They appointed a committee to wait on him and request him to nominate seven proper men in the district for their representatives.
This delicate office he at first declined, but on the request being urgently repeated, and assurances offered that no offence should be given, he acceded to their desires, and those he named were elected by large majorities.
THOMAS M'KEAN. 143 Mr. M'Kean was a delegate to the " Stamp Act Con- gress" in 1765, and was the associate upon a committee with James Otis and
...Thomas Lynch, in preparing an ad- dress to the British House of Commons. For their ser- vices in that Congress, he and his colleague, Mr. Rodney, received the unanimous thanks of the Assembly of Dela- ware.
In 1765, he was appointed by the governor sole no- tary public for the " lower counties on the Delaware," and in rapid succession he received the offices of Justice of the Peace, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions, and of the Orphan Court.
