Biographical NoteFrom 1770-1776 Bingham was the British consul in St. Pierre, Martinique. He remained
in the West Indies for four more years serving as an agent of the Continental
Congress, overseeing commercial privateering and espionage. By the time he returned
to Philadelphia Bingham had amassed a considerable fortune. He owned a fleet of ships
and broad tracts of land in Maine, New York and Pennsylvania and over time became the
wealthiest man in America. Bingham was one of the founders of the Bank of
Pennsylvania, chartered on Dec. 31, 1781 as the Bank of North America, the first bank
in the United States. In 1791 he was elected one of twenty-five directors of the
first national bank, the Bank of the United States.
Bingham was also a statesman with considerable political power. Washington, Franklin,
Hamilton, and Lord Shelburne, England's prime minister were counted among his friends
both politically and socially. They, along with business acquaintances, foreign
visitors, relatives and friends, were frequent guests at the Bingham mansion in
Philadelphia, where he and his much admired wife, the former Anne Willing, were the
social leaders of the nation's first capital. Their daughter, Anne Louisa Bingham,
married Alexander Baring, later first Baron Ashburton, 1774-1848, who with Daniel
Webster resolved the boundary line of northeast Maine between the United States and
Canada. The Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 also provided for the suppression of
slave trade off the African coast.
Bingham’s life and career are described in
The Golden
Voyage
by Robert C. Alberts (1969). His land interests are detailed in
William Bingham’s Maine Lands, by Frederick S.
Allis, in two volumes (1954).
Scope and Content Note
Consists of the papers of William Bingham, of Philadelphia. Letters may be found
throughout the collection in addition to the General Correspondence section. An index is
available for selected correspondents. Among the correspondents, other than the Baring,
Bingham, and Willing families, are: George Hamilton, Earl Aberdeen; George Keppel, Earl
Albemarle; John Charles Spencer, Viscount Althorp; Fisher Ames; Charles Bagot; Marquis
Francois de Barbe-Marbois; Henry Peter Brougham, Baron Brougham and Vaux; Henry Clay;
David Cobb; John Craig; Edward Everett; George William Featherstonhaugh; Albert
Gallatin; Alexander Hamilton; Thomas Hodgkin; Henry Richard Vassal Fox, Baron Holland;

Correspondence of interest includes a letter by Thomas Jefferson to Anne (Willing)
Bingham while he was still in Paris, Feb. 7, 1787; the letter by George Washington to
William Bingham enclosing the plan for his barn, Dec. 8, 1792; and, the letter by Lord
Lansdowne (Earl Shelburne) to Mrs. Bingham concerning the Gilbert Stuart full-length
painting of George Washington, Nov. 1796.
Business papers include those of the Bank of the United States, 1791-1801, and Bingham's
shipping interests, chiefly pertaining to the "Canton" and the "America." Of particular
interest in the materials relating to ships taken by privateers, is the controversy
surrounding the ship "Hope" and whether it was legally taken as a prize. Bingham's
substantial ownership of land in Maine, New York and Pennsylvania is represented by
accounts, deeds, maps, and settlement instructions. Noteworthy in the Webster-Ashburton
Treaty section are the correspondence and dispatches of Daniel Webster and materials
discussing the slave trade.
