1709-2017 (bulk: 1776-1952)
Creator:
Biddle family.
Extent: 14.5 linear feet (32 boxes)
The Biddle family has a long history on American land with Quaker ancestors emigrating in 1681 and settling in Philadelphia
around 1725. This collection documents the family relationships, and to a lesser extent, the work and military service of
six generations of one branch of that family, starting with Clement Biddle (1740-1814), and following the descendants of two
of his sons: Thomas Alexander Biddle (1776-1857) and Clement Cornell Biddle (1784-1855). These papers tell the stories, to
varying degrees, of more than 30 individual Biddle family members through correspondence, financial records, professional
papers, diaries, scrapbooks, and photographs.
