Historic Rock Ford's America250 Lecture Series welcomes Joseph Seymour as he presents “Who Where the Pennsylvania Associators?”
Authorized 21 November 1747 by resolution of the Military Association, and organized 7 December 1747 at Philadelphia, the Associators eventually organized in all Pennsylvania and Delaware counties served the colony and state until superseded by the passage of the Militia Law, 17 March 1777. Members of the units thereafter reorganized as elements of the Pennsylvania Militia. Over its thirty years of existence, Associators served the colony and state in numerous capacities. The talk will focus on the service of some of their more notable members, and the ways in which their service intersected with that of Edward Hand.
This presentation will begin at 6:30 PM in the Langmuir Education Room located on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn. It will be approximately three hours in length. Please note that admission is for the lecture only and does not include the Snyder Gallery.
