Title A name given to the resource Lownes, William Description An account of the resource William Lownes was a master builder elected to The Carpenters' Company prior to 1768. From 1773 through 1775 he was elected a Philadelphia City Assessor and was probably actively floowing his craft inasmuch as he took several apprentices in the early 1770s. After the Revolution he lived in Bucks County and was excluded from The Company, probably for failure to pay his dues, in 1809. <br /><br /><em>Written by Roger W.

A prominent master builder "conspicuous for talents, ingenuity and industry; as a citizen, distinguished for active participation and usefulness; and as a man, for integrity and the faithful discharge of the various duties of social life." Born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, England, the son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Pullen) Loxley, he came to Pennsylvania in 1734 to live with his maternal uncle who placed him as an apprentice to W. Joseph Watkins. Free of his articles in 1742, Loxley promptly married his former master's sister, and armed with -- as he later recalled -- "a choice chest of tools, books of architecture, a bible and a Psalm book. . .I went on right well and got plenty of work and good pay." A timely inheritance and successful investments gradually made Loxley prosperous (he would later claim losses of $60,000 from the British occupation of Philadelphia), and like Joseph Fox (q.v.), Robert Smith (q.v.), and Thomas Nevell (q.v.), he became one of the leading members of The Carpenters' Company, which he served on committees or as an officer through the years prior to the Revolution. No structures can specifically be associated with Loxley. Like most senior members of The Carpenters' Company, he realized the bulk of his income from dealing in lumber, speculative building, and measuring the work of other craftsmen. Most of the surviving documents refer to these business activities. In 1768, Loxley, Nevell and Robert Smith were appointed a committee to acquire the lot on which Carpenters' Hall would ultimately be erected to Smith's design. That same year, Loxley and Smith were jointly proposed for membership in the American Society but were not elected, "being members of the American Philosophical Society." Loxley was an "encourager" to the Philadelphia edition of Abraham Swan, "The British Architect" (printed by R. Bell for J. Norman, 1775), the first book of architecture published in America; he subscribed for two copies (the only other person to take two was Robert Allison, q.v.) Like most of his fellow master builders, Loxley actively supported the Revolution. During both the French and Indian war and the Revolution, he served as an officer of artillery and recruited heavily for the American cause among the building trades. Jane Watkins, his first wife, died 22 September 1760. Later married Catherine Cox. See Selected Bibliography in Tatman &amp; Moss Bio Dictionary Phila. Architects.

The earliest surviving Company minutes date from 1763; also surviving is the important 1765 Articles to which every incoming member down to this day must subscribe his name before he is considered a full-fledged member.

Title A name given to the resource Loxley, Benjamin Description An account of the resource Benjamin Loxley was a prominent master builder who, according to his obituary, was conspicuous for talents, ingenuity and industry; as a citizen, distinguished for active participation and usefulness; and as a man, for integrity and the faithful discharge of the various duties of social life. . . . His disinterested services, aided by his skill and ingenuity in casting of cannon, and conducting the public laboratory in the early stages of the revolution, when the knowledge of those arts were confined to a few, were of the highest importance to our country. Born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, England, the son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Pullen) Loxley, he came to Pennsylvania in 1734 to live with his maternal uncle who placed him as an apprentice to W. Joseph Watkins to learn the "Carpenter's, Joiner's and plain Cabinet making trades," according to Loxley's autobiographical manuscript. Free of his articles in 1742, Loxley promptly married his former master's sister, and armed with--as he later recalled--"a choice chest of tools, books of architecture, a bible and Psalm book..., I went on right well and got plenty of work and good pay." Although Loxley briefly joined in a partnership with carpenter William Henderson, a timely inheritance and successful investments gradually made Loxley prosperous (he would later claim losses of $60,000 from the British occupation of Philadelphia), and like Joseph Fox, Robert Smith, and Thomas Nevell, he became one of the leading members of The Carpenters' Company which he served on committees or as an officer through the years prior to the Revolution.

Loyd was the first of the second generation carpenters to be included in the list of early Company members. He was the son of Robert Loyd of Merion, who is said to have come over in 1683 as a young man with the party of Hugh Roberts and his wife, Lowry Jones. Reese was born in Merion Township in 1709, but nothing is known of his early life. He must have been apprenticed to a carpenter in the country and had removed to Philadelphia by 1731, when he acquired a share, late in November of that year, in the newly organized Philadelphia Library of Benjamin Franklin. Young William Coleman, Jr., son of the carpenter who died that year, had been a member of Franklin's Junto; it may have been he who proposed Loyd for a share in the new Library. (Library Company records) Four years later in 1735, he appeared at the Philadelphia Meeting an declared his intention of marriage with Sarah Cox, daughter of Abraham and Martha Cox (PGSP, VIII, 183; Hinshaw II, 583) He must have inherited property, for he had a plantation of 154 acres in Merion, which probably had been his father's. No evidence has been found that he worked on any pubic building, and not until the early spring of 1743, just before his death, that he acquired any city property in his own name. This was a lot on the north side of High between 2nd and 3rd St., which extended back to a "new" alley called Church Alley, on which were two houses, one fronting High St. and the other fronting the Alley. The property had belonged to his mother-in-law's family, the Nicholases, who finally had released the lot to Rees. (D-23, 338, 18 March 1742, Hugh Roberts to Reece Loyd.) The transfer was an involved one;it was preceded by an indenture tripartite of the Nicholas heirs to Rees and his wife, then from them to Hugh Roberts, who reconveyed to Rees alone, reserving a one-third part of the yearly rent charge to Sarah's mother. Reese rented the High St. house to Sam Smith, and lived in the house in Church Alley, where he quite possibly had been living since his marriage. Having established title to the property, and being sick and weak in body, he executed his will the end of March, and died two months later, leaving his widow and three minor children. (Hinshaw, II, 389) Hugh Roberts and John Jervis made the inventory of his estate on 6 May. It included cash of 50 pounds, silver spoons, porringer and tea tongs valued at 8.10 pounds, carpenter's tools at 10 pounds, small case of instruments at 2 pounds, a work shop and stable, a parcel of boards, a cow, a Negro woman - for a grand total of 213.8 pounds.

In 1735 he married Sarah Cox, daughter of Abraham Cox, as recorded in the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting minutes. In 1736, Reese advertised a plantation in Lower Merion totaling 155 acres and complete with a new dwelling house. His will bequeathed a house and lot in High street to his son Samuel and a house and lot, in which Reese himself dwelled, in Church Alley to another son Robert. He left his wife the Plantation in Merion, likely the same one advertised in 1736. His estate included a set of carpenter’s tools valued at 10 pounds and a slave woman. Without his real estate, his estate was worth around 213 pounds.
