Excerpt from The Individual and the Community: An Address Before the Chester County Historical Society West Chester, PaIt was with especial pleasure that I accepted the invitation of the Chester County Historical Society to come here as your guest to-day. For, upwards of two hundred years ago, my lineal ancestor, Thomas Wickersham, a Quaker farmer, came from England and settled in this county, within a few miles of this spot. I have in my possession a copy of the certificate given to him by the monthly meeting of Friends at Horsham, Sussex County, England, which throws an interesting light on the times in which he lived, and furnishes me with a text for the few remarks which I shall make. This certificate was issued by the monthly meeting held at Horsham, in the County of Sussex, the rith of the seventh month of the year 1700. It is ad dressed: To all our faithful friends and brethren in Pennsylvania unto whom this may come, in the covenant of life, in the fellowship of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ and in unity of the one eternal spirit of our God.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
