Introduction A collection of truly national importance, the Tilghman Family Papers contain

close to 7,500 items, among them letters, scrapbooks, letterbooks, and

photographs. The collection is an invaluable resource for the years leading up to,

and those that witnessed, the American Revolution, the first steps of the national

government in Philadelphia, the creation of the state governments of both

Maryland and Pennsylvania, and the Industrial Revolution. This collection is

particularly strong with regard to prominent Loyalists. Among the correspondents

of Richard, Edward, Edward II, James, Tench, and William Tilghman—to name

only a few—were George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Robert Morris.

The Tilghman Family Papers contain not only evidence of the great affairs and

prominent figures of the burgeoning nation, but also a window into daily life in

early America. These papers provide a glimpse into the lives of plantation owners

and slaves, the military, the world of rebels and loyalists, legal practice,

manufacturing, the public and private lives of women, and the world of one of the

founding families of the United States, the Tilghmans. Compilation of this

collection was largely the hard work of William McMurtrie Tilghman (b. 1815), a

prominent Philadelphia lawyer and secretary of the Schuylkill Navigation

Company, who was an avid genealogist and family historian.

Biographical Sketches

The Tilghmans

The Tilghmans of America descend from Dr. Richard Tilghman (1626-1675) who,

with his wife Mary, came to America in 1660 and settled at "The Hermitage,"

originally a four-hundred acre farm, in Queen Ann's County, Maryland. His son

Richard Tilghman (1672-1738) married Anna Maria Lloyd (1676-1748), daughter

of Philemon Lloyd (d. 1685). Their son, Edward (I) (1713-1786), married first

Anna Maria Turbett, then Elizabeth Chew (I) (b. 1720), with whom he had seven

children. Their fourth child, Edward (II) (1750-1815), married Elizabeth Chew (II)

3

(1751-1842). Their second son, Benjamin (b. 1785), married Anna Maria

McMurtrie of Philadelphia. They had eight children, two of whom, Benjamin

Chew Tilghman (1821-1901) and Richard A. Tilghman (1823-1899), produced

much of the latter portion of the material in this collection.

Edward Tilghman (I) (1713-1786): Edward Tilghman of Wye, the fourth son of

Colonel Richard Tilghman (1672-1738), was a judge and High Sheriff of Queen

Anne's County. He was also a member of the Maryland State Assembly. Edward

kept a detailed and complete record of most aspects of life at his Wye River

plantation in Corsica Hundred. His accounts from 1740 to 1785 contain

information about the cost of building, furnishing, and maintaining his home, about

crops of wheat and tobacco, his annual net worth, and the cost for maintaining

slaves per year. Much of his material within the collection consists of

correspondence with his son, Edward Jr. He married first Anna Maria Turbett, then

Elizabeth Chew (I), and finally Juliana Carroll.

Edward Tilghman, Jr. (II) (1750-1815): The third son by Edward (I)'s second

wife, Elizabeth Chew, Edward Tilghman Jr., like many of the Tilghman men,

studied law at the Middle Temple in England (1772-1774). Upon his return to the

colonies, Edward Jr. became a prominent lawyer in Philadelphia, handling cases

such as the William Cobbett libel trial and the issue of Robert Morris' land

speculation. He also became a member of the Continental Congress. Of particular

interest among his papers are letters to his father from the Middle Temple, so many

of which provide a firsthand account of English sentiment on the eve of the

Revolution. He married his cousin, Elizabeth Chew (II).

Benjamin Tilghman (III) (1785-c.1852): Son of Edward Jr., Benjamin was

a lawyer and merchant in Philadelphia. Most of the items relating to him

reflect his mercantile career and interest in land investment. He married

Anna McMurtrie (1787-1872).

William McMurtrie Tilghman (1815-1900): Son of Benjamin III

and Anna McMurtrie. Though he studied law in the 1840s, William

did not limit himself to a legal profession, but participated in various

projects of his brothers, Benjamin Chew II and Richard Albert. He

eventually took up the office of Secretary of the Schuylkill Navigation

Company. William was the family historian, and it is largely thanks to

him that this collection survives today. Much of his material relates to

Tilghman genealogy. He married Catherine Ingersoll (d. 1861).

4

James Tilghman (1716-1793): The fifth son of Colonel Richard Tilghman, James

was a Loyalist, though one whose fortunes survived the Revolution intact due to

his compliance with colonial orders to remain in Chestertown. James was a

delegate to the Stamp Act Congress in 1765. The following year he became the

secretary of the Penn family's land office, where he not only made land purchase

treaties with Native Americans, but also took part against the settlers in the

Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania during the "Pennamite Wars." Within his series

are records concerning his nephew James (b. 1742), son of William, a merchant in

Alexandria, Virginia; James' son James (b. 1748); and another nephew named

James (b. 1743), son of Richard III, a lawyer in Queen Anne's County, Maryland.

James Tilghman married Ann, daughter of Tench Francis, in 1743.

Tench Tilghman (1744-1786): Son of James. Best known as an aide-de-

camp and close friend of General George Washington, Colonel Tench

Tilghman, before 1775, had been a merchant in Philadelphia. Such was

Tench's value in Washington's eyes that he was chosen to deliver the news

of Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown to Congress. Though Tench and his

father differed in their political outlook, the two men continued to

correspond during the war. In 1783 Tench married his cousin, Anna Maria

Tilghman, with whom he had two daughters. Tench left the military for

business and worked for a time with Robert Morris.

Richard "East India Dick" Tilghman (1746-1786): Son of James (1716-

1793). Richard Tilghman, affectionately nick-named "East India Dick" by

his family for his work with the East India Company, went to London in the

late 1760s to study law at the Middle Temple. In 1777 Richard became

Advocate for Bengal with the East India Company and left for India. He was

there until 1780, returning to London for reasons of health, but was forced

back to Bengal in 1783. Several years later Richard sailed once again for

Europe, but died en route. Among his papers are those concerned with the

settlement of his estate (c. 1799), his natural daughter Elizabeth, or "Betsy"

(who became a ward of James upon the death of his son), and those

documents pertaining to his experience with the East India Company.

William Tilghman (1756-1827): Son of James. At the height of his career

William was Chief Judge of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in

Philadelphia. Like his father James and elder brother Philemon, William was

a Loyalist. Philemon left the colonies with Maryland's last Proprietary

Governor Robert Eden and joined the royal navy. William remained behind.

Both he and his father were paroled to their Maryland plantations by 1777,

5

later going on trial to regain their rights and property. James' parole and

William's record of trial are part of the collection (see Boxes 8 and 11

respectively).William married Margaret Elizabeth Allen in 1794.

Matthew Tilghman (1717-1790) Maryland's "Father of the Revolution," Matthew

Tilghman was not only a delegate to the Continental Congress (1774-1776), but

presided over it in 1776. His reports to his brother James about behind-the-scenes

negotiations provide a unique glimpse of the Congress. Locally, he was one of

those who helped transform Maryland from a province into a state, even

contributing language to the Maryland Constitution. In 1741 he married his first

cousin Anne, a daughter of James Lloyd (d. 1723).

Benjamin Chew Tilghman (1821-1901) The son of Benjamin Tilghman, a

lawyer, and Anna Maria McMurtrie, Benjamin Chew Tilghman studied law, but

joined his brother Richard in business. They engaged in a series of scientific and

technological experiments that produced several commercial ventures, most

successfully a sand-blasting business they began in 1870. This work took them to

England, where they had plants in Sheffield and Manchester, as well as elsewhere

in continental Europe. Benjamin Chew Tilghman fought in the Civil War and was

wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 3, 1863. Upon recovery he took

command of the Third U.S. Colored Regiment out of Philadelphia. After the war

Benjamin rejoined Richard. Benjamin oversaw the "Tilghman Patent Sand Blast

Company, Ltd.," while his brother Richard ran the BC and RA Tilghman Company

in America. Benjamin's nephews, Benjamin Chew Tilghman II and Richard A.

Tilghman Jr. took over the business upon the death of their father.

Richard A. Tilghman (1824-1899) Richard A. Tilghman was the son of Benjamin

Tilghman, a lawyer, and Anna Maria McMurtrie. Upon completing college in

1841, Richard pursued chemistry and its commercial applications with his brother

Benjamin Chew Tilghman. His first patent, in 1843, was a process to improve the

manufacture of potassium dichromate or "chrome yellow." In time he licensed the

process to the Baltimore Chrome Works. Richard was also interested in the power

of steam, hydrolysis, and producing gas from coal. Richard's success invited

imitators and in 1859 he fought a long case against Proctor & Gamble for

infringement upon his hydrolysis patents. Richard and Benjamin, while partners,

were separated from 1844 as each handled different aspects of their business. They

corresponded constantly, however, and their letters comprise a sizable portion of

the latter material in the collection. Richard married Susan Price Toland in 1860.

6

Benjamin Chew Tilghman (V) (1861-1911): Son of Richard Albert, named

for his uncle, Benjamin Chew II, Benjamin Chew Tilghman followed his

namesake in combining business and a military career. As a young man, he

worked in the sand blast company, but took over the B.C. and R.A.

Tilghman Company when his father died. His records include two indexed

letterpress books, business letters, and items of personal interest to him, such

as pamphlets about meteor craters in Arizona. He married Mary "Polly"

McMichael.

A Note about "The Hermitage" "The Hermitage," (or as it was originally known, "Tilghman's Hermitage") in

Queen Anne's County was one of several Tilghman family homes, the other

notable property being "Grosses," the seat of another branch of the family. Richard

Tilghman, who arrived in Maryland in 1660, was granted the land patent upon

which "The Hermitage" was built. The original patent was signed by Charles

Calvert, Third Baron Baltimore and was still on display at the house as of 1980.

Though the initial grant was only for 400 acres, succeeding generations greatly

expanded the property. The first house is believed to have burned down in 1832.

The current structure was built in 1859 out of the surviving eastwing of the first

house. Much of the material evidence of generations of Tilghmans remains at "The

Hermitage," including furniture and portraits. The grounds of the estate contain a

family cemetery and stables modeled after those of the Spanish royal family. The

gardens, and in particular the variety and age of many trees, have added to "The

Hermitage's" fame.

Related Families Though the majority of the collection consists of the papers of the Tilghmans, it

also contains valuable information about their relations and associates, such as the

Allen, Lawrence, and Penn families. A family tree compiled by Robert Finch,

included with this finding aid, shows the connections between the families. It also

distinguishes Tilghmans of the same name (e.g. "Benjamin Tilghman," of whom

there are six) from one another.

The Chew Family Benjamin Chew (1722-1810) was the fourth son of Samuel Chew of Dover,

Delaware and an influential man in Philadelphia before and after the American

Revolution. His father, Samuel Chew, served as Chief Justice of the Lower

Counties of Pennsylvania (now in Delaware). Benjamin Chew, at the age of 15,

studied law under Andrew Hamilton, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer. After

Hamilton's death in 1741, Benjamin served as his father's assistant in Dover and

7

then went to London to study law, returning in 1746 to establish a successful legal

practice in Philadelphia. By 1755, although only 33 years old, he was the Attorney

General of the Province of Pennsylvania as well as Speaker of the Delaware

Assembly. By 1759 he was recognized as the leader of the Philadelphia Bar.

Benjamin Chew was appointed Chief Justice of the Province of Pennsylvania by

Governor John Penn in 1774, succeeding William Allen in that position, but he did

not hold this position long because of suspected Loyalist views. He was arrested in

1777 for treason, but was released a year later. After his arrest, he took a decade-

long hiatus from public life, taking up public office later as President of the High

Court of Errors and Appeals from 1791 until the court's final dissolution in 1808.

Benjamin Chew married first Mary Galloway (1697-1734). After Mary's death in

1755, he married Elizabeth Oswald (1757).

The Allen Family William Allen's (1704-1780) impressive career and achievements are largely

forgotten as his attempt to remain neutral during the Revolution cost him

everything (three of his four sons were Loyalists). He had been Chief Justice of

Pennsylvania, the mayor of Philadelphia, and a successful business man. Educated

at the Middle Temple (c. 1720) in London, William took advantage of his time

abroad to tour England. He returned in 1725 when his father died. William joined

the Governor's Council in 1727, when he was only 23, and four years later joined

the Provincial Assembly. By 1742, he had become the leader of what was known

the "Gentleman's Party" (1742), a group of Anglican and Presbyterian

Assemblymen who opposed Quaker politics. Equally successful in business,

William owned mines, iron works, and added to his fortune with spoils from

privateering during the French and Indian War. While much of his capital went to

lavish entertaining, William was philanthropic as well, founding the Pennsylvania

Hospital and the College of Philadelphia. He was patron to artists, among them

Benjamin West and John Singleton Copely, and to doctors, such as John Morgan

and John Redman. William desired to remain neutral during the American

Revolution, though he was an advocate for colonial rights and opposed the Stamp

Act. William married Margaret Hamilton, daughter of Andrew Hamilton, Speaker

of the Pennsylvania Assembly.

James Allen (1742-1778) was the third son of William Allen and Margaret

Hamilton, the daughter of Andrew Hamilton, Attorney General of the Province of

Pennsylvania. James Allen was likewise a lawyer, having trained for the law with

Edward Shippen. He served as a Common Councilman of Philadelphia between

1767 and 1776. James Allen married Elizabeth Lawrence, the only child of John

Lawrence [q.v.], son of Thomas Lawrence [q.v.]. Their children were Anne Penn

8

Allen, who married James Greenleaf, Margaret Elizabeth Allen, who married

William Tilghman [q.v.], Mary Masters Allen and James Hamilton Allen.

Andrew Allen (1740-1825), the second son of William Allen, is mentioned

frequently within the collection. He was a Loyalist, but served as a Pennsylvania

delegate to the Continental Congress until the decision to declare independence

was made. With his brothers, he then sought out the protection of British General

William Howe. Another brother, William Allen, led the Pennsylvania Loyalist

Corps during the American Revolution.

The Lawrence Family Thomas Lawrence (1689-1754) was active in the political life of Philadelphia and

south-eastern Pennsylvania. In partnership with Edward Shippen, Lawrence began

Shippen & Lawrence one of the most prominent Philadelphia firms engaged in the

fur trade. Lawrence was most notable for his business acumen concerning land

speculation. He owned, for example, much of what is now Reading, Pennsylvania.

Politically, Thomas Lawrence helped negotiate a treaty with Native Americans at

Albany, New York in 1745. He also served as mayor of Philadelphia several times

between 1727 and his death in 1754. Both of his sons, Thomas Lawrence II and

John Lawrence [q.v.], served as mayor of Philadelphia as well.

John Lawrence (1724-1799), Thomas' second son, married Elizabeth Francis,

(daughter of Tench Francis and Elizabeth Turbett, and sister of Anne Francis, wife

of James Tilghman (1716-1793)). They had only one daughter, Elizabeth

Lawrence who married James Allen. John Lawrence was a noted Loyalist.

The Penn Family The descendents of William Penn (1843-1718), the English Quaker who was the

founder of Pennsylvania, were involved both professionally and collaterally with

the Tilghmans, as well as the Allen, Lawrence, and Chew families. Thomas Penn

(1701/2-1775), a son of William by the founder's second wife, was much involved

with cleaning up the estate of his blacksheep half-brother, William Penn, Jr.,

during James Tilghman's [q.v.] term as secretary of the Penn family’s land office.

Two of Thomas' brothers, John Penn (1700-1746) and Richard Penn (1705-1771)

also figure in this collection, as does their half-sister Letitia [Penn] Aubrey.

John Penn (1725-1795), last of his family to govern Pennsylvania—from 1773-

1776—was a grandson of the province's founder by way of that worthy’s son

Richard. In 1766 John married Ann Allen, the daughter of William Allen (1704-

1780) [q.v.] and the sister of Andrew (1740-1825) [q.v.] and James Allen (1724-

9

1778) [q.v.]. Both Allen brothers became Loyalist émigrés: William Tilghman

(1756-1827), a Loyalist, but not an émigré, married James Allen's daughter

Margaret Elizabeth Allen (1772-1798) in 1794; she probably was responsible for

her uncle John Penn’s papers appearing in this collection.

Scope & Content

The Tilghman Family Papers are divided into ten series. Series I comprises the

correspondence, records, and other materials relating to the most prominent and

prolific writers among the Tilghmans in the collection, each of whom makes up a

subseries (e.g. Subseries B: Papers of Edward Tilghman, Jr.). The last subseries in

Series I, "Miscellaneous Tilghman Family Documents," contains the documents of

other, less well-represented Tilghmans. Series II contains Tilghman family

genealogical materials. Those records pertaining to "The Hermitage" comprise

Series III; ephemera Series IV; and photographs, Series V. Families related to the

Tilghmans, specifically the Chew, Lawrence and Allen, and Penn families, each

make up their own series (Series VI-VIII). An "Allied Families" series, Series IX,

houses the extended kin of those families related to the Tilghmans and their

relations whose documents are too few to warrant individual groupings. The last

group, Series X, consists of land records.
