THOMAS MIFFLIN Thomas Mifflin was born in 1744 in Philadelphia. His parents were of the Quaker religion. After attending a Quaker primary school, Mifflin attended the University of Pennsylvania. After graduating he traveled a year in Europe. Mifflin then entered business with his brother, but his interest and ambition as a speaker drew him into politics. He was a member of the First and Second Continental Congresses. When the Revolutionary War broke out Thomas Mifflin was appointed a maior and soon was appointed to Quartermaster-General. He displayed a desire to fight rather than command. He resigned in 1773, when he lost the favor of General Washington, and retired to his farm near Reading called, Angelica. At this farm much of the Conway Cabal was formed. When the war was over Mifflin again entered into the good graces of Washington. He served as President of the State Supreme Executive Council from 1788-1790. Historians have fre- quently told us that George Washington was not the first President of The United States. This is true because our country was governed by The Articles of Con- federation before our constitution was adopted. The Articles provided for a unicameral Csinglej legislative body. From it an advisory group, called a council, was selected and executive authority was vested in the chairman of this council. Historians frequently refer to the chairman of this council as the President of the United States. Therefore Thomas Mifflin can be rightfully credited with being President of our country. In 1790 Mifflin turned to state politics, serving as First Governor of Pennsyl- vania from 1790-1799. He died in 1800 after a long record of service to his state and country. He was buried in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
