Chandler Price (ca. 1765–1827), merchant, established with Benjamin Morgan the firm of Morgan & Price in Philadelphia by 1794. They dissolved the partnership seven years later, about the time that Morgan moved to New Orleans, but they continued to collaborate in the mercantile trade from their respective ports. Price served as a director of the Bank of Pennsylvania and the Second Bank of the United States and as a manager of the Germantown and Perkiomen Turnpike Road Company. In 1818 and 1821 respectively he became president of the American Fire Insurance Company and the United States Insurance Company. He formed C. Price & Morgan, a mercantile business, with Thomas A. Morgan in 1819. Price occasionally helped procure wine for TJ and recommended men to him for political preferment. He engaged in charitable activities through the Welsh Society and the Philadelphia Dispensary, for the Medical Relief of the Poor (James Hardie, The Philadelphia Directory and Register [Philadelphia, 1794], 108, 124; Philadelphia Poulson’s American Daily Advertiser, 9 Oct. 1801; Benjamin Morgan to Price, 11–31 Aug. 1803 [DNA: RG 59, LAR, 1801–09]; Price to TJ, 30 Nov. 1804 [MHi]; James Robinson, The Philadelphia Directory for 1810 [Philadelphia, 1810], xxviii, xlii, 225; John Adems Paxton, The Philadelphia Directory and Register, for 1818 [Philadelphia, 1818]; Paxton, The Philadelphia Directory and Register, for 1819 [Philadelphia, 1819]; The Philadelphia Directory and Register, for 1821 [Philadelphia, 1821]; Philadelphia Souvenir, 2 Jan. 1828; Edward L.

alexander stewart served in Price’s countinghouse in Philadelphia for more than a decade starting in about 1795. He was then an accountant in that city from 1805 to about 1808. Having unsuccessfully sought a consular position in Cuba, Stewart moved about 1810 to Kingston, Jamaica, where he opened a mercantile business. During the War of 1812 he served as agent for American prisoners in Kingston by appointment of William Henry savage, the United States agent for commerce and seamen. By 1817 Stewart had returned to Philadelphia as a merchant and later as a supercargo. He described himself as a gentleman, 1823–24, before resuming work as an accountant and then as secretary to the United States Insurance Company at least until early in the 1830s, and by 1837 he again served as an accountant (Robinson, The Philadelphia Directory for 1805 [Philadelphia, 1805]; Robinson, The Philadelphia Directory for 1808 [Philadelphia, 1808]; Stewart’s files in DNA: RG 59, LAR, 1801–25; Savage to James Monroe, 1 Dec. 1812 [DNA: RG 59, CD, Kingston]; Robinson’s Original Annual Directory for 1817 [Philadelphia, 1817], 415; Desilver’s Philadelphia Directory and Stranger’s Guide, 1830 [1830], 186; Desilver’s Philadelphia Directory and Stranger’s Guide, for 1837 [1837], 228).
