PREFACE. 

FREQUENT  inquiries  having  been  made  of  the  Editor, 
during  the  preparation  and  printing  of  this  work,  as  to  the 
difference  between  the  Colonial  Kecords  and  Pennsylvania 
Archives,  to  which  the  present  volume  is  a  general  index, 
it  may  be  useful  to  state  the  following  facts  : 

It  is  believed  that  the  early  Kecords  or  Minutes  of  the 
Provincial  Councils,  &c.,  were  kept  on  loose  sheets  of 
paper,  and  not;  at  the  time,  recorded  in  books,  as  appears 
by  frequent  long  intervals  of  dates,  and  blanks  left  for 
documents.  Many  of  these  loose  sheets  'are  in  the  hand 
writing  of  James  Logan,  the  then  Secretary,  and  after 
being  for  many  years  preserved  in  his  family,  were  deposited 
among  the  archives  of  several  societies;  some  having 
been  recorded  in  the  volumes  in  the  State  department,  and 
some  not  being  yet  in  print.  At  a  subsequent  period,  it 
is  believed,  an  attempt  was  made  to  collect  and  record  in 
volumes  as  many  of  these  loose  sheets  as  could  be  obtained, 
but  without  entire  success,  though  the  collection  from  168*2 
to  1790,  now  consists  of  32  MS.  volumes.  As  they  were 
the  only  records  in  existence,  and  liable  at  any  moment 
to  be  destroyed,  the  Philosophical  and  Historical  Societies 
in  1836,  directed  the  attention  of  the  Legislature  to  the 
subject  of  their  preservation  by  printing  these  volumes ; 
which,  in  1837,  resulted  in  an  Act  authorizing  the  Secre 
tary  of  the  Commonwealth  to  cause  a  portion  of  them  to

be  printed.  And  again  in  1838,  another  portion,  so  that 
in  1840,  three  volumes,  bringing  down  the  date  to  1735, 
had  been  printed.  Here  the  matter  rested  for  several 
years,  owing,  it  is  understood,  to  financial  difficulties.  In 
1851,  the  subject  was  again  revived,  and  the  Secretary  was 
authorized  to  continue  the  printing  of  the  minutes,  to  the 
adoption  of  the  State  Constitution  in  1789-90.  This  was 
accordingly  done,  the  proofs  being  revised  by  clerks  in 
the  Secretary's  office,  till  the  whole  were  printed  in  sixteen 
volumes,  including  the  first  three  volumes,  which,  having 
become  scarce,  were  reprinted  uniformly  with  the  rest. 
These  are  the  Colonial  Records. 

In  1851,  the  Governor  in  his  annual  message  stated 
that  his  "  attention  had  been  called  to  the  large  body  of 
original  papers  in  the  State  Department  connected  with  the 
Colonial  and  Eevolutionary  History  of  the  State,"  and  re 
commended  the  employment  of  a  suitable  person  to  select 
and  arrange  them  for  publication.  A  committee  of  each 
body  was  appointed  to  consider  the  suggestion  of  the  Gov 
ernor,  both  of  which  made  favorable  reports,  and  the 
Assembly  authorized  the  Governor  to  make  such  an 
appointment.  The  editor  was  honored  with  this  selection; 
and  after  carefully  examining  all  the  papers  of  early  date 
in  pigeon-holes  and  bundles  in  the  office,  made  his  report  as 
published,  and  presented  by  the  Governor  with  his  message 
to  the  Assembly,  who  by  Act  of  March,  1852,  appointed 
the  person  who  had  made  the  selection,  to  superintend  the 
printing;  but  it  was  not  till  the  27th  August,  1852,  owing 
to  various  delays  in  making  the  contracts,  that  the  publi 
cation  was  commenced.  This  collection  containing  about 
11,000  distinct  papers,  from  originals  in  the  Secretary's 
office,  and  now  forming  twelve  volumes,  constitutes  the 
Pennsylvania  Archives. 

As  the  two  works  make  twenty-eight  volumes,  and  the 
Kecords  being  without  any  other  index  than  a  meagre  table 
of  contents,  from  which  but  few  facts  could  be  ascertained, 


PREFACE.  V 

and  as  there  are  twelve  volumes  of  the  Archives,  which, 
though  each  volume  contains  a  full  index,  yet  requiring  an 
examination  of  each,  it  was  deemed  advisable,  for  greater 
ease  of  reference,  that  a  general  index,  embraced  in  one 
volume,  should  be  prepared.  The  Assembly,  perceiving 
this  necessity,  authorized  the  editor  by  Act  to  prepare  it, 
and  the  present  volume  is  the  result  of  his  labors. 

So  far  as  the  Eecords  are  concerned,  it  is  an  entirely 
original  index,  made  from  the  volumes  themselves,  with 
which  the  editor  had  before  no  more  acquaintance  than 
other  persons.  As  he  prepared  those  for  the  Archives,  the 
subjects  were  more  familiar  to  him,  yet  the  combination  of 
the  twelve  indices  into  one,  became  equally  necessary  and 
not  less  laborious. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  index  is  made  very  full  and  in 
detail,  and  it  is  believed  that  no  important  fact  has  escaped 
the  notice  of  the  editor.  That  so  large  a  work,  abounding 
with  references  to  volumes  and  pages,  should  be  entirely 
free  from  errors,  cannot  reasonably  be  expected  or  even 
hoped  for ;  but,  it  is  believed,  from  frequent  references  made, 
while  in  progress,  that  they  will  be  found  very  few  and 
unimportant.  If  any  are  met  with,  the  means  of  correcting 
many  may  be  found  in  the  fact,  that  all  important  subjects 
are  referred  to  under  several  heads,  as  well  as  the  one 
adopted  by  the  editor.  For  the  Archives,  in  such  cases, 
the  several  volumes  may  prove  also  available. 

Some  difficulty  has  been  experienced  in  connecting  events 
and  names,  from  the  circumstance  that  sometimes  only  the 
name,  without  the  office ;  and  at  others  the  title  without 
the  Christian  name,  occur,  not  even  allowing  for  changes 
by  promotions ;  some  confusion  may,  therefore,  occur  which 
could  not  well  be  avoided. 

It  is,  however,  believed  that  with  all  its  imperfections  the 
index  will  promote  a  more  intimate  acquaintance  with  the 
history  of  our  State,  as  detailed  in  the  Records  and  Archives, 
than  could  possibly  be  attained  without  it,  and  make  every 


VI  PREFACE. 

one  who  chooses  to  consult  and  trace  it,  better  acquainted 
with  the  occurrences  of  his  own  neighborhood  at  least. 
Indeed,  the  editor  is  satisfied  that  -no  better  and  fuller 
history  of  the  State  can  be  found,  than  in  the  sources  re 
ferred  to  in  this  volume. 

The  volume  has  been  so  printed  that  it  may  be  kept 
together  or  separated  to  suit  the  wishes  of  persons  possess 
ing  either  the  Kecords  or  Archives ;  or  both ;  and  to  one 
who  has  neither,  it  will  possess  an  interest,  as  referring  to 
subjects  on  which  he  may  desire  information ;  and  obtain  it 
from  some  library  or  neighbor,  who  has  either  one  or  both 
works.  .  •
