Excerpt from Willing Letters and Papers: Edited With a Biographical Essay of Thomas Willing of Philadelphia, 1731-1821 There is only one thing in the career of Thomas Willing of which, as one of his descendants, I am not proud.

With this exception, however, the descendants of Thomas Willing can look upon his whole career with great pride.
