in America. She built more ships, had more tonnage on the high seas, and imported and exported more goods than any other port. While the mari- time history of New England has been fairly well documented by Professor Morison and others, that of Philadelphia has been almost wholly neglected, save for monographs by Professor E. P. Cheyney and Mr. Harrold E. Gil- lingham. Very few of the records of famous Philadelphia shipyards have been preserved in libraries and, until the sources are brought to light and made accessible to scholars, this neglect of the very important maritime history of Philadelphia is likely to continue. On November 15, the Council of the Society, recognizing the importance of this subject and recognizing also the valuable work being done by Mr. Marion V. Brewington, appointed him Curator of Maritime Records for the Society. Mr. Brewington, who for several years has devoted the few leisure hours left over from business duties to a study of naval history during and after the Revo- lution, has achieved a high reputation for scholarship and has published in THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY an interesting arti- cle on the State ship General Greene. It is hoped that Mr. Brewington's ap- pointment will serve to emphasize the need of preserving records pertaining to the maritime history of Philadelphia. "Quakers in Minnesota," by Thomas E. Drake, published in Minnesota History for September, 1937, reports the story of the Friends in that state from the arrival of the "first friend" in St.

  • The North Queen Street Cemetery and the African-American Experience in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania
    THE NORTH QUEEN STREET CEMETERY AND THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN SHIPPENSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA Steven B. Burg Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania n a small hill two blocks from downtown Shippensburg, Pennsylvania can be found a two hundred year-old African- OAmerican burial ground called the North Queen Street Cemetery. 1 Sometime in the eighteenth century, that piece of rocky ground on the outskirts of the town became a graveyard for the area’s slaves, and by the 1830s, it also provided a site for the commu- nity’s first African-American church. For most of the nineteenth century, that space served as the social, cultural, and spiritual center of the town’s growing African-American population, a place where they could celebrate, mourn, and build together the foundations of an African-American community. 2 This study is a micro-history focusing on a specific piece of land in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, that became the physical nexus of the town’s African-American community. The lot on North Queen Street became a location where the complex racial dynamics of a rural central Pennsylvania town became manifest as the area’s African-American minority transitioned from slav- ery to freedom. At that site, the town’s white elite helped the pennsylvania history: a journal of mid-atlantic studies, vol. 77, no. 1, 2010.

Edward Shippen Burd's grandfather, Col. James Burd (1726-1793), was born near Edinburgh, Scotland, and settled on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, after his marriage in 1748 to Sarah Shippen, a member of the prominent Shippen family of Lancaster and Shippensburg. He joined the military as an officer at the outbreak of the French and Indian War, eventually earning the rank of colonel by 1758. From 1756-1757 he was in command of Fort Augustus, near Shamokin, Pennsylvania, and from 1764-1770 he held the office of Justice of Lancaster County. In 1774, a year before the outbreak of hostilities with Great Britain, Col. Burd was instrumental in garnering local support for the colonial congress in its opposition to the Crown, and by the following year was assisting in the military organization of Lancaster County as a member of the Committee of Safety.

Tizanks are due also to the many Pattersun descendants who ha-;:e so cheer­ fully funzi'slzed such additional information as they possessed, in order lo make the book as com­ plete a history of the .r,•hole family as possible; and especially to Charles L.

PREFACE I~ accordance with the ancient and not yet obsolete cus­ tom of offering a prefatory word, some explanation of the plan, scope and character of the present work may acceptably find place here. This book, being a departure from the standard, may perhaps be best described by mentioning some of the points wherein it differs from other genealogical works. In the first place, it is not just a genealogical record. It is a family history. And, the early history of the family being closely interwoven with the colonial history of Pennsy 1- vania, portions of the latter have been included in order to render the former intelligible and to demonstrate its claim to interest.

  • When We Were Young: the American Philosophical Society in the 18Th Century1
    When We Were Young: The American Philosophical Society in the 18th Century1 GARY B. NASH Distinguished Research Professor University of California, Los Angeles n 2018 the American Philosophical Society celebrated its 275th anniversary, though in truth, 1743 is a shadowy date. Some think Ithe APS began in 1727, when Benjamin Franklin, at age 21—having resided in Philadelphia for less than two years since he first arrived in late 1723—convened his famous Junto of leather apron men (Figure 1). Drawing up rules for this private self-improvement group, 12 in number and limited to that size, he tasked “every Member in his Turn” to produce “one or more Queries . to be discuss’d by the Company.’’2 Among the founding group, four were from Samuel Keimer’s print shop (Franklin, Hugh Meredith, Stephen Potts, and George Webb) while the others were shoemakers (John Jones and William Parsons); a surveyor (Nicholas Scull); a scrivener (Joseph Breitnall); a carpenter (William Coleman); an ironmaker (Robert Grace); a glass maker (Thomas Godfrey); and a cabinet maker (William Mangrudge). It was a noble start, indeed an astounding venture, ushered into the world by such a youth striving to implant himself in a young river port, where Quaker merchants and landowners of growing wealth held sway.3 The APS website today claims our Society as an “offshoot” of 1 Read 26 April 2018. My thanks to the anonymous reviewers for their comments and suggestions for this paper. 2 The editors of the comprehensive edition of the Papers of Benjamin Franklin aver that Franklin had been influenced by Boston’s venerable Cotton Mather’s Essays to Do Good (1710), which proposed voluntary groups to encourage morality and religion.

THE REVOLUTIONARY AMERICAN JURY: A CASE STUDY OF THE 1778-1779 PHILADELPHIA TREASON TRIALS Carlton F.W. Larson* ABSTRACT Between September 1778 and April 1779, twenty-three men were tried in Philadelphiafor high treason against the state of Pennsylvania. These tri- als were aggressively prosecuted by the state in an atmosphere of wide- spread popular hostility to opponents of the American Revolution. Philadelphiajuries, however, convicted only four of these men, a low con- viction rate even in an age of widespread jury lenity; moreover, in three of these four cases, the juries petitioned Pennsylvania'sexecutive authority for clemency. Since it is unlikely that most of the defendants were factually innocent, these low conviction rates must be explained by other factors. This Article offers such an explanation, and, in the process, uses these trials as a case study of jury service in late eighteenth-century America.

  • Sarah Burd Yeates: a Woman of the Eighteenth Century
    Sarah Burd Yeates: A Woman of the Eighteenth Century By Doris MacPherson The eighteenth century history of Pennsylvania frequently centers upon accounts of upper class males of British descent. William Penn's colony, founded in order to provide asylum to those who like himself were persecuted for their Quaker beliefs, also welcomed other groups unable to exercise their individual religious persuasion. Penn sought to create a province in order that "an example may be set up to the nations", "a free colony for all mankind."1 Penn's personal example of respect for all people, native Americans as well as newcomers, drew sects from Wales, Holland and Germany to his haven. The atmosphere of tolerance applied equally to those who wished economic freedom. Thus, Pennsylvania from its beginning was a model of religious and ethnic diversity. Despite the influx of Welsh, Dutch and Germans, It was the Quakers and others of British background who attained economic and political dominance of the colony. In some sections of the state, this power remained in the hands of these groups through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Evidence of the prominence of the British colonists and their descendants remains visible in the form of institution, place ad street names. Their leading role in the definition of the community contributes to distortions in the history of the region. The growth and strength of this colony from its very beginning should be attributed to all groups who participated, not only to those who are conspicuous by their prominence or notoriety. With a few exceptions, those who are particularly absent from historical notice are women of all ethnic groups and social strata.
