Individual Details
Isaac Shoemaker
(1669 - 12 Apr 1732)
We learn from the minutes of the Provincial Council
that "Isaac Shoemaker and his cousin, Peter Shoemaker, were
authorized to arrange with workmen to build a prison house
and put up stocks as soon as possible."
Isaac Shoemaker was engaged in business as a tanner, his
yards being on ]\Iain street (now Germantown avenue), east of
the present Coulter street. That he was a progressive citizen
and interested in the moral and intellectual welfare of the
community, may be inferred from the fact that he contributed
to the fund for the erection of a Friends' Meeting House in
Germantown in 1706, and was a patron of the famous school
established by Francis Daniel Pastorius, the greatest scholar
of his time in Pennsylvania.
The home of Isaac Shoemaker was near the corner of
^lain street (now Germantown avenue) and Shoemaker Lane
(now Penn street). This home remained in the possession of
the Shoemaker family for over a century, until 1843, when it
was razed.
