Nicholas More : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nicholas More
Nicholas More (died 1689) was first chief justice of the Province of Pennsylvania. == Early life == More (also spelled "Moore" or "Moor") was born in England, where he also married his wife Mary. More immigrated to the American Thirteen Colonies with William Penn in 1682 and lived in the colony of Pennsylvania, but little is known of More prior to this. It is known that More was trained in London as a medical physician, but he did not engage in that profession after immigration. Soon after settling in Society Hill, Philadelphia, he set up "The Free Society of Traders" and became its president. More with other English merchants obtained a parcel of land consisting of just under ten thousand (9,815) acres from Penn for the society in 1684, which became known as the Manor of Moreland.〔 〕 Part of the land was in Philadelphia County and part was in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. More had a town house at the corner of Second Street and Spruce Street in Philadelphia. In addition he had a country house at Green Spring, near Somerton, Philadelphia.
