THOMAS
was made a member of the Supreme Executive Council, then vice-president, with Benjamin Franklin as president, in whose stead Captain Biddle often served as presiding officer. This position made him the acting Chief Executive of the State of Pennsylvania.
He was elected to the Legislature, but before taking his seat, resigned to be sec- retary of the Supreme Executive Council, serving as such until the new Constitution became effective. He was elected prothonotary of Common Pleas Court, Philadel- phia, and later served several terms as a member of the State Senate. He was appointed by the President to sign the Treasury notes issued by the government, served as a member, later as vice-president of the State Board of Property, and was an original member of the Society of the Cincinnati, which he at one time served as treasurer. He was for many years a director of the Bank of Pennsyl- vania. During the French agitation, in 1799, he assisted in organization of a militia company for preservation of order at home.
Captain Biddle was an intimate friend of Colonel Aaron Burr, and while the colonel was under a cloud by reason of the killing of Alexander Hamilton in a .duel, he (Burr) spent some time at the house of Captain Biddle in Philadelphia. Captain Biddle died at his home in Philadelphia, April 4, 1821.
Captain Charles Biddle married, November 25, 1778, Hannah Shepard, at Beaufort, North Carolina, and of their children, ten in number, was Nicholas, of whom further.
(V) NICHOLAS BIDDLE, fifth child and son of Captain Charles and Hannah (Shepard) Biddle, was born in Philadelphia, January 8, 1786. He was an intel- lectual prodigy, completing a course at the University of Pennsylvania at the age of thirteen, and taking his degree at Princeton University in his fifteenth year, dividing first honors with a much older classmate. Too young to be admitted to the bar, he went to Europe as secretary to General Armstrong, United States Min- ister to the Court of France, and was present at the coronation of Napoleon as Emperor in Paris. He was afterwards detailed to matters winding up the Louisiana Purchase, and later became secretary to James Monroe, then United States Minister at London.
Returning to Philadelphia, he took up the practice of law and devoted much time to literary pursuits. He served in the Legislature, both Assembly and Sen- ate, and as a member of the latter body, aided the government greatly in bring- ing the War of 1812 to a successful conclusion. Universal attention was attracted to his State paper, the reply to the address of the Hartford Convention. In 1819, he was elected a government director of the Bank of the United States, and later was elected president of this institution. In matters of internal improvement and commerce he was declared to be one of the most far-seeing statesmen of his age. For many years he was president of the Agricultural Society of Philadelphia, and devoted much attention to the development and improvement of the country resi- dence, "Andalusia," inherited by his wife. He was the first to introduce the breed- ing of Alderney cattle, and greatly encouraged the cultivation of the grape, then a new industry in Pennsylvania. Governor Packer wrote of him that "he was twenty years in advance of the age in which he lived." He died at "Andalusia," February 27, 1844.

Hilde- burn (Camden, 1879) : "The Inscriptions in St. Peter's Churchyard, Philadelphia" (copied by Rev. William White Bronson), pp. 28-29. Family data.)
(II) JOHN CRAIG, son of James and Janet Craig, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, probably before 1757, or after 1761, and died in Philadelphia, May 29, 1807. He was buried in the Craig and Biddle vault in St. Peter's Churchyard in Philadelphia. Below his name on the tablet erected to his memory are the words :
"Tis needless to record his worth, He who best knows it, will reward it.
Prior to 1788 he resided on the Island of Tobago, which is one of the Wind- ward group of the British West Indies, but the length of his residence there is not known. Following the career of a merchant, in 1791, he is recorded as part owner, with his father, of the warehouse at No. 12 Dock Street, Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania. In 1793, he located permanently in Philadelphia. "His beautiful country seat on the Delaware River was name 'Andalusia' by Commodore James Biddle, who was at the time living in Andalusia, Spain. By John Craig's daughter's mar- riage with the late Nicholas Biddle, it became their place of country residence, and is still (1880) occupied by their descendants."
John Craig married, in 1780, Margaret Murphy Craig. (Craig-Line Two -- II.) Children :
I. James, born about 1787, died January 28, 1832, aged forty-four years; buried in the Craig and Biddle vault, in St. Peter's Churchyard, Philadelphia.

(The Craig Line-Two.)
(I) CHARLES CRAIG was born in the city of Dublin, Ireland, March 16, 1727, and died February 20, 1804. His will, dated May 9, 1799, bequeaths his whole estate, with the exception of certain legacies, to his two daughters. He seems to have owned considerable real estate in Monaghan County, Ireland, which was involved in law suits. During the latter years of his life he lost his eyesight.
Charles Craig had two brothers and one sister. Caldwell Craig, one of his brothers, called himself Caldwell Craig of the Island of Tobago, Planter. He lived partly in England and partly in Tobago. He married, in 1774, Mary Kirkpatrick Hiskell, who was born July 20, 1755. Caldwell Craig died in 1795, leaving no issue. His widow married again, in December, 1796, Alexander Campbell.

Biddle
The Biddle family from which Mrs. Arthur Biddle (Julia Biddle) and her late husband, Arthur Biddle, descend, has contributed since early pioneer days to the life of the country, serving it loyally in times of war and peace through many generations.
(I) WILLIAM BIDDLE, pioneer ancestor of the Biddle family of Philadelphia, was born near London, England, about 1630, and died at "Mount Hope" in 1712. He left London in July, 1681, and came to New Jersey. He is said to have been an officer in the Parliamentary Army during the Civil War in Eng- land, but soon after its close joined the Society of Friends. His name appears among the list of persons imprisoned by Mayor Brown, 1660-61, for attending "non-conformist" meetings. He purchased, on January 23, 1676, of William Penn, Gawen Lawrie, Nicholas Lucas, and Edward Byllynge, a one-half share in the lands of West Jersey, and became, therefore, one of the proprietaries of that Province. His later purchases, as shown by the early records of the Prov- ince, made in all one and three-quarter shares of the sixteen shares into which the Province was divided by the original purchasers, entitling him to 43,000 acres.
William Biddle and his family, on their arrival in New Jersey, probably at once took up their residence at the site of the town of Burlington, where he occu- pied a house as late as September 26, 1682. On this plantation, which he named "Mount Hope," he took up his residence, and it remained the home of his descend- ants for many generations. It was situated about midway between Burlington and Bordentown. He and his wife were prominent members of the Society of Friends and Quarterly Meetings of the Society were held at his house at "Mount Hope." He was a justice of Burlington County from 1682 until his death; was one of the ten members of Governor's Council in 1682 and reelected 3 mo. 15, 1683. He was one of the trustees selected by the Proprietors to conduct the business of the Pro- prietorship, February 14, 1687, and regularly reelected thereafter, serving as president of the board of trustees, 1706-07. He was a representative in the Gen- eral Assembly of the Province at Perth Amboy, in 1703.
William Biddle married, at Bishopgate Street, Friends' Meeting, 12 mo. 7, 1665, Sarah Kemp, born in 1634 and died in New Jersey, 2 mo. 27, 1709, in her seventy-fifth year. Children, all born in London :
I. Elizabeth, born June 25, 1668, died in childhood.
2. William, of whom further.
3. John, born December 27, 1670, died in childhood.

Jersey. He was appointed by the Council of Proprietors on November 2, 1703, to treat with the Indians for lands above the Falls, and at his father's death inherited 12,905 acres of land in the Lotting Purchase.
William Biddle married, about 1695, Lydia Wardell, granddaughter of Eliakim Wardell, who purchased lands at Nevesink of the Indians, in 1666; was sheriff of Monmouth County, in 1683; a member of the House of Deputies, in 1688; and a member of the General Assembly in 1692. She was great-granddaughter of Thomas Wardell, French Huguenot, who settled in New England about the middle of the seventeenth century. She was a member of the Friends' Meeting at Shrews- bury.

John Biddle married, at Quaker Meeting, March 3, 1736, Sarah Owen, daugh- ter of Owen Owen, a wealthy farmer in the present limits of Montgomery County, a descendant of the family of Owen, of Dolly Sene, Wales, one of the most ancient in Great Britain. Children :

(IV) CLEMENT BIDDLE, son of John and Sarah (Owen) Biddle, was born at the Biddle homestead, Market Street, between Second and Third streets, May 10, 1740, and died in Philadelphia, July 14, 1814. He engaged in the shipping and importing business with his father and brother, Owen, which continued until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, during the continuance of which nearly his whole time was given to the service of his country. He was one of the signers of the Non-importation Agreement of 1765. He was one of the organizers of the "Quaker Light Infantry," originally formed to defend the Conestoga Indians from the Paxton boys, 1763-64, and served in the Jersey campaign of 1776-77. On July 8, 1776, he was appointed deputy quartermaster-general of the Flying Camp, composed of the militia companies of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with the rank of colonel. On October 15, 1776, General Greene, then at Amboy, appointed

He participated in the battles of Princeton, Germantown, Brandywine, and Monmouth, and shared the sufferings of the camp at Valley Forge, where he was accompanied by his wife. He was appointed by President Washington, United States Marshal of Pennsyl- vania, and was quartermaster-general of Pennsylvania Militia for many years, offi- ciating as such during the Whiskey Insurrection of 1794.

(VI) GEORGE WASHINGTON BIDDLE, son of Colonel Clement Cornell and Mary Searle (Barclay) Biddle, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, January II, 1818, and died in the spring of 1897. He was educated in St. Mary's College, Baltimore, Maryland, and admitted to the bar, January II, 1839. He was a lawyer of international reputation, and devoted almost his entire time to his very extensive private practice. Among the few public positions which he consented to accept were those of school director, member of common council, trustee of the gas works of the city of Philadelphia, and member of the Fourth Constitutional Convention of Pennsylvania in 1872 and 1873. In this last-named body he was particularly prominent, representing the First Senatorial District, composed of the First, Sec- ond, Third, Fourth, Seventh, Eighth and Twenty-sixth wards of the city of Phila- delphia.
