Logan-Fisher-Fox family papers, 1703-1940.

Title: Logan-Fisher-Fox family papers, 1703-1940.

The Logan-Fisher-Fox collection focuses on the members of three prominent Philadelphia Quaker families. The material offers a study of the minds and lifestyles of several generations of active members of the Society of Friends and is a valuable source of information on family life, highlighting the position of women in the family. There is much correspondence, especially in William Logan's and Thomas Fisher's papers, concerning trans-Atlantic trade and the Anglo-American Quaker community. The collection also documents the families' involvement in the anti-slavery movement, Indian relief efforts and educational projects involving both Indians and African Americans. The Logan section concerns James Logan, Secretary to William Penn, his eldest son, William and William's son, William Jr., an apothecary apprentice of Dr. Joseph Fry and medical student. William Logan's correspondence (approximately 200 items) reflect Quaker perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic on the growing conflicts between Great Britain and her colonies. Of additional interest is correspondence, 1763-1800, concerning the courtship and marriage of Sally Portsmouth and William Logan, Jr., which was discouraged by his family, and the guardianship of William Portsmouth Logan, their child, after the death of his father. The Fisher section includes 500 items of the Post-Revolutionary correspondence of Thomas Fisher, merchant and brewer, 1780-1810. In addition to business concerns Thomas Fisher's correspondence documents his active role in the formation of Westtown, a Quaker boarding school, his views on the Non-importation Agreement and free trade, and his interest in the education of Indians and the abolition of slavery. The William Logan Fisher papers document his apprenticeship in a counting house, and his later whaling business through extensive family correspondence. They are particularly useful for their commentary on the economy, politics, slavery and abolition. Also included here are the manuscripts of Sarah Lindley Fisher, second wife of William Logan Fisher, Elizabeth R. Fisher and Mary Fisher Fox important for their depiction of the life of the 19th century wife and mother. The Fox section focuses on the letters of Samuel and George to their brother Joseph M. Fox. Both Samuel and George graduated from medical school, but Samuel left the profession in 1828 to work in his father-in-law's New York counting house. Included in this section is a small group of Lindley family material, the bulk of which concerns Jacob Lidley, a missionary to the Indians. The Miscellaneous section includes photographs, newspaper clippings and other printed material.
