OMG! Anne Curtis Clay is the Curtis Center. Cool history. I forgot they were all Quakers then! It was against the law to dance. She was one of the first dance teachers. The "Big" George Washington actually went to the shows.

Cool little item , greenacres !

D'ya think it is designed to hold beer/mead ?

It sure (I don't know the dimentions) looks like a plan for somebody(s) to get hammered , though ; "Yes , dear ... the mug told me to ..." .

Neat research story , so far .

I've got some original Phil documents (newpaper-sized) from the 1870's , census stuff , I'm pretty sure .... will haul them out just to see if there happens to be anything valid on 'em , related to the folks/addresses IMO it's a good thing to have any original (of the time period) docs , v/s the photocopied & such , for a provenance ... give me a few days , please .... they're old & fragile , like me !

Found the connection, lol ;D Capt. Matthew Cline knew Hyam Solomon. I got smart! ;D Haym Solomon built the first synagogue "Mikvah Israel" in Philadelphia. Cline was a Jew. I checked to see if he was a member and contributor. BINGO!

Yes. It wasn't John Cline. It was his son Matthew who may have been married there.

you may want to substitute the C with a K ..as in Kline..or Klein.as this was the more common way of spelling.this name.... many people and Not only Jewish people did this...as a way of hiding there true origins...my father did it whilst in a POW camp in Italy...the proper spelling of my surname is Omelyash...which is Ukrainian.....but the way its spelt now is Omelasz...which sounds and looks Polish...this was done...because after the war..the Russians were hunting down any Ukrainians that had joined the Germans...so as a means of self preservation...Wasy l  Davidovich Omelyash became ...Wasyl Omelasz...had he not done so...I probably would not be sitting here today....

I'm still not sure. The Cline's only live in the till 1753, so it's confusing. The synogogue wasn't built in the 1780's. I have someone helping me. Hopefully they will get back to me soon. Haym was very famous by 1780. I'm working on it. I have a book I want to look at the I bought several years ago. It's called "Philadelphia, A 300 Year History". I want to see if there is any info that could give any ideas. Then, I wait for the appraiser to get back to me. They are doing some research.
