Excerpt from The New Jersey Society of Pennsylvania: Decennial Record, 1907-1917 On December 29th, 1906, a preliminary meeting, attended by sixteen gentlemen, was held at the Union League of Philadelphia, when it was resolved to form "An Organization of Jerseymen Resident in Philadelphia and Adjacent Thereto." This was followed by a larger and more formal meeting on January 16th, 1907, and thereafter an application was made to Court of Common Pleas No. 1, of the City of Philadelphia, for a charter, and on April 15th, 1907, a charter to the New Jersey Society of Pennsylvania was approved by the Court, the objects of which were set out to be as follows: - Article II. Section 1. To promote social intercourse among the sons of New Jersey by birth or ancestry, residing and located in Pennsylvania and adjacent territory. Section 2. To tender hospitality to and manifest friendship for natives of New Jersey when they may be temporarily sojourning in the city of Philadelphia, and to foster a spirit of general interest and friendly intercourse among those of New Jersey ancestry. Section 3. To develop and perpetuate that spirit of patriotic pride in the native State, which the prominence of New Jersey in the history of our Nation, and her conspicuous position as one of the thirteen original colonies, should always inspire. Section 4. To cause to be prepared and read before the Society, papers, essays, etc., on the history of New Jersey, the genealogy of Jerseymen, and other subjects of interest to the Society.
