General Notes: Husband - Hon. Thomas Kittera

---

He was one of the most eminent lawyers of the Philadelphia bar, whither he came with his father shortly before the latter's death. He was graduated at Princeton College and shortly afterwards was admitted to practice as an attorney-March 8, 1808. He was deputy attorney-general of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1817, and again in 1824. He represented Philadelphia in the United States House of Representatives in 1826-27.
As he was an only son and never married, the direct male line ended with him. He was a man of varied culture, learned, not only in his chosen profession, but well versed in literature and the arts. He was a public speaker of great eloquence and power, and his handsome and intellectual face always commanded attention. He was Grand Master of Masons of Pennsylvania and presided over the Grand Lodge of that fraternity in 1826, 1827 and 1828. An elegant oil portrait of him, painted by Thomas Sully, and presented to the Grand Lodge by Miss Snyder, hung in the Grand Master's office in the Masonic Temple at Philadelphia.
