AMOS STRETTELL, b. Dublin in 1720, son of the Councillor, was brought by his parents to Philadelphia when a lad, and became his father's assistant in his business. Wm. Black says in his Journal : " He [Robert Strettell] had only one son who lived with him, about 19, and was in partnership with him in Trade, he appear'd to be a very Promising Sober and well Inclin'd young Man, and much At- tached to Business, even Uncommon for his years." On the day of his father's election as Mayor, he was chosen one of the City Corpora- tion ; and he followed his father in the esteem of the Proprietary

Party. The Governor and Council urged the Assembly to appoint him one of the Provincial Commissioners to spend the money raised for defence, but without success. In 1764, Amos Strettell was on the ticket which carried the election for Assemblymen from Philadelphia County, ousting Benjamin Franklin and Joseph Galloway from their seats in the House. The other counties, to be sure, returned the for- mer representatives ; so the majority continued to be against the Pro- prietaries. On the important divisions during the session, Strettell voted with the Churchmen &ct. opposed to changing the government. The City corporation, however, after they "packed " it against Isaac Norris, in 1741, became the stronghold of the Proprietary party ; and such Quakers as were admitted by the very exclusive members, who had the sole power of adding to their number, were deemed by them very moderate and liberal. Yet to be Alderman, estimating the value of that title by considering on whom it was conferred during those times, was an enviable honor. In 1766, none having been chosen the preceding year, it was carried to add two to the list; and Amos Stret- tell and Samuel Shoemaker (see Shoemaker) were elected. He d. Jany. 13, 1780, as appears by the following obituary in the Pennsyl- vania Gazette of Wednesday, Jany. 19, 1780: " On Thursday after a short illness Amos Strettell, Esq : departed this life in the 60th year of his age. In the public stations which he formerly filled as Representative in General Assembly for this county : an Alderman of the City : a trustee of the General Loan Office and of the College, he obtained the approbation of his fellow citizens; as a merchant he was eminent and intelligent; in the more silent path of private life de- servedly beloved by his family and the poor, for affection and benefi- cence. His remains were deposited on Sunday evening in the family vault in Christ Church burial ground, respectfully attended by a large number of the principal inhabitants." He m. Xt. Ch.

SAMUEL HASELL.
Several persons of the name of Hasell appear in Hotten's Lists as in St. Michael's Parish, Barbadoes, about 1680. Thomas Hasell, probably brother of the Councillor, died in Phila. Oct. 25, 1726 aged 32 years : and William Hasell, " of Barbadoes, but at this time resid- ing in Phila., merchant ; " by his will proved in Phila. Jany. 15, 1754, setting forth that he was about to embark on a voyage to Barbadoes devised all his property to his nephew Samuel Hasell (son of the Councillor) after legacies to the four children of James Benezet and an annuity to Mrs. Margaret Settle of Barbadoes.
SAMUEL HASELL, the Councillor, was born in Barbadoes in 1691. He came to Philadelphia about 1715, and, engaging in mercantile business, acquired a considerable estate. He was elected a Common Councilman of the City Oct. 2, 1728, Alderman Oct. 7, 1729, and Mayor three times, 1731, 1732, and 1740. He acted as Treasurer of the City Corporation for many years, and was also one of the County Justices. He was called to the Provincial Council Oct. 9, 1728, and in 1731 qualified as a Master in Chancery of the Governor's High Court, founded in 1720, but abolished in 1735. Hasell was many years a vestryman of Christ Church, and at one time Warden. He joined Peter Evans in opposing the appointment of Rev. Richard

Peters as Rector in 1741, no doubt aware of the importance of keeping the Church independent of the office-holding coterie, with which Peters was allied. Hasell d. in Phila. June 13, 1751, and was buried in Christ Church ground. His will, making provision for his wife during her life, gave his property to his seven children, his son Samuel taking a double share. At the partition in 1756, the real estate exclusive of the widow's share was appraised at 32891. 10s., the messuage, store, and wharf, with a front of 50 ft. on Water Street, being allotted to Samuel at 1475l.
The Councillor m. about 1718 Anne, only dau. of Samuel Bulkley by his w. Anne Jones. The parents were Friends, and, Samuel Bulk- ley dying when his daughter was quite young, the mother became the 2nd w. of Joseph Growdon, an early Councillor (see Growdon).
