Ingham correspondence Summary Information Repository University of Pennsylvania: Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts Creator Ingham, Samuel D. (Samuel Delucenna), 1779-1860 Title Samuel D. Ingham correspondence Call number Ms. Coll. 889 Date [inclusive] 1734-1910 Extent 6 boxes Language English Abstract The Samuel D. Ingham correspondence comprises letters predominantly as well as other papers relating to Ingham and his life. The majority of the collection is correspondence either written by Ingham, to him, or to and from other political figures. Important subsets of the correspondence addressed to Ingham include letters regarding the Peggy Eaton Affair, a 1831 scandal that led to the resignation of President Jackson's entire cabinent (including then Secretary of the Treasury Ingham), as well as a series of letters from President Jackson to his Secretary of the Treasury. There are two letterbooks containing copies of letters from Ingham to others, particularly centered on but not limited to his time as Secretary of the Treasury. Other materials include postcards of Ingham's home and grave, published speeches by Ingham, a biography written by his son William Armstrong Ingham, and newspapers with articles regarding him. - Page 3 - Samuel D. Ingham correspondence Cite as: Samuel D. Ingham correspondence, Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, University of Pennsylvania Biography/History Samuel Delucenna Ingham was born on 16 September 1779 in New Hope, Pennsylvania; he was the eldest son of Dr. Jonathan Ingham and his wife, Ann Welding. Samuel Ingham's great-grandfather, Jonas Ingham, had immigrated to the United States from England in 1705, establishing himself in Bucks County, where his son Jonathan developed property at Great Spring. Dr. Jonathan Ingham was well- educated, particularly versed in classical studies, and took over the mill and farm work the family had established. Dr. Ingham was also involved in support of the American Revolution and Republican Whig politics in the aftermath. These interests would influence the education of Samuel, although his formal education was cut short at the age of fourteen. His father fied, and his mother sent him to be apprenticed to a papermaker on the Pennypack Creek. Samuel continued to educate himself through reading, as well as through a friendship with a local math teacher. He married Rebbeca Dodd in 1800, around the time (at 21 years old) he took over the family estate and enhanced it with a papermill. Ingham began to be involved in local Democratic Republican meetings, through which he rose in politics. From 1806 to 1808 he was elected to the Pennsylvania Legislature, and afterwards was appointed Justice of the Peace by the governor, while continuing to be involved in familial and local business. In 1812 he was elected to the United States House of Representatives, in which he served until 1818. During this period of his time in Congress, Ingham was involved in several committees, particularly those in regards to the Post Office. He retired in 1818 to be with his ailing wife, who passed away in 1819. In 1822 he remarried, to Deborah Kay Hall, and was re-elected to Congress. In 1829, while still in Congress, Ingham was appointed Secretary of the Treasury by the new president, Andrew Jackson, a position he would hold only until 1831, when the Peggy Eaton Affair divided the cabinent and in turn all members resigned. After leaving the cabinent, Ingham returned to the farm and mills of his family estate and was again involved in local business affairs, particularly those involving coal. In 1849 he moved to Trenton, New Jersey. Samuel Delucenna Ingham died in Trenton on 5 June 1860; he was buried in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. - Page 4 - Samuel D.

  • John Fulton Reynolds
    John Fulton Reynolds By COL. JOHN FULTON REYNOLDS SCOTT ( U. S. Army, retired ) Grand-nephew of General Reynolds I CAME here to give a talk on John Fulton Reynolds, and as I have sat here this evening I really feel superfluous. The stu- dents of this school have certainly outdone themselves in their essays on that subject, and I feel that what I may add is more or less duplication. For the sake of the record I will do my best to make a brief talk, and to try to fill in some of the gaps in Reynolds' life which have been left out because some of them have not yet been published. As you have heard, John Reynolds was the second son of the nine children of John Reynolds and Lydia Moore. Lydia Moore's ancestry was entirely Irish. Her father came from Rathmelton, Ireland, served as a captain at Brandywine with the 3rd Penn- sylvania. Infantry of the Continental Line, where he was wounded; also served at Germantown and at Valley Forge, and was then retired. Her mother was Irish on both sides of her family, and the Reynolds family itself was Irish, but, of course, the Huguenot strain came in through John Reynolds' own mother, who was a LeFever and a great-granddaughter of Madam Ferree of Paradise. Our subject was born on September 21, 1820, at 42 West King Street, Lancaster, and subsequently went to the celebrated school at Lititz, conducted by the grandfather of the presiding officer of this meeting, Dr. Herbert H. Beck. I have a letter written by John F.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 444 917 SO 031 912 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin; Parker, Betty J. TITLE General Robert E. Lee (1807-70) and Philanthropist George Peabody (1795-1869) at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, July 23-Aug. 30, 1869. PUB DATE 2000-00-00 NOTE 33p. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Civil War (United States); *Donors; *Meetings; *Private Financial Support; *Public History; Recognition (Achievement); *Reconstruction Era IDENTIFIERS Biodata; Lee (Robert E); *Peabody (George) ABSTRACT This paper discusses the chance meeting at White Sulphur Springs (West Virginia) of two important public figures, Robert E. Lee and George Peabody, whose rare encounter marked a symbolic turn from Civil War bitterness toward reconciliation and the lifting power of education. The paper presents an overview of Lee's life and professional and military career followed by an overview of Peabody's life and career as a banker, an educational philanthropist, and one who endowed seven Peabody Institute libraries. Both men were in ill health when they visited the Greenbrier Hotel in the summer of 1869, but Peabody had not long to live and spent his time confined to a cottage where he received many visitors. Peabody received a resolution of praise from southern dignitaries which read, in part: "On behalf of the southern people we tender thanks to Mr. Peabody for his aid to the cause of education...and hail him benefactor." A photograph survives that shows Lee, Peabody, and William Wilson Corcoran sitting together at the Greenbrier. Reporting that Lee's own illness kept him from attending Peabody's funeral, the paper describes the impressive and prolonged international services in 1870.

This article examines and questions the conventional view of the conference as a challenge to President Lincoln's efficacy as the nation's leader. Rather, the article suggests that Lincoln may have actually welcomed the conference and had his own designs for how it might bolster his political objectives.

  • Views, and Even Less Did He Attempt Novelty in the Method of Treatment
    12 American Antiquarian Society. [April, REPOET OF THE COUNCIL. THERE is little for the Council to mention in the history of the Society during the last six months that is not containe^l in the reports of the Treasurer and the Librarian, which form a part of its report, excepting to present notices of deceased members, and offer the usual historical study. It may be well, however, to call attention to the fact that a new iron stack has been placed in the lower hall of the building of the Society, and to state that that is the rooni which the late Mr. Salisbury thought might sometime be occupied by a public library for the city of Worcester. It is an interesting commentary on the growth of that city, and on the increased importance of this institution, that the libraries of the two corporations have each of them 100,000 volumes, and that while the American Antiquarian Society will soon be pressed for. room in which to store its books and manuscripts, the Free Public Library has none too much room for carrying on its work in the extensivo and commodious pile of buildings put up for its acconnmoda- tion by the municipality which it serves. It is said that death loves a shining mark. Tbe first of our number to die after the last meeting was Hon. Eobert C. Winthrop. In the order of election he was our old- est member and had always been a warm friend of the Society. Most of the gentlemen present to-day recall the touching scene four years ago when Mr.

  • Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York
    Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York Compiled by R.’.W.’. Gary L. Heinmiller Director, Onondaga & Oswego Masonic Districts Historical Societies (OMDHS) www.omdhs.syracusemasons.com February 2010 Almost all of the land west of the Genesee River, including all of present day Wyoming County, was part of the Holland Land Purchase in 1793 and was sold through the Holland Land Company's office in Batavia, starting in 1801. Genesee County was created by a splitting of Ontario County in 1802. This was much larger than the present Genesee County, however. It was reduced in size in 1806 by creating Allegany County; again in 1808 by creating Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Niagara Counties. Niagara County at that time also included the present Erie County. In 1821, portions of Genesee County were combined with portions of Ontario County to create Livingston and Monroe Counties. Genesee County was further reduced in size in 1824 by creating Orleans County. Finally, in 1841, Wyoming County was created from Genesee County. Considering the history of Freemasonry in Genesee County one must keep in mind that through the years many of what originally appeared in Genesee County are now in one of other country which were later organized from it. Please refer to the notes below in red, which indicate such Lodges which were originally in Genesee County and would now be in another county. Lodge Numbers with an asterisk are presently active as of 2004, the most current Proceedings printed by the Grand Lodge of New York, as the compiling of this data. Lodges in blue are or were in Genesee County.
