General Notes: Husband - Hon. Thomas McKean

---

He was a member of Congress and a Signer of the Declaration of Independence, from Delaware, and afterward governor and chief justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

He removed from Newcastle, Delaware to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on his second marriage and resided for a number of years on High, (later Market) Street, near Second. On December 20, 1780, he was granted permission by the Supreme Executive Council to reside in Rev. Jacob Duche's house on the east side of Third Street, which had been confiscated on Mr. Duche's flight to the British. Judge McKean purchased the house on August 10, 1781, and it was his residence until his death, when it passed to his eldest son, Joseph Borden McKean, by bequest.
