Architects page 54-55. Was an important master builder who remained active in the building trades throughout his life, although few buildings can be attributed to him. The son of Gunning and Mary Bedford of New Castle, DE, he appears in Philadelphia by 1746 and as early as 1749 is associated with Robert Smith (q.v.) at the Second Presbyterian Church, 3rd & Arch Sts. Following service as a lieutenant in the French and Indian War, he is engaged as a surveyor for The Carpenters' Company. And, in fact, Bedford was a prominent member of The Company; his election predated the earliest surviving records of the 1760s, and he served on committees or an an officer prior to the Revolution and a President from 1791 to 1794. Like most members of The Carpenters' Company, Bedford supported the Revolution and the Federal Constitution. According to Jacob Hiltzheimer's diary, Bedford built the ill-fated triumphal arch erected on Market St. in 1784. Decorated with paintings by Charles Willson Peale, the 40-foot-high structure was to mark the conclusion of peace. Unfortunately the freshly executed painting caught fire and the entire structure and a supply of fireworks were spectacularly destroyed. Bedford's triumphal arch erected for the July 4, 1788, celebration of the ratification of the Federal Constitution survived to its purpose. Bedford joined in the Grand Federal Procession to carry at the head of four hundred fifty "architects and house-carpenters" a placard painted to display "designs in architecture." The following year, Bedford was elected an Alderman for Philadelphia. A portrait of him by Charles Willson Peale survives in the possession of Mrs. Hugh C. Montgomery, a descendant. (Painting located on 1st floor of Carpenters' Hall). Analysis of painting by John C. Milley, formerly of INHP, in Bedford file, 2nd floor. See Selected Bibliography in Tatman & Moss Bio Dictionary Phila. Architects. Papers at American Philosophical Society, and article reference. *Bedford was a "signer" of Continental paper currency. *See C.E. Peterson's book, "Robert Smith", page 18, col 2, last para: Smith and John Thornhill measured and valued Thomas Nevell's work at Mt. Pleasant. Thomas Nevell, in turn, had measured Gunning Bedford's Port Royal, among those with whom Smith was most deeply intertwined was Samuel Rhoads. Like Smith, Rhoads sometimes acted as a designer and a contractor although he became wealthy as a developer. Rhoads, along with Joseph Fox, was a manager and designer for the Pennsylvania Hospital, a project for which Smith was a consultant. Rhoads served in the same capacity for the Almshouse. He handled the finances when Smith built Benjamin Franklins house, where another Company member, Robert Allison, executed the interior woodwork. Rhoads and Smith served together on a committee of the APS, overseeing a platform to observe the Transit of Venus in 1769. *INHP Library - Gunning Bedford and David Evans named to committee to prepare a plan and estimate of expense of erecting a city hall (5th & Chestnut Sts.) *Will proved April 2, 1802.

Betts, who had been elected a member in 1841, decided that the asterisks (indicating deceased members) were too indefinite. He thereupon undertook to supply the year of death of all deceased members, as well as the year of their election. In his own rule book he entered in ink beside each name such data as he could locate, presumably drawing his information from the roll books of the Company and the minute books kept by the wardens and assorted committees. In the course of his investigations he picked up from the early surviving minutes the name of a member who should have been included in the 1786 list as a deceased member. This was Ebenezer Tomlinson who was last mentioned in the warden's minute book in 1767, when he received assistance from the Company. But for the 21 names in the 1786 Rule Book which preceded Joseph Fox's name, Betts was able to locate only two death dates, and one of those -- for James Portues -- was incorrect. --------------------------- Carpenters' Co.

Betts served on the Book Prices Committee from 1859-63, 1866-71, and 1873-87. Betts was on the subcommittee to inquire on reoccupying Carpenters' Hall in 1856. Mark Isaksen, in his Thesis, Early Concepts of Hist Early Concepts of Historic Preservation: The Restoration: The Restoration of Carpenters' Hall, 1857-1876, Betts was the primary force behind the restoration and essentially became the first Company Historian by managing historical records and objects and putting them on display for the Carpenters' Company and the public. Betts also wrote a booklet on the history of the Carpenters' Company. Betts hailed from a Quaker family and lived on Filbert street near Schuylkill 8th. He died in 1890.<br /><br />Biography from the <a href="https://www.philadelphiabuildings.org/pab/app/ar_display.cfm?ArchitectId=77FC8075-155D-0A04-0690A715CEF4B867">Philadelphia Architects and Buildings</a> site, a project of the <a href="https://philaathenaeum.org/">Athenaeum of Philadelphia</a>.
