Charles West Hornor (1813 – July 8, 1905)[1] was a lawyer and Reconstruction Era political activist who was secretary of the freedmen aid society organization the New Orleans Freedmens Aid Association

in New Orleans before returning to his home state of Philadelphia and continuing his law practice there and in Washington D.C.[2][3] He worked with Thomas J. Durant, who was also involved with politics and the causes of freedmen and social reform. Hornor represented Thomas J. Allen in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court.[4] Hornor introduced the first female lawyer to ever appear before the U.S. Supreme Court.[2]

Early years

Hornor descended from a long established Quaker family in Philadelphia who came over with William Penn

and whose ancestral home became the site of Philadelphia's City Hall.[5][6] He studied at Moravian College in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. He moved to New Orleans and worked at a bank while studying law.[2] Louisiana History describes him as among the leading white radicals (Radical Republicans) in New Orleans at the time.[7]

Charles West Hornor was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1813 to Joseph Potts Hornor and Jane West. In New Orleans, Louisiana he founded a legal firm with Thomas J. Durant. Durant moved to Washington, D.C. and Hornor returned to Philadelphia after the Civil War. They later reunited in D.C.[8]

Career

He received a letter of support from residents in New York for nomination to fill a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court after the 1865 death of John Catron.[9] The vacant seat was eliminated by congress to prevent Democrat Andrew Johnson, who became president after Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, from filling the seat.

Alice Lee Moqué was his daughter with his second wife.
