MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
In 1878, Miss Morford, of Lynchburg, Va., wrote that her grandfather, (and she was then
very aged), was Zebulon Morford, "who was the first one in the country"; that he settled at
Cranbury, N. J. His sons, Stephen and Zebulon, settled at Princeton, and his son, John, at
Middletown, N. J. This family was not of kin to the Morfords, of Middletown. It is possible
she is right, but it is more likely they are an offshoot of the Monmouth County family. Miss
Morford was a daughter of Stephen Morford, of Princeton.

MORRIS
OF
MONMOUTH COUNTY
The early history of the Morris Family, of Monmouth County, N. J., is so interwoven with
the early history of the Morris Family, of Westchester County, N. Y., that the two are fol-
lowed from necessity.
The Morris Family rose in Monmouthshire, Wales, about the middle of the 15th Century.
In 1635, they were seized of the estates of Tintern, Denham and Ponterry, then occupied by
Lewis, William and Richard, sons of William Morris, of Tintern.

3 William Morris, born 1612.
4 Mary Morris, born 1614.
5 Capt. Richard Morris, born 1616; died 1672.
6 Thomas Morris; perhaps.
2 COL. LEWIS MORRIS, son of William Morris, i, was born in 1601, and succeeded,
upon the demise of his father, to the estate of Tintern, in Monmouthshire, Wales. During
the Civil War, in England, he espoused the cause of Parliament and raised a troop of horse,
in punishment for which, when defeated by the Royal hosts of Charles I, his estates were con-
fiscated, but with the decapitation of this monarch and the elevation of Oliver Cromwell
to the Protectorate, he was indemnified for his losses.
In 1654, he was sent by Cromwell to the Spanish West Indies to make himself master of
those seas, and was aided in this undertaking by his nephew, Capt. John INIorris, (son of his
brother, William Morris), who had emigrated, some years before, to Barbadoes.
In 1655, the Protector sent Capt. Lewis Morris a Colonel's commission and instructions
to join his forces, with those of Admirals Penn and Venable, in an attack on Hispaniola, (Haiti),
and to land his troops according to his own discretion, but the assault failed, owing to non-
compliance with his directions. Before joining this expedition, O'Callaghan says: " 'he prized
himself at so high a rate,' that he demanded a present of one hundred thousand weight of sugar
to pay his debts, before he would consent to accompany the fleet." He finally, however, did
go and was present at the reduction fo Jamaica, after which he returned to Barbadoes.
14
MORRIS OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 15
The Restoration occurred in 1660, and Col. Lewis Morris deemed it expedient to remain
at Barbadoes, upon the estate he had bought some time before.
In 1663, he acquired, with others, the adjacent Island of St. Lucia.
At Barbadoes, he became an opulent merchant and planter, and a Member of the Council.
At his seat, near Bridgetown, he entertained George Fox, in 1671, whose religious beliefs he
had accepted. As a Friend, he signed the address to the Governor and Legislature, protesting
against the ill-treatment of the Quakers, and refused to pay church dues and minister's money
and to furnish men and horses for the Militia and was, consequently, fined a large amount in
pounds of sugar. He, apparently, continued in membership with this Society till his death, in
1691, for he left legacies to be paid, annually, to the Shrewsbury, N. J., and New York City
Friends' Meetings, to be raised, respectively, from his estates at Tinton and Harlem.
In 1673, Col. Morris came to New York City, in response to a letter announcing the death
of his brother.
New York, 29th Oct., 1672.
Worthy Sir, —
Since my reception of yours by Wm. Shackerly, no opportunity of conveyance to you hath presented
from hence till this present. Although by the way of Boston, I suppose you would sooner receive the sad tidings
of your brother's decease, in whom as you have lost an only brother so have I a dear friend; I shall not insist
upon many particulars relating thereto; our general letters arriving to you herewith I hope sufficiently inform
you; yet I cannot but reflect upon the transitorj^ condition of poor mortals, when I frequently call to mind in
how little time God hath been pleased to break a family, in taking away the heads thereof; first, a virtuous
young woman in the prime of life, and then a man full of strength and vigor, inured to hardships, of whom there
is remaining but one poor blossom, of whom j^et there may be great hope with your kind friendship, for it is a
lovely, healthy child, and was well at Harlem, where it is at nurse, and I went to see it yesterday. I was also
at the plantation on the other side, when there was some public correction of two or three negroes, and break-
ing the necks of a mutiny among the white men by Mr. Gibbs, and through his v-igilance it is now in good
order. The crime of the negroes is reported to be so natural to them, which was both stealing and receiving
stolen goods.
Worthy sir.
The Governor presents you his Your most dutiful
kind respects and service. Humble servant,
Col. Lewis Morris, ■ Matthias Nicoll.
At the Island of Barbadoes.
Bolton's Westchester, Vol. II, p. 287.
The brother thus alluded to by Matthias Nicoll, was Capt. Richard Morris, a merchant,
of New York City, recently arrived from Barbadoes, who resided on a plantation just over the
Harlem River. This he had purchased in conjunction with his brother, Lewis Morris, who
owned a two-thirds part thereof.
Lewis Morris' arrival was opportune, for the Dutch had recently captured the Province of
New York, and the estate left by his brother, Capt. Richard Morris, was in jeopardy, and to
some degree had already been violated, while his, Lewis Morris,' individual estate had been
confiscated, by proclamation, Sept. 20, 1673. Walter Webley, with good intent and the
interest of a relative, had removed some of the effects to Shrewsbury, N. J., where resided Lewis
Morris, a young kinsman, to whom Col. Lewis Morris was well disposed. This younger scion
of the family was among the first purchasers of Navesinks, and his obligations were guaranteed
by Col. Lewis Morris:
" Mor he pays for Young Lewes Moriss. A: 330 at 13": g"" pr. an. from 1670=11:00:00."
To distinguish the two, Col. Morris was called "the Elder," Sr., Esq., and Colonel, while
the younger man, during the lifetime of the Colonel, was called Lewds Morris, Jr., which gave
way, upon the demise of the Colonel, to Lewis Morris, of Passage Point:
i6 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
1 68 1, Aug. 2. Lewis Morris, Jr., was confirmed in three hundred acres of land and meadow,
as a "First purchaser of Navesinks." The land was located at Middletown.
To this kinsman's home, apparently, Webley and Colonel Morris both went, in order
to get a survey of the situation. Colonel Morris soon acquiesced in the moderate demands
of the Dutch and went about getting his tangled affairs in shape.
Free Pass for Walter Webly.
"Whereas I am informed that Walter Webly still scruples to come hither, through fear that he should
be molested, on account of the efifects which he hath removed hence, for the benefit of the orphan child of
the late Richard Morris, therefore have I thought proper, on the request to me made in his behalf, to grant
to said Walter Webly again free conduct and passport, and at the same time to make known that it was
never intended to seize the effects of said child, but only those belonging in lawful propriety to Col. Lewis
Morris. A. Colve."
Dated Fort Willem Hendrick, 26'^ 7^^'', 1673.
"On request made on behalf of Col. Lewis Morris, pass and repass is granted to him to come into this
government, on condition that he attempt nothing to its prejudice during his sojourn.
Dated Fort Willem Hendrick, 29"" of September, 1673. . Anthony Colve."
1673, Sept. I. The curators of the estate left by the deceased, Richard Morris and
Walter Webley are summoned before The Worshipful Orphan Masters and notified to ad-
minister and report thereon as soon as possible.
Upon the accession of the Dutch, the recently appointed guardians of the estate and heir
of Richard Morris, viz., Messrs. Nicoll, Delavall, Steenwyck, Berry and Gibbs, were super-
ceded in oflice by Col. Lewis Morris, who, by a series of efforts, brought order out of chaos:
"The Governor-General having read and considered the petition of Lewis Morris, requesting in substance
the guardianship of the minor child of his deceased brother, Richard Morris, and of his estate, without any
exception, to be managed and administered for the behoof of said orphan child, further to enjoy the same
privileges as are granted and allowed to the neighboring Colonies of New England and Virginia, &c. IT IS
ORDERED : The Petitioner is allowed to have the guardianship of the surviving orphan child of his deceased
brother, the late Richard Morris, and granted such power to take into his keeping all goods, effects, negroes and
servants, as belonged in lawful property to the said Richard Morris at his decease, on condition that he pay
therefrom the deceased's funeral expenses, but he shall, first of all, deliver in here a correct inventory of the
property left by the deceased, to be recorded in the Orphan Chamber, which being done, the necessary letters
of administration shall then be issued to him. What regards the Petitioner's request to import into this
government some necessaries for advantage and maintenance of said orphan and estate, the petition is allowed,
provided it be done with such ships as are already here or will be permitted, and on paying such customs and
public duties as are paid by other inhabitants. Regarding the request that he may have such privileges as are
granted to New England and Virginia by the Proclamation, dated [blank] last, the petition is refused and denied,
being an inhabitant of Barbadoes, which consequently cannot be considered with the neighboring Colonies of
New England and Virginia. Moreover, the Petitioner shall be at liberty to show where any property belonging
to the plantation is lying, and then order will be given for its restitution to the right owner. And finally,
the Petitioner is allowed to employ such substitutes and servants as in case of his living or dying, shall from
time to time, with advice of the Orphan Chamber here, be deemed necessary for the greatest advantage of the
orphan, on condition that the Petitioner and his agents shall remain bound at all times to afford said Orphan
Chamber due account, proof and balance of their administration.
Dated Fort Willem Hendrick, this ii''^ of October, 1673."

"On the petition of Lewis Morris, requesting that he may have a grant of the plantation of his late brother,
Richard Morris, for the benefit of his orphan child, with the cattle and other dependencies thereof, together
with the guardianship of said child, &c. IT IS ORDERED : That the Petitioner be allowed the requested
Bouwery, buildings and materials thereon, for the benefit of the minor orphan child, on a valuation made by
impartial arbitrators; in like manner the Petitioner shall be at liberty to appropriate, without any order, all
the chattels which he can attach that have been removed from the Bouwery, on condition that they be brought
to the Bouwery and inventory thereof delivered in; and whereas, since the surrender of the place, divers
articles have been removed hence by Walter Webly, it is herewith ordered that said goods be returned to the
MORRIS OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 17
plantation for the benefit of the child, when the Petitioner shall be granted letters of guardianship; the govern-
ment will appropriate on account, the fat cattle, such as oxen, cows and hogs, on condition of being responsible
for the payment of the orphan's share.

1673, Oct. 19. "Mess"^^ Francis Rombouts and Gabriel Minvielle are this day, by order
of the Governor, authorized to appraise the goods received by Egidius Luyck from the houses
of Captain Lavall and Walter Webly, agreeably to delivered inventory, and to render a report
thereof."
"Whereas, it has been found that the two-third parts of the estate left by the late Richard Morris belong
in real propriety to his brother, Colonel Lewis Morris, a resident of the Island of Barbadoes in the Caribbees,
whose estate by the Proclamation dated the 20"' of September last, is confiscated for the behoof of the govern-
ment, and it being therefore necessary that in addition to the guardians and tutors of the aforenamed Richard
Morris' surviving orphan child, some one be commissioned on the part of the government to regulate said
estate. Therefore have I resolved to commission and qualify Balthazar Bayard to that end. as he is hereby
commissioned and qualified to assume the said estate for the two-third parts thereof which belong to the govern-
ment, with said guardians, by name Mess''^ John Lawrence, Stephanus van Cortlant and Walter Webly, for
the one-third part thereof inherited by them; to adjust and settle the debts and credits; to sell the remaining
p)ersonal property, and thereof to deliver in to the Secretarj''s office pertinent account and balance, when order
shall be issued what further disposition shall be made therein.
Dated Fort Willem Hendrick, this ist November, 1673."

Shrewsbury, N. J., during his brief sojourn there, in 1673, for he shortly secured grants of land
amounting to upwards of six thousand acres. One portion of his holdings, lying at Shrewsbury,
N. J., between Swimming River and Falls River, containing 3840 acres of land, was confirmed
to him, Oct. 25, 1676. He called this locality Tintcrn, after his Welch home, and speedily
took up a residence thereon and set about developing the iron mines on the premises, which
Spicer and Grover had started a short while before. This district still is known as Tinton.
•Colonel Morris was also instrumental in giving the name of Monmouth to the county that
now carries that name. He resided here man}^ years, but finally withdrew to his plantation
"over against the town of Haerlem, commonly called Bronck's land." This property was
part of the tract of five hundred acres that he bought with his brother, Richard Morris, aug-
mented by fourteen hundred and twenty acres more, the whole being confirmed to him, by
patent from Gov. Andross, Mch. 25, 1676. His title he perfected by an Indian confirmation
dated Feb. 7, 1684.
1682-3. Lewis Morris sought from the Council, a patent, for the land that he had lately
bought of Samuel Leonard and Leonard Hunt.
1685. LcAvis Morris, of Shrewsbury, received a power of attorney from Richard Richard-
son, of Barbadoes, to collect debts in New Jersey, New York and New England.
1685, July 26. Col. Lewis Morris, of Tinton Manor, merchant, received a patent, for one
thousand acres of land, on the South side of Monmouth River, alias Allawayes Creek, etc., in
exchange for one thousand acres of land, on the Delaware River, granted Sept. 15, 1681.
1689, Apr. 23. Lewis Morris, commonly called Colonel Morris, of New York, deeded to
William Bickley, of the same place, one thousand acres of land, granted to him, by the executors
of John Fenwick, July 26, 1685, lying on the South side of Monmouth River.
1690. He was called Lewis Morris, of Tinton, when he received a patent, of three hundred
and forty acres of land, in Middletown.
Advancing years, and the care of a large estate, failed to keep Colonel Morris aloof from
public life.
In 1 68 1-2, he was elected a Representative to the Assembly, from Shrewsbury, but his
place became void, by reason of his appointment, February, 1682, as a Member of Deputy-
Governor Thomas Rudyard's [New Jersey] Council, which he held during 1682 and 1683.
As a Member of the Council, he was one of the Judges of the Quorum, for Essex, Middlesex,
Monmouth and Bergen Counties.
From 1683 to 1686, he was a Member of Governor Dongan's [New York] Council.
1686, September. Court of Sessions, held at Middletown. Lewis Morris, who had been
arrested, was brought before the Court to answer concerning an informacon brought in about
the death of a Negro woman named Francke; the s** Morris did appear with a habeas corpus
from the Governor Gawen Lawrie to be removed to the next Court of common right, to be
holden at Amboy Perth, etc.
Col. Lewis Morris married twice. Bolton, Vol. II, p. 290.
"Before leaving Barbadoes, Lewis Morris had, unfortunately, married a woman of low extraction and
bad conduct, whom he brought with him to America. During Morris' last illness, this woman destroyed all
the family papers she could lay her hands on and so remodeled his will, as to leave herself, and one Bicldey,
her accomplice, the whole personal estate, with negroes and silver. The fraud, however, was so exddent, that,
when young Lewis came of age, some years after his uncle's death, the Legislature gave him possession of the
estate, as his uncle's heir-at-law." New York Genealogical and Biographical Record.
If the record of birth given to Col. Lewis Morris is correct, he was about ninety years of
age when his will was drawn, and perhaps, impressionable to undue influence, but there is such
strong evidence of his affection for his wife, and generous provision for many friends, vigorously
and lucidly expressed, that it seems difficult to reconcile the treachery attributed to his wife.
MORRIS OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 19
Further, he sets forth, at length, a sufficient number of grievances to account for his
estrangement from his nephew, Lewis Morris. There was some irregularit\- in the execution
of the will and several erasures, which suggests that the testator may have meant to revise it,
but I think it doubtful. Be that as it may, it was successfully probated, and, as Colonel
Morris' wife had, in the meantime, died, between Feb. 7, 1690 and May 8, 1691, letters of
administration were granted to Lewis Morris, his nephew and next of kin.
1690, "this seventh day of this twelfth month, called February." Will of Col. Lewis
Morris, commonly called Colonel Morris, of New York, made at "my plantation over against
Harlem, in the province of New York," "to prevent all discords and variances"; proved May

"Whereas I formerly intended to have made my nephew, Lewis Morris, son of my deceased brother,

I doe make and ordaine my dearly beloved wife, Mary Morris, sole executrix of this my last will and testament;"

attack upon Chepstow Castle, which was defended by Sir Nicholas Kemish, the
king's general, Lewis Morris was the second in command. After an obstinate
resistance, the garrison was reduced by cutting off the supply of water which
ran through the estate of Pearcefield, then owned by Col. Morris' son-in-law,
John Walters, and setting fire to the castle. From this circumstance, the family
assumed as their crest a castle in flames, with the following motto, 'tandem

4 MARY MORRIS, daughter of William Morris, i, was born in 1614.
It is stated that she married Walter Webley. Of this I have no proof, but have ascer-
tained the following facts about Walter Webley, who may have been confused with a reputed
husband of Mary Morris.
Walter Webley was a resident of New York City, or of the region just over the Harlem
River, likely on property adjoining Capt. Richard Morris, in 1673, when the Dutch subjugated
this province. His active interest in caring for the effects of Capt. Richard Morris' infant
child, and the estates of Capt. Richard and Col. Lewis Morris, portions of which he took to
Shrewsbury, N. J., to place beyond the reach of the Dutch invaders, brought him into direct
conflict with that authority. Col. Lewis Morris made peace for him however:
"On the urgent request of Col. Lewis Morris, Walter Webly is allowed to retain his residence within this
government, on previously taking the oath of allegiance.
Dated Fort Willem Hendrick, this 19''' of October, 1673."
He, however, shortly violated his parole and was fined in consequence thereof:
"Feb. I, 1674.
The Fiscal, Pltff.
against
Walter Webley, Deft.
The Pltff. alleges that the Deft, hath been contrary to the Proclamation of the 12'^ X*^" last, in the
enemy's country and brought letters thence hither; concludes therefor that the Deft, shall be condemned in the
fine according to the placard, &c.
Deft, answers that he hath pursuant to the Proclamation, delivered the letters into the Secretary's office
and says, he hath had before this a pass to go in search of his uncle Morris, which he claims he can again do,
on said pass, &c.
The Governor-General and Council having heard the Fiscal's demand and Deft's excuse condemn the
Deft, for the reasons aforesaid, in a fine of eight Beavers, with costs.
Note — 'Tis ordered that the above Beavers shall be applied one-half to the Fiscals and the other half to
the Church."
The preceding suit estabUshes the relationship of Walter Webley to Col. Lewis Morris;
he was a nephew and not the brother-in-law, as has been stated heretofore. Further cor-
roboration of Walter Webley's residence and relationship lies, in the application of Lewis
Morris to transport his nephew's goods, and the order, issued, in pursuance thereof, Nov. 30,
22 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
1673, wherein he alludes to his cousin's plantation, in Bronck's land. The use of the term
cousin, for nephew, was general in the phraseology of that day.
When Col. Morris, in 1674, returned to Barbadoes to wind up his business in that island,
he appointed Walter Webley his attorney:
1674. Walter Webley was the agent of Lewis Morris, for a grant of land.
1675. Judgment of the Mayor's Court, of New York, for plaintiff, in the case of Walter Webley, trustee
of the estate of Richard Morris, plaintiff, and Peter Aldrix, defendant, for the recovery of a negro woman.
1679. Walter Webley was a witness, to a will, in Westchester County, N. Y.
What became of this Walter Webley, I do not know, but he may have been living, in
1 69 1, when his uncle. Col. Morris, spoke disparagingly of him in his will, alluding to his re-
taining various silver pieces. These may be some of the things that he took, eighteen years
before, to secrete them from the Dutch, and if so, it proves Col. Morris had a singularly re-
tentive memory and unforgiving disposition.
"unto w"^^ I add the Children of the said Negro Bess, (E.xcept one that is otherwise Disposed of), and One
Dozen of Silver Spoons, One Large Tankard, one Large Tumbler, One Small Tumbler, and one Porringer, all
of Silver, all of which last Menconed things added, I give and bequeath unto my Said Nephew, Lewis Morris,
in Lieu of Some things that are Left and supposed to be embezelled by Walter Webley. " Will of Col. Morris.
The relation of the preceding Walter Webley to the following Thomas Webley, I conceive
to be a brother, for Walter Webley is the established nephew of Col. Morris, and Thomas
Webley, in his will of 1698, solicits the kind intervention of his "christian kinsman, Lewis
Morris," [the Governor], in his settlement of his affairs.
1684. Thomas Webley, of Shrewsbury, was a Debtor.
1684. Thomas Webley, of Fenwick's Colony, was a witness.

1688. Thomas Webley succeeded Robert Hamilton, as Clerk of the Court, and Recorder,
of Monmouth County.
In 1 69 1, he was willed two hundred and fifty acres of land, at Tinton, by Col. Lewis
Morris.
In 1694, Thomas Webley deposes that he is "thirty ffour Yeares or thereabouts" of age.
1700. Thomas Webley, of Monmouth County, was a Grand Juror.

called Quiahocking, to Jonathan Beere, of Salem Town, gentleman.
At a Court of Sessions, held at Shrewsbury, the Third Tuesday in October, 1700.
"Thomas Webley having spoke several contemptuous and reproachful words in the Court, and having
otherwise misbeha\ed himself in the presence of the Court, the Court therefore order that said Thomas Webley
doe immediately pay the sum of five shillings for the use of.the poor, or be put by the constable in the stocks for
the space of two hours."
Thomas Webley paid the said five shillings for the use aforesaid.

5 CAPT. RICHARD MORRIS, son of William Morris, i, was born in 1616. He, appar-
ently, accompanied his brother, Lewis Morris, to the Barbadoes, where he settled, and by his
marriage to Miss Pole, of that island, largely increased his wealth. He was appointed Captain,
in the regiment commanded by his brother. Col. Lewis Morris.
In 1670, he settled in New York and engaged in mercantile life. His residence was in that
portion of Westchester County, later created into the Manor of Mojrisania. This land he
bought in conjunction with his brother. Col. Lewis Morris.
He died in 1672 ; and his wife, Sarah, some time earlier, leaving an infant about six months
old. The changing of the government from English to Dutch and back again, occasioned some
confusion in the guardianship of the infant and settlement of his father's estate:
1672, September. "Whereas Captain Richard Morris, of this city, merchant, died intestate, leaving a
considerable estate behind him, and whereas his brother, Colonel Lewis Morris, hath a great interest for the
protection of the estate, it is judged requisite that some extraordinary care should be taken," and in con-

6 THOMAS MORRIS, supposed son of William Morris, i.
The degree of kinship, of Thomas Morris to Lewis Morris, has never been positively proved
but he was, evidently, upon the same plane of descent from a common ancestor. This is estab-
lished by a careful study of dates, appearing under Lewis Morris, his son, 10. From these I
deduce that Thomas Morris was born about 1630, and was, of necessity, either a brother or a
cousin of Col. Lewis Morris. He probably never came to this country.
The original William Morris of Tintern, had four sons, Lewis, William, Thomas and Rich-
ard. Bolton,* 2nd edition, Vol. 2, p. 455.

Thomas Morris is also mentioned in a census of St. Michael's Parish, with wife and three

whom yet there may be great hope, " was born Oct. 15, 167 1, and died in 1746. '
The anticipations of greatness, expressed by Mr. NicoU, were quickly realized, when Lewis
Morris, merged from an unruly youth, into a Judge of the Sessions, at the age of twenty years:
1690, '92, '95, '96, '97, 1700, '01, '03, '04. He was a Judge of the Court of Sessions, sitting, alternately, at
Middletown and Shrewsbury, N. J., and with him, on the same bench, sat, also as a justice, his kinsman, Lewis
Morris, of Passage Point, for many years and until his death.
In 1700, he was President of the Court of Sessions.
About 1694, friction arose between the two Justices Morris, on the one hand, and their
neighbors on the other, which culminated in law suits:
1694. The Grand Jury indicted Lewis Morris, of Tinton Manor, for fencing in the highway, and a little
later, again indicted him for "stopping and fencing in ye highway that goes to Freehold and Middletown."
*Bolton drew from a manuscript history of the family, written by Valentine Morris, of England, a descendant of an elder
brother of Captain Richard Morris. This Valentine Morris was born in 1727.
26 fflSTORICAL MISCELLANY
Called upon to take cognizance of this indictment, it was an awkward situation for his
judicial associates, and they hedged for time, by diplomatically directing a process for his
appearance, at the next Court. The finale of this attempt to restrain Morris was as audacious
as it was amusing:
Thomas Gordon was appointed by the Court, King's attorney, and when the case of Morris was called
" the King's Attorney demanded a Fee of any one that would employ him to plead to the indictment. There
was no one that would prosecute the said Morris, so that the presentment was quasht."
But the fight was not over. At the Court of Sessions and Common Pleas, held at Shrewsbury,
the 26th and 27th days of September, 1698, Lewis Morris, of Tinton Manor, was again presented
by the Grand Jury, for fencing in the highway, between Tinton Falls and Swimming River
Bridge; and still again, for a like offence, was he indicted, Sept. 12, 1699. This persistent
opposition to the encroachments of Lewis Morris brought about a mutual dislike and hatred,
which found further expression when, in 1700 and 1701, in the Quit Rent fight, the people
defied the Justices, who were impotent in office, and whose Sheriff was restrained by the people,
from levying on goods, and whose Constables were powerless to arrest. The greatest scene in
this drama, perhaps, was the seizure of Governor Hamilton, Justices Lewis Morris, Samuel
Leonard, Jedediah Allen and Samuel Dennis, the King's Attorney- General and Secretary,
Clerk of the Court, and the under Sheriff, who were holding a Court of Sessions, at Middletown,
Mch. 25, 1 701, by about one hundred persons, who "kept them under guard, close prisoners,
froni Tuesday, the 25th of March, till the Saturday following, being the 29th of the same month,
and then released them. "
Apparently this attack and incarceration had been premeditated for some time:
1700,- July 30 the Ambition & folly of Morris being known to the people of Monmoth they sent
to advise with their neighberring Countys Middlesex & Essex what was best & most convenient to be done who
generaly advised to secure themselves & oppose Morris & the rest that assert & would endeavour to set up Col
Hamiltons arbitrary & illegal power & withall have promised assistance if ocation requires we feare
what may be [the] event of these things you know how hot headed Morris & Leonard are & itt may be feared
their pride & mallis may cause great trouble if not prevented. It is the general resolution of the Country that
if they make future disturbance to apprehend Haniilton Morris & Leonard & secure them ontill his Majesties
pleasure shall be known concerning them Letter to Jeremiah Basse.
1 71 1. Lewis Morris was appointed Second Judge, of the Supreme Court.
1 715. He was appointed Chief- Justice of New York, and so remained for the succeeding
eighteen years.
Lewis Morris must have possessed, naturally, a fine, legal mind, for though not bred to the
law, he continued to rise in judicial prominence, until he attained the greatest heights of dis-
tinction. Even his opponents conceded his ability, but his rulings were not infrequently par-
tisan, and he carried this bias in favor of his friends to the end of his career :
"At the time of the preparation and filing of the Bill in Chancery, Lewis Morris was Governor of the Pro-
vince. He had long been conversant with the matters in litigation and was deeply interested in the issue of
this most important case — holding a large part of his property in New Jersey by Proprietary rights, Gov. Morris
had presumed, without, as was alleged, due authority, to erect a Court of Chancery, and to exercise the pre-
rogatives of Chancellor. Could the Bill in question have been, with its Answer, submitted to his adjudication,
the plaintiffs would, undoubtedly, have obtained just such a decision as they desired. But this favorable
prospect was blighted by the decease of the Governor in May, 1746. " Hatfield's History of Elizabeth, N. J.
Aside from his judicial positions, Lewis Morris held other high office. He was, frequently,
a Member of the New York and New Jersey Assemblies, as also a member of various Governors'
Councils.
1693, '94> '95- He was a member of Governor Hamilton's Council; New Jersey.
1697, '98, '99. He was a Member of the House of Deputies; New Jersey.
1698, Apr. 7. Jeremiah Basse superseded Hamilton, as Governor, by a Commission, dated
July 15, 1697. When he had occupied this position thirteen months, friction arose between
MORRIS OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 27
himself and Morris, which prompted the latter to raise a question as to the sufficiency of his
commission.
For some cause, which I am now unable to state, Lewis Morris, May 10, 1699, demanded
that Governor Basse and Council should sign a blank wTit against Obadiah Holmes, Sheriff of
Monmouth County, but the Governor and Council were unanimously of the opinion that it
ought not to be signed during the sessions of the Court, not remembering any such practice in
this Province, and knowing the said Holmes " to be a Sufficient man & easy to be come at, any
time."
The GoA-ernor and Council then ordered Lewis Morris and George Willocks to be brought
before them and to give security for their appearance at the Court of Common Right, and to be
of good behaviour, otherwise a mittimus to be issued "to convey them to Goal till they Should
find Security," which Mr. Morris desired an hour or two to consider.
When Mr. Morris was notified, that £300, security, was called for, he refused, and said he
would not give it, especially for the good behaviour as by no overt act had he in any way given
occasion to them to suspect it.
Events now followed thick and fast. At the Court of Common Right, held, at Perth
Amboy, May 11, 1698, at which sat Basse, and his Council:
"Lewis Morris, Esq'', came into open Court & demanded by what authority they Kept Court, the
Court declared by the Kings Authority. He denyed & being asked who was dissatisfied besides liimself, he
said one & all, the Court Commanding the sd Morri's to be taken into Custodie, Coll: Richard Townley, Andrew
Hampton, both of Elizabeth Towne, with three or four more cryed out one & all, & he, the sd Lewis Morris,
said he would fain see who darst lay hold on him, & when a Constable, by order of the Court, layd hold on
him he, in the face of the Court, resisted."
For this, he was committed for contempt of Court. There must have been a short but
tempestuous scene before Morris was lodged in Woodbridge jail, for,
1698, May 12. "Matt: Moore aged 31 years or there abouts makcth Oath that he was in Court & see
Lewis Morris affront the Govern'': & upon which the Govern'': ordred him to withdraw but would not & still
gave the Governour very Saucy Language upon which he ordred the Constables to arrest the sd Lewis Morris,
but he the sd Lewis Morris withstood the sd Constables & would not suffer them to come nigh him, upon
which the sd Constables commanded me to lay hands upon him which I went to take hold on him, he made
some resistance, & did endeavour to draw his Hanger, but I being quick prevented him."
And several others made similar affida\ats.
Concurrently with this event, Lewis Morris was elected to serve in the General Assembly,
for the town of Perth Amboy, and on the 15th of May, the Sheriff, of the County of Middlesex,
made his return. This was a moral reinforcement of Morris, and his associate, Willocks, who
were promptly rescued, b}' their friends, who battened in the jail with a heavy plank. No
sooner were they free, than they returned to the attack. Basse had, temporarily, installed in
his place, Capt. Andrew Bowne, and to him and the Council, Willocks and Morris addressed the
following letter, which was dehvered by Mrs. Willocks, May i6th.
grs
We are now able (God be thanked) to treat with you any way you think fitt if you had valued either your
own or the welfare of the Government your procedures had been more calm Your day is not yet out, & it is
inyour power to follow the things that make for peace, & if you do not, at your door lye the consequence, our
friends will not suffer us to be putt upon, farewell.
Geo. "Willocks Lewis Morris
When Jeremiah Basse was replaced, as Governor, by his predecessor, Hamilton, Lewis
Morris was again returned to the Council.
1700. Lewis Morris was President of Governor Hamilton's Council.
1700, July 23. Col. Hamilton hath put Mr. Morris into Commission of his Council & Justice believing
him to be the onely man that can make the province Submit to him as Governor & itt is saide Morris

the Scotch that throughoutt the province theare is six to one against owneing Col Hamilton Governor and
almost all biterly against Morris, whome they looked uppon as the first man as Indead he was that opposed
Government, &c. Signed Andrew Bowne, Rich. Hartshorne one of y^ Council.
1 701. He vi^as a Member of Governor Hamilton's Council.
1 701. Lewis Morris was active, in the behalf of the Proprietors, who desired to surrender
their rights of government to the Crown, and "Inbehalfeof aU y^ Proprietors Residing in East
Jersie, " signed the memorial to that effect.
1702. Lewis Morris was in London, suggesting the surrender of New Jersey to the Crown,
and so impressed the Lords of Trade, that they suggested to the Secretary of State, that the
Queen should appoint him temporary governor, but nothing came of it, as it was decided to
consoUdate New York and New Jersey under one government. For his endeavors in England,
Governor Hamilton gave him a grant of land.
1703. Lewis Morris was a Member of Lord Cornbury's Council.
1703. Lewis Morris was the head of the Scotch party, who, by reason of a Scotch governor,
Hamilton, "carryed it with a high hand ag' the rest of the Inhabitants."
1705. Lord Cornbury wrote that Lewis Morris "does give his tongue too great a liberty. "
1705. Again did Lewis Morris offend Lord Cornbury, who suspended him from the Coun-
cil, and wrote: "he will always obstruct the Queen's service, and indeed he has so intirely
given himself up to the Interest of the Proprietors, that he can see with no other eyes but theirs. "
But, apparently, Levds Morris was too valuable a man to be continuously suspended, for, in
1707, Lord Cornbury was commanded, by the Lords of Trade, to restore Lewis Morris to the
CouncU, upon his sub/nission.
1707. Lewis Morris wrote, at considerable length, to the Secretary of State, in England,
a full account of the Condition of the Province of New Jersey, wherein he scored his enemies and
paraded his own loyalty.
1707. June 28, Philadelphia. Col. Robert Quary, writing to the Lords of Trade, said:
"Mr. Jennings & Coll: Morris, with the assistance of two or three others, was very hard
at work in hatching the most scandalous paper, that I ever saw in my life;" and further on
said that Col. Lewis Morris, "at the mouth of them all, told his Lordship, that the Queen's
order & instructions did not concern or affect them," i. e. the New Jersey Assembly.
1708. Lewis Morris was proposed by Lord Lovelace for membership in his council, to
which he was appointed.
1709. Lewis Morris was the subject of complaints, in letters of great length, written by
Lord Lovelace, accusing him of changing his principles, and turning from party to party, as
served his interests, and, as Lord Cornbury had said of him, he was possessed of "neither good
Principles nor morals. "
1709. He was suspended by Lieut. -Governor Ingoldsby from the Council, but was rein-
stated by the Lords of Trade, who stated that he had been removed for insufficient reasons.
1709, April. The Lieutenant-Governor and Council of New Jersey, viz., Richard Ingoldsby,
William Sandford, Dan: Coxe, Robert Quary, William Pinhorne, Richard Townley and Roger
Mompesson, addressed Governor Lovelace, at New York, at considerable length, upon the great
disorder prevailing throughout the Province, wherein they impeached him for want of tact and
force, and attribute much of the existing state of affairs to Lewis Morris. Alluding to the
Assembly, they say :
"Their Resolutions of not raising any money for the Support of the Governm'. nor of making or repairing
jayles, a work of so absolute a necessity, But finding them so throwly Guided & Driven by Mr Morris and
Sam' Jennings whose mischevous tempers this poor Country hath for many years past groaned under, we
thought it our duty in Conscience to testifie to her Sacred Majestic our dislike and abhorrence of the Same."
.... "and that we conceived those disturbances to be wholly owing the uneasie and disloyall Princi-
MORRIS OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 29
pies of Two men in that Assembly, M"" Lewis Morris and M"" Sam'. Jennings a Quaker, never known to be
consistent with themselves, Men to whom all the factions and confusions in the Government for many years are
wholly owing."
.... ''As to M"" Morris the whole County where he lived namely the County of Monmouth are witness
to his troublesome temper, whereby he was a perfect torment to his neighbours ; those who know him best have
most reason of complaint, And since he came to write man hath been Eminently concerned if not Principall in
all the Rebellions & Disorders that have been in this Province, as may appear by his own hand writing"
"there is hardly a County in the Eastern Division wherein he did not succeed to stirr them to dangerous
and notorious Riotts and Rebellions, but only the County of Bergen where he did not faile for doing mischiefe
for want of good-will, But that the Dutch People therein were wiser, and treated him with that Contempt
his Evill Designs Required; ffor his old and Present Confederate the Nonjuror Willocks and He made a Journey
(or Voyage) into that County to Infuse the same notions of Rebellion ags' Governm' as they had preached at
Elisabeth Town, with better success. But all they got of that People was They did not understand oversetting
of Governm' and pulling Magistrates Judges and Justices from the Bench; It was a werke they had no liking
to; and so closed their Resolutions among themselves, that they would not have to do with the Spiker-maker ;
That was the very term of Contempt (being Dutchmen) they used towards Morris grounded upon the Iron
works his Unkle left him." . .
"But after the Red-hott Letters of M"'. Morris Especially that to the Governm' . . which is wrote with
that Pride and venom that Bedlam would scarce afford a man mad enough to sett a Governm' at such
Defiance and treat Gentlemen with that contempt ; and his and Willocks their Short Epistle . . aforesaid
brought into the Councill by M'"^ Willocks whilst the Assembly was sitting, and Morris and Willocks aboard
a Sloop turning it in the Bay before the Town, Firing Guns as by way of Defiance to the Governm'. and the
Record of com'on right . . in all which Morris was personally contriver and actor of the Disorders as also
the Records of those Dangerous Riots in Essex County (after Morris^ Inconsistencies had made him Almanzor
like change Parties) carried on by the same Principles and the same men that Morris had stirred up into Re-
bellion, where a Body of about seventy horse came Purposely to destroy the Courts, Pulled the Magistrates
of the Bench, tore their Cloaths from their Backs, Striking and abusing them with the greatest Billinsgate
Language they could find as appears by the Record of the Court of Sessions at Newark . . A Place where
Morris himself in Person with most of the same men had used a Court much at the same Rate but a little
before. So that his affording them Precepts and Examples the last Rebellion (tho he was not Present) may
Justly be laid at his Door. As also that other Ryott of forcing the Keys of the Jail of the County of Essex from
the High Sheriff, and abusing his Person, and setting Criminals at liberty, being no more than was done by the
same men, (as appears by the Records of the Court of Com'on Right) but a little before in Middlesex County,
for M"". Morris when with a Beam of an house they Batterd Woodbridge Jail to Pieces and set him and his
Seditious Companion Willocks at liberty. Who were there committed for Severall High Crimes and Misde-
meanours as appears by the Presentm' of the Grand Jury" . .
.... "And we have Just reason to say that the Disturbances of this Province seems to be owing wholly
to those two men viz'. Lewis Morris and Sam' Jennings, their naturall tempers and the constant business of
their lives was to be always in Broiles, always in Contention; Humanum est Errare, sed Diabolic'n perseverare;
Those mens Extravagances are a large field; But after an Instance or two more of Morris's Inconsistencies
shall desist."
.... "Have but patience till the year 1700 and you will find him quite another man wonderfully changed
in less than two years time. Then you shall find him accept of Comissions from the Proprietors Governm*,
and declaring that he would go through with them, and if any man resisted he would spill his Blood or he should
Spill his; for he made no Scruple of Conscience, and would go through with the office he had accepted from y'^
Governm' though the Streets ran with Blood. " . .
.... "it is apparent what opinion his old friends had of him. Even those whom he led into the former
Violences against Government, who broke Jayls to release him His own words are these viz*. 'It was your
complaint I had left you in the lurch like a villain, deceived you, ingaged you in a Business and left you in the
middle of it. That if I came to your Town you would tear me to pieces and more Expressions of this nature
you used. ' . . So that we think he has proved his Inconsistences himself under his own hand plain Enough,
without any need of our Paraphrase or Explanation, and upon the whole matter. The Question lies only here
whither he was Guilty of Rebellion in the Year 1698 or in the year 1700."
1 7 10. Lewis Morris, having taken up a permanent residence on his Morrisania plantation,
was sent, as a Deputy, from Westchester County, to the New York Assembly, to which he was
returned until 1728.
1 7 10. Governor Himter wrote the Lords of Trade that Lewis Morris had been expelled
30 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
from the New York Assembly, for pressing the reconsideration "with some warm expressions, "
of a motion to lev)^ for the Gov^ernor's yearly expenses twenty-five hundred ounces of plate,
"which they interpreted to be falsely and scandalously vilifying the honour of their house."
Nevertheless Lewis Morris had the confidence of his constituents, for he was promptly returned
to the Assembly. As a reward for his defence in the Assembly, Governor Hunter appointed
Lewis Morris, Chief- Justice, of New York, in 1715.
1 71 1. Lewis Morris wrote a lengthy letter to John Chamberlayne, Esq., defending Gov-
ernor Hunter from an attack, on the part of the Clergy, for not removing a dissenting minister
from the parsonage at Jamaica, and installing the Rev. Mr. Poyer therein.
1712, June 2. Jacob Henderson, Missionary, of Dover Hundred, in Pennsylvania, writing,
concerning the state of the Church of England, in New York and New Jersey, stated that "y^
Quakers or other Dissenters, " had "at their head one Coll: Lewis Morris, a profess'd Church
man, but a man of noe manner of principles or credit, a man who calls the service of the Church
of England Pageantry, who has joyned in endeavours to settle a conventicle in the City of
New York and whose practice it is to intercept letters, and let such as pleases him pass, and those
y' doe not he destroys as can be fully proved."
This, with a further arraignment of Colonel Morris, with Governor Hunter, provoked
an answer, in which the writer said that "a little Helebore might do him, (the Rev. Mr. Hen-
derson), more good than a reply," and denying these imputations said, "if a mans outward
behaviour at home or abroad and in all the duties of his life is a true means of judging of a
man all who know anything of Coll Morris will say that he is unexceptionable."
1715, Mch. 28. Governor Robert Hunter wrote to the Lords of Trade:
"M'' Mompesson our Cheif Justice is dead, I have commissionated Lewis Morris, Esq"", in his room for
these reasons amongst others, that he is a sencible honest man, and able to live without a salary, which they
will most certainly never grant to any in that station, at least sufficient to maintain his Clerk. "
Despite the doubt in Governor Hunter's mind, Lewis Morris must have been voted a
salary, which was raised in due time and provoked antagonism. For Governor Montgomerie
reduced this salary as Chief Justice, which had been enlarged from £130 to £300, upon the
ground of increased work, although the true reason was " that the Chief Justice being a Member
of the Assembly in 171 5, when the revenue was given, his salary was augmented by the great
number of his friends he had then in the House, and for the ser\dces he did there"
"This the people of the province have often complained of since I arrived here, " and his salary
was cut £50.
Between 1720 and 1728, Lewis Morris lived on apparently amicable terms with the Gov-
ernor, Burnett, and in similar friendly relations with Burnett's successor, Montgomerie, despite
the reduction in his salary. But another state of affairs prevailed upon the arrival of Governor
Cosby, in 1 732. Lewis Morris, as Chief Justice, favorably sustained the claims of Rip Van Dam,
President of the Council, between Montgomerie's death and Cosby's coming, for a salary which
Cosby desired to cut one half. This decision provoked the ill-will and even hatred of Cosby,
who addressed him a discourteous letter with personal reflections and innuendoes. To this
Morris made a dignified reply, but Cosby removed him from office. An indignant populace
turned against Cosby and supported IMorris, whom they shortly returned to the Assembly
by an enormous vote and with great rejoicing throughout the city. The Zenger case arose from
this act, and Hberty of the press followed, despite Cosby's efforts to suppress it.
1733, May 3, Burlington. Governor Cosby, writing to the Duke of Newcastle, gives his
version of the situation in the following letter:
"My Lord,
On my arrival at New York I found M'' Lewis Morris Chief Justice, M'' James Delancey Second Judge
and M'' Frederick Phillips the third Judge of the Supreme Court of that province ; the two last Men of good
MORRIS OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 31
Characters both, as to their understanding and integrity, but the Chief Justice a Man under a general dislike,
not only for his want of probity but for his delay of Justice, his excessive pride and his oppression of the
people. These things. My Lord, I have been obliged to hear, without the mention of any one virtue in his
behalf. I have often e.xpected that he would come to me as others before him thought it their duty to former
Governours, from whence I might have an opportunity to tell him of these complaints; but whether it be owing
to his pride, his folly, or some unaccountable humour, he has not been once to visit me since I have been here,
and I have no reason to think, that any admonition would have the least effect upon him, or if it would, things
are come to that pass, that I can no longer suffer him to sitt upon that Bench. I will point out a few of his
faults, and give an instance to prove each, that Your Grace may see I do not displace without reason. And:
First, of his partiality. Some years ago the dissenters of the parish of Jamaica in this province brought
an Ejectment against the Church Ministers for the Church he preached in and was possessed of; when the
Tryal came on, the Defendant's Council demured to the Plaintiffs evidence; Morris the Chief Justice desired
them to waive the demurer, telling them that if the Jury found for the Plaintifi he would grant the Defendants
a new tryal; the Defendants Council were very unwilling to do it, but however knowing the Man and fearing
the worst from him if they refused they did consent, and the Jury found for the Plaintiff; the Defendants
Council moved the next term (before Judgement) for a new tryall, and urged his promise, he denied at first
that he gave any, but when they offered to make oath of it, he said a rash promise ought not to be kept, and
never would grant them a new Tryall; whereby they lost their Church, and the Dissenters have ever since had
it; its talked and believed to, that he was bribed to it, but as I have had no proof offered me, I have made no
inquiry about it; his partiality however is evident.
Secondly, his delay of Justice. The complaints of this to, are the subjects of every day's discourse, in
term time especially ; I will single out one instance only, wherein not only his delay but likewise his injustice
will appear. One Renselaer, brought his Ejectment against another Man, which the Lawyers tell me, is done
on a feigned Lease for a term of years. The cause proceeded to issue, and a special verdict was found. The
points of Law were afterwards argued before him at several times by Council on both sides, after this they
expected and moved for Judgement, term after term, till the lease whereon the Ejectment was brought was
pretty near expiring ; then the PI'* moved that we would either give Judgement or enlarge the time of the
lease; but he would do neither, so the Lease expired and the Pl'^ lost the benefit of his suit after a tedious at-
tendance and a vast expence.
Thirdly, his oppressing the people, by giving them a great deal of trouble, and puting them to a fruitless
expence, both, of time and money, in their attendance on the Courts. The constant method he takes in opening
and adjourning the Court is thus: he adjourns it to eight or nine in the morning, but seldom opens it till
twelve, one and two, and sometimes three in the afternoon, tho' the Jurys and others who have business are
waiting from the hours adjourned to, not knowing when to expect him, and fearing to be fined if they happen
not to be there. Irregular hours proceed from several causes, some whereof are his pride in makeing the world
wait his leizure and his intemperate drinking in which he often spends whole nights ; this he does in term time
in the Town of Xew York. In the Circuits it is still more intolerable, for there, these hours of adjournment and
sitting are not only like those, but the people who go forty or fifty miles from their habitations, live at much
greater ex-pence and loose more time, and sometimes after Jurys have been summoned, witnesses subpened,
partys attended, and all the Justices of the Peace and other Officers have gone to the place appointed for holding
these Courts, as by ordinance of Morris's own procuring, they are directed and waited their several days in
expectation of the Chief Justice, who then alone was to go the Circuits, he has not come to hold the Court.
I have heard the damage that one County has sustained by one neglect of holding the Circuit Courts, computed
at above two hundred pounds. To remedy in some measure this grievance, the Assembly have, since my come-
ing to the Govern' given the Second Judge a Salary, and now both, the Chief Justice and Second Judge are
obliged to go the Circuits or forfeit their Salary. Besides, in some of the Northern Countys he has neglected
going the Circuit near four years."
In 1734 Lewis Morris went, as an agent, to England to inform the Home Government of
the situation, but while treated with distinction, he failed in his mission to secure Cosby 's re-
moval, though it was determined that Morris had been removed from the Chief Justiceship
on insufficient cause.
In 173S Lewis Morris was appointed Governor of New Jersey. The references to this re-
markable man in the Documentary Histories of New York and New Jersey are too numerous
to further quote in extenso, but ejiough has been given to furnish something of an insight into
his strength and his peculiarities.
32 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
Lewis Morris was a member of the Church of England and much interested in religious
matters, which secured him the backing of the church party, in England:
1700. Lewis Morris wrote a letter to the Bishop of London, concerning the state of religion
in the Jerseys, and paid his respects to his Middletown neighbors, saying, "they are, perhaps,
the most ignorant and wicked people in the world. Their meetings, on Sundays, are at the
Public House, where they get their fill of rum and go to fighting and running of races, which
are practices very common all the Province over."
His estimate of the inhabitants elsewhere, was only a little less severe: "The youth of the
whole Province, are very debauched and very ignorant. The Sabbath day seems there to be
set apart for rioting and drunkenness. In a word, a general ignorance and immorality runs
through the youth of the whole Province."
This severe arraignment was, in part, an effort on the side of Lewis Morris, to secure to
himself, the appointment of Governor of the Province, by propitiating the Church of England,
and, in part, an effort to settle his grievances with the people of Middletown, of whose frequent
indictments and contempt he had had such abundant evidence. Apparently the poor opinion
each had of the other, was reciprocal.
Lewis Morris was a Member of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign
Parts, and a liberal benefactor and Vestryman, of Trinity Church, in New York City.
The politics of his time were a confused jumble and Lewis Morris was, apparently, ar-
rayed first with one contending faction and then with another in a most contradictory manner,
suggesting a lack of principle, greed of self-advancement and often personal revenge, but it
was a day of strife between the Quaker, the Scot and the Englishman; the Proprietor and the
Patentee, and the Governor, Council and Assembly, each of whom, with keen and often dis-
honorable rivalry, strove for supremac3\ From the vast amount of their crimination and
recrimination it is difficult to arrive at a positive conviction of the merits of the struggle, but
I feel that Lewis Morris possessed no lofty sense of rectitude, but did possess a selfish ambition
allied closely to the principle of rule or ruin.
His autocratic nature and inordinate political ambition were the sources of his troubles
and they were unceasing and great. For fifty-six years, the whole range of his political life,
he wrangled. He was intemperate of speech and action in his youth, but became more dig-
nified and restrained as he advanced in years. He possessed great aptitude for public life but
under any opposition became irritable and aggressive. To his superiors he was often hostile,
while to his inferiors he was arrogant and overbearing. He maintained his own rights vigor-
ously, but had little respect for those of others. He was vain, courageous and independent,
which caused him to be arrested for contempt and to be expelled from the Assembly of New
Jersey and the Assembly of New York. With six out of nine colonial governors he warred,
and defended himself by writing vigorous and plausible letters to the Home Government,
which must have been sorely tried to discover the truth and adjust their differences.
That he possessed a large and intelligent grasp on public affairs and served his employers
well is established by the length of his service, and whatever may be said of his public life, his
private life was free from blemish and his honesty unquestioned. If his peculiarities made him
foes, his partisanship made him as many friends. Up to his last he was physically and men-
tally strong, and it was typical of the man that, at the very end of his career, he was still in
conflict with the legislative authority, in this instance the New Jersey Assembly, who, prac-
ticing tactics similar to his own of former years when in New York, withheld his supplies and
salary.
In his will he requested that he be buried in Morrisania, in a plain coffin, with no funeral
sermon; that no mourning rings or scarfs should be given, or mourning worn, saying: "I die

when I should die, and no one ought to mourn because I do so, but may mourn to pay the
shop keeper for his goods, should they comply with (what I think) the common folly of such
an expense."
Lewis Morris heired his father, Richard Morris', estate and the greater part of his uncle.
Col. Lewis Morris', estate, to which he added by his own efforts, and became one of the most
opulent men of his day.
From about 1689 to 1708, he resided at Tinton Manor, Shrewsbury, whence he removed
to the Manor of Morrisania. For some years, at least, he spent a part of his time between
these two places, but as years went on, he became more identified with his Westchester planta-
tion.
In 1 738, when New Jersey was separated from New York, he was appointed to the governor-
ship of the former state, and rented a farm, near Trenton, which he called Kingsbury, where he
resided during the eight years that he held office, and where he died May 21, 1746.
1 701. Lewis Morris, of Shrewsbury, and Dame Isabella, his wife, made a conveyance of
lands.
1 701. Lewis Morris, of Tinton Manor, heir of Colonel Morris, made a conveyance of land.
1702. Lewis Morris, of Tinton Manor, in consideration of his services, with the Ministers
of State, in England, received a deed for six different pieces of land, in various localities, and
Lord Cornbury says, his quit rents were rebated.
1703. Lewis Morris, of Tinton Manor, leased land from the Proprietors, along the beach,
between Manasquan and Shrewsbury River, for "the trees for sawing and making pitch,
tar," etc.
1705. Lewis Morris had "lately taken that farme, [in Westchester], into his hands"
and "was very busy putting his affairs in order there." Making this an excuse, he failed to
attend the Council, to which he was summoned by Lord Cornbury, who suspended him for his
rudeness, but he apologized through Dr. Ennis.
1708, Mch. 15. Lewis Morris, of Shrewsbury, sold land to Samuel Tilton, of Middletown,
lying next to John Tilton.
Lewis Morris married, in New York City, by license dated Nov. 3, 1691, Isabella, daugh-
ter of James Graham, the Attorney-General of the Province. She must have had a strong
influence over him, for, from being an unruly youth, he promptly settled down, and applied
himself assiduously to public affairs. She was born June 3, 1672/3, and died April 3,. 1752.

10 LEWIS MORRIS, son of Thomas Morris, 6, was born, by deduction, about 1655.
He was called "Lewis Morris, Jr.," to distinguish him from Col. Lewis Morris, and also "Lewis
Morris, of Passage Point," to distinguish him from his kinsman. Governor Lewis Morris, of
Tintern Manor, Shrewsbury, N. J. He was among the early settlers of the Monmouth Tract.
In 1 68 1, he was confirmed in his ownership of three hundred acres of land, at Middletown,
as a "First Purchaser of Navesink," from the year 1670.
1682-3. He was Sheriff of Monmouth County, and Ensign of a Shrewsbury Company of
Mihtia.
1690 to 1695. He was a Justice, of the Court of Sessions, in Monmouth County, as was
also, at the same time, Lewis Morris, of Tinton.
1689, Apr. 15. Col. Lewis Morris conveyed to Lewis Morris, son of Thomas Morris,
land, that he had acquired, in 1681, by purchase from Simon Cooper, and which was called
Norransont or Passage Point. This land is now known as Rumson Neck, near Seabright, New
Jersey.
1689, June 25. At a Court of Sessions, held at Middletown, on this date, Lewis Morris
was among a goodly number of individuals accused of "running of races" and "playing at
nyne pins on the Sabbath day."
Lewis Morris, of Passage Point, hke his kinsman, whose name he bore, was aggressive,
fiery and autocratic, and much embroiled with his neighbors:
1694, Dec. 25. The Grand Jury indicted Lewis Morris, of Passage Point, for striking
Nicholas Sarah, of Freehold, and the Court issued a summons for him to appear at the next
Court of Sessions, to be held, at Middletown, Mch. 27, 1695.
At this Session, the two Justices Morris sat, and Lewis Morris, of Passage Point, did
inform the Court how matters was and submitted himself to the Bench; and was dismist.
Sarah was evidently much disgruntled by his failure to punish Morris, and abused Peter
Tilton, one of the Justices, for which he was presented by the Grand Jury.
1694, Sept. 25, 26 and 27. The Grand Jury indicted Lewis Morris, of Passage Point,
because he, "with several of his negroes, did feloniously take away the hay of William Shattock."
Apparently he little relished a trial by jurors, independent enough to indict him, a pre-
siding magistrate, so that he removed the case, by habeas corpus, to the Court, at Perth Amboy,
while Lewis Morris, of Tintern Manor, became his bondsman.
1694, Dec. 25. Then Lewis Morris, of Tintern Manor, and Lewis Morris, of Passage
Point, by reason of their famiUes were sick, did desire that they might withdraw and go home;
which was granted.
Lewis Morris was killed by one of his negroes, in 1694-5, who was hung for the offence:
It is ordered by the court that the negroes that are in the goal, for the murdering of Lewis Morris, of
Passage Point, shall be conveyed, by the Sheriff, to Perth Amboy, to attend the Court of Common Right, on
the second Tuesday, of October next. And that a mittimus shall be directed to the Sheriff, of Middlesex, to
receive and keep said negroes.

Upon his death, his widow applied for and received letters of administration, upon his
estate, Apr. i, 1696, which was inventoried, May 26, 1696, and amounted to £146-9-5. She
was Elizabeth, the daughter of William and Audrey Almy, of Rhode Island.

21 LEWIS MORRIS, son of Governor Lewis Morris, 9, born September 23, 1698, at
Tinton, N. J., died at Morrisania, N. Y., where he spent the most of his life, July 3, 1762. He
married, first, March 17, 1723, Trintie, daughter of Dr. Samuel Staats, by Johanna Rynders,
his wife, of New York city. She was born, as per the Bible record, Apl. 4, 1697, in New York,
and died Mch. 11, 1731, aged 36 years, "after a violent illness for Nine Days." He married,
second, Nov. 3, 1746, at Westchester, Sarah Gouverneur (apparently his first wife's niece),
born Oct. 17, 17 14; died Jan. 14, 1786.
He was a member of the Governor's Council at the age of 24, and so remained until re-
moved by the inimical Montgomerie. He was Speaker of the New York Assembly from 1737
to 1 746 ; Judge of the Court of Admiralty 1738, and one of the Commissioners to fix the boundary
line between New York and New Jersey in 1743.
By the side of his greater father he suffers in comparison, but he was a clever politician,
suave, humorous and tenacious, and quick with repartee.
He had some of the strange whimsical peculiarities and intolerances that stamped his for-
bears. His son Lewis had been educated at Yale, but his father must have taken some offence
at that institution, for when providing in his will for the education of his son Gouverneur, he
stated:
" My express will and directions are that he be never sent for that purpose to the colony of Connecticut,
lest he should imbibe in his youth that low craft and cunning so incident to the people of that country, wliich is
so interwoven in their constitutions that all their art cannot disguise it from the world, tho' many of them
under the sanctified Garb of Religion have endeavored to Impose themselves on the World for honest men."

22 GOVERNOR ROBERT HUNTER MORRIS, son of Governor Lewis Morris, 9,
was born about the year 1700. When his father became Governor of New Jersey, in 1738,
he was appointed Chief Justice of that state and a Member of the Governor's Council. He
likewise was, for a time, October, 1754 to August, 1756, Governor of Pennsylvania. As Chief
Justice of New Jersey, he presided until his death. He was a genial, hearty man, possessing
popularity. His home was at Tinton near where he died in 1764.
Smith, the historian, records his death: "He had a cousin, living at Shrewsbury, N. J.,*
who was wife of the clergyman of the parish. On the evening of the 27"' of January, [1764],
there was a dance in the village, at which all the respectable families of the neighborhood were
present. The Chief Justice led out the clergyman's wife, danced down six couples, and then
*Said to be the present residence of Dr. Ehrick Parmly, at Rumson.

without a word, or a groan, or a sigh, fell dead on the floor." "Unhappy New Jersey has lost
her best ornament."
Some years before his death, Robert Hunter Morris made his will, in which he set forth
that he was a resident of Tinton, in New Jersey, "intending on a voyage to Great Britain."
He was doubtless then about to start on his mission of advancing the interests of the American
Colonies, in England, where he resided some years. This instrument, dated Sept. 24 i7=;7
and proved Feb. 24, 1764, mentioned: '
Niece, Ann Morris, that now lives with me, £500 down, and £20 a year.
Nephew, John Morris, an officer in Lasscasses' Regiment, [Lafscellses], £500.

51 Robert Morris; natural child.
52 Mary Morris; natural child, supposed by EHzabeth Stogdale.
23 JOHN MORRIS son of Lewis Morris, 9.
Neither Governor Lewis Morris nor his wife made mention of sons other than Lewis
and Robert Hunter Morris, in their wills, who were named as e.xecutors. That they failed to
do so, is no proof that they had no other sons. That they did have, is known beyond dubiety.
The authority for this John is: "My son, Staats Long, was born the 27''^ day of August,
1728, at a quarter after one in the morning; was christened by Parson Oren; Capt. Robert
Long and my brother, John, godfathers; my sister, Ann, and Elizabeth Schuyler, godmothers."
Bible of 'Judge Lewis Morris; born 1698. New York Genealogical and Biographical
Record, Vol. 7, p. 17.
By exclusion of all other relatives, both on his side as well as his wife's, the "brother,
Jbhn, " must have been John Morris.
Then again, Mary Corbett, a sister to the Isabella Graham who married Governor Lewis
Morris, appointed, as an executor in her will, "her nephew, John Morris," and he qualified
for the position.
Physically he must have been a man of enormous size, for it is related that on transferring
the coffins in the vault, at Morrisania, to a new one that had been built, one of them broke,
and Gouverneur Alorris, (115), picking up a huge jaw bone that had fallen to the ground, made
the remark: "This must have belonged to John Morris, for he was an immense man. "
John Morris undoubtedly was the Surrogate, of Monmouth County, in 1733. By in-
ference, I beHeve liim to be the father of the two natural children, mentioned in the will of
Governor Robert Hunter Morris, as his niece and nephew.

Chasey, for an old family Bible says: "John Morris, the son of Rebecca Chasey, was born
Sept. 29, 1765." This is about two years and a half after the marriage license of John Morris
and Rebecca Cox, and while the Bible does not state that John Morris did marry her, and it
may be that Rebecca Chasey was a different person from Rebecca Cox, it nevertheless looks as
if Rebecca Cox and Rebecca Chasey were the same person.

states that "John, son of Elazerus and Frances Brewer, was born Sept. 16, 1754," and this date
agrees with the inscription on his tombstone, at Farmingdale. I am inclined to think, therefore,

52 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
106 GENERAL JACOB MORRIS, son of Lewis Morris, 43, died, at the age of 88, in
1844. At the early age of nineteen he became a Revolutionary Soldier and served throughout
that War, being favorably mentioned by General Charles Lee, on whose staff he served in
the Battle of Monmouth, New Jersey, as well as distinguishing himself at Fort Moultrie in
1776. General Jacob Morris married twice; first, during the Revolution, Mary Cox, by whom
he had twelve children, most of whom lived to advanced ages. He, Jacob Morris, married,
second, when over seventy years old. Miss Pringle.
Lewis Morris, (the father of Jacob Morris), with his brother Richard, received a tract
of three thousand acres of land in Montgomery County from the State of New York, as indem-
nification for loss and damage done to their property by the British occupation of their estate
in Morrisania during the Revolution. To this great tract of land, situated in the valley of the
Butternuts, Jacob Morris migrated, and established his home on the thousand acre tract which
was the portion of his father. Here a manor house was built, at what is now known as Morris,
Otsego County, still in the possession of his descendants, and where may be found many family
relics in the shape of furniture, etc.
Beautiful miniatures of Jacob Morris and his wife, taken when they were young, are in
the possession of Mrs. Sidney Webster, a daughter of Hamilton Fish. One of Jacob Morris'
daughters, a woman of many graces, married Hamilton Fish, who was Secretary of State under
General Grant, and as an evidence of her cleverness it is said that "she left Washington without
having made an enemy."
General Jacob Morris was interred in the Cemetery attached to the Morris Memorial
Chapel of All Saints, which was erected in 1866, by contributions from various members of the
Morris famUy.

Mrs. A. H. Weatherby, of Trenton, N. J., is the authority for saying that Samuel Morris,
possibly a descendant of Lewis Morris, of Passage Point (32), married Mary White; was the
father of Samuel Morris, (58), who married Hester Patterson, and grandfather of a John Morris,
who was killed in the Revolutionary- War. She further states that this John Morris and Eliza-
beth Elmer were the parents of Jacob ^Morris, who married, Nov. 21, 1799, Anne Wolcott, and
were the ancestors of the family that is given in the following notes. But the late James Steen,
Esq., of Eatontown, N. J., has given me to understand that the above mentioned Jacob Morris
was a natural child, and his authority for so saying was one of the descendants of the family
who had tried to trace out his ancestr>', only to discover that such was the case.

1743, Nov. 12. Administration was granted to John Henderson, chief creditor, upon the

Inventory of his estate was taken Nov. 19, 1743, by Ja^ Robinson and Peter Clark, ap-
praisers, and amounted to £22-4-0.
1789, Apr. 4. Anna Morris, widow of John Morris, deceased, gave bond to administer on
his estate, Joseph Tomson being the surety. Thomas Morford and William Lippincott ap-
praised his estate at £129-7-8. She afterwards married, prior to Aug. 10, 1799, Stephen
Fleming.

OF
NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY
The Motts had been seated in the adjoininp^ counties of Essex and Cambridge, England,
for several centuries, when two of the name of Adam Mott, one from each county, emigrated to
America. Adam Mott, from Cambridge, called the taylor, came with his family, to Boston, in
163s, and Adam Mott, from Essex, left some years later and settled in New Amsterdam.
It is singular that these two Adam Motts, each with sons, Gershom and Adam, should have
lived contemporaneously in the early history of this country, and it would have been confusing
had they have resided in the same locality, but, fortunately, they dwelt apart; one in Rhode
Island, whose descendants have been traced by Austin, while the other, in whom we are in-
terested, resided, first, in New Amsterdam, and later, on Long Island.
From certain affidavits and statements, made at various dates, of little interest in them-
selves, and from appearing as a witness, it would seem that Adam Mott was a resident of Man-
hattan, in 1643, 1644, 1645, 1646, 1647 and 1648.
1646, Aug. 23. He owned a patent of land of twenty-five morgens size, at Mespath Kill,
(Bushwick, L. I.), but by Jan. 7, 1653, he had parted with it, for on that date, Claude Barbier
and Anthony Jeroe conveyed this tract of land, with the buildings thereon, to Jacob Steendara.
1657, Mch. 17. Adam Mott was one of the "townsmen" for Hempstead.
1663-4, Feb. 24. Adam Mott, Capt. John Underbill and David Denton signed, for the
English settlers, an agreement with the Dutch government.
O'Callaghan's New Netherlands, Vol. ii, p. 578.
1681-2, Mch. 12. Will of Adam Mott, being aged about sixty or thereabouts, very sick,
etc., mentioned:
Eldest son, Adam, fifty acres in land, yet to be taken up, and five shillings in money.
Son, James, two cows, and land.
Daughter, Grace, four great pewter platters, and lands.
Son, John, meadow and lands.
Son, Joseph, lands.
Son, Gershom, five cows.
Son, Henry, three cows and two heifers.
Wife, Elizabeth, and the children he had by her, the house and certain lands in Hempstead, with par-
ticular provision for his youngest son, Adam.
In the codicil, he mentioned: "Henry's three children."

1689 [1690], May 10. It was proved, by the witnesses, before Thomas Hicks, Daniel White-
head and John Cornwell, magistrates; at the Court of Sessions, Queen's County, Apr. 8, 1690; at
New York, before Gov. Leisler, May 12, 1690, when letters of administration were issued to

still again, before Gov. Ingoldsby, at Fort William Henry, Oct. 30, 1691, when letters were
issued to Elizabeth, his widow, and Adam Mott, his eldest son.

In the Census, 1698, of Hempstead, appear in a group Mary Anne Mott, Elizabeth Mott,
William Mott, Adam Mott.
John Richbell, of Marmaroneck, N. Y., had an only brother, Robert Richbell, who resided at South-
ampton, England, and who became his heir-at-law. This Robert Richbell had a son, Edward Richbell, Esq.,
late of the City of Westminster, who in turn had an eldest son and heir, Edward Richbell, of the Parish of
St. James, in the County of Middlesex. This last mentioned Edward Richbell, on the 8th of Feb., 1722, for
£380, released to the Palmer family, as heir to his great-uncle, John Richbell, all his reversionary interests in
the Middle Neck, in Marmaroneck, and, on the 12th and 13th of Aug., 1723, he likewise released, for
£400, all his reversionary interests in the West Neck, and the remaining Richbell lands, unto Eve, wife of
Jacobus Van Cortlandt, and daughter of Frederick Philipse, which lands had been mortgaged, by John
Richbell, in his lifetime, with certain reservations.
1648. Of John Richbell it is known that he was in Charlestown, Mass., at this time. (Savage.)
1656, Aug. 8. He owed the estate of Robert Gibson, of Boston, Mass., £36, as appears in the Inventory
of that person's effects.
1657, Sept. 18. He made an agreement with Thomas Modiford, of Barbadoes, and William Sharpe, of
Southampton, England, merchants, to establish a plantation for the carrying on of trade "in the southwest
ports, of New England, in behalf of himself and of subscribers," who were Modiford and Sharpe.
MOTT OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY 73
1660, Sept. 5. He went to Oyster Bay, L. I., and bought the land now known as Lloyd's Neck; also land at
Matinecock, over which he had a controversy with his Oyster Bay neighbors, which was settled in his favor.
1 66 1. He appears on the Southampton records as a witness to a mortgage.
1661, Sept. 23. He bought lands from the Indians, at Marmaroneck, over which he had a controversy
with Thomas Revell, but was sustained by Stuyvesant and his Council, who issued him a patent for the same,
in May, 1662. Upon the overthrow of the Dutch, he recorded the evidence upon which he based his title,
strengthening it by a supplemental Indian deed, dated June 6, 1666, confirming that of 1661, and later received
an English patent for the same, dated Oct. 16, 1668.
1662. He was Constable of Oyster Bay.
1664, July 23. He was addressed, at Boston, (where he was probably temporarily), by Robert Carr and
Samuel Mavericke, two of the Commissioners of the Duke of York, in the expedition to subjugate the New
Netherlands, who instructed him to make haste to his Long Island habitation and acquaint those favorably
disposed to his Majestie's service, to be in readiness for their prompt arrival, and, at the same time issuing a
warrant for Mr. Richbell "to presse a horse if occasion should bee, hee pajang for the hire."
John Richbell, like others of his family, was a merchant. He was a man of superior social position, and
commonly addressed as Mr. Richbell. His wife, Ann, was the widow Redman and daughter of Margery
Parsons, who advanced him goods in the Island of St. Christopher, in the West Indies, long before his arrival
at Marmaroneck. On the 14th of Nov., 1668, he cancelled this obligation by deeding her the entire East Neck,
and she, Mrs. Parsons, two days later, conveyed this land to her daughter, Ann, wife of John Richbell, as a
token of affection and dutiful behavior. To establish her title to this land more fully, her husband, John
Richbell, on the 23'''* of April, 1669, in consideration of a marriage long since solemnized between them, made a
settlement of this land upon her, in a deed of trust to John Ryder. He had apparently no issue.
1684, July 26. John Richbell died, and his wife, who had become vested, in fee, by conveyances from her
husband and mother, of the entire East Neck, extending back from the Sound twenty miles, conveyed, 1684,
Aug. 8, to her daughter, Mary, and her husband, Capt. James Mott, about thirty acres of this tract.
1697, Dec. 23. Mrs. Richbell conveyed the balance of this estate, inherited from her husband, to Col.
Caleb Heathcote, for £600.
1700, Apr. I. Will of Ann Richbell, of Marmaroneck, "Gentlewoman"; proved Feb. 19, 1700-01, in which
she ordered a "decent and comely" burial for her body, at the discretion of her executors, Col. Caleb Heathcote,
Mr. Richbell Mott and Lieut. John Horton, and bequeathed:
To her son-in-law, James Mott, £10.
To his son, James Mott, Jr., £15.
To grand-daughters, Ann Gedney, Mary Williams and Mary Mott, each, £40, and a gold ring.
To her daughter, Elizabeth, £80, and her gold ring with an emerald stone in it.
To her daughter, Annie, £60, and a gold chain.
To the rest of her grandchildren, by my two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, who are not, however,
named, £10.
To "my two grand-daughters, Jane and Grace, and my grand-children, James and Adam Mott."
Her daughter, Mary Mott, I infer was dead when she wrote her will in 1700. All her legatees were to be
paid before her grandson, Adam Mott, received his portion, "because their necessities are greater."
John Richbell, his wife's mother, and his wife's daughter, Mary Mott, were buried in a field adjoining the
house of Lieut. James Mott, as appears by an entry in the Town Book, set forth more fully under James
Mott, 3. Here too, doubtless, Ann, John Richbell's widow, was also interred.
Of her children, it is known that Elizabeth Redman became the third wife of the first Adam Mott; that
Mary Redman became the first wife of Lieut. James Mott, a son of the first Adam Mott, by his first wife,
Jane Hulet, hence it appears that father and son (Adam and James Mott), married sisters; Ann, the third
daughter, married John Emerson, of White River, Talbot Co., Md., and was probably the mother of the grand-
children Ann Gedney and Mary Williams.
2 ADAM MOTT, son of Adam Mott, i, called "my elder son Adam," was baptized, in
the Dutch Church, at New Amsterdam, Nov. 14, 1649; witnesses: Thomas Hall, Olof Ste-
phenszen Van Courtlant and Elsje Muijtiens, [AHce Newton, wife of Capt. Bryan Newton.]

Youngs and Carmans were also early settlers in Cape May. The following allusions may refer
to this Adam and his relatives:
1724, Nov. 18. Will of Thomas Mott, of Little Egg Harbor, Burlington Co., N. J., proved May

16 JANE MOTT, supposed daughter of Adam Mott, 2.
Richard Seaman, youngest son of Capt. John Seaman, of Hempstead, Long Island, was
bom about 1673-5, ^^^ died Sept. 5, 1749. He married, about 1693-4, Jane, (probably daugh-
ter of Adam Mott). They had fourteen children, given, collectively, in his will, and in the
Records of the Society of Friends, printed in New York Geneal. and Biog. Record, Janua-iy, 1873.
Among these children is one by name, Adam Seaman, which is suggestive, if not substan-
tiative, of a Mott alliance. Inasmuch as Adam Mott, the supposed father of this Jane, was
married, in 1678, to Mary Stillwell, and Richard, the eldest son of Richard Seaman and Jane,
his wife, was bom 31, iimo., 1694-5, it crowds the dates somewhat closely, and suggests that
Adam Mott, the elder son of the first Adam Mott, may have had an earlier wife than Mary
Stillwell, and it is worthy of note, that among the many children that Jane Mott (?) had by
Richard Seaman, the characteristic Christian names of the Stillwell family do not appear.
If we credit Adam Mott (the elder son Adam, of the first Adam Mott), with two wives, there
would be no difficulties in the way of these otherwise crowded dates. That Jane, the wife of
Richard Seaman, was a Mott is strengthened by the fact that her husband, Richard Seaman,
in his will, 1749, appoints, as one of his executors, his "cousin," Patrick Mott.
If Jane was the daughter of Adam Mott, then Patrick Mott, as the son of Lieut. John Mott,
was her cousin, and nephew (which in old records is called cousin), to her husband, Richard
Seaman, whose sister, Sarah, became the wife of this said Lieut. John Mott.
18 MARY MOTT, daughter of Adam Mott, 2.
1705, Mch. 5. Under this date there is recorded in the Calendar of EngUsh Colonial Manu-
scripts, in the State Library at Albany, N. Y., a memorandum of a letter written by H. Mott,
the Secretary, requesting a marriage license for his daughter, Mar}', with Solomon Samans.
This is an error and should read as follows:
hamfted 5 day of March 1705
M' sacatary s' be pleased to inform y' governor that i have given my consant that this barer Solomon

This same day a Ucense was granted to Solomon Simmons and Mary Mott to marry. He was probably,
nearly doubtless Solomon, son of Solomon, son of the first Capt. John Seaman, of Hempstead.

while its in my power — before I close this I will inform you how to direct me, for I take it for granted you will
write to me, when you have opportunity. Your letters will be a great comfort to me, while I live for which
reason, you won't I hope, neglect me — you'll give my love to Brother, sister and children, & remember me to
the Gentlemen I saw with you at prince town — Cousin Joseph in particular also please to inform Mr James

I think I shall Begin soon to Catekise you if you thus neglect your friend, especially as I understand by

what may be the consequence of such delays. Let it be upon Politics, or what else you ought to send it espress,

Because I think there is some uneasiness in the lower part of her fabrick, so that the * * * Peace Maker's

*This genealogy of the Motts is not claimed to be an exhaustive account of the family, but simply an outline. The following
works may be consulted, more thoroughly and advantageously, for data concerning the Mott family:
(i) Mott Ancestry by Thomas C. Cornell, who made an extensive contribution to the Mott genealogy, but who erred in his ar-
rangement of the children of the first Adam Mott, and in his elimination of the daughter, Elizabeth. He particularly follows the lines
of Richbell, Adam, William and Charles, sons of Adam Mott, the first, by his wife, Elizabeth Richbell; (2) Descent of Major Gen-
eral Mott, of New Jersey, by Miss Kate A. Mott, in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, April, 1894, who likewise
has made a valuable contribution to the Mott genealogy, but who errs in giving the marriage of the first Gershon Mott to a Bowne,
citing Salter's History of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, as authority; (3) Clute's History of Staten Island, which gives a few facts
concerning Adam Mott, of the third generation; (4) Bolton's History of Westchester; ist Edition, which is largely wrong; (s)
Thompson's History of L,ong Island, ist Edition, Vol. ii, p. 57, which is wrong to an amazing degree, save, perhaps, in the allusions to
William Mott and his posterity; (6) New York and New Jersey Wills, Deeds, etc.; (7) Records of the Town of Westchester, at the
County Court House, White Plains, N. Y., for the descendants of Richbell, and, perhaps, James Mott. Also Town Record of
Mamaroneck; (8) Records of the Society of Friends, and other data published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical
Record; (9) Jacob T. Bowne, of Springfield, Mass., who has for many years been actively investigating this family's history; (10)
Printed Records of the Town of Hempstead; (11) Austin's Rhode Island Genealogical Dictionary, which gives the descendants of
Adam Mott and Nathaniel Mott, of Rhode Island; (12) Thurston Genealogy, which gives accounts of the Rhode Island Motts;
(13) Livermore's History of Block Island, which alludes to, apparently, some of the descendants of Nathaniel Mott, of Rhode
Island; (14) Scharf's History of Westchester County, N. Y., Vol. i, pp. 830 and 876; (15) New York and New Jersey Marriage
Licenses; (16) Genealogy of The Cornell P'amily by Rev. John Cornell; (17) Manuscript History of the Mott Family by Edward
Doubleday Harris, of New York City. The work of Mr. Harris is so exact and so e.xhaustive that had I have known of its existence
I would never have printed my notes on the Mott Family. Should his Mott history not be published I understand the manuscript
will ultimately pass to the New York Gen. & Biog. Society. To him I owe most of the interesting data that relates to the children
of Adam Mott, 15.

MOUNT
MONMOUTH COUNTY
GEORGE MOUNT was bom, by deduction, about 1635, and was the first of the name to
settle in Monmouth County, where he was one of the "Associates" in the purchase of the Mon-
mouth Tract in 1665-7. He was, doubtless, an Enghshman, but I am unaware that there is
any knowledge extant concerning his origin or his kinspeople. It has been asserted that George
Mount came first to Salem, Mass., about 1636, thence to Gravesend, Long Island, which was
settled in 1643-4, and later to Middletown, N. J., which was settled in 1665-7. Assuming that
his supposititious birth date, 1635, is correct, this migration seems unlikely, for he would have
been very much of a child in 1636, and in need of a parent, and still too young to have been
a settler of Gravesend. That he may have come to New Jersey from Rhode Island, which fur-
nished the Monmouth Tract with so many of its early settlers, is most likely, but nothing that
I know sheds any light on his personal history previous to his appearing in Middletown, N. J.
In 1672, George Mount's name was coupled together mth Benjamin Borden in the purchase
of lands from the Indians at Middletown, and again, in 1676, the same individuals, George
Mount and Benjamin Borden, received patents for lands adjacent to each other in Cohansey,
West Jersey. This intimate association raised a hope in the- minds of some that the maiden
name of the wife, or the mother of George Movmt, was perhaps Borden, but a study of the wills
of Matthew Borden, of Hedcom, England, and his two emigrating sons, Richard and John, elimi-
nates any such conclusion, and we are forced to decide that the intimate relations of Mount and
Borden were based upon friendship and not kinship. Further it might be well here to eliminate
another suggestion, that George Mount married a sister of Abigail Grover, wife of Benjamin
Borden, but this, too, falls to the ground when an analysis of the known Grover history is made.
Upon his advent in Middletown, George Mount received in the first division of lands, Dec.
30 and 31, 1667, the town lot No. 10, and the outlying lot No. 19.
1688, Apr. 22. George Mount was one of the two Deputies chosen to the General Assembly
to be held at Portland Point, and, July 20, 1669, he was re-elected.
He likewise filled the positions of Juryman, Town Overseer and Surveyor.
He is alluded to in deeds as a blacksmith, which in those days, meant a worker in iron, and
in such an avocation, many of the artists and artisans of mediteval times have created lasting
monuments of great beauty. There was little call, however, for a display of much talent, in
the early days of Middletown, but we can readily see George Mount fashioning the iron work of
112 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY

valuable than he in such an environment.
1688. George Mount was one of the Constituent Members of the Baptist Church of
Middletown. Edwards.
1698, Apr. 13. George Moimt conveyed to his son, Richard Mount, one hundred and
eighty-five acres of land, in Middletown township, which, in 17 10, formed part of the two
hundred acres of land which Richard Mount sold to Eden Burrowes, and inasmuch as Richard
Mount is not mentioned in his father's will, this land probably represented his interest in his
father's estate and the gift cut him off as heir-at-law.
George Mount presumably married about 1660.
1702-3, Feb. 16. he made his will; proved Aug. 31, 1705, and mentioned his wife, Kathe-
rine; daughter Katherine; grandsons, Matthias and Thomas, sons of his deceased son, Matthias.
1705, Sept. 18. Inventory of George Mount's estate was made by Richard Stout and
James Cox, at Middletown, and proved by James Cox, appraiser.

cousin, because John Mount, son of Richard Mount, 4, had a wife Mary, bom in 1694, according
to a Bible record, and he named his, apparently eldest, son, Matthias.

4 RICHARD MOUNT, son of George Mount, i, was born probably about 1665-6.
He resided, first, at Middletown, then at Cranbury.
1694, Aug. 8. He recorded his cattle-mark in Middletown.
1703, Mch. 28. Richard Mount, of Middletown, was alluded to as son and heir to George
Mount, of the same place, late deceased. He made his mark to documents.
About 1 7 10, Eden, the son of Edward Burrowes, of Jamaica, Long Island, came to Middle-
town. What occasioned his friendly separation from his kinspeople and the selection of a new
place of abode would now be mere speculation, but the fact that he took over all the lands of
Richard Mount and that he had a daughter Rebecca, whose name conforms to the name Re-
becca, the wife of Richard Mount, raises the suspicion that Rachel, the heretofore uniden-
tified wife of Eden Burrowes, possibly may have been a daughter of Richard Mount.
The deed that conveyed the land from Richard Mount to Eden Burrowes, and which was
dated Mch. 13, 1710, and recorded Apr. 24, 1827, recited that Richard Mount was a yeoman,
of Middletown ; that the consideration was £200, and that the lands were : (i) Seventy-six acres in
Middletown, on the South side of Mill Brook, thence * * * adjoining Thomas Cox * * * to South
side of Layton's line. Bounded West by Thomas Cox, Southeast and North by land of ye said
Layton; (2) a tract of land of one hundred acres, adjoining Safety Grover; (3) a tract of nine
acres, at Poplar Field, bounded East by John Smith, South by Mill Run, North by William
Layton, West by a small brook, "being ye same which George Mount, ye father of ye said
Richard Mount, late purchased of Richard Hartshorne"; (4) six acres of meadow at Shoal
Harbor, bounded North by Sarah Reape, and South by Richard Hartshorne; (5) nine acres
of salt meadow, at Waycake, bounded North by the Bay, West by Richard Gibbins, East by
John Bowne. All to be two hundred acres. Witnessed by W. Laurie, Benjamin Laurie and
William Lawrence, Jr. By this transfer he completely divested himself of his Middletown
lands and forthwith removed to Cranbury, Middlesex County.
1711, Mch. 12. Richard Mount, of Middlesex, yeoman, conveyed to "my son, Richard
Mount, Jr., of the same place," two hundred acres, at Cranbury, adjoining Thomas Morford,
bounded on the West by ' 'land intended for my son George Mount.' ' Signed by Richard and
Rebecca Mount, both by their marks.
1 71 7, Mch. 23. Richard Mount, of Cranbury, in the city of Perth Amboy, yeoman, and
Rebecca, his wife, made a conveyance to Joseph Dennis, cooper.
1723, Jan. 25. Richard Mount, Sr., of Middlesex, and Rebecca, his wife, for £200, con-
veyed to Humphrey Mount, yeoman, two hundred acres, on the South side of Cranberry
Brook, adjoining Richard Mount, Jr.'s, land. Witnessed by Matthias Mount, (who acknow-
ledged the same May 15, 1774), and Joseph Britton, first of whom was, doubtless, his son, and
the second, in all likelihood, his son-in-law.
Richard Mount married, prior to 1687, Rebecca Wall, as appears in the Court Records,
of that date, at Freehold, N. J., Lib. B., for Garret Wall gave evidence concerning the mare
he gave to his sister Rebecca, Richard Moimt's wife. See Wall Family.

Extract from letter written by Samuel J. Cox to his uncle, Benjamin Cox, March 4, 1867: "Mary
Mount, who married Joseph Cox, of Upper Freehold, Monmouth County, N. J., was born May 31, 1715,
whose father was Thomas Mount, of Shrewsbury Township. Joseph Cox, who married Mary Mount, lived
not far from Imlaytown. Joseph and Mary were my grand-parents. I remember them well, being past eleven
years old when they died. Joseph Cox, from my recollection of him and from all I have ever heard, was a
farmer in easy circumstances, of unblemished character, strong mind and highly respected in the commimity
where he Uved. He was a very old man at my first recollection, of fine, venerable appearance. My grand-
mother was in no way inferior to him. Both of them were remarkably calculated to inspire respect from all
who approached them. There was scarcely any symptom of childishness about either of them, notwithstand-
ing their great age. My grandmother was remarkable for her fine form and countenance, even in her old age,
and in her earlier years must have been beautiful. They occupied one end of their large old house, while my
father and his numerous family occupied the other part. When I was a little boy I spent many a pleasant hour
in their rooms. They were very kind to me and were very fond of having me sing hymns to them."

1726. Richard Mount, Jr., sold five hundred acres, in Freehold, of the land he had bought
from the Dockwra heirs the year preceding, to Joseph Holeman.
He is alluded to as cordwainer, distiller and gentleman. He apparently married three
times: first, about 1715-18, Rebecca ; second, supposed, Rachel, daughter of John and
Mary Cox; third, Elizabeth Seabrook, born 1711; died Mch. 16, 1791, who married, first,

Perth Amboy.
*While George Mount, i, made allusion to only two sons of his deceased son, Matthias Mount, 3, viz., Matthias Mount, 5,
and Thomas Mount, 6, this would not exclude the existence of another son who need not of necessity have been mentioned and for
whom provision would have been made by the law of primogeniture. If this is conceded, it might follow that John Mount, 9, called
a son of Richard Mount, 4, was a son of Matthias Mount, 3, which has in favor of it the fact that John Mount, 9, called his, appar-
ently eldest son, Matthias.
The Bible from which the references to John Mount , 9, and his family are taken, contains the following : " Record of old Mount
Family Bible, bought by Thomas Mount in 1763." John Mount was either brother or cousin to Thomas Mount, the owner of the
Bible, and it remains to be explained why his family record should appear in a Bible other than his own.

It has been suggested that he married a Britton, as he named a son this name. But should

It is Ukely Humphrey Mount had other children than those given above, for he was estab-

father of Nisbit Mount, who married, in 1744, Mary Hay. That Humphrey Mount married
twice is likely, and that one of his wives was a Nisbit, is more than probable. The Nisbits

54 Joseph Mount. There may have been a son Joseph in this famUy, but proof that
there was is lacking. It may be that he is added to the list of children solely
because there was a Joseph Moimt on the subscription Ust of 1758, together with
the names of the brothers, John, Humphrey and Matthias, Jr., and that of
Hezekiah Mount.
1760, May 23. Joseph Mount was a witness to a deed given by John Moimt, of
Middletown, and it may be that he was identical with this supposed son of
Matthias. Yet there may have been two of the same name, one of Middle-
town and one of Cranbury. He of Middletown, had a license to marry,
Mch. 7, 1 76 1, with Anne Still well.
12a ANN MOUNT, supposed daughter of Richard Mount, 4, was the Ann Mount who
married, Apr. 5, 1714-15, in the Dutch Church, in New York City, Joseph Britain. She must,
therefore, have been born about 1695 to have been twenty years of age at the time of her
marriage, and would, consequently, belong to this generation, as a child of either Matthias
or Richard Mount, and a grandchild of George Mount, the First.
As Humphrey Mount, 11, names a child Britton, baptized June 2, 1731, and as the name
of Joseph Britton appears as a witness on the deed, Jan. 25, 1723, from Richard Mount, Sr., 4,
of Middlesex, and Rebecca, his wife, to Humphrey Mount, 11, this association of facts and names
makes it practically certain that Ann was the daughter of Richard Mount, 4, and wife of
Joseph Britton.

17 GEORGE MOUNT, son of Matthias Mount, 5, married Audrey WooUey, by license
dated Mch. 4, 1748-9, and attached thereto is: Feb. 20, 1748-9, Hannah Lippincott consents to
marriage of her daughter, Adria to George Mount; both of Monmouth. This mother-in-law
of George Mount was Hannah Cook who married Bartholomew WooUey prior to 17 14-15,
for in that year they were witnesses to the wiU of Joseph West. Upon the death of her husband,
WooUey, she married, 10, 12, 1740, Thomas Lippincott, who left a wiU dated 1760, and she
outhving him, left a wiU dated Feb. 17, 1772, wherein she mentioned her grand-daughter,
Margaret Mount.
George Mount, 17, I beUeve had an earlier wife than Audrey WooUey. A comparison of
his signatures, on his hcense to marry Audrey WooUey and on his wUl, estabUshes the fact that
he married Amy Chambers, by license dated Jan. 18, 1744-5, and that he was also the surety
on the marriage Ucense of John Mount, 33, dated Feb. 8, 1748.
1757, Aug. 14. He made his wiU; proved Apr. 17, 1760, in which he styled himself as of
Middletown. Thomas Mount qualified as executor at the date of probate, Joseph Mount,
May 19, 1760, and John Mount, Jr., Aug. 13, 1760. He mentioned his wife, Ordery, and two
sons and a daughter without names.
FoUowing his demise, his widow, Audery Mount, married, by Ucense dated Mch. 27, 1760,
John Chasey, with John Mount, 33, as surety.
The name of his daughter is estabUshed as Margaret, through the wiU of her grandmother,
Hannah (Cook- WooUey) Lippincott, wherein she is called her grand-daughter Margaret Mount.
I suspect the two sons mentioned without names were Timothy Mount, (named after
a brother of George), who married Deborah Winter, and Matthias Mount, (named after his
paternal grandfather), who married Martha StUlweU.
Issue
62 Timothy (?) Mount. Timothy Mount was of Howell, and died, leaving a will
dated Jan. 29, 1802; proved Feb. 12, 1802. He married Deborah Winter and
had a daughter, Mary, who married a Covenhoven. See Winter family.
63 Matthias (?) Mount
64 Margaret Mount
18 MATTHIAS MOUNT, son of Matthias Mount, 5, was, by deduction, doubtless the
son of Matthias Mount, for in a Bible, in the possession of Timothy M. Maxson, Navesink, N. J.,
there is a record that Timothy Mount, 65, was a son of Matthias and Mary Mount, and was
born Dec. 19, 1784. And he says that the said Timothy was born in a house on a farm, part
of which now comprises Fairview Cemetery. The names, Timothy, Joseph and Margaret,
transmitted in this famUy, and living in Middletown, make it almost absolutely certain that
Matthias Mount could have belonged nowhere else than as here placed, and as named after
his father.
Matthias Mount, 18, married Mary , widow of Obadiah StiUweU, who died in
the Sugar House, 1777. She died July, 1792. She had issue by both of her husbands. By
her first husband she had: Rebecca StiUweU, who married John Davis, and went West; Eliza-

He was ruling elder of the Cranbur>' Presbyterian Church, from Dec. 12, 1792, to his death.
Symes' History of Old Tennent, page 452, says he was born 1729, but his tombstone says,
plainly, that he died Dec. 21, 1807, in the 73'''* year of his age, hence born in 1735 or 1736, and
not in 1729. Statements have been made that Matthias, a son of Humphrey Moimt, was
baptized in 1729, in Old Tennent, but no such record as that either in name, date or parentage,
can be found there. The location of the graves, in Cranbury Yard, shows, almost unmistakably,

and eight daughters, in 1787, when his son, Matthias Mount, and Joseph Disbrow were made
administrators of his estate. These same individuals were also made guardians of his children,

been the daughter of Richard Mount, 48, and named after his mother.

George Mount, like his father, John Mount, and his brother, John Mount, was a Loyalist,
and all three were attainted.
1784, Feb. 10. George Mount, late of Middletown, was the son of John Mount, who was attainted.
The father, [John Mount], was murdered by the Rebels, leaving a widow and a large family of children. The
Memorialist is his eldest son and heir-at-law. His farm was about three miles from Middletown, and near the
Shrewsbury River. Evidence given by John Mount, (produces conveyances from his elder brother, of aU rights,
and a letter of attorney), second son of said John Mount, who was shot in September, 1779, says, he, John, now
the claimant, is now twenty-two years of age, and lived with his mother until sixteen, when the Americans
wanted him to join their army, on which he went off and joined the British Army in 1780. His father, [John
Mount], owned two hundred acres, in Middletown, which came to him from his father; his father had owned
it thirty-one years. He left a widow, who is now in possession of part of the house. He left three sons and three
daughters. The claimant is the second son; Matthias is the third son; eldest sister, Chloe Thain, is now
living in St. John; second sister, Sarah Pentar, is in the States; third sister, Oria Mount, is now with her
mother. Witness: Captain Tilton, being sworn, testifies that George is the eldest son; knew second son,
John, whom the Americans wanted to serve at the age of sixteen. George Mount, eldest son and heir of John
Mount, arrived in New Brunswick, in June, 1787, with wife and two children. American Loyalists MS., in
Lenox Library, New York, Vol. 16, p. 171.
His father was Master of a schooner in the Government's service; died without a will; stayed in New
York until the evacuation ; his wife was ill, and died about six months afterwards ; his mother is living. Idem,

There was a Moses Mount, of Monmouth County, who married Lydia Bills, in 1739, and

doubt, if any, that this Hne belongs in George Mount's family, for, to quote Paul W. Mount,
in the Newark, N. J., News, "the late Samuel Mount Schenck, Esq., mentions in his notes on
the Mount family, that his mother, both of whose parents were Mounts, and direct descendants
of George Mount, referred to Moses Mount, the son, who kept the hotel at Mount's Corner,
now West Freehold, as having been a distant relative, but said ' she did not like to acknowledge
it, as she did not countenance the business of the hotel.' Pretty hard on Moses, but as he had
been an aide of General Washington, we can afford to feel charitable toward him. Mr. Schenck
mentions, also, that this Moses Mount was a lover of fast horses and a great rider of race
horses."
146 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
"Another old Mount trait, more commendable, perhaps, is foimd in connection ^\dth Nisbet
Mount, previously referred to, who donated land in Manasquan, for a house of PubUc Worship,
which, as deed expresses it, 'is to be free for all denominations professing Christians to worship
Almighty God therein according to tne dictates of their own conscience who are of good stand-
ing and moral character.' This exhibited a broad-mindedness and tolerant spirit in rather a
marked contrast to a unique church edict affecting another Mount, which I found in the
Hightstown Baptist Church records. It reads: 'Richard Mount Excluded from Communion
and Church Fellowship for non-attendance and keeping bad company joined the Presby-
terians!'"
In printing the Mount genealogy I am content to give the first six generations, as my in-
terest invariably wanes as I recede from the founder of a family and his immediate descendants;
then again it becomes the legitimate province of some of the Mount blood to follow the lines to
the present time, rather than it should fall to a student of many families. I understand that
this will be the case, for Mr. Paul W. Mount is employing his facile pen to such an end. To
his contributions to the Newark (N. J.) News, as well as to the communications of Mr. J. R.
Mount, in the same sheet, I am much indebted; and above all would I recognize my obliga-
tions to my late esteemed friend, the Rev. William White Hance, whose industry was as great
as his work was accurate, and who was a helpful friend for many years.

Will of Sir William Ogborne, dated Oct. 5, and proved Oct. 23, 1734, in which he men-
tions himself as "Kn\ Citizen and Carpenter" of Rosemary Lane, Parish of St. Mary, White
Chapel, County of Middlesex, and makes the following bequests:
The freehold property, in Cheapside and Lawrence Lane, in occupancy, and an empty
house adjoining, he gives to his wife Dame Joyce, and also the residence, in Rosemary Lane,
during her lifetime, she paying £20, in half-yearly payments, to his Grandson, Ogborne
Churchill.
Upon his wife's demise, these properties are given to his Grandson, Ogborne Churchill and
Grand-daughter, Sarah Churchill, equally. In case both die before twenty-one years of age
and leave no heirs, then these properties are to be equally divided between St. Thomas' Hospital,
Southwark, County of Surrey, and The Carpenters' Guild, of London, for the benefit of their
poor.
The testator also gave to his wife his coach, his chariot horses, plate, hay, corn, etc. He
owned many houses leased to many individuals.
To his sister, Mary Bedson, of Tower St., London, widow, he gave the other three mes-
suages in Rosemary Lane, in occupancy. These properties at her decease to his Grandson, Og-
borne Churchill and Grand-daughter, Sarah Churchill, who were his chief legatees, and in case
of no issue to either of the grandchildren, the properties to St. Thomas' Hospital and The Car-
penters' Guild, as mentioned above.
To his wife Joyce one-third of his personal estate, as widow's thirds, and one-third "to
my daughter, Mary Churchill," and the remaining one-third to his widow Joyce.
To his Grandson, Richard Churchill, £200, as he, being the eldest son of his father and
mother, was amply provided for as heir of his parents in their marriage settlement.
To Walter Coleman, his son-in-law, Woolen Draper, of Black Fryerres, London, £200.
To the Poor of Trinity House, £100.
To the Poor Quakers, of RatcUffe Meeting, £20, to be distributed by his son-in-law, Walter
Coleman, and his wife. Dame Joyce.

Witnesses: J"° Martin, Sam" Troughton and Hudson Tastolf [or Tastotf].
His widow, Dame Joyce, died about ten years later, and was mentioned in her will as of
Greenwich, Kent County, England. She was doubtless a second mfe for she mentions none of
his legatees, except "Sister Mary Bedson." She willed her estate to her kinspeople, females,
by the names of Williams, Clopton and Searles, and the residue of her estate to her nephew,
William Singleton, of St. Christophers, West Indies. She made many bequests of good size
to friends and servants.
" Mr. Deputy Merry of Southwark was educated in this school [i. e. the Charity School] in grateful remem-
brance of which he has left to it the reversion of property amounting to 2oo£ a year after the death of Mr.
Ogborn, stationer in Bishopsgate street." "Mr. Merry also left to the school the reversion of 45oo£ Three
per cent Consols after the decease of three persons named in his will and iooo£ South Sea Annuities. "

In New Jersey the name was favorably known through the State for many years, especially
in the vicinity of Middletown, but now, save in its application to the site of an old homestead,
"Annie Ogborne's Corners," on the road between Middletown and Holmdel, it is extinct.
In 1900, even this name is lost, for to this locality the name on the sign-board and in EUis'
History has been corrupted to Ogden.
The Ogbornes were socially a prominent family, but, with few exceptions, held no political
positions. Through the female side of the house have descended the late Amos R. Manning,
Esq., of the Supreme Court of Alabama; the Hon. Edward Scudder, of the Supreme Court of
New Jersey; Prof. John Stillwell Schenck, of Princeton College; the Drs. Stillwell, of New York
City; Ex-Governor Bedle, of New Jersey; the Taylors, of Middletown, N. J., and others.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
The name Ogborne has been variously spelled Ogbom, Ogbourne and Ogburn.
There was a noted English engraver of this name in 1788.
Mrs. William Van Tine, the Tunis family, at Eatontown, N. J., and John Walton, of Tom's
River, N. J., could give additional information about the Monmouth County Ogbornes.

his sister, Mary Ogborn, by WiUiam Burnet, Esq., the Governor.

1729, Sept. II. Anne Ogburn, of Burlington, licensed to marry Benjamin Butterworth.
The similarity of the names Osborn and Ogborn occasions confusion and creates doubt as
to certain individuals:
1754. Samuel Osborn, of Shrewsbury, made his will. In it he mentioned his eldest daugh-
ter, Alice Longstreet.
1759. The estate of William Osburn, of Shrewsbury, was inventoried, and among the ap-
praisers was Samuel Osburn. The deceased left a large estate.

1765. The inventory of the estate of Ann Ogborn, widow, deceased, so written inside, is
endorsed: "Inventory of Ann Osborne, of Monmouth Co. Filed 1765," and amounted to
about £50, and included:
"to a silver tankard. Two silver spoons £10-0-0."
Samuel Longstreet appeared as an executor, and Thomas Bell and Samuel Ogborn, as
appraisers. I feel certain that she was an Osbom and not an Ogborne.

Twelve other children, six of whom are now living, in 1900.
The foregoing line is compiled from information contained in the letter of C. H. Ogborn,
Esq., of Kingman, Kansas, dated July 26, 1900, to the Rev. W. N. Ogborn, of Hammonton,
N. J., and some additions of my own.
Mr. Ogborn further states:
"There is a tradition in the family that the Ogborns were formerly very wealthy potters, in Wales, and
drifted from there into England, from whence they were driven, being Quakers, by the persecutions of those
good people and that they settled in New Jersey, in 1684. Of this, except that they really were Quakers, I do
not know.
If this information proves of interest to you I could give you considerable of information in regard to the
younger branches of the family.
I presume all the Ogborns in America are related though a great many generations removed.
There is one branch of the family spelling their name— 'Ogburn,' which settled, in the Southern states,
long, long ago, coming from England.
Do you know anything of the Ogborns prior to their coming to America?
There are two places named in the Universal Postal Union Directory called ' Ogbourne ' — I believe in
England— I can find them for you. Perhaps these places were named for some ancient ancestor of ours."

SALTER
OF
MONMOUTH COUNTY
The Salter family may justly lay claim to considerable antiquity. In the reign of Henry VI,
temp. 1423, there lived one, William Salter, who was possessed of good estate and whose an-
cestors had resided at and were the Lords, for over two hundred years, of a manor called
Bokenhamis, in England.
Walter Salter lived in the time of Richard III, temp. 1482. At the upper end of the South
aisle, in the church of Tottengen, in the County of Norfolk, there is erected to himself and
lady, a tablet with the following inscription :
"Orate pro animabus
Walter Salter et Alice uxoris ejus
Et pro quibus tenentus. "
"Pray for the souls of Walter Salter
And Alice his wife, and for the
Souls of all that belong to them."
1524. Henry Salter was one of the Sheriffs of Norwich, England.
1600. Henry Baldwin, in his will, mentions his wife, Alice; his daughter, Mary Baldwui,
who married Richard Salter, and had children; and his daughter, Agnes Baldwin, who was
baptized 1579. Baldwin Genealogy, p. 988.
1598, Jan. 30. Mary, the daughter of Henry Baldwin, married, at Aston Clinton, County
of Berks, England, Richard Salter.
In 1622, Alice Baldwin left £10 to "my daughter, Mary Salter"; 40 shillings to each of
her seven grandchildren, and created Richard Salter and Richard Baldwin, executors.
1632, Feb. 18. Richard Baldwin, in his will of this date, left £10 to his sister, Mary
Salter, and a like amount to each of her four children, Mary Salter, John Salter, Sarah Salter
and David Salter.
1669, Apr. II. David Salter, the last named, made his will on this date, creating his wife
sole legatee.
1618. William Salter was a resident of Devon, England.
1655. John Salter was Mayor, of Norwich, England.
176
SALTER OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 177
1663. The charter of the said city of Norwich was renewed by Charles II, and John Salter
was one of the twenty-four Aldermen, who were appointed.
He died, the 20th of Nov., 1669, aged 77 years, and was buried in the church of
St. Andrew.
1670. Bridget, the wife of Matthew Salter, died, Dec. 31, aged 42 years. She was interred
in the church of St. Ethelred, and from her tomb is copied the following quaint epitaph :
"Tho' dead, yet dear,
Tho' dead, yet dear to me,
Dead is her body.
Dear her memorie. "
It is doubtless from some of the foregoing persons that the Salters in this country are
descended. If Mrs. Bridget Salter, last above mentioned, was, as is positively asserted, the
mother of twenty-two children, it was no wonder that some of them wanted to leave.
1734. The Rev. Samuel Salter was Archdeacon, of Norfolk; also Prebendary, of Norfolk;
Rector, of Bramerton [?], and Curate of the Parishes of St. George and St. Andrew, in the
same city, England.
In England, at the present day, the name is still met with, especially in the vicinity of
Norfolk and Devon.
In America there are several distinct families of the name whose arrivals date back to the
latter part of the Seventeenth Century. In what degree of relationship, if any, their progenitors
stood, it is now impossible to ascertain.
The descendants of John Salter, who came from Exeter, Devonshire, England, and settled
at Odiorne's Point, New Hampshire, and the descendants of Richard Salter, the early settler
in Monmouth County, N. J., have been the most prominent in point of numbers, as well as
the most conspicuous in social and political life.
A family of the name, residing in North Carolina, during the Revolutionary War, con-
tributed a commissary to the army, and two members to the Provincial Congress: Robert
Salter, from Pitt County, 1775; Edward Salter, from Pitt County, and William Salter, from
Bladen County, delegates to the Provincial Congress, 1774, in North Carolina.
See Wheeler's Historical Sketches of North Carolina.
Another, residing in New York City, during the post-revolutionary period, was engaged
in mercantile pursuits, and was represented by Abraham Salter, who was born in New York
City, about 1785. In 1830, he was a merchant doing business in Pearl St., New York City.
He had a son, Albert, who married, and was the father of George W. Salter and W. H. Salter,
both attorneys-at-law; the former employed in the War Department, at Washington; the latter,
practicing in New York City.
In this family there is a tradition that, in olden times, they intermarried with the Dutch,
and that the first-comer came from Strasburg, and that some of the descendants, now living in
Paris, have changed the spelHng of the name to "Saltaire."
Thomas Salter, of New York City, who had a license to marry Mary O'Neil, granted
Mch. 2, 1756, may be a connection of this family.
In 1878, while the Rev. William Salter, of Burlington, Iowa, was traveling in Colorado,
he met the Rev. Charles C. Salter, who stated that his grandfather came to this country in
1794, from Tiverton, Devonshire, England.
In Rhode Island, Sampson Salter was admitted a Freeman, the 20'^'' of 2,^^ month, 1638 ; while
in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Will Salter was admitted to a similar position, May 26, 1636.
178 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
The latter individual was born in 1607; was the keeper of the Boston jail, and, being
able to write a good hand, frequently subscribed his name to the \A-ills and documents of his
fellow-townsmen. He died, Aug. 10, 1675, and was interred in the King's Chapel-yard. His
will made his wife, Mary, his executrix, and alluded to a son, John, " who has gone away, but if
he returns he shall have five acres of land." This son, John, was born 1651. He returned and
claimed his legac}', and it is recorded that he disposed of it, in person, in 1679, when he was
married and settled.
John and Henry Salter were enlisted, as soldiers, in King Philip's War.
Henry and Hannah Salter had a son, Richard, baptized in October, 1673.

John Salter, aged eighty years, was married, Oct. 9, 1720, by Rev. Tho' Foxcraft, of
Boston, to Abigail Durrant, which would make him born about 1640, and exclude him as the
son of William, if the birth date of William's son, John, is correctly given as 1651.
Thomas Salter, of Boston, died, Aug. 2, 1748, aged 62 years; buried in Woburn Burying-
ground.
Capt. Thos. Salter, of Port Royall, captured a Spanish vessel. He resided at Jamaica,
and was Commander of a private man-of-war. See proceedings of the Court of Admiralty

1675, July 9- Henry Salter, with his ^\nfe, Anna, obtained a patent of ten thousand acres,
in his Colony, wherein he is described as, of the Parish of St. Buttolph, without Bishopsgate,
London, silkman. The wording, "in his Colony," implies an existing residence here.
In 1677, both he and his wife had a Proprietary right.
In June, 1679, he had died, for reference is made, in a survey, to land in the ranges of
Monmouth River, adjoining Henr}- Salter, deceased. His residence and estate was largely
in Salem Count}-, and he was described as, merchant, of West Jersey. Upon his demise, his
widow took up a residence in Tacony, Pa., now part of the City of Philadelphia, and dealt
SALTER OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 179
extensively in lands. These she obtained, in part, from her husband, who owned J^ of 1/6 of
the i" Tenth of West Jersey; also a part of the 2"'^ Tenth. Her sales and purchases of lands
in Burlington, and Salem Counties, N. J., as taken from the Trenton Records, roughly com-
puted, amount to about four thousand acres, and she dealt, as well, in dwellings, mortgages
and cattle.
The New Jersey records further allude to her ownership of four hundred acres in Penn-
sylvania, and the Bucks County, Pa., records, speaking of her, in May, 1684, as of New Castle,
Pa., refer to a sale, by her, of one hundred acres, to Morgan De Wett. Doubtless additional
evidence of her holdings could be found in the Philadelphia Records. She is as frequenty
called, Anna, as Hannah Salter. She was li\'ing in 1687, for, April i, of that year, she sold one
thousand acres of land, in Salem County, and was joined in the conveyance by her son, John
Salter, but had died prior to Dec. 31, 1689, for then her executors confirmed this sale. They
continued, for some time after her demise, to sell her lands.
The New Jersey family, which solely interests us, became, very early, distinguished in the
history of the State, and for a long time remained prominent. Today, however, none can be
found within its borders, and in Freehold, and its vicinity, where once they clustered and were
powerful, they can hardly be traced.
The tradition, current in the family, states that shortly after the accession of Charles II
to the English throne, (probably in 1664), three of the younger sons of the family, endowed
with a handsome property, came to this country. They landed at or near Boston, where one
remained, while the other two moved thence to the State of New Jersd)^ Of these, one
settled in Salem County, and died without issue, leaving a considerable estate to his widow,
Hannah, who, upon her decease, left this property, situated in and about Philadelphia and
New Jersey, equally divided among her own and her husband's relatives.
RICHARD SALTAR, the youngest of the three, became the founder of the branch we are
about to follow.
From some caprice, he changed the spelling of his name from Salter to Saltar, which some
of his descendants still use, though many have lapsed into using the original orthography.
The names of the other two brothers and their parentage, are unknovm.
The statement that Richard Saltar, of New Jersey, came from Devonshire is an assumption,
and the use of arms, as they appear in Salter's History of Ocean County, was the outcome of a
strange chance, which threw an old law book in a second-hand shop, in Beekman St., New York
City, in the way of James Steen, Esq., of Eatontown, N. J., who purchased it. On its inside
cover appears the signature : " Rich"* Saltar," and a book plate containing arms. Thus it found
its way to Monmouth County, and unknown to Edwin Salter during his life, was utilized, subse-
quently, by his publisher, as a frontispiece. Of such misleading material is history often made.
The earliest date of Richard Saltar's appearance in Monmouth County, that I have found,
is 1687. It is probable, however, that his settlement there antedated it by some years, for he is
found, at that time, as a prominent and influential personage among his fellow-townsmen, a
position he could attain only by a long and tried association.
1695. Richard Saltar was elected a Member of the House of Deputies.
1696-7, Jan. II. He owned land at Wickatunck, a locaHty beyond Matawan, to which he
may have removed, for in a deed of land at this place, dated Aug. 18, 1698, he is alluded to as,
"Richard Salter having become a neighbor in place of D' Cox."
i8o HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
In 1697, Richard Saltar was residing at Freehold, N. J. It was in the vicinity of Upper
Freehold that his estates mainly lay, and his family lived. As late as 1793, Saltar's Dam, on
the main brook, in Freehold, is alluded to.
1697. Richard Saltar, of Freehold, was spoken of as, "King's Attorney."
1700. Some time prior to this date, he was in possession of the Baker Tract, at Upper
Freehold, purchased from George Willocks, upon which he built the mills, at Imlaystown.
This land passed to his son, Richard Salter, Jr., who sold the mill tract, in 1727, to Peter Salter,
Jr. Ellis' History of Monmouth County, p. 617.
1 701, Mch. 25. He was a witness to a commission issued in London by William Dockwra
to Charle.5 Goodman, of Perth Amboy, to be Deputy Secretary and Register, by which we can

on oath, before John Reid, 2^* of June, 17 14.
171 1. He was a Member of the Assembly for the Eastern Division of New Jersey.
Richard Saltar was a man of marked abihty, of high social standing, and a lawyer by
education. Through his talents, and the influence he may have acquired by his marriage, he
attained, and was able to hold, a leading position in the community. He was in sympathy
with the Middletown Patentees and their successors, and took a spirited part in opposing the
encroachments of the Proprietary Party. As counsel for the people, in which capacity he
seems to have been employed, he championed their rights both within and without the halls
of the Assembly, though he needed not the stimulus of identity of interests to defend so just a
cause. While acting in his professional capacity, he, and Capt. John Bowne, undertook to
raise money to defend the Patentee rights before Lord Cornbury, then Governor of the Province.
This provoked the ill will of the Proprietors, who charged them with committing felony, crime,
etc. Capt. Bowne, who was a Member of the House of Representatives, was brought up for
discipUne, but proving obdurate, was expelled. Lord Cornbury was also notified of their
displeasure in a lengthy phillipic, which provoked a rejoinder, in which he took occasion to
comment upon the illegality of this removal, and to deny the accusation that the money, thus
raised, had been conveyed to him for the purpose of dissolving the Assembly, that the people
might escape payment of the Proprietors' quit-rents. The impeachments were subsequently
proven to be false, and resulted merely from the intense party feeling then existing. Saltar
and Bowne represented the people, and were sustained by them in all their acts, despite the
criminations of the Proprietary Party.
To estimate the character and services of Richard Saltar, at this distant date, is a difficult
matter. We, who are in sympathy with the people, see him as a man, great in his day, in that
locality — as one who, by his deed as well as word, served to mould the events of his time, and
as one of those who have stood out, in all ages, as fearless and resolute advocates of individual
rights. Viewed from the standpoint of the Proprietary Party, he appears as, "a factious and
seditious person," given to false representation and desirous of evading, as well as assisting
others to evade, their just obligations. According to our own individual convictions will these
opinions prevail.
The dates of Richard Saltar 's birth and decease are not known, but the latter occurred
subsequently to 1728, for, at this date, he was still an acting Judge in his County.
He married Sarah, daughter of Capt. John Bowne, by Lydia Holmes, his wife. She was
born, at Gravesend, L. I., Nov. 27, 1669, and was living as late as 1714, the date of her brother,
John Bowne's will, in which she and several of her children, are mentioned as devisees.
This brother, John Bowne, between the date of his will, in 17 14, and the date of its probate,
in 1 7 16, recognizing his approaching end, made a deed of trust, which largely distributed his
estate, and mentioned many of his kinspeople, among others, the Salters:
1715/16, Feb. 5. John Bowne, of Middletown, merchant, gave a bond of £5260, at eight shillings the
ounce, to William Lawrence, Sr., and Richard Hartshorne in trust, for the use of said John Bowne's wife,

SALTER OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 185
MORDECAI LINCOLN'S marriage to Hannah Saltar, and perhaps her death also,
occurred before the year 17 14, as appears from the will of her uncle, John Bowne, the settle-
ment of whose estate was only accomplished with considerable friction between his legatees.
Obadiah Bowne, one of his administrators, brought numerous actions against the said legatees,
among which were suits against Mordecai Lincoln in 1716, 1717, 1719 and 1720.
1 72 1, Nov. 30. Mordecai Lincoln reversed this legal status, and became plaintiff in a suit
against John Lining, for a debt of £11-9-0. Defendant was non est.
1720, Feb. 2. Richard Saltar, of Freehold, conveyed to Mordecai Lincon, of the same
place, for the sum of £152:

Mordecai Lincoln, son of Mordecai Lincoln, was born Apr. 24, 1686. He married, as set forth above, prior to 1714, Hannah,

Samuel Lincoln, and had been asked, as he had made researches into the Lincoln genealogy, by Isaac N. .\rnold, of Chicago, who
was rewriting the Life of .Abraham Lincoln, to contribute the chapter on Abraham Lincoln's ancestry.
Contributions to Lincoln genealogy in the way of memoranda, appear in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record,
for April and July, 1872, and in Old Times in Monmouth County, N. J.
i86 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
Mordecai's widow, Mary, it is said by the Pennsylvania Lincolns, remarried.
The above will of Mordecai Lincon, establishes the fact that he had a later wife than
Hannah Saltar, by the name of Mary, and there is nothing to disprove the fact, that I know of,
that he might have had a still earher wife than Hannah Saltar, except his youth.
There is no positive knowledge of the descent of the children from these respective wives,
and there is some clash in the traditions given concerning them. And I feel quite sure that
the children are not enumerated in the will in the order of their birth.
However, that Mordecai Lincon's eldest son and heir was John Lincon, there can be no
doubt :
1748, Nov. 8. John Lincon, of the Township of Carnarvin, in the County of Lancaster
and Province of "Penselvania," weaver, the son and heir of Mordecai Lincon, deceased, sold to
WiUiam Dye, of the County of Middlesex, yeoman, for the sum of £200, that tract of land,
lying in the County of Middlesex:
"Beginning where the land formerly Walter Benthals crosses Cranbury brook from thence along said
Benthals land towards the Post Road to the Land formerly Robert Burnets and itom thence along said Burnets
line," etc., containing three hundred acres.
1750, May 24. John Lincon, party to the above written instrument, acknowledged the
execution of the same, before Andrew Johnston, one of His Majestie's Council for the Province
of New Jersey.
Charles Carleton Coffin, in his Life of Abraham Lincoln, says: "John, son of Mordecai,
was born, in Massachusetts, by a first wife." Also that Ann and Hannah Lincoln were daugh-
ters by a second wife. On the other hand, David J. Lincoln, of Birdsboro, deceased, stated
that John Lincoln was a fuU brother to Ann Lincoln, and she a daughter of Mordecai Lincoln
by Hannah Saltar. Here is direct contradiction, and if the first authority cited is correct,
then Mordecai Lincoln had three wives, the second of whom was Hannah Saltar.
The descent of John Lincon and the other children may be conjectured from the disposal
of the lands of Mordecai Lincon:
To John, he conveyed the tract of three hundred acres that he, John, sold, in 1748, to
William Dye.
To two of his daughters, he deeded one hundred acres, and to the other two daughters, one
hundred acres, which he had bought, in 1726, when of Chester County, Pa., from Richard Saltar.
The land he owned in Pennsylvania was bequeathed to his sons, Thomas, Mordecai and
Abraham.
It would seem from this partition of his estate that John Lincon, and his four sisters,
inheriting all the New Jersey lands, were children by the wife, Hannah Saltar, while the other
three children were by the wife Mary.

"man of good understanding." He, soon thereafter, was appointed and filled the position
until 1762, the date of his decease.
1754, Mch. 29. Judge Morris tendered his resignation and suggested Mr. Saltar as the
best man for the succession, being "a man of good understanding and fortune, a firm friend to
the government, and will act in that station with honor to himself, and justice to the public."

large, substantial house on Black Point, West of the Navesink River, near the place now called
Seabright. Finally he settled in Nottingham, Burlington County, West Jersey, as appears
from a deed, dated Dec. 18, 1761, in which he conveys the farm, upon which he dwells, con-
sisting of seven hundred and two acres, bounded by the River Delaware, Isaac Watson's line,
etc., with the houses, buildings, orchards, woods, etc., to Joseph, John and Lawrence Saltar,

Situated in Upper Freehold containing two hundred acres, and land that he, Saltar, had bought from
Elisha Lawrence, of Upper Freehold, Apr. 3, 1732, which adjoined the preceding tract, containing one hun-
dred and eighty and a half acres ; bounded by land of Richard Saltar, being the Easterly corner of that tract

Ebenezer Saltar married Rebecca, daughter of John and Rebecca (Throckmorton) Stillwell,
of Staten Island.
In 1757, he was probably dead, and she was living. The petition of John Corson, con-
cerning the administration of the estate of John Stillwell, recited that Rebecca "resided the
best part of the time in the western part of Monmouth county."
Rebecca Saltar married, after Ebenezer's death, James Cox, of Monmouth County, who
died in 1750. The place of her interment is unknown. As she outlived her last husband, she
probably withdrew to her Stillwell or Saltar kindred.

There is considerable uncertainty in my own mind as to the correctness of the list of
children attributed to Ebenezer Saltar.
Of Manassah and Daniel Saltar, I feel certain. The descendants of Daniel Saltar, know,
for a certainty, his parentage, and he named one of his children, Ebenezer. Manassah Saltar
was always Daniel's reputed brother. The other three children, assigned to Ebenezer Salter,
are purely upon assumptions set forth under their respective names.

Bembridge, n& Clark, a daughter of Mr. Clark, by Miss Shewell, a cousin to the wife of Benjamin West. Miss Coleman has letters
referring to this coimection.
194 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
There was seemingly another Lawrence Saltar contemporary with the one we have men-
tioned, who occasions much confusion. It has been claimed that Richard Saltar left two sons
by the name of Lawrence, but a careful scrutiny of his will and records does not sustain any
such assertion.
Miss Frances Saltar wrote: "Concerning this uncle there is the record of his marriage to
Dorothy Gordon, but no notice of a previous marriage. Among some old letters written by
Elizabeth Gordon, wife of John Saltar, I find one to a friend, dated Dec. 3rd, 1769, and quote
from it these words: 'Dolly was married last Thursday'; then follows a list of guests and an
account of the wedding festivities, quaint and amusing. There is nothing to indicate that
Dolly was the second wife."

38 DANIEL SALTER, son of Ebenezer Saltar, 7, is said to have been born in New
Jersey, and inferentially about 1 738. His remains lie in " the Ryerson Churchyard." He lived
on Staten Island, at Black Horse, about the center of the Count)', where he owned much land,
and was, at one time, Collector. During the Revolutionary period, he resided on the Island,
and was an object of suspicion to both Whig and Tory. When the British came to the Island,
they billeted themselves upon him and made way with most of his movable property. His
sympathy, though possibly then disguised, was with the American party, as is abundantly
proven by subsequent developments. Both he and his brother Manassah, were constantl)' in
contact with the British, and to avoid imprisonment and confiscation of their property, tried
to remain neutral. By old residenters, he was thought to have been the only one of the name
upon the Island. In a list of the officers of the first Court, on Staten Island, under the Repub-
lican Government, 1784, he appears as one of the Constables.
In 1786, he gave to John Mersereau a bond for £50; both being of Staten Island.
1788, Apr. I. He took a bond from Richard Merrell,* yeoman; both of the County of
*Daniel Salter was financially ruined by going security, says tradition, for the Collector of Staten Island, presumably Richard
Merrill, or Morrell, who gave his bond, for £200. to Daniel Salter, April i, 1 788. The Black Horse property, in his day, had a lien
on it, which was subsequently removed. About 1847, a purchase of land was made there by Capt. George Malcolm, subject to
claims by heirs of Daniel Salter. The proof to establish the claim was given to his son, Amos Salter, who would not engage in a law
suit. Amos Salter gave the papers to Paul Salter, the son of John Salter, who probably did nothing, as he returned a bond, since
lost, in 1857, to Amos Salter.

39 ALICE SALTAR, supposed daughter of Ebenezer Saltar, 7, married James Lisk, of
Staten Island, by license dated Aug. 16, 1757. It was signed by James and John Lisk, and
James Reed, as bondsmen. With the exception of the last, who was of Perth Amboy, all were
of Staten Island.
40 THOMAS SALTAR, supposed son of Ebenezer Saltar, 7.
About 1879, when I commenced to compile the Salter notes, which were shortly aftei
published in the files of the Monmouth Democrat, Freehold, N. J., and which afterward were
reissued in pamphlet form, I had no knowledge of certain children, since discovered, belonging
to Richard Saltar, the First. Because of this, I was disposed, by an eliminative process, to
attribute certain children to Ebenezer Saltar, who now I would be disposed to classify as de-
scendants of Richard Saltar, the First, through unknown lines. Of these, AUce, Thomas and
Elezar Saltar are instances.
In the will of Richard Saltar, 5, is mentioned "my nephew Thomas"; hence a grandson
of Richard Saltar, the First.
The name Thomas, occurs in, and I may say is restricted to, the line of Ebenezer Saltar;
hence the inference that he is a son of this individual. The nephew Thomas, that Richard
Saltar alludes to, I think is, without doubt, Thomas Saltar, the opulent merchant, of Phila-
delphia, who died in 1790. Against this supposition is the fact that the sisters to whom he
bequeathed his estate, and who likewise would be children of Ebenezer Saltar, are not, from
any knowledge I possess, his issue, but the lack of my knowledge is so great that it would not
warrant their exclusion.
1 73 1, May 31. James Ashton and Elisha Lawrence, of Freehold, send greeting. Whereas
Thomas Saltar, of Freehold, by deed of this date, gave twenty-five acres of land, lying in
Freehold, to them, they do declare the same a trust for " the Society of People called Baptists."

41 ELEZAR SALTAR, supposed son of Ebenezer Saltar, 7. Possibly this name is
correct, but it suggests itself to me that an error has occurred in copjdng, and that it should

The name appears as a witness to the will of Elizabeth, widow of John Saltar, which was
written 1728 and proved 1741.
Elezar Saltar is placed among the children of Ebenezer Saltar, merely because of the sup-
posed similarity of names.

For many years he largely shaped the political course of Ocean County, N. J., which he repre-
sented, for several terms, in the State Legislature, commencing in 1856. In 1859, he was
chosen Speaker of the House, and had it not been for his retiring disposition and excessive
modesty, he would have been crowded into more important places. In later life, he was em-
ployed in the Auditor's Division of the Treasury Department, at Washington. In the dis-
charge of his duties, he was able and active. In speech, he was terse, direct and logical, rather
than eloquent. In all his dealings with his fellow man, he was upright and downright, yet
urbane beyond common, and punctiliously punctual. He was an ardent student of history,
local and general, and a member of several historical bodies. He contributed to them and
to the newspapers, innumerable articles on history and genealogy, and was at the date of his
death, preparing an history of Ocean County, N. J., which was produced in its skeleton form,
as a posthumous work. To him is due great credit as a pioneer in this line of research. He
awakened in many a feeling of family pride, whereby was rescued traditions and facts from ob-
livion. Much of his material was prepared distant from the scenes about which he wrote, and
from the records and individuals which could best supply him with information, yet his articles
for the press were replete with interest to the general reader, as well as to the historian and
genealogist. He was sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends.

2o8 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
In arranging genealogical material it is not uncommon to find a number of descendants
who cannot be united to the parent stem. It is likewise not uncommon to find pedigrees, of
the same family, differing very considerably, even indeed to the extent of being irreconcilable.
In a letter from Col. I. S. Buckalew, of Jamesburg, N. J., dated Mch. 15, 1882, he stated,
in response to a query, that his notes, concerning his Salter ancestry, yielded the following
information :
1 JOHN SALTER, bom about 1735, was killed, while "loading a log," about 1775. He
married "Epenetus, daughter of Thomas Gordon and Janet, daughter of David Mudie."

SALTER OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 209
After careful examination and correspondence, I still fail to connect John Salter, i, with
the parent stock, though it would seem as if he might be identified with John Salter, son of
Richard. But a glance at the two sets of children belonging to these individuals, would exclude
any such thought, even if direct assurances were wanting from the descendants of John Salter,
that no such descendants, as are ascribed to John Salter, had ever been heard of.
Probable Descendants of Ebenezer Saltar
SALTAR; probably Ebenezer, had issue, mentioned in the will of Tho' Saltar, of
Philadelphia, Pa., viz.:
2 Thomas Saltar
3 Meribah Saltar
4 Mary Saltar
5 Sarah Saltar
6 Hannah Saltar
7 John Cox; a stepson.
2 THOMAS SALTAR, son of Ebenezer Saltar (?), is mentioned in the will of Richard
Saltar, 1762, as "my nephew." He early resided in Freehold. He wrote a fine signature and
his name appears frequently as a witness to many of the mortgages made by the Loan Com-
missioners, at Freehold, and it may be that he was employed in that office.
1748, Mch. 25. Robert Hankison mortgaged twenty-eight acres, in Upper Freehold,
being the plantation of Tho"" Taylor, dec''. Thomas Saltar was a witness to the transaction.
After some years, Thomas Saltar moved to Northern Liberties, Philadelphia County, Pa.,
and became an opulent merchant. He married Susannah, daughter of Caspar and Eve Ulrich,
of Philadelphia, as is set forth in a quit-claim deed, dated May 10, 1763, between Eve Ulrich,
of Philadelphia, widow, and relict of Caspar Ulrich, dec'\ of Philadelphia, and Thomas Saltar
and Susannah, his wife, a daughter of the said Caspar and Eve, and Philip Ulrich, of Phila-
delphia, baker, a son of the same. In the deed, it appeared that Caspar Ulrich left a will
bearing date Nov. 22, 1751. Philadelphia Deeds, H. 18, p. 183.
Susannah Ulrich was the widow of Thomas Rutter, of Philadelphia, and is so alluded to
in her father's will. Her marriage to Thomas Saltar occurred, at Christ Church, Philadelphia,
Dec. 23, 1758, and she has been erroneously called Susannah Butler. Upon the death of his
wife, Susannah, Thomas Saltar married Sarah Stewart, a widow with four children.
In 1765, he was among the Citizens or Landholders who signed for a INIunicipal Govern-
ment for Northern Liberties, Philadelphia County, Pa.
1772 and 1779. Thomas Saltar was joined by his wife, Susannah, frequently, in deeds.
In 1790, in a deed of land, in Upper Freehold, the "land now or late Thomas Saltar's,"
is alluded to, near Doctor's Creek, Burlington Path, Daniel Grandin's land. Job Throckmorton's
land, and others.
1790. His death occurred, and his large estate was distributed, by will, among his kins-
people as he, himself, was childless. As it throws light upon the family, and is, itself, an inter-
esting document, a synopsis of it follows:
1785, Oct. 4. Will of Thomas Saltar, of Northern Liberties, City of Philadelphia, mer-

SEABROOK
OF
MONMOUTH COUNTY
The surname of Seabrook is so rare, both in England and America, that a suppositive
kinship might be claimed very plausibly for all bearing the name.
The references to them, in England, are not numerous, and no account of them appears in
any of the Heralds' Visitations, that I have seen, though they were granted arms.
Seabrook Arms. Argent; a lion passant gules; in chief, a cross crosslet fitchefi sable.
Crest; a hand erect holding a cross crosslet fitchee, in pale gules.
Another arms, given by the same authority, Burke, is: Argent; three roses sable.
The former arms are and were used by the South Carolina Seabrooks, and an impression,
from a seal ring bearing them, was given to me about 1880.
THOMAS SEABROOK, an Englishman, and the progenitor of the New Jersey family, was
settled at Mineford Island, now known as City Island, lying off Pelham Neck, Westchester
County, New York, Aug. 29, 1664, at which date he purchased, of John Seaman, of Hempstead,
in the North Riding of Yorkshire, (Long Island, New York), one hundred and twenty acres
of land, situated on the North Neck, in Hempstead, commonly called Mattgairisons Neck, the
lot being on the East side of said neck, and known as Number 41; thither he removed:
1664, Aug. 29.
Know All Men, etc., that I, John Seaman, now dwelling in Hempstead, in North Riding, in New York
Shire, on Long Island, have sold and do sell, etc., unto Thomas Seabrooke, now dwelling on Minneford Island,
in New York Shire, a certain allottment of land, at the North Neck, belonging to the foresaid Hempstead,
commonly called Mattsgairisons Neck, being at first laid out to me, the foresaid John Seaman, being in the
East Side of the said neck, and in number 41, and containing in quantity, one hundred and twenty acres, more
or less, etc., for a valuable sum of money in hand paid, etc.
Queens County Records, Jamaica, N. Y., Lib. C, p. 318.
1670. Feb. 2. He sued CorneHus Mott, his Hempstead townsman, for debt, which the
Court decided in his favor, and awarded him, in addition, 15 shillings damages.

1672, Oct. 30. Roger Townsend sold to Morgan Bedient, his house and orchard, situated in the

1672, Nov. 27. Morgan Bedient sold his recently acquired property from Roger Town-
send, to Thomas Seabrooke, of Westchester, and with it, one acre and a half of fresh meadow.
Recorded in the "Office of Records, at ffort James, in New Yorke, the 27''' day of November,
1672."*
After he had removed to the town of Westchester, and in the year 1675, he was assessed
for 2 horses, 6 cows, three "3 year old," three "i year old," 2 swine, 5 [acres of] land and 12
[acres of] meadow. New York Colonial History, Vol. 13, p. 488.
He died, at Westchester, the 17th December, 1675, ^s appears by the following:

29 years.
This Deponent saith, That when there was an Alarme of Indyans being at Castle Hill, Loaden with
Ammunicoii, last Summer, this deponent was then a Sojourner, in the House of Thomas Seabrooke, was

The wife of Thomas Seabrook brought to him, one feather bed and two blankets, probably
a wedding present from her parents.
Sometime following his demise, and prior to 1688, she married Thomas Whitlock, as ap-
pears by the following deeds:

The endorsement on the back of the paper is as follows: Thomas Bedient's Release to Thomas Witt-
clock.
From the preceding data, we conclude that Thomas Seabrook bought, in November, 1672,
the house and land of Morgan Bedient, in the town of Westchester. Shortly after this transac-
tion, both Bedient and Seabrook died, and the property being still unpaid for, Bedient's brother,
Thomas, who had succeeded to his estate, brought an action against Thomas Whitlock to
enforce the completion of the contract. Evidently Whitlock had become liable, as the husband
of Seabrook's widow, for Seabrook's debts, as she carried to him all her late husband's estate.
In 1688, the action was discontinued and a release was signed by Thomas Bedient.
The two Bedients, Morgan and ^Thomas, were sons of Morgan Bedient, as appears from
the following memorandum:
"Morgan, Son of Morgan Bedient, of Staynes,t in England, was born June 25: 1651; And Thomas Bed-
ient, Son of y"^ foresaid Morgan, was born July 22: 1654, w'^ to Oath was made before m'' Henry Clark & Leiut.
Smith, of Hadley, by Lawrence Carter & Mary Bedient, Mother of ye s"^ two Sons. " From Hadley Records.
1686, Sept. 3. Morgan Bedient was sued, at Court of Sessions, at Westchester, by Mr.
John Inians.
Mary Barnard, wife of Morgan Bedient, Sr., apparently married Roger Townsend, of
Westchester, who made his will May 7, 1674; proved Apr. 15, 1675, i^ which he mentioned
his \vife, Mary, who received his estate, excepting bequests to his overseers, Capt. William
Lawrence and Mr. Richard Cornell, and to his three sons, Mordecay, Thomas and John Bedient,
who received £10, each.
Thomas Bedient, son of Morgan and Mary (Barnard) Bedient, died, at Westchester,
intestate, for Mary, his wife, applied for letters of administration May 7, 1698. Before moving
to Westchester, he resided at Fairfield, Conn.
Thomas Whitlock was a prominent man in the early settlement of Gravesend, Long
Island. He had friends among the English and foes among the Dutch, by reason of his efforts
to overthrow Dutch rule in the Gravesend village, and in abetting the general discontent and
uprising. He was a Monmouth County Patentee in 1664, and was one of those, who, in a sloop,
prospected, some time previous to this date, the lands which the English later conveyed in
*The seal, apparently, is three lions' heads a£front6 on a fess, and in the chief, apparently, a bird.
tStaynes or Staines, is near London. Mary, the wife of Morgan Bedient, Sr., was a sister of John Barnard, of Cambridge,
who came, probably, in the "Francis," from Ipswich, in 1634, aged 36 years, and his wife, Mari\ aged 38 years. He was, perhaps,
the Freeman, Mch. 4, 1635; removed, in 1636, to Hartford, thence to Hadley, in 1650, or soon after. He died in 1664. leaving no
children. He left a good estate and left his kinsman, Francis Bedient, his executor, giving much to Morgan and Thomas Bedient,
sons of his sister, Mary, then living in old England, who came over to enjoy it. His widow, Mary, died next year, and she gave
much of her estate to Daniel and William Stacy, of Bamham, near Maiden, in the County of Essex, her brothers; and £10, to bring
up Thomas, son of Francis Bedient, to school. This legacy was well bestowed, for the father was poor and the son worthy. Savage.

the Monmouth Patent, but which the Dutch nipped in the bud by threatening measures.
After breaking soil in Middletown, he became a resident of Westchester, where he married,
for his second wife, Mary, the widow of Thomas Seabrook. His first wife was Susannah Stock,
by whom he had his issue. His career is too extended to follow here, but it is written in full
in the genealogy of his family.
Some time after his marriage to his second wife, he removed to Shoal Harbor, on the Bay
Shore, (now Port Monmouth) Middleto^\^l, Monmouth County, N. J., where he erected the
house which, for many years, has been the Seabrook Homestead.
What issue Thomas Seabrook, the First, had it is impossible, at this date, to tell, other
than a son.
It would appear that when Thomas Whitlock removed to Middletown, the infant child,
or children, of Mary Seabrook, were taken to their stepfather's house.
Upon his coming of age, there was a controversy between the eldest son of Thomas
Seabrook and Thomas Whitlock:
"Whereas there is a Twenty ffifve pound priviledge of Comonage belonging to the Orphant of Thomas
Seabrook, late freeholder of this Town, Deceased, and the said Pri\'iledge being in Possession of Thomas Whit-
lock, Wee, the Trustees, do declare that the said twenty-five pound privilege do belong to the orphant of Thomas
Seabrook & no wise intended for the said Thomas Whitlock." Westchester Town Records, Vol. II, p. 38.
It is evident that the orphan of Seabrook succeeded to some of his estate and doubtless
had more by gift from his mother.
1696, June ID. Thomas Whitlock, of Middletown, Carpenter, sold to Daniel Seabrook,
"my son-in-law," of Middletown, planter, for the sum of £80, his property, at Shoal Harbor,
consisting of two hundred and two acres, which Whitlock received as follows:
1676, Jan. 10. By patent from the Proprietors, twenty acres of upland and six acres of meadow.
1689, Mch. 26. By purchase from John Bowne.
i6gi, Feb. 20. By purchase from Garrat Wall.
1693, Sept. II. By purchase from John Pearce.
Thomas Whitlock signed by his mark: T W Freehold Records, Lib. E., p. 307.
"The orphant" of Thomas Seabrook was, doubtless, Daniel Seabrook.
He was born about 1665-1670. Thomas Seabrook had also a son, James Seabrook, who
must have been born between 1671-1675, always provided he is not the son of Daniel Seabrook.

2 DANIEL SEABROOK, son of Thomas Seabrook, i, was born about, or somewhat
earlier than, 1670. Of this individual I know nothing beyond the facts recited above. \Vhether
he married or left issue, or even when he died is unknown. The farm that he purchased from
Thomas Whitlock, at the Bay Shore, was, in 1717, in the possession of James Seabrook. As
the OHTier of such an estate and house, it is more than likely, yes, even certain, that Daniel
Seabrook was married. How the property passed from him to James Seabrook is unsolved.
If he was the father of James Seabrook, he was probably born nearer 1660 than 1670, and it
seems that he must have been such, as it is the only way to account for the title of the home-
stead being vested in James Seabrook.

1750, Mch. 29. Will of Mary Seabrook, of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth,
New Jersey, "being Sick and Weak in body"; proved. May 2, 1750, by witnesses, James Mott
and Skelton Johnson, and by executors, Joseph Stillwell and Edward Taylor, mentioned:
"all my Lands and Meadows which is Eyeing and being in Shrewsbury Should be Rented Out by my
Executors untill my two Sons Daniel and Nicholas Seabrook Shall Arive to the Age of twenty One
years the Rents Should be Disposed of in bringing up my Children and Schoohng, " the re-
mainder to be divided among all her children. Also that her children be put out to trades, "of their own
Choice," at a suitable age.
232 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
"my well beloved Son Thomas Seabrook the Sum of five pounds Money at Eight Shillings p Ounce
to be paid by my Executors out of my Estate when my Said Son Shall Arive to the years of twenty four
to Cut him of as Heir at Law. "
Estate to be sold "when My two Sons Daniel and Nicholas Shall be of Age and the Money to be Equally
Divided amongst the four Sons Namely: i^' Daniel, Secondly Nicholas, thirdly John and fourthly James:
Excepting the Sum of Two Hundred Pounds Money at 8/ p ounce" One Hundred Pounds to be first
paid my well beloved Daughter Hannah Money at 8/ p ounce and the Other One Hundred Pounds I
Give my well beloved Daughter Mary."
"if any of my abovesaid Children Should Die without Heirs then that part which Should be paid them
to be Equally Divided amongst the Living Thomas Excepted."
Executors: "my beloved friend Joseph Stillwell and Edward Taylor both of Middletown."
Witnesses: James Mott, Skelton Johnson, Elizabeth forman and Judah Comton.
The testator signed her name in full to the will.
A bitter feeling existed between the Seabrooks and Taylors. Edward Taylor died before
the estate of Mary Seabrook was settled and his executors had difficulty in the accounting.
1769, Jan. 25. Edward Taylor, executor of Mary Seabrook, deceased, to David Knott.
Joseph Stillwell, deceased, of Middletown, with Edward Taylor, of the same place, were execu-
tors of Mary Seabrook, of Middletown, and, as such, disposed of her estate as directed, but
overlooked, as they are informed by David Knott, of Shrewsbury, a small gore or gusset of
land, where the Presbyterian Church stands, at Shark River, bounded by David Knott, Joseph
Cook, Easterly by the highway from Shrewsbury town to Manasquan, by Peter Knott's land
and by the land of Mary Stillwell, deceased, which, at the request of Daniel Seabrook, one of
the children and heir of Mary Seabrook, "who undertook to sell and discount a sum agreed
for with the said David Knott, for two shares of said right of land, if any there be, the one
his own, the other his brother, Nicholas Seabrook's, which the said Daniel claimed a right to
by virtue of a power of attorney from said Nicholas and further, at the request of Tho'
Seabrook, who being the eldest son and heir-at-law of Mary Seabrook, and whereas Gawin
Drummon, brother-in-law to the said David Knott, makes a demand of said Thomas Seabrook,
as heir," etc., "to the value of twelve pounds, on account of a deficiency of land sold by Nicholas
Brown, father of the said Mary Seabrook, to Gawin Drummond, grandfather of the present
Gawin Drummon, now for the aforesaid consideration, I, Edward Taylor, do hereby release,"
etc.

Mr. M. A. De L. Van Horn, attorney-at-law, 721 Walnut St., Philadelphia, Penn., is her
descendant, and pubUshed in a genealogical journal, "Our Ancestors," an account of the Van
Horn Family. There were but few issues of the journal, when it died. From it, and personal
correspondence, the accompanying notes are taken:
Abraham Van Horn, his brother, Capt. CorneHus, and half-sister, Lena, came from the
Province of New York and settled in Monmouth County, N. J., prior to 1724.
Abraham Van Horn married Anna Covenhoven about 1724-25, and afterward moved to
Whitehouse, Hunterdon County, N. J., and, about 1737, his brother, Capt. Cornelius, followed
him.
Burt Van Horn, of Lockport, N. Y., owns the original family Bible; "James Van Horn his
great Bible given to him by his mother, Hannah Drake, before she died 1788." "The James
Van Horn is my grandfather and Hannah Drake my great-grandmother," writes Burt Van
Home. She, Hannah Drake, who died 1788, was born May 8, 1749, and was the daughter
of Benjamin and Hannah Drake.
The Seabrook notes are also in this Bible.
6 THOMAS SEABROOK, son of James Seabrook, 3.
In 1726, he was plaintiff in a suit in Monmouth County.
In 1734, he was a member of the Baptist Church, at Middletown, N. J.
In 1738, Thomas Seabrook signed a bill of lading.
1739, May 2. John Webb, probably a sea captain, accounted with Thomas Seabrook,
and owed him £24-8-3.

Rhode-Island, March 28. We are informed that about Three Weeks ago, a Sloop from the Jersey's
bound to Rhode-Island, Dehart Commander, was overset by a hard Gale of Wind in Long-Island Sound,
his Sails being frose so that he could not lower them, and having no Ax on board could not cut down the Mast:
They had nine Men on board, eight of them perished in the Seas, amongst whom was one Capt. Thomas
Seabrook, and his Mate Godfrey Sweet, who were Passengers; and the Person whose Life is saved is froze
to that Degree that it is feared his Legs must be cut ofif. The Boston Weekly Post-Boy, March 31, 1740.
New York, March 18. We hear from Mount Misery, on the North Side of Long Island, that the Johanna,
Capt. James De Hart, belonging to New Brunsvnck, was cast away there on Tuesday last: She went from here
on Monday, the Sloop and Cargo is mostly lost, and also the Hands and Passengers, amongst whom was Capt.
Seabrook, they were Nine in Number, one whereof escaped, with frost-nipt Hands and Legs.
The Boston Evening Post, March ji, 1740.
It is possible the newspaper statements, concerning Thomas Seabrook's death, may be
an error, for I find among my memoranda, Thomas Seabrook signed a receipt in 1742, and he
may have been living, in 1751, as would appear from the following item; yet, it is possible this
last reference may be to his nephew, Thomas Seabrook, bom in 1735, and sixteen years of age
when this transaction occurred, a somewhat early period in Ufe to entrust a money matter to:
May i" 1751, Debts due from the Estate of Daniel Seabrook, Deceased.
"To Cash paid at 2 Sundry times on another bond to Mrs. Walton as per her Acct taken
by Tho' Seabrook York Money £132:0:0."
Mary StillweU, daughter of John Stillwell, of Staten Island, son of Richard Stillwell, was
single, in 1724, as per her father's wiU, but she was the widow, Mary Seabrook, in 1748, as per
her brother, Richard's will. She was the wife of Daniel Corsen, November, 1757, who was born
about 1714, and who died Jan. 26, 1761. She was hving as late as 1766, when she was
nominated, an executrix, in the will of Christian Corsen, her father-in-law. She, apparently,
had no children by her husband, Mr. Seabrook.
I have often thought that Mary Stillwell was the wife of Thomas Seabrook, and certainly
do not beheve she was the wife of a Daniel Seabrook, as set forth in B. M. Stillwell's Memoirs,
and in Bergen's Kings County Settlers, quoting from the same.
7 REBECCA SEABROOK, daughter of James Seabrook, 3, married, between 1725-
1740, Isaac Fitz-Randolph, who was born 1701.

tFrom the Autobiography of Charles Biddle — Vice president of the Supreme Executive Council, of Pennsylvania, 1745-
•'^^3l:
After having been a prisoner, & exchanged. Captain Biddle was en route, through New Jersey — when the following passage
"When we came near the tavern at Woodbridge, — I heard a very stout man that was walking the piazza, say — in a loud
voice — 'I'll be d d if any man shall search Captain Biddle's baggage' — Looking at him, — I found it was Ezekiel Furman
— an old friend that served his time to a merchant at Philadelphia. — With Furman, I had been acquainted when boys — & in
our boyish expeditions, — he always headed us. — (It was not General E. Furman — him, I did not know). .Although I had
nothing to be taken, — I was very glad to see Furman & to find him the same honest fellow he had ever been.^Some of those in
the wagon ahead of us — had told him I was in the wagon, coming up, — & he waited to see me. — If the people here had any in-
tention of searching us, — they could not have done it. — Furman was brave, as he was stout, & had several friends — & none in
the wagon would have suffered a search without resistance. I was very sorry to hear from Furman, that he had been unfor-
tunate, & much more so — to hear since, that his misfortunes had made him intemperate.
He married a Miss Wikoff of a respectable family. — Taking leave of this good fellow — we arrived safe in Philadelphia."
.,.-., - '^ p. 166.
I "i « "In August this year, (181 2], I went to Long Branch. — At Edentown — near the Branch, I heard that my old friend — Captain
1 ft Furman — lived there, (the person who was at Woodbridge — & swore that none of my luggage should be searched. — When I came
, w (!Lv»>*lt»« a prisoner from New York.) — When he came to the tavern, I knew him immediately — although it was upwards of thirty-one years
I I ^ ' since we had met. — He did not know me — but when I told him, who it was, that was conversing with him, he was greatly re-
' joiced to see me. — Agreeably to his promise he came the next day to the Branch to see me. — He is a very hale, hearty man — &
rode down on a race horse, which he mounted & managed with great case. — He has a large respectable family. — Upon some dis-
gust he joined the British Army & being taken in arms — would have suffered an ignominious death, but for his relation General
Furman — & some powerful friends. — He told me that after the war — he lived near Frankford, & a report of some of his friends
— that he could beat any man in America, had occasioned him many severe battles. It appeared to me, that few men, — now —
could beat him.
He has a small pension from the British government to which government he is warmly attached — and has as much hatred
to the French as man in America."

The old house, (built by Thomas Whitlock in all probabiHty), had a cannon ball shot
through a clap board in the roof, during the Revolutionary War, which they can still show.
When the Hessians visited and plundered it, they left, setting it on fire after cutting the
well ropes, but a negress, too aged to flee with the others, was smoked out of her hiding place,
and with good presence of mind extinguished the commencing blaze, by overturning the wash
tubs, which had been set \\dth the clothes to soak. On another occasion, the silver was saved
by hurriedly throwing it behind the asparagus bush which filled the big chimney place. I have
one of these spoons which was the property of Dr. Stephen Tallman, and another is with the
Hill family at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Another piece, a silver tankard, was seized and put in the
capacious hanging pocket, on the person of the Major's daughter, Patty (Vandevere), who
courageously followed up the Hessians, constantly protesting against the theft of the beds,
mirrors, etc., and the lid of the tankard giving an occasional click, kept her mother in a constant
fright for fear of its discovery. The house itself was saved by the understanding that the day
it burned, so would the Taylor [Tory] house in Middletown \allage.

338 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
May 21'* I was not at home until the evening when it was told by my father Edward Taylor had been
cutting some of his shore fence. I went soon after & counted the rails & post cut & found 22 rails, splices
cut & 9 post cut & split.
May 25, '99 my father sent for me to come to the house & informed me that James Kelsey told him
that Edward Taylor was cutting our fence again & told me to tell s"* Taylor to not make unnecessarj' waste.
I went in company with James Kelsey & when we came to the fence Edward Taylor was by the cut fence
with his axe in his hand. Upon our coming to him a conversation began between me & said Taylor about
the fence & land. I told Taylor it was poor business. Taylor acknowledged he had cut 20 or 30 Pannel &
he would be damned if it was put up again; he the s"^ Taylor would cut down as much or more & that he
had money enough; could have as much money as he could carry & that he would spend the last sixpence,
at the last cutting fence I found 44 cedar rails cut in two & 28 splices cut of & 23 posts cut & split.

Tombstones in Fairview Cemetery, Middletown, N. J. :
Maj. Tho' Seabrook died, Feb. 22, 1805, aged 67 years, 11 months and 25 days.
Martha Seabrook, his wife, died, July 14, 1828, aged 89 years and 2 months.
These stones originally stood in a lot just East of the lane leading from the Highway, in
Middletown \dllage, to the residence of the late Charles I. Hendrickson, Esq., and about one
hundred and fifty feet from his front door. They were removed by the Hendricksons, which
was the cause of a disturbance between the two families. The location of this cemetery
raises the question whether this may not have been one of the homestead sites of the Seabrooks.

brother, Thomas Seabrook, May i, 1767. He remained at Portsmouth until after the birth of
his youngest child, James, when he removed to North Carolina, where he seems to have settled
in Hyde County, as his sons were living on Smith's Creek and News River, near Germanton,
in 1823. He died before his youngest son, James, was nine years of age. Upon the death of
her father, John Little, which occurred shortly before Feb. 4, 1785, Mary (Little) Seabrook

Nicolas Brown Seabrook was born, at Middletown, in the State of New Jersey, May the 25*'', 1739, old
style, the son of James Seabrook,* whose progenitors came from England, and settled in Connecticut, about
the time King Charles the 2"'' was restored to the Crown of England, as our ancestors were opposed to Mon-
archical Governments, and had rendered themselves obnoxious to the King's party, they found it expedient
to emigrate to New England, as above. The history of Connecticut makes mention of the family.
Nicolas B. Seabrook was married to Mary Dutchess, in the City of New York, December the ig"",
1761, she was born, at Philips Mannor, State of New York, October the 30"", 1742. In August, 1763, they re-
moved to Portsmouth, Virginia, where they had a daughter born, March 11"', 1764, & named Mary, who died
when aged 17 months.
John Seabrook, a graduate of Princeton, son of the above, was born also, at Portsmouth, on the 1 7"" day
of February, 1768. Molly Seabrook was born the 22"'* October, 1770, and died, at Portsmouth, aged 4 weeks —
Removed to Norfolk, in December, 1771 — Sally was born there on the 18"' of October, 1773 — ^Nicholas B.
Seabrook was driven from Norfolk by the British fleet, commanded by John, Earl of Dunmore, at the com-
mencement of the American Revolution, and removed to Richmond, at the falls of the James River, in Sep-
tember, 1775, where Polly Seabrook was born on the 28"" February, 1777. N. B. S. removed to his plantation
in Hanover County, in December, 1779 — Betsy Seabrook was born there July 15"", 1780, and died of the
measles, at Richmond, Oct. 2"'', 1783 — Nicholas B. Seabrook, Jr., was born, at Dungaroon, in Hanover, [Co.]
Sept. II, 1782 —
The above record by N. B. Seabrook, Sen'.
Nicholas B. Seabrook, Sen', died, at Richmond, June 28"', 1790. Mary Seabrook, his widow, and her
children, John, Sally, Polly, and Brown removed to the plantation, at Hanover, of John, soon after the death
of N. B. Seabrook, Sen', but lived, in Richmond, during the year 1791. Nicholas B. Seabrook, Jun', while
going to school to Harris and McCray, in Richmond, was inoculated for the small-pox at Mr. John Cunliff's,
and died thereof on the 13**' of Feby, 1794.
Sally Seabrook was married to James Rind, attorney-at-law, Nov. 3, 1794, at Dungaroon, in Hanover
County. N. B. Rind, their first child, was born March 13**", 1796. Maria Dutchess Rind was born the 28"",
Jany, 1798. Betsy Rind was born in May, 1802 & died in May, 1803.
James and Sally Rind, left Richmond for the Hot Springs about the first of July, 1803, for the benefit of
his health, but he died before he reached the Springs, at the New Store, (Mr. Fosset's), on the 4"" of August,
1803, & Sally, his wife, survived him but a few weeks. She died at John McClung's, on the south side of the
Warm Springs, Oct', the 8*, 1803, and James & Sarah Rind were buried at Staunton.
Polly Seabrook was married to Bartholomew Trueheart at the same time & place that her sister Sally was
married to James Rind, Nov. 13"*, 1794, and died at James Rind's, in Richmond, May ii"", 1796, while her
husband was in Kentucky.
John Seabrook was married to Ann Sydnor, October 18"', 1793, which Ann was the daughter of William
& Ann Sydnor, of Hanover County, Virginia. She was born the 6"" of October, 1775.
'Nicholas Brown Seabrook was the son of Daniel Seabrook, all statements to the contrary notwithstanding. It seems in-
comprehensible that if this record was written by N. B. Seabrook, Sr., that he should not have known the given name of his own
father. The statement that the family appeared in Connecticut history was made also by my own grandmother, Hannah Seabrook,
the wife of Dr. William Stillwell, and had its origin, doubtless, from the application of the names of Lord Say and Seal and Lord
Brooke, after whom Saybrook, Conn., was named. J. E. Stillwell.

"William Clare Seabrook," who appears in Aaron Longstreet's Tax Book, of Middletown,
N. J., in the year 1794, was, probably, also connected with this line.
1786, May 13. Richard LawTence, Joseph Throckmorton and William Crawford acted
as arbitrators in a settlement of the claims of Thomas Seabrook, for himself, and as attorney
for his brothers, Nicholas Brown and James Seabrook, and of Thomas McDowell and John
Lyell, executors of Andrew McDowell, deceased, who had married one of the daughters of
Mary Seabrook, under whose will they all claimed title, and brought an action against John
Taylor, Daniel Hendrickson and Eleanor Lyell, executors of Edward Taylor, deceased, and
John Stillwell, administrator of Joseph Stillwell, deceased, the said Taylor and said Stillwell
being the executors of the \\'ill of Mary Seabrook, and dying, without having made a final
accounting.
As Daniel and Mary Seabrook had but two daughters, Mary and Hannah, if the preceding
inference concerning Mary is correct, then of necessity, Hannah was the wife of Andrew Mc-
Dowell, and mother of Thomas McDowell. Original paper in the possession of Dr. J. E.
StiUweU.
I have elsewhere among my memoranda, a note that Mary Seabrook, daughter of Daniel
Seabrook, died, at an advanced age, unmarried, and that she was simple-minded, from injuries
received from falling from a hay-mow, when about ten years of age. From all this confusion,
I am able to deduce nothing that is accurate.
18 JAMES SEABROOK, son of Daniel Seabrook, 4, died about 1815. He was simple-
minded, "yet sometimes the smartest of them all."

he may have collected, as attorney for him, in the settlement of his mother, Mary Seabrooks',

Thomas Seabrook had, apparently, the care of his younger brother, James Seabrook, during
his minority, for I have many papers, mostly releases, for board bills and expenses, from one
to the other.
42 STEPHEN SEABROOK, son of Thomas Seabrook, 11, was born, probably, between
i759-'64, and died in 1843. He was a private, in the Troop of Light Horse during the Revolu-
tionary War, when a youth, and was bayonetted through the ceiling of his father's house,
over the kitchen, where he had withdrawn himself on the approach of the enemy. He was
probably his father's eldest son. He went to New Albany with his children, but returned to
New Jersey. He lived near Englishtown. He owned the land now known as Lorrillard's
Brick Yard, adjacent to Keyport. Previously, or later, it belonged to Nathan Brown, who
built thereon a brown stone house. Here Stephen Seabrook failed, and his failure broke his
health. He was buried in the Tennent Church yard.

she married Stephen Seabrook she had been married twice before. Her first marriage was to a
Mr. Hankinson, who was killed at the Battle of Monmouth, and her second was to a husband of

MRS. MARTHA MARSH.
We take the following from the Keyport Weekly: —
Died at New Albany, Ind., April, 1878, Martha, widow of Samuel Marsh, and eldest daughter of Stephen
Seabrook, aged about ninety-two years.
252 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
Stephen Seabrook, the father of "Aunt Patty" Marsh, was the eldest son of "Major" Thomas Seabrook,
whose name was in the list of Revolutionary soldiers, published the last few weeks in The Monmouth In-
quirer, as Lieut. Col. Thomas Seabrook. Stephen Seabrook assisted at the battle of Monmouth, and dying at
Englishtown when more than ninety years of age, was buried in the "Old Tennent" churchyard.
Samuel Marsh, accompanied by four of kis brothers, and his nephew, Jacob Aumack, moved his family to
Cincinnati in 1814, but was induced by his father-in-law, Stephen Seabrook, to go farther down the river —
i. e., below the falls of the Ohio, as it would be a better place for his business — that of ship builder. New
Albany, now a large city — was then a wilderness. Daniel Seabrook, who was also of the party, joined Marsh
in his business, which they were still engaged in, in 1852. D. Seabrook and J. Aumack are both still living,
aged respectively 88 and 90 years.
There are but few, living in this vicinity, who remember Patty Mash, as the name was called in the olden
time; but there are relatives, nephews and nieces, in Keyport, who will remember her visit here in 1853, at
which time she visited her stepmother, Sallie Seabrook, at Englishtown, who was then ninety-four years old.

"very active and much interested in the life about her. She is the only daughter left of the
family and there are yet two sons remaining, Samuel Stephen and Augustus."
In 1890, the Rev. A. H. Anthony, of Winchester, Ky., wrote me concerning his Seabrook

municative, in a rough way; told me that he hailed from Bairden, County of Essex, about nine
miles from Bishop Stortford, and that he occasionally saw passing his door, farmers' wagons
with the name, which came by Rumford way. M)' \-isit to the last on the list was more pleas-
ing than this. Here I met an old gentleman, who was happy to converse concerning those of
his name, on the other side of the water. He informed me that there had been Seabrooks, in
Buckingham, about thirty-five miles from London, but none were there now; that his grand-
father was John Seabrook, of Slapton, who had a son, Frank, who had among others, my in-
formant, then in his seventieth year. He, Reuben Seabrook, was married and his wife was
still living. Their family consisted of two sons, Frank and William. So far as he knew, in his
family, at least, Joseph and Robert were not family names, and the peculiar characteristics of
all he knew were blue eyes and high foreheads. In relating my trip to Dunstable, and its disap-
pointments, it recalled to him that there was a "Seabrook House," surroimded with a moat,
and itself old and moss-grown ; in shape it was square, built of brick and had a tiled roof. It
had probably passed from the family of that name to other hands. It could be reached by the
North Western railway, and lay between Dunstable and London, one having to get out at
Cheddington station. It was a matter of regret with me that the information came so late as
to prevent my visiting the neighborhood, for it seems likely that, from its proximity to Dun-
stable, that it would furnish a clue to the ancestry of the South Carolina family of Seabrook.
258 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
He volunteered, further, that he had the impression that one Sir Thomas Seabrook, was living
in Bedfordshire; that his owti son, "Mr. James F. Seabrook," was "Organizing Master and
Inspector, of the IManchester and Salford Church Day School Association," which aimed at
the improvement of teachers and the art of teaching. His address was 42 John Dalton St.,
as appeared on the prospectus of the organization, February, 1880. His father suggested that
I should vnrite, as his sons had both become men of means and would, doubtless, take an in-
terest in developing their family history.
From another source there was obtained the address of two physicians, viz.:
Thomas Edward Seabrook, M.D., 3 Upper Wood St., Brompton, Kent.
William Milward Seabrook, M.D., Slaidburn, Chtheroe, Yorkshire.
Both were written to. The letter, addressed to the former, was returned, marked: "gone
awaj^ — left no address"; the other reached its destination, and was politely answered.
Dr. William M. Seabrook stated: "beyond the fact that my father's name was Thomas
Breu'sier Seabrook, and that his father was Thomas Seabrook, a clergyman and a schoolmaster,
living at Wickhambrook, in Suffolk, twenty-two miles from Cambridge, where he lies buried
under the pulpit of the Parish Church, I know nothing. He married, first, and had
Thomas Brewster Seabrook; second, Miss Cavendish. I will forward your letter on to my
mother, who lives in London, who will, perhaps, know more about my father's family than
I do. My father practiced medicine, for thirty-five years, at Brighton, in Sussex." No
further information was obtained from this source.
The reference to Dunstable, in old England, in the will of John Seabrook, of South Carolina,
excited hopes that were not realized. A visit to this old town, and an interview with its
Mayor, the Hon. W. H. Derbyshire, who is its historian, as well as several others, resulted
in disappointment. The name, Seabrook, is nearly unheard of.
A hasty search through the priory records, which commence in 1558, was equally unsatis-
factor\\ In the Priory Church, which is all that now remains of that once vast and interesting
building, are erected tablets to commemorate benefactors. Here, at least, I expected to see the
name of John Seabrook enrolled, with others, from the bequest of £100 that he made in his
will, to the poor of this parish, A.D. 1706. Its absence, however, was easily proven and was a
source of ver}' great regret, for it seemed that this would, at least, be instrumental in placing
the family. That it is not there is probably from the fact that it was not entitled to such dis-
tinction, from failure on the part of the executors, to carry out the testator's wishes.
Among the few tombstones, standing within the enclosure of the Priory yard, is one to:
"John Puddephatt, who departed this life Sept. 23, 1836, aged 57 years," etc.
It was copied on account of its resemblance to one of the legatee's names, mentioned in
the will of the aforesaid John Seabrook, viz.:
"Item. I give and bequeathe unto ye Eldest son of Mr. Joseph Peddihett, liveing in ye Barbican, near
Aldersgate street, London, the sum of fifty pounds sterling money of England," etc.
It is possible that this Dunstable name has gone through a process of reconstruction, and
comes out, one hundred and thirty years later, Puddephatt, instead of Peddihett.
One more fact to record, and all the information obtained by the visit is written. In con-
versation with a Dunstable-ite, it was said that, at Luton, not far from this place, was an old
church, and in its vicinity might be found possibly Seabrooks, living and dead, but he was not
certain.
1 88 1. J. Seabrook and S. Seabrook played in the cricket match between Ampthill and
Wellingboro Grammar Schools, the two Seabrooks being on the latter team.

SEABROOK OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 259
1888. Sidney Seabrook, a representative of London lirms, in New York, and nephew of
Mrs. Mary Seabrook, of Thames Ditton, Surrey, England, called on me for business orders
during this year.
In America, there were, seemingly, several distinct families of this name ; one in Connecticut,
one in New Jersey, one in Maryland and one in South Carolina.
James Seabrook, mentioned in Mary Matthews' will. New York City, 1687, was not of kin
to Thomas Seabrook of Westchester, and the Stuyvesants mentioned therein as her sons were
Stephenszens. The situation is a most complicated one and most difficult to unravel, but it ail
originates from the phonetic spelUng of surnames in the transitional Dutch-English Colonial
period. It is my present belief that Mary Matthews was bom Mary Goosen, and that she
married, first, Jan Stephenszen. Her children by this marriage are enumerated in her will and
are called variously — Peter Stevenson, John, Gosen and Isaac Stuyvesant and Hendrick
Jacobs. Her daughters are called Christian, wife of Robert Dorkins, Ryntie, wife of Guisbert
Guysbertse, and Janitie, wife of Thomas Roberts. She likewise mentions her grandchildren
Hester Erwin, Mar>'tie Gisbertse, and James Seabrook. The will of her second husband,
James Matthews, 1685, mentions his wife's children as Isaac and Peter Stevesant and Hendrick
Jacobson, all of whom he calls sons-in-law. He likewise mentions the three grandchildren
Hester Erwyn, Maria Gerritsen and James Seaborough. The will of Henry Jacobs, p. 239,
Vol. I, N. Y. Hist. Soc. Wills, leaves his estate to his wife, and son, Jacob Hendricks, and in the
event of their deaths, the same is to be inherited by Johannes Goesens, son of my deceased
brother Goesen Stevens, and to James, the son of Clement Seabra, and my sister Judith Stevens.
Seabra is phonetically Seaborough when tersely pronounced. If further evidence were wanting,
it would lie in the fact that the Janneckey Stevens, daughter of Mary (Goosen Stephenszen)
Matthews, had a license, June 3, 167 1, to marry William Envin, and as Janitie Erwin she had
a license to marr}', July 16, 1675, Clement Seabra. When Clement Seabra, Seaborough or
Seabrook died, she married Thomas Roberts for her third husband, and was living at the date
of her mother's will, and her two children, Hester Erwin and James Seabrook, half-sister and
brother, were under the care of their grandmother, Mary Matthews. Janitie, mentioned in the
will of Mary Matthews, I take it, is the Dutch name for Judith Stevens, w^hich appears in the
will of Henry Jacobs.
I have traced the issue of the various Stephenszen children, but I do not conceive that they
will be of any further interest here.
For verification of these statements, consult the printed New York Wills, N. Y. Marriage
Licenses, and the Dutch Church Record of Marriages and Baptisms, published by the N. Y.
Genealogical Society.

original proprietors of Stratford, by tradition, are reported to have been seventeen. The following large list

SEABROOK
OF
SOUTH CAROLINA
ROBERT SEABROOK, an English gentleman, of wealth, position and enterprise, came,
MHth a brother, Benjamin, family tradition puts it, from the County of Kent, England, to
Charleston, South Carohna, and settled, in 1682, on the Sea Islands, South of that city. As a
matter of fact, I have found no reference to any Benjamin Seabrook, contemporaneous with
Robert Seabrook, save Benjamin, the son of Robert Seabrook, who died, in 1716-17, in his
nineteenth 3'ear, and I am under the impression that, instead of settling on the Sea Islands,
Robert Seabrook, and his immediate family, located near what is now known as The Church
Flats, St. Paul's Parish, on the Stono River, four miles from Rantowles Station, which is fif-
teen miles from Charleston.
Here on the original site of the Parish Church of St. Paul, Robert Seabrook, his wife and
son are buried:
Here Lyes The Body of Mr. Robart Seabrook Dec'^ Dec'' y^ 7 1710 in y^ 59 year of His age

Two other unmarked stones stand in line with the above three.
The following stone is still erect :
In Memory of Mrs. Amerinthia Lowndes wife of Mr. Rawlins Lowndes of Charles Town who lies buried
here at her own particular desire near her deC" parents John Thomas and Mary Elliott of this parish. She
died the 14 of January 1750 aged 21 years
Upon what authority the date, 1682, is given for Robert Seabrook's settlement I do not
kno\v, but it may be derived from sources unknown, yet accurate.
The records and Bibles that would have shed light on the history of the family, were de-
stroyed during the Revolution, when they were Tories, and during the Rebellion, when they
were Secessionists. The Rev. Joseph B. Seabrook had progressed so far in his compilation of
the history of the famil)', that he brought with him and showed to Mrs. Henry Seabrook, of
SEABROOK OF SOUTH CAROLINA 261
Keyport, N. J., when visiting her in 1865, an extensive genealogy of the family, since lost.
This was during the Civil War.
The oldest records I have found, relating to Robert Seabrook, are in the earliest Book of
Wills, at Charleston, S. C:
"A Warr' to M^ Robert Seabrook, for one Towne Lott, (by Indenture), dated y' 26"" Sept., 1692, vnder
hand & Scale of Governo"' Ludwell."
"Received this 15"' May, 1697, of M"' Robert Seabrook, for the purchase of two thousand Seauen hun-
dred Acres of Land, in Colleton County, fifty foure pounds for the Right Honorable, the Lords Proprietors.
Thomas Cary, Receiver."
"Received this 16"" July, 1697, of M' Robert Seabrook, for the purchase of One hundred Acres of land,
fourty shillings for the Right Honorable, the lords Proprietors.
THOM.AS Cary, Receiver."
During the invasion of Charleston, by the French and Spanish, in 1706, he, "disregarding
the pestilence, yellow fever, marched his men into the town from the islands. The French were
ingloriously defeated. One ship was taken and between 200 and 300 prisoners, besides many
French and Spaniards killed." McCrady's History of South Carolina, 1897, Vol. i, p. 398.
Capt. Robert Seabrook was an active supporter of the Episcopal Church as were many of
his descendants.
In 1704, he was appointed one of the Commissioners to carry out "An Act for the Estab-
lishment of Religious VVorship in this Province according to the Church of England; and for
the Erecting of Churches for the public VVorship of God, and also for the Maintenance of Min-
isters, and the building convenient Houses for them. " This act was passed by the South Caro-
lina State Assembly, Nov. 4, 1704. Dalcho's History of the Episcopal Church in South Caro-
lina, p. 61. Pubhshed 1820.
In 1706, "Robert Seabrooke, of Colleton County, Esq*," was appointed sole executor of
the will of his son, John Seabrooke.
These few records are all that are known. The tombstones show that his wife, Sarah, was
seventeen years his junior, and that both died comparatively young. The climate and hard-
ships that they were subjected to, shortened the lives of many of the pioneers. Edisto Island,
particularly, was destined to curtail the lives of the Seabrooks, for it was malarious, and dysen-
tery frequently prevailed. There I noted that the majority of the tombstones recorded inter-
ments of people in their prime, many who were still youthful, and only a few of advanced years.

Island. Edisto Island, which lies off the coast, forty miles Southwest of Charleston, and John's
Island were, seemingly, later possessions of the Seabrooks. On James' Island, and the preced-
ing four islands, Seabrooks may be found in plenty today. In 1720, Robert Seabrook died,
without issue.

SEABROOK
OF
EDISTO ISLAND
Several lines of the Seabrook family are to be found on Edisto Island, S. C, the relation-
ship of which I have not yet determined. They descend from John, Gabriel and Benjamin
Seabrook. They were ardent Episcopalians.
1770, Apr. 7. The State .Assembly passed an act, appointing Commissioners to found a
Chapel of Ease,* on Edisto Island, and Joseph and John Seabrook were created two of them.
*"ChapeIs of Ease," according to the original meanirg of the term, are not now known in this country. In England, there
is a distinction between a Chapel of Ease and a Parochial Chapel of Ease. Chapels of Ease are founded for the convenience of
the people in large Parishes, in .Attending Public Worship, where they live at a distance from the Parish Church, to which, how-
ever, the Sacraments and Burials are restricted." Moore, p. 267.
SEABROOK OF EDISTO ISLAND 265
To aid in the erection of this building, the following amounts were subscribed :
John Seabrook $666., (£150).
Benjamin Seabrook $555., (£125).
Thomas B. Seabrook $444., (£100).
Joseph B. Seabrook $222., (£50).
Prior to 1774, when the church was built, Edisto was connected with the Parish Church, of
St. John's Island.
1804, Feb. 20. Benjamin Seabrook was a Delegate, from the Edisto Church, to the 17th
Convention of the Episcopal Church, in South Carolina, and to subsequent conventions in
1808, 1809 and 1 8 10, while in 181 3, Edisto Church was represented by Thomas B. Seabrook.
In 1812, the Church had twelve white and three colored communicants, and, 1815, there
were twenty white and five colored communicants.
Some of the Edisto Seabrooks were likewise Presbyterians.
The following epitaphs are copied from stones, standing in the yard of the Presbyterian
Church, on Edisto Island, and I think refer mostly to the descendants of Rich William Seabrook:
Mrs. Ann Seabrook died, Feb. 10, 1809, aged 40. "Erected by her eldest surviving son to the kindest
and best of mothers."
Mrs. Elizabeth Seabrook died, Feb. i, 1814, aged 20 years. Stone raised to her by her beloved brother.

There are monuments of public interest, fast going to decay, in the yard of the Presby-
terian Church, at Edisto Island, that I copied with a view to their ultimate preservation.
Sacred to the Memory of Joseph Russel, William Edings, William Bird, Timothy Hendrick and William
Whippy, who, in 1732, gave to this Church certain slaves.
Also of
William Cummings, James Clark, Mary Bee and Mary Russel, who, in the year 1740, gave to this Church
sundry sums, amounting to near £400, of the Currency of that time.
The preceding inscription appears on a single marble slab, like a tombstone, which is now used as a
stepping stone to the side entrance of the church, and is now nearly effaced. It also appears on the following
larger monument, as one of the inscriptions with which its four sides are covered:
This I Monument | is erected | by the unanimous consent | of the Corporation | of the | Presbyterian
Church I of Edisto Island | in testimony | of their gratitude | to the several Benefactors | of their Society |
March i'' | 1826.
Sacred | To the Memory of | John Bower | who in 171 7 endowed this Church | with a Tract of Land
containing | three hundred acres | Also of | Mr. WaUis | who about the year 1730 | gave to this Church a
Tract of | Land: for which in the year 1737 | it received as an equivalent | £2500.
Sacred | To the Memory of | Paul Hamilton | who between the years | 1732 & 1755 [or 1735] | gave to
this Church certain | Slaves, two Silver Tankards | for the use of the Commission | & £300:10 s.
Also of I James Lardant | who gave to this Church | certain Slaves and | £300 | between the years
1732 & 1735.
The glory of Edisto Island has departed and the old order of things is now a mere tradition.
The name of the master is perpetuated by his slaves, for his children have scattered far from the
hearth-side, in the struggle for existence. Where once was life and gaiety, there is now oppres-
sive solitude, and I was glad to escape, by Jack Miller's leaky sailboat, rather than wait for
the return of the small tug which calls at the island every second day. It was a somewhat
hazardous proceeding, for the sail was patched like a quilt and the boat soaked up water like a
sponge. When the vigorous efforts of three negroes and our two selves barely sufficed to keep
our feet dry, and we reproached him for it, he simply remarked "that the boat was a little

rectified, Boss. " At the end of two and one-half hours' sailing, in a stiff breeze, we came to
Yonge's Island, where we put up at the house of W. C. Garraty, who keeps the store, runs the
station and owns a fine truck farm. Here we were well cared for, modestly charged, and left
the next morning for Rantowles, where, at the station, we found the agent gloomily awaiting
his chill, and impressed with the belief that he would succumb, like his predecessors, to the
malarial scourge which infests the country for miles around.
John Seabrook, of Edisto Island, is buried in a small plot, on Edisto Island, which contains
half a dozen Seabrook stones and vaults, rapidly going to decay. The land, surrounding the
graveyard, is owned by a thrifty colored man, Ben Simmons, and his hogs are allowed to roam
within the former enclosure. It was this Ben Simmons who hired me his forlorn looking carriage,
at an exorbitant price, and gave us tasty food out of a varied and scant collection of old and
broken china. When asked whether any of John Seabrook's descendants still dwelt in this
locality, he bumptiously said : " de old folk dey are all gon, but some of the ancestors live here-
about. " The epitaphs on these stones are:

1 JOHN SEABROOK and SARAH SEABROOK were the parents of John Seabrook,
born in 1766, and of WiUiam Seabrook, born in 1772, and Mrs. Mary Ann Seabrook was the wife
of WUliam Seabrook, known as " Rich William. " This William Seabrook's relatives have inter-
married with the Pinckneys, Heywards, Gaillards and others of the best South Carolina blood.
2 "RICH WILLIAM SEABROOK," son of John Seabrook, i, "was one of the
wealthiest and noblest of the name." While he resided on Edisto Island, he owned much
land elsewhere, among other pieces, Seabrook Island, now the property of one of his grand-
sons. At one time, he owned over one thousand slaves.
In 1825, he entertained Lafayette, who, while his guest, stood godfather for his daughter,
Caroline Lafayette Seabrook, at her baptism. His residence, still standing on Edisto Island,
is marked with the letters W S in the house railing, and is distinguished thus from the house of
his son, William Seabrook, which was the most pretentious one on the Island in its day. It is
occupied by his grandson, Marcellus Seabrook, aged about fifty years, a gracious, cultured and
refined man, who now supervises the estate for a Charleston lawyer, by the name of Smith.
Rich WiUiam Seabrook married, first. Miss Mikell; second, Emma Edings. He died in
1836.

3 WILLIAM SEABROOK, son of William Seabrook, 2, inherited his father's wealth.
He built, upon Edisto Island, an extremely spacious and elegant house, and sent to England
for the landscape gardener, Thompson, who came and laid out his lands, at an expense of $30,000.
Thompson made his home here, and, I am told, left his fortune of $100,000., to Charleston,
which has perpetuated his memory in calling the auditorium after him.
The fish pond was also a great feature on the old plantation, from which, at command,
fish were drawn. Now, it is simply indicated by a depression, overgrown with weeds, and the
famous gardens are now a mere suggestion. The fine house that he built was despoiled of its
furnishings, and gutted, even of its mahogan}- woodwork, during the recent Rebellion, when a
sloop sailed directly to its doors and took away everything of value.
William Seabrook, as he appears in a photograph owned by his grandson, Mitchell Sea-
brook, taken when he was about sixty years of age, was a large, portly man ; bald, with a cheery
kindly face, finely dressed. Photographs of his famous gardens are owned by Mrs. Hopkinson.
With the War, his fortune was entirely swept away, and his widow spent her declining days in a
home for the impoverished ladies of Charleston, founded by the labors of a reverend gentleman,
of that city.
Both William Seabrook and his father married sisters, Edings [?], the father having had
previous wives. His great house is now occupied by his grandson, Mitchell Seabrook, who is
aged about thirty-five years, polite, intelligent and refined.

William Seabrook
There died in this city yesterday, at the early age of 40, William Seabrook, a gentleman who possessed
the high regard and esteem of all who knew him.
Wilham Seabrook was the son of George Washington Seabrook, and was reared on Edisto. He graduated
at the S. C. College during President Thornwell's administration, taught school at Bluffton and in Charles-
ton, was admitted to the Bar in 1869, and elected corporation counsel last year.
Throughout his brief Hfe he was always a useful man, devoting himself to the interests of others to the
utter forgetfulness of self; diligent and patient in his pursuits, conscientious in all things, earnest and generous
in character, and of so rare a modesty that his few intimates were allowed only an occasional ghmpse of his
many attainments.
He was proficient in classical learning, exact in scholarship and of wide professional knowledge. He
enjoyed the confidence of his associates at the Bar, and attained the honorable position he lately occupied
without seeking it by political arts. [May 13, 1878?]

Sarah Bailey; second, Lydia Bailey, widow of Mr. Whaley; third, Martha Catharine Beckett,
living in 1881. He started to make a genealogical investigation of the Seabrook family, and
collected a large amount of data, which was destroyed during the late Rebellion. This data he
brought with him and showed it to Mrs. Henry Seabrook, of Kej^ort, N. J., when visiting her,
about 1860-1865.
"Joseph Baynard Seabrook was violently opposed to the late War, and being a man who
spoke out boldly and fearlessly his mind on all subjects, did not remain silent here, where
he thought so much was at stake. He invariably prophesied failure, therefore was looked upon
coldly by his more hot-headed relatives and friends. But, like a true patriot, went with his
state, gave his sons and what of his substance was needed, cast in all, and, like the rest, lost all."
Letter of Mrs. Joseph B. Seabrook, (Mrs. Martha C. Seabrook), Charleston, S. C, June 19, 1878.
From the New York Observer.
Rev. Dr. Seabrook, of Charleston, gave me a very interesting account of his labors among the colored
people. He is a minister of the Episcopal Church, of one of the old, wealthy families of South Carolina, for-
merly a slaveholder himself. Now he is one of the many whose fortunes were lost in the gulf of war. But he
continues to preach to the colored people, as he has long done, and he has an attached and faithful people,
unable to give him a salary, but he gives them all the energy of his soul and life, to train them for usefulness
and glory. Of such is the KLingdom of Heaven. Irenaeus.
Rev. Joseph B. Seabrook.
After a brief illness of ten days, the Rev. Jos. B. Seabrook, for several years past the rector of St. Mark's
Church and the Superintendent of the city Public Schools, died at his residence, in Spring Street, in this city,
yesterday morning. Mr. Seabrook was born October 10, 1809, on Edisto Island, and was, consequently, at the
time of his death, in the 68th year of his age. He graduated at Princeton College; studied law under Hugh S.
Legare, and was admitted to the Bar soon after graduating. In consequence of ill health, he abandoned the
law, and betook himself to planting and teaching. Subsequently he conceived the desire to enter the ministry,
and was ordained to the ministrj^ of the Episcopal Church, in 1848. His labors in this field were chiefly among
the colored people — a work to which he believed himself called by Divine Providence, — and to which he devoted
himself wth untiring zeal to the day of his death. At his own e.xpense, he erected a church, at Bluffton, in 1849,
and another, at St. Paul's Parish, in 1859. During his life he accomplished great good, as an educator, and, so
great was his zeal and enthusiasm on this subject, that he educated a large number of poor boys at his own ex-
pense. During the War, he was pastor of Grace Church, and the close of the War found him at his post.
Shortly afterwards, he was called to the rectorship of St. Mark's Church, which position he filled up to the time
of his death. About three years ago, he was chosen Superintendent of the Public Schools of the city, which po-
sition he filled with satisfaction to the public. In respect to the memory of the deceased, the public schools
were closed yesterday, by order of the Board of Commissioners, and will remain closed until after the funeral
services, which will take place from St. Mark's Church, at 1 1 o'clock this morning.
Late Rev. J. B. Seabrook. — The funeral services of this reverend gentlernan, the rector of St. Mark's
Church, and Superintendent of the public schools of the city, were held yesterday morning, at 11 A. M., at
St. Mark's Church. The attendance on the part of the devoted and deeply affected congregation, prominent
citizens and clergymen was very large. The Rev. Messrs. Prentiss, Hanckel, Green, Welsh, Steele and Whaley
were present in the chancel, and conducted the services, the former clergymen preaching a discourse happily
adapted to the occasion. The rich floral offerings heaped upon the coffin showed the regard in which the de-
ceased was held by his congregation and friends. After the services, the remains were conveyed to Magnolia
Cemetery for interment. The pall-bearers, six in number, were the vestrymen of the church.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
The South CaroHna Seabrooks were, generally, opulent and well educated. Among them
were lawyers, physicians, clergymen and many college-bred men. During the late unfortunate
war between the states, many of them died for the cause they served and believed right. Of
six Seabrooks, all officers, who were in the Virginia campaign, five are lying there today, one a
brother of Robert E. Seabrook. Many were large planters of rice and Sea Island cotton, and
became very rich men, but the war sadly wrecked their estates, and now they are working hard
for a living. Letter of Robert E. Seabrook.
276 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
Robert E. Seabrook, schoolmaster, residing in Charleston, married, but without issue, has
perhaps, given more time to compiling the history of the Seabrook family than any one else.
When I called upon him, he was absent upon his summer vacation. Such data as I present here,
no doubt, could be much enriched by his knowledge.
One of the Seabrooks sent his son, Thomas, to Europe for travel and study. Upon his re-
turn, his father asked him what he Hked most while abroad, and he replied, "Paris, father."
"I'll buy it for you, my son, I'll buy it for you," was his rejoinder.
Polly Seabrook, cousin of Martha, wife of William Seabrook, died aged over one hundred
years. She told Mrs. Seabrook, who gave the information to me, in 1899, that several brothers,
by the name of Seabrook, came, jointly, to America, and settled;one, each, in New York, Vir-
ginia and South Carolina. Existing records do not bear out this tradition.
" communication is difficult, never as easy as at the North, but singularly difficult
now, for the war laid waste and desolated the coast of South CaroHna in a fearful manner. The
lands have all changed hands and the former masters are dead; their children feebly stri\'ing
to keep soul and body together. Perhaps our sins have found us out. God only knows who was
most to blame. That must be left to wiser heads than ours to decide, but a fearful trouble has
fallen on all. " Letter of Mrs. Joseph B. Seabrook, June 19, 1878.
In 1782, the estate of Joseph Seabrooke, of South Carolina, was amerced twelve per cent.
There is reason to believe that, at the outset, he was a Whig.
Joseph Seabrooke, Jr., of South Carolina, was in office, under the Crowm, after the surrender
of Charleston. His property was confiscated. Sabine's Royalists in the Revolutionary War.
General Richard Jenkins, who was killed at the Battle of the Wilderness, was the son of a
Seabrook mother.
In 1845, Everardus Whalley Seabrook was a graduate of Harvard.

MISS ODETTE TYLER MARRIED.
The Actress is Now the Wife of Mr.
Rezin D. Shepherd, of Shepherdstown, W. Va.
[By Telegraph to the New York Herald.]
Shepherdstown, W. Va., April 27, 1897. — Mr. Rezin Davis Shepherd and his bride who was Miss Eliza-
beth Lee Kirkland, daughter of General William W. Kirkland, better known by her stage name of Odette Tyler,
arrived here this afternoon, and will spend part of their honeymoon at Mr. Shepherd's country home, Wild
Goose Farm.
Miss Kirkland and Mr. Shepherd were married by the Rev. Dr. Roderick Terry in New York on April i.
The first public announcement of the event was made in the Shepherdstown register last Thursday, Mr.
Shepherd having communicated the news in a letter to his mother, who resides here.
Mr. Shepherd was a widower at the time of his marriage. His first wife was the well known actress, Marie
Prescott, who died in New York city in August, 1893, after Little more than a year of married life. Mr. Shep-
herd himself was an actor, appearing under the name of McLean, as the leading man in Miss Prescott's com-
pany. He has not been on the stage since her death.
Mr. Shepherd comes of an old and distinguished Virginian family, his ancestors being the founders of
this town which bears their name. He is about thirty-eight years old, and is the eldest son of the late Colonel
Henry Shepherd, who was the wealthiest man, probably, in this county. From his father he inherited a con-
siderable fortune, including the estate of about four hundred acres of land known as Wild Goose Farm, which is
the finest country seat in this section.
The Shepherds were very prominent in business circles in New Orleans years ago, and are related to the
Brookses, of Boston.
Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd were warmly received here by his mother and brother. They will remain at
Wild Goose Farm until Thurdsay evening, when they will go to New York. On Saturday they will sail for
Europe. Mrs. Shepherd will till her contract to play a three weeks' engagement in "Secret Service " in London.
282 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
They will then return to the United States, and it is their present intention to settle at Wild Goose Farm, and
Mrs. Shepherd says she will not go upon the stage again.
Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd desired that their marriage should be kept secret until they had sailed for Europe,
on Saturday, and requested that no announcement should be made until Sunday next.
17 CAPT. MOSES SHEPHERD, son of Joseph Shepherd, 2, was not qmte twenty-one
when he married Rebecca, daughter of John and Mercy (Burrows) StillweU, by license dated
Mch. 23, 1767, and she was not quite twenty-five. He died Nov. 16, 1819, and his wife, Rebecca,
died, Nov. 2, 1839, aged 98 years, i month and 26 days. They are interred in the StillweU
graveyard, on the Joseph Field farm, on the turnpike between Middletown and Red Bank.
Capt. Moses Shepherd was a Revolutionary officer, and served eight years in the Revolu-
tionary War. Just after the Revolution, he built a house, which is now standing, (1890), next
to EUas Conover's farm on the road to Red Bank.
Rebecca StiUweU, wife of Capt. Moses Shepherd, worshiped her brother, Joseph StiUwell,
her father, and the Rev. Abel Morgan, "her trinity." Joseph StillweU esteemed her judgment,
and rode more than once from Trenton, where he was a member of the Legislature, to her home,
to obtain her views on matters of public moment.

July 16, 1750, and died, in Ohio, in 1834.
He served in the Revolution as Sergeant; fought in the Battle of Monmouth, and was con-
fined, as a prisoner of war, in the Provost's prison. WhUe there he suffered from poor food and
cold, and waking one morning, found a dead man on either side of him. He twice escaped from
the British soldiers, only to be recaptured, and his descendants stiU teU of his adventures and
hairbieadth escapes.
His great-grandson, S. M. Schanck, Esq., of Hightstown, N. J., says that Capt. EUsha
Shepherd was taken prisoner, at Colt's Neck, by Capt. Tye, and imprisoned in the Hangman's
Jail, afterwards the Hall of Records, New York City. In an effort to recapture EUsha Shepherd,
the lamented Dr. and Col. Forman, if I remember rightly, were kiUed.
"EUsha Shepherd was tall and slender, with blue eyes, square forehead, nose incUned to
Roman, and a sUght catch in his speech when excited. He was a great reader, was kind and
affectionate, and very neat."

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
Mrs. Mary E. Shepherd, of Middletown, N. J., said "The ancestor came from the clothing
district of England." That the Shepherds were Irish, i. e., those spelling it Shepard, and that
one of them, from West Jersey, got the full Shepherd family historj- some years ago, (1890).
Mrs. Shepherd also said that tradition says that John, Thomas and Joseph Shepherd were
the first comers to America. One settled in New England; one in West Jersey and one in Middle-
town.
"I have found descendants of one of these four brothers: David, John, James and Thomas
— viz., of Thomas. He had a wife, Ann, sons, David and Moses, and daughters, who married
Joseph Shepherd and Silas Irland. Thomas died in 1 739. His descendants are the Shepherds
of Penn Yan, and the late Prof. Nathan Shepherd, of Saratoga Springs." Letters of Mr.
E. N. Shepherd, in 1889, 649 Jersey Ave., Jersey City, N. J.
288 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
Thomas Shepherd had sons:
John
Joseph
Thomas
Ebenezer See Wyman's Charlestown Estates.
Thomas Shepherd did not go back to Boston. "I could never see any connection wath the
Salem County family." Mr. E. N. Shepherd.
While there is some doubt as to the degree, there can hardly arise a doubt as to the fact
of kinship between the early Shepherds and Shephards in this country. The great similarity of
given names: Thomas, Moses, Ebenezer, used alike by them all, would force one to this conclu-
sion, even if other evidence were wanting.
For further study of this family see Shourd's History of Fenwick's Colony, and Savage's
New England Genealogical Dictionary.
John Shepherd, born in Halifax, had a sister, Theresa, wife of a Gov.-General, of Halifax.
He (i. e. John Shepherd), married Hannah Neat, of South Carolina. He was confidential
dispatch bearer to Washington, while at the headquarters, in Newburgh, N. Y. He had a son,
John, bom, in the old house, June 13, 1777. This son became Alderman of 5th Ward, New York
City, 1824-25. He married Hannah, daughter of Silas Barber, whose wife was Miss Klein, of
Utica, N. Y. John and Hannah Shepherd had several children, among them Silas, who married
Mary E. Shepherd, 55, of Middletown. These Shepherd families were not related. Both John
Shepherd and Silas Barber fought at Bunker HiU, and the former also at Lexington.
SPICER
OF
NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY
THOMAS SPICER, an Englishman, was residing, in Newport, R. I., July i6, 1638, where
he signed the Civil Compact. Bartlett's Rhode Island Records, Vol. I, p. 70.
In 1642, he was of Portsmouth, R. I., where he was chosen to lay out the town and become
its Treasurer. Bartlett's Rhode Island Records, Vol. I, p. 102.
It is said that Samuel Spicer was of the party, led by Lady Moody, from New England to
New Amsterdam, and who received from the Dutch permission to settle Gravesend, on Long
Island. Thompson's History of Long Island.
Such is not the case. No Spicer came with Lady Moody. The first of the name was
Thomas Spicer, and Samuel Spicer was his son.
Thomas Spicer was one of the thirty-five Associates, who settled on Throg's Neck, with
John Throckmorton. When Throckmorton's settlement was destroyed by the Indians, the
survivors, among them Thomas Spicer and his family, found their way to the fort and settle-
ment of New Amsterdam. Here they were when Lady Moody and her party arrived from New
England. Stuyvesant gave her and her associates a patent, for land on Long Island, Dec. 19,
1645, and Feb. 20, 1646, a planter's lot, in this new settlement of Gravesend, was assigned to
Thomas Spicer.
1643, Jvme 25. Thomas Spicer leased from Arent Van Curler, Secretary of Rensselaerswyck,
a bouwery, with a house, bam, tobacco house, etc., with an inventory of what Mr. Van Curler
deUvered to Mr. Spicer. New York Dutch Manuscripts.
1644, July 8. Court proceedings. Mr. Moor vs Mr. Spicer.
In a case of attachment, on a bark belonging to Peter Lourensen and Mr. Throckmorton,
Lourensen is condemned to deliver the bark to Spicer agreeably to the power of attorney, on
condition that the latter give security for the value of the vessel, in case Mr. Moor hereafter
proves that the owner is indebted to him, when the money must be returned.
1645, Sept. 21. Francis Weeks sued Mr. Spicer for the loss of a gun: judgment for the
defendant.
1645, Oct. 23. Declaration of Adam Mott that he heard William Lachem acknowledge
to owe 50 guilders to Tho' Spicer.

him out of his land, threatens his hfe, abuses him as a rogue & villian and shot one of his goats.
The Court decrees that the first time Tho^ Spicer, or any of his neighbors, are insulted, defend-
ant shall be banished from the Plain; the damage complained of to be assessed by the arbi-
trators.

1653, March. Martin Jansen, from Bruckelen, pltf. vs Elbert Elbertsen, W"". Gerritsen,
Jacob Pietersen, Elcke Jansen and Gertie Jacobs, defts.
Plft. demands evidence of the truth of what defts. heard of the slander uttered against him,
by Mr. Spicer's wife. Defts., appearing in court, gave their testimony, yet without deposing
anything of moment. Martin Jansen requests by petition that since, in the matter between him
and Mr. Spicer, about the lands, cannot, through Mr. Spicer's fault, be settled by arbitration,
that their worships would please refer it to two of their board, with costs to be paid by the loser.
Petition granted.
April, 1653. Respecting the dispute between Martin Jansen and Mr. Tho' Spicer, the ar-
bitrators agree that:
1. Tho' Spycer consents that Martin Jansen shall have the use of the fields for his horses as he intends
to ride to the ferry.
2. Spycer shall deliver a rear and front rail in the waggon.
3. Spycer shall more over deliver one good lock for the door of the dwelling house.
4. and lastly Martin Jansen may build a brew house, and an oven, on the bowery, and remove them at
the expiration of the lease; or otherwise they shall remain at the pleasure of Tho" Spicer, provided that said
Jansen be paid for them according to appraisal of arbitrators; also Jansen agrees to keep the premises in good
repair.

To the town of Gravesend, he made a bequest for the repairs of the highway.
Executors: His wife, Machiel, and his son, Samuel.
Mical, the scriptural name with which Thomas Spicer's wife was burdened, has been a
source of considerable confusion to genealogists, appearing as it does in many forms of SDelling.
Bergen, in his work on Kings County, calls her Michael, and makes her, her husband's son.
1661, Feb. 17. Proceedings against Mrs. Micah Spicer for entertaining George Wilson, a
Quaker.
1662, Oct. 5. Sentence of banishment against Michal Spicer and Samuel, her son, for

heresy.
"Michale Spicer and her son, Samuel, had suffered much for truth, especially Samuel, who
had suffered sore imprisonment, even unto death, and much spoiling of their goods, (at Graves-
end by the Dutch)." Bishop's "New England Judged," p. 423; also quoted by other authors,
copying from Bishop, and, perhaps, noticed by Besse, in "Suffering of the Quakers," and
Sewall's "History of the Quakers."
1665, Nov. 25. Micah Spicer, for 125 guilders wampum value, sold the property, now
known as Bergen's Island, in Flatlands, to Elbert Elbertse Stoothoof ; and again, she conveyed
her house and lot, in Gravesend, to Carston Johnson.
"In 1669, thirty acres of land, on Throckmorton's neck, were granted to Mrs. Micah Spicer."
Upon the 12 of January, 1686, Spicer's and Brockett's Necks, (commonly called the Grove farm),
were confirmed by letters patent, under the great seal of the Province, to Thomas Hunt, etc.
The Spicers and Brockets were doubtless some of the associates of John Throckmorton.
At a Court of Assizes, held November 15, 1669, Mrs. Micah Spicer sued for thirty acres of

2 SAMUEL SPICER, son of Thomas Spicer, i, was, probably, bom, in Rhode Island,
about 1640. He was a landholder, in Gravesend, in 1656, wliich implies he had reached at least
the age of sixteen years — for this was the age at which youths were expected to take up arms and
which brought with it citizens' rights.
His name frequently appears on the records as arbitrator, executor, witness, etc.
In 1658, he was an executor of his father's will.
1661, Jan. 9. Samuel Spicer was arrested; Jan. 13, indicted; and Jan. 20, "Tried and sen-
tenced as a Quaier" ; fine £12.
In the Monmouth Patent, in 1664, he is mentioned as a Patentee. He received two allot-
ments of land, in Middletown, in the first division of lands, which occurred in 1667.
1670, 29, 4 mo. Samuel Spicer was one of the representatives from Gravesend, in settling

1684, Nov. II. A warrant was issued, appointing Samuel Spicer and others, a committee
to inspect and audit the accounts of the Sheriffs, of Long Island, since 1674, and also of all fines,
rates and public fees, etc., and to make return thereof to his Excellency before the first Monday
of November next.
1685, Mch. 25, Oct. 9, and Oct. 20. He was then of Gravesend.
In the spring and fall of 1685, he made three or more considerable sales of his property,
in Gravesend, and at the same time purchased from Samuel Cole, a large tract, situated in what
is now known as Stockton township, Camden Coimty, N. J. This property was described as
"lying on the North Side of Cooper's Creek and fronting on the Delaware," and the purchaser
thereof was then of Gravesend, L. I. This last property of Spicers was directly in the line of
most travel, to accommodate which, he estabUshed a ferry — ^primitive in the extreme and con-
sisting of one flat bottomed boat — which served, however, for the needs of that day, and was
known for years afterwards as Spicer's Ferr}^
In 1687-8, he was executor to the will of John Tilton.
In 1687, he was appointed one of the Judges of the Courts of Gloucester County, and also
to positions of minor importance.
"At a Court held at Portland Point, [Middletown, Monmouth County, N. J.J, Nov. 2,
1689, William and James Bowne, of the town of Middletown, were appointed to act as Paten-
SPICER OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY 293

"There is no authentic account at what time he studied law, but it is likely before he left his native
state. Tradition says he resided a few years near Mullica Hill, Gloucester County, where he owned a
large quantity of land. A portion of it is now owned by John W. Hazleton. Jacob Spicer's house stood
near the King's Highway, running from Salem to Burlington. Spicer in a few years removed to Cape May
County and made that county his permanent home. He was active in the affairs of West Jersey, and he
and Jonathan Leaming wrote a work on the laws of West Jersey. It is often referred to by the professional
legal men from that time to the present day. Jacob Spicer died, near Cold Spring Inlet, Cape May County,
17th 4mo., 1741, aged about 73 years, and was buried in the Presbyterian Graveyard near that place. "f

of Haddonfield, N. J., 1877; pp. 293 to 300.

torical and genealogical article on Cape May County, by Dr. Maurice Beesley. See pp. 164,
173, 178-9, 180-1, 185, 186, 190, 191, 193, 194, 198, 203 and 205.
For Peter Spicer, of New London, in 1 666, and family, see Savage ; they are, apparently, no kin.
"Peter Spicer died, probably, in 1695. He was one of the resident farmers in that part of
the township which is now Ledyard. We find him a landholder, in 1666. The mventory of his
estate was presented to the Judge of probate, by his wife, in 1695. From her settlement of the
estate, it would appear that the children were Edward, Samuel, Peter, William, Joseph, Abigail,
Ruth, Hannah and Jane. Capt. Abel Spicer, of the Revolutionary Army, was of this family."
From "History of New London, Conn.," by N. M. Caulkins, p. 335.
Of Jacob Spicer, who was of Gravesend, in 1656, of Flatlands, in 1684, and again, of Graves-
end, in 1691, we have no positive information. He is not mentioned in the will of Thomas
Spicer, the First, and therefore seems more likely to have been his brother than his son; that he
was closely related there can be no doubt.
STOUT
MONMOUTH COUNTY^
1 RICHARD STOUT, an early settler in this country and the founder of the large family
bearing his name, was reputed the son of John Stout, of Nottmghamshire, England. Tradition
has it that he left England because of friction with his father, who interfered mth his love
affairs, which drove him to engage on a man-of-war for seven years, at the end of which time he
received his discharge at New Amsterdam. The tradition may be truthful, but if the printed
statement is correct that he was forty years of age when he married Penelope Van Princis, after
allowing seven years for ship service and three additional years between his discharge and mar-
riage, he would stUl have been about thirty years old when this rupture occurred, an age when
parental intrusion and discipline in love affairs is hardly hkely, but if so, might have been re-
sented in the manner accredited to him. The assertion that Richard Stout was of "good
family," which implies social caste, and that the cause of the disturbance between father and
son was a threatened misaUiance also may be true, but we have no proof of the social position
of John Stout, and as an argument against it there is the fact that Richard Stout, his son, was
not an educated man, when education was common. The answer to this is the presiunption
that Richard Stout was probably a headstrong character, not hkely to be coerced into scholarl}'
attainments. These statements, and more, are set forth in certain pubhshed articles concerning
the Stout family, in which Penelope, the wife of Richard, is a conspicuous figure. The first
of these to appear was the account printed in Samuel Smith's History of New Jersey, pub-
lished at Burlington, N. J., in 1765. A second version appeared in print in Morgan Edwards'
Materials Towards A History Of The Baptists in Jersey, pubhshed in 1792. These two
versions have much in common, but are still so dissimilar that it is evident that their sources
of origin were totally different. Edwards projected A History of the American Baptists, in a
series of twelve state Baptist church histories. The first of these was pubhshed in 1770, on Penn-
sylvania. Then came a long gap, doubtless largely occasioned by the War, and then
appeared, in 1792, the volume on New Jersey. None followed, as it was a losing venture
to the author, though the price was put at one-fourth of one dollar each and the issue hmited
to five himdred copies. His complaint about neglect was well founded, when the modest
♦Occasional efforts have been made to compile a genealogy of the Stout family, but in nearly all instances it has been re-
stricted to a single branch. The greatness of the undertaking will probably continue to deter all but an enthusiastic genealogist
from ever undertaking such a work, which must grow more difficult with time. Such incomplete data as I have brought together
will, however, be of some assistance if one is ever imdertaken. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of all the names, dates and state-
ments, but believe in the main that they are correct.

charge and the labor were considered, but he had entered a field, then as now, unappre-
ciated except by the few historical and genealogical students. While his second volume was
pubKshed in 1792, the preface shows that the work was finished by the writer May i, 1790,
and no doubt its compilation took some years. Exactly how long can only be surmised, but as
the article on the Stouts, (under the church at Hopewell), was contributed by the Rev. Ohver
Hart to Mr. Edwards, and as his incumbency as pastor of the Hopewell church dates from
Dec. 16, 1780, it could not have antedated this year 1780, but probably was written between
1785 and 1789.
It is from these two sources that later historians, writers and genealogists largely derive
their information. Benedict, in his History of the Baptists, edition of 1813, (Vol. I, pp. 573-
574), draws entirely from Morgan Edwards, as does Barber's Historical Collections of New
Jersey, edition of 1868, pp. 259-260. Raum too, in his History of Trenton, N. J., 1871, pp. 58-
59, follows the Edwards text, but misleads in stating that he gives the narrative verbatim.
This he does not do, for a superficial comparison shows an embellished text, which, with the
erroneous statement that the book was pubUshed in 1790, when it was reaUy printed in 1792,
leads one to seek another pubHcation when one does not really exist.
The Smith and Edwards pubUcations are reproduced here verbatim, being necessary for a
proper appreciation of the dates involved. That the tradition concerning Penelope Stout's
experience with the Indians is true is, to my mind, as certain as that man now exists. Her
hardiness to have outhved, for eighty-four years, her mutilation at the hands of the Indians,
her extraordinary longevity reaching one hundred and ten years, and her enormous progeny,
would tend to make her a much-talked-of individual, and Smith, who wrote concerning her,
less than thirty-three years after her death, must have met many who knew her in life, and Ed-
wards was not far behind him in chronicling the same tale from other sources. Then, we have
the remarkable verification of her scars by her descendants, as given by Mrs. Seabrook. Surely
there is no room for doubt, and though some seemingly fanciful accretions may have accumu-
lated around the story in time, they are more likely to be facts with misplaced dates, such as the
episode of the Indian aiding her escape in the threatened uprising, rather than actual errors.
CAfE OF A fTRANGER, REMARKABLY fAVED AMONG THE INDIANS.
While New York was in poffeffion of the Dutch, about the time of the Indian war in New-England, a
Dutch fhip coming from Amfterdam, was ftranded on Sandy Hook, ^ but the paffengers got on fhore; among
them was a young Dutchman who had been fick moft of the voyage; he was taken fo bad after landing, that
he could not travel; and the other paffengers being afraid of the Indians, would not ftay till he recovered, b.ut
made what hafte they could to New Amfterdam; his wife however would not leave him, the reft promifed to
fend as foon as they arrived: They had not been long gone, before a company of Indians coming down to the
water fide, difcovered them on the beach, and haftening to the fpot, foon killed the man, and cut and mangled
the woman in fuch a manner that they left her for dead. She had ftrength enough to crawl up to fome old
logs not far diftant, and getting into a hollow one, lived moftly in it for feveral days, fubfifting in part by the
excrefcences that grew from it; the Indians had left fome fire On the fhore, which fhe kept together for warmth:
having remained in this manner for fome time, an old Indian and a young one coming down to the beach foimd
her; they were foon in high words, which fhe afterwards underftood was a difpute; the former being for keeping
her alive, the other for difpatching: After they had debated the point a while, the firft haftily took her up,
and toffing her upon his fhoulder, carried her to a place near where Middletown now ftands, where he dreffed
her wounds and foon cured her: After fome time the Dutch in New-Amfterdam hearing of a white woman
among the Indians, concluded who it muft be and fome of them came to her relief; the old man her preferver,
gave her the choice either to go or ftay; fhe chofe the firft: A while after marrying to one Stout, they lived
together at Middletown among other Dutch inhabitants; the old Indian who faved her life, ufed frequently to
vifit her; at one of his vifits fhe obferved him to be more penfive than common, and fitting down he gave three
heavy fighs; after the laft fhe thought herfelf at liberty to afk him what was the matter? He told her he had
STOUT OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 297
fomething to tell her in friendfhip, tho' at the rifk of his own life, which was, that the Indians were that night
to kill all the whites, and advifed her to go o5 for New-Amfterdam; fhe afked him how fhe could get ofi? he
told her he had provided a canoe at a place which he named: Being gone from her, fhe fent for her hufband
out of the field, and difcovered the matter to him, who not believing it, fhe told him the old man never deceived
her, and that fhe with her children would go; accordingly going to the place appointed, they found the canoe
and paddled off. When they were gone, the hufband began to confider the thing, and fending for five or fix
of his neighbours, they fet upon their guard: About midnight they heard the difmal war-hoop; prefently
came up a company of Indians; they firft expoftulated, and then told them, if they perfifted in their bloody
defign, they would fell their lives very dear: Their arguments prevailed, the Indians defifted, and entered into
a league of peace, which was kept without violation. From this woman, thus remarkably faved, with her fears
vifible, through a long life, is defcended a numerous pofterity of the name of Stout, now inhabiting New-
Jerfey: At that time there were fuppofed to be about fifty faroilies of white people, and five hundred Indians
inhabiting thofe parts.

The family of the Stouts are so remarkable for their number, origin and character in both church and state
that I cannot forbear bestowing a post-script upon them; and no place can be so proper as that of Hopewell,
where the bulk of the family resides. We have already seen that Jonathan Stout and family were the seed of
Hopewell church, and the beginning of Hopewell settlement ; and that of the 1 5 which constituted the church,
nine were Stouts: the church was constituted at the house of a Stout; and the meetings were held chiefly at
the dwellings of the Stouts for 41 years, viz. from the beginning of the settlement to the building of the meeting-
house, before described. Mr. Hart is of the opinion "That from first to last, half the members have been and
are of that name; for, in looking over the church book, (saithhe), I find that near two hundred of the name
have been added; besides about as many more of the blood of the Stouts, who had lost the name by marriages:
the present two deacons and four elders, are Stouts: the late Zebulon and David Stout were two of its main
pillars: the last lived to see his offspring multiplied into a himdred and 17 souls." The origin of this Baptist
family is no less remarkable; for they all sprang from one woman, and she as good as dead: her history is in
the mouths of her posterity, and is told as follows: "She was born at Amsterdam, about the year 1602: her
father's name was Vanprincis: she and her first husband, (whose name is not knowTi), sailed for New- York,
(then New Amsterdam), about the year 1620: the vessel was stranded at Sandy Hook: the crew got ashore,
and marched towards said New York: but Penelope's (for that was her name) husband being hurt in the
wreck, could not march with them; therefore, he and the wife tarried in the woods: they had not been long
in the place before the Indians killed them both, (as they tho't), and stripped them to the skin: however,
Penelope came to, tho' her skull was fractured, and her left shoulder so hacked that she could never use that
arm hke the other: she was also cut across the abdomen so that her bowels appeared; these she kept in with
her hand : she continued in this situation for seven days taking shelter in a hollow tree, and eating the excres-
cence of it: the seventh day she saw a deer passing by with arrows sticking in it; and soon after two Indians
appeared, whom she was glad to see, in hope they would put her out of her misery; accordingly, one made
towards her to knock her on the head; but the other (who was an elderly man) prevented him; and throwing
his match-coat about her, carried her to his wigwam, and cured her of her wounds and bruises; after that he
took her to New York, and made a present of her to her countrymen, viz. an Indian present, expecting ten
times the value in return It was in New York that one Richard Stout married her: he was a native of
Old England, and of a good family: she was now in her 2 2d year; and he in his 40th: she bore him seven
sons and three daughters, viz. Jonathan, (founder of Hopewell), John, Richard, James, Peter, David, Benjamin,
Mary, Sarah, and Alice: the daughters married into the families of the Bounds, Pikes, Throgmortons and
Skeltons, and so lost the name of Stout: the sons married into the families of Bullen, Crawford, Ashton,
Truax; these had many children; but I could not come at the names of the families into which the other
brothers married. The mother lived to the age of no, and saw her offspring multiplied into 502 in about 88
years." Morgan Edwards' Materials Towards A History Of The Baptists in Jersey.
We may pass Bergen, (Early Settlers of King's County, pp. 286-287), who quotes Raum
and cavils at the accuracy of the tradition, and Franklin Ellis, (History of Monmouth County,
N. J., pp. 66-68), who follows Smith and Edwards, and, while properly taking exception to
palpable errors in dates, is in error himself when he criticises the Indian attitude, which, at
times, was intensely hostile. With Sailer and Stockton following Smith and Edwards, we may
now close the list. These printed histories are reinforced by manuscript histories and oral
298 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
traditions. Of these, a manuscript history of the Stouts was made, in 1823, by Nathan Stout.
It was from a copy of this work, made by Mr. Joseph D. Hoff, of Middletown, N. J., in 1885,
that I made a copy in 1892, which so far as the genealogy goes, is incorporated, as far as possible,
in corrected shape, in the following contributions to the Stout family history. The narrative
concerning Penelope Stout, which was the introduction to this manuscript family history, is
produced in its original language further on, and is practically the same as those that have
appeared in print.
Of the oral traditions, those derived from the late Mrs. Henry Seabrook, of Keyport, nee
Therese WaUing, are, doubtless, the most accurate, original and entertaining. Mrs. Seabrook
was an intellectually gifted woman, steeped in local genealogical lore, derived from her great
ancestors. Upon their laps she sat when young, or with the assembled elders at the nearby
hearthside, to be entertained by their constant repetitions of tales of exposure, hardship, love
and war. The old are garrulous, live in the past, deUght in the yoimg, and with contracted lives
and thought they become the local historians of the past to yoimg but willing ears, upon whose
excited imagination the stories remain indeUbly impressed. Thus it was that Mrs. Seabrook
passed onward the tales of her childhood. Perhaps the most important of these was the follow-
ing:
"My grandmother, Helena Huff, told me how her grandfather, John Stout, had felt the wounds of Penel-
ope Stout, and that he blushed like a school boy. She wished the knowledge of the Indian assault transmitted
to her posterity and it has been done, for there are but two hands between Penelope and me."
"Richard Stout having passed seven years on a man of war schooner, which he had entered when he for-
sook his father's house, after the failure of his first love speculation, married Penelope Van Prince. After a
time the httle Dutch woman prevailed in inducing her husband to consent to come to the future site of Middle-
town to settle. They were accompanied by four families, tradition states, by the name of Bowne, Lawrence,
Grover and Whitlock about the year 1648. The Stouts were in Middletown and Pleasant Valley; the Bownes
from Chigarora Creek west and north, owning what is now Union, East and West Keyport, Brown's Point,
CliSwood, etc. The Lawrence family settled at Colt's Neck, and extended north probably to Holmdel, but
generally going further south, where they swarmed. The Whitlocks settled at the Bay Shore near the site of
the present Port Monmouth, and later between Middletown and Holmdel."
"There was the best of understanding between Penelope Stout and her Indian 'father' as she called him,
although all was not rose color between the settlers and Indians. A great-great-grand-daughter of hers used
to relate to us grandchildren of her own, the following incident. Once the Indian father refused to eat with the
family which he was always in the habit of doing when coming to see them, and Mrs. Stout followed him
when he left the house and learned from him that his people had made arrangements to surprise and murder
all the whites on the following night. She lost no time in gathering the white people together, and they made
their way to the Bay Shore, and entering their canoes, lay all night in them off shore, it being too dark to go
to any place across the water. The next day peace was made with them. Later in their history, the whites of
MidcUetown and vicinity were several weeks in a Block house which stood on the ground now occupied by the
Baptist Church of that village. In the Block house or fort, were born twin great grand-daughters of Penelope,
one of whom was immediately named Hope StUl, after a treaty of peace with the besiegers, the other was called
Deliverance, the first name is still in the family, the last, we think was not repeated, owing perhaps to her
dying unmarried, as our ancestors were sure to name the first children for their parents. There has never
failed a Richard among the Hartshornes, a Richard and John among the Stouts — a Thomas, Joe or John among
Wallings, — a Hendrick in the Hendrickson and Longstreet families — or a WUhemus in Covenhoven."
Mrs. T. W. Seabrook.
"Richard Stout, the first of the name in America, was born in Nottinghamshire, England; and his father's
name was John. The said Richard when quite a young man paid his addresses to a young woman that his
father thought was below his rank, upon which account some unpleasant conversation happened between the
father and son, upon account of which the said Richard left his father's house and in a few days engaged on
board a ship of war, where he served about seven years, at which time he got his discharge at New Amsterdam,
now called New York. About the same time a ship from Amsterdam in Holland, on her way to the said New
Amsterdam was drove on the shore that is now called Middletown in Monmouth County in the state of New
Jersey, which ship was loaded with passengers who, with much diflBculty got on shore. But the Indians not
STOUT OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 299
long after fell upon them and butchered and killed the whole crew as they thought, but soon after the Indians
were gone a certain Penelope Van Prince, whose husband the Indians had killed, she found herself possessed
with strength enough to creep in a hollow tree, where she remained some days with a number of severe wounds
in her head and back. An Indian happening to come that way whose dog barking at the tree occasioned him
to examine the inside of the tree, where he found the said Penelope in this forlorn and distressing condition
which moved his compassion. He took her out of the tree and carried her to his residence, where he treated
her kindly and healed her wounds, and in a short time conveyed her in his canoe to New Amsterdam where he
sold her to the Dutch who then owned that city. The man and the woman from whom the whole race of
Stouts have descended are now in the city of New Amsterdam where they became acquainted with each other
and were married and notwthstanding it may be thought by some they conducted [themselves] with more
fortitude than prudence, they immediately crossed the bay and settled in the aforesaid Middletown where
Penelope had lost her first husband by the Indians and had been so severely wounded herself. There was at
this time but six white families in the settlement, including their own which was in the year 1648. Here they
continued until they became rich in property and rich in children." — From the manuscript written, in 1825,
by Capt. Nathan Stout, and corrected by Joseph D. Hoff, of Middletown, N. J., in August, 1885. This
manuscript contained many errors.*
Setting aside, temporarily, his traditional history, we now come to Richard Stout's known
history. This starts about 1643, when, in June of that year. Lady Deborah Moody, accompanied
by her son. Sir Henry Moody, and a nimiber of English famihes of good condition, arrived at the
fort, at New z\msterdam, fresh from religious persecutions in New England, to seek and fotmd
an asylum imder the Dutch. They were hospitably received and permitted to select such lands
as they vdshed. At the date of their arrival, Richard Stout was probably among the English
settlers, who, prior to that time, had located among the Dutch upon Manhattan Island, at-
tracted thither from the reUgious intolerance of New England, or for purposes of trade, or in the
spirit of adventure. These English speaking bodies soon joined to foimd the new settlement of
Gravesend, upon Long Island, whither they probably at once commenced to remove. By 1645,
with some intervening vicissitudes, they were well organized and the Director- General, Kieft,
issued them a patent dated Dec. 19th, of that year. i\mong the thirty-nine patentees enumer-
ated was Richard Stout.
An entry in the Town Book of the new settlement throws some light upon the Hfe and times
of Richard Stout. Unfortunately it is incomplete:
May 7, 1647. "Richard Stoute being sworn deposeth yt in the his being a soldiere at the ffort
with Penneare and other his fellow soldieres," etc.
Twice, in 1643, the EngUsh were employed as soldiers by the Dutch. The unparalleled
stupidity and barbarity of the Dutch Director-General, Kieft, and certain of his followers,
jeopardized the very existence of the Dutch settlements, by embroiling them with the Indians.
About the first of February, 164J, the warlike Mohawks descended upon the tribes inhab-
iting the shores of the lower Hudson, to enforce the tribute of dried clams and wampum which
had been withheld at the instigation of some of the Long Island Indians. Fleeing Hke sheep
before wolves, consumed with cold, hunger and fright, some four or five hundred fugitives
sought the protection of the whites upon Manhattan Island, where, imder the walls of the fort,
these pitiable objects were fed and sheltered by the hospitable settlers for a fortnight.
Recovering confidence, they broke up into two parties, one of which ventured across the
river to Pavonia, on the way to their friends, the Hackensacks, while the other removed to the
vicinity of Corlear's Hook, where a number of Rockaway Indians had lately set up their wig-
wams.
At this juncture, the Director, when heated with wine, yielded to the appeals of his Secre-
tary to revenge a murder committed, some time previously, at Hackensack, and the failure of

300 fflSTORICAL MISCELLANY
the Westchester Indians to surrender the murderer of one of the settlers, Claes Schmidt, like-
wise an affair many months old. Volunteers and soldiers thereupon were led to the two Indian
encampments, where, under cover of darkness, they fell upon the trusting savages and foully
murdered eighty in one place and forty in the other, sparing neither infants, women nor the
decrepid. Never was there fouler butchery. When they reaUzed that it was not the Indians of
Fort Orange, but the Dutch who had attacked them at Pavonia and Corlear's Hook, they joined
the Long Island tribes, who had recently been plundered of their com by Dutch farmers, made
bold by recent events, and who had killed two of the savages while defending their property.
These two factions now made an alliance with the River Indians, and eleven tribes, numbering
two thousand warriors, burning to avenge the massacre of their people, rose in open war and
every white man upon whom they could lay hands was killed. They laid waste the whole
coimtry from the Raritan River to the banks of the Connecticut. The fort became the sole
refuge of the panic stricken inhabitants, who, huddled together, bewailed their utter ruin
through the foUy and criminahty of Kieft, and they now threatened to abandon the colony in
a body. In this emergency, the Director-General saw no resource to prevent a depopulation
of New Amsterdam, but to take all the settlers into the service of the Company, for two months,
until peace could be reestablished, "as he had not sufficient soldiers for pubUc defense."
Life and Times of Nicholas StiUwell, p. 86.
This uprising was of short duration, for the savages, who had glutted their revenge, felt the
need of planting their maize, and made overtures of peace, which were eagerly accepted by
Kieft, and a treaty was concluded, first, with the Long Island Indians, on Mch. 25, 1643, and
with the River Indians on Apr. 22, 1643.
The second uprising, in 1643, occurred some months later, and again was the result of
Kieft's maladministration. Notwithstanding the fearful experience he had just passed through,
his cupidity and dishonesty were such that he embezzled the gifts that were to ratify the late
treaty with the River Indians, which occasioned such dissatisfaction and discontent that the
outraged Indians seized several boats laden with peltries in retaliation and as an offset. In
doing this, ten white men were kUled. Then followed war in its most terrible shape. The set-
tlements of Anne Hutchinson, John Throckmorton and the Rev. Francis Doughty were all
destroyed, some of their settlers killed or taken into captivity, while the balance, amounting to
over an hundred famiUes, quickly made their way to the Fort at New Amsterdam. Lady
Moody's settlement, at Gravesend, alone was able to withstand their assault. Here, the towns-
men, many of whom had served during the two months in the Indian outbreak in the "Spring,
under Lieut. Nicholas Stillwell, Ensign George Baxter and Sergeant James Hubbard, well
organized into a trained band, gave them so brisk and severe a reception that they were soon in
full retreat. So great was the need of protection at the Fort that Kieft again foimd it necessary
to take "into the public service all the able bodied EngUsh inhabitants of the neighboring vil-
lages, the Commonalty of New Amsterdam having agreed to provide for one-third of their pay ;
and a company of fifty was immediately enrolled from their number, armed and drilled."
About March, 1644, the Indians were vanquished, and on Apr. 6, and Apr. 16, 1644,
Sachems from various tribes concluded a new peace at Fort Amsterdam. It was in one of these
two enlistments that Richard Stout served with Robert Pennoyer and other fellow soldiers, and
I am incHned to thhik it was in the first one.
At that time. Lady Moody and her party had not arrived and he was naturally free, but
during the second enlistment, Gravesend having been settled and he, doubtless, one of its
inhabitants, it was naturally incumbent upon him to remain with its defensive company.
The supposition that Richard Stout was employed at the Fort in the Spring uprising of
1643, rather than in the Fall and Winter of 1643 and 1644, and that he left New Amsterdam,
with Lady Moody, in the Summer of 1643, to found Gravesend, is confirmed by the following
STOUT OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 301
record from the Calendar of New York Historical Manuscripts, which establishes a date for his
residence at Gravesend:
"Octoberr 13th, 1643, Richard Aestin, Ambrose Love [?] and Richard Stout made declaration that the
crew of the Seven Stars and of the privateer landed at the farm of Anthony Jansen, of Salee, in the Bay, and
took off 200 pumpkins, and would have carried away a lot of hogs from Coney Island had they no^ learned
that they belonged to Lady Moody."
Thus far we have ascertained that Richard Stout was a resident of New Amsterdam in the
Spring of 1643, when he was employed by Governor Kieft as a soldier in the February uprising
of that year; that he accompanied Lady Moody, with other settlers, to found Gravesend, be-
tween her arrival in Jime, and October of this same year.
How much earUer than February, 1643, Richard Stout may have been in New Amsterdam,
it is idle to speculate upon.
In the first allotments of house lots and farms in Gravesend, Feb. 20, 1646, he received
Plantation lot No. 16, upon which he evidently grew tobacco, for Oct. 26, 1649, John Thomas
bought, for two hundred and ten guilders, Richard Stout's crop of tobacco.
Gravesend Town Records.
In 1657, of his twenty acre farm he had seventeen acres under cultivation.
1661, Apr. 5. He bought an adjoining farm of Edward Griffin.
1663, Oct. 8. Richard Stout was plaintiff in a slander suit in Gravesend, and won his case.
Even vdth his double farm of forty acres, Richard Stout reaUzed its insufficiency to maintain
and settle a rapidly growing family, so that he, with other neighbors, similarly situated, turned
to the adjacent and easily reached country, whose wooded hills could be seen towards the South,
which was the spot where his wife had had her bitter experience among the Indians, and of
whose attractions she had doubtless spoken, prompting him to scout its woods in search of game,
and finally in search of land for a new home for himself and family. That this settlement oc-
curred before 1664, 1 doubt, though the Stout manuscript, and Mrs. Seabrook, probably from the
same source, say expUcitly, that it was in the year 1648, and that Stout was associated with
five additional settlers, among whom Mrs. Seabrook named Bowne, Lawrence, Grover and
Whitlock. To this earlier settlement, Edwards makes no allusion, nor can it be said that Smith
does, but to the contrary, he fixes the date of Stout's settlement practically about the time of
1665, or a httle later, for he mentions the event, as does Edwards, of an uprising when Penelope's
old time Indian friend saved her by a timely warning, which Smith says occurred, when there
"were supposed to be about fifty families of white people, and five hundred Indians inhabiting
these parts." Surely this must relate to a later date than 1648, for so many white families could
only have been assembled in this district after the Monmouth Patent had been issued by Gov-
ernor Nicolls; further, a study of the movements of the Stouts, Bovnies, Lawrences, Grovers and
Whitlocks does not encourage the belief that they were permanently settled on the Monmouth
Tract much before 1665. At times members of these families may have been temporarily
camped out in this district for hunting or prospecting, and it may have been on one of these
occasions that Penelope Stout received the warning from her Indian friend of the threatened
uprising, and the need of her immediate removal, and, indeed, this event, given by Smith,
Edwards and the Stout manuscript, could only have occurred during such a temporary occupa-
tion, for, in 1665, or later, Penelope's Indian saviour would have been more than twenty-two
years older than he was in 1643, the date of Penelope's supposed arrival, when he was already
an old man. Add these years to this old man's age and he would have been pretty patriarchal.
Again, Smith's account says Penelope took her children with her, which would probably refer
to a late, rather than to an early event, as in 1665, her family was largely grown, yet some were
young, being bom after 1654.
302 fflSTORICAL MISCELLANY
Another statement in Smith's account contradicts the idea of a 1648 settlement, for he
states that, "A while after marrying to one Stout, they Hved together at Middletown among
other Dutch inhabitants." As a matter of fact, the accredited associates of Stout, in his 1648
settlement, were Enghsh from Gravesend, and there is no knowledge of any Dutch in this locaUty
till long after the Monmouth Patent was granted.
When the conclusion was reached that it was vital to abandon the crowded settlement of
Gravesend, a nmnber of the settlers from that village, and a few from adjacent towns, to the
nimaber of twenty, sailed in a sloop, in the early part of December, 1663, up the Raritan River,
and began negotiations with the Sachems for the purchase of lands. These proceedings were
interrupted by a company of Dutchmen, who, cruising about in one of the company's sloops,
heard of the presence of the EngUsh, and suspecting their purpose, notified the Sachems, of the
Raritans and the Navesinks, not to bargain with them, whereupon the English went to the shores
at the mouth of the Navesink, where, agam, for a second time, a sharp passage at words occurred
between them. The Dutch, for some time, had reaHzed the desire of the English to throw over
their allegiance, and were alert to impress them with the need of fealty, so that no progress was
apparently made b}- the EngUsh settlers in their negotiations for lands, at this time. It was,
probably, however, in anticipation of the expected overthrow of the Dutch, that this expedition
was undertaken, and the consummation of this event, in the year following, 1664, wdth the pro-
clamation of Governor Stuyvesant's successor, Richard NicoUs, of certain concessions, promptly
brought about organized effort to locate in the territory which they had so recently prospected.
Among those who moved to avail themselves of this golden opportunity, was Richard Stout,
who, with others, patentees and associates, bought the Sachems' rights to the land embraced in
the future Monmouth Patent, Apr. 8, 1665, which was confirmed to twelve cf them, of whom he
was one.
When ready to remove to this new tract, Richard Stout disposed of his Gravesend property
to Mr. Thomas Delaval, a prosperous merchant of New York, who seems to have meditated
making his residence at Gravesend, and perhaps actually did so, as he is named as a Patentee in
at least one of the patents of the town.
After the death of Thomas Delaval, this property became vested in his son, John Delaval,
whose widow, Hannah, sold it to John Lake, and thence on it became part of the Lake estate.
The date of Richard Stout's arrival, and permanent settlement on the Monmouth Tract,
was 1664, as estabUshed by his claims for lands under the Grants and Concessions. These set
forth the rights of the settlers:

As already stated a careful study of Richard Stout's claim proves that he and his wife, with
their two sons, John and Richard, came to the new country- in 1664, while the remainder of their
children probably dwelt in Gravesend till about 1667, when they too came to the Monmouth
Tract to join their parents in their newly made home. This is a reasonable deduction, as some
roof had to be erected to receive this large family, whose presence, in the absence of such an one,
would be a hindrance rather than a help to their parents, especially as some of the children were
still young. It is easy to conceive that the Gravesend house was presided over by one of the
daughters and one of the sons, aided by frequent visits from the parents, till their removal took
place in 1667.
Richard Stout's application for land was recorded in 1675, in which he lays claim, in right of
himself, wife and children for 780 acres, i. e., 120 acres, each, for himself, wife, son John and son
Richard, who were master, mistress and able-bodied servants, [not necessarily twenty-one
years of age however], settling on the land before Januar>', 1665, and 60 acres, each, for his
children, James, Peter, Mary, AHce and Sarah, who voyged thither, about 1667, and who were
classified as free men and women, arri\'ing between January, 1666 and 1667. If they had settled
on the Monmouth Tract with their father, prior to 1665, they too would have received this same
amount of land, 60 acres, each, as weaker servants being over fourteen years of age, but the
record expressly states from i66y, and the matter of their birth is not involved if the word
voyge is read as travel, rather than age, as has been done heretofore. The younger, known but
unmentioned, children were evidently under the age of fourteen in 1675, as they had not reached
the period of being classified as "weaker servants," which had they been, would have entitled
their father, Richard Stout, to additional lands at thirty acres per head, and for proof of which
he put in no claim.
The influx of settlers was rapid and large, for in the astonishingly short time of about five
years, from 1664 to July, 1669, further settlement was restricted especially of transients, "con-
sidering the towne to be now wholly compleated beeing full acording to their number."
Upon the settlement of the Monmouth Tract, the settlers grouped themselves in three
bodies, one settling at Portland Point, now the Navesink Highlands, one at Shrewsbury, on
Narumsunk Neck, and one at Middletown, on Newasink Neck, so named because of lying be-
tween the first two settlements. Before and after town organization was complete the Patentees
met, with Deputies elected from their associates, in an Assembly, at various times in these towns,
and made laws for the government of the towns, by the erection of a Constable's Court, the
distribution of town lands, the election of officers, laying out of roads, etc. ; and in this Assembly
Richard Stout frequently sat, as one of the Patentees, during 1669, 1670 and 1671.
Shortly after this, the local Assembly was abolished and the direction of the town's affairs
were left largely to themselves, while matters of large import were directed by General As-
semblies and the Proprietary Governor which had been the order of things for some years.
The settlers, as we have seen, had assigned to them, by the village commonalty, under the
direction of the Local Assembly, town lots and farms adjacent to the village, and it was only
after some years, when the whole tract became better peopled, that they applied for and received
304 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
large grants from the Proprietors, in conformity with their rights under the Grants and Conces-
sions.
At the first division of the town lots, Dec. 30, 1667, Richard Stout drew lot No. 6, which
would correspond closely to the present site of Squire Henry Taylor's house, on the South side
of the Middletown highway, and beyond him, at the Eastern end of the town, probably on the
North side, his son, John Stout, drew lot No. 19. The next day, Dec. 31, 1667, he was chosen,
with James Ashton, to assist James Grover in laying out, in lots, the Poplar and the Mountainy
fields. No. 12 falling to bim, and No. 5 falling to his son, John Stout.
1668, Jan. 4. He recorded his cattle-mark, which passed, Aug. 25, 1710, to his son, Ben-
jamin Stout, and, in 172 1, to John Burrows, as Benjamin Stout and his family had moved away.
Richard Stout enjoyed the confidence and respect of his fellow townsmen and was frequently
elected to fill responsible positions in the conduct of the town's pubUc business. He was one of
the six who were to give answer to the Governor's men in the town's behalf, in their resistance
to Proprietary aggression; he was commonly Overseer, and thus a member of the Constables
Court.
In 1669, "the equality of the division of the meadows is putt to the Judgement of Richard
Stoutte" and two others.
In 1678, he was chosen one of the Overseers of the Highways, and this is seemingly his last
public oflBce, for age had overtaken him, and his children had come to the fore, especially his son,
John Stout.
Richard Stout received various grants of lands from the Proprietors, upon which he was
compelled to pay taxes. These Middletown lands are variously alluded to in warrants, surveys
and tax fists, and while, perhaps, they are in some instances here dupHcated, were apparently as
follows:
1675, Nov. 2. Richard Stout had seven hxmdred and eighty acres, at Middletown.
1676, Feb. 24. Richard Stout had four hundred acres, he having purchased the same from
ye Indians in the Lord Proprietor's name.
1676, May 31. Richard Stout had five himdred acres, and meadow, as being one of the first
purchasers.
1676, Jime 23. Richard Stout had four hundred and sixty acres.
1676, June 28. Richard Stout had four himdred and sixty acres.
1676, June 30. Richard Stout had one hundred and eighty-four acres, in Middletown, which
he sold later to WiUiam Leeds, Sr., of Burlington.
1677, May 7. Richard Stout had two hundred and eighty-five acres.
1686, July 20. Richard Stout had four hundred and sixty acres.

In the Quit Rent Roll, for the year 1686, he received an abatement of his tax, as " the man is
very old. " This brings us to a (fiscussion of the probable year of Richard Stout's birth and
death. The Rev. Mr. Hart, of Hopewell, drawing his information from the descendants of
J6nathan Stout, and suppljdng it to Morgan Edwards, gave a series of dates which are wrong
\
STOUT OF MONMOUTH COUNTY 305
upon their face and extremely confusing. He stated that Penelope, the wife of Richard Stout,
was bom in 1602, and sailed for New York about 1620, and was wrecked. That she met and
married, in New York, Richard Stout, when she was in her twenty-second year, and he in his
fortieth, and that she lived to the age of one hundred and ten years, and saw her offspring multi-
pUed into five hundred and two in about eighty-eight years. Allowing one year for her widow-
hood, Penelope Stout would have married Richard Stout, according to these dates, in 1621, in
her twenty-second year, which would make her born about 1600; and he, at this date, in his
fortieth year, would have been born about 1582; she, living to one hundred and ten years of
age, would have died about 17 10.
If Penelope Stout was born in 1602, she was sixty-three years old when the settlement of
Middleto'WTi occurred, and as only two of her children, John and Richard, had arrived at age,
and were presumbly about twenty and eighteen years, respectively, she must have been aged
forty-three years when she bore her first child, and as we know that she had ten children that
grew to adult life, and perhaps others who died young, it would have prolonged her child-bearing
period till she was near, if not o^^er, the age of sixty, when, as a matter of fact, it should have
encompassed thirty years, between the ages of sixteen years and forty-six years, or thereabouts.
Evidently there is a mistake in Mr. Hart's dates, and I think it lies in the fact that he erro-
neously gave the date of birth, 1602, to Penelope Stout instead of to Richard Stout, her husband.
If we accept this as Ukely, and fit her marriage to the date of 1644, which we have proved was
the probable date of her arrival, then we can rnteUigently apply the other figures, given by Mr.
Hart, and the results would be :
Richard Stout was born 1602; married 1644; died 1705.
Penelope Stout was born 1622-23; married 1644; died 1732-3.
The correctness of the dates assigned Richard Stout is sustained by the fact that he was
very old in 1686, and that he became inactive, in town affairs, about i6'/0.
We have Httle knowledge of him in his later days.
1679-80, Feb. 26. Richard and Penelope Stout sold to Thomas Snowsell, Sr., sixteen acres
of land, with dweUing house, bam and orchard, and nine acres of upland, in the Poplar Field, and
other small parcels, for £66-5-3. This land later passed to John Crafford and then to Peter
Tilton.
In 1690, he conveyed to his son, Peter Stout, land on Hop River, and six and two-thirds
acres of meadow, at Conesconck, joining David Stout.
In 1690, he convej'ed to his son, James Stout, land on Hop River, on whose boundaries was
Jonathan Stout, and another piece of land, at Conescunk, adjoining David Stout.

Richard Stout, as has been deduced, probably married in 1643 or 1644, and had by his wife,
Penelope, issue, most, if not all of whom, were bom in Gravesend, Long Island. If no accoimt is
taken of any deceased children, or the exact order of succession, the dates of birth of the known
children would be about as follows:
Issue
2 John Stout, bom about 1644-5.
3 Richard Stout, bom about 1646.
4 Mary Stout, born about 1648.
5 James Stout, bom about 1650.
6 AUce Stout, bom about 1652.
7 Peter Stout, bom about 1654; died between 1702 and 1703.
8 Sarah Stout, bom about 1656.
9 Jonathan Stout, bom about 16 — ; 1646, says James Harvey Stout.
ID Benjamin Stout, born about 1669?
II David Stout, born about 1667 or 1669.
That these children are given with some semblance of proper succession is likely, as their
arrangement here conforms to their order in the Grants and Concessions, as well as in Richard
Stout's will.
LINE OF JOHN STOUT
2 JOHN STOUT, son of Richard Stout, i, was bom, by deduction, at Gravesend, Long
Island, about 1644-45. He was married, at Middletown, N. J., by John Bowne, Justice of the
Peace, Jan. 12, 1671-72, to EUzabeth , whose surname is omitted in the record.
He was probably the first born, and his birth can be fixed by the deduced date of marriage
of his parents, by the fact he is first enumerated in his father's claim for lands imdei the Grants
and Concessions, and that he was an able-bodied man, though not necessarily of age, at the date
of the settlement of Middletown in 1664-65.
In the first division of lands, in Middletown, Dec. 30, 1667, he drew lot No. 19, on the main
street, and the following day, in the distribution of the outlying Poplar and Mountainy fields, he
drew lot No. 5. He erected a house upon his town-lot, stocked his farm with cattle, some of
which were allowed to herd, in common with others, and to designate which, he recorded his
cattle-mark Sept. 4, 1672.
John Stout remained at Middletown, and died some time prior to 1740, as at this date, his
cattle-mark was assumed by his grandson, John Stout, the newly-elected Town Clerk; and,
July 23, 1742, Richard Stout, son and heir-at-law to John Stout, late of Middletown, is alluded
to in a deed, with Zephaniah White, as a witness. Freehold Deeds, Lib. H., p. 317.
If it were he who died prior to 1740, he must have attained a very advanced age and sus-
tained the family's reputation for longevity.
John Stout acquired a considerable estate.
*In the will the name "John Weekham " appears like "John uauhan," [Vaughn). In the proof of the will it is spelled "Week-
ham, " or "Meekham."

From the Proprietors, as alluded to in Warrants, Surveys and tax bills, he received:
1675, Nov. 2, one hundred and twenty acres, at Middletown.
1676, Oct. 6, two hundred and forty acres.
1678, Feb. 7, two hundred and nine acres.

1696. John Stout, of Middletown, yeoman, and Elizabeth, his wife, sold land at Crosswicks.
1697, July 17. He bought lands of James Grover.
Some of these may be duplicates, appearing, as is common, in various quit-rent taxes.
No doubt he acquired other lands as well, by succession and purchase.
1697, July 17. James Grover, carpenter, conveyed to John Stout, yeoman, property.
James Bollen was a witness and made his acknowledgment to this deed in 17 10.
1705, Oct. 5. John Stout, of Middletown, yeoman, for reasonable causes and considerations,
conveyed to Benjamin Stout, of Middletown, yeoman, land on Hop River, bounded by land
formerly David Stout's, and land formerly Peter Stout's, as also land at Conesconk, belonging
"to my late father, Richard Stout."
1 7 10, Apr. 6. John Stout, of Middletown, for £15, conveyed to Richard Hartshome, six
acres of meadow, on Hartshorne's Neck, known as Conneskvmk, which was granted to the said
John Stout by Richard Hartshome, May 6, 1705.
Thomas and Jane Higham, the said Jane being the widow of Richard Sadler, of Middle-
town, who gave her, by his wUl, a proprietary right, conveyed the same, for £40, to John Stout,
of Middletown.
Of his estate, he gave as follows:
1703, Apr. 30. John Stout, of Middletown, for £20, sold to his son, Richard Stout, two

3 RICHARD STOUT, son of John Stout, 2, was called his son and heir, in a conveyance
dated 1742:
1742, July 23. Richard Stout, of Middletown, son and heir to John Stout, late of Middle-
town, yeoman, for £28, conveyed to Timothy Waeir, of Shrewsbury, yeoman, thirty acres, at
Barnegat, in Shrewsbury, granted to the deceased John Stout by patent from the Proprietors.
Richard Stout signed his name.
Richard Stout was, by trade, a cordwainer or shoemaker, in 1704, when he received, from
his father, land at Shoal Harbor.
He resided in Middletown, on his estate, of two hundred acres, bought from his father Apr.
30, 1703-
In 1695, he recorded his cattle-mark, and, in 1712, he recorded his brandmark.
1714, Apr. 10. Capt. Richard Stout, of Middletown, gent, for 10 shillings, sold a four acre
right to Hugh Hartshome.
1714, Aug. 21. Richard Stout, of Middletown, planter, for £20, sold to Garvine Drum-
mond, of Shrewsbury, a right to three himdred acres. He signed the deed Richard Stout.
1 7 14, Aug. 26. Richard Stout acknowledged the above deed and was styled Capt. Richard
Stout.
1717, 17th of nth mo. Richard and Mary Stout signed the marriage certificate of John
WooUey and Patience Lippit, at the house of Sarah Lippit, Middletown.
1724, May 26. Richard Stout, Esq., of Middletown, for £20, sold land to John Woolley, Jr.
1724. Richard Stout was a Justice, in Middletown.
1729, Dec. 19. Richard Stout conveyed to son, John, land adjoining widow Lippet and
George Taylor.
Richard Stout was, probably, among the first born children, as he had a daughter, Esther
Stout, born prior to her brother, John Stout, who was born in 1701, say in 1699, and who married
Benjamin Woolley about 17 16, which necessitates their father, Richard Stout, being born not
later than 1678, and perhaps earUer.
Richard Stout was probably married twice, and unless another husband can be found for
Esther, daughter of Peter and Rebecca (Brazier) Tilton, born Aug. 5, 1678, I judge her to have
been the first wife of Richard Stout, and his second wife was Mary Tilton, bom Feb. 2, 1681,
his first wife's sister.
At what time his first wife died I do not know, but Mary was his wife in 1704, when they
both signed the marriage certificate of Walter Harbert and Sarah Tilton, her cousin, at the house
of Rebecca TUton, the 2 of 4 mo., of that year. John Stout, his son, was bom in 1701, and
Jonathan Stout, his son, in 1704. The latter was therefore the son of Mary, but Esther Stout,
his daughter, was bom prior to John, for she was married to Benjamin Woolley, about 17 16,
according to dates of birth of their children.
1749, Dec. 28. Richard Stout made his will, which was proved Jan. 17, 1749, in which he
recites that he was of Middletown, Esquire, and mentioned:
Son, John Stout, to whom he gave land, bought of Thomas Cox, and along the line of Sarah Lippit,
William Bowne's line, and thence to the highway by the graves, etc.
Son, Jonathan Stout.
Negroes, Harriet and Bess to be freed and to have the use of one-half of my father's field; other negroes
were also provided for.
Daughters, Mary, Catharine, Rebecca, and three daughters of my deceased daughter, Esther Woolley.
He appointed his two sons executors, and signed his name to the will.

LINE OF RICHARD STOUT
3 RICHARD STOUT, son of Richard Stout, i, was bom, by deduction, at Gravesend,
Long Island, about 1646, or a httle later. He doubtless accompanied his father in the migration
to Middletown, in 1665, for his father bases an appUcation for lands on this fact, yet, in Decem-
ber, 1667, upon the first division of lands, in Middletown, he, personally, was ignored, which
was probably from the fact that he was still a youth and Hving at home with his parents.
Richard Stout, 3, had two wives, an early one by the name of Frances, and a later one by the
name of Mary. I cannot say, with certainty, what their surnames were, but one was, I think,
a Seymour and the mother of Frances was Frances who married, for her first husband,
a man with name yet unknown. As the wife of this unknown man, she had this daughter,
Frances [Stout], and as the widow of this unknown man, she became the second wife of Robert
West, whose first wife, Elizabeth, joined him [Robert West] in a deed, Oct. 18, 1663, in Rhode
Island. Upon Robert West's death, she, Frances, married, third, Edmond Lafetra*, and was
probably his sole wife. This Frances had issue by all three of her husbands; by the first, a
daughter, called Frances , who became the wife of Richard Stout, certainly prior to
*The will of Edmund Lafetra has been variously interpreted. The following, I believe, is its correct explanation, viz. :
Robert West, Sr., of Rhode Island, and afterwards of Shrewsbury, married twice; first, Elizabeth , by whom he had
Issue
Robert West, Jr., who took the Oath of Allegiance with his father, in 1667-8.
Joseph West; married. May 12, 1692, Mary Webley.
Elizabeth West; erroneously assumed by many to have been a daughter of Edmund Lafetra, and the wife of
John West.
Ann West, who married Henry Chamberlain.
Mary West, who married Nathaniel Cammock.
Robert West married, second, Frances , a widow, whose maiden and widowed names are alike unknown; she was the
mother by her first husband (unknown) of a daughter Frances, who became the wife of Richard, the son of Richard and Penelope
Stout, and is referred to in the will of Edmund Lafetra, as Frances Stoutt. And by this marriage to Frances , Robert
West had
Issue
John West, an only child, so far as we know, by this marriage.
Afterwards this same Frances, upon the death of her husband, Robert West, took for her third husband, Edmund
Lafetra, by whom she had
Issue
Edmund Lafetra
Sarah Lafetra.
Under the generous roof of the kind-hearted Quaker, Edmund Lafetra, were reared these four separate sets of children, and
in his will the noble man called each one of them "son" or "daughter" or "child."
3i8 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
1679-80, and probably prior to 1676, which, if we do not allow, would necessitate Richard Stout
having an earUer wife with name unknown, which I hardly think is likely.
In a letter, in my possession, written by William Leeds, about 1736, to Cox, concern-
ing a title to land in dispute between them, he says:
"Richd. Stout married a girl in Shrewsbury and settled there and his father lived in
Middletown and passing and repassing from one to the other he took a liking to some land at
Swiming River. The Gen'l Surveyor then being a measuring land thereabouts to the people
Stout got him to measure him a piece the i June 1676, in order to settle it, but Stout's wfe
would not go so far unless he would get a neighbor to go with her." He then asked Thomas
Wright, of Shrewsbury, with his wife, to settle on the tract he had just obtained and he would
sell him part.
" In the Fall the patent was sent to Stout from Elizabethtown. Then they went to Leonard
to read it to them for neither of them could read," etc., etc.
That Richard Stout secured this land is certain, as "Richard Stout, Jr., was on the bound-
ary of Grover's Inheritance, in 1676," which lay on Swimming River, and he also made good his
offer to Wright, in a deed dated jime 22, 1676, which he signed alone, not being joined by his
wife. New Jersey Archives, Vol. xxi, p. 232.
Wright repudiated the deed when he ascertained that he had to pay quit-rent on the lands,
and the claims of his supposed descendants, the Walls and the Coxes, rested upon the question
of his rights, in their contention with WilHam Leeds.
At all events, whether Wright settled on the land as his neighbor, or not. Stout, himself,
did, and took with him to this home, in 1676, a wife. She was probably Frances, as Feb. 7,
1679-80, Richard Stout, Jr., and wife, Frances, jointly signed a conveyance to William Leeds,
of Shrewsbury.
Richard Stout acquired considerable land in Monmouth County. Among the Warrants,
Surveys and Conveyances, from the Proprietors, appear:
1675 to 1686, he paid quit-rents on one hundred and twenty acres of land.
1675, Nov. 2. He had one hundred and twenty acres at Shrewsbury.
1676, June 23. He had one hundred and eighty-four acres granted to him.
1676, June 28. He had one hundred and eighty-four acres granted to him, later conveyed
to William Leeds.
In 1676, Richard Stout, Jr., was still of Middletown, when he divided with Thomas Wright
land surveyed about the first of June, 1676.
1686. He paid quit- rent on Middletown lands.
1687, June 20. He had one himdred and twenty acres granted him, adjacent to Richard
Stout, the elder.
1689, June 24. Samuel Leonard, of Colt's Neck, bought lands from the Indian Sachems, of
Manasquan, lying at Manasquan, beginning at Squancum, for various goods, rum, etc., which
he assigned to Richard Stout, Jr., Dec. 19, 1689.
Richard Stout, 3, and his descendants, settled at Shrewsbury, and bought lands at Long
Branch, Deal, Manasquan and Bamegat, all places to the South along the shore.
He had Uttle opportimity to acquire education, and there was little need for it, so, that like
many others among the early settlers, he made his mark, as did his wife, Mary.
On the other hand, John Stout, 2, the brother of Richard Stout, 3, resided at Middletown,
where he and his descendants owned land and bought to the Northward, towards the Bay
Shore. John Stout's son, Richard Stout, also married a wife, Mary, and was contemporary with
LINE OF RICHARD STOUT 319
Richard Stout, 3, and Mary, his wife, but they may easily be separated, for Richard Stout, 3,
with wife, Mary, were identified with Shrewsbury and made their marks to documents, while
Richard Stout, son of John Stout, 2, with wife, Mary, were identified with IN'Iiddletown, and both
signed their names to documents.
The following items shed hght upon Richard Stout's later years and upon his children:
1687, Dec. 3. Richard Stout, Jr., received land from Samuel Leonard, which he conveyed,
I, 10, 1691, (calling himself planter, of Manasquan, at which time he signed by his mark), to
Ananias Gifford. This transfer may have been the result of a suit brought by Richard Stout,
Jr., of Middletown, Nov. 21, 1687, against Samuel Leonard, of Colt's Neck.
1704. Richard Stout and Mary Stout witnesses to a marriage.
1705, Dec. 20. Richard Stout, Sr., of Shrewsbury, yeoman, and Robert Stout, own son of
the said Richard Stout, also of Shrewsbury, singleman, conveyed, for £30, to Joseph Hulett,
singleman, of Shrewsbur}^, fifty-five acres of land, in Shrewsbury, which Richard Stout, Sr.,
purchased from Hananiah Gifford, Mch. 10, 1691, and conveyed to his son, Robert Stout,
Apr. 7, 1703. Richard Stout and Robert Stout both signed the deed by their marks.
1709, Sept. 26. Richard Stout, Sr., yeoman, of Shrewsbury, and Mary, his wife, conveyed
to Ebenezer Cook, yeoman, of Shrewsbury, for £175, land, at Long Branch, and six acres of
meadow, at Portapeck, being in all two hundred and thirty-five acres, reserving a piece of
ground three rods square, where the said Richard Stout's former wife Hes buried, which land

Stout and Mary Stout by their marks. Recorded 1736.
1709, Nov. II. Richard Stout, Sr., yeoman, of Shrewsbury, conveyed to his loving son,

Lippincott engaged in the Huddy afi^air. He settled in Canada, and
from his daughter, Esther Borden Lippincott, who married George Taylor
Dennison, is descended a Dennison who had the old Family Bible.)
There was, presumably, another Frances Stout, who was perhaps a daughter of one of
Richard and Frances Stout's sons, and hence their grand-daughter. This assumption, for such
it is, rests upon the fact that there was a Frances , who became the wife of Job Throck-
morton, of Shrewsbury, which given name, Frances, was apparently confined to the Stouts of
Shrewsbury. This Job Throckmorton was the son of Job and Sarah (Leonard) Throckmorton,
and also was a resident of Shrewsbury. Job Throckmorton and Sarah Leonard were married
in 1685, and Job, their son, was born, by deduction, about 1690-95, and married, by deduction,
Frances , about 1712. If this reasoning be correct, Frances would have been born too
late to have been the daughter of Richard and Frances Stout, of Shrewsbury, but would have
been the issue of one of their children.

William Havens and Jacob Dennis. Recorded 1728. Book H., p. 49, Freehold, N. J., Records.
1724, May 26. Richard Stout sold land to John Woolley, Jr.
That this mdividual, Richard Stout, Jr., was the son of Richard Stout, 3, and of the third
generation is clear when it is recalled that the first Richard Stout died in 1705, and that the
second Richard Stout's brother, David, was hving, and moved to AmweU in 1725. He could
not have been a son of Jonathan Stout, for Jonathan, in his will of 1722, speaks of his son,
David, as yet aUve, so that, by exclusion, he must have been a son of Richard, John, James or
Peter Stout, of the second generation, and though I have no knowledge that James Stout had
no son, David, or that Peter Stout, of the second generation, who died during his father's life-
time, and who left a wife, Mary, had other than a daughter, Mary, and a son, John, though
reputed to have had a large family, stiU I am inclined to assign the Richard Stout, under dis-
cussion, to Richard Stout, of the second generation, and consider him the individual called
"Squan Dick."
Squan Dick Stout settled at Squan and is reputed to have raised a large family, who dwelt
at Bamegat and along the shore, where stiU their descendants may be foimd.

5 ROBERT STOUT, son of Richard Stout, 3.
1715, Oct. 10. Robert Stout, of Shrewsbury, yeoman, for £5, sold to Thomas Chambers,
of Shrewsbury, yeoman, land on the South side of Shark River, which the said Robert Stout
received by deed from Nicholas Wainwright July 20, 1709. Robert Stout signed by his mark.
Witnesses: Samuel Dennis, WiUiam Exeen, Samuel IDennis, Jr. Acknowledged by Robert
Stout in 1720.
1734, Sept. 5. Robert Stout, of Shrewsbury, yeoman, conveyed to Peter Le Conte, of
Freehold, physician and chirurgeon, for £30-10-0, one hundred acres of land and meadow,
which said Stout received from George Lafetra by deed dated June 28, 1732, the land being
situated in Shrewsbury, at Bamigat. Robert St ut signed by his mark. Witnesses: Samuel
Dennis, Anthony Pintard and Obadiah Williams. Acknowledged by Robt. Stout, 1784.
1779, Feb. 17. There was a Robert Stout whose property was confiscated because of his
Torjdsm, and advertised for sale at this date. His neighbors were those who were settled
around Shrewsbury, and to the South thereof, which makes it probable that he was a descendant
of Richard Stout, 3, and was likely the above mentioned Robert Stout, 5, or a son of his.
6 JOSEPH STOUT, son of Richard Stout, 3, received from his father, in 1709, a deed of
land at Manasquan River, in which he is mentioned as "carpenter, of Shrewsbury."

It is my beUef Seymour Stout married and had a family, though as against this, he was
single, in 1739, twenty-two years after his father had established him in life with real estate.
It is likely that the group of children named in the following will belongs to him; if not, they
belong to one of his brothers. Certainly they are descendants of Richard Stout, 3.
Will of Abraham Stout, of New York, cordwainer, mentioned: wife, Sarah, to whom he gave two houses
in Water St., and all his household goods, and created her executrix; brothers, David and Seymour Stout, and
sisters, Rebecca, Elizabeth and Mary Stout, an equal share in two houses adjacent to the above, and £20 more

9 PENELOPE STOUT, supposed daughter of Richard Stout, 3.
On the authority of O. B. Leonard, Esq., a daughter of this name was given to John, the

than likely she was the daughter of Richard Stout, son of Richard Stout, i, as he, and not his

of Elisha Lawrence, being of Shrewsbury origin.
11 JOHN STOUT, a supposed son of Richard Stout, 3.
It has been customary to assign a John Stout, who was a sea-faring man, and called
"SaUor John" to John Stout, 2. This "Sailor John" Stout married and had a large family,
among whom was a daughter, Penelope Stout. If the tradition concerning the existence of
such a man be true, then the locaUty, the occupation and the fact that John, son of John
Stout, 2, was of Middletown, and is accounted for, contradicts the assertion that John
Stout, II, was a son of John Stout, 2, and makes him of necessity a son of Richard Stout, 3.

Penelope Stout, who married Henry Jacobs Falkinburg, in 1731, at Little Egg Harbor, came

land in Middletown.
1685, Feb. 16. He recorded his cattle-mark, at Middletown, but no further reference is
found concerning it.
In 1686, he paid quit-rent on one himdred and forty-two and one-half acres of land, at
Middletown.
1690, June 29. Richard Stout, of Middletown, gave land to his son, James Stout, of the
same place, that was situated at Romanis or Hope River; and he also gave him five acres of
meadow at Conesctmk, described as "adjoining Dan. Stout." This is undoubtedly an error,
and should have read David, in lieu of Dan, for I have no knowledge of the existence of any
such an individual as Daniel Stout at this early date. And an analysis of the lands, deeded by
Richard Stout, Sr., to his sons of this date, sustains the conclusion. This error is to be found

Shrewsbury, 11 mo., 17, 1717, John Woolley. Her marriage certificate was signed by an Ahce
Skelton, at which time her grandmother was known to have been the wife of Mr. Jones, so that
the grandmother either erroneously signed her name Skelton, instead of Jones, or she had a
daughter, Alice Skelton.
LINE OF PETER STOUT
7 PETER STOUT, son of Richard Stout, i, was born, by deduction, at Gravesend,
Long Island, about 1654, and died, at Middletown, N. J., between 1702 and 1703, for. May 23,
1702, he recorded his cattle-mark which he "had held many years," and, June 9, 1703, in his
father's will, he is mentioned as deceased.
1675, Nov. 2. He was granted sixty acres of land, at Middletown, in right of his being a
settler on the Monmouth Tract, in 1667.
1690, June 29. He received land by deed from his father, Richard Stout.
330 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
Peter Stout resided in Middletown, and is reputed to have been very rich, possessed of an
excellent disposition, and much respected. He married Miss Bullen, perhaps Mary, if it is she
who is spoken of in the will of Richard Stout, i, as the wife of his son, Peter Stout, in 1703. He
is reputed to have had a large family who settled in Monmouth Coimty, along the seashore.

9 JOHN STOUT, son of Peter Stout, 7.
1716, Oct. 9. John Stout, of Middletown, yeoman, son and heir of Peter Stout, of Middle-
town, deceased, for £500, sold land to Obadiah Holmes, of Middletown, yeoman, on Hop River,
and meadow, at Conescimk, which land was conveyed to Peter Stout by his father, Richard
Stout, June 29, 1690. The deed was signed by John Stout and Sarah Stout. Witnesses: Re-
bekeh TUton, WUliam Lawrence, Jr., Mercy Lawrence [daughter of Richard Hartshome, bom
1693] and Rachel Clark.
In 1716, Benjamin Stout, 10, an uncle of the aforesaid John Stout, had recently removed
from Middletown to Delaware, where a number of families from East Jersey had settled on
George's Creek, and it is supposed that they were drawn hither partly by the proximity of the
Welsh Tract Baptist Church. Among these were three of the name of Stout:
John Stout, "of the township of Freehold, County of Monmouth, and Province of East
Jersey," who bought land there on the north side of Dragon Swamp, May 8, 1708; Samuel
Stout, with wife, Margaret, who bought land on George's Creek, in 1720; and "Elizabeth
Stoute," who signed the marriage certificate of WiUiam Farson and Rachel Vail, in 1719.
The John Stout, whose name appears in Delaware, I believe corresponds to John Stout, 9,
son of Peter Stout, 7, though he may be descended from some other one of the older sons of
Richard and Penelope Stout. He signed the Confession of Faith of the Welsh Tract Baptist
Church, in 1719, and disappears from the records in 1726.

bridge, N. J., son of John Pike, of the same place. He was born in 1639, and died, Aug. 13, 1714,
aged 75 years.
The Pikes were eminent in Woodbridge, N. J. Dally, in his history of that town, says of
John Pike, the husband of Sarah Stout:
"The astute Judge John Pike, who having attained the age of seventy-five years, died in August, 1714;
whether buried near his father, the distinguished Capt. John Pike, we do not know, as no stone marks the
tomb of the elder Pike. Here, however, is Zebulon's grave and that of the third John."

Woodbridge, N. J., in 1682. James Bollen's daughter, Anna, and son, James, in May, 1683,
selected Samuel Moore and Nathaniel Fitzrandolph as guardians.
1685, Feb. 16. He recorded his cattle-mark, of which no later transfer is recorded.
1686. He paid quit-rent on one hundred and forty-two and one-half acres, at Middletown,
N.J.
1698-9. He was Overseer of the Poor of Middletown, N. J.
1703, Jan. 26. John Chapman, yeoman, of Chesterfield, in Burlington Coimty, N. J., sold
to Jonathan Stout, yeoman, of Middletown, three hundred acres of land, lying above the Falls
of the Delaware, for £65.
1704, Jan. I. Jonathan Stout and Anna, his wife, of Middletown, sold to James Hubbard,
of the same place, two hundred and fifty acres of land, in Middletown, and Meadow at Conas-
conck, for £328.
The preceding sales and the following purchase were, apparently, made with the intention
of moving to the Hopewell district, where, with two other families, he was about to found a
settlement in the wilderness.
332 HISTORTC.\L MISCELLANY
1705, July 20. William Crouch, of London, and William Bills [Biles], of Bucks County,
sold to Johathan Stout, of Burlington County, one sixteenth of one one-hundredth part of the
Province of West Jersey.
1 7 14, Mch. 12. He and his wife, Anna, acknowledged a deed.
Jonathan Stout and his famUy were a devout set of people. The first Baptist Church in
Colmnbia village. Township of Hopewell, was organized, Apr. 23, 171 5, with Mr. Stout and his
family representing eight or nine of the fifteen constituent members. The church was consti-
tuted at his house, the meetings were chiefly held at the dwelling of the Stouts, from the foun-
dation of the settlement till the erection of a meeting house, a period of forty-one years, and it
was estimated that the total membership of the church, from first to last, contained, up to 1790,
nearly two himdred of the Stout name, besides as many more of the blood of the Stouts, who
had lost their name by intermarriage with others.
In 1790, two deacons and four elders of the chiu-ch were Stouts, and the late Zebulon and
David Stout had been main piUars of the church. The last Uved to see his descendants number
one himdred and seventeen souls.
In the early career of the HopeweU Church Edwards says that Joseph, Sarah, Benjamin,
Hannah, David and Zebulon Stout were reputed to have gone to Pennsylvania for baptism,
while the other children of Benjamin Stout, viz., Samuel, Jonathan and Ann Stout were bap-
tized in Hopewell, although the church books do not give the names.
1722, Nov. 24. Jonathan Stout made his will, which was proved Mch. 25, 1723, and
mentioned :
f Son, Joseph
\ Daughters, Sarah, Hannah, and
[ Sons, Benjamin, Zebulon, Jonathan and David, to each of whom he gave one shilling.
Son, Samuel, received a negro girl.
Daughter, Ann, received a negro girl.
Executor: Andrew Smith.
The inventory of his estate amounted to £362-2-10^.
Some of the descendants of Jonathan Stout are reputed to have moved to Kentucky, and
the South, about the time of the Revolutionary War.

Cherry Hall Papers.
1710, Aug. 25. Benjamin Stout recorded the cattle-mark that formerly belonged to his
father, Richard Stout, i.
171 5. He was a resident of Delaware.
172 1, May. The above cattle-mark was assumed by John Burrows, Benjamin Stout and
his family, having moved away.
Dr. Thomas Hale Streets, of the U. S. Navy, [133 East Moimt Airy Ave., Mount Airy,
Philadelphia], who has given some time to the study of this hne of the Stouts, says Benjamin
Stout migrated to Delaware and became the ancestor of the Stouts of that State. He also asserts
that he is unable to find any documentary evidence to show that, as has been claimed, Benjamin
Stout ever Uved in Maryland. The statement to this effect may have arisen from the fact,
("a falsity has usually a nucleus of reaUty"), that he owned land on the Maryland road, (it is
so called in deeds), running from Appoquinimink Creek, (Delaware), to Bohemia (Maryland).
He is described in deeds as of George's Creek, in the vicinity of the Dragon Swamp. He after-
ward moved further down the Coimty to Appoquinimink Creek.
In 1721, while he was of George's Creek, he gave lands to his sons, Charles and Benjamin,
Jr., calling the former "his son and heir."
In 1727, he conveyed land on George's Creek that he had purchased, in 1715, the earliest
date when his name appears in the Delaware records, though the deed for this land is not found,
perhaps because some of the old books of New Castle Covmty were lost during the Revolutionary
War.
It is known that Benjamin Stout had a vdfe Agnes, whose name appears among the mem-
bers of the Baptist Church, Middletown, N. J., in 1712. She was living, Feb. 16, 1734, when,
as Agnes Stout, widow of Benjamin Stout, late of Appoquinimink Hundred, Delaware, she
petitioned the Orphan's Court for authority to sell his dweUing plantation, and was joined in
the petition by her son Jacob. Whether Benjamin Stout had any earlier wife than Agnes I do
not know, nor do I know her surname, but inasmuch as Morgan Edwards, in his Contributions
to a History of the Baptists, states that an intermarriage occurred between one of the sons of
Richard and Penelope Stout with a Truax, and, as members of the Truax family, migrated about
the same time as Benjamin Stout, and settled, as his neighbors, in Delaware, it raises the pre-
sumption that Agnes, the wife of Benjamin Stout, might have been a Truax by birth.
Benjamin Stout made his vidll Apr. 25, 1734, which was proved June 10, 1734, wherein he
stated that he was in a "low condition," and bequeathed all his property to his son Jacob; his
wife, mmamed, to be subsisted out of the estate.

LINE OF DAVID STOUT
11 DAVID STOUT, son of Richard Stout, i, was bom, it is said, about 1669, which
seems to me a little late, and I prefer the date of 1667.
In 1690, his father, Richard Stout, Sr., conveyed land to him at Hopp River.
1701, April 3. David Stout, with consent of his wife, Rebecca, sold land in Momnouth
County.
1706, August 19. David Stout, yeoman, of Freehold, sold lands, with the consent of his
wife, Rebecca.
1712. David and Rebecca Stout were members of the Middletown Baptist Church.
1 7 14, Apr. 20. David Stout, of Freehold, yeoman, and Rebecca, his wife, in land trans-
action.
"He moved, about 1725, to Amwell, N. J.; bought lands there and died there very old;
buried on his farm. The old David Stout house, at Amwell, is still standing." Where he is
interred, still remains a Stout burying-ground.
David Stout married Rebecca Ashton, in 1688, said Asher Taylor, Esq.
His residence, in Middletown, was said to have been on land, part of which was, in 1823, in
the possession of Denise Hendrickson, which was near the property of Obadiah Hohnes, the
husband of his wife's sister, AHce Ashton. He remained in Middletown imtil two of his elder
children, James and Rebecca, had married, upon whom he bestowed one hundred acres in

"The original Stouts were largely a red-haired race; not an offensive red, but one with a
touch of gold."
"Penelope Stout was buried on the farm of Mr. KeUy, who piu-chased the same from Mr.
Carman, which lies between Holmdel and Annie Ogbom's Comer."
Perhaps this can be reconciled with the following:
"Penelope Stout's grave can be seen from the windows of the house of Charles Conover (Big
Charley). This farm is, or was, imtil recently, known as the Obadiah StillweU farm and
formed part of the homestead of Richard Stout, the first."
At one time I was inclined to think that Penelope Stout was buried in the Lippit Burying-
groimd, but later evidence convinces me that this was an error.
"The maiden name, perhaps married name, of Penelope Van Princis.was Kent or Lent,"
as Mrs. Seabrook recalls it.
"Penelope was a Dutch woman, and her name I always supposed was Van Prince, either
by birth or marriage, but I think my grandmother called her by another name which I do not
remember. My grandmother never told me whom she married, merely gave the story of the
wreck and her subsequent history." Mrs. T. W. Seabrook, Nov. 4, 1881.
Hope StiU and DeUverance were twms and grandchildren of Penelope Stout, who were
bom, during an Indian excitement, in the block house which was situated on the site of the
of the present Episcopal Church, in Middletown, N. J.
Mrs. Seabrook states that her grandmother, Helena Huff, said that Penelope Stout was
bandaged with withes (the inside bark of a tree) and sewed with gut, and that the Indian who

Captain Stout was, as I have said, an Englishman by birth. He sailed, first, from London in one of the East
India Company's ships, the ' Sampson, ' from Ostend to Calcutta. He was taken a prisoner in the French war.
He had charge, at the time, of a letter of marque. He was a prisoner on board the flag-ship of the Count de
Grasse, when Admiral Rodney took the French fleet.
His second wife was a daughter of William Carpender, a shipmaster. The latter married a daughter of
William Grant, the first person who ever imported potatoes from abroad. He used always to be found at
King's Cofiee House.
Capt. Jacob had by his second wife. Miss Carpender, the following children: Matthew White Stout,
[bom 1796], named after old Henry White, a great merchant as early as 1769, before the war and afterwards.
His daughters, the Miss Whites, I have already written about. The next son was Aquilla Giles Stout, [born
1799]. He was named after Col. Aquilla Giles, who was a very celebrated man in his day; lived for many
years at 54 Broadway, and had a country seat in the upper part of Greenwich village. Another son was
William Carpender [Stout], [born 1801], named after his mother's father, Capt. William Carpender, who
married Miss Grant.
Capt. Jacob Stout's fourth child was Sarah Ann, [born 1804; died 1808]. She died young. The fifth was
Charles Raintaux Stout, [born 1802]. He was named after an old merchant Anthony [Raintaux].
Frances Hogan, [born 1806], was the sixth child. She married Captain Breeze of the navy.
The seventh child was named Lenox Stout, [born 1809], after old Robert Lenox, who was an intimate
friend of old Robert.
The eighth child was Arthur Breeze Stout, [born 1814; died, unmarried, 1898, in San Francisco].
All of these children are deceased, except. William Carpender Stout, [died 1870], and A. Breeze Stout.
[All dead, in 1832, except William, Rainteaux and others.]
Old Capt. Jacob Stout, after he sold his mills at Yonkers, purchased a place at Belleville, where he put up
a flouring null. He ground for the city and for the country. He had two mills. He bought of Doctor
Ogilvey, the Episcopal minister. He lived out there in the summer, and resided in the city in the winter.
He died about 1823.
Jacob, the eldest son of old Capt. Jacob, married [Susan], a daughter of Arthur Breeze, of Utica. They
had two children — a son [Edward] and a daughter [Sarah Lansing Stout]. The son entered the navy. He
married a daughter of Commodore Aulick. He was a lieutenant, and lost in [on] the Levant. He left a widow
and two children. They are in France. [His issue were deceased in 1905.]
Aquilla G. Stout, left a son Francis A., who is still aUve. Also a daughter, Sarah Morris Stout. She
married a Monsieur De Veatt Gringues, [Baron de Vaugrigneuse], of the French Legation. [He died during
the siege of Paris; she died Apr. 22, 1904.]
Consul Ridgway, of Santa Cruz, married the widow of old Captain Jacob Stout [fiirstj.
372 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
Captain W. C. Stout married Miss Henry, daughter of old Captain Henry, one of the oldest captains out
of this port forty years ago. Old Captain Henry married Miss Harved. She was a daughter of Jonathan
Harved. They lived in Pearl street. Mr. Harved was one hundred years old when he died, and his wife
ninety-three. They lived together sixty years. He died in Charles street.
Captain Henry had three daughters. He always said that they never should marry sailors. Yet aU did.
One married Captain Stout; another married Com. Montgomery, U. S. N., now in command at Boston; another
married Dr. Hosea Edwards, of Bridgeport, a Surgeon in the Navy. Old Captain Henry was in the Liverpool
trade.
Captain Stout I have given a full history of in another chapter. He has a place at Huntington, Long
Island, where he spends his summers; and in the winter he stops at the New York Hotel. He has no children.
[He died in 1870, and his wife, DeHa, died in 1877.]
Nearly all of the Stout family descended from old Captain Jacob are dead. There were descendants
from Captain John, but I believe they are dead too. That family lived in Courtlandt street. One son was
Ben Stout. He was lost in the West Indies. His body was buried in Trinity Churchyard.
Amos Butler, who was one of the owners of the Daily Mercantile Advertiser thirty years ago, married
one of the Miss Stouts. I beheve his descendants are living in the city."

Franklin Ellis, in his History of Monmouth County, New Jersey, (Philadelphia 1885), pp.
66, 67 & 68, vi^riting of Richard Stout and his vsdfe, Penelope, quotes Smith's allusions to them
in fuU, introducing his account as f oUows :
"***** the following accoimt is found in a 'History of New Jersey,' published in 1765:"
Having finished Smith's account, he gives a portion of the Stout history as it appears in
Benedict's History of the Baptists, and a little erroneously, and forthwith proceeds to comment
upon it in the following language:
"There is, beyond doubt, a good deal of romance and inaccuracy in both these accounts, though in their
main features they are probably correct. The statement that they lived ' among other Dutch ' at Middletown
is clearly incorrect, as there were no Dutch among the early settlers there. The story of the intended Indian
massacre, too, is undoubtedly the product of a fertOe imagination, as it is well known that the Indians of this
region were always friendly to the English settlers, and never gave them any trouble except an occasional
drunken brawl, which the white men punished by placing the noble red man in the stocks or pillory, just as
they did the same class of white offenders, — a fact which in itself shows that they had no fear of any Indian
massacre. As to Benedict's statement, if it is true that she was born in 1602, and was married to Richard
Stout when she was twenty-two, the time of their marriage must have been the year 1624, at which time he was
forty years of age. They went to Middletown, with the first settlers, in 1664, at which time, (if this statement
is correct), her age was sixty- two, and his eighty years. At that time, and for several succeeding years, Richard
Stout was a prominent man in the public affairs of the Navesink settlements, which would hardly have been the
case at such an age ; and in 1 669, when, (according to the above supposition) , he was eighty-five years old, Rich-
ard Stout, Jonathan Holmes, Edward Smith and James Bowne were chosen 'overseers' of Middletown, and
Stout made his X mark to the ' Ingadgement ' in lieu of signature, — which last mentioned fact makes it improb-
able that he was, as stated, an Englishman 'of good family,' according to the usual English understanding of
that term. Richard Stout was, however, one of the most respectable and respected men in his day in the
Monmouth settlements."
"STOUT or STOUCE, RICHARD, one of the first settlers of G^ in 1643, and allotted plantation-lot No.
18 in 1646, as per town rec; d. about 1688. He also bought Apl. 5, 1661, plantation-lot No. 26 of Edward
Griffen. With a number of his neighbors he left G'' and settled at Middletown, Monmouth Co., N. J., of which
place he was one of the patentees or original purchasers of the Indians, as per p. 73 of Vol. i, of Raum's N. J.
There is a story, founded on tradition, on p. 76, etc., of said Vol., of the shipwreck of a Dutch ship on Sandy
Hook; of the crew and passengers leaving a sick young Dutchman and his wife there whUe they went for
reUef; of the Indians tomahawking the man, manghng the wife and leaving her for dead; of her recovering

and crawling into a hollow log and subsisting for several days on berries, and then being discovered and taken
prisoner and her life preserved by an old Indian, ransomed by the Dutch of N. Y., where she married Richard
Stout, being at the time in her 2 2d year and he in his 40th. They settled at Middletown, where the old Indian
often visited her, and on one occasion, by informing her of a plot to massacre the whites, put them on their
guard and saved the settlement from destruction. This woman, whose maiden name was Penelope Van Prince,
lived to the age of no years, her posterity numbering 502 at the time of her death. The compiler gives this
tradition as he finds it, having little faith therein. Issue (per Rev. G. C. Schenck) : — John; Richard; Jonathan;
Peter; James; Benjamin; David; Deliverance; Sarah; and Penelope, whose descendants are numerous in
N. J. Made his mark to documents."
From Early Settlers of Kings Co. — Bergen — pp. 286, 287, Ed. r88i.
"In a small pamphlet pubUshed in 1790, a very interesting account is given of this family."
" Mrs. Stout was born in Amsterdam, about the year 1602. Her father's name was Vanprinces. She and
her first husband (whose name is not known) sailed for New York (then New Amsterdam) about the year 1620.
The vessel was stranded at Sandy Hook. The crew got ashore, and went toward New York, but the husband
of Penelope being hurt in the wreck, could not travel with them, and they both tarried in the woods.
They had not been long left before the Indians came upon them and killed them as they thought, and
stripped them of their garments. However, Penelope revived, although her skull was fractured and her left
shoulder so injured that she was never able to use it Hke the other, besides she was so cut across the body that
her bowels protruded, and she was obliged to keep her hand upon the wound.
In this situation she continued for seven days, taking shelter in a hollow tree, living on what she could
pick off from the tree. On the seventh day she saw a deer pass with arrows sticking in it, and soon after
appeared two Indians whom she was glad to see, hoping that they would put her out of her misery. Accord-
ingly, one made towards her, to knock her in the head; but the other (who was an elderly man), prevented
him, and throwing his watchcoat about her, took her to his wigwam and cured her of her wounds. Afterwards
he took her to New York and presented her to her countrymen, expecting a present in return, no doubt. It
was in New York that Richard Stout married her, in her twenty-second year. He was from England, of a good
family, and in his fortieth year. They had several children, and Mrs. Stout lived to the age of one hundred and
ten years, and saw her offspring multiplied to five hundred and two in about eighty-eight years."

husband John Stockton. His will, dated Aug. 31, 1745, proved Apr. 4, 1747, gave his daughters-
in-law, (i.e., stepdaughters), Sarah Woolston and Anna Lippincott each £2, and to the three
children of his other stepdaughter, Hannah Butterworth, viz.: David, Joseph and Benjamin,

addition to Sarah and Anna he had likewise a daughter Ann. The following deed is
substantiative of her existence : Jonathan Wright, of Burlington City, conveys to John Mathis

tion therein mentioned did Grant Bargain and sell the aforesaid four hundred acres of land
unto George Douglas of Chesterfield and covmty aforesaid," etc., etc. (Book G. of Deeds,
p. 358, Trenton.)
It is thus alasolutely established that John Ogbome, 2, had two daughters of like name,
Aim and Anna, which in turn raises the query whether he may not have had two wives, giving

him an Ann by one wife and an Anna by the other wife. Or is it that she may have been
originally called Hannah and time and usage changed it to Anna. In the Mott family this
extraordinary duplication of names like'nase occurs for Adam Mott, the first, alludes in his
will to my oldest son Adam and my youngest son Adam, who were his children by different
wives.

Sarah Woolston, dated Oct. 8, 1771, proved Jan. 6, 1772, and was mentioned in the will of his
stepfather Michael Woolston. John Carman married Ann, daughter of Daniel and Hannah
(Fisher) Stockton. Sarah Ogbome married, second, about 1725, Michael, son of John and
Lettice (Newbold) Woolston, who was bom about 1698, and who died, in Northampton town-
ship, Burlington Co., Feb. 27, 1753, aged 55. In his will, Feb. 23, 1751; proved Mch. 5, 1753,
he named his children, relatives, mfe Sarah and stepson John Carman. Her will, (Sarah Wool-
ston), Oct. 8, 1771; proved Jan. 6, 1772, named her two daughters Lettice Hinchman [wife of
Isaac Hinchman] and Ann Briggs; her granddaughters Sarah Briggs, Sarah Hinchman and
Sarah King, and her great-granddaughter Susanna King. The inventory of her estate amoimted
to £285,10,5. In addition to the children above mentioned the grave stones in St. Andrew's
Yard, Mount HoUy, tell of several more, who were apparently carried away in the winter and
spring of 1753, by some epidemic: Job Woolston died, Jan. 27, 1753, aged 23 years, Joseph
Woolston died, May 21, 1753, aged about 18 years, Joshua Woolston died. May 28, 1753, aged
about 27 years, BarzUlai Woolston died, Aug. 25, 1753, aged about 20 years. Also stones to
her son-in-law Levi Briggs, who died, Oct. 31, 1766, aged 26.8.0, [bom Jan. 20, 1739-40], and to

p. 154. William Ogbome, 3, must have had a son William, if the New Jersey Archives,
(Vol. 23, p. 344), correctly state that Mary Ogbome had guardianship given to her brother
William Ogbome Dec. 18, 1721. That such a son existed is not impossible, as John Ogborne, i,
in his will makes no allusion to any grandson John, son of his son William Ogbome, though we
know that such a son existed, so there is no greater call for John Ogbome, i, declaring the
existence of this supposed grandson William Ogbome, of the third generation. But it is
passing strange that William Ogbome, 3, the father, should he have had a son William, should
not have made provision for him in his will, 1 708-9, when the said child was less than ten years
of age, especially when he provided for his other minor son John. If error be eliminated, it
creates the supposition that WiUiam Ogbome, 3, had a wife prior to Mary Cole, whom he
married in 1698.

Jonathan Sleeper came from New Hampshire and became an early settler in Moimt Holly,
Northampton township, Burlington Co., N. J. "In company with eight others he built the first
378 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
saw mill and grist mill and built and lived in the house since known as Lion's house." Ad-
ministration upon his estate was granted to his wife, May lo, 1736. His wife, Hannah, died
shortly after, for January, 1736-7, her wiU was proved, and Thomas Shinn was appointed
administrator in her place upon the estate of her late husband, Jonathan Sleeper, and also guard-
ian of their son John Sleeper.
Jonathan and Hannah (Ogbome) Sleeper had issue: John, Leah, Mary and a posthumous
son Jonathan Sleeper. Of these children Mary Sleeper died, unmarried, leaving a will, Oct. 13,
1752, of Burlington Co., N. J., in which she devised her estate to her brothers, Jonathan and
John Sleeper, and to her sister since Leah Atkinson. Concerning the son John Sleeper, it is
known that he was born 10 mo., 14, 1731, and from the same source, (Burlington Monthly Meet-
ing), that he was Hving at Bridgetown, Northampton township, Burlington Co., carpenter,
when he married, 9 mo., 26, 1754, at Chester Meeting House, Hannah, daughter of Nehemiah
and Ann Haines, of Chester township, in said coimty. They had seven sons and five daughters,
whose births are recorded in the Friends' Records. He removed, in 1768 or 1770, to Otsego
Co., N. Y., with several of his children. Concerning Leah Sleeper, the daughter of Jonathan
and Hannah (Ogbome) Sleeper, it is known that she married, first, A. M. Atkinson, by whom
she had one son, and that upon the death of her husband, Mr. Atkinson, she married, second,
Samuel Atkinson, of Mount HoUy, by whom she had two boys and three girls. Of Jonathan
Sleeper, the son of Jonathan and Hannah (Ogbome) Sleeper, it is known that he married
Sybilla, daughter of Joseph Lippincott, of near Mount HoUy, by whom he had four sons and
three daughters. For further information concerning the Sleeper famQy, see Hoyt's First
Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Mass. ; History of Hampton, N. H. ; Manuscript "History

Ann (Hulitt) Lippincott. In her marriage license she is called Anna. Job Lippincott was of
Springfield, in his will, written 1759, which mentioned his son Job, and his daughters Ann, wife
of Revel Elton, and Sarah Lippincott. Likewise his brother Samuel Lippincott. His daughter
later married her first cousin, Joseph, son of Benjamin and Hannah (Ogbome) Butterworth.

cott became "seized of a certain messuage, tenement and lot of land with the appurtenances
situate in the town of Mount Holly" through purchase from Hugh Hollinshead, Jr., and Mar>'
his wife, who took title from Samuel Stockton, who took title from WiUiam Stockton, his brother,
who became seized of it through his sister Sarah, who died under lawful age, who received the
same from her grandfather Benjamin Brain, who bought the same from Josiah White, who
bought from Samuel Gaskill, who bought from his father Edward Gaskill, who with Josiah South-
wick purchased the same from Samuel Jennings. That the said Anna Lippincott, by her will,
devised the use of the same for Ufe to her daughter Sarah, wife of Joseph Butterworth, with
remainder to Mary, wife of John Black, surveyor, of Mansfield, Elizabeth, Anna and Patience
Lippincott, of Springfield, daughters of her son Job Lippincott, dec**; to Anna, wife of John
Mullen, carpenter, of Northampton, Mar>', wife of Josiah Dimgan, of Philadelphia, Sarah,
Lettice and Elizabeth Butterworth, of Mt. HoUy, daughters of Joseph and Sarah Butterworth;
to Anna, wife of William Rogers, Jr., and daughter of Revell Elton, dec**. This lot of land was

conveyed by the executors of Anna Lippincott, joined by the above interested parties to John
Butterworth, farmer, of Northampton, and John Ross, Practitioner in Physic and surveyor.
Ann Ogbarne, was a daughter of John Ogbome, 2, as estabUshed by the preceding evidence.
While in the will of her stepfather, John Stockton, she is called Hannah, in her grandfather's
will she is called An, and in her marriage license to Benjamin Butterworth, Sept. 11, 1729,
Ann, and in the deed of 1741, Ann, so that we can safely eliminate Hannah and call her Ann.
She became the first -mife of Benjamin Butterworth, 1729, who, following her decease, married,
second, Nov. 18, 1735, Ann McCarty, probably daughter of Dennis McCarty, who died, intes-
tate, in Burlington Co., 1736. Benjamin Butterworth was a weaver by trade and farmer as
well. He was hving as late as Aug. 12, 1742, upon what was apparently the property of Jona-
than Wright, whose executors at this date advertised the sale of the same in the Penn. Gazette.
It comprised 250 acres of land lying within three miles of the City of BurUngton, with a good
log house, a small bam, an orchard, etc. It is from Ann Ogborne and Benjamin Butterworth
that practically all of the name now hving in Burlington Co. are descended. They had issue:
(i) David, who probably died young, (2) Joseph, and (3) Benjamin. Of these children (2)
Joseph was a tanner by trade and in the latter part of his life a brewer in Mount Holly. He
married twice, first, about 1759, his first cousin Sarah, daughter of Job and Anna (Ogbome)
Lippincott by whom he had all his issue; second, EHzabeth, daughter of Francis and Zilpha
Venicomb, and widow of Isaac Lippincott. They, Joseph Butterworth and his wife Anna
Ogbome, had issue: (a) John Butterworth, bom about 1760, died, Jan. 23, 1839, married, first,
Rachel, daughter of Joseph and Charity EajTe; second, June 26, 1796, Rachel Corlies, widow of
Caleb Ridgway, she being born Oct. 31, 1770, and died Mch. 24, 1847; (b) Joseph Butterworth,
Jr., married Sarah, daughter of Thomas and Mirarma (Ridgway) Moore; (c) Ann Butterworth
married John Mullin; (d) Mary Buttera^orth, born Nov. 14, 1770, died June 22, 1818, married,
first, about 1793, Josiah Dungan,* bom Mch. 20, 1771, died Aug. 20, 1811; second, about 1814,

worth; (g) Lettice Butterworth; (h) Elizabeth Butterworth married Francis Prickett.
Benjamin Butterworth, (3), son of Benjamin Butterworth and Ann Ogbome, married, by
license, July 26, 1757, Sarah Likens. I have no further information concerning him. All

in the will of their step-grandfather, John Stockton.

her son Josiah was still young, her husband, Capt. Benjamin Dungan, married again in 1779. Capt. Benjamin Dungan was a
deacon of the Pennypack Baptist Meeting, in Lower Dublin Township, Philadelphia Co., for thirty-four years, and was a descendant
in the fourth generation of the Rev. Thomas Dungan, who came from Rhode Island, in 1683, and settled at Cold Spring, Bucks Co.,
Pa., where he established the first Baptist church in Pennsylvania. Josiah Dungan, by hie wife, Mary Butterworth, had seven

p. 175. William Bickley. Add the following notes to those that appear on pages 170
and 175: Despite the statements of a writer of relatively recent date* which besmirch the
character of William Bickley, there remains convincing evidence that he was an upright Quaker
much esteemed by his neighbors and fellow merchants of New York. He was frequently a
witness to wills, an executor, an administrator, and a scholarly man with some legal attainments,
for he declared to the Court that it was he who drew, in 1690, the will of Col. Lewis Morris.
Charles Lambert, a New York shop keeper, or merchant, died on the Barquentine, St. Mary,
on a journey from Jamaica to New York and made a nuncupative will, Nov. 8, 1691, which
gave part of his estate to his mother and sister residing in the City of Exeter, and the remainder
to his loving uncle William Bickley, in consideration of many kindnesses, excepting his trunk
of books, which he willed to Lewis Morris. His wiU was then proved and letters of administra-
tion were issued, June 7, 1691 [1692], to WiUiam Bickley. Herein may lie some evidence of
the English origin of Bickley. Between Bickley and Col. Lewis Morris there existed a strong
bond of attachment. The latter in his will, Feb. 7, 1690, gave him a negro, half his interest in
the ship Friends Adventure, and made him one of his executors. He was apparently Morris'
neighbor in Westchester, yet he at some time probably resided in New York City. He made
his will, 3, 5 mo., 1707. An abstract of it is given on page 175 of this volume from which was
omitted the following items: should his grandson William Cook fail to serve out his indented
time he only receives 2 pieces of 8; to his daughters-in-law one Arabian piece of gold of 12
shillings value ; to Thomas Ives and his wife Susannah £5 to purchase a small piece of plate in
consideration of their kindness to me and mine; to Dr. John Redman, Hugh Cowperthwaite

and Samuel Bowne, of Flushing, each £10, and to George Curtis, John Lippincott, Sr., and
WiUiam Worth, of Shrewsbury, N. J., each £5. Appoints his son Abraham his executor. He
had a wife Susannah, Uving in 1698, but who predeceased him.
The allusion to WiUiam Bickley's daughters-in-law [step-daughters?] justly raises the
presumption that he may have had a second wife, a widow with daughters, but she must have
predeceased him for he makes no provision for any wife. His own children Sarah, Elizabeth
and Abraham married and had issue, in all a goodly number, and to these he -nilled each 12
shillings. Sarah, his daughter, married, first, Mr. Lawrence, second, Thomas Potter (see Potter
Family) and, third, Henry Graves. Mr. Lawrence I have not been able to identify. Thomas
Potter was about 65 years old when he married, in 1695, Sarah Bickley Lawrence, and it is
noteworthy that their marriage certificate had none of his children among the witnesses. Her
kindred on the other hand were present. Potter's previous wife, Ann, did not die tiU 1694,
which is good reason to beUeve that she was the mother of all of his issue. If this is correct
deduction her four children were most likely Lawrences, perhaps Graves. They were hardly
likely to have been Thomas Potter's children for he would have been between 66 and 72 years
of age at the time of their birth and they would have been minors at the date of his death, in
1702, and no provision was made for any minor child in his will.
Sarah Bickley outUved her third husband, for, Aug. 23, 1720, for £50, Sarah Graves, of
Shrewsbury, widow of Henry Graves, sold land on Rumson Neck to Timothy Halstead, late of
Orange Co., N. Y., that had been conveyed to her by her father, William Bickley, dec**, by
deed Mch. 10, 1704. By her owti deed of Dec. 19, 1709, as Sarah, widow of Thomas Potter,
she conveyed to Thomas White, single man, land at Rumson "where she now Uves" likewise
derived from her father, probably part of a joint tract.
Concerning William Bickley's daughter, Elizabeth, not much is known, but she was mar-
ried to Thomas, son of Thomas Cook, prior to 29, i mo., 1695, when they, Thomas and Ehzabeth
Cook, were present as witnesses at the marriage of her sister Sarah Bickley Lawrence to Thomas
Potter. Thomas Cook died leaving a will dated 1698 and proved 1699, wherein he mentioned
his eldest son WUUam Cook, his son Thomas Cook and his daughter EUzabeth Cook, a minor,
and his %\ife Elizabeth, whom he made executrix. She apparently married after his decease
Nicholas Brown, for her father, in his will, 1707, calls her EUzabeth Brown, and gives 12 shillings
to his son-in-law Nicholas Brown and £20 conditionaUy to his grandson WiUiam Cook. She
was ignored in the wUl of her brother Abraham Bickley, 1725, but her three children, WiUiam
and Thomas Cook and EUzabeth, their sister, and Matthew Birchfield, (probably her husband),
whom he caUs kinsman, received legacies, hence she was probably dead.
The difficulty which now presents itself is to determine which Nicholas Brown married
EUzabeth Bickley. It would appear that he was Nicholas, son of Abraham, son of Nicholas
Brown, who, died 1723-4, lea\'ing a wiU wherein he named his wife EUzabeth, but unfortunately
she is known to have been EUzabeth, daughter of Abiah Edwards, which is confirmed by the
fact that the rare name of Abiah occurs among the children of Preserve Brown and that there
is a Neomy Brown, of Burlington Co., who had a Ucense to marry James Killgore, Dec. 14, 1730,
and this name, Naomi, is likewise an Edwards family name. In possible explanation of this
situation it may be possible that Nicholas Brown had two wives by the name of EUzabeth, one
Elizabeth Edwards and the other EUzabeth Bickley Cook.
Concerning Abraham, the son of William Bickley, some information may be extracted from
his vn\l, written Oct. 13, 1725, proved Mch. 28, 1726. In his father's will, 1707, he is aUuded
to as of PhUadelphia, but in his own will he caUs himself, merchant, of Burlington, and alludes
to his "present wife Dorothy," and the foUowng children: William, EUzabeth, Polgreen,
Samuel, Hannah, Susannah, Abraham, Mary ; his sister, Sarah Graves, and her four children,
kinsman, WilUam Cook, his brother, Thomas Cook, and sister, EUzabeth, and Mathew Birch-
382 HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
field (who was probably Elizabeth's husband); his brother-in-law, William Hudson. Who
the last wife, Dorothy, was I do not know, but his first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas
Gardner, and brother to John and Thomas Gardner, to whom he was married, prior to 1696,
for in that year and again in 1698, William Bickley and Susannahh, is wife, joined by Abraham
Bickley and Elizabeth, his wife, made conveyances. (N. J. Archives, Vol. xxi, pp. 294, 537.)
The record of the births of some of Abraham and Elizabeth Bickley's children is to be
found in the Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting Records, and no doubt the record of the others is
spread upon the books of the Friends in other locaUties. This record gives likewise the date of
death of his wife Elizabeth Gardner, 3 mo., 15, 17 14, apparently six days after the birth of her
son Benjamin with which event it was doubtless associated: Susanna, born 3, 11, 1702, buried,
7, 16, 1702; Samuel, born 4, 2, 1703, (an executor in his father's will and who advertised for

interest of the West Jersey Society, in Cape May, known as the Vacant Right, for the small sum
of £300, for which he was severely attacked and criticised. He was a very successful, industri-
