Names of some of the early Philadelphia Underwriters on Policies issued from the offices of Joseph Saunders, Thomas Wharton, Walter Shee, and Kidd & Bradford. I am indebted to Mr. C. R. Hildeburn for many of these policies. Those of Kidd & Bradford's clients are derived from their books as enumerated in Mr. Wallace's Table of Contents of Colonel Bradford's papers in possession of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadel- phia^ 1878.
