Background note:
Wetherill, Jones, Roberts, and inter-connected families, resided primarily in Burlington, New Jersey, and Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania (including Merion and Whitpaine Townships), between 1683-1904. Members of the Wetherill family include John, Christopher (who came to Burlington, New Jersey, in 1682), Thomas, Joseph, Mercy, Samuel, and his niece, Elizabeth Wetherill. Samuel Wetherill's daughter, Mary, married Isaac Jones of Philadelphia. Isaac Jones was a merchant who also served as treasurer for the Wiccacoa Meadow Company. The relationship of the Wetherills and Jones to the Roberts family of Whitpaine Township is unclear.

Scope and content
This collection contains records of early colonial Quaker organization, including meeting minutes from Friends groups in Haverford, Radnor, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as well as Burlington, New Jersey. Also included is a letter from William Penn (London, 1708), in which he mentions his meeting with the Queen and the departure of Governor Gookin for America. Several documents record the development of the Philadelphia Marsh by the Managers of Wiccacoa Meadow Company between 1738 and 1804. The collection contains letters to Job Roberts from Charles W. Peale and Rubens Peale, 1806, as well as other personal and business papers, travel diaries, and printed materials.

Wetherill & Co. and Wetherill and Brother, recording the sale of paint materials and drugs.
