I forgot in my original note that various sections of the city had
their own "poor houses", begun prior to city consolidation. Those
include: Germantown, Roxborough, Frankford, Moyamensing, Oxford and
Byberry (the latter two possibly were combined). There might have
been others, but I can't think of them off-hand.
