BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

Edward Pusey attended Prospect Hill Boarding School, the location of which is unknown. He was the son of Jacob Pusey, who was listed as a cotton manufacturer in the 1853 Wilmington directory. The school was likely in southeastern Pennsylvania as many of the students were from that area, as well as Baltimore, Maryland, and Wilmington, Delaware.
