REPORTS.

REPORT OF AUGUST 4, 1815.
The committee appointed to examine the records of the Troop, arrange
the roll of members, and revise the by-laws, beg leave to report : That
they have endeavored to accomplish the objects of their appointment.
In collecting and reviewing the papers and records of the Troop, they
have met with much difficulty, owing to the length of time since its
formation, and the imperfect collection of the papers. It appears that
the Troop was formed by the association of twenty-six gentlemen, on the
17th November, 1774, for the defence of the rights of their threatened
country, and it was in the succeeding years increased by the election of
members. During the whole revolutionary struggle, it was an active
and efficient cohort in rendering assistance to resist the invading foe, by
sprvi'no- rlni-ina- the several arduous campaigns from 1776 to 1783 : —
¦ -   — we belong to an association, which, during
nic wuuie prugresB ui uuc nai, merited and possessed the approbation of
the illustrious Washington, and in peace enjoyed his friendship ; —
frequently engaged under his command in active employment, at times
serving as his body-guard, and always remaining faithfully attached to
him and the great object for which they were contending, notwithstand
ing the powerful political cabals, and the diversity of opinion and feel
ings which prevailed during that period. — From the time of the forma
tion of the Troop to 1796, the committee have only found a few detached
papers. From 1796 to the present date, they are happy to state, that
the minutes have been regularly kept. From these they have selected

some of the most important and interesting papers, which they recom
mend to be published in the book of by-laws. — By an attentive exami
nation of the records, and by the assistance of some of the original
members, the committee have been enabled to make a list of members
from the commencement to the present period, which maybe considered
as complete, and this they recommend also to be printed in the book of
by-laws, that, in cherishing the remembrance of men who have faith
fully served their country, and done honor to the Troop, we may hand
their names down to succeeding members, as an honorable testimony of
the character of our association. The view of this history of the Troop,
presented in a condensed form, may be the means of keeping alive that
esprit de corps, so desirable in a military association like the one to
which we belong, and of adding increased respectability and fresh lau
rels to those already won by our predecessors.
The committee have prepared the by-laws, and now offer them for the
ultimate adoption of the Troop, previous to publication.

Philadelphia, 4th August, 1815.
At a meeting of the Troop, held at Mr. Peter Evans's, on the 4th
August, 1815, the preceding report, the by-laws, and the selected papers
were submitted, and at the succeeding meeting, on the 7th September,
1815, the report was unanimously accepted, and the following by-laws
were unanimously adopted.

REPORT OF JANUARY 1, 1840.
The committee appointed on the 12th January, 1833, to revise and
arrange for publication the papers of the Troop, from the year 1815, re
spectfully report :

1. A condensed history of the corps, consisting of the more promi
nent events in which it has been engaged, with such otlier matter as
your committee conceived might prove interesting and worthy of preser
vation. 2. The successive changes in the roll of commissioned and non-com
missioned officers, from time to time, since 7th September, 1815.
3. A list of the commissioned and non-commissioned officers since its
original organization.
4. The muster-roll of the Troop, continued from September 7th, 1815,
upon the plan of the printed roll of that year, exhibiting the date of
the nomination, election, and resignation of each member, and, as far as
can be ascertained, the date of the decease of such as are dead.
5. The alterations of and additions to the by-laws, and the late change
of uniform, together with certain resolutions which your committee con
sider still in force, although not passed with such formalities as are
requisite to entitle them to the rank of by-laws.
Your committee recommend, that previous to publication, the by-laws
should be so altered, amended, and enlarged, as that when printed they
may remain a permanent code of rules for the government of the corps.

Minutes of the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry. Philadelphia,
Nov. 17, 1774.
The relation between the Colonies of North America and Great
Britain had long borne an unpleasant and threatening aspect. In 1765,
the impolitic and offensive Stamp Act had been passed by the Parlia
ment of Great Britain, and was attempted to be enforced in America by
the officers of the Crown, but was necessarily repealed in 1766. In
1767, Mr. Grenville and Mr. Townshend's celebrated Bill laying a duty
on tea, lead, &c, was passed, which was also soon repealed, except the
odious duty upon tea. In Nov. 1773, the tea was destroyed at Boston,
and great riots ensued. In June, 1774, the Boston Port Bill went into
operation. In Sept. 1774, the First General Continental Congress met
at Philadelphia, and troops from Europe arrived in America, to enforce
the arbitrary measures of the mother country, erected fortifications, and
seized and secured the military stores.
In this alarming crisis, when the storm which had long been gather
ing, and was about to burst, and rage with violence, the following named
twenty-eight persons, all gentlemen of the highest respectability and
fortunes, voluntarily associated, on Thursday, the 17th day of November,
1774, and constituted the Philadelphia Troop of Light Horse, viz. :

1. Abraham Markoe,
2. Andrew Allen,
3. Samuel Morris,
4. James Mease,
5. Thomas Leiper,

23. George Graff,
24. Benjamin Randolph,
25. Thomas Peters,
26. George Fullerton,
27. Andrew Caldwell,
28. William West. Jr.

They equipped at their own expense, determined to support them
selves, chose their own officers, and volunteered their services to the
Continental Congress.
The following gentlemen were unanimously elected officers : —

Abraham Markoe, captain,
Andrew Allen, 1st lieutenant,
Samuel Morris, 2d lieutenant and
adjutant,
James Mease, cornet,
Thomas Mease, 1st sergeant,

William Hall, 2d sergeant,

breeches; high-topped boots; round black hat, bound with silver cord;
a buck's tail; housings brown, edged with white, and the letters L. H.
worked on them.
Arms.
A carbine ; a pair of pistols and holsters, with flounces of brown
cloth trimmed with white; a horseman's sword; white belts for the
sword and carbine.
Levi Hollingsworth, with a detachment of the Troop, was despatched
by Congress to Canada, with specie to pay the troops under General
Montgomery, who fell at the attaok on Quebec, 31st Dec. 1775.
William Hall, with another escort, with money for the army, on which
service Mr. George Fullerton, a member, was unfortunately killed, about
a half-mile beyond Brunswick, by the accidental discharge of a pistol
in one of the holsters.
Captain Markoe presented to the Troop a standard of silk, hand
somely embroidered with silver. This flag is now in possession of the
Troop, and is displayed at the Anniversary dinners.

DISCHARGE FROM GENEEAL MERCER, IN 1776.
To Messrs. Benj. Randolph, Jno. Dunlap, James Hunter, Jno. Lardner,
Thomas Peters, and Thomas Leiper, of the Philadelphia Troop of
Light-Horse (a detachment).
Gentlemen, —
The light-horse of New Jersey having been properly posted for the
purpose of conveying intelligence and performing such other military
duty as falls within their department, it is not necessary to detain you
longer here ; you may, therefore, as soon as convenient proceed to Phila
delphia.' Give me leave, at the same time, to express my just sense of your
services, which have always been performed with the greatest alacrity
and attention. I am, gentlemen,
With great regard,
Your most obedient servant,
Hugh Mercer,
Brig.-General.
Pekth Ameot, August 26th, 1776.

DISCHARGE FROM GENERAL WASHINGTON.
The Philadelphia Troop of Light-Horse, under the command of
Capt. Morris, having performed their tour of duty, are discharged for
the present.
I take this opportunity of returning my most sincere thanks to the
Captain and to the gentlemen who compose the Troop, for the many
essential services which they have rendered their country, and to
me personally, during the course of this severe campaign. Though
composed of gentlemen of fortune, they have shown a noble example of
discipline and subordination, and in several actions have shown a spirit
and bravery which will ever do honor to them, and will ever be grate
fully remembered by me.
George Washington.
Head Quarters, Morris Town,

Please to furnish Mr. John Dunlap with such wagons and horses as

or any of his deputies.

Sept. 1779. — The Troop, on a call of the Commander-in-Chief, again
took the field, stronger in number and better equipped than they had
ever before been, and with fresh ardor and spirit. They marched as
far as Princeton, and after remaining out as long as they were wanted,
were discharged at Trenton, and returned to the city.

17
To Captain Samuel Morris.
Sir, —
One of the delegates in Congress has just informed me, that there
has been a movement of the enemy, and some appearances of their re
tiring from Ehzabethtown. Under these circumstances, I think it best
to postpone the march of the Troop till we have further advices ; but
would have everything kept in readiness to go off at a moment's warning.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient, humble servant,
Joseph Reed,
President of the State of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, June 24th, 1780.

Joseph Seed, requesting an escort of the First Troop for the Chevalier
de Luscom, Minister of France (without date.)
Dear Sir, —
Last year the gentlemen of the Light-Horse were so obliging as to
escort the Minister of France on his way to camp. The Chevalier de
Luscom, the present Minister, is every way deserving our utmost respect
and attention. If it is not inconvenient, and an officer and twelve could
pay him the like compliment, it would much oblige
Your obedient and very humble servant,
Joseph Reed.
P. S. He sets off at nine o'clock to-morrow, if the weather is fair.
You will be so good as to let me know what order you give, and I will
inform the Minister accordingly.
Capt. Morris, of the Light-Horse.

General JV. Greene to Colonel Biddle, in reference to the French Am
bassador and his Escort by Troop.
(Presented to the Troop by H. J. Biddle, as will be seen by enclosed note
from. H. J. B.) Colonel Cox's, 7 o'clock in the evening.
April 27, 1779.
Sir, —
The Ambassador, with all his train, will be in camp to-morrow. He
sets out at seven in the morning, and intends dining with the General.
2

18
I left Philadelphia near three o'clock this afternoon. Your friends
were all well. I drank tea last evening with Mrs. Wilkinson.
The Philadelphia Light-Horse escorted the Ambassador as far as this
place, and made a very grand cavalcade.
Lay in plenty of forage, if possible, as the Minister's eyes are every
where, and to everything. He will think us more distressed than we
are if we don't furnish forage. Yours,
N. Greene.
Colonel Biddle.

Joseph Reed, ordering a detachment of Troop — four on each bank of
the Delaware — to intercept and arrest three suspicious men, known to
have passed up the river. Walnut Street, June 14th, 1779.
Sir, —
Information having been given me that some persons, under suspicious
circumstances, having come up the river, have passed on towards
Trenton, from which there is reason to believe they are spies upon some
dangerous errand, you are therefore desired to detach eight of the
troop, four on each side of the river, and apprehend these persons al
luded to. They are on board a small New York built boat, three in
number. They are two lusty men and a stripling, the latter supposed
dressed in blue. When taken, you will please to direct them to be
brought before me for further examination. You will also direct that
they be sent immediately, and if papers are found, that they be trans
mitted with the persons. I am, Sir,
Your obedient, humble servant,
Joseph Reed,
President.
To Capt. Morris, or, in his absence,
the Commander of the Philadelphia Light-Horse.

19

Departure of Mons. Gerard fixed for the following day, and detach
ment of Troop ordered to escort him to Chester ; enclosing Circular
Letter for calling out the Militia, and communicating the information
that he will command in person.
Sir, —
The uncertainty of Mons. Gerard's departure has prevented my giving
earlier notice to the Troop. But as to-morrow is fixed for that purpose,
I must request an officer to command to escort him to Chester. The
officer, by making inquiry at his house, or of Mr. Jay, will learn the
hour, but I believe it will not be an early one.
I also enclose you a copy of the circular letter, for calling out the
militia upon an important occasion. I shall have the honor of com
manding this body of Troop in person, and hope the Troop, or at least a
detachment of not less than twenty, properly officered, will once more
take the field against the common enemy. They will prepare for at least
two months' tour. Whatever is wanting from the Quarter-Master or
Commissary, within the proper line of requisition, will be furnished, and
every attention on my part to make the service easy and honorable.
I am, Sir, with great regard,
Your obedient, humble servant,
Joseph Reed,
Market Street, Oct. 17, 1779. President.
On Public Service.
To Capt. Samuel Morris,
Commander of the Troop of Light-Horse.

Sir, —
I presume you are informed of a most dangerous and unhappy
ags^in the Pennsylvania Line, in which two valuable officers have lost
their lives, and several privates have been killed. The last account was
that they were in full march for the city, but I hope this will not be the
case. It is our duty to be prepared for all events, and I have therefore to
request you would detach three of the Light-Horse to accompany Gen.
St. Clair and the Marquis de la Fayette — one of them to return from
Trenton, and the others to proceed with the Generals, and take the
further orders of Gen. St. Clair, and in the meantime the whole Troop
to be in readiness, as directed to-day.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient, humble servant,
Joseph Reed.

20
P. S. Gen. St. Clair and the Marquis set out at daybreak to-morrow
morning, from Connolly's Tavern, Race Street.
J. Reed.
January 3, 1780.
To Capt. Samuel Morris,
Commander of the Troop of Light-Horse, Philadelphia.

Middlebrook, 25th June, 1780.
Dear Sir, —
I have it in command from the Commander-in-Chief, to thank you
and the gentlemen of your corps, for your spirited intentions to join the
army. His Excellency is very sensible of the important avocations
which at present require the attention of the citizens of Philadelphia,
and as the enemy have left this State, he would not wish to deprive that
capital of the assistance which so many virtuous citizens must naturally
give to the laudable exertions now prosecuting for the public good.
The General doubts not that when the good of the service may re
quire it, Captain Morris and the gentlemen of the Philadelphia Light-
Horse will be always as forward to appear in the field as they have
hitherto shown themselves.
I proposed great pleasure to myself in personally delivering the
General's thanks to you, but a slight accident which happened to me
last night will deprive me of that satisfaction.
I have the honor to be, with very great esteem for you and the
gentlemen who compose your corps, Dear Sir,
Your most obedient and most humble servant,
Stephen Moylan^ 
Captain Morris, or officer commanding
the Philadelphia Light-Horse.

From Lieutenant James Budden to General Washington.
Trenton, June 26th, 1780.
Sir,— I am to inform your Excellency, that the Philadelphia Troop of Light-
Horse, consisting of thirty-eight, are thus far advanced, by order of his

21
Excellency President Reed, in consequence of the late alarm given by
the enemy's movement into this State. On my way to your head-quar
ters, I shall proceed through Norristown and Pluckemin ; in the mean
time, according to my orders, I have despatched a sergeant of the Troop,
with this previous information, to whom you will be pleased to signify
your pleasure, by which I shall be entirely governed.
And have the honor to be,
With the greatest respect,
Your Excellency's obedient humble servant,
James Budden.
His Excellency General Washington.

General Washington to Lieutenant Budden.
Head-Quarters, 28th June, 1780.
Sir, —
I was favored yesterday evening with your letter of the 26th, advising
me of the arrival of your Troop at Trenton. The spirit and alertness
which the Philadelphia Light-Horse have discovered on this occasion, is
such as to deserve my best thanks. I should have been happy in their
services, had the enemy continued in the Jerseys ; but as they have
evacuated this State, and as the necessity is over which called them out,
you will be pleased to return to Philadelphia. Indeed I thought to have
prevented your advance so far, having requested Col. Moylan, who was
going that way, after the enemy retreated, to countermand the order for
bringing you to camp. I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
George Washington.
Lieut. Budden.

Somerset, Tuesday, 27th June, 1780.
Sir, —
I am come by order of the Commander-in-Chief, to return you and
the gentlemen of the Philadelphia Light-Horse, thanks for the spirited
intentions they have shown to join the army under his command. As
the enemy has quitted the State with very little honor to himself, his
Excellency would not wish to deprive the capital of Pennsylvania of the

22
assistance which so many brave and virtuous citizens must give to the
laudable exertions now prosecuted for the public benefit. The General
doubts not, but when occasion requires, the gentlemen of your honor
able corps will testify the same readiness to take the field, which they
have shown upon this and every other occasion.
Stephen Moylan,
Colonel.
To Lieut. Commandant James Budden.

Dear Sir, —
I think our affairs are now in so good a train that it will not be neces
sary to detain the gentlemen of the Light-Horse from their business and
families. You will therefore dismiss all except five and one of the
officers, with my sincere thanks for their alacrity in turning out, and their
services on this occasion. Gen. Potter, Col. Allen, yourself, and Mr.
McClanachan, are appointed to settle the matter agreeable to the enclosed
proposals ; and the troops are so pleased with the appointment, that I
hope you will add this to your other kind offices in the business. And
the sooner you can come the better. I have sent to Philadelphia to have
all sort of necessary supplies sent up, and am with much esteem,
Dear Sir,
Your obedient humble servant, Jos. Reed.
Bloomsburoh, Jan. 11, 1781.
Capt. Morris, Of the Light-Horse.

Thomas Irvine, Isaac Coxe, and David H. Connyngham, were sent off
from head-quarters at Princeton, during the revolt of the Pennsylvania
line, by General Wayne and Governor Reed, to observe and watch the pro
ceedings of the British who were on Staten Island, with the Vulture
sloop-of-war lying off Amboy, with boats ready to take off any of our sol
diers that might wish to desert to them. Upon our leaving our quarters
at Mr. Schnenck's house, we came upon a picquet guard of the Board of
Sergeants, and were stopped, and taken before Sergeant Lyon (or Lucas),
and after a short detention, and explaining our orders, we were allowed
to depart; the two spies, Mason and Ogden, were then in charge of this
guard. We proceeded on the route to Amboy, and on a post near

23
South or Torresville, we fell in with Major Taylor with a party of Jersey
militia, and having been instructed what to do, we told him to take up
the plank, and even destroy the bridge, if the British should march that
way, and that we would return on the gallop if we met them. We rode
on until night, and lodged in a farm-house off the road. In the morn
ing, proceeded with Mr. Rathvon to his house at Perth Amboy, and
were conducted privately by him into his house, where we had our break
fasts and fed our horses, after which, he took us to the roof of his house,
where we saw the British army, their men indulging in playing foot-ball.
At last, from a signal from the ship, they beat to arms, and we had to
run fast, mount our horses, and ride off; the ship firing guns into the
woods that we passed along, and sent their boats on shore, but we were
soon out of their way, and returned to Princeton, and joined the army
in its march to Trenton. We were kept in the rear by order of the ser
geants. After reaching Trenton and relating to General Wayne, at
Bloomsburgh, what we had seen and done, we were sent to seek quar
ters; and after I had just lodging secured, I received an order to cross
the river and join the guard at Somerset, the house of Mr. Thomas Bar
clay, where the spies were sent, and Lord Sterling and General Wayne
and Major Fishborn were quartered. After great trouble and difficulty
from the ice in the Delaware, I reached it, and Poon after we received
orders to bring up the prisoners. Matters were soon settled by the
court-martial, and they were condemned to be hung next morning before
9 o'clock; and the execution of the order was given to Major Fishborn.
Ogden was much agitated and overcome upon hearing his sentence, but
still expected it would not be effected. Mason seemed to feel his situa
tion, but declared to the writer that if they hung him, he was in fault,
but that he would die a true and loyal subject of George the Third.
During the night, while on guard, they seriously asked me if they had
any hopes ; and I went and spoke with General Wayne, who decidedly told
me nothing could save them unless we let them escape, which would
involve us in trouble. I then procured a Bible from Mr. Barclay, and
past the night in reading it to them. Mason was devout, but Ogden
was in terror and distress. I got them something to eat, and in the
morning Mason slept a little while. After getting the best breakfast we
could obtain, and our Troop having crossed the river and joined us, we
were ordered to bring out the spies, and their sentence being again read
to them, and their hands secured by a rope, they were led to a tree
nearly back of Collin's ferry-house, and his wagon and a negro pressed
to hang them. Upon their being brought in the wagon to the tree, a
difficulty occurred for a rope, when Lieut. Budden saw a new rope collar
upon the horse my servant was on,' who had just arrived with clothes,

24
&c, for us from Philadelphia; with this, the business was soon finished,
and before nine, having orders to return home, we galloped off and left
them hanging; and we reached home that evening, after a severe week
in cold weather. Thus you will see the observation of my having read
the funeral service is incorrect ; but that I endeavored to prepare them
for the dreadful event, was, I hope, of service to Mason ; but the other,
Ogden, seemed so overpowered with terror, as to be incapable of due
reflection. I believe he was but little different from an idiot at his
home. If any other observations will serve you, I will make them
cheerfully. Mr. Connyngham further stated, verbally, that on the expedition,
1794, General Washington, Commander-in-Chief and President of the
United States, riding alongside of him, expressed warmly his respect for
the First Troop ; that he could scarcely convey how much he had always
felt himself indebted to the Troop, for their services during the Revolu
tionary War, and also their services on the present expedition ; that such
gentlemen turning out, was the means of inducing the other troops to
march more cheerfully.
The Sergeant Lyons, or Lucas, of the revolters mentioned, was after
wards a Judge in the western part of Pennsylvania, and was taken a
prisoner, as a suspected character in the insurrection of 1794, by a
detachment of the First Troop.

Sir, —
I have just received a letter from the President, wherein he describes
that £5000 state or hard money, should be forwarded on to Trenton so
soon as possible. I should be glad could you make it suit you to set off
to-morrow, with some one of your corps to bear you company. If it will
not suit you to go yourself, you will please to direct any one or two of
your corps to set off early to-morrow. It will much oblige

think it advisable the Troop of Light-Horse should be in readiness to

expected that every one not actually disabled by sickness will attend this

Camp at Carlisle, October, 1794.
The commanding officer of the First Troop of Philadelphia Light-
Horse feels himself bound, by duty as well as inclination, to acknow
ledge and applaud the conduct of the Troop under his command during
the late march : their strict attention to orders, their decent and gentle
manly deportment towards the inhabitants, and that spirit of harmony
and accommodation which they uniformly displayed, are happy presages
of the success which must attend the patriotic cause in which they are
engaged. May that noble spirit be ever continued, as the surest means
of obtaining the objects for which we contend,^-punishment of the guilty

Bedford, Nov. 23d, 1794.
To Col. Wm. McPherson, commanding the Infantry, and Capt. John
Dunlap, commanding the Cavalry of the Advanced Corps of the
Right Wing of the Militia army.
Gentlemen, —
In the hurry of making the arrangements at Pittsburg for the march
of the advanced corps of the right wing, it became impracticable to
communicate to you the general orders of the 18th inst. A copy of
them is now enclosed, and you will, of course, acquaint your respective
commands with the sentiments of our worthy Commander-in-Chief re
specting them and their fellow-soldiers' patriotic conduct in supporting
the laws, and the constitution, and the happiness of their country.
Whilst you are discharging this duty, I request you will likewise ex
press to them my high satisfaction with their soldier-like deportment
during the whole time I had the honor to command them. While I
live, I shall recollect with pleasure the fortitude and patience with which
they endured the severe toils and hardships of the campaign, and the
promptitude with which they obeyed every order. To my latest breath,
I shall keep in my mind, with the liveliest sensibility, the remembrance
of their politeness and attention to me on every occasion.
I am, gentlemen,
With sentiments of pure regard,
Your most humble servant,
Frederick Frelinghuysen.

Extract from William Findley' s (member in Congress) History of the
Insurrection in the four western counties of Pennsylvania, page 201,
202. " To drag men, unexpectedly and unprepared, from their wives and
children, from bed-time till morning, is an exertion that shocked
humanity ; and yet, in some imperious cases, the interests of humanity

30
require that it should be done. When it becomes expedient to make
prisoners of bold and intrepid men, accustomed to danger, it is necessary,
in order to prevent bloodshed, to take them by surprise ; nor is it less
expedient when they happen to be innocent, for in that case they might
be disposed to make the more desperate defence, and everything that
would add to a contest, was to be avoided, on this occasion, with pecu
liar care, as it was apprehended that some inflammatory spirits in the
army wished for a plausible pretext to burst the bonds of discipline, and
satiate their vengeance on a defenceless country. Though it appeared
in the result, that but a small proportion of those that were taken in
this manner, had done anything for which they could be punished, yet
those who were employed to take them bad no right to examine or
determine between the innocent and the guilty. But though the rigid
duty must be performed, no man of honor or humanity would add insult
or cruelty to unavoidable severity. I rejoice at having it in my power
to state, that in most instances, care was taken to employ men of cha
racter and discretion in taking prisoners. Capt. Dunlap, of Philadel
phia, and his troop, were sent to Muddy Creek, in the upper end of
Washington County. They took Colonel Crawford and son, Mr. Sed-
wick, a justice of peace, Mr. Corbly, a clergyman of the Baptist per
suasion, and others; they were taken early in the morning, and had no
opportunity of making resistance. Capt. Dunlap and his party, while
they behaved with the greatest dexterity in taking the prisoners, treated
them with as much politeness and attention as their situation would
admit of, and engaged their gratitude by accompanying unavoidable
severity with humanity."
Page 209. — " Capt. Dunlap had a discrimination in his orders be
tween witnesses and supposed criminals, and treated them all with hu
manity, and had them comfortably lodged and provided with victuals,
previous to his taking refreshments himself."

In 1795, the Troop gave a splendid entertainment to General An
thony Wayne.

Letter from Timothy Pickering, Secretary of State.
Philadelphia, June 20th, 1798.
Dear Sir, —
General Marshall, when alighting last evening at the City Tavern,
wished to have expressed his thanks to the gentlemen of the Troop of

31
Horse, who were so obliging as to attend him into town ; but the noise
and the crowds of people rendered it impossible. I assured him that I
would make known his sensibility at this mark of the polite, friendly,
and respectful attention of the gentlemen, whose liberality would be
satisfied with his reason for not attempting personally to offer them his
acknowledgments. This I beg leave to do through you.
I am, very respectfully, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Timothy Pickering.

Navy Department, 26th July, 1798.
Being informed that the French prisoners on their way to Lancaster,
under a small guard, have exhibited proofs of an unruly and mutinous
spirit, and being apprehensive they may overpower the guard, I have
the honor to request the favor of a detachment from your Troop of
Horse, to follow the prisoners, and see them safe in Lancaster gaol.
I presume that ten or twelve troopers, under the command of an
officer or non-commissioned officer, will be sufficient for this duty.
I have the honor to be,
With great respect, Sir,
Your most obedient servant, Ben. Htjddel.

Commanding the Volunteer Cavalry.

Philadelphia, July 26th, 1798.

hereby commanded to take sixteen men from the volunteer- Troop of
Cavalry, properly equipped and armed, and follow, with all possible speed,
the French prisoners now on their march to Lancaster, under guard of
a detachment of Macpberson Blues, whom you will assist in safe convey
ing of them to Lancaster gaol.

To the Members of the First City Troop of Horse.
Philadelphia, Nov. 17th, 1803.
Gentlemen, —
Your resolutions of the 27th July last, expressive of regret on the
resignations of our commissions and thanks for our conduct while officers
of the corps, have been politely communicated to us by James Gibson,
Esq., secretary to the Troop. In return, be pleased to accept our sincere
and cordial thanks for your zeal and alacrity in the service of your
country when called on, and your gentlemanly and friendly behavior to
us on all occasions. The approbation of a corps so ancient and honor
able as the First City Troop, whose existence commenced with the Revo
lution which ranked America among the nations of the earth, and whose
energies have been exerted to establish the freedom and happiness of
their fellow-citizens, is highly flattering, and will ever be held in grate
ful remembrance by us. With sincere and fervent wishes for the honor
of the Troop, and for the happiness and prosperity of the individuals
composing it, We are, gentlemen, with great regard and esteem,
Your friends and humble servants,
Jno. Dunlap,
Wm. Hall,
Robert Smith.

Donation to the Pennsylvania Hospital.
Some time during the year 1792, the gentlemen who composed the
Troop from the year 1776 to 1783, resolved to appropriate the pay ac
cruing from their services during the Revolutionary war, and which
amounted to eight thousand dollars, to the establishing of a " Foundling
Hospital," and Captain Samuel Morris, First Lieutenant John Dunlap,
and Quarter-Master John Donnaldson, were appointed to hold the money
in trust to be applied to that purpose.
The contributors to the Pennsylvania Hospital having been authorized
by an Act of the Legislature in 1793, to establish a lying-in and found
ling hospital, in 1807 the trustees offered to them the sum they held, to
be applied to that part of the establishment which related to foundlings.
The managers of the hospital declined receiving the donation upon these
terms, and set forth their reasons for so doing in a very voluminous

35
paper, which appears upon their minutes, and which proved satisfactorily
to the trustees, that experience had proved hospitals for foundlings were
not only not attended with benevolent results, but were productive of
serious evil to society. A committee was then appointed by the managers,
consisting of Zaccheus Collins, Wm. Poyntell, and Edward Penington,
to confer farther with the trustees, which resulted in their transferring
to the contributors of the Pennsylvania Hospital, sixteen shares of the
capital stock of the Bank of Pennsylvania, then worth eight thousand
dollars, and in which they had invested the pay, to be applied in such
proportions as the managers should deem most expedient, to the Lying-
in and Foundling Hospital ; they entering into obligations, that the
fund so given should be applied to the purpose intended, and also that
it should be known and distinguished in the books and acts of the
managers and otherwise, as "The Fund bestowed by the First
Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry to the Lying-in and Found
ling Hospital." Duplicate indentures were executed, as well as a
bond of' indemnity to the trustees, one remaining with the managers of
the Hospital, the other with the trustees, and the survivor of them and
their heirs ; the money was transferred, and the lying-in department of
the hospital went into operation first upon this fund ; all expenses at
tending it being charged on the books of the institution to the "Cavalry
Fund." All of which, as well as the indentures and bond, appear upon,
the books of the proceedings of the Hospital for the year 1807.

October 17th, 1808, the Troop chose the 50th regiment, Col. G..
Bartram, to be attached to, agreeably to the militia law.

To General Pinckney.
Philadelphia, 5th September, 1811.

SlR,-

The First and Second Troops of Light-Horse of the City of Phila
delphia, desirous of evincing their respect for one who has so eminently
distinguished himself in the service of his country, have unanimously
resolved to escort you on your departure from this city. We sincerely
hope, sir, that you will not disappoint our wishes, and beg you to inform

36
us of the manner and time of your departure. With the most profound
veneration, we remain your obedient servants.

General Pinckney' s Answer.
Philadelphia, September 5th, 1811.
Gentlemen, —
I have this evening received, by your letter of this day's date, the
very polite offer of the First and Second Troop of the Philadelphia Light-
Horse, to escort me on my departure from this city. Untoward circum
stances attending the sailing of vessels to Carolina, have rendered the
precise time of my departure uncertain, and I must decline the honor
intended me. Be so good as to present this excuse to the corps you
command, with my grateful thanks for this mark of esteem, and my
most ardent wish, that, if hostile aggressions should bring them into the
field of honorable conflict, the vigilant and undaunted spirit of Wash
ington may watch over and animate them to such deeds of heroic valor
as their country will approve and applaud. With my best acknowledg
ments for the very polite manner in which you have communicated the
resolutions of your respective corps,
I have the honor to be
Your most obedient and humble servant,
Charles Cotesworth Pinckney.
Capt. Cadwalader and Lieut. Crawford.

Captain Ross :
Sir, — We had no stage last night, and no mail to-day from Baltimore.
You will please, therefore, immediately on the receipt of this, to esta
blish a line of videttes from the nearest point on the present line to
some point as near as practicable to Baltimore, and send us intelligence
as speedily as possible of whatever may occur. If, at the extremity, or
at any other part of it, you should think it best to employ persons not

Committee will pay the expense. Employ any number of expresses you
may think necessary. Your most obedient servant,
Charles Biddle,
Chairman of the Committee of Defence.

Resolutions of the Committee of Defence. Oct. 10th, 1814.
The committee appointed to confer with the commanding general of
this district upon the videttes, report, That they have had a satisfactory
interview with General Gaines, who stated to your committee, that he
should consider the videttes in the service of the United States from the
time of their first being called out, and that he wished the committee to
make any necessary advances and give such directions as shall appear
proper. The General also stated, that instead of calling home the videttes,
he wished a line extended from this city to Egg-Harbor, and that the
expense would be borne by the United States, and the proper accountant
would settle the accounts as soon as he could make the necessary ar
rangements. Resolved, that the chairman be requested to inform Captain Ross of
the substance of this report, and that he will consider himself and troop
under the orders of General Gaines, and in the service of the United
States. Resolved, That the sum of $1000 be advanced to Thomas F. Learning
for the expense of the videttes under Captain Ross, to be settled and
accounted for hereafter.

General Lafayette : The Troop of City Cavalry that first welcomed

take its leave. In discharging this task, the regret of which is cheered
only by the hope of your speedy return, allow us to say, in addition to
the lively expression of public feeling which you have already witnessed,
that next to the ever memorable era which gave Lafayette to the wants
of a suffering and oppressed country, we shall bear in lasting and affec
tionate remembrance the period of bis restoration to its gratitude.
To you, General, as the companion in arms of the original members
of this Troop — to you, who have liberally mingled your blood with theirs
in the deadly struggle for a nation's rights — to you, who have promoted
the cause of virtuous liberty, wherever and whenever it has been asserted,
the First Troop of City Cavalry tender the homage of their unfeigned
regard. Whilst others, upon this occasion, with a warmth and an energy
of feeling peculiarly your due, open their bosoms to receive you, be
assured that the emotion which we experience in beholding as our guest
the distinguished individual who contributed to the achievement of our
national independence, though they may be equalled, cannot be sur
passed. The name of the illustrious Washington, connected with that of the
gallant and disinterested Lafayette, recorded in the best feelings of our
hearts, shall grow brighter in the lapse of time, and like the inexhausti
ble luminaries of heaven, they shall reciprocally borrow and reflect
lustre. To which the General replied :
"Return my thanks to the gentlemen of the First City Troop, and tell
them I feel grateful for their attentions to me while in Pennsylvania ;
that as the successors of my companions in arms I love them."
