Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania

Son of Robert and Margaret Willing Hare. Has a Wiki page: "Hare was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on January 17, 1781. He developed and experimented with the oxy-hydrogen blowpipe, with Edward Daniel Clarke of Oxford, shortly after 1800. He married Harriett Clark and had six children. He was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania between 1810 and 1812 and between 1818 and 1847. By the 1820s, Hare had developed the "galvanic deflagrator", a type of voltaic battery having large plates used for producing rapid and powerful combustion. In 1854, Hare converted to Spiritism and wrote several books that made him very famous in the United States as a Spiritualist. In the same year he published a book entitled Experimental Investigation of the Spirit Manifestations. His work was criticized by own co-workers, but was warmly welcomed with enthusiasm by the Spiritualists. Hare died in Philadelphia on May 15, 1858."
