GRISCOM

CLEMENT ACTON GRISCOM, eldest son of Dr. John Denn Griscom, by his wife, Margaret Woodnutt Acton, born in Philadelphia, March 15, 1841, received his rudimentary education in the public schools of his native city, and after two years in the Central High School, completed his studies in the Friends' Academy.

A descendant of a family which had been identified with the history of Phila- delphia since the seventeenth century, he inherited traits of character which en- abled him to take rank among the prominent men of the city. Upon leaving school, at the age of sixteen years, he entered the old established shipping house of Peter Wright & Sons, as a clerk. Taking from the first an active interest in the business of this important firm, his occupation proved congenial and deter- mined his future career; giving evidence of strong and progressive business traits, he gained at the early age of twenty-two, a partnership in the business. Under his directing influence the firm began to purchase sailing vessels for their trade and the profits increased immediately and largely. More vessels were pur- chased, the business grew to larger dimensions, and eventually Peter Wright & Sons became the agents of the old American Line, one of the prominent Steam- ship Lines of that period. Following this came the formation of the International Navigation Company (whose line of steamships was known as the Red Star Line), accomplished through Mr. Griscom's negotiations, directly, with King Leopold of Belgium, and which company later absorbed the old American Line.

Mr. Griscom was elected Vice-president of the International Navigation Com- pany, May 13, 1871, and President, January 4, 1888; his company controlling and operating twenty-six ocean steamships, one of the largest fleets in the trade. The old Inman Line was purchased by the Company in 1886, and subsequently it contracted for the steamships, "New York" and "Paris," in which steamers Mr. Griscom was the first to introduce twin screws for passenger traffic in the North Atlantic trade, and which were so subdivided and constructed as to be absolutely unsinkable. Through Mr. Griscom's energy congressional legislation was secured which permitted these ships to sail under American registry.

In line with the patriotic sentiment which prompted this effort was the award- ing of the contract for the ocean liners, "St. Louis" and "St. Paul," to William Cramp & Sons Ship & Engine Building Company, and the result proved that his confidence in the ability of American shipbuilders to build the ships needed for American trade, was not misplaced. In the Spanish-American War the United States Government secured the use of several of the ships of the International Navigation Company, including the "St. Louis," the "St. Paul," the "New York," which was temporarily known as the "Harvard," and the "Philadelphia," which during her term of government service was known as the "Yale." These vessels played an important part in the naval engagements of the war, thus attaching to them a historic interest.

In 1902 the name of the International Navigation Company was changed to International Mercantile Marine Company, and its capital increased to acquire the fleets and business of the White Star Line, Atlantic Transport Line, Leyland Line, and Dominion Line. Mr. Griscom was elected president of the new com- pany, October 1, 1902, but resigned in February, 1904, to accept the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors.

In 1889 Mr. Griscom was a delegate to the International Maritime Conference

1072

GRISCOM

for revising the "Rules of the Road at Sea," at which the representatives of twenty-eight nations were present.

The Queen of Holland conferred upon Mr. Griscom the Decoration of "Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau" in recognition of the perfect discipline establish- ed upon the steamships of the International Navigation Company ; the particular occasion which prompted Her Majesty to confer the decoration being the rescue by the crew of the American Line steamship "St. Louis" of the passengers and crew, consisting of 212 men, women and children, from a disabled Dutch Trans- atlantic steamship, which sank shortly after the last boat-load had left the wreck. Mr. Griscom has also received the Decoration of the Legion of Honor from the French government.

Mr. Griscom was president of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers from 1893 until 1903, when he resigned and was made an Honorary Associate Member of the Society. He is also an honorary member of the British Institute of Naval Architects, an honor conferred upon but three others at that time, the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, Lord Kelvin of England, and De Lome of France. The responsible position which Mr. Griscom fills in the Steam- ship Company, with the intercontinental traffic, does not, however, occupy all of his time and attention, and he is actively interested in railroad and banking inter- ests. He was elected a director of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Septem- ber 24, 1884, and appointed a member of the Road Committee, October 8, 1884.

Clement A. Griscom is a member of the Society of Colonial Wars of the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania. He married, June 18, 1862, Frances Canby Biddle, born August 11, 1840, eldest daughter of William Canby Biddle, by his wife, Rachel Miller. See Biddle Family. They resided for some years in the city of Philadelphia, then for a short time at Riverton, New Jersey. Later he acquired a fine estate on the Main Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which he named "Dolobran," after the family home of his ancestor, Governor Thomas Lloyd. Here Mr. and Mrs. Griscom have entertained many distinguished visitors to Philadelphia. Mrs. Frances Canby (Biddle) Griscom is a member of the Society of Colonial Dames of America.

CANBY FAMILY.

THOMAS CANBY, one of the prominent men of Bucks county, Pennsylvania in early colonial days, was born at Thorne, Yorkshire, England, in 1667, and was son of Benjamin Canby, by his wife, a sister of Henry Baker, of Lancashire, with whom Thomas Canby came to Pennsylvania in the "Vine," of Liverpool, which arrived at Philadelphia, September 17, 1684. His father, Benjamin Canby, ap- pears to have resided later at Liverpool, as Henry Baker, in his request to Falls Monthly Meeting, 5mo. 1, 1685, that the Meeting fix the time that his nephew, Thomas Canby, should serve him in payment for the expenses of his passage to America, and for six months during which "he rested with him at his charge," states that he was a "son of Benjamin Canby, late of Liverpoole." The meeting fixed his term of service at five years. After the expiration of service to his maternal uncle in Bucks county, he located near Abington, Philadelphia county, and on October 27, 1693, married, under the auspices of Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, Sarah Jarvis, and after residing for a few years near Robert Fletcher, in Abington township, removed to Solebury township, Bucks county, where he pur- chased an interest in the Mills near New Hope, and in 1717 purchased 444 acres of land lying along the Buckingham line, where he resided until 1729, when he purchased 200 acres at the intersection of the Old York road, with the Durham road at the present village of Buckingham, where he resided until about 1740, and then returned to his Solebury farm. He was clerk of Buckingham Meeting, at its organization into a Monthly Meeting in 1720, and served for a number of years as clerk and overseer, and also "had a gift in the Ministry." On 5mo. 6, 1741, he took a certificate from Buckingham Meeting for himself and family to "New Work Monthly Meeting in New Castle county," and located at Wilmington, but remained less than a year, returning to his Solebury farm where he died Novem- ber 20, 1742. He was commissioned a Justice of the Peace of Bucks county, and Justice of the several courts thereof, December 2, 1719, and regularly recommis- sioned until February 23, 1723, from which date to May 12, 1725, he was out of commission, but after the latter date was regularly recommissioned until near the time of his decease, the last commission of which we have record being No- vember 22, 1738. Serving in the Provincial Assembly from Bucks county, in 1721 and 1722, he was again elected in 1730, 33 and 38; and was succeeded in 1739 by his son, Thomas Canby, Jr.

Thomas Canby was a man of sterling integrity of character and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all with whom he came in contact, while his many acts of charity and Christian kindness endeared him to the community in which he lived.

Sarah Jarvis, first wife of Thomas Canby, died at Abington, April 8, 1708, and he married, June 2, 1709, Mary Oliver, born in Radnorshire, Wales, December 9, 1677, fifth child of Evan and Jean Lloyd Oliver, who left Radnorshire, "about ye beginning of ye 6 month 1682," and arrived at Upland (now Chester), Pennsyl- vania, "ye 28th of ye 8th Month, 1682," according to a record in their own family Bible. Mary (Oliver) Canby died in Solebury, Bucks county, March 26, 1720-1, and on October 9, 1722, he married at Middletown, Jane Preston, a widow, who survived him.
