About This Item

03/09/1796. Thomas Mifflin

Benjamin Chew was a prominent attorney in Pennsylvania in the Revolutionary War era. He represented the interests of the Penn family, served as Pennsylvania Attorney General, and rose to the position of Chief Justice of Pennsylvania in 1774. With the post war adoption of a Pennsylvania constitution, Governor Thomas Mifflin in 1791 appointed Chew to the High Court of Errors and Appeals, a post he held until 1806. Chew was also noted as a friend of George Washington and John Adams. Chew’s home, called Cliveden, is today a tourist attraction.

Mifflin signed the United States Constitution, was the first governor of Pennsylvania, serving from 1790 to 1799.

Document signed, September 3, 1796, confirming a transfer of land to Chew in the county of Cumberland for the sum of 855 pounds.

There is also a land document signed by Chew dated April 12, 1804, transferring the land to the King family.
