It does though contain information uncovered while researching other Potts and iron industry papers during the last twenty-five years. The primary or original information included in the document came from several major locations: the Pottstown Historical Society, Pottsgrove Manor, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore College, Winterthur, the Hagley Museum and Library, and the Chester County Historical Society and Archives. Secondary source information came from a large number of locations including: the Library of Congress, the Daughters of the American Revolution Library in Washington, D.C., the Wyoming County Historical Society, the Historical Society of Berks County, the Montgomery County Historical Society and Hopewell Furnace National Historical Site. This paper is a companion to a paper I completed in 2003 entitled Samuel Savage Sr. (c1655- 1707), Stonemason, and Descendants of Philadelphia, Berks and Chester Counties, Pennsylvania, Through Four Generations. That paper documented John Potts’ wife’s family. Because of the Savage/Rutter intermarriages with the Potts family, many of the individuals found in this paper are also in that paper. The Savage paper should be consulted for further information on the Savage family. The paper was originally started to help me with other research. In 2003 I began working with Rachael Onuff on a finding aid for the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. While I knew which of John Potts’s sons and sons-in-law were involved in the iron industry and which ironworks they were involved with, I realized very quickly as I was doing sketches of the works, I did not know his grandson’s generation as well as I needed. As I have previously stated, the Potts and Rutter families in the generations I have been searching were fairly unimaginative in naming their offspring. Numerous iron companies of cousins named Potts & Rutter or Rutter & Potts with their Johns, Davids, and Samuels and a Thomas or two, mny with the middle names of Rutter or Potts (e.g. John Potts Rutter and John Rutter Potts) required more knowledge than I had. I must admit, I did not originally anticipate or appreciate the scope of the project when I started. John Potts, plainly put, had a lot of descendants and it took me longer to finish the paper than expected. Thomas Potts, John’s oldest son alone had thirty-five grandchildren and eighty-eight great-grandchildren. His brother, Samuel Potts had fifty-one grandchildren and 126 great- grandchildren. Coupled with the family’s proclivity to marry cousins and the naming problems mentioned above, it was three years in the making. But that said, in the larger sense, this paper is the culmination of thirty papers and twenty-five years of researching the John Potts family, all of which should be consulted for further information. The genealogical, biographical and historical data obtained during my research on the Potts family and their “kin,” the Rutter, Savage, Hockley, Dewees and May families, and their various iron industry endeavors, are presented here. There have been two good biographies of John Potts. One, while not its primary purpose, appeared in a Penn State doctorial dissertation in 1974 by Linda McCurdy, entitled The Potts Family Iron Industry in the Schuylkill Valley. The second was a biographical sketch that appeared in 2005 in Volume III of Lawmaking and Legislators in Pennsylvania: a Biographical Dictionary, which was edited by Craig W. Horle. This write-up is the first real biography on Potts and it is excellent. Two other documents were consulted for basic genealogical information. As with any genealogical paper involving the Pottstown, Pennsylvania Potts family, the 1874 Potts Memorial by Isabella (Batchelder) James is a required source and provides a baseline of genealogical data from which to draw. The information presented there forms the basis of this paper. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Collection 520, has about 600 items including correspondence with various members of the Thomas Potts family, papers, notes, proofs, and original manuscripts gathered by Mrs. James during the writing of "The Potts Memorial." I used this information to supplement the information found in the Memorial itself. In addition to the Memorial, Bill Brobst of the Pottstown Manor gave me a copy of a Potts genealogy that predated it. Originally compiled by William B. Potts (1802-1855) in the 1850s, this original genealogy has been hand copied by several descendants and numerous versions exist. I have seen three and each one

    College ILttirarjj FROM THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT ' THROUGH £> VICKSBURG NATIONAL MILITARY PARK COMMISSION. RECORD OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED IN THE CAMPAIGN, SIEGE, AND DEFENSE OF VICKSBURG. COMPILED FROM THE OFFICIAL RECORDS BY jomsr s. KOUNTZ, SECRETARY AND HISTORIAN OF THE COMMISSION. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1901. PREFACE. The Vicksburg campaign opened March 29, 1863, with General Grant's order for the advance of General Osterhaus' division from Millikens Bend, and closed July 4^, 1863, with the surrender of Pem- berton's army and the city of Vicksburg. Its course was determined by General Grant's plan of campaign. This plan contemplated the march of his active army from Millikens Bend, La. , to a point on the river below Vicksburg, the running of the batteries at Vicksburg by a sufficient number of gunboats and transports, and the transfer of his army to the Mississippi side. These points were successfully accomplished and, May 1, the first battle of the campaign was fought near Port Gibson. Up to this time General Grant had contemplated the probability of uniting the army of General Banks with his. He then decided not to await the arrival of Banks, but to make the cam paign with his own army. May 12, at Raymond, Logan's division of Grant's army, with Crocker's division in reserve, was engaged with Gregg's brigade of Pemberton's army. Gregg was largely outnum bered and, after a stout fight, fell back to Jackson. The same day the left of Grant's army, under McClernand, skirmished at Fourteen- mile Creek with the cavalry and mounted infantry of Pemberton's army, supported by Bowen's division and two brigades of Loring's division.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

  • The Case of 1)On Joseph Cabrera
    Prologue to Impeachment: The Case of 1)on Joseph Cabrera HE story of the attempt by the Pennsylvania Assembly to impeach and remove Governor Thomas McKean in Decem- Tber 1808 is a familiar one. So, too, is that of William Duane's ^Aurora in promoting and orchestrating the final political strategems against the embattled Governor. But little attention has been paid to the case of Don Joseph Cabrera, a prime catalyst in Duane's determination to truncate McKean's public career.1 If the legal community in Philadelphia was drawn to the Cabrera matter be- cause of questions it raised regarding the "law of nations/' Duane's preoccupation with it went well beyond that narrow concern. In the political and legal circumstances surrounding the Spaniard's arrest and incarceration Duane glimpsed most of the themes that later constituted the basis for his impeachment campaign against McKean. Not only did the Cabrera affair identify for Duane arbitrary and illegal conduct on the part of the Governor and members of his family, but he recognized in it an excellent vehicle by which to draw public attention to "unrepublican" manifestations, epitomized by McKean, then besetting Pennsylvania society. The case began innocuously enough. During the summer of 1804 two checks in the name of the Spanish Minister to the United 1 Standard secondary accounts include Sanford W. Higginbotham, The Keystone in the Democratic Arch: Pennsylvania Politics, 1800-1816 (Harrisburg, 1952); James H. Peeling, "The Public Life of Thomas McKean, 1734-1817" (doctoral dissertation, University of Chicago, 1929); Peeling, "Governor McKean and the Pennsylvania Jacobins," The Pennsyl- vania Magazine of History and Biography (PMHB), LIV (1930), 320-354; G.
