Biddle, Edward, 1738-1779
Edward Biddle (1738 – September 5, 1779) was an American Founding Father, soldier, lawyer, and statesman from Pennsylvania. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1774 and 1775 and a signatory to the Continental Association.
Born in Philadelphia, Biddle's formal education was limited to the common (public) schools and ended at about age fourteen. When the French and Indian War began in 1754, he joined the provincial forces as an ensign. By the time he left the service, at the end of the war in 1763 he had been promoted to captain. After the war, Biddle read law in the offices of his brother-in-law, George Read. By 1767 he had been admitted to the bar, and the couple moved to Reading where he began his practice.
