(1) 150 Chestnut Street was the home of Charles Biddle, Nicholas Biddle's father. In 1810, when Clark first met Biddle, the latter, only recently returned from Europe, and unmarried, probably resided with his parents at this address.

(2) "Woodlands," situated west of the Schuylkill River, and therefore beyond the city limits, does not appear in City Directories of the early 1800s.

(3) George H. Eckhardt. Pennsylvania Clocks and Watchmakers N.Y., 1955, indicates this address for Lukens for the years 1818-1829. We have no location for him for the years 1803 -1814.

(4) Gray's Ferry, like "Woodlands," was west of the Schuylkill River.

(5) Prune, also spelled Pruen, is now Locust Street,
