Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant, Esq., of
Philadelphia, at the close of the year
1788 ; it was his second marriage.
Mr. Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant was an eminent lawyer
in Philadelphia, and for some time Attorney General of Penn-
sylvania ; he was one of the five persons delegated on the 20th
of February, 1776, by the convention of New Jersey (where he
then resided) to represent that colony in Congress. His col-
leagues were the late Governor Livingstone and John de Hart,
Richard Smith and John Cooper, Esquires. Mr. Sergeant
died with the yellow fever, in Philadelphia, on the 8th of
October, 1793. He left a son and two daughters by this
marriage. He was the first Attorney General of Pennsyl-
vana.
Instead of leaving the city during the time of the yellow
fever, 1793, he remained in the city, and was a leader of those
who devoted their time and money to the establishing of hos-
pitals for the relief of the sick. No doubt many lives were
saved through his action, although he became a prey t<>
the disease and died while engaged in the good cause. Their
children were Esther, David and Frances.

one son, who died young, on September

David Rittenhouse named his second daughter Esther,
in compliment to his sister, Mrs. Thomas Barton. In a letter
to the Rev. Thomas Barton, written on the occasion of the
birth of this younger child, he says : " To me it is a matter of
indifference, but to my Eleanor it was a great disappointment,
to have a girl, having promised herself a boy ; and it had
long since been resolved that this child, if a son, should be
called Thomas, after yourself." The oldest daughter was
named Elizabeth, after his own mother.

Dr. Miller was of distinguished ancestry. His grand-
father, Rev. John Miller, a Presbyterian pastor, of Dover,
Del., came from Boston, Mass. The latter's mother was a
great-granddaughter of John Alden, one of the heroes of the
Mayflower, and associated in New England history with the
romantic story of Captain Miles Standish. On the maternal
side Dr. Miller was no less distinguishedly connected. His
mother was the daughter of Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant (if
so, must be by second marriage), a member of the Continental
Congress, and his great-grandmother was a daughter of Jona-
than Dickinson, the first President of Princeton College,

FREDERICK CARROLL BREWSTER.
Ex-Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, ex-Attorney-
General of Pennsylvania, and one of the leaders of the Phila-
delphia bar, was born in Philadelphia, in the old city proper,
May 15, 1825.
In very early boyhood Judge Brewster was sent to the
old Friends' Select School, at Fourth and Arch streets.
There he was carefully trained and rapidly fitted out for col-
lege. He entered the University of Pennsylvania, then located
in the old Ninth street buildings, while Rev. Dr. Lud-
low7, the father of the late Judge Ludlow, was provost.
The young student displayed wonderful industry and
aptness for learning whatever was taught him, until in
1 841, when, just about sixteen years of age, he graduated
with all the honors of the institution, making a public address
at the commencement. William Henry Rawle and Hon.
Horatio Gates Jones were college mates with him. Judge
Brewster has always maintained an active relationship with
the friends of the University, and he has often given evidence
of the interest he feels in the permanent reputation and
future welfare of his Alma Mater. He was for several years
president of the Society of the Alumni, and on several occa-
sions he has been called upon to deliver addresses to the stu-
dents and patrons of the University of Pennsylvania, in West
DAVID RITTENHOUSE. g
Philadelphia, and he was the orator at the laying of the cor-
ner-stone of the new edifice.
In testimony of the esteem entertained for him by the
University, he was, some years ago, honored with the degree
of Doctor of Laws. Shortly after his graduation he entered
the office of his father, where he enjoyed rare advantages for
the study of the law. In 1844 he was admitted to practice,
and speedily gained an extensive and lucrative patronage.
This success was principally achieved in the civil courts, but
it is by his conduct of famous criminal trials in which he has
participated that his distinguished reputation as one of the
famous lawyers of his day was first won. For his success in
several famous criminal cases, see " The Saturday Review
and Republic" of May 9, 1891.
In 1862 he was chosen to the official position of
City Solicitor. Three years later he was re-elected to the
same office. He did not, however, finish his second term, in
consequence of being chosen, in October, 1866, a Judge of
the Common Pleas Court of Philadelphia. His term of office
was for ten years, but, on October 23, 1869, he was tendered
the Attorney-Generalship of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania, by Governor Geary. He accepted this office, retaining
it until the close of the Governor's term of office. He then
returned to the practice of his profession, in which he still
continues. Although all his life a very busy man, he has
found time to collate and write several valuable legal works.
Judge Brewster was married, in 1850, to Emma, daughtcr
of the late W. P. C. Barton, M. D. (a grandson of Rev. Thomas
Barton and Esther Rittenhouse, sister of David Rittenhouse,
the celebrated astronomer), at one time senior Surgeon of
the United States Navy. Of his sons, two, Frederick C. and
Francis E., are prominent members of the Philadelphia bar.

tember, 1775, at the suggestion of his father, he left America
for England, bearing with him letters of recommendation
from Bishop Peters and other persons. While in Europe he
laid the foundation of his education, and otherwise advanced
his literary interests, for which he had a peculiar fondness.
He left England in 1778 and returned to America, by way of
Holland and the West Indies, and landed at Baltimore Janu-
ary 8, 1779. On his passage from the West Indies to the
Continent he assisted in making prize of a British privateer,
which was brought to Baltimore. Immediately upon landing
he took the oath of fidelity and allegiance to the United
States Government. Upon his arrival at Lancaster he re-
ceived a letter from David Rittenhouse, dated January 24,
1779, m which he says : " I most sincerely congratulate you
on your safe arrival, and impatiently expect the pleasure of
seeing you here. I received yours from Baltimore ten days
after the date, and immediately wrote to your father, suppos-
ing him to be still in New York, though we cannot be certain
as to that matter." He was shortly afterwards admitted to
the Lancaster bar, and also chosen an officer of the militia of
the borough of Lancaster. His advocacy of the cause of the
struggling colonies was warm and enthusiastic. On the 18th
of August, 1789, he was nominated by President Washington,
one of the Judges of the Western Territory, and the Senate rati-
fied the nomination. He was afterwards (with but two excep-
tions) unanimously recommended by the Lancaster bar for
the appointment to the President Judgeship of the District,
composed of the counties of Lancaster, Chester, York and
Dauphin. In 1779 he was an ardent Republican and staunch
advocate of the election of Thomas McKean for Governor of
Pennsylvania. Being a finished scholar and a fine writer, he
was, during that campaign, the one generally selected to draft
the Democratic addresses, then a leading feature of political
parties. He was, in 1800, appointed Prothonotary of Lan-
caster eounty, and this office, together with the commission
of Clerk of the Orphans' Court, which he obtained in 1803,
he held up to 1 809, when he was succeeded by John Pass-

more. He afterwards removed to Philadelphia, and was
chosen secretary of the American Philosophical Society of
Philadelphia. He obtained from the University of Pennsyl-
vania the honorary title of Master of Arts. He is the author
of a dissertation on the Freedom of Navigation and Maritime
Commerce, and also of a biography of the philosopher,

He lias also written a work on the abolition of trial by
jury, wherein he vigorously and ably opposed the proposition.

by Rev. Dr. Smith ; he was a merchant
in the borough of Lancaster, Pa. ; he
went to camp at Elizabeth, New Jersey.
Mr. Bryan writes, March 15, 1779, that Zantzinger has a
design of getting liberty to pass into New York. For this pur-
pose he will hold forth his desire to visit his father-in law,
Rev. Thomas Barton, now in that city.
It is probable that he was accompanied by William Bar-
ton, who lately returned from England, and was a son of
Rev. Thomas Barton.
John Paul Zantzinger, of Lancaster, was a merchant and

children, and resided at Lancaster, Pa.; he was born 1744, and

Soon after the death of his parents he moved to the
family of a brother in Philadelphia, in 1782, where he spent
several years in the study of literature, the sciences, and
medicine; in 1776 he went to Great Britain and prosecuted
his medical studies at Edinburgh and London. He after-
wards visited Gottingen, and there obtained the degree of
Doctor of Medicine. On returning to Philadelphia, in 1789,
he established himself as a physician in the city, and his su-
perior talents and education soon procured him competent em-
ployment. He was that year appointed Professor of Natural His-
tory and Botany in the College of Philadelphia, and continued
in that office on the incorporation of the college with the Uni-
versity, in 1 79 1. He was appointed Professor of Materia
Medica on the resignation of Dr. Griffith ; and on the death
of Dr. Rush, succeeded him in the department of the Theory
and Practice of Medicine He died December 19, 1816.
In 1803 he published " Elements of Botany, or Outlines
of the Natural History of Vegetables, &c." Dr. Barton has
the honor of being the first American who gave to his country
an elementary work on botany.
He also published " Collections for an Essay Towards a
Materia Medica of the United States."
In 1805 Dr. Barton commenced the publication of the
" Medical and Physical Journal."

parents dying while he was an infant, he was reared by his
grandparents, from whom he inherited a large estate in
Bridgeton, X. J. He subsequently moved to Woodbury, N.
J., in [808, where he practiced law, and was appointed At-
torney General of the state, in 1833, and Judge of the Su-
preme Court, in 1858. He was a tall, fine-looking man, and
died in i860, having lived to the age of 92 years.
His father, Major White, was an aid to General Sullivan,
and was wounded at the battle of Germantown ; he, however,
followed with the retreating army, and died at a farm house
on the Skippack road. He was buried with General Nash
and others in the Mennonite burying-ground, at Kulpsville,
Mi mtgomery county. Pa., about twenty-five miles north of Phil-
adelphia, where a monument has been erected to their memory.
His handsome appearance and dress had conferred on him

d February 29, 1856; m. Esther Rittcn-
house Sergeant ; d June 4, 1870. (See
4203.)
It is a well known fact that William P. C. Barton and
each member of his class at Princeton took the name of some
celebrated man. William P.C.Barton took that of Count
Crillon. His cousin, John Rhea Smith (John R. C. Smith),
took the name of Clarendon. They retained the initials of
their college names to the end of their lives.
William P C. Barton was born in Philadelphia, Novem
ber 17, 1786, and graduated from Princeton College in 1805,
and commenced the practice of medicine under the direction
of his uncle, Dr. Benjamin Smith Barton, and graduated from
the University of Pennsylvania in 1808. The subject of his
graduation thesis was " Nitrous Oxide Gas." It was deemed
worthy of publication, and was for many years a standard
treatise upon that subject.
Dr. William P. C. Barton practiced medicine in Philadel-
phia, and was surgeon at the Pennsylvania Hospital. Upon
the recommendation of the celebrated Dr. Benjamin Rush and
Dr. Physick, was appointed surgeon in the navy. He organ-
ized the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery U. S. Navy, and
was appointed by the Secretary of the Navy the first Chief of
the Bureau. I le was Professor of Botany in the University of
Pennsylvania, and Professor Materia Medica and Botany in
Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. He was stationed

several times at the navy yard at Philadelphia, and at other
stations on shore ; he also had a great deal of sea duty. He
became Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia ;
a member of the American Philosophical Society ; President
of the Linnean Society ; and honorary member and surgeon
of the First Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry.
As early as 1818 Dr. William P. C. Barton endeavored
to obtain a charter for a new medical college. This move-
ment was opposed by the friends of the University of Penn-
sylvania, and the efforts of Dr. William P. C. Barton and his
friends proved unsuccessful. Seven years later Dr. McClellan
established the Jefferson Medical College, and Dr. William P.
C. Barton was Professor of it for three years. Dr. William
P. C. Barton married Esther, daughter of Jonathan Dickinson
Sergeant, a member of the Philadelphia bar, and granddaugh-
ter of the celebrated David Rittenhouse. She died June 4,
1870.
In an address before the Alumni Association of the Jef-
ferson Medical College of Philadelphia, at its first anniversary,
March 11, 1871, by Sf D. Gross, M D., LL. D., Professor of
Surgery in the College, and President of the Association,
Dr. Gross thus speaks of Dr. William P. C. Barton : " He
was in all respects a remarkable man ; highly educated,
learned in his profession, a graceful lecturer, an able writer,
and one of the most accomplished botanists in America. He
abounded in flashes of wit, and a vein of irony and sarcasm
was perceptible in almost everything he did and said. He
had a passionate love for music and played with consummate
ability upon the flute and violin. Many of his acts were
marked by the eccentricities of genius. His style of lectur-
ing was conversational, plain, simple and didactic, without: any
attempt at oratory ; and his success as a teacher was all that
could have been desired. In his appearance he was a model
of neatness and elegance.

Colonel Robert Gibbon Johnson was a prominent citizen
of Salem, New Jersey, where his ancestors had been the first
settlers. He graduated at Princeton College in 1790, but was
frustrated in his cherished plan of studying law by the death
of his father, and turned his attention to the care of his large
landed estate. He was a man of great integrity of character,

.tiul when only 23 years of age was appointed one of the pay-
masters of the New Jersey Brigade in the Whiskey Insurrec-
tion hi" 1 ;• i.j. He was made Colonel of the militia cavalry in
by Governor Williamson. Colonel Johnson possessed
great culture, refinement and literary tastes, and drew around
him the religious and literary minds of New Jersey, such as
Bishop Croes, I m. Staughton, Rev. Drs. Miller, Janeway, Ely,
and Murray, of the Presbyterian Church; Chief Justice Kirk-
patrick, Hon. Samuel Southard and others, who were his
chosen friends and partakers of the hospitality of his hand-
some home, lie was the principal founder of the First Pres-
byterian Church in his native town, the site of the church and
grave-yard being his gift, a portion of his ancestral acres. He
was one of the gentleman most instrumental in organizing
the New Jersey Historical Society, in Trenton, in 1842, and
was its first Vice President, and contributed many rare and
original documents. He was also an historian, being the
author of a " History of Salem, New Jersey," a standard
work. Colonel Johnson lived to a ripe old age and died Sep-
tember, 1849, in his 80th year.
Mrs. Johnson was a lady of sterling character and fine
appearance, and a kind and loving mother to her husband's
children, who reverence her memory.

The following letter is inserted here on account of its
valuable information :
Minneapolis, April 8, 1891.
Miss Anna M. Rittenhouse and sisters, Rittenhouse and Wis-
sahickon avenues, Germantown, Pa. :
Dear Cousins — Although impatient to answer your cor-
dial and valued letter of March 8th, circumstances have pre-
vented me, until now. Within that interval our family have
in turn suffered from the gripp ; am desirous to give you
.j j BENJAMIN KITTEN HOUSE.
some data concerning our branch of the clan, that you might
place it properly in the tree you arc cultivating. I wrote to
aunt Hannah, of Sunbury, for information. Her autograph
reply came a few days ago, and I expected then to send you
on this the day we celebrate, but, alas, I have to mutter with
many .mother the best laid plans of mine I will try
to get even with you. This pedigree business always knocked
me out in a very few rounds, and if I get through intelligibly
I will be both surprised and pleased.
My wife, Martha Louise Rittenhouse, with her brother,
Charles Edwin, and sister, Mary Frances, were the children
of Rev. John Hughes Rittenhouse and Jane S. Simonton.
Mr. R.'s father was David, called after his uncle David, whose
birthday you celebrate. Aunt Hannah Jordan, widow of the
late Judge Jordan, of Sunbury, was sister to Rev. John
Hughes Rittenhouse, above. Philosopher David's brother,
Benjamin, was their grandfather, and, of course, their father,
David's father, Benjamin, married Elizabeth Bull, who died
early in life, leaving four children, viz. : David, who married
Sarah Hughes; John (second son), married Miss Beverly, of
Virginia, both died young, leaving one son, John Beverly
Rittenhouse, who was purser in the U. S. Navy many years ;
died in Philadelphia, and, like some others of the clan, never
married.
The third son, Benjamin Franklin Rittenhouse, was a
midshipman in the navy, and on board the fleet sent to the
siege of Tripoli died and was buried at sea, aged 19 years.
The fourth child was a daughter, and married Michael
Nourse, who was the youngest of twenty-one children (auntie
did not say whether this fact gave rise to the name or vice
versa), and who was chief clerk in the Register's office at
Washington, under his brother, Joseph Nourse, who was the
eldest of the twenty-one, and Register of the Treasury, until
General Jackson came into office, with " to the victor belongs
the spoils." Mr. Joseph Nourse received his appointment
from General Washington. This Michael Nourse, who mar-
ried Mary, grandfather's only sister, Mary by name, and who
BENJAMIN RITTENHOUSE. 45
was the mother of twelve children, raising seven sons and
three daughters. Benjamin's (brother of David), (through
whom our clan descended) wife's father was Colonel John
Bull. His family consisted of one son and five daughters.
Auntie* says these people have a most interesting and romantic
history. The second daughter, Anna, married General Smith,
of Virginia; third daughter married Joseph Nourse, men-
tioned above, Register of Treaury — her name, Maria ; fourth,
Rebecca, who married Captain John Boyd ; fifth, .Sarah, who
had three husbands — a daughter of this one, my wife and I
had the pleasure of seeing, and at auntie's. They owned all
the land on which Northumberland was built. But I have
about finished my tale. Perhaps, worried you. Auntie ex-
presses her opinion in favor of Rittenhouse Square for the
statue, but she says : " If it depends on a wordy legislature,
you, I and all others will be old and gray-haired before you
see it."

McGee, M. D., at Washington, D. C, who writes thus :
Washington, D. C, October 29, 1892.
Mr. Cassel — This information I have from Mrs. Lyle, of
160 Walnut avenue, Lexington, Kentucky, lacking dates.
Otherwise we have been unable to obtain complete informa-
tion. As for example, the Stetlinius branch, which it has not
been possible to trace. Anita Newcomb McGee, M. D.

sisters. He was a blacksmith by trade, and I think his father
was the same. He could speak Dutch, which leads me to
think he might have been related to the Morgans in Towa-

My Dear Sir, — Agreeable to my promise to you
when you were in Wilkesbarre, I beg to enclose the copy of
the marriage certificate of my grandfather Benjamin Morgan.
I have made it a " verbatim copy," not correcting the errors
which it contains. The capitalization and the punctuation are
precisely as in the original. The signatures are in five col-
umns ruled as in the copy. I trust that it will be entirely
plain and clear to you, as to the general form of the docu-
ment. I think you understood that I desired my name added
to the subscription list for a copy of the work with a good
substantial binding. I shall be glad to do anything further
for you at any time.
Very truly yours, Benjamin F. Morgan.

IOO THE MORGAN FAMILY.
•
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Morgan were assisted by nearly
300 "t" their friends last evening in celebrating their golden
wedding anniversary. The cosy home on North Franklin
street was thronged from six o'clock to ten. The rooms were
prettily decorated with quantities of smilax hanging in ropes
and draperies, and the mantles were banked with flowers and
bunches of exquisite roses and other cut flowers. The din-
ing room was made inviting by the beautifully decorated
table which was set with dainties and prettily lighted. The
supper was an elaborate one, consisting of croquettes, salads
of different kinds, coffee the most fragrant, creams, ices, bon
bons, almonds and quantities of confectionery, and other
dainties. It was served by a corps of waiters under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Hochreiter.
While the guests thronged the rooms, congratulated
host and hostess, and talked, laughed or ate, the Raff quar-
tet, hidden behind a curtain of smilax, played the most deli-
cious music. In an upper room were the presents — all man"
ner of costly bric-a-brac, silver, rare china, a banquet lamp, etc.,
etc. There was a glass vase full of gold fish, a reminder from
George A. Wells of numerous fishing trips which he and Mr.
Morgan had enjoyed.
A novel feature was a profusion of gold pieces under a
glass case. Two gilded apples were cut open revealing a
radiation of $10 pieces inside. A gilded shoe held a handful
of them, and others were fastened on cards or covered the
bottom of the case. It was a display of yellow beauty that
was quite entrancing.
Over the tables of presents were displayed two wedding
certificates. One was that of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, setting
forth that Charles Morgan and Ellen Hann were married
April 2, 1842, in Wilkesbarre, by Rev. Daniel W. Bristol,
and the witnesses were John Behee and S. G. Beaumont.
Above this framed certificate is a large piece of aged yel-
low parchment also framed. It is the wedding certificate of
Mr. Morgan's parents, Benjamin Morgan and Tacy Stroud, in
Montgomery county, May 13, 1800. This parchment is all
THE MORGAN FAMILY. IOI
hand written and describes the marriage, which was by
Quaker custom. Each having declared their intention be-
forehand, they in the presence of a large number of the Soci-
ety of Friends, took each other by the hand, each declaring
that they would love and honor the other until death should
them part. The document is signed by at least 75 witnesses,
the signatures written in four columns.
Mr. Morgan, whose wedding anniversary was celebrated
last night, is still a member of the Society of Friends. He
came here for his health from Philadelphia in 1839, as far as
Harrisburg by rail and from there to Wilkesbarre by canal
packet. The journey took three days and two nights. The
place evidently agreed with him, for he stayed, and three years
later married Miss Ellen Hann, she being at that time 18 and
he 27. Fifty years have since passed over the heads of each,
but time has dealt so kindly that both look younger by many
years, and both are hearty and vigorous. Mr. Morgan can
yet outwalk any fisherman in this locality, and he is a cham-
pion with rod and line, too.
In 1843 Mr. Morgan began the shoe business with John
Kline, grandfather of Mrs. Dr. Boyle, of this city. In 1869
Jesse T. Morgan entered the firm and in 1876 he and his
brother, Wm. B., took charge of the business, which has al-
ways been prosperous and is to day. Mr. Morgan the elder
embarked in the hardware business in 1868 with his son, E.
S. Morgan. In 1886 Charles E. and Benjamin Morgan en-
tered, and the firm became C. Morgan's Sons, a business name
that is well and favorably known throughout this region.
At this time Mr. Morgan retired from active business
and has since enjoyed the results of his industry, happy in
seeing his sons following his business success, and contented
in the love of his devoted home circle. But though not act-
ive in business he is personally active and as thoroughly in-
terested in affairs of to-day as his own sons.
Among the guests last night were Mr. and Mrs. Locks-
ley and Morris Locksley, of Philadelphia ; Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. W. Evans and Wm. West Evans, of Philadelphia, and
102 THE MORGAN FAMILY.
Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Conard, of Fort Washington. The affair
was delightful and will long be remembered.
Of the immediate family there were present nine child-
ren six of whom are married, and nine grandchildren. The
youngest grandchild is Charles Byron Morgan, aged three
months, bright and interesting. He represented the third
generation of Charleses, the second being Charles Evans, the
baby's father.
