The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick began in 1771 in Philadelphia at
the midst of the foundation of our country. Earliest members
include many influential patriots who were devoted to the cause of
liberty. Among the honorary members of the first meeting were
John Dickenson, Robert Morris, who later signed the Declaration
of Independence, and General George Washington. The first
president was General Stephen Moylan, who was a private
secretary to General George Washington. Thomas Jefferson and
Benjamin Franklin also frequented meetings of the Friendly Sons
of St. Patrick.
The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of Union County was first
organized in 1962 with Joseph Higgins as the first president. The
organization was later incorporated in the fall of 2005. Fifty-one
years later, the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of Union County has
continued to support local worthy charitable organizations and to
provide scholarships to young men of Irish Ancestry.
