Roberts Vaux, 75 Hazard s Register, 183. The ex 

 isting members of the Society-Junto in September 



1758, the date of the earliest extant minutes, were 

 Francis Rawle, Charles Thomson, Stephen Wooley, 

 Peter Chevalier, J. Mather, Philip Syng, Jun., Isaac 

 Paschall, Edmund Physick, William Franklin, Joshua 

 Howell, William Hopkins, and Paul Jackson; total 

 twelve. See Junto Minute book; as also Tabular 

 Statement marked A, of the attendance of the So 

 ciety- Junto members, appended to this Report. 1 By 

 this Statement, it will be found that these twelve 

 members continued to meet more or less regularly, 

 except William Franklin, who was always absent, 

 until the 20th of June, 1760, when Samuel Powel, 

 elected the previous March, took his seat for the 

 first time. Philip Syng is usually recorded without 

 the affix Junior; but in the minutes of three meetings; 

 namely, those of Jan. 19th, Nov. 30th, Dec. 14th, 



1759, he is entered as Philip Syng, Jun. This mem 

 ber, who died in November 1760, was the son of 

 Philip Syng, of the Franklin-Junto, who will, to pre 

 vent confusion be hereafter designated, in this report, 

 as Philip Syng, Sen. 



Of the members of the Franklin-Junto, Franklin, 

 [William] Coleman, Hugh Roberts, Philip Syng, Sen. 

 and Samuel Rhoads are known to have been still 

 living in Sep. 1758. The question here arises, why 

 are they not mentioned, as members, in the minutes 

 of the Society- Junto ?
