About William Weightman

William WeightmanI (September 30, 1813 - August 25, 1904) was a chemical manufacturer and one of the largest landowners in the United States. Weightman was born on September 30, 1813 in Waltham, Lincolnshire, England. He immigrated to the United States at the age of 16 in 1829 invited by his uncle, chemist John Farr. Farr had founded the firm Farr and Kunzi, the first manufacturers of sulfate of quinine in the United States. Upon Kunzi\'s retirement in 1836, Farr partnered withThomas Powers and 27-year-old Weightman to establish Farr, Powers and Weightman, manufacturing chemists. In 1841, Weightman married Louisa Stillwagon; together, they had three children: John, William Jr., and Anne. When John Farr died in 1847, Weightman became an administrator and executive of the business, which was renamed Powers and Weightman, chemical manufacturers. It profited from quinine sales during the Civil War through a quasi monopoly. In 1875, Powers and Weightman won the Elliott Cresson Medal for Engineering, presented by the Franklin Institute. Weightman amassed a large fortune through shrewd investments, derived from his manufacturing enterprise, estimated at $51.8 billion in 2014 adjusted value. He purchased hundreds of acres of farms in what is now North Philadelphia and built whole neighborhoods of middle-class housing, serviced by streetcar lines. His architect for these was Willis G. Hale, the husband of one of his nieces.
