Samuel Sitgreaves

Samuel Sitgreaves (March 16, 1764 - April 4, 1827) was a United States Representative from Pennsylvania. Born in Philadelphia, he pursued classical studies, studied law, was admitted to the bar in Philadelphia on September 3, 1783 and began practice in Easton, Pennsylvania in 1786. He was a delegate to the Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention in 1790, and was elected as a Federalist to the Fourth and Fifth Congresses, serving from March 4, 1795, until his resignation in 1798. Sitgreaves was one of the managers appointed by the House of Representatives in 1798 to conduct the impeachment proceedings against Senator William Blount.

On August 11, 1798, Sitgreaves was appointed United States commissioner to Great Britain under the Jay treaty, regarding British claims. He was burgess of Easton from 1804 to 1807, treasurer of Northampton County from 1816 to 1819, and resumed the practice of law. He was president of the Easton Bank from 1815 to 1827, and died in Easton; interment was in Easton Cemetery.

His sister Julianna married Lewis Allaire Scott, and was the mother of Mayor of Philadelphia John Morin Scott (1789-1858).
