2 50 156 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Description An account of the resource Founded in 1695, Christ Church was the first Anglican church to be established in Pennsylvania. This fulfilled the provision outlined by King Charles II in the charter he granted to William Penn in 1681 stipulating that if twenty individuals requested an Anglican clergyman the Bishop of London would appoint one. Accordingly, thirty-nine Philadelphians came together in 1695 to form Christ Church. Located on Second Street, just north of Market Street the Church transitioned from a small frame structure in its early years to the imposing Georgian structure built from 1727-1754 that still stands on the site today. Members of the Continental Congress and early government officials worshipped here and seven signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried on Church property. When the congregation grew too large to be accommodated here the vestry built St. Peter's at the southern edge of the city in 1760 and later St. James. Those United Churches remained a unit until the 1820s and 1830s. Christ Church is an active Episcopal parish today as well as a major historic site. The records consist of vestry minutes, parish records, accounting and financial records, deeds, architectural drawings, photographs, and audiovisual materials. In addition, there are materials from parish organizations and affiliated institutions such as Christ Church Hospital, Episcopal School, Christ Church Burial Ground, and Christ Church Preservation Trust.

Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Abstract A summary of the resource. This file documents the 1832 election of Reverend John W. James as Assistant Minister of Christ Church, Philadelphia, and the concurrent resignation of Reverend Dr. James Abercrombie from that office. Writing from Meadville on June 20, 1832, James responds to a committee (Charles Wheeler, Philip H. Nicklin, and John White) appointed by the Vestry, expressing initial repugnance at answering whether he would accept before election, but ultimately authorizing an affirmative answer and deferring to the Vestry's judgment on the proposed salary of seventeen hundred dollars per annum [p. 1r-1v]. On June 27, 1832, Charles Wheeler, Philip H. Nicklin, and Horace Binney request accounting warden Henry J. Hutchins to call a special Vestry meeting for the election of the assistant minister [p. 2]. A copy of the June 30, 1832 letter from the church wardens (Horace Binney and Henry J. Hutchins) informs James of his election at the meeting held the previous evening, noting that all such elections are subject to a negative by a majority of the Congregation within one month [p. 3]. In his acceptance letter of July 25, 1832, James reflects humbly on the honor and duties of the office, quoting scripture ("Who is sufficient for these things?" and "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me"), and explains that his wife's poor health and the assistant Bishop's visitation delay his arrival in Philadelphia until about the middle of September [p. 4, p. 5-6]. The file also contains correspondence relating to the resignation of Reverend Dr. James Abercrombie. On November 7, 1832, Abercrombie writes to Henry J. Hutchins agreeing to place his resignation in the hands of the Rector, understanding that his salary will be paid to that day and an annuity will commence [p. 8]. His formal letter of resignation, addressed to the Right Reverend William White, tenders his resignation as Assistant Minister [p. 9r-9v]. A copy of the extract from the Vestry minutes of November 5, 1832 records the resolution granting Abercrombie six hundred dollars per annum for life in quarterly payments, provided he resign before the ninth of the month [p. 10].

Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Abstract A summary of the resource. This grouping consists of two documents concerning the transition of leadership at the united Episcopal Churches of Christ Church and St. Peter's Church in Philadelphia in 1775. The first document [p. 1r] is a humble address from the Church-Wardens and Vestry-Men to Richard, Lord Bishop of London, reporting that the Rev. Richard Peters, D.D., their late worthy rector, had voluntarily resigned his rectorship after many years of faithful service due to his bodily infirmities. In consequence, the vestry unanimously elected the Rev. Jacob Duché, A.M., to be rector of the united churches. They note that Duché is a native of Philadelphia, known to most of them since childhood, and had officiated as assistant minister under license from the Bishop's predecessor for upwards of sixteen years (amended to fifteen) with universal approbation. They warmly recommend him for his exemplary conduct, zeal, piety, and learning, and request the Bishop's favorable approval [p. 1r]. The address is dated Philadelphia, October 30, 1775, and is subscribed by church wardens John Morgan and Jonathan Browne, along with vestrymen including Edward Shippen, Jacob Duché Sr., Joseph Swift, Benjamin Wynkoop, Thomas Cuthbert, Gerard Clarkson, Richard Willing, Samuel Powel, Peter Dehaven, James Humphreys, Peter Knight, James Reynolds, Edmund Physick, William Modell, and Alexander Wilcocks [p. 1v]. The second document [p. 2r] is the formal deed of resignation executed by Richard Peters on September 23, 1775. In it, Peters, citing his bodily infirmities and desiring to be relieved and exonerated from the burden, cure, and government of his rectory, deliberately and absolutely renounces and resigns the rectory and churches, together with all their rights, profits, members, and appurtenances, into the hands of the Church-Wardens and Vestry-Men, leaving the rectory vacant. The document is signed, sealed, and delivered in the presence of witnesses Matthew Whitehead and Jacob Diegel [p. 2r].

This collection comprises two letters directed to the Rector, Church Wardens, and Vestrymen of the United Episcopal Churches of Christ Church and St. Peter's in Philadelphia. The first letter [p. 1r], dated January 8, 1807, was written by Edward Burd and John F. Mifflin, who had been appointed as a committee by the Trustees of the University to value a lot at the corner of Ninth and Market Streets in response to the church's application to purchase it. They valued the lot—measuring 151½ feet in front on Market Street by 100 feet deep on Ninth Street to a five-foot alley—at £50 per foot. The letter also references a second lot at the northwest corner of Ninth and Chestnut Streets, measuring 94½ feet in front by 95 feet deep to a five-foot alley, which the committee valued at 90 dollars per foot [p. 1r]. The second letter [p. 1v], dated April 5, 1807, is a recommendation written by Robert Blackwell on behalf of Hugh Hill, whom Blackwell had known for many years and who had frequently worked for him. Blackwell describes Hill as honest, industrious, sober, religious, and worthy, noting that he was a pew holder and communicant of St. Peter's Church [p. 1v].

In the first letter, Horace Binney writes to Mr. Charles N.

Binney explains that the paper's design, which has the entire approbation of the Bishop whose name heads one list, would introduce a great improvement in church music if carried into effect, and emphasizes that dispatch is a very great object because the engraver has no leisure for the work except in the following months [p.1]. The second letter, from the City Commissioners' Office in Philadelphia dated November 30, 1815 and signed by City Commissioner Thomas Hirst, requires the Rector, Wardens and Vestry of the Protestant Episcopal Churches of Christ and St. Peter's to have the footway opposite their lot at Pine and Fourth streets well paved within twenty days, in accordance with the ordinances of the Select and Common Councils passed May 22, 1797, and October 1, 1811 [p.2].

Abstract A summary of the resource. This file contains two letters addressed to William Meredith in the spring of 1829. The first letter, dated March 19, 1829, is from James Abercrombie, who expresses immense gratitude for Meredith's financial aid (noted as $50), stating that he had been "rendered pennyless" and that Meredith's help was "Knights service" [p. 1]. The second letter, dated May 9, 1829, is signed by James Abercrombie and Jackson Kemper concerning Mr. Brown, the Sexton of St. Peter's Church. They inform Meredith that despite Brown's "past general neglect of duty," he has acknowledged his improper conduct and promised "the most unremitted attention in future." They state they will not oppose the committee giving Brown a trial period until the next Vestry meeting, under penalty of removal upon the first complaint [p. 2r-2v].

Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Abstract A summary of the resource. This group of two documents from 1806 concerns the administration of the estate of the late Mrs. Dobbins (also rendered Dobbin and Dubree) and a legacy bequeathed to the charitable institution represented by Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.). In a letter dated May 29, 1806, from Charleston, South Carolina, Henry William De Saussure acknowledges receipt of a letter of the 6th instant addressed to Judge Johnson and himself, requesting them to act under a power of attorney authorizing them to receive the legacy and give receipts on behalf of the charitable institution. De Saussure expresses confidence that Judge Johnson will cheerfully undertake the duty and pledges to attend to the business once the courts adjourn [p.1]. The second document, dated December 17, 1806, is a copy of a letter from William Tilghman and Thomas Cumpston (also noted as Thomas Leaming) in Philadelphia to William Johnson and H. W. De Saussure in Charleston. It thanks them for their letter of October 27 and, after consultation with the Vestry, agrees to accede to Mr. Jones's proposal of assigning uncollected debts and receiving a general release and indemnification against future demands against the estate of Mr. Dubree. The writers offer either to have the Vestry give a bond of indemnity directly to Mr. Jones or, if the correspondents prefer, to become responsible to him themselves [p.2r]. The letter further notes that the Vestry concluded to allow Mr. Jones $500 for his trouble in managing Mr. Dobbins's estate, including legal commissions, emphasizing their duty as trustees of a charitable institution to be economical. Acknowledging that the correspondents held $2,200 available for drawing, the writers drew a bill for that sum payable at ten days' sight to the order of George Simpson, Cashier of the Bank of the United States [p.2v].

This fulfilled the provision outlined by King Charles II in the charter he granted to William Penn in 1681 stipulating that if twenty individuals requested an Anglican clergyman the Bishop of London would appoint one. Accordingly, thirty-nine Philadelphians came together in 1695 to form Christ Church. Located on Second Street, just north of Market Street the Church transitioned from a small frame structure in its early years to the imposing Georgian structure built from 1727-1754 that still stands on the site today. Members of the Continental Congress and early government officials worshipped here and seven signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried on Church property. When the congregation grew too large to be accommodated here the vestry built St. Peter's at the southern edge of the city in 1760 and later St. James. Those United Churches remained a unit until the 1820s and 1830s. Christ Church is an active Episcopal parish today as well as a major historic site. The records consist of vestry minutes, parish records, accounting and financial records, deeds, architectural drawings, photographs, and audiovisual materials. In addition, there are materials from parish organizations and affiliated institutions such as Christ Church Hospital, Episcopal School, Christ Church Burial Ground, and Christ Church Preservation Trust.

Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Abstract A summary of the resource. This work comprises two documents relating to Christ Church, Philadelphia. In the first, Henry J. Hutchins addresses the Rector, Churchwardens, and Vestrymen, resigning all offices he has held for some years, as he is about to leave the city to reside elsewhere. He states that he has made out his accounts as Warden, as treasurer of the Charity fund, and as treasurer of the Committee on H. Rigby's legacy, and that he has asked Moses Kempton to serve as acting Warden and Treasurer until the close of the Church year on Easter Monday, April 20, when Wardens and other officers would be elected [p.1]. On April 27, when annual committees are appointed, these accounts would be handed in. Hutchins expresses affectionate wishes for the future prosperity of the congregation. The second document is a letter from Thomas C. James, dated December 17, 1835, addressed to Moses Kempton, in which James—recovering from a violent cold—requests his quarter's salary sooner than expected, asking that a young man cash the check (the whole or part, say $200) and bring it to his house. He notes his intention to stay indoors through the week and expresses regret at having been too unwell to receive Kempton on an earlier visit [p.2r]. The remaining pages contain miscellaneous financial calculations [p.2r, p.2v].

In this letter dated July 6, 1805, from Philadelphia, James Abercrombie writes to Thomas Cumpston to appeal for financial assistance [Image 1]. Abercrombie states that the same necessity which compelled him to address a letter to Cumpston some days earlier now more forcibly urges him to send his son out to Cumpston's country seat to learn the success of his application [Image 1]. He notes that he has refrained from troubling Cumpston as long as he possibly could, but that demands for money have become so very imperious that he is forced to appeal to Cumpston's benevolence for relief [Image 1].

This collection consists of two letters written in 1827 by the Reverend Dr. James Abercrombie, assistant minister of the United Churches of Philadelphia, to John Read, President of the Bank of Philadelphia, soliciting financial assistance. In the first letter, dated Thursday, 25 January 1827, Abercrombie writes that "Necessity once more compels me to be a solicitor," explaining that he is pressed for rent and "pennyless at home," and requesting $100 [p.1]. Accompanying this letter is a receipt dated 25 January 1827 acknowledging $80 received from John Read, accounting warden, on account of Abercrombie's salary as assistant minister in the United Churches, due 10 April next, signed by Charles H. Clarkson for Dr. Abercrombie [p.1]. The second letter, dated 16 February 1827, again appeals to Read for aid, invoking the phrase "res angusta domi" and requesting whatever sum he can spare [p.2r]. A receipt dated 17 February 1827 acknowledges $60 received from Samuel Read, accounting church warden, as further part of Abercrombie's salary due 10 April next. A tally records the payments of $80 (25 January) and $60 (17 February), totaling $140, signed by Charles F. Clarkson for Dr. Abercrombie [p.2v].

In the first letter, James explains that his move to and settlement in Philadelphia involved expenses he had not anticipated, which had embarrassed him financially; having exhausted his own private means without full relief, he asks the Vestry for an appropriation of three hundred dollars for his benefit, noting that his regular salary was meant only to meet current yearly expenses and not the additional cost of establishing residence in a city and serving a large, respectable parish [p.1]. A docket note records that the Vestry granted $100 for the present [p.1]. In the second letter, James proposes several improvements for the benefit of the church. First, he recommends reconfiguring the galleries with single pews or slips, regularly divided, to improve comfort, convenience, appearance, and the number and value of sittings, believing more seats would be rented if arranged as in other churches [p.2]. Second, he addresses the inadequate accommodations of the Sunday Schools, describing the fatiguing access and insufficient dimensions of the female school room, an interesting infant class of 40 little girls taught in the church under disadvantageous circumstances, and the crowded conditions of the boys' school; he calls for at least three new spacious departments, citing that St. Peter's Church purchased a neighboring house, St. James Church built rooms, and Trinity Church was then arranging a building solely for its Sunday Schools. He notes about thirty teachers serving sixty or seventy children with no inducement but a sense of duty [p.2-4]. Third, he draws attention to the valuable Christ Church Library, which had suffered loss and damage from neglect and was kept in a room too small for use; he suggests a larger room with locked cases opened regularly for those with right of access, and offers to undertake its care and the recovery of lost volumes himself [p.3-4]. Fourth, among smaller matters, he notes that the fixtures for kneeling around the altar were so bad as to cause communicants a strained and uncomfortable position during a holy rite [p.4-5]. He submits these matters respectfully to the Vestry's judgment [p.5]. A docket note records that a committee was appointed to attend to these objects and report later [p.5].

Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Abstract A summary of the resource. This collection documents Joseph Dobbins's charitable bequest to Christ Church's fund for distressed widows in 1789. Writing from Sherriff Hall on Wappoo, four miles from Charleston, South Carolina, Dobbins addresses Bishop William White, Rev. Robert Blackwell, and church warden Robert Towers regarding his offer to donate property for the benefit of Dr. John Kearsley's Bounty for poor distressed widows [image 1, image 3]. Dobbins specifies that he is donating a lot on 5th Street, property near the Schuylkill River (No. 4 from Schuylkill), and approximately 500 pounds held by his friend John Drinker [image 3]. In exchange, Dobbins requests a quarterly annuity of forty Spanish Mexican dollars for his lifetime, with the annuity ceasing upon his death [image 1, image 3]. The collection includes a copy of Dobbins's original letter dated January 28, 1789, along with an acknowledgment from William White, Robert Blackwell, and Robert Towers accepting the offer on behalf of the United Churches of Christ Church and St. Peters [image 3]. A subsequent letter from Dobbins dated September 8, 1789, expresses his concern about delays in finalizing the arrangement and his insistence on receiving payment in Mexican silver dollars rather than bills of exchange or depreciated paper money, noting the unfavorable exchange rates in Charleston where guineas sold at 22 shillings and cut gold at 6 shillings 8 pence per pennyweight [image 7]. Dobbins also mentions additional debts owed by Mr. Hamilton and Paul Esling that should be added to the fund [image 7].

The writers, acting as attorneys for the Society (likely the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts), inform the Society of an agreement with Thomas Penn's agents for a lot of land in Philadelphia. The letter notes a generous donation by Reverend Richard Peters to enlarge the lot, with a portion dedicated to St. Peter's Church. The authors also request permission to hold the title locally rather than in the Society's name to simplify the future management and collection of ground rents.

The attorney's letter to the Society Abstract A summary of the resource. This draft letter, dated January 12, 1762, from the attorneys of the Society to a Reverend Sir, concerns the acquisition of land in Philadelphia to support the Parson of Christ Church. The attorneys acknowledge receipt of the Society's letter of attorney authorizing them to contract for lands worth £300 sterling to be vested in the Society for the perpetual use of the Parson of Christ Church [p.1r]. They report agreeing with Thomas Penn's agents for a lot in the city and enclose a plot of it [p.1r]. The letter notes that Reverend Richard Peters, late Secretary to the Proprietor and Governor, generously offered £100 sterling and proposed to raise a like sum through voluntary contributions to enlarge the purchased lot, with two-fifths of the larger lot to be settled and vested for the use of the Parson of St. Peter's Church, newly erected in the city [p.1r]. The attorneys entered into articles of agreement with the Proprietor's agents for the purchase of this great lot in the name of the Society, but declined for the present to receive the title deed in full form until they could obtain the Society's further advice and approbation [p.1r]. The attorneys anticipate practical difficulties in carrying out the charity: the great lot must be divided and let into smaller lots under perpetual ground rents, tenants may prove troublesome and refuse payment, the Society's attorney may die, and lawsuits may be required to recover rents, with no attorney from the Society present locally to prosecute [p.1r]. They therefore request the Society's advice and consent to receive the title in the name of the Corporation in the city, promising to transmit an exemplified copy of the deed [p.1v]. Finally, having ratified the agreement by sealing articles, the attorneys ask the Society to order a transfer of the £300 in New South Sea Annuities Stock to Thomas Penn, whose agent has agreed to accept it in payment for the lot [p.1v].

William White, D.D., Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Pennsylvania, complaining that he has not received an annuity as expected under a contract. Dobbins states that White and two other gentlemen promised punctual quarterly payments after the first twelve months; he reports receiving $150 via Capt. Strong and being offered $160 via Capt. Williamson, but he refused until a regular quarterly payment method was adopted [image 1]. He recounts complaining to Mr. Hasselhurst, who offered to pay him the whole amount, but Dobbins declines to place himself under obligation to anyone other than the gentlemen responsible for the annuity [image 1]. He asks that matters be ordered so the money is paid according to contract by a reliable person such as Mr. Hasselhurst, “and not by Pedlers,” and addresses the letter also to Mr. Blackwell and Robt. Towers [image 2]. A later annotation notes “Joseph Dobbins 22 Decr 1787 Philada” [image 2].

Abstract A summary of the resource. William Chaderton writes from Burlington, New Jersey, to William Meredith, Esq., of Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, to fulfill his promise of transmitting his final answer regarding the offer of a one-year appointment as an Assistant Minister in the United Churches in Philadelphia [p. 1r]. Chaderton states that his determination—the only one he considers consistent with prudence at the present moment—is that he would supply the vacant office for four Sundays (the 16th through 19th Sundays after Trinity), and would hold himself bound to state conclusively, at least a week before the expiration of this term, whether he could accept the offer [p. 1r-1v]. He closes with expressions of regard and respect. Marginal notations record that the letter was received July 6 and answered July 11 [p. 1v].

Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Abstract A summary of the resource. This memorandum, drafted by Samuel Wheeler, documents business conducted on behalf of Christ Church on April 18, 1809, by Thomas Cumpston, Samuel Wheeler, and Peter Dehaven; Peter Browne was indisposed and could not attend [p.1r]. The party traveled to Samuel Dehaven's residence in Lower Merion Township near the Gulf Mill to address a bond for 200 dollars that Dehaven had given to Paul Webb, which had gone missing. Dehaven was initially unwilling to pay without the bond, but after his sons Moses, Samuel, and Peter joined the discussion, the parties compromised: the church representatives supplied a bond of indemnification securing Dehaven and his heirs against future liability, and Dehaven gave a note payable in six months with lawful interest [p.1r]. The group then continued to Norristown, where they entered satisfaction at the Recorder's Office for money that Paul Webb had lent to Jesse Roberts. Although the money had been repaid before Webb's death, Webb had never acknowledged its receipt in the Recorder's Office, making it necessary for his executors to complete the record. The remaining collection of moneys and other matters concerning Paul Webb's estate were left in the care of Mr. Pawling, a lawyer, who agreed to render an account when called upon [p.1r].
