This collection contains the correspondence of the Cromwell family, a 19th century Quaker family, believed to be the in-laws of Thomas Chase.

William Cromwell (1800-1872) was the son of James and Charlotte Cromwell. He married Caroline Underhill in 1825. He was a member of the Society of Friends and was active in working toward emancipation and the humane treatment of Native Americans. He was a member of the House of Refuge for Juvenile Delinquents. He was a trustee of the Bowery Savings Bank. Alice Cromwell, his daughter, married Thomas Chase, president of Haverford College.

Alice (Cromwell) Chase (1837-1882), the daughter of William and Caroline (Underhill) Cromwell, was a member of Monthly Meeting of Philadelphia for the Western District. She married Thomas Chase.
