Caleb Pusey

Caleb Pusey

Caleb Pusey (c. 1650-1727) was a lastmaker (a maker of wooden foot molds for cobblers) and a friend and business partner of William Penn, the founder of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. He managed a grist mill, and lived on a plantation named "Landing Ford" in what is now Upland, outside of Chester, Pennsylvania. His original 1683 house still stands and is the oldest English house open to the public; it is the only remaining house where William Penn is known to have visited. From 1701, he served as a justice of the provincial supreme court.

Pusey became involved with the local Quaker community, as well as local government. He wrote a number of pamphlets, several in defense of William Penn.
