March 28, 1843 VILLAGE RECORD
Marriage On Tuesday evening, the 14th inst., by the Rev. A. Babbit, Rev. JAMES LATTA, of Octorara, Chester county, to Miss ELIZABETH SHIPPEN, daughter of the late Robert Shippen, Esq. of Drumore, Lancaster county. http://www.rootsweb.com/~paslchs/Drumorenews.html
Note: Robert Shippen died Dec. 31, 1840 and is buried in the Chestnut Level Presbyterian Cemetery, as is Rev. James Latta (#1) of Br. 8 and his wife, Mary Alison Latta.
The Philadelphia Rare Books and Manuscripts Company at www.prbm.com
Shippen, Elizabeth. Manuscript on paper, in English.
Lancaster County, PA, 1831–42. 8vo (19.7 cm, 7.75"). [134 (approx. 67 blank)] pp.
[SOLD]
Commonplace book both of transcribed pieces (e.g.,
Heber, Cowper, Roscoe, Mrs. Barbauld, and Thomas Hayes Bayly, plus bits from The
Christian Disciple) and original contributions from Miss Shippen and a large
number of her friends and relatives. Both the Shippen family and the
next-best represented family in this volume, the Puseys, were well established in
the greater Philadelphia area by the beginning of the 19th century; and prominent
Philadelphians appear here, including Margaret Rhees (wife of Dr. Benjamin Rush
Rhees, the first dean of Jefferson Medical College, whose poem "On the Order of the
Books of the New Testament" was "Copied [in] by a Friend of the Author").
Other specific place inscriptions include such Pennsylvania locations such as
Pottstown, Meadville, Center[re]ville, Fairview, and Mechanics Grove, with outliers
such as Wilmington and "Fonte Salutis." An obituary apparently from a Hagerstown,
Maryland, newspaper is copied in, and one poem regrets leaving "lov'd Stapely." Two
items are dated at "Chestnut Level," i.e., Chestnut Level in Lancaster Co.,
Pennsylvania; Elizabeth Shippen married the Rev. James Latta (whose similarly named
ancestor had been the pastor at the Chestnut Level Presbyterian Church from 1771 to
1801), and one of the several acrostics in this book-one of its last entries - is
"An acrostic on the name of an infant, a favourite niece of the author," with the
lines spelling out "Margaret Ann Latta." Notable Lancaster family names include
Housekeeper, Swift, Grubb, Snyder and Parry.reading “To Miss Elizabeth Shippen from her aunt Margaret Shippen, Phila[delphia] March 1831.”
• Contemporary half morocco with marbled paper sides,
leather edges tooled in gilt, spine gilt extra with gilt-stamped
title “Album”; binding lightly worn, with extremities rubbed. Two leaves excised, with a few leaves
deliberately affixed to one another. Occasional light spotting,
generally internally clean. 
A remarkable record of the interconnections,
thoughts, and literary tastes of upper-crust 19th-century
Pennsylvanians.
