INTRODUCTION The following list of certificates of removal, now printed for the first time, will be of value, it is believed, not only to genealogists but to historians, in the broader sense, interested in investigating the early migratory movement to Penn's Colony. As the metropolis of the new Province on the Delaware, Philadelphia became better known abroad than any other part of Pennsylvania, and a large proportion of the steady steam of Quaker colonists which poured into the Province made this city its objective point. Of the nineteen monthly meetings established in Pennsylvania prior to 1750, as the writer's investigation of the manuscript records has shown, Philadelphia Monthly Meeting easily ranks first as to the number of certificates received. It is a significant fact that these Quaker immigrants to Philadelphia were among the most prominent and influential of that sect which, for the first three-quarters of a century of the existence of the Province gave color to its social and political life, and remained the controlling force in governmental affairs. The Minutes of Burlington Monthly Meeting, in New Jersey, to which the Friends at Philadelphia belonged before the founding of their own monthly meeting, record that among the first monthly meeting for Philadelphia Friends was that held at Thomas Fairman's house at Shackamaxon, now Kensington, in the early part of 1682. Later in the year, the meeting was removed to the city proper, and a meeting-house was erected. According to the Minutes of Friends of Philadelphia, to treat of business occurring among themselves, was held there the 9th day of the 11th month, being the third of the week, in the year 1682." At this opening meeting steps were immediately taken that 'friends of this meeting do bring in their Certificates from the respective meeting of friends they belong'd to in other Countries, and that they be Registred according to the time of their arrival here, in this province." At the next meeting, 12 Mo. 6, 1682, "Several friends brought in their Certificates as ordered by the foregoing meeting, but not being Endorsed with the time of their arrival were returned to them and Expected to be seen Endorsed the next meeting." At the following meeting, held 1 Mo. 6, 1683, "Certificates were brought in and Read. Agreed that they would be Registered and afterwards returned." During the earliest years of the meeting's history nearly all the certificates of removal recieved were recorded, and but few of the originals were retained for preservation. Later many of them were both recorded and preserved. A large number, however, were never recorded, and it was only recently that these unrecorded origianls were arranged, mounted, and made accessible for examination. In abstracting from the certificates, the writer has endeavored to include all the more important points of each certificate, and has quoted items that seemed especially interesting or quaint. When record of the receipt or arrival of a certificate has been found in the Minutes, it is noted. The early Minutes seldom record the receipt of a certificate, although the later Minutes do in most cases. The compiler is especially grateful to George J. Scattergood, of Philadelphia, who kindly secured him access to the records at Fourth and Arch streets. He is also under obligations to William C. Cowperthwaite and Lydia Evans of Friends' Book Store, at Fourth and Arch streets, for courtesies extended while he was examining the records. He is indebted to Joseph M. Truman, Jr., and Benjamin Walton, for permission to search the records at Fifteenth and Race streets; and he desires to thank Gilbert Cope, of West Chester, and Howard Williams Lloyd, of Germantown, for valued criticisms on the work.
