Of Philadelphia
John Price, who was born in Philadelphia, was an extensive manufacturer of white lead in that city, and was Chairman of the Select Council there for twenty years. The Wetherills were Quakers until the Revolutionary War, when, on account of their service in the army, they were excluded from the church, and soon after started the society of Free Quakers, building a church at the corner of Fifth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia.
