William Bingham (March 8, 1752 – February 7, 1804) was an American statesman from Philadelphia. He was a delegate for Pennsylvania to the Continental Congress from 1786 to 1788 and served in the United States Senate from 1795 to 1801. [1]

In 1780, Ann married the exceptionally wealthy William Bingham. The pair lived abroad throughout the 1780s, and upon their return to America, built what was then the most opulent, grand house in Philadelphia.
