BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

The members of this family were descendants of Johannes Caspar Wister and his wife Anna Katherine Wüster of Hillspach (near Heidelburg), Germany.  Two of their sons came to America: John (1708-1789) and Caspar Wister (1696-1752), the owner of a glasshouse in New Jersey.  John became a merchant and real estate investor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. John's son, William (1746-1800), became one of the most eminent and wealthy merchants of the city. William's nephew, Charles Jones Wister (1782-1865), was also a merchant and was interested in such scientific pursuits as botany and mineralogy.  For the most part, the business papers in this collection come from these earlier generations, as well as from Charles Jones Wister, Jr. (1822-1910) and another John Wister (1776-1862).

 

The personal papers are from later generations of Wisters, descendants of John’s grandson John (1776-1862).  Fortunately, a genealogical chart included with the papers helps to keep straight who is who. 

 

 

SCOPE AND CONTENT

 

Business papers consist of 18th and 19th century bills, receipts, deeds, and account books.  Included are records of merchants William Wister, John Wister, Charles Jones Wister (Sr. and Jr.); and of the firms Wister and Ashton; Miles and Wister; and Wister, Price and Wister. In addition, there are record books of Adam Konigmacher and Co., William Rotch, and J.H. Stevenson and Co., as well as a group of deeds to various properties in Philadelphia, Germantown, and Bristol township, Pennsylvania, and New York.

 

Rounding out the business papers are about 70 manuscript volumes (receipt books, account books, bank books, checkbooks, memorandum books, index books, order books, invoice books, ships records, and diaries) and miscellaneous loose items.

 

In addition to the business papers described above, there is a small collection of personal papers. These include diaries of Elizabeth Wister (b.1870); invitations sent to Sarah Logan Starr (b. 1903, daughter of Sarah Logan Wister and James Starr); a notebook kept by Elizabeth Wister containing poems written by French poets, but the bulk of which is an address book; a notebook containing extracts from others’ writings and genealogical information, which belonged to Sarah Logan Fisher Wister; papers relating to the estate of Sarah Edythe Wister Chichester (1860-1935); a genealogical chart of the descendants of John Wister (1708-1789), compiled in 1927; and bound copies of The Swallow, a newsletter printed by members of the Wister family.

           

 

ORGANIZATION

           

The papers are in two series: business papers and personal papers.  The business papers are roughly organized by type and date.  The personal papers are arranged in accession number order.

Series II: Personal papers

 

Series II, Box 1: 

 

Folder 1:          00x19.1-.2       The Swallow, May 1884-March 1886 (2 copies)

 

This was a monthly publication put out by Wister cousins who lived at Belfield: Frances, Sarah L., and Anne.  Although both volumes begin with May 1884, that apparently was not the first number.  The issues contain stories, letters from friends and family members, jokes, puzzles, notices about the family, and poems.  One copy bears the signature of Mary Tiers(?) Wister and contains a photo of a dog.  The other copy contains a photo of a small child, a young girl, a teenage girl, and two photos of the same dog, identified on the back of one as a cocker spaniel named Jet acquired by Langhorne Harvey Wister in 1894.  As well, this copy includes some genealogical information about the Wister family.

 

 

Folder 2:          00x21  Notebook labeled in front “Presented and made by T. R. Fisher [illegible] S. L. Wister March 1831”

           

            This belonged to Sarah Logan Fisher Wister, wife of William Wister (1803-1881).  The notebook contains extracts from the writings of others and genealogical information (including some obituaries) about Fisher, Wister, Lindley, Rodman, and other families.  Pinned inside the front cover are an invitation to a funeral (1848) and an account of property sold at auction for Sarah L. Wister.

           

 

Folder 3:          00x22              Papers relating to the estate of Sarah Edythe Wister Chichester (1860-1935), chiefly letters between John C. (“Jack”) Wister and Sarah (Mrs. James) Starr; also includes “Inventory and Apraisment” of the estate

 

 

Folders 4-5:     00x24.1-.2       two scrapbooks containing printed and handwritten invitations to Sarah Logan Starr, fall 1921 and winter 1921-1922; the front covers of both volumes are decorated with seasonal watercolors

 

                        The invitations are to dinners, dances, weddings, theater performances, bridge parties, and luncheons.  As well, there is an invitation to become a member of the Junior League of Philadelphia.  Calling cards are also included.

 

 

Folder 6:          00x26  Composition Book of Sallie [i.e. Sarah] Tyler Boas, Harrisburg, 1853-1856

           

                        Contains stories and letters written by Sallie.

                        [Sallie married John Wister.]

 

 

Folder 7:          00x28  notebook labeled “Elizabeth Wister Poetry”

           

                        The poems are by French poets.  However, most of the book is used to record names and addresses.

 

 

Folder 8:          00x29              “The American Diary, 1885” kept by Bessie Wister, Duncannon, Perry Co., Penna., United States (Elizabeth Wister, b. 1870, daughter of John and Sarah Tyler Boas Wister); also a letter from James Starr to Bessie, written from Maine, Sept. 23, n.y.

 

                        She mostly records her recreations, such as ice and roller skating, coasting (sledding), performing tableaux, going to church, visiting, making taffy, going for rides in sleighs and pony carts, jumping rope, attending a magic show given by Keller [one of the major American magicians of the late 19th century], fishing, going to parties, attending a football game, etc.  She mentions few chores such as studying, washing, cleaning house, cooking, and making dresses.  She makes mentions of holidays, such as Washington’s Birthday and Decoration Day, as well as others.  She and her family took trips to Chester, Nova Scotia, and to Gettysburg, as well as made visits to relatives.

 

 

            00x30.1-.2       “Excelsior Diary” for 1889 and 1890, kept by Elizabeth Wister, Germantown (same diarist as above)

                       

                        In 1889, she mentions attending school, taking painting, music, and dance lessons, going shopping, enjoying parties and balls, attending weddings, being in love and being courted, being fitted for dresses, putting on a play at school, and spending the summer at Duncannon and in Maine.  The entries for fall are very few; she seems to have been making the debutante circuit at the end of the year.

 

                        In the beginning of 1890, Elizabeth is still on the debutante circuit but is already engaged to Charles Stewart Wurts.  She mentions sewing, going to classes, and visiting, but most of the book is blank.

 

Folder 9:          photos of portraits of Catherine Wister Miles (b.1742) and Samuel Miles; the original Samuel Miles portrait is at Corcoran Gallery; the original Catherine Wister Miles portrait is in private hands

 

 

On shelf:

 

00x31  “Chart of the Descendants of John Wister, 1727-1927,’ compiled by James W. Wister, printed by Harry M. Elliott, Germantown, 1927

 

                        Descendants of John Wister (1708-1789), originally from Germany, settled in Philadelphia, 1727.
