[Transfer of Property from Elizabeth Roberts to William Palmer and William McMullin]
(1802)
William Palmer Collection, Athenaeum of Philadelphia.
Local ID #: 90.21.41

Died: 1814

William McMullin II was a master builder elected to The Carpenters' Company in 1800. In the 1800 city directory, McMullin II was listed at 46 Zeen (Zane) street. His death in 1814 left a widow, who, in 1819 received a quarterly allowance from the Company. Money was also provided for the schooling of their daughters, Sarah and Rosanna. A transfer of property document conveyed to both McMullin and William Palmer shows a likely partnership between the two house carpenters.
