Col. Timothy Matlack, Patriot and Soldier, Haddonfield, New Jersey. A Paper Read Before the Gloucester County Historical Society at the Old Tavern House, Haddonfield, N. J., April 14, 1908.

This is the fascinating story of the life of Col. Timothy Matlack...an excerpt from the book....'during the Revolution no man then knew more of the history being made in Pennsylvania and few took greater part in the making of it than he - all of it he saw, part of it he was. His commanding figure was a common sight on the streets of Philadelphia and Lancaster, and he was constantly in the limelight of publicity. ....few knew more more of the inside history and the transactions of the Continental Congress during the earlier years of the war.' 

His grandfather, William, born in 1648, was a native of Nottinghamshire, England. Col. Timothy Matlack's father was also Timothy Matlack, born at Pensauken in 1695. His mother was Martha. Timothy later he moved to Philadelphia. He was a member of the Society of Friends.
