Extract from the Gazette, 1742
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, April 22, 1742.

On Sunday last died after a short Illness, James Merrewether, a Person somewhat obscure, and of an unpromising Appearance, but esteem’d by those few who enjoy’d an Intimacy with him, to be one of the Honestest, best, and wisest Men in Philadelphia.
