• Notes

  Master bricklayer, who was an important figure in the early Philadelphia construction business Joseph Yard is said to have emigrated from Devonshire, England, about 1669; to have settled among the Swedes on the Delaware, and to have built in 1689, Gloria Dei, better known as the Old Swedes Church in Southwark, Philadelphia. On January 13, 1707, William Carter, Thomas Marten, Joseph Yard and John Rodman were appointed to view the hollow in the head of Chestnut street crossing Fifth street, and take the best method for making good the same and giving the water a passage.
