About William Bingham
William Bingham, Merchant, of Pine Street, Philadelphia (1723-1769)
William was the only surviving son of his father through whom he inherited considerable property in and around Philadelphia. His mother was a first cousin of Mary (Budd) Allen, mother of the Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, William Allen. He served as an Ensign in the French & Indian War and became profitably engaged in the West Indian rum trade with his brother-in-law, Joseph Stamper. In 1745, he married Molly ("whose attractions were referred to very enthusiastically by William Black"), daughter of John Stamper, Mayor of Philadelphia, who built them the house in which they lived at 224 Pine Street: "distinguished by its red-and-blue glazed brick, its ancient columnar doorway, and its low steps. The interior of the house was finished... with elaborate paneling, wainscoting, heavy doors, etc.". The coach-house and stables were located on Stamper's Alley and the parlor (to what is now more usually called the Blackwell House) is now on display at Winterthur. Bingham's son, William, was reckoned to be the most powerful man in the country during the Revolutionary era. ref- [https://househistree.com/people/william-bingham-1723-1769]

Although William Bingham is said to have been the product of "humble stock,"4 the term in his case is misleading. His immigrant ancestor John had been a goldsmith of London. His great-grandfather James removed from New Jersey to Philadelphia, where he was a blacksmith by trade, a vestryman of Christ Church, and a large property owner at his death. A second James, who was a saddler, also increased the family property, all of which eventually fell into the hands of his only surviving son William. William married 1745 Mary, the daughter of John Stamper one time mayor of Philadelphia. They had five children, the youngest Pennsylvania Gazette and Weekly Advertiser, November I, 1780.
