Notes for Joseph Waln RYERSS

---

The Burholme estate was built in 1859 by Joseph Waln Ryerss, a wealthy importer of goods from Asia and president of the Tioga railroad company, to be the families' summer home. The Waln family, who intermarried frequently with the Ryerss family, were descendants of Nicholas Waln, who sailed on The Welcome with William Penn in 1682. The Waln and Ryerss families were part of the Philadelphia social elite.
