Joseph Gales, the sole reporter for the U.S. Senate at the time, was hired in 1807 as reporter and became sole proprietor in 1810. In 1813, Gales took his brother-in-law, William Winston Seaton, as partner and reporter for the U.S. House of Representatives. Daily publication began in 1813, except for August 24-30, 1814, during the British army occupation. Gales and Seaton were selected as official reporters of Congress from 1819 to 1829 and published the \"Annals of Congress, 1798-1824,\" and \"Register of Debates, 1824-1837,\" the record of Congressional\ndebates of the time.

However, in 1839, it was sold to Zachariah Poulson, who re-named it Poulson's American Daily Advertiser and continued publication until 1839, when he sold it to the founders of the North American, a predecessor of the Philadelphia Inquirer .","Pennsylvania Gazette, Philadelphia, PA. \nSamuel Keimer first published the Pennsylvania Gazette weekly beginning in 1728 and sold it to Benjamin Franklin and Hugh Meredith in 1729. Franklin dominated the partnership and by 1732 had purchased complete ownership. In 1743, Franklin invited David Hall of Scotland to join his as a printer and took him as a partner in 1848. In 1766, Franklin sold the firm to Hall, who formed a new firm, Hall and Sellers, with a journeyman printer, William Sellers. Hall died in 1772, and was succeeded by his sons, William and David, Jr. Publication was suspended from November, 1776 to February, 1777, when British invasion threatened, and from September, 1777 until January 1779, due to British occupation. Upon resumption of publication in 1779, the title was changed to Pennsylvania Gazette and Weekly Advertiser. Sellers died in 1804, and publication passed to William Hall, Jr., who took Samuel C. Atkinson as partner in 1816. In May, 1821, Hall died and Atkinson continued publication, in September, 1821, changing the name to Saturday Evening Post and the character of the publication to more general and domestic interest.","The collection includes 185 titles spanning 200 years; all related to George Washington, his family, and Mount Vernon.","Special Collections at The George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon","Society of the Cincinnati","Washington, George, 1732-1799","Fairfax, William, 1691?-1757","Fairfax, George William, 1724-1787","Law, Thomas, 1756-1834","Law, Elizabeth Parke Custis, 1776-1831","Claypoole, David C., 1757?-1849","Thomas, Isaiah, 1749-1831","Mercein, William A., -1850","Lafayette, Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert Du Motier, marquis de, 1757-1834","Washington, Bushrod, 1762-1829","Anderson, James, 1745-1807","English \n.
