This is a collection of letters, letterbooks, account books, scrapbooks, etc., concerning the families of Robert Hare and Thomas Willing. The letters and other documents include early family material, as well as documents written by numerous family relations, and some obviously only collected by them. The Willing family letters (1744-1901) are diverse, concerning family matters, business, society, comments on the Civil War, etc. There are numerous letters from Thomas Willing, many concerning his banking career, as President of the Bank of North America and later at the first Bank of the U.S. The Hare family letters (1724-1965) are more extensive and diverse, including much on travel in the U.S. and elsewhere. There is a letter from Robert Hare Jr. concerning steam engines, and letters from Horace Binney Hare concerning his education at Harvard, 1860, his trip to San Francisco and the west, 1862, and numerous letters written while a soldier in the Civil War. There are many letters from Horace Binney (1780-1875, DAB) to his daughter Esther, who was married to John Innes Clark Hare (1816-1905, DAB), concerning family travel and court cases. There are also letters from outside the family, such as those from Dorothea L. Dix. The bound volumes include, among others: Robert Hare letterbooks (1824-1825, 1841-1857), estate records, and laboratory expense accounts (1818-1860); G. H. Hare's journal or log of cruises aboard the U.S. United States (1841) and U.S. Flint (1845); Horace Binney Hare's 1862 journal of his trip to San Francisco. There are account books and accounts (1754-1795) kept by Thomas Willing; accounts of the controversy over the estate of John Innes Clark; and records of the First Colored Wesley Methodist Church of Philadelphia (receipt book, 1820-1848; minute book, 1827-1844). There are also Philadelphia court records, and minutes of the Common Council of the city, 1832.
Robert Hare, an English immigrant in 1773, was a prominent businessman and served in the Pennsylvania legislature and as a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania. He married Margaret Willing, sister of Thomas Willing, who was a banker and official and legislator in Pennsylvania. Their son, Robert, was a chemist and inventor and taught at the University of Pennsylvania. In the third generation, John Innes Clark Hare was a distinguished Philadelphia judge. His son, Dr. Horace Binney Hare was an instructor of Chemistry and professor of Hygiene. Married to Emily Power Beale in 1868, they had five children, Robert Hare, Charles Willing Hare, Esther Binney Hare, Horace Binney Hare, married to Ellen Mary Cassatt, and Thomas Truxtun Hare, a track and field Olympic medal winner in 1900, 1904.

Early American History Note
This is a large and wide ranging collection on materials. The collection contains over 1300 individual items along with 53 bound volumes, which range from letter books to records of the First Colored Wesley Methodist Church. Letters to and from the various members of the extended Hare-Willing family compose the bulk of the loose correspondence.
The Willing Family papers consist of over 500 items ranging from 1744 to 1863, with the bulk from the nineteenth century. The early papers relate primarily to the business career of Thomas Willing, former partner of Robert Morris and President of the First Bank of the United States. The family was later involved in establishing the Baring Company. The letters from the 1820s onward are an assortment of personal and professional correspondence of Thomas Willing’s son, Thomas Mayne, and grandchildren, mostly between Charles Willing and his sister Elizabeth Sterling, that touch on matters political, social, cultural, and economic. Topics of discussion include poetry, literature, medical treatments, and social customs and mores, including things such as dueling and courtship. Because of their financial situation, the letters discuss important economic events, such as the Panic of 1825, which resulted in the Stirling family’s business closing. Politics is occasionally but not often discussed. Some of the records relate to the estate they received from their parents.
Numerous letters detail the family’s history, including discussions of education, travel, finance, and relationships within the family. Some of the family news is deeply personal, including discussions of medical and financial problems, miscarriage, and unhappiness with others in the family. Notably, there is a series of letters written by Charles Willing in the 1820s and 1830s from European cities, such as Milan, Rome, and Paris.
The Hare Family correspondence is equally focused on the nineteenth century. The Hare family correspondence includes letters from Robert Hare Jr., the leading chemist of his day, and Horace Binney, a leading legal thinker of his day whose daughter married into the Hare family. The nature of the Hare correspondence is very similar to the Willing correspondence, although there is more correspondence that is political in nature. Discussions include education, family matters, personal affairs, and current events. Some of the letters from the Civil War era capture the mobilization of the city.
Of particular note, the Binney correspondence discusses his involvement in the legal case regarding the Stephen Girard Estate. Girard’s heirs contested portions of his will that gave portions of his estate to charity. Binney argued successfully against the heirs’ claims, who were themselves represented by Daniel Webster, in the Supreme Court. The Court’s decision established important case law for protecting charities. The collection includes a letter Binney wrote to his wife while sitting in the Supreme Court amidst arguments. Also of some interest may be a diary kept by Charles Hare, nephew of Robert Hare, that details his escape as a British prisoner of war from the French jail at Verdun in 1809; the diary is typescript and the originals are not part of the collection.
The major difference between the Hare and the Willing portions of the collection – aside from the letter writers - is the chronological focus. The Hare collection is particularly focused in the 1840s onward. The Willing correspondence is strongest in the 1820s-1840s.
The Hare-Willing Collection also includes over 50 bound volumes that range from the colonial era to the Civil War era. The volumes are diverse and include account books, receipt books, letter books, travel journals, and minute books from Philadelphia organizations. A chronological list of the books with brief descriptions follows:
1. Accounts of Thomas Willing (1754-1760) and Estate of Capt Sam Appowen, 1767-1776 - A ledger book that records the financial transactions of Thomas Willing during his years a prominent Philadelphia merchant, including his time as partner of Robert Morris.

2. Accounts of Thomas Willing, Thomas Willing Francis and/or the firm of Willing and Francis, 1789 – 1795 - Ledger book contains a wide array of transactions conducted, which appear to be commercial in nature and include supporting “adventures” to India, Martinique and other places abroad, which provides insight into the range of commercial activity in the early republic and the goods being brought into and sold.

9. Thomas Willing’s Account with the Bank of the U.S., property of Charles Willing Hare, and Letters and Accounts of Thomas Mayne Willing regarding the Bingham Estate, 1810-1822 - This ledger has three types of documents. The first is a brief account of the will and estate of Charles Willing Hare. The second details Thomas Mayne Willing’s accounts and stocks held in the First Bank of the United States, an institution for which he eventually served as president. These accounts may also be related to the Hare estate. The final set are the records of the Bingham Estate, and Thomas Willing’s execution of it, which include a series of letters from the 1820s. These letters are sometimes personal and discuss a range of topics, such as attempts to have a family member receive a commission in the Navy
