"George Mecum Conarroe was admitted a member of the Sons of the Revolution, March 26, 1889, becoming a life member, and was elected to the Board of Managers, 1892. In the annual report of the Board for 1896, there is an obituary notice, much shorter than the above, which says in part :
"Although a man of retiring and domestic tastes, he took an active interest in public affairs, and in the affairs of the Protestant Episcopal Church, to whose conventions he was repeatedly elected a delegate. He was a vestryman of St. Mark's Church, and of the Church of St. James-the-Less, Philadelphia, and a member of the Philadelphia and Penn Clubs."
George Mecum Conarroe is said to have been a descendant of Luigi Cornaro, a noble Venetian, descended from one of the most noble and illustrious families of Venice, who died at Padua, 1565, at about the age of one hundred years. At the age of four score, he published a book on the advantages of temperance, in Italian, translated into Latin by Leonard Lessius, a Professor of Philosophy and Divinity in the Jesuit College at Louvain, who died January 5, 1623, aged sixty-nine years ;
189
BIDDLE
translated into English by Timothy Smith, an Apothecary of London, and pub- lished in that city, 1743. An original copy of this quaint old book can be found in the Philadelphia Library.
As a preface to this quaint little volume, is given an "Extract from Collier's Historical Dictionary", which gives the following account of the author :-
"Lewis Cornaro, descended from one of the most noble and illustrious Families of "Venice, was born in the 15th Century. He wrote a Book of the Advantage of Temperance, "translated into Latin, by Lessius. He died at Padua in 1565, being about a hundred Years "old. Thaunus in the 38th Book of his History gives a Character of him Part of which I "shall transcribe for the Reader : 'Lewis Cornaro' says he, 'was an extraordinary and admir- "able instance of Long Life; for he lived a hundred Years without any Decay in his "Health or Understanding. By his Temperance and the Regimen he observed, he recovered "his Constitution from some Infirmities, the Liberty of his Youth had brought upon him; "and likewise by the Force of Thought and Care conquered his natural Propensity to "Choler; insomuch that when he came to be old, he enjoyed an extraordinary Degree of "Health, and was remarkable for the Equality and Sedateness of his Temper, as he had "been formerly for his Passion. He wrote Books on this Argument in his Old Age, in "which he mentions the Disorder of his Youth, and promisses himselfe a great many Years "to come: Neither was he deceived in his Expectation; for he held out to above a "Hundred, and then died a very easy Death. His Wife who was no less aged than him- "self survived him."
The following quotation from the Spectator, vol. III, No. 195, is also given :
"The most remarkable Instance of the Efficacy of Temperance towards the procuring "of Long Life, is what we meet with in a little Book published by Lewis Cornaro, the "Venetian; which I rather mention, because it is of undoubted Credit, as the late Venetian "Ambassador, who was of the same family attested more than once in Conversation, when "he resided in England. Cornaro, who was the Author of the little Treatise I am mention- "ing, was of infirm Constitution till about Forty; when by obstinately persisting in an "exact Course of Temperance, he recovered a perfect State of Health; insomuch that at "Fourscore he published his Book. He lived to give a Third, or Fourth Edition of it; "and after having passed his Hundredth year died without Pain or Agony and like one "who falls asleep."
"The Treatise I mention, has been taken notice of by several eminent Authors; and is "written with such Spirt of Cheerfulness, Religion, and good Sense, as are natural Con- "comitants of Temperance and Sobriety. The Mixture of the old Man in it, is rather a "Recommendation than a Discredit to it."
EMLEN FAMILY
In the town of Shepton Mallett, Somersetshire, England, stands the old parish church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, on whose registers the name of Emlen, with its various spellings, frequently occurs. Of these the earliest is in the "Perfect Register of the names of all those that are now placed in the fore mentioned new erected seats by ye fore named persons to that purpose deputed and designed, made the 29th day of March, 1619, North Aisle on the East Side, Seat no. 4, Thomas Emblin, for his life : payment, IO s."
According to tradition the Emlen family came into England from Wales, on the early records of which country the name has been found.
The name Emlen can be traced to ancient dates. In Gibson's Camden's Britannia reference is made to "the old British name of Emlin"-"which was common among the Britains anciently, and is partly yet retained." "It was Roman and is the same with Æmilinus mentioned in Denbigshire, which the Inscription calls Aimilini." "Not far from Klokainog we read this inscription on a stone (which is doubtless an epitaph of some soldier of note, who can be but very little, if at all, later than the Romans) 'Aimilini
Tovisag' "
"The name Aimilinus we are to understand as the same with Æmilinus and that no other than Amilianus. As for the second word . Tovisag or Tovisaci; if the former, it is British and signifies a leader or general; and if the latter, it seems only the same word Latinised. "The place where this stone lies is called Bryn y Bedheu, which signifies the Hill of Graves, and . . . there is near it an artificial mount also
there are several circles of stones; and, in the same neighborhood, a place called Rhys y Gadva, or Battle-field." In "Archeologia Cambrensis," this stone is called "The Sepulchral Stone of Emlyn"; after some explanation it is there stated that: "The late Mr. Aneurin Owen, one of the most eminent Welsh scholars and archaeologists, considered this stone to be the memorial of a Welsh prince or leader, Emlyn; The tradition of the place seems constantly to have been in favor of this being the grave of a prince or nobleman named Emlyn; . I think there can be no doubt that this Emlyn Inscription is a very early one and that it dates from the fifth or sixth century."
This stone has now been removed for safety to Pool Park." As to the Roman origin of the name, further information can be educed (see Century Dictionary and Encyclo- pedia). Down as late as the middle of the sixteenth century, we find on the Emlen family records in England such names as Maximilian and Dionysius. In a history of Pembroke- shire, we read that Wales was "in Ancient tyme devided into Cantredes and Comotts"
"of these "Emlyn Cantred containeninge three Comottes" In this Cantred was New Castle Emlyn; called New Castle on account of having been rebuilt by Sir Rhys ap Thomas. Its ruins remain to this day, and concerning it, accounts have been written.
Our earliest information in regard to the founder of the family in Pennsyl- vania is taken from an "Account of the life of George Emlen, late of Philadel- phia", as given by his sons, Joshua and Samuel Emlen, which locates the birth- place of their father at Shepton Mallett.
According to the "Account", the parents of George Emlen, who are unfortun- ately not named, died while he was young, and in consequence George was placed "under the care and tuition of an Aunt, who was a Presbyterian. He was one of that people till he arrived at mature age, when .
. . turning a Friend, he was deprived of his Aunt's favor, or expectations from her, who was a Person of considerable substance in the World. When meeting her displeasure, he was necessitated to provide for himself," and came to Philadelphia in 1682. "with William Penn," as the account states.
On 12mo. 3, 1687-8, George Emlen "Vintner", received a Proprietory grant of
191
EMLEN
property on the north side of Chestnut street, between Second and Third streets. He subsequently acquired additional land adjoining and also on Sassafras street, by which name Race street was formerly known.
On 3mo. (May) 3, 1690, he and five others petitioned the Commissioners of Property for a reduction of the quitrents on their lots on Chestnut street, which was granted them.
George Emlen married first, 9mo. 12, 1685, Eleanor, daughter of Penn's commissioner, Nathanial Allen. She died Imo. 22, 1690. He married second, Hannah Garrett, June 5, 1694; she was born in Harby, Leicestershire, England, June 23, 1674, daughter of William and Ann (Kirk) Garrett, of Darby, Pennsyl- vania.
George Emlen died Iomo. 24, 1710. Concerning his death, his sons wrote as follows : "The evening after he had settled his worldly affairs and made his will, he called for his four sons, and his wife being present, he addressed himself to them after the following manner: 'Children I have been appointing somewhat for you, and do now advise you, to live in the fear of the Lord, and to be dutiful and obedient to your mother, and to keep to truth and plainness; to be loving and kind to your sisters;' with diverse other weighty expressions, and the next morning quietly departed this life, being on a Christmas day, so called, and on the 7th of the week, and the day following was decently interred in Friends' bury- ing ground, after the afternoon meeting, the Corpse being first carried to the meeting house and from thence to the burying ground, accompanied by a large number of Friends and others."
Hannah, widow of George Emlen, married, Iomo. 20, 1716, William Tidmarsh, of Chester, Pennsylvania, and died 6mo. 24, 1738. Of Hannah Emlen her sons Joshua and Samuel wrote: "she was a noble example to them [her children] in all that was good and laudable . an entire friend to the Poor and Dis- tressed ; undaunted in danger, an easy mistress and good neighbor, neither lavish nor penurious, but an example of industry as well to her own children as ser- vants . and dyed in peace."

Of George Emlen, the second, his brothers wrote that "being the oldest son he became a tender father to his brothers and sisters." He served his apprenticeship
192
EMLEN
with a brewer, in the later following of which business he greatly prospered. He took a prominent part in public affairs, being a member of Common Council of the city from 1730 to 1739, then an office of some distinction. In 1731, when the Philadelphia Library was founded, George Emlen was one of the charter members.
In 1735 he purchased property at Fifth and Chestnut streets, opposite Inde- pendence Hall, the family home for many years. It is not known whether he built the house near Camp Hill, Montgomery county, which, in the possession and occupancy of his son, George Emlen the third, became famous as Washington's headquarters. Recorded deeds show that George Emlen, "brewer", did own land in that neighborhood, to which he was no doubt attracted because of its nearness to his brother-in-law, Morris Morris, living at "Hope Lodge," a fine old mansion which still stands, a well preserved example of early Colonial architecture.
"Emlenton," near Tacony, recently taken down by Henry Disston and Sons, was also family property, the first owner of which may have been this George Emlen, or his son George Emlen, third of the name.
Mary (Heath) Emlen was a highly esteemed minister in the Society of Friends for nearly fifty years, and in this calling visited New England and other places.

It was to Hannah (Emlen) Logan that the pewter plate (see illustration) belong. The plate is one of a number of dishes so marked, now owned by Mr. Sidney Logan. Burke's General Armory, under: "Emline or Emley, Helmdon, county Hants. Sa. a wild man statant, wreathed about the loins and temples, holding with both hands a tree eradicated, all ppr. Crest : A demi wild man, as in the arms, holding with both hands a club over the right shoulder, all ppr. Motto: Honestum praetulit utili." The supposition is that the set to which the plate belonged was part of the outfit of Han- nah Emlen at the time of her marriage in 1740 to William Logan. Several seals of the arms and crest, as above described, are in possession of different members of the Emlen family in America, and the same crest appeared on the envelope enclosing a let- ter recently received from Dr. Charles W. Emlyn, of London, whose "great uncle, Arch- itect to George IV., is buried in St. George's Chapel," Windsor, where is a tablet to his memory. The Helmdon branch of the family appears about the middle of the 16th century, when Thomas Emylie, Esq., "Lord of the Manor of Netherbury, in the Par- ish of Helmedon, County Northampton," married Joyce, daughter of Thomas God- wyn, Bishop of Bath and Wells. This marriage may afford some explanation for the appearance of Emlens in the county of Somersetshire. The fact that Dionysius Emylie of Helmedon (who was apparently a brother of said Thomas) went to Wales to live, and there died at the advanced age of eighty-six years, may account for the tra- dition that the family came from that part of the country, although other Emlyns ap- pear on Welsh records. Said Dionysius had a son Thomas, baptized 1588, who could have been the same person who in 1619, made payment for Seat No. 4 "for his life" in the Parish Church at Shepton Mallet, as hereinbefore described. Another tradi- tion in the American branch is that a family connection existed, by marriage, with the Dryden family, which is explained from the facts that Thomas and Joyce Emylie's eldest daughter married Nicholas Dryden, brother of Erasmus Dryden. The granddaughter of this Erasmus Dryden married Sylvester Emlyn, father of Thomas Emlyn, the noted "champion of Arianism." Sylvester Emlyn was therefore brother-in-law to the Poet Laureate, John Dryden.

Samuel Emlen was one of the most noted ministers among Philadelphia Friends, and is known as Samuel Emlen "the minister" and "the seer." He is described as a slender, neatly built man, with a light, quick step. He was an apt scholar, being acquainted with Latin and Greek, and so well versed in the modern languages that he was able in his ministry abroad to address his listeners in their own tongues. After finishing his education, he became apprentice in the counting-house of James Pem- berton, but having sufficient means was never in business on his own account. He first spoke in the ministry in 1756, at a meeting in Ireland, while on his first visit abroad. Many anecdotes are told of his wonderful insight into the character and condition of those with whom he came into contact, and the startling words addressed to them. He visited England six times, also Ireland, Holland and the Barbadoes.

EMLEN
Joseph was the son of Samuel Reckless, iron-monger, of county of Nottingham, England, who in 1678 purchased one-fifteenth of a proprietary in West Jersey. Samuel's father, John Reckless, was the Nottingham sheriff referred to in the Journal of George Fox.
The following obituary notice appeared in Poulson's American Daily Adver- tiser, February 10, 1816:
"Died, on the fourth instant, in the ninety-sixth year of her age, Anne Emlen, widow, relict of George Emlen, formerly of this city, whom she survived about forty years. Of their posterity (several of whom have held conspicuous stations in civil and religious society, and departed before her), one hundred and forty-seven yet survive in the relation of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She herself long occupied the rank of an exemplary and charitable citizen, fulfilling with much propriety the duties of parent, friend, neighbor and mistress. She retained her faculties to the last; and very shortly before her departure, sensible of its approach, warmly recommended to her numerous descendants to live in harmony and moderation. Her remains, attended by a very numerous train of relations and friends, were interred on the 6th in Friends' Burial Ground, Mul- berry Street." She was buried from "Her late dwelling No. 179 [old number] Chestnut St."
George Emlen's Place, near Camp Hill, Whitemarsh Valley, which still stands, was the headquarters of General Washington from November 2d to December II, 1777. The first purchase was apparently made by his father and subsequently added to by George Emlen, third, "merchant." His city residence was at Chestnut and Fifth streets, opposite Independence Hall, formerly occupied by his father.
