Excerpt from Proceedings on Unveiling the Monument to Caesar Rodney, and the Oration Delivered on the Occasion
It would appear that William Penn had been of like mind with my Lord Bacon, who held it to be a shameful and unblessed thing to take the scum of people, and wicked, condemned men to be the people with whom you plant, and therefore when Penn came to let in the sunlight of liberty of the person in conscience and in conduct upon the colony he was planting on these shores, he sought as his companions and assistants men of character and substance; and he brought out of England men of good stock and standing and excluded the scum and wicked, condemned men.
Among those who in the same year, but not in the same good ship, the Welcome, that bore Penn and his shipmates up the Delaware bay and river in 1682, came William Rod ney, of Bristol, who soon thereafter became a landholder in St. Jones, as it was then called, but since Nov. 2 5, 1682, has been the county of Kent, retaining the same boundaries.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the proceedings of the erection of a monument to honor Caesar Rodney, a significant figure in Delaware's history. The construction of the monument coincided with Rodney's reburial in an Episcopal cemetery in Dover. In 1682, Rodney's ancestor, William Rodney, was among the original English settlers of Delaware. Caesar Rodney was born in 1728 and died in 1784, having dedicated his life to public service. The book describes Rodney's pivotal role in the Continental Congress, and his contributions to the Stamp Act and Articles of Confederation. As a member of the Continental Congress, Rodney vehemently defended the rights of the American people against British oppression. His fearless advocacy for independence earned him the respect of his peers and cemented his legacy as a staunch patriot.
