     A native of England, where the name Rutter had been an honorable one for many generations, was one of the early Pennsylvania colonists. He was a man of marked intelligence and energy; was prominent among the enterprising and public spirited men of his time, and rendered valuable service in the upbuilding of the material interests of Pennsylvania. He had acquired in his native country the useful art of blacksmithing, and it is possible that he came to Pennsylvania in the employ of William Penn, to engage for him as a worker in iron, the suggestion of which possibility is found in the facts that he was married at Penn's Manor House, and received from Penn a grant of two hundred acres of land as compensation for "smith's service."¹ Thomas Rutter Esq. was born in 1664 at England.² He immigrated to Pennsylvania arriving 1685.³ He married Rebecca Staples "10, 11, 1685" at Middletown Monthly Meeting, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.^2,4,5 Thomas Rutter Esq. became a Baptist, his change of faith occurring during the schism which arose among the Friends, and took a prominent part in that movement as one of the followers of the noted George Keith, and was baptized after the order of the Baptists, in 1691.⁶ He was assessed in both Bristol and Germantown townships in 1693 at Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.⁷ He appears in land records of the Commissioners of Property who make mention of seven hundred and sixty-two acres of land as then in the possession of "Thomas Rutter's and Company," in January 1702.⁷ He was chosen bailiff,--the chief executive officer of the borough in 1706 at Germantown, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.⁷ He presided at the last sitting of the Court of Record held under the borough charter on 11 January 1707 at Germantown, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.⁸ He was chosen as a member of the Provincial Assembly between 1713 and 1714.⁶ He was mentioned in a letter written by Jonathan Dickinson: "The last summer, one Thomas Rutter, a smith, who lived not far from Germantown, hath removed farther up the country, and of his own strength has set up making iron. Such it proves to be, as it is highly esteemed by all the smith's here, who say that the best Sweed's iron doth not exceed it." In 1717.⁷ He lived in 1717 at Manatawny Creek, Philadelphia (later Berks) County, Pennsylvania; The reason which prompted the removal was no doubt a desire on his part to be in close touch with his iron operations, which were located near by the Iron Stone Creek, an important branch of the Manatawny. His furnace was on the former stream. A few years after he erected the furnace he leased the same to a company of capitalists, who operated it many years, under the name of the Colebrookdale Furnace. He also built a forge, known as Pool Forge, and organized a company to conduct it, Rutter himself owning interests in the company. In the will of his son John the forge is called "Rutter's Forge."⁷ He was chosen again as a member of the Provincial Assembly, and during the latter year he participated in a noted Conference, held in the "Great Meeting House" at Philadelphia by a number of Indian chiefs with the governor of the Province and his Council, between 1727 and 1728.⁶ He was well known to and highly esteemed by the Indians, and when the famous Delaware chief, Sassoman, came to make his address, he recognized the presence of Rutter, and asked the latter to take a seat beside him, in 1728.⁹ He left a will in 1728; "I give and bequeath unto ... my Daughter Rebecca Hall, Sixty pounds Currant mony of Pennsylvania: ...
