LAYTON  FAMILY 
OF 

MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  NEW  JERSEY 


1  WILLIAM  LAYTON,  an  Englishman,  with  his  name  spelled  six  different  ways 
(Laighion,  Lai  ton,  Latone,  Lattone,  Lawton,  Lay  ten),  was  one  of  the  pioneer  settlers  of 
Middletown,  New  Jersey. 

1688,  Mch.  25.  He  had  a  patent  for  land  granted  to  him  which  was  surveyed  June 
9,  1688.  Jan.  4,  1688,  he  recorded  his  cattle-mark.  Apr.  30,  1703,  John  Stout,  in  a 
conveyance  of  land  to  his  son  Richard  Stout,  lying  in  Middletown,  mentioned  the  lands 
of  Richard  Mount  and  William  Lay  ton  as  abutting  properties. 

1702,  Aug.  17-18,  he  made  his  will  as  William  Lawton;  proved  June  28,  1708,  in 
which  he  named  his  wife  executrix,  and  she  was  probably  the  Violet  Lawton  to  whom 
letters  of  administration  were  issued,  and  his  six  children.

It  is  possible  there  was  some  kinship  between  John  Layton,  of  Newport,  R.  I.,  who 
deeded  land  to  Richard  Tew  in  payment  for  swine  on  Jan.  14,  1674,  ^"d  William  Lawton, 
of  Monmouth  County,  and  perhaps  even  more  likely  that  a  kinship  existed  between 
William  Layton,  of  Monmouth  County,  and  Thomas  Lawton,  of  Portsmouth:  "Thomas 
Lawton,  of  Portsmouth,  Rhode  Island,  to  Giles  Slocum  of  ye  aforesaid  town  and  province 
2  whole  shares  of  land  by  me  purchased  of  W"  Reape  of  the  place  commonly  called  Nava- 
sink  Narumsunk  and  Pootapeck,  also  land  in  and  near  Shrewsbury,  April  i,  1672. 
Witnesses:  John  Sanford,  William  Mairs."

2  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

2  WILLIAM  LAYTON,  son  of  William  Layton,  i,  received  his  father's  lands  in 
Middletown,  as  appears  under  a  conveyance  in  17 lo,  from  Richard  Mount  to  Eden  Bur- 
rows, wherein  his  land  is  mentioned  as  upon  the  boundary,  and  which  land  we  know  had 
been  his  father's.  However,  Aug.  lo,  1704,  he  was  settled  at  Freehold,  where  he  con- 
veyed land  for  £13,  to  Samuel  Layton,  which  he  had  by  deed  from  Richard  Hartshorne 
Aug.  22,  1690,  bounded  by  formerly  Richard  Stout,  Jr.,  George  Keith,  formerly  William 
Scott  and  the  Gully.  The  witnesses  were  Thomas  Layton,  John  Lawrence  and  William 
Lawrence.  By  deduction  he  was  born  between  1660  and  1670,  and  came  with  his  father 
when  a  mere  lad  to  Middletown. 

1731,  Apr.  10,  he  made  his  will;  proved  May  15,  1735,  calling  himself  of  Freehold, 
yeoman,  and  mentioned: 

to  his  "cousin  William  Layton,  Jr.,  of  Freehold,  yeoman,  all  that  tract  of  land  I  pxirchased  of  William 
Scott;"  wife  Mary,  upon  whose  death  the  residue  of  his  estate  is  to  pass  to  the  aforesaid  William  Layton, 
Jr.  Executors:  Jonathan  Forman,  Esq.,  William  Maddock.  Witnesses:  James  Stanley,  George  Seemur, 
Mary  Romaine.  He  made  his  mark  to  the  will.  His  inventory  was  taken  Feb.  5,  1734,  and  amounted 
to  £257,09,cx). 

The  "cousin"  to  whom  he  left  his  property  was  no  doubt  a  nephew  named  after 
him,  and  probably  the  son  of  his  brother  John  Layton,  5,  yet  he  may  have  been  a  son 
of  his  brother,  Samuel  Layton,  6. 

3  THOMAS  LAYTON,  son  of  William  Layton,  i,  resided  at  Lower  Freehold, 
where  he  died  in  1741,  for  Sept.  26,  of  that  year,  letters  of  administration  upon  his  estate 
were  issued  to  Joseph  Williams  and  Peter  Romeyne,  of  Lower  Freehold,  yeomen.

who  died  1748,  and  whose  wife  was  Rebecca;  Layton  Romyne  and  Samuel 
Romyne. 

There  was  a  Thomas  Layton  who,  with  wife  Lydia,  sold  land  on  Manasquan  River 
to  Christopher  Romine,  of  Bethlehem,  Hunterdon  County,  N.  J.,  Nov.  i,  1742.

4  ANDREW  LAYTON,  son  of  William  Layton,  i,  recorded  his  earmark  in  Mid- 
dletown, N.  J.,  Mch.  II,  1725-6,  and  this  same  mark  is  next  found  recorded  to  another 
Andrew  Layton,  Dec.  24,  1764,  who  was  the  son  of  John  Layton  and  brother  of  Safety 
Layton.

and  still  later,  June  20,  1765,  to  William  Layton's  nephew,  and  of  course  John  Layton's 
grandson,  Anthony  Layton.

LAYTON  FAMILY  OF  MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  N.  J.  3 

6  SAMUEL  LAYTON,  son  of  William  Layton,  i,  married  Janet,  daughter  of 
William  Oliphant.  They  were  members  of  the  Middletown  Baptist  Church  in  17 12,  and 
he  was  visited  by  a  committee  from  this  church  in  1722.  He  died  about  1732,  and  his 
wife  was  still  alive  April,  1734.  From  deeds  recorded  at  Freehold,  N.  J.,  it  appears  that 
May  30,  1732,  his  widow  Janet,  signing  by  her  mark,  and  his  son  Samuel  Laton,  as  heir 
to  his  father  Samuel  Layton,  deceased,  conveyed  to  Andrew  Layton  his  brother  (and 
son  of  Samuel  and  Janet),  land  bounded  by  Thomas  Layton  on  the  North,  by  John 
Layton  on  the  East,  by  Stephen  Aumack  and  William  Layton  on  the  South.  Again  the 
same  individuals  were  grantees  May  30,  1733?  to  Samuel  and  Janet  Lay  ton's  son, 
Thomas  Layton,  Jr.,  of  fifty-four  acres  of  land  which  said  deceased  Samuel  Layton  had 
by  deed  from  John  Heritage  Nov.  i,  1707.  Thomas  Lay  ten,  Jr.,  and  Samuel  Lay  ten, 
yeoman,  conveyed  to  Andrew  Layten,  yeoman,  part  of  a  tract  of  land  granted  to  Samuel 
Layton,  the  deceased  father  of  the  said  Thomas,  Samuel  and  Andrew  Layten,  by  deed 
from  John  Heritage  Nov.  i,  1707.

13  William  Layton,  supposed;  as  both  he  and  the  father  of  Samuel  Layton,  6, 

were  christened  William,  but  there  is  no  evidence  to  prove  such  a  son, 
except  he  was  the  legatee  named  in  the  will  of  William  Layton,  2.

10  JOHN  LAYTON,  son  of  Andrew  Layton,  4,  must  have  stood  in  this  relation, 
and  have  married  a  daughter  of  Safety  Bowne,  from  the  fact  that  the  names  of  his  oldest 
sons  were  Andrew  and  Safety  Layton  (after  their  respective  grandfathers),  and  because 
the  earmark  of  Andrew  Layton  of  1725-6  is  next  found  recorded  to  an  Andrew  Layton 

1761,  Mch.  I,  he  made  his  will,  which  is  recorded  in  Trenton,  N.  J.;  proved  May  13, 
1761,  and  refers  to  "my  four  eldest  sons,  viz.:  Safety,  Andrew,  John  and  William, 
which  implies  that  he  had  more,  and  the  will  of  his  son  Andrew  Layton  proves  that  they 
were  James  and  Samuel  Layton.

issue:  Daniel,  Abraham,  William,  Elizabeth,  Hannah  and  Mary  Smith. 

35  Johannah  Layton 

36  Sarah  Layton  married  Ezekial  Cooper  by  license  Aug.  28,  (Sept.  4),  1766.

Charlotty  (married  Mr.  Mathews),  Benjamin,  Samuel  (who  had  Sarah 
Ann  and  Ezekial),  William  (who  had  Sarah)  and  Thomas  Cooper  (who  had 
Sarah). 

14  JOHN  LAYTON,  son  of  Samuel  Layton,  6,  resided  at  Freehold,  N.  J.,  Dec.  6, 
1729,  when  his  father  conveyed  him  land. 

15  SAMUEL  LAYTON,  son  of  Samuel  Layton,  6,  resided  at  Freehold,  N.  J.,  and 
was  grantee  of  lands  May  30,  1733,  from  his  brother  Andrew  Layton,  bounded  by  John 
Layton,  Stephen  Aumack  and  William  Layton.  He  also  appears  in  other  land  trans- 
actions about  this  date. 

16  ANDREW  LAYTON,  son  of  Samuel  Layton,  6,  was  of  Freehold,  N.  J.,  Mch. 
5,  1729,  when  his  father  conveyed  land  to  him  bounded  on  the  North  by  formerly  James 
Stout,  on  the  East  by  formerly  James  BoUen,  on  the  West  by  formerly  John  Oakesson, 
on  the  South  unsurveyed,  to  which  the  grantor  had  right  by  deed  of  Richard  Osborn 
dated  Oct.  8, 1712. 


LAYTON  FAMILY  OF  MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  N.  J.  5 

1729,  Mch.  5,  his  father  again  conveyed  land  to  him  deeded  to  grantor  by  Gawen 
Drummond  Apr.  20,  1715. 

1729,  Mch.  6,  he,  Andrew  Lay  ton,  16,  conveyed  this  last  mentioned  tract  of  land  to 
David  Clayton,  Jr.,  yeoman,  of  Freehold,  which  lay  in  Freehold  near  the  head  of  Manas- 
quan  River. 

He  also  appears  in  several  other  land  transactions. 

17  THOMAS  LAYTON,  son  of  Samuel  Layton,  6,  as  Thomas  Layton,  Jr.,  of 
Freehold,  N.  J.,  yeoman,  with  Lidea  his  wife,  sold  land  on  Manasquan  River  for  £70,  to 
Samuel  Layton,  of  the  same  place,  and  which  the  grantor  had  title  to  by  deed  from 
Theophilus  Bartow  June  7,  1735. 

In  1742  (Nov.  i),  he  apparently  had  moved  to  Shrewsbury,  N.  J.,  for  he,  then  of 
that  place,  with  Lydia  his  wife,  conveyed  to  Christopher  Romine,  of  Bethelehem,  Hun- 
terdon County,  yeoman,  the  remainder  of  the  Bartow  purchase  of  1735,  on  Manasquan 
River.  He  appears  in  other  land  transactions  in  1733  and  1734. 

18  SAFETY  LAYTON,  son  of  John  Layton,  10,  was  a  resident  of  Shrewsbury, 
N.  J.,  when  he  had  a  marriage  license  with  Christian  Fleming,  George  Harrison,  of 
Shrewsbury,  surety.  r  .     r         u 

He  was  on  the  Poor  Rate  and  Dog  Tax  of  1764;  was  called  one  of  the  four  eldest 
sons  and  named  as  an  executor  in  the  will  of  his  father  Mch.  i,  1761. 

From  his  name  Safety,  I  am  confident  that  he  was  a  grandson  of  Safety  Bowne  who 
in  turn  was  a  grandson  of  Safety  Grover.  He  was  still  residing  in  Shrewsbury  when  he 
made  his  will  Mch.  20,  1790,  proved  May  8,  1790,  in  which  he  left  his  son  James  10 
shillings  and  the  remainder  of  his  estate  to  his  wife,  daughter  Rebecca  and  sons  Joseph, 
Thomas  and  Safety,  who  were  not  yet  twenty-one.

Layton's  earmark,  and  it  passed  upon  his  decease,  to  his  son  Isaac.  He  was  named  by 
his  father  John  Layton,  second  in  the  list  of  his  four  eldest  sons  in  the  will  of  1 761 . 

Andrew  Layton's  will  was  written  Apr.  22,  1800,  proved  July  16,  1800,  and  in  it  fie 
said  he  was  far  advanced  in  years,  and  bequeaths  to  the  "heirs  of  my  brothers  James, 
Samuel  and  John  Layton,  $20.,  as  a  bar  to  any  Pretensions,"  and  left  to  Isaac  Layton  all 
his  lands  in  Middletown,  with  reversion  to  the  heirs  of  Nancy  Sowden  and  Mary  Layton, 
calling  the  latter  "the  youngest  daughter  of  Margaret  my  housekeeper.' 

1761,  Dec.  19,  he  had  a  license  to  marry  Mary  Wilkison,  of  Freehold,  witfi  John

44  Isaac  Layton  probably  died  intestate,  without  issue,  as  the  property  of 

Andrew  Layton,  19,  was  sold  Dec.  23,  1852,  as  the  real  estate  of  Thomas

23^  JAMES  LAYTON,  son  of  John  Layton,  10,  was  probably  named  after  his

hundred  and  forty  acres  of  land  in  Monmouth  County,  and  that  his  ancestors  were

TALLMAN 

OF 

NEW  JERSEY 

The  Tallmans  of  New  Jersey  are  represented  by  several  branches  of  the  name  having 
a  common  ancestor  in  Peter  Tallman,  i,who  settled  in  Newport  and  Portsmouth,  Rhode 
Island,  where  he  died  in  1708.  Concerning  him  and  his  immediate  issue,  J.  0.  Austin 
supplies  the  following  data: 

1655.  He  was  a  freeman. 

1657,  June  9.  Peter  Taalman  was  on  thelist  of  New  Amsterdam  burghers. 

1658,  Dec.  18.  He  bought  nine  acres  in  Portsmouth,  for  35  shillings  an  acre,  and  two 
days  later  added  six  acres  more  to  the  first  purchase. 

1 66 1,  May  21.  Portsmouth.  He  was  elected  General  Solicitor  for  the  Colony  of 
Rhode  Island. 

1661-1662.  He  was  a  Commissioner. 

1662-1665.  He  was  Deputy. 

1665.  The  Assembly  granted  him  a  divorce  from  his  wife  Ann.* 

1665,  July  24.  He  entered  into  an  ante-nuptial  agreement  with  Joan  Briggs,  of 
Taunton,  agreeing  to  give  her  the  land  that  he  had  bought  in  1658,  as  also  a  house  to  be 
hers  and  the  heirs  born  of  this  marriage.  He  also  gave  her  a  bed  and  half  the  household 
goods,  but  if  she  died  without  issue,  they  were  to  revert  to  his  eldest  son,  Peter  Tallman, 
Jr.,  and  if  he  died  without  issue,  then  to  the  eldest  daughter  of  Peter  Tallman,  Sr.,  Mary, 
and  her  heirs.  Further,  he  gave  to  Joan,  absolutely,  as  a  free  gift  of  donation,  "three 
good  cows  and  a  breeding  mare." 

1674,  June  7.  He  was  imprisoned,  but  released  at  this  date  for  having  taken  from 
the  Indians  lands  by  deed  of  gift  in  violation  of  the  law  of  Massachusetts,  he  having 
surrendered  the  same. 

*The  case  of  Peter  Tallman  was  tried  upon  petition  by  the  Assembly.  Peter  Tallman  applied  for  a  divorce  from  his  wife  on 
the  ground  of  adultery.  The  woman  brought  before  the  Assembly  admitted  the  charge.  The  petition  was  granted  at  once  and  then 
the  criminal,  upon  her  own  confession,  was  arraigned  for  sentence.  The  penalty  was  a  fine  and  whipping,  and  she  was  accordingly 
sentenced  by  the  terms  of  the  law,  to  pay  the  fine  of  ten  pounds  and  to  receive  fifteen  stripes,  at  Portsmouth,  on  the  ensuing  Mon- 
day, and  on  the  following  Wednesday  another  fifteen  stripes,  at  Newport,  and  to  be  impnsoned  till  the  sentence  was  fulfilled. 

Upon  her  petition  for  mercy,  the  Court  again  examined  her  as  to  whether  she  intended  to  return  to  her  husband.  This  she 
refused  to  do  upon  any  terms.     Her  petition  was  denied  and  she  was  remanded  for  punishment.'* 

**She  escaped  from  prison  and  was  gone  two  years.  Upon  her  return  to  the  Colony,  in  May,  1667,  she  was  arrested  and 
petitioned  the  Court  for  mitigation  of  sentence.  The  fine  and  one-half  of  the  corporal  punishment  were  remitted,  and  the  remamder, 
fifteen  stripes  to  be  inflicted  at  Newport,  was  executed.  Arnold's  Hist,  of  Rhode  Island,  l^ol.  I,  p.  270.

19  DOCTOR  STEPHEN  TALLMAN,  son  of  Dr.  James  Tallman,  10,  was  born 
at  Portsmouth,  Rhode  Island,  June  30,  1702,  (Town  Record),  and  died  at  his  residence. 
Pumpkin  Point,  Shrewsbury,  N.  J.,  Aug.  24,  1774,  aged  74  (tombstone).  These  dates 
are  contradictory  but  are  correctly  quoted.  He  married  Nov.  11,  1724,  Mary,  daughter 
of  John  and  Sarah  (Wilson)  Potter,  born  Mch.  2,  1707.  See  also  Austin  s  Genealogical 
Dictionary  of  Rhode  Island.  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman  was  the  founder  of  a  large  family 
located  in  Shrewsbury,  N.  J.  The  Tallman  blood  ran  riotously.  Through  what  ante- 
cedent strains  it  was  derived,  I  can  only  conjecture,  but  there  is  ample  proof  that  its 
fiery  character  appeared  in  six  generations,  commencing  with  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman,  19. 
They  were  unmoral  and  irreligious;  ugly  tempered  and  defiant  of  law  and  social  restraint. 
In  these  respects  they  came  close  to  primitive  man.  They  lived  the  life  of  landed  squires, 
owning  many  slaves  and  much  land,  and  possessed  much  ready  wealth.  They  were  well 
educated  and  contributed  many  members  to  the  medical  profession,  and  a  goodly  number 
of  natural  children  to  the  world  at  large.  During  the  Revolutionary  War  the  family  was 
split  with  many  more  of  its  members  adhering  to  the  Whig  than  to  the  Tory  cause.  In 
some  instances  it  was  brother  against  brother. 

In  1728,  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman  was  residing  in  Portsmouth. 

In  173 1,  he  was  called  Esquire,  in  the  same  place. 

In  1733  and  1738,  he  was  called  yeoman,  of  Portsmouth. 

Dr.  Stephen  Tallman  became  involved  in  one  of  the  largest  real  estate  speculations 
ever  initiated  in  the  State  of  Rhode  Island.  This  ambitious  venture  failed,  and  brought 
ruin  to  him  and  his  associates.  June  18,  1747,  Joseph  Scott,  of  Newport,  merchant, 
deposed:  that  Dec.  7,  1743  there  was  a  vendue  of  the  lands  of  Stephen  Tallman,  of 
Portsmouth,  by  the  Sheriff  for  a  judgment  of  court,  obtained  by  John  Potter,  of  South 
Kingstown,  in  the  County  of  King's,  yeoman.  Part  of  the  estate  was  bought  by  Joseph 
Scott,  aforesaid,  for  £4,990.  This  property  had  furthermore  been,  in  part,  mortgaged 
by  Stephen  Tallman  and  others,  for  large  sums  of  money,  at  divers  times,  to  the  Colony 
of  Rhode  Island.  The  date  and  the  cause  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman's  departure  from 
Rhode  Island  may  largely  be  determined  by  this  mishap,  and  it  was  doubtless  at  this 
unfortunate  turn  in  his  affairs  that  he  sought  a  new  home  in  Monmouth  County,  New 
Jersey,  whither  many  of  his  kindred,  and  many  Rhode  Islanders,  had  long  been  settled. 
Even  here  trouble  followed  him,  for  Mch.  24,  1747,  he  was  haled  before  the  Court,  sitting 
at  Burlington,  N.  J.,  by  John  Potter,  of  South  Kingston,  King's  County,  R.  I.,  as  execu- 
tor of  Sarah  Potter,  widow,  late  of  the  same  place,  to  recover  £351,  £412  and  £5381, 
evidently  monies  used  in  his  recent  Rhode  Island  land  transactions.  Supreme  Court 
Files,  Trenton,  N.  J.     The  widow,  Sarah  Potter,  was  doubtless  his  mother-in-law,  and 


TALLMAN^  OF  NEW  JERSEY  i^ 

John  Potter  his  brother-in-law.  From  the  size  of  the  loans,  Sarah  Potter  was,  evidently 
a  woman  of  wealth.  It  is  regrettable  that  so  little  is  known  of  the  origin,  growth  and 
collapse  of  this  business  venture,  which  so  strongly  appealed  to  these  thrifty  people  and 
which  resulted  so  calamitously. 

With  the  remnants  of  his  fortune  Dr.  Tallman  acquired  Mch.  23,  1741,  from  James 
and  Kezia  Tallman,  one  of  the  largest  and  most  fertile  estates  in  Monmouth  County.  It 
lay  in  Shrewsbury  township,  on  an  arm  of  the  Shrewsbury  River,  and  ultimately  amounted 
to  seven  hundred  acres  and  its  devious  and  indented  shores  presented  about  three  miles 
of  water  front.  Here,  upon  a  knoll  whose  shores  sloped  to  the  water,  and  which  was 
commonly  called  Pumpkin  Point,  he  settled  in  Sally  Reap's  primitive  house,*  which  he 
shortly,  (in  1741),  converted  into  a  kitchen,  and  attached  it  to  the  fine  and  commodious 
residence  he  erected  on  this  site.  The  estate  passed  from  his  descendants,  m  1837,  to 
the  Newbolds,  then  to  the  Shermans,  and  finally,  to  a  land  syndicate,  for  $100,000.,  it  is 
stated,  consisting  of  William  Conover  (Black  Bill),  Stacy  Conover  and  others,  who 
plotted  the  land,  and  who  still  own  the  property  and  run  the  old  house  as  the  Potapeck 

(Port-au-Peck)  Hotel.  j-     ,  r    u-  •,  u-    j      u      o- 

Upon  this  estate  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman  lived  in  prodigal  fashion  until  his  death.  His 
plantation  was  worked  by  his  negroes  under  his  supervision  and  he  practiced  medicine. 
He  established  his  sons  upon  large  farms,  and  they  seemingly,  had  the  funds  in  their 
possession  to  pay  him  for  the  same,  especially  so  in  the  instance  of  his  son  James,  to 
whom  he  conveyed  the  Potapeck  property,  Apr.  2,  1774,  only  a  few  months  preceding  his 
death,  for  the  large  sum  of  £3700.  It  is  because  of  this  disposition  of  his  estate  during  his 
lifetime  that  he  probably  found  it  unnecessary  to  make  a  will.  His  daughters,  it  is 
traditional,  received  large  amounts  in  cash.  Some  of  his  family  silver  marked  s.  Im. 
(Stephen  and  Mary  Tallman),  is  now  in  my  {John  E.  Stillwell,  191 5),  possession.  His 
professional  mantle  fell  upon  his  two  sons,  Joseph  and  Christopher  Tallma^,  who,  with 
four  descendants,  through  his  daughter,  Martha  Tallman,  wife  of  Col.  Thomas  Sea- 
brook,  and  a  father.  Dr.  James  Tallman,  and  an  uncle  Dr.  Peter  Tallman,  make  a  total 
contribution  to  the  healing  profession  of  no  less  than  nine  of  Tallman  blood  in  six 
generations.

(C^my  i/a//  Papers). 


An  estate  supposedly  belonging  to  the  Tallmans,  was  vigorously  sought,  for  a  time, 
by  Samuel  Tallman,  assisted  by  his  granddaughter's  husband  Harry  C.  Newel,  of  Long 
Branch,  N.  J.  They  interviewed  John  R.  Livingston,  a  former  slave,  of  whom  more 
anon,  copied  many  records,  employed  lawyers,  addressed  the  Bank  of  England,  the 
British  Consul,  in  New  York,  and  the  British  Minister  in  Washington,  but  without  avail. 
They  were  inspired  to  this  activity  by  a  chain  of  circumstances  which  I  briefly  enumerate. 

Samuel  Tallman  remembered  that  his  uncle  Humphrey  Williams  told  him  that  some 
day  he  would  inherit  great  wealth  through  the  wife  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman,  and  retained 
a  vague  recollection  that  her  name  was  Mary  Morgan,  though  he  may  have  received  the 
impression  of  her  name  from  other  sources:  further,  that  at  various  times  men  came  to 
Monmouth  County  in  search  of  information  concerning  the  Tallman  family,  perhaps 
concerning  Mary,  the  wife  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman.  This  first  visit  was  about  1866. 
About  1870,  one,  David  McAlpine,  came  to  Monmouth  County  and  stated  that  he  was 


TALLMAN  OF  NEW  JERSEY  17 

employed  by  Peter  Tallman,*  formerly  of  Canada,  to  hunt  for  an  English  estate  and 
which  his  researches  led  him  to  believe  belonged  to  the  heirs  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman  and 
not  to  the  heirs  of  Peter  Tallman, 

It  was  an  easy  thing  to  inflame  the  minds  of  many  members  of  the  Tallman  family, 
and  he  entertained  them  with  stories  of  a  very  wealthy  ancestor,  a  herdsman,  m  England, 
by  the  name  of  Morgan,  or  by  another  statement  that  this  ancestor  was  an  owner  of 
immense  coal  mines  in  Wales,  and  dying  a  bachelor,  had  left  his  vast  property  to  two 
sisters,  one  Elizabeth,  who  married  and  settled  in  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  for  whose 
heirs  he  had  already  secured  an  immense  sum,  and  the  other,  Mary  Morgan,  the  wife  of 
Dr.  Stephen  Tallman,  whose  descendants  he  had  now  joyfully  located.  The  English  or 
Welsh  properties  had  been  sold  and  the  money  placed  in  chancery,  where  it  was  drawing 
interest  to  the  amount  of  one  million  dollars  a  year.  I  have  little  doubt  that  David 
McAlpine  was  a  shark  working  both  ends  of  the  line,  the  descendants  oi  Peter  1  allman, 
in  Canada,  and  the  descendants  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman  in  Monniouth  County. 

There  was  much  uncertainty  left  in  the  minds  of  all,  when  David  McAlpine  left  for 
his  home  at  Fonthill,  Pelham  Township,  Canada,  West,  for  they  took  no  memoranda  of 
the  names  and  places  he  supplied  them.  One  person  claimed  that  Mary  Morgan  s  sister 
settled  in  Connecticut,  and  that  one  Morgan,  an  assistant  at  the  tollgate,  called  Lame 
Morgan,  came  from  that  state  to  Eatontown,  N.  J.,  but  left  and  returned  to  the  home  of 
his  Connecticut  relatives.  Another  account  states  that  Ethan  Allen  and  his  brother 
Charles  Allen,  descendants  of  Stephen  Tallman,  received  private  information  from  Mr. 
McAlpine,  bought  him  off  and  obtained  the  money  in  chancery.  Occasionally  letters 
came  from  McAlpine  or  his  wife,  and  then  ceased.  Members  of  the  famUy  became  sus- 
picious of  each  other,  employed  various  lawyers  and  finally  the  whole  effort  fizzled  out 
for  want  ofexact  data  and  connecting  links.  .        ,       •  •        j  .u  c 

John  R.  Livingston,  the  negro  previously  mentioned  as  interviewed,  was  the  son  of 
John  Livingston,  a  slave  of  Barnes  Smock,  of  Middletown,  and  had  married  Rosanna 
Williams,  a  wench  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman  of  Pumpkin  Point.  They  lived  with  their 
respective  masters  and  had  born  to  them  (slaves  of  Dr. Tallman),  a  daughter  Rosanna 
Livingston,  and  a  son,  the  aforementioned  John  R.  Livingston,  who  was  reputed  to  have 
reached  the  age  of  one  hundred  and  fifteen  years,  in  1878,  when  he  was  residing  at 
Branchport,  N  J.  This  would  make  his  birth  date,  if  his  age  is  accurately  given  the 
year  1763,  and  his  age  at  the  time  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman's  death  eleven  years.  I  am 
precise  in  giving  these  dates  as  I  have  seen  them  recorded  by  certain  membe  s  of  Mr 
Samuel  Tallman's  family,  for  I  doubt  much  whether  a  youth  of  ^le^"  ^  bUck  and 
uneducated,  could  recite  from  recollection,  accurately,  many  stories  concerning  Dr.  1  all- 
man,  his  wife  and  children,  without  drawing  upon  a  very  lively  'magmation 

When  Livingston  was  interviewed  in  1878,  it  was  stated  that  he  was  in  the  held 
ploughing,  a  remarkable  fact  when  you  consider  his  great  age  which  ^fd^jPf  ^"behe^e 
that  his  age  was  exaggerated,  and  if  so,  his  years,  at  the  time  he  ived  with  Dr.  1  allman 
were  n  ceSarily  profortiona'tely  less.  Further, .it  must  be.reca  led  that  any  testimony

his  statements  it  would  appear  that  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman  handled  his  slaves  severely 
and  even  cruelly.  They  were  likely  to  be  whipped  if  he  were  angered,  and  if  this  failed 
to  curtail  their  petty  rebellion,  he  would  sit  them  with  bare  pelts  on  heated  bricks,  and 
when  aged,  sick  and  bedridden  himself,  he  would  command  them  to  stand  by  his  bed, 
and  with  his  cane  terminating  in  a  spear  point,  would  prick  them.  Little  serious  damage 
was  likely  to  be  done,  as  a  slave  was  a  too  valuable  commodity  to  hazard  his  well  being  or 
life. 

Dr.  Tallman  practiced  medicine  and  farming  and  his  fame  was  a  practitioner  was 
extensive,  and  patients  came  from  far  and  near. 

He  was  confined  to  his  bed  about  two  months,  was  attended  by  his  sons  the  two 
doctors,  and  finally  succumbed  to  gout  and  the  infirmities  of  age.  He  died  in  the  same 
room,  on  the  first  floor,  that  his  wife  had  occupied  with  him  throughout  their  married 
life  and  in  which  she  too  had  died. 

After  three  days  his  remains  were  interred,  without  funeral  services  of  any  kind,  on 
his  own  farm,  in  what  was  and  still  is  called  the  Potapeck,  Pumpkin  Point  and  Tallman 
burying-ground.     The  attendance  was  very  great  as  he  was  esteemed  in  the  community. 

It  is  said  that  he  left  a  will  which  was  read  by  its  makers  and  holders.  Dr.  John 
Johnson,  of  Eatontown,  and  Dr.  Samuel  Tenbroeck,  of  Shrewsbury,  on  the  return  of  the 
family  to  the  homestead. 

Further,  upon  the  recollection  of  John  R.  Livingston,  he  gave  to  each  of  his  sons, 
Stephen,  Dr.  Christopher,  John,  Samuel,  James  and  Dr.  Joseph,  the  farms  they  were 
residing  upon,  and  to  the  latter  likewise  his  medical  belongings.  To  his  daughter 
Martha,  about  £ioo,  and  to  his  daughter  Sarah,  between  £ioo  and  £200,  discriminating 
against  the  former  daughter  as  she  was  the  wife  of  a  very  rich  man.  Major  Thomas 
Seabrook. 

In  appearance  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman  was  of  medium  height  and  strongly  built.  He 
had  a  clean  shaven  face  and  wore  his  hair  powdered  white  and  drawn  back  into  a  queue. 
He  was  generally  considered  a  fine  looking  man.  His  wife,  Mary  Tallman,  was  good- 
looking,  though  not  a  handsome  woman.  She  was  ot  medium  size,  large  boned,  heavily 
built  and  possessed  a  very  fair  complexion.  She  was  always  very  tender  and  good  to  her 
family.  She  was  an  eccentric  woman,  with  an  easily  provoked,  high  temper  and  was 
considered  by  her  slaves,  a  witch.  Rosanna  Livingston,  a  household  slave,  seemed  to 
have  come  in  for  a  share  of  her  ill  will,  for  on  one  occasion  when  she  was  setting  the  dinner 
table,  her  mistress  threw  a  handful  of  knives  and  forks  at  her  head,  with  such  precision 
that  Rosanna  looked  as  if  she  were  a  female  St.  Sebastian,  and  the  irate  old  lady  held  her 
to  her  work  notwithstanding  her  suffering.  This  scene  had  a  tragic  ending,  for  the 
family  were  hardly  seated  at  the  dinner  table,  when  Mrs.  Tallman  was  stricken  with 
apoplexy.  She  was  carried  to  her  bedroom,  remained  speechless  and  paralyzed  and  was 
attended  by  her  husband  for  nine  days,  when  she  died. 

The  remains  lay  at  her  residence  for  two  days  and  the  attendance  at  the  funeral  was 
large.  The  customary  eight  pallbearers,  four  bearing  the  remains  one-halt  the  way,  and 
four  the  remaining  portion  of  the  way,  carried  the  corpse,  which  was  interred  in  the 
adjacent  Tallman  plot.  Neither  Dr.  Tallman  nor  his  wife  Mary,  were  apparently 
members  of  any  church,  though  they  occasionally  attended  service  at  Shrewsbury. 

Mary  Tallman,  the  wife  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman,  was  living  as  late  as  1774,  when, 
with  her  husband,  she  joined  in  making  the  conveyance  to  her  son  James,  Apr.  2,  of  that 
year;  and  if  the  assertion  is  correct  that  she  died  before  her  husband,  it  must  have  been 
between  this  date,  Apr.  2,  and  Aug.  24,  1774,  when  her  husband  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman, 


TALLMAN  OF  NEW  JERSEY  19 

died.  That  she  predeceased  her  husband  rests  entirely  upon  the  doubtful  testimony  of 
John  R.  Livingston.  That  she  died  close  to  the  time  of  her  husband's  death  is  likely,  as 
no  tombstone  marks  her  burial  place,  which  is  a  matter  for  comment  and  not  easily 
understood. 

Personally  I  haven't  an  atom  of  faith  in  the  Mary  Morgan  tradition  and  believe  that  Dr. 
Stephen  Tallman  married  but  once  and  that  the  lady  was  Mary  Potter,  of  Rhode  Island. 

Only  three  of  the  children  of  Stephen  Tallman  are  supplied  with  birth  dates,  and  it 
is  doubtful  whether  the  issue  is  chronologically  arranged.

36  JOB  TALLMAN,  supposed  son  of  John  Tallman,  12,  if  the  name  assigned  to

was  made,  in  1707,  and  was  nearly  two  years  of  age  when  his  father  died  in  1709. 

In  the  migration  of  John  Tallman's  (12)  children  to  Burlington  County,  N.  J.,  he

the  house  and  four  at  the  grave.  Like  all  funerals  about  this  period,  his  was  largely 
attended  and  business  in  the  community  for  many  miles  about  suspended. 

Leaving  no  will  his  estate  was  administered  by  James  Tallman  and  Thomas  Sea- 
brook,  with  a  bond  of  £1000,  dated  June  21,  1790.  •     ,    J    ,    • 

The  inventory  of  his  personal  estate  amount  to  £1,500,  and  included  six  negroes. 

At  the  time  administration  was  granted,  the  following  representatives  of  Stephen 
Tallman  renounced,  viz.:  Rachel  Tallman,  Martha  Seabrook,  Polly  Williams,  Patty 
Tallman  and  Mary  Tallman,  and  in  179 1,  the  Commissioners  divided  his  lands  among: 
Sarah  Wardell,  wife  of  John;  Mary  Tallman;  Martha,  wife  of  Thomas  Seabrook;  Joseph 
Tallman;  James  Tallman;  children  of  Samuel  Tallman,  deceased,  and  Rachel  Tallman,

Stephen  Tallman  had  a  natural  daughter  Ann  (Nancy)  Tallman,  who  was  taken 
care  of  by  her  father  until  she  married  Mathias  Wood,*  an  Englishman,  who  came  to 
America  at  the  time  of  the  American  Revolution  and  who  served  in  the  American  Army 
until  the  close  of  the  war.    They  resided  at  Mechanicsville,  N.  J.,  and  were  buried  in  the 

cemetery  of  that  place.  .  1       c       u      -r  n 

From  the  testimony  of  John  R.  Livingston,  it  would  appear  that  Stephen  lallman 
was  a  very  "queer"  man  and  severe  with  his  slaves,  not  infrequently  having  them 
whipped  till  their  backs  were  laid  open  and  the  blood  ran  freely.  He  was  morose  and 
exclusive  It  is  further  said  of  him  that  he  saw  from  his  room  window  a  woman  crossing 
his  orchard,  on  her  way  to  church,  who  plucked  apples  from  his  heavily  laden  trees, 
rather  than  to  lift  those  equally  good,  from  the  ground,  which  angered  him  to  such  a 
degree  that  he  raised  his  gun,  and  with  expert  aim,  cut  a  limb  squarely  off  above  her  head. 
He  was  indicted  by  the  Monmouth  Grand  Jury  for  various  offences,  before  whom 
he  was  accused  as  an  "ill  designing  and  disorderly  person  and  ot  a  wicked  &  malicious 
mind,"  and  for  having,  on  the  4"^  day  of  September,  1784,  killed  and  destroyed  a  mare

At  the  same  session  he  was  accused  of  having,  July  lo,  178 1,  sold  flour,  Indian  corn  and 
oats,  to  certain  persons  unknown,  in  order  to  send  the  same  to  the  enemies  of  this  state

40  DR.  CHRISTOPHER  TALLMAN,  son  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman,  19,  was 
probably  born  in  Shrewsbury,  N.  J.,  and  died  in  the  fall  of  1790. 

1767,  May  I.  Daniel  Wainwright  mortgaged  to  Dr.  Stephen  Talhnan,  both  of 
Shrewsbury,  certain  lands.

1770,  Feb.  5.  Stephen  Aumack  mortgaged  to  Dr.  Christopher  Tallman,  both  of 
Shrewsbury,  certain  lands. 

1770,  May  14.  Joseph  Dennis  and  wife  mortgaged  lands  to  Dr.  Christopher  Tail-

1770,  June  28.  Dr.  Christopher  Tallman  mortgaged  his  lands  at  Strawberry  Neck 
and  Smoky  Pond,  for  £1,368-15-00,  to  Valeriah  Le  Conte  and  Richard  Tole,  of  Mon- 
mouth County,  Elihu  Spencer,  of  Trenton,  and  John  Berrien,  of  Rocky  Hill,  Somerset 
County,  N.  J. 

1771,  Apr.  20.  Christopher  Tallman,  for  £375,  bought  land  at  Eatontown,  from 
Stephen  and  Mary  Wardell,  which  Wardell  received  from  his  father  Eliakim,  in  his  will 
dated  Jan.  16,  1737,  who  received  it  by  deed  of  gift  June  30,  1725,  from  his  father  Joseph, 
who  bought  the  land  Aug.  6,  171 8,  from  Gabriel  Steele. 

Unrecorded  deed  in  the  possession  of  Dr.  John  E.  Stillwell. 

\']l6.  Being  a  Royalist  Dr.  Christopher  Tallman's  lands  were  sold  by  the  Com- 
mittee. 

Dr.  Christopher  Tallman's  Tory  proclivities  apparently  made  him  unpopular  and 
unsafe  in  Shrewsbury,  for  being  sick  and  apprehensive  of  death,  he  made  a  will  dated 
Shrewsbury,  September  19,  1772,  to  which  he  appended  a  codicil  August  16,  1778,  when 
he  speaks  of  himself  as  still  sick,  late  of  Shrewsbury,  but  now  of  the  "narrows  on  Long 
Island."     His  illness  was  apparently  not  vital  for  he  lived  twelve  years  thereafter. 

He  studied  medicine  with  his  father  who  established  him  on  a  farm  at  Tinton  Falls, 
N.  J.,  where  he  practiced  medicine  and  farming.  His  brother  Dr.  Joseph  Tallman  suc- 
ceeded to  the  father's  practice  at  the  homestead  and  the  brothers  became  friendly  rivals 
in  the  same  field.  On  one  occasion  Dr.  Joe  extracted  a  tooth,  which  was  followed  by 
bleeding  to  a  state  of  collapse,  and  in  great  fright  he  sent  two  slaves  ahorse  to  his  brother 
Dr.  Christopher,  who,  from  the  excited  blacks  got  the  tale  and  laconically  replied,  "tell 
the  man  who  pulled  it  to  stop  it."  More  humane  feelings  overcame  him,  however,  and 
he  arrived  with  the  messengers,  successfully  applied  a  remedy  taken  from  Dr.  Joe's  own 
medicine  chest,  put  it  in  his  pocket,  and  despite  Dr.  Joe's  protests,  carried  it  away  with- 
out revealing  its  nature. 

1772,  Sept.  19.  Will  of  Christopher  Tallman,  of  Shrewsbury,  Docter,  sick,  etc.,

1778,  Aug.  16.  Codicil  to  the  will  of  Christopher  Tallman,  of  the  "narrows  on  Long 
Island,"  late  of  Shrewsbury,  Doctor,  sick,  etc.,  mentioned: 

to  Lydia,  the  child  born  to  Mary  Crockson,  £100  more;  to  a  son  of  Mary  Crockson,  now  four  years 
of  age,  £5CX3.  Will  was  proved  Oct.  8, 1790,  when  Joseph  Tallman,  the  only  surviving  executor,  renounced, 
and  James  Tallman  qualified  in  his  stead  with  a  bond  of  £500. 

Mary  Crockson  was  the  housekeeper  of  Dr.  Christopher  Tallman.  He  had  by  her 
a  number  of  natural  children,  among  them  Elias  Tallman,*  and  Lydia  Tallman. 

41  SARAH  TALLMAN,  daughter  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman,  19,  married,  first,  2mo. 
(Feb.)  28,  1757,  Michael  Cook;  second,  Dec.  4,  i759>  David  Allen;  third,  John  Wardell, 
boatman,  and  a  farmer  of  large  means,  residing  at  Atlanticville,  N.  J.,  by  whom  she  had 
no  issue.  John  Wardell  was  a  Justice  in  Shrewsbury,  and  an  associate  judge  in  Mon- 
mouth County.  He  was  a  Tory  and  his  property  was  confiscated  Mch.  29,  1779.  He 
was  a  friend  of  Capt.  Richard  Lippincott  and  testified  for  him  in  the  British  court 
martial,  held  in  New  York,  June,  1782. 

Wardell  was  in  a  state  of  everlasting  indulgence  and  persistent  repentance.  While 
under  the  effects  of  liquor  he  broke  his  leg  and  no  sooner  cured  than  he  repeated  the 
drink  and  the  accident,  and  these  again  once  more.  Three  breaks  were  too  many  for 
him  and  he  succumbed  to  his  habits  and  mishaps,  leaving  his  widow,  who  successfully 
managed  her  farm  till  old  age  and  malignant  disease  of  the  throat,  after  much  suffering, 
ended  her  life.  Her  funeral  services  at  the  house  and  the  grave  were  conducted  by  the 
Rev.  Samuel  Budd,  a  Methodist  minister,  of  Long  Branch,  and  her  remains  were  in- 
terred by  the  side  of  her  husband  in  the  Tallman  burying-ground.  The  date  of  her 
demise  is  not  known,  but  Aug.  9,  1800,  administration  on  her  estate  was  granted  to 
William  Sickles  and  Mathias  Wood. 

1791,  June  21.  John  Wardell,  boatman,  of  Shrewsbury,  conveyed  to  Hannah  But- 
ler, widow,  of  Brooklyn  Ferry,  N.  Y.,  in  consideration  of  love  and  affection  and  £160,  all 
his  interest  in  the  estate  of  Stephen  Tallman,  deceased,  which  he  had  by  virtue  of  his 
marriage  to  Sarah,  daughter  of  Stephen  Tallman,  Sr.,  and  mother  of  the  said  Hannah 
Butler,  etc.,  etc  ,  and  all  his  interest  in  the  estate  of  his  wife's  deceased  brother  John 
Tallman,  as  well  as  his  interest  in  her  deceased  brother,  Stephen  Tallman's,  estate,  as 
well  as  his  wife's  dower  interest  in  the  estate  of  her  late  husband  David  Allen.

42  JOHN  TALLMAN,  son  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman,  19  lived  at  Eatontown,  N.  J., 
where  he  died  in  1790.  He  was  club-footed,  a  bachelor  and  a  farmer.  His  funeral 
services  were  conducted  at  his  own  house  and  grave  by  the  Rev.  John  Woodhull.  He 
was  interred  in  the  Tallman  plot  at  Pumpkin  Point. 

1779.  He  was  residing  in  Shrewsbury. 

1782.  He  was  fined  for  fornication. 

1786,  Feb.  17.  John  Tallman  mortgaged  lands  in  Eatontown,  N.  J.,  to  Jacob 
Corlies  and  Joseph  Parker,  for  £317. 

1790,  Mch.  6.  John  Tallman,  of  Shrewsbury,  N.  J.,  sick,  etc.,  made  his  will;  proved 
June  21,  1790,  in  which  he  appointed  Stephen  Tallman  his  executor,  and  ordered  his 
negro  Tone  to  be  freed  after  four  years;  gave  £110  to  Elias,  the  firstborn  son  of  Mary 
Croxon;  gave  £100  to  Lydia,  the  firstborn  daughter  of  Mary  Croxon;  to  Stephen  Tail-

His  executor,  Stephen  Tallman,  having  died,  James  Tallman  and  Thomas  Sea- 
brook  qualified  as  administrators,  with  bond  of  £1,000,  on  June  21,  1790. 

The  inventory  of  his  personal  estate  amounted  to  £600,  and  included  a  half  a  dozen 
silver  tea  spoons  valued  at  £1-10-0. 

43  SAMUEL  TALLMAN,  son  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman,  19,  was  a  farmer  and 
resided  at  Tinton  Falls,  N.  J.  He  married  Rachel,  daughter  of  David  and  Meribah 
(Herbert)  Curtis,  of  Squan,  N.  J.,  by  license  dated  June  26,  1765.  His  death  occurred 
during  the  winter  of  1788,  as  December  8th,  of  that  year,  administration  was  granted  to 
Rachel  Tallman  and  James  Tallman,  both  of  Shrewsbury,  with  a  bond  of  £1,000,  upon 
his  estate.  Both  his  widow,  Rachel  Tallman,  and  James  Tallman,  the  administrators, 
signed,  as  well  as  Samuel  Tallman,  a  witness.  His  personal  estate,  inventoried  in  1789, 
amounted  to  £370-1-0,  and  a  second  appraisal  taken  the  same  year,  amounted  to 
£560-19-08.  His  funeral  services  were  conducted  by  the  Rev.  John  Woodhull,  and  he 
was  interred  in  the  Tallman  burying-ground. 

He  was  a  man  of  integrity,  agreeable  manners  and  of  domestic  virtues,  but,  like  the 
rest  of  the  Tallmans,  he  could  swear  beyond  the  average  amount. 

He  was  an  industrious  worker  and  kept  his  slaves  always  busy.  He  was  wont  to 
visit  his  father-in-law,  going  on  horse  back  through  the  swamp,  where  at  one  particular 
spot,  climbing  a  tree,  he  could  observe  his  slaves  at  work  and  to  their  surprise  pick  out 
the  laggards  on  his  return.  This  worked  well  until  his  overseer,  one  Andrew  McCard, 
noticing  a  black  speck  in  a  tree  not  far  from  where  the  negroes  were  at  work,  discovered 
its  nature  and  by  careful  scouting  he  cautiously  removed  the  neighing  mare  and  her  foal 
which  had  guided  him  to  the  spot,  and  rode  her  home.  Upon  Tallman's  descent,  minus 
a  horse  which  he  supposed  had  broken  loose,  he  trudged  home  with  his  coat  on  his  arm, 
foot-sore  and  weary.  To  his  wife's  query  as  to  his  condition  he  answered,  "I  got  oflF  my 
horse  in  the  swamp  for  something  and  she  got  away  from  me  and  ran  off."  When  he 
subsequently  knew  the  facts  he  greatly  enjoyed  the  joke  at  his  own  expense. 

Samuel  Tallman,  as  described  by  John  R.  Livingston,  was  a  remarkably  handsome 
man,  of  slender  but  good  figure,  and  a  noticeably  fine  complexion.  He  was  never  robust, 
and  died,  somewhat  suddenly,  with  hasty  consumption.     His  wife,  Rachel  Tallman,  was

a  very  superior,  goodlooking  woman,  with  considerable  business  talent,  as  she  continued

45  JAMES  TALLMAN,  son  of  Dr.  Stephen  Tallman,  19,  died  Apr.  5  [25?],  1827, 
in  the  eighty-third  year  of  his  age,  as  appears  upon  his  tombstone  at  Pumpkin  Point, 
hence  he  was  born  in  the  year  1744-5,  and  could  not  possibly  have  been  the  son  born  to 
Dr.  Stephen  and  Mary  Tallman,  Aug.  n,  1725,  at  Portsmouth  R.  I.  The  natural 
inference  therefore  is  that  the  first  son,  James,  lived  quite  a  number  of  years  perhaps 
fifteen  to  twenty  years,  and  dying,  his  father  called  the  next  son  born  to  him  thereafter,

crepit to  move,  he  substituted  for  it  a  spear,  made  to  hurl  at  his  negroes.  Among  them 
was  Tubs,  Rose  and  Jack,  the  last  of  whom  subsequently  bought  his  freedom.  He  died 
very  aged  and  left  a  son,  who  was  recently  living  in  Long  Branch,  N.  J.  As  opposed  to 
this  tradition  about  Jack,  is  the  will  of  his  master,  wherein  he  is  set  free  two  weeks  after

James  Tallman,  like  the  other  members  of  his  father's  family,  bought  and  sold  real

Supreme  Court  Files,  Trenton,  N.  J. 

James  Tallman  had  a  natural  son  by  Deborah  Parker,  to  whom  he  was  engaged  to 
be  married  when  a  youth  of  seventeen.  Among  his  gifts  to  her  was  a  pair  of  gloves 
bought  for  the  prospective  marriage.  She  died  about  this  time  and  he  retained  the 
gloves  until  his  death,  when  he  requested  that  they  should  be  placed  upon  his  breast 
when  he  was  in  his  coffin,  which  was  done.  The  boy  was  brought  up  by  his  grandfather 
Parker  and  was  a  wild  specimen  and  died  in  early  manhood  in  New  York  City.

3  OLIVER  TALLMAN,  son  of  Jeremiah  Tallman,  i,  was  born  at  Portsmouth, 
R.  I.,  June  15,  1737.  He  resided  at  Long  Branch,  Monmouth  County,  N.  J.,  prior  to 
the  Revolutionary  War,  where  he  owned  a  considerable  estate.  This  he  forfeited  by 
becoming  a  Royalist.  During  the  Battle  of  Monmouth,  he  fought  on  the  British  side, 
while  his  son,  William  fought  under  Washington.  At  the  end  of  the  war  his  estates  were 
confiscated  and  sold,  and  he,  accompanied  with  two  of  his  sons,  Peter  and  Daniel,  with- 
drew to  Canada,  on  the  North  shore  of  Lake  Ontario,  near  St.  Catharines,  where  lands 
were  ceded  to  him  for  his  loyalty  to  the  Crown. 

Apparently  the  confiscated  lands  did  not  always  find  ready  purchasers  for  it  was 
not  until  Mch.  29,  1799,  that  the  plantations  of  Christopher  and  Oliver  Tallman,  at 
Tinton  Falls,  N.  J.,  were  sold. 

In  1771  and  1773,  Oliver  Tallman  was  taxed  in  Shrewsbury,  N.  J. 

His  stay  in  Canada  must  have  been  short  because  he  died  in  Shrewsbury,  in  1788, 
leaving  a  will  written  Nov.  28,  1787;  proved  Jan.  11,  1788,  wherein  he  called  himself  of 
Shrewsbury  and  spelled  his  name  Oliver  Talman,  and  mentioned: 

son  Daniel  Talman;  daughter  Jemima;  son  William  Talman;  daughter  Molly  Talman;  daughter 
Hannah;  brother  Jeames'  land,  and  disposed  of  several  negroes.  He  signed  his  name  to  the  will.  Executor: 
George  Howland.  Joseph  Tallman,  a  witness.  The  executor  renounced  and  William  Tallman  qualified

Dear  Madam: —  t        u  1  l 

Yours  of  1 1""  which  reached  me  here  this  evening  was  rather  a  surprise.  I  would  say  that  you  have 
been  entirely  misinformed  and  the  tone  of  your  letter  is  altogether  unwarranted.  The  Tallman  burying 
ground  at  Port  au  Peck  has  not  been  sold  and  not  one  penny  has  been  paid  to  me  or  to  any  body  else 
except  to  Mr.  Mount  the  undertaker  at  Red  Bank  for  carefully  removing  the  remains  and  reinternng  them 
at  Fairview  Cemetery  near  Middletown,  where  the  stones  have  been  fully  restored.  The  five  (5)  living 
heirs  of  my  father,  together  with  Mr.  S.  T.  Bradford,  the  eldest  son  of  the  Bradford  family  have  rehn- 


42  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

quished  their  rights  in  the  piece  of  ground  but  that  does  not  affect  the  rights  of  anyone  else  that  may  have 

The  facts  are  that  the  hurrying  ground  was  in  a  disgraceful  condition  and  myself  and  brothers  had 
no  money  to  fix  it  up  and  care  for  it.  The  fences  were  broken  down,  cattle  and  horses  roamed  through 
it  at  will,  the  stones  were  overturned  and  that  of  my  mother  broken  in  twenty  pieces.  The  ground  was 
all  overgrown  with  weeds  and  briers  and  young  trees.  In  short  it  was  heartrending  to  visit  it.  At  Fair- 
view  everything  will  be  looked  after  and  cared  for  forever.  Since  the  burial  of  James  Tallman  about  75 
years  ago,  no  one  has  been  buried  there  but  my  own  family's  immediate  predecessors,  viz.,  my  grand- 
father, wife,  sister,  and  children  &  my  father,  wife,  sister  and  children — the  last  being  my  father  in  1882. 
Not  one  of  us  now  lives  in  Monmouth  Co.  and  are  not  likely  to  again.  Not  one  of  us  has  or  ever  had  the 
slightest  desire  to  be  buried  at  Port  au  Peck. 

As  my  grandfather  Stephen  S.  Tallman  was  the  sole  heir  to  James  Tallnian,  a  bachelor,  who  estab- 
lished the  burying  ground,  and  nvy  father  Geo.  D.  Tallman,  Sr.,  was  the  sole  heir  to  s"*  Stephen  and  we  five 
children  were  the  sole  heirs  to  s**  Geo.  D.,  and  as  further,  no  one  but  the  immediate  members  of  our  family 
ever  buried  there  or  took  the  slightest  interest  in  the  plot,  we  considered  we  had  a  right  to  remove  the 
remains  and  place  them  where  they  could  be  properly  cared  for  as  well  as  resign  what  rights  we  had  to  the 
plot,  without  in  any  way  affecting  any  body  elses  rights  if  any  existed. 

Yours 

G.  D.  Tallman 

P.S.  As  long  as  I  lived  in  Shrewsbury  &  had  a  little  means  I  looked  after  the  plot  but  later  after 
losing  everything  I  had  in  the  world  &  moving  away  I  simply  was  unable  to  continue,  hence  the  ruin  of 
the  ground.  I  would  be  glad  if  you  showed  this  letter  to  the  people  who  have  been  talking  so  unkindly 
about  me. 


TAYLOR 
OF 
MONMOUTH  COUNTY* 

Among  those  who  very  early  followed  the  original  Patentees  and  Associates,  in  the 
settlement  of  Middletown,  was  Edward  Taylor,  whose  name  immediately  proclaims  him 
an  Englishman.  His  parentage,  whatever  may  have  been  claimed  to  the  contrary,  is 
yet  unknown,  as  likewise  his  English  home. 

His  descendant,  the  late  Asher  Taylor,  Esq.,  was  a  most  industrious,  conscientious 
and  well-informed  antiquary  and  genealogist,  and  perhaps,  the  pioneer  in  this  field  in 
Monmouth  County.  Boasting,  as  he  did,  that  he  descended  from  the  best  of  Mon- 
mouth stock,  it  is  not  surprising  that  he  rescued  many  interesting  facts  concerning  his 
progenitors.  In  tracing  out  his  immediate  family,  he  claimed  that  Edward  Taylor,  the 
founder  ot  the  American  family,  was  the  son  of  John,  and  the  brother  of  Matthew  Taylor, 
a  New  Jersey  Proprietor.  That  he,  Edward  Taylor,  through  this  ancestor,  John  Taylor, 
was  the  direct  descendant  of  Baron  Taillefer,  a  follower  of  William,  the  Conqueror,  who 
died  on  the  battle-field  of  Hastings,  1066,  and  that  between  the  said  John  Taylor,  his 
supposed  father,  and  the  Baron  Taillefer,  there  were  eight  generadons. 

The  claim  to  this  ancient  pedigree  rests  upon  the  fact  that  Matthew  Taylor,  who 
died  in  New  York,  in  1688,  was  thought  to  be  the  descendant  of  this  family,  and  supposed 
to  be  the  brother  of  Edward  Taylor,  who  settled  in  Middletown.  It  is  not  disputed  that 
Matthew  Taylor  was  of  the  family  above  alluded  to,  but  it  is  impossible  to  find  any 
evidence  that  he  was  in  any  way  related  to  Edward  Taylor,  of  Middletown.  The  worthy 
Asher  Taylor  cites,  in  evidence  of  the  kinship  of  these  parties,  a  will  recorded,  in  New 
York,  that  of  Matthew  Taylor,  dated  Feb.  20,  1687/8.  He  claims  that  after  appropri- 
adng  ten  guineas  to  buy  his  friend  Manning  a  mourning  ring,  he,  Matthew  Taylor,  wills 
the  residue  of  his  property  to  his  brother,  Edward,  residing  in  London,  with  reversion  to 
Edward's  son  George.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  will  states,  that,  after  appropriating 
twenty  shillings  for  Capt.  Manning  to  buy  a  mourning  ring,  and  the  sum  of  £20  for  his 
two  executors,  he  leaves  the  residue  of  his  property  to  his  loving  brother  Samuel  Taylor, 
residing  in  London,  with  reversion  to  Samuel's  son  George. 

•Many  years  ago,  during  the  last  decade  of  his  life,  Asher  Taylor,  No.  185  of  this  pedigree,  allowed  me  to  copy  his  notes  on 
the  Taylor  family.  These  constitute  a  large  portion  of  this  Taylor  genealogy,  subjected  to  corrections,  additions  and  rearrange- 
ment. Mr.  Hiram  E.  Deats  likewise  published  this  Asher  Taylor  genealogy,  with  memoranda  of  the  Taylor  intermarriages,  in  his 
magazine,  The  Jerseyman,  Vol.  VIII,  No.  /,  and  succeeding  numbers.

44  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

How  this  error  could  have  occurred  it  is  idle  to  speculate,  and  while  it  destroys  the 
claim  to  an  English  pedigree,  it  still  leaves  the  American  family  a  record  rich  in  fullness, 
historic  interest,  and  one  of  which  they  may  well  be  proud. 

If  any  further  evidence  is  wanting  that  it  was  a  mistake  to  assign  Edward  Taylor 
as  the  heir  of  Matthew,  and  that  it  was  following  Matthew's  decease,  and  in  the  year 
1692  that  he  came  to  America,  it  may  be  found,  in  the  old  Town  Book,  of  Middletown, 
which  records  his,  (Edward's),  cattle-mark,  in  1684,  and  in  the  Book  of  Land  Patents, 
at  Perth  Amboy,  in  which  are  recorded  grants,  Jan,  13,  1692,  of  two  tracts  of  land  of  one 
hundred  acres,  in  Middletown;  another  tract  of  one  hundred  acres,  Dec.  28,  1685; 
another  tract  of  one  hundred  and  sixty  acres,  July  27,  1686,  in  Middletown;  and  in  1687, 
of  still  another  tract  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres. 

It  also  follows  that  most  of  his  children  were  born  here,  and  not  in  the  mother 
country.  Of  the  life  of  Edward  Taylor,  the  First,  Httle  if  anything  is  known.  He  died 
in  the  year  1710,  after  having  accumulated  a  large  estate,  principally  in  lands,  which 
were  divided  among  his  children.  They  were  started  in  life  prosperously,  and  each  and 
all  improved  his  condition,  so  that  the  family  at  once  became  prominent  and  opulent. 
The  few  writings  of  the  first  comer,  that  are  in  existence,  prove  that  he  was  intelligent 
and  educated,  and  that  he  belonged  to  the  highest  class  that  migrated  to  our  shores  in 
the  early  days  of  its  colonization.

Among  the  items,  mentioned  in  his  will,  is  a  silver  cup,  bequeathed  to  his  son,

In  1729,  he  erected,  at  Garret's  Hill,  a  dwelling  of  then  uncommon  size,  called  the 
Mansion  House,  and  the  same  season  built  the  Old  Taylor  House,  now  standing  on  the 
highway,  in  the  village  of  Middletown,  just  East  of  Christ  Church,  and  a  similar,  but 
larger  one,  long  known  as  the  "Old  Tavern,"  in  the  front  of  the  residence  and  by  the  side 
of  the  lane  extending  from  the  highway  up  to  the  house  of  Charles  I.  Hendrickson,  Esq., 
deceased,  in  Middletown. 

From  1727  to  1739/40,  he  kept  a  tavern  and  was  a  merchant,  probably  conducting 
his  business  in  the  last  above  mentioned  building. 

1744,  Apr.  5.  George  Taylor  kept  a  tavern  and  sold  liquor  to  James  Bowne. 

George  Taylor  signed  his  name  Taylor,  Talor  and  Talar;  the  last,  perhaps,  being 
the  most  common. 

It  is  not  unlikely  that  he  remained  in  the  "Old  Tavern"  until  his  death  m  1758;  he 
was  certainly  there  as  late  as  1746.

26  EDWARD  TAYLOR,  son  of  George  Taylor,  4,  was  born  x^ug.  20,  1712,  and 
died,  Jan.  18,  1783,  aged  71  years  and  5  months.  He  married  Mary,  daughter  of  Samuel

and  20  days.     Both  are  buried  in  the  Lippit  Burying-ground,  Middletown,  N.  J. 

Edward  Taylor,  commonly  called  "Edward  Taylor,  Esq.,"  was  an  active,  intelli- 
gent man,  possessed  of  a  liberal  education. 

In  1768,  1772  and  1774,  he  was  a  Member  of  the  Assembly. 

At  the  commencement  of  the  Revolution,  he  was  among  those  active  in  raising 
supplies  to  aid  the  Boston  people  in  their  effort  to  avoid  taxation  without  representation. 
This  activity  gained  him  the  animosity  of  his  Tory  neighbors,  who  tried  to  have  him 
impeached  and  his  property  confiscated.  For  prudential  reasons,  he  then  became  less 
active,  but  was  arrested  several  times  and  had  great  difficulty  in  keeping  out  of  trouble.

first  from  one  party,  then  the  other.  He  succeeded  in  navigating  through  the  storm 
and  was  eventually  able  to  transmit  his  large  estate  to  his  descendants. 

Among  other  pieces  of  real  estate  Edward  Taylor  owned  was  1/320  of  the  Province 
of  East  New  Jersey,  which  was  a  Proprietary  right  bought  by  him,  in  1749,  of  John 
Lippit,  who  succeeded  to  it,  as  heir  of  his  mother,  Sarah,  daughter  of  John  Throck- 
morton, who  was  entitled  to  ^  of  her  father's  i/io  of  1/48  of  the  said  province;  and  from 
Thomas  Stillwell,  Jr.,  son  of  Alice,  daughter  of  John  Throckmorton  and  sister  of  Sarah 
Lippit,  his  like  share,  heired  from  his  mother,  which  gave  Edward  Taylor  ^  of  i/io  of 
1/48,  or  1/320  part  of  the  whole  province. 

Edward  Taylor  resided  in  the  house  erected  by  his  father,  in  1729,  which  still 
stands  on  the  highway  of  Middletown,  East  of  Christ  Church. 

In  1758,  upon  the  death  of  his  father,  he  succeeded  him  in  the  "Old  Tavern,"  where 
he  likewise  kept  store  and  tavern.  He  also  built  and  ran  the  mill,  since  known  as 
"Arrowsmith's  mill,"  and  his  business  interests  became  varied  and  extensive. 

1779,  Oct.  20.  Will  of  Edward  Taylor  mentioned:  son,  George  Taylor;  son,  John

27  JOHN  TAYLOR,  son  of  George  Taylor,  4,  was  born  in  1715  or  1716,  and  died, 
at  Perth  Amboy,  N.  J.,  Nov.  23,  1798.  He  married  Phebe,  sister  and  heiress  of  Gen. 
Nathaniel  Heard,  of  New  Jersey.  She  died,  July  10,  1791,  aged  about  eighty-three 
years,  and  was  buried  in  the  Lippit  Burying-ground. 

John  Taylor  was  commonly  known  as  "Squire  Taylor,"  to  distinguish  him  from 
other  members  of  the  family. 

He  owned  a  farm  of  some  two  hundred  acres  which  he  sold  before  the  Revolutionary 
War,  reserving  about  a  dozen  acres,  upon  which,  in  1752,  he  erected  a  large,  handsome 
house,  at  the  head  of  the  Main  Street,  in  Middletown,  at  the  commencement  of  the  Deep 
Cut,  which  was  denominated  by  his  neighbors  as  "Taylor's  Folly." 

In  1782,  this  house  was  bought  by  George  Crawford,  Esq.,  from  whom  it  passed  to 
the  Beekmans,  and  recently,  December,  1891,  was  destroyed  by  fire.  It  seemingly 
would  have  stood  for  centuries.  Its  entire  frame  was  of  oak,  and  it  showed  no  signs  of 
wear.  General  Clinton  was  a  frequent  visitor  there,  during  the  Revolution,  and  Dr. 
Bainbridge,  father  of  Commodore  Bainbridge,  there  wooed  and  won  his  future  wife. 

John  Taylor  was  a  Sheriff,  of  Monmouth  County,  for  many  years,  as  also  one  of  the 
Judges  of  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas,  in  Monmouth  County,  in  1761,  and  doubtless  at 
other  times. 

Upon  the  breaking  out  of  the  Revolution,  like  many  office  holders,  he  became  a 
persistent  Loyalist,  and  was  appointed,  by  Lord  Howe,  on  his  arrival  in  this  country,  to 
offer  terms  of  reconciliation,  "His  Majesty's  Lord  High  Commissioner,  of  New  Jersey," 
in  consequence  of  which,  he  was  hunted  by  the  Whigs.  His  property,  not  confiscated, 
but  applied  to  public  use,  was  paid  for  in  Continental  money,  which  depreciated,  until

practically  of  no  value,  and  left  him  poor,  but  for  this  he  was  recompensed  by  the 
British  Government. 

Capt.  Edward  Taylor,  who  was  thirty  years  of  age,  when  Squire  Taylor  died,  and 
knew  all  about  him,  told  Asher  Taylor,  Esq.,  that  his  claim,  for  losses,  amounted  to 
£12,000,  far  in  excess  of  the  actual  figures,  but  nevertheless  allowed  by  the  British 
government,  which  no  doubt  influenced  Burke  to  say  that  he  was  a  man  of  large  estates 
and  had  made  great  sacrifices  in  the  Revolutionary  War  for  the  Royal  cause,  and  which, 
Asher  Taylor,  Esq.,  commenting  upon,  with  tremendous  Whig  fervor,  says,  "was  greatly 
exaggerated  and  pure  gammon." 

Warrant  to  Asher  Holmes,  Esq%  for  the  apprehension  of  Jno.  Taylor,  Esq',  of

where  he  continued  to  reside  until  his  death.  This  property  continued,  by  regular 
descent,  in  the  occupancy  of  his  children,  until  1854,  when  it  passed  to  his  grand-daugh- 
ter, Mary  H.  Taylor,  wife  of  Joseph  D.  Taylor,  who  built  a  fine  mansion  near  the  old 
residence.  Both  houses  are  yet,  1907,  standing.  The  older,  occupied  by  Mrs.  Taylor's 
farmer,  contains  some  fine  specimens  of  hand  carved  wood,  the  mantel,  in  the  tap  room 
perhaps  being  the  most  noteworthy.  This  farm  was  once  part  of  the  estate  of  Squire 
John  Taylor,  27,  who  built  the  old  house  on  it.  He  sold  it  to  Barnardus  Rider,  of  Long 
Island,  reserving  on  the  Southwest  corner,  a  building  site  of  fourteen  acres. 

In  1 771,  Rider  conveyed  the  lands  to  Edward  Taylor,  26,  whose  son.  Col.  George 
Taylor,  resided  on  it  in  1773.  As  conveyed  to  Edward  Taylor,  the  farm  was  laid  at  two 
hundred  and  ten  acres. 

John  Taylor,  79,  was  out  several  times  in  the  provincial  forces,  for  local  duty,  in  the 
early  part  of  the  Revolutionary  War. 

In  1777,  in  conjunction  with  Daniel  Hendrickson,  he  enlisted  a  soldier,  as  a  sub- 
stitute, in  the  person  of  Henry  Johnson,  father  of  Lambert  and  Henry  Johnson,  who

old  house,  at  the  foot  of  Ruckman's  Hill,  in  Middletown,  the  site  of  the  Osborne  House. 

This  estimable  man  was  the  pioneer  genealogist,  I  believe,  of  Monmouth  County. 
His  incursions  into  family  history  provoked  amusement,  wonderment  and  ridicule,  but 
he  was  steadfast  in  his  pursuit,  with  the  result  of  accumulating  much  data.  Nothing 
pleased  him  more  than  to  meet  a  kindred  spirit  and  discuss  his  hobby,  especially  in  his 
declining  years,  saddened  by  the  loss  of  members  of  his  family.  His  life,  though  a 
happy  one  was  a  tempestuous  one.  He  started,  when  less  than  thirteen  years  of  age, 
in  the  store  of  his  uncle,  Edward  Taylor,  in  New  York  City,  with  whom  he  became  a 
partner,  in  1830,  and  so  continued  until  1840.  Henceforth  he  became  prominent  in  fire 
insurance  matters,  becoming  the  president  of  several  such  organizations,  which  became 
insolvent,  by  disastrous  fires.  At  the  time  of  his  death,  Asher  Taylor  was  Vice-President 
of  the  Exchange  Fire  Insurance  Company,  of  New  York  City.  He  resided  at  various 
times  in  New  York  City,  Niagara  County,  N.  Y.,  Red  Bank,  N.  J.,  and  finally,  in  Jersey 
City. 

He  was  a  man  of  sterling  honor,  an  ardent  supporter  of  the  Government,  during  the 
late  Rebellion,  and  excessively  severe  in  his  arraignment  of  all  members  of  the  Con- 
federacy. This  feeling  of  hostility  also  shows  itself,  in  his  writings,  when  reviewing  the 
lives  of  members  of  his  family,  who,  during  the  Revolutionary  War,  espoused  the  Royal 
cause.     He  was  genial,  upright  and  downright. 

He  married,  in  New  York  City,  June  23,  1832,  Sarah,  daughter  of  Capt.  Alexander 
Coffin,  Jr.,  born  Sept.  29,  1799,  and  died  Mch.  31,  1869,  at  12.30  A.M.,  and  is  interred

THROCKMORTON 

OF 

MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  NEW  JERSEY 

The  Throckmortons  trace  their  ancestry  into  hazy  periods  of  English  history  where 
they  very  appropriately  start  with  one  of  the  name  oi  Adam  Throckmorton  mentioned  in 
the  Worcestershire  Pipe  Roll,  A.D.  1176.  The  name  itself  is  a  compilation  of  At  Rock 
Moor  Town,  a  town  on  a  rock,  which  existed  in  the  vale  of  Evesham,  Fladbury,  Wor- 
cestershire, England,  and  which  apparently  was  the  home  and  main  seat  of  the  family  for 
some  generations.  From  this  common  ancestor  probably  descended  a  numerous  pro- 
gency  divided  into  many  family  groups,  including  the  important  branch  seated  at 
Coughton,  in  Warwickshire,  all  of  which  bore  arms  blazoned  alike  or  very  slightly 
differenced: 

Arms:     Gules,  on  a  chevron  argent,  three  bars  gemels  sable. 

Crest:    On  a  wreath  an  elephant's  head.     Some  of  the  later  branches  of  family  replace  the  old  crest 

with  "On  a  wreath,  a  falcon  volante,  proper,  armed  with  Bells  Jessant,  Aurum." 
Motto:  Virtus  Sola  Nobilitas;  or,  Moribus  Antiquis. 

Many  of  the  Throckmortons  rose  to  eminence  and  had  their  records  preserved  by 
contemporary  British  annalists,  but  it  has  been  left  to  the  profound  American  geneal- 
ogists. Col.  C.  Wickliffe  Throckmorton,  of  New  York  City,  and  Mrs.  George  D.  Sither- 
wood,  of  Bloomington,  111.,  to  assemble  all  known  English  and  American  data  in  book 
form,  books  recently  and  independently  issued,  which  give  the  last  word  in  a  magnificent 
family  history. 

The  founder  of  the  American  family  was  John  Throckmorton,  a  cadet  of  one  of  the 
English  branches  of  the  family,  but  the  specific  claim  that  he  was  the  son  of  Bassing- 
bourne  Throckmorton,  an  alderman  and  grocer  of  Norwich,  I  feel  is  insufficiently  sub- 
stantiated. The  complete  absence  of  the  unique  baptismal  name  of  Bassingbourne,  and 
the  names  of  Bassingbourne  Throckmorton's  kindred,  immediate,  collateral  and  remote, 
among  the  children  of  John  Throckmorton,  of  Rhode  Island  and  New  Jersey,  is  too 
powerful  a  rebuttal  of  this  claim  to  be  ignored  if  it  be  not  absolutely  eliminative.  If  I 
were  to  hazard  an  opinion  I  should  incline  to  the  belief  that  John  Throckmorton  sprang 
from  the  line  of  Job  Throckmorton,  of  Haseley,  Warwickshire,  an  outstanding  Puritan 
of  his  time,  who  died  1628. 

75 


76  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

His  advent  is  chronicled  by  the  mild  and  kindly  Gov.  Winthrop,  as  follows: 

AT  ^'^Kf^-  5'  '631-  The  Ship  Lyon,  Mr.  WiUiam  Peirce,  Master,  arrived  at  Nantasket.  She  brought 
Mr.  Wilhams,  a  godly  minister,  with  his  wife,  Mr.  Throckmorton,  Perkins,  Ong,  and  others  with  their 
wives  and  children,  about  twenty  passengers  and  about  two  hundred  tons  of  goods.  She  set  sail  from 
Bristol,  Dec.  i,  1630.  She  had  a  very  tempestuous  passage,  yet  through  God's  mercy  all  her  people  came 
safe,  except  Way  his  son,  who  fell  from  the  spit  sail  yard  in  a  tempest  and  could  not  be  recovered  though 
he  kept  in  sight  for  a  quarter  of  an  hour;  her  goods  also  came  in  good  condition."  ' 

May  18,  following  his  arrival,  he  was  admitted  a  Freeman  in  the  town  of  Salem, 
Mass.,  and,  though  he  had  moved,  his  hog  house  was  mentioned  as  a  landmark  in  the 
town  records  as  late  as  April  15,  1639.  Further  his  name  was  perpetuated  here  in  an 
application  to  a  cove  on  Salem  Harbor  about  two  miles  west  of  Peaches  Point. 

He  became  a  Baptist  and  followed  the  footsteps  of  Roger  Williams,  his  fellow 
passenger  in  the  Lyon,  into  Rhode  Island,  in  the  summer  of  1635  or  1636. 

1637,  June.  Later  settlers,  at  Providence,  R.  I.,  had  lands  laid  out  for  them  "as 
fully  as  the  former  portions  appropriated  to  our  neighbor  Throckmorton,  neighbor 
Greene,  neighbor  Harris,  Joshua  Verin,  neighbor  Arnold  and  neighbor  Williams,"  etc. 

1638,  Oct.  8.  Roger  Williams  conveyed  to  John  Throckmorton,  as  one  of  twelve 
individuals,  an  equal  interest,  with  himself,  in  his  Indian  purchase,  covering  the  site  of 
Providence,  and  on  April  22,  1639,  sold  him  an  interest  in  Chibachuwest,  now  called 
Prudence  Island.  The  removal  of  John  Throckmorton  from  Salem  was  not  a  compul- 
sory act,  as  was  Mr.  Williams',  but  his  strong  notion  of  personal  rights  and  religious  free- 
dom would  soon  have  caused  his  expulsion.  For  his  disaffection  and  estrangement  from 
the  Church,  and  his  adoption  of  Baptist  views,  he  was  excommunicated  by  the  Rev. 
Hugh  Peters,  who,  writing  July  i,  1639,  to  the  Church,  at  Dorchester,  said  that  John 
Throckmorton,  his  wife,  and  others  have  had  "the  greatest  censure  passed  upon  them 
in  this  our  church,"  as  they  "wholly  refused  to  hear  the  church,  denying  it  and  all  the 
churches  in  the  Bay  to  be  the  true  churches." 

1640,  July  27.  He,  with  thirty-eight  others,  signed  an  agreement  for  a  form  of 
government  at  Rhode  Island. 

1643.  He  made  application  to  the  Dutch  to  settle  within  their  jurisdiction  which 
was  granted: 

Whereas  Mr.  Throckmorton,  with  his  associates,  solicits  to  settle  with  thirty-five  families  within  the 
limits  of  the  jurisdiction  of  their  High  Mightinesses,  to  reside  there  in  peace  and  enjoy  the  same  privileges 
as  our  other  subjects,  and  be  favored  with  the  free  exercise  of  their  religion;  having  seen  the  petition  of  the 
aforesaid  Throckmorton,  and  consulted  with  the  interests  of  the  Company,  as  this  request  can  by  no 
means  be  injurious  to  the  country,  more  so  as  the  English  are  to  settle  at  a  distance  of  three  miles  from  us, 
so  it  is  granted.  Mr.  Throckmorton,  with  thirty-five  English  families,  are  permitted  to  settle  within  three 
miles  of  Amsterdam.  Albany  Records  from  1638  to  1642. 

Upon  the  6th  of  July,  1643,  the  following  "land  brief"  was  granted  to  Jan  Throckmorton: 
We,  William  Kieft,  director  general,  and  the  council,  in  behalf  of  their  high  mighty  lords,  the  States 
General  of  the  United  Netherlands,  his  highness  the  Prince  of  Orange,  and  the  noble  lords,  the  managers 
of  the  General  Incorporated  West  India  Company  in  New  Netherlands  residing,  by  these  presents,  do 
publish  and  declare  that  we,  on  this  day  the  date  underwritten,  have  given  and  granted  unto  J  an  Throck- 
morton a  piece  of  land,  (being  a  portion  of  Vredeland,)  containing  as  follows,  along  the  East  river  of  New 
Netherlands,  extending  from  the  point  half  a  mile,  which  piece  of  land  aforesaid  is  surrounded  on  one  side 
by  a  little  river,  and  on  the  other  side  by  a  great  kill,  which  river  and  kill  on  high  water  running,  meet  each 
other,  surround  the  said  land,  as  will  more  cleariy  appear  by  a  map  of  the  same  which  has  been  made  and 
marked  oflt  by  the  surveyor,  with  the  express  conditions  and  terms  that  the  said  Jan  Throckmorton,  or  they 


THROCKMORTON  OF  MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  N.  J.  77 

who  by  virtue  of  these  presents  shall  succeed  to  his  action,  the  noble  lords,  the  managers  aforesaid,  shall 
acknowledge  as  their  lords  and  patroons,  under  the  sovereignty  of  the  high  and  mighty  lords,  the  States 
General,  and  unto  their  director  and  council  here,  shall  in  all  thmgs  be  confirmed  as  all  good  citizens  are  in 
duty  bound;  provided  also  that  the  said  Jan  Throckmorton  and  his  company  (associates)  shall  further- 
more be  subject  to  all  such  burdens  and  imposts,  as  already  have  been  enacted  by  the  noble  lords,  and 
hereafter  may  yet  be  enacted.  It  is  furthermore  made  an  express  condition  that  the  aforesaid  Jan  Throck- 
morton, according  to  promise,  shall  settle  on  the  aforesaid  lands  as  many  families  as  may  offer  in  the  same 
manner,  constituting  over  the  said  Throckmorton  and  his  company,  in  our  stead,  in  the  real  and  actual 
possession  of  the  aforesaid  piece  of  land,  lying  on  the  East  river  aforesaid,  giving  them  by  these  presents 
the  full  and  irrevocable  might,  authority,  and  special  permission  the  aforesaid  parcel  of  land  to  enter,  cul- 
tivate, inhabit  and  occupy,  in  like  manner  as  he  may  lawfully  do  with  other  his  patrimonial  lands  and 
effects,  without  our,  the  grantors  in  quality  aforesaid,  thereunto  any  longer  having,  reserving  or  saving  any 
part,  action,  or  control  whatever,  but  to  the  behoof  as  aforesaid,  from  all  assisting  from  this  time  forth  and 
forever,  promising  moreover  this  transport  firmly,  invariably,  and  irrevocably  to  maintain,  fulfil,  and  exe- 
cute, and  to  do  all  that  in  equity  we  are  bound  to  do.  Done  in  Fort  Amsterdam  in  New  Netherlands,  this 
6th  day  of  July,  1643.

By  order  of  the  noble  lords,  the  directors  and  council  of  the  New  Netherlands.     Cornells  Tienhoven, 
Secretary.  Albany  Records^  G.G.,  g8.    Idem.,  173-4. 

This  grant,  subsequently  called  Throckmorton's  Neck  and  Throg's  Neck,  embraced 
the  eastern  part  of  the  present  town.  It  was  bounded  on  the  north  by  Eastchester 
neck,  on  the  east  by  Eastchester  bay  and  Long  Island  sound,  on  the  south  by  the  East 
river,  and  on  the  west  by  the  Westchester  creek.* 

Throckmorton's  settlement  had  a  short  existence  and  was  obliterated  by  the  Indian 
uprising  in  the  fall  of  1643,  when  it  was  set  upon  by  the  savages  and  every  vestige  of  it 
destroyed.  Eighteen  persons  were  killed  and  those  who  were  so  fortunate  as  to  escape 
death,  made  their  way  to  the  Fort  at  New  Amsterdam  and  "some  that  escaped  from  the 
Indian  attack  went  back  to  Rhode  Island,"  says  Winthrop.  Among  those  who  returned 
was  John  Throckmorton. 

In  1647,  John  Throckmorton  was  living  in  Providence,  and  was  asked  to  pay  fifteen 
pounds,  in  wampum,  for  a  house. 

1647,  Feb.  27.  He  was  granted  the  house  and  land  of  Edward  Cope,  provided  he 
satisfied  the  Deputies  of  Providence,  the  amount  of  a  certain  lien  against  said  property. 

1650,  Sept.  2.  He  was  taxed  £1-3-4,  at  Providence,  R.  I. 

In  1652,  he  was  Town  Moderator,  at  Providence,  R.  I. 

*Upon  the  extremity  of  the  point  is  now,  in  course  of  erection  (1848)  by  the  United  States  government,  a  very  strong  fortifica- 
tion, called  Fort  Schuyler.  It  is  calculated,  when  completed,  to  defend  this  entrance  and  protect  the  city  of  New  York  from  foreign 
invasions,  in  connection  with  the  formidable  works  of  a  similar  character  erected  at  the  Narrows. 

Distumell's  Gazetteer,  of  New  York. 

Upon  the  29th  of  April,  1652,  John  Throckmorton  petitioned  the  director  general  for  leave  to  transport  Throckmorton's 
neck.     In  October  following  permission  was  granted,  whereupon  he  conveyed  the  same  to  Augustine  Hermans. 

Albany  Records,  Court  o]  Assize,  Vol.  2,  p.  59. 

On  the  5th  of  December,  1656,  Governor  Stuyvesant  ordered  that  Throckmorton's  and  Cornhill's  neck  (Classon's  Point), 
might  come  into  their  jurisdiction  if  they  please.  Albany  Records,  Court  of  Assize,  Vol.  i,  p.  60. 

Augustine  Hermans,  soon  after  his  purchase,  conveyed  fifty  morgen  of  land  situated  on  Throckmorton's  neck,  to  Thomas 
Hunt.     In  1665,  the  town  of  Westchester  asserted  "that  she  had  always  enjoyed  Throckmorton's  neck." 

Albany  Records,  Court  of  Assize,  Vol.  2,  p.  60. 

On  the  7th  of  January,  1667,  Richard  NichoUs  granted  to  Roger  Townsend  "a  certain  parcel  of  land being  on  ye  back 

side  of  Throckmorton's  neck " 

In  1669,  thirty  acres  of  land  on  Throckmorton's  neck  were  granted  to  Mrs.  Micah  Spicer. 

Upon  the  1 2th  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, 

At  a  court  of  assize  held  November  5th,  1669,  Mrs.  Micah  Spicer  sued  for  thirty  acres  of  land  on  Throckmorton's  neck. 

Albany  Records,  Court  of  Assize,  p.  22$. 

In  1688,  William  Barnes  and  Martha  his  wife,  conveyed  lands  on  Throckmorton's  neck,  situate  near  those  of  Robert  Huestis 
to  Thomas  Bedient.    Albany  Records,  Lib.  A,  p.  250.    Also  Bolton's  History  Of  Westchester  County,  Vol.  2,  pp.  145,  149. 


78  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

1654,  June  26.  He  sold  his  interest  in  Prudence  Island,  R.  I.,  to  Richard  Parker,  of 
Boston. 

In  1655,  he  was  on  the  Freeman's  List,  at  Providence,  R.  L 

1659,  Apr.  24,  He  sold  sixty  acres  to  William  Carpenter. 

1659,  June  20.  He  entered  three  ankers  of  strong  waters. 

1664.  He  became  interested  in  the  development  of  East  Jersey,  and  shortly  there- 
after became  one  of  the  Monmouth  Patentees. 

In  1664,  '65,  '66,  '67,  '68,  '70,  '71,  '72,  '73  and  '75,  he  was  a  Deputy  in  Rhode  Island. 

1666,  May  31.  He  took  the  oath  of  allegiance  to  Charles  II,  at  Providence. 

1672,  June  14.  John  Throckmorton,  of  Rhode  Island,  conveyed  to  his  son  John 
Throckmorton,  land  in  Middletown.  Town  Book  of  Middletown,  N.  J. 

1672,  July  18.  He  wrote  a  letter  to  Roger  Williams  upbraiding  him  for  a  letter  to 
George  Fox,  in  which  Williams  proposed  a  joint  discussion  touching  Quakerism.  He 
addressed  two  other  sharp  letters  to  him. 

1675,  June  15.  He,  still  of  Rhode  Island,  sold  one  hundred  and  forty  acres  at , 

to  Daniel  Abbott. 

1677.  He  was  Town  Treasurer;  also  in  the  same  year  a  member  of  the  Town  Com- 
mittee. 

In  1679,  he  was  taxed  7s.  6d. 

In  1687,  his  ratable  estate  was  two  house  lots  and  four  shares  of  meadow. 

1687.  "Estate  of  deceased  John  Throckmorton"  taxed  3s. 

John  Throckmorton  was  gentlemanly  born,  well  educated  and  possessed  of  wealth. 
He  became  a  trader  or  merchant  in  his  new  home,  and  likewise  was  the  owner  of  vessels 
doubtless  used  in  his  commercial  enterprises,  which  carried  him  to  Virginia,  up  the  Dela- 
ware River,  and  to  Manhattan.  The  ships  were  probably  operated  by  others,  as  he  was 
never,  to  my  knowledge,  spoken  of  as  Captain  Throckmorton.  His  trips  in  them,  how- 
ever, were  the  means  of  his  acquaintance  with  the  desirable  lands  in  Westchester  County, 
New  York,  and  the  Monmouth  Tract  in  East  New  Jersey,  into  whose  colonization  he 
entered.  By  deduction  he  was  born  about  1600,  and  arrived  in  this  country  when  close 
to  thirty  years  of  age.  He  died  an  octogenarian,  while  visiting  his  sons  John  and  Job 
Throckmorton,  at  Middletown,  N.  J.,  between  Mch.  17  and  Apr.  25,  1683-4,  and  was 
interred  in  a  plot  of  land,  set  aside  by  and  mentioned  in  the  will  of  his  son  John  Throck- 
morton, which  later  became  known  as  the  Lippit  Burying  ground,  and  then  the  Taylor 
Burying  ground,  and  now  is  incorporated  in  the  Morford  estate  on  the  main  highway  of 
the  village  of  Middletown,  N.  J. 

John  Throckmorton's  wife  was  Rebecca ,  as  appears  from  the  Rhode  Island 

County  Records,  Vol.  i,  p.  26,  and  Middlesex  Court  Files,  contributed  by  the  most  pro- 
found and  generous  student  of  the  Throckmorton  family,  Capt.  G.  Andrews  Moriarty, 
whose  descent  is  through  the  emigrant's  daughter  Patience,  wife  of  Deputy  Governor 
John  Coggeshall.  This  Rebecca  was  probably  the  wife  who  accompanied  him  from 
England,  and  is  alluded  to  by  Winthrop,  and  again  in  one  of  Roger  Williams'  letters. 

Edward  Covill,  gent.,  of  Bradwell,  in  Essex,  made  his  will  in  1678;  proved  Feb.  9, 
1679-80,  wherein  he  left  a  legacy  of  £6,  to  his  kinsman  John  Throckmorton,  of  Midle- 
Towne,  in  New  England.  There  is  no  evidence  to  determine  whether  this  gitt  is  to  the 
emigrant  John  Throckmorton,  or  to  his  son  John  Throckmorton,  Jr.  Both  were  living 
in  1678  and  there  was  a  Middletown  in  Rhode  Island,  as  well  as  one  in  New  Jersey,  and 
the  term  New  England,  was  so  loosely  applied  in  those  days  that  it  could  easily  cover 
both  places.     If  I  were  inclined  to  speculate  I  should  tend  to  the  belief  that  the  reference 


THROCKMORTON  OF  MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  N.  J.  79 

was  to  the  emigrant.  Should  it  apply  to  his  son  it  might  unravel  the  surname  of  his 
mother  Rebecca,  wife  of  the  emigrant;  and  it  has  been  suggested  that  the  name  Covell  is 
a  misreading  of  Cor«^/ which  would  account  for  the  intimate  association  of  the  Throck- 
morten  and  Cornell  families.

2  FREEGIFT  THROCKMORTON,  son  of  John  Throckmorton,  i,  was  ap- 
parently the  eldest  son.     He  died  relatively  young  and  unmarried. 

1667,  Sept.  I.  Capt.  Thomas  Salter,  of  Jamaica,  commanded  a  privateer  which 
captured  a  Spanish  vessel  laden  with  Campeachy  wood.  He  made  William  Smith  its 
master  with  directions  to  sail  the  prize  to  Jamaica,  instead  of  which  Smith  sailed  the 
vessel  to  New  York.  Thereupon  Samuel  Mosely,  acting  for  Salter,  employed  John  Rider 
to  sue  Smith  and  his  associates  in  the  Court  of  Admiralty. 

Smith,  styling  himself,  Commander  of  the  good  ship  William,  had  in  the  Bay  of 
Campeachy,  apparently  arrogated  to  himself  ownership  and  set  up  Articles  of  Agreement 
Sept.  I,  1667,  with  Freegift  Frogmorton,  Thomas  Barnes,  Symon  Jones,  Samuel  Smith, 
Thomas  Davis,  John  Haytor  and  Abraham  Keelings,  by  which  it  was  agreed  that  each 
man  was  to  have  his  proper  share  of  the  vessel  and  a  proportionate  share  of  the  Cam- 
peachy wood  then  on  board,  with  the  Captain  having  two  shares;  that  no  one  was  to 
sell  his  interest  except  to  one  of  the  others;  that  if  any  one  deserted  the  ship  he  forfeited 
his  share  and  that  all  prizes  were  to  be  equally  divided  except  that  the  Captain  was  to 
have  two  shares.  Throckmorton's  and  Keeling's  participation  in  the  venture  apparently 
arose  from  provisioning  the  ship  after  it  was  taken  over  by  William  Smith.  No  decision 
is  recorded.  New  York  Wills,  Vol.  I,  p.  joj. 

1669,  Nov.  6.  John  Throckmorton,  Jr.,  of  Middletown,  in  East  Jersey,  who,  with 
his  father  was  the  lawful  heir  and  next  of  kin  of  his  late  deceased  brother  Freegift  Throck- 
morton, who  died  intestate,  gave  a  power  of  attorney  to  his  father,  Mr.  John  Throck- 
morton, of  Providence,  Rhode  Island,  in  New  England,  to  sue  for  sums  due  the  estate  of 
his  late  brother  Freegift  Throckmorton,  from  Richard  Berris  [?],  of  Watertown,  or 
Judah  Bidedes,  in  his  daughter's  possession.  Witness:  Jonathan  Hullmes,  son  to

3  PATIENCE  THROCKMORTON,  daughter  of  John  Throckmorton,  i,  was 
born  1640;  married  December,  1655,  John  Coggeshall,  the  Second,  of  Rhode  Island,  and 
died  Sept.  7,  1676.  Her  husband  was  born  1618  (?)  and  died  Oct.  i,  1708.  He  was  a 
son  of  John  Coggeshall,  Sr.;  was  an  eminent  person  in  the  early  history  of  Rhode  Island, 
and  resided  at  Newport.  He  was  wealthy  and  left  a  will  dividing  his  property  between 
three  sets  of  children,  by  various  wives,  of  which  the  following  are  the  offspring  of  his

4  JOHN  THROCKMORTON,  son  of  John  Throckmorton,  i,  was  probably  born 
in  this  country,  or  if  not,  was  an  infant  when  he  reached  here.  He  dwelt,  successively 
in  Salem,  Mass.,  Providence,  R.  I.,  Throg's  Neck,  N.  Y.,  and  Middletown,  N.  J.  After 
the  massacre  at  Throg's  Neck  in  1643,  he  returned  to  Providence,  but  joined  in  founding 
the  settlement  of  Monmouth  County,  whither  he  removed  and  abided  till  his  decease  in 
1690.  His  earliest  record  is  that  which  connects  him  with  Providence,  R.  I.  where  in 
June,  1668,  he  engaged  allegiance.  It  was  shortly  after  this  that  he  moved  to  Middle- 
town,  where,  in  December,  1667  (if  it  be  not  his  father  that  is  meant),  he  had  assigned 
to  him  town  lots.  Shortly  after  his  arrival  in  Middletown  Dec.  12,  1670,  he  was  married 
or  as  the  ancient  record  expresses  it,  "was  coupled  together,"  by  Edward  Smith,  Con- 
stable, to  Alice,  daughter  of  Richard  and  Penelope  Stout,  of  Middletown. 

If  he  was  not  already  the  owner  of  lands  he  was  speedily  put  in  the  possession  ot 
such  by  his  father,  who,  by  deed  of  Mch.  3,  1672,  conveyed  one  of  his  two  shares  of  land 
acquired  as  a  Patentee,  to  his  son  John,  while  the  other  he  conveyed  to  James  Ashton, 
the  husband  of  his  daughter  Deliverance  Throckmorton.  From  the  fact  that  Job,  a 
younger  brother,  drew  town  lots  with  the  father  in  1667,  it  may  be  inferred  that  John 
Throckmorton,  4,  had  not  yet  withdrawn  from  the  Providence  Plantations,  and  that  his 
interests  were  only  such  as  his  father  primarily  secured,  and  which  were  later  conveyed 
to  him.  However,  he  soon  added,  by  grants  and  purchases,  to  the  lands  conveyed  him 
by  his  father  and  died  seized  of  a  large  realty. 

1685,  July  20.  For  £375,  Pennsylvania  currency,  he  bought  of  Robert  Turner,  one 
of  the  twelve  Proprietors,  of  East  Jersey,  1/48  undivided  part  of  the  Province  of  East 
Jersey,  it  being  }4  of  said  Turner's  K  of  Thomas  Rudyard's  undivided  }i  of  the  Province 
conveyed  by  Rudyard  to  Turner  in  1682. 

1685,  Dec.  4.  John  Throckmorton  conveyed  to  James  Bowne,  Job  Throckmorton, 
Joseph  Throckmorton,  James  Ashton,  Joseph  Grover,  Lidia  Bowne,  and  Edward  Smith,

Holmes,  each,  1/20  of  his  1/48,  of  East  Jersey.  In  consideration  of  the  forgoing  pur- 
chase and  claim,  the  Proprietors  on  June  25,  1688,  granted  and  released  to  the  said  John 
Throckmorton  four  hundred  and  eighty  acres  at  Crosswicks,  in  Monmouth  County, 
"beginning  at  a  Walnut  tree  standing  on  the  South  side  of  the  Burlington  path." 

1688,  Mch.  28.  John  Throgmorton  sold  to  James  Bowne  1/20  of  his  1/24.  Later,

John  Throckmorton  was  a  man  of  eminence.  He  served  as  a  representative  in  the 
Assembly  1675  to  1688;  was  the  Town's  representative  to  meet  the  Governor  in  1677; 
was  long  a  Judge  in  the  County  courts,  and  was  one  of  the  Committee,  who,  with  the 
sheriff,  was  appointed  to  build  the  first  Monmouth  County  jail  in  1684. 

His  lands  amounted  to  several  thousand  acres  and  his  purchases  are  too  numerous 
to  mention  in  their  entirety. 

He  died  after  an  active  and  useful  life,  in  the  Summer  of  1690,  leaving  a  will  recorded 
in  New  York  and  Trenton,  N.  J.,  which  mentioned  the  following  persons: 

his  wife  Alice,  who  received  his  dwelling  and  orchard  at  Garret's  Hill,  in  Middletown,  and  one 
hundred  acres  adjoining,  and  twenty  acres  of  meadow;  his  son  Joseph  and  daughter  Rebecca,  who  received 
the  balance  of  his  uplands  and  meadow,  lying  within  ten  miles  of  his  residence,  at  Garret's  Hill,  and  to 
them  likewise,  upon  nis  wife's  demise,  the  bequest  made  to  her.  The  rest  of  his  lands  and  proprietorship 
he  willed,  equally,  to  his  four  other  children,  who  are  likewise  to  have  one-half  of  the  estate  'that  doth  by 
right  belong  to  me  by  reason  of  my  brother  Joseph's  will."  Finally,  he  reserved  for  burial  purposes,  a 
one-quarter  acre  lot  'where  my  father  is  buried  m  Middletown."  The  will  was  written  July  17,  1690; 
proved  Aug.  22,  1690.     Witnesses:  Richard  Hartshorne  and  Job  Throckmorton. 

Alice  Stout,  the  widow  of  John  Throckmorton,  married,  second,  Robert  Skelton,  by 
license  dated  Oct.  30,  161 1,  by  whom  she  had: 

Susanna  Skelton  who  married  Barnes  Johnson,  and  had:  Skelton  Johnson  and  Alice 
Johnson,  who  married  John  Debow,  who  died  1749-50,  leaving  a  son  John  Debow. 

Alice  Stout  married,  third,  Mr.  Jones. 

1704,  Apr.  13.  Letters  of  administration  were  granted  to  Alice  Jones,  mother  of 
Joseph  Throckmorton,  lately  deceased,  intestate,  and  again,  May  15,  1704,  an  inventory 
of  the  estate  of  Robert  Skelton  was  filed  in  New  York,  which  was  of  large  size  and  which 
was  attested  by  Alice  Jones,  his  relict  and  administratrix. 

In  1692,  Robert  Skelton  was  Foreman  of  the  Petit  Jury  in  Monmouth  County,  and 
April,  1696-7,  both  he  and  his  wife  were  living  in  or  about  Middletown. 

1696-7,  March.  Robert  Skelton,  of  New  York,  Taylor,  and  Alice  his  wife,  conveyed 
property  to  John  Stillwell,  of  Staten  Island.     Richmond  County,  N.  Y.,  Deeds,  Lib.  D. 


8a  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

In  1700-1703,  Robert  Skelton  was  a  Vestryman  of  Trinity  Church,  New  York  City. 

In  1717,  an  Alee  Skelton  was  a  witness  at  the  marriage  of  a  kins-woman,  Patience 
Lippet  to  John  Wooley,  of  Shrewsbury.  She  was,  perhaps,  Alice  Stout,  widow  of  Robert 
Skelton,  or  if  not,  she  must  have  been  her  daughter.  It  is  certain  that  Alice  (Stout) 
Throckmorton  and  Robert  Skelton  had  one  child,  viz.:  Susanna,  for,  in  1750,  it  is  set 
forth  in  a  deed,  recorded  at  Freehold,  that  Susannah  Skelton,  wife  of  Barnes  Johnson, 
in  1726,  was  a  "sister  of  the  half  blood"  of  Joseph  Throckmorton,  her  brother,  and  that 
he,  said  Barnes  Johnson,  and  wife  Susanna  Skelton  had  a  son  Skelton  Johnson.* 

The  name  Skelton  appears  in  Bucks  County,  Pa.,  where  Robert  Skelton,  in  1748, 
was  not  infrequently  alluded  to  in  property  transactions. 

Who  Alice  Stout's  third  husband,  Mr.  Jones,  was,  I  have  not  discovered.

5  JOB  THROCKMORTON,  son  of  John  Throckmorton,  i,  was  born  in  the  year 
1650,  (Sept.  30),  probably  in  the  State  of  Rhode  Island,  and  was  likely  the  youngest  of 
the  children.  In  1667  he  came  to  Middletown,  and  was  allotted  lands  in  the  village  and 
outlying  country. 

1667,  Dec.  30.  Job  Throckmorton  drew,  in  the  first  division  of  lands  in  Middletown, 
lot  No.  22,  and  on  Dec.  31,  1667,  he  drew  lot  No.  36. 

In  1668,  he  recorded  his  cattle-mark. 

In  1670,  he  owned  a  large  tract  of  ground,  in  Middletown,  to  which  he  added  a  grant 
from  the  Proprietors,  Nov.  18,  1676,  which  he  subsequently  exchanged  for  land  at  Colt's 
Neck,  Jan.  7  [20],  1700,  owned  by  Nathaniel  Leonard,  who  was  joined  in  the  deed  by  his 
wife,  Susannah  Leonard.  Each  family  thereupon  took  permanent  residence  upon  their 
newly  acquired  domain,  and  the  Leonards  gave  to  their  land  the  name  of  Leonardsville. 
These  sites  have  remained  in  the  respective  families  and  have  been  their  homesteads  for 
over  two  hundred  years.  In  1700,  when  this  transfer  took  place,  Job  Throckmorton  was 
residing  at  Shrewsbury. 

•1726,  Oct.  8.  Rebecca  Stillwell,  of  Staten  Island,  widow,  and  John  Coward,  of  Freehold,  Send  Greeting:  It  is  set  forth  that 
the  Proprietors  of  East  Jersey,  did  convey  to  Joseph  Throckmorton,  now  deceased,  son  of  John  Throckmorton,  deceased,  one  hundred 
and  thirty-seven  acres  of  land,  at  the  head  of  Millstone  Brook  Creek,  Freehold  Township,  and  that  the  said  Joseph  Throckmorton 
died  without  issue,  and  the  land  descended  to  his  several  sisters,  as  coheirs.  John  Coward  was  the  son  and  heir  of  one  sister.  Patience 
Lake,  deceased,  and  quit  claimed  to  Susanna,  wife  of  Barnes  Johnson,  of  Middletown,  "sister  of  the  half  blood  to  the  above  named 
Joseph  Throckmorton,  deceased,"  etc.  These  lands  had  been  also  patented  to  John  Reid,  Esq.,  late  of  Freehold,  who  received  them, 
by  patent,  Aug.  8,  lyoi,  and  who  sold  them  with  warranty,  Mch.  9,  1705,  to  Richard  Watson. 

In  1750,  Col.  John  Reid,  son  of  the  late  John  Reid,  bought  out  the  rights  of  the  heirs  of  Joseph  Throckmorton,  for  which  he 
paid  £137,  and  William  Watson,  the  successor  of  Richard  Watson,  paid  to  each,  the  sum  of  5  shillings,  as  appears  from  the  following: 

1750,  May  7.  Skelton  Johnson,  son  and  heir  to  Susanna  Johnson,  deceased;  John  Lippit,  son  and  heir  to  Sarah  Lippit, 
deceased,  and  Thomas  Stillwell,  Jr.,  son  and  heir  to  Alice  Stillwell,  deceased,  all  of  Middletown,  convey  lands  to  William  Watson 
and  Col.  John  Reid,  of  Freehold,  patented  to  Joseph  Throckmorton,  deceased,  July  24,  1693,  who  died  without  issue,  and  whose 
lands  passed  to  his  five  sisters  as  coheirs,  viz.:  Rebecca,  wife  of  John  StiUwell;  Sarah,  wife  of  Moses  Lippit;  Alice,  wife  of  Thomas

84  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

6  DELIVERANCE  THROCKMORTON,  daughter  of  John  Throckmorton,  i, 
married  at  Providence,  R.  I.,  James  Ashton,  Jr.  He  was  doubtless  the  son  of  James 
Ashton,  who  was  a  Commissioner  in  1652,  '58,  '59  and  '63,  and  a  Deputy  in  1665,  in 
Rhode  Island. 

In  1667,  James  Ashton,  Jr.,  located  upon  the  Monmouth  Patent,  in  the  vicinity  of 
Freehold.  He  was  apparently  a  divine,  for  he  is  spoken  of  in  old  documents  as  the  Rev. 
James  Ashton,  yet  it  is  likely  that  he  was  not  ordained.  Be  that  as  it  may,  he  was  the 
first  who  ministered  to  the  spiritual  wants  of  the  infant  settlements  in  Monmouth  Coun- 
ty, which  were  of  the  Baptist  persuasion.  He  was  held  in  great  esteem  and  filled  numer- 
ous responsible  positions.  See  Ashton  Family.  His  children,  so  far  as  is  now  known  to 
me,  are: 

34  James  Ashton,  of  Freehold;  of  age  in  or  before  1693;  died  probably  1731. 

35  John  Ashton,  of  Cream  Ridge;  died  1744. 

26  Mary  Ashton,  a  spinster;  died  1739;  her  estate  was  administered  by  Jeremiah 
Stillwell. 

37  Alice  Ashton  born  1671;  married  Obadiah  Holmes;  died  Apr.  27  17 16  aged 

45  years. 

38  Deliverance  Ashton;  the  first  wife  of  Jonathan  Holmes. 

39  Rebecca  Ashton  married  David,  son  of  Richard  and  Penelope  Stout. 

40  Joseph  Ashton 

7  JOSEPH  THROCKMORTON,  son  of  John  Throckmorton,  i,  was  an  early 
property  holder  in  Middletown.  He  was  a  trader  and  mariner  and  the  owner  of  two 
vessels,  perhaps  more.  He  never  married,  so  far  as  is  known,  or  if  so,  outlived  his 
marriage  and  issue,  if  any. 

His  will,  recorded  in  New  York,  Lib.  Ill,  p.  183,  declares  that  he  is  a  mariner, 
"being  about  to  go  to  Sea,"  and  that  he  devises  his  property  to  his  namesake  Joseph,  the 
heir  male  of  his  brother  John  Throckmorton,  yeoman,  of  Middletown,  East  Jersey, 
whom  he  constitutes  executor  of  his  will  and  trustee  of  the  bequest  to  his  nephew  Joseph. 
The  will  was  written  Dec.  2,  1689,  at  Burlington,  West  Jersey. 

Joseph  Throckmorton,  Mariner,  bound  for  the  West  Indies,  made  a  nuncupative 
will,  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.  Alice  and  John  Throckmorton  gave  a  power  of  attorney  to 
Richard  Hartshorne  to  settle  the  affairs  of  "Joseph  Throckmorton  dec-*."  His  vessels 
were  lying  off  Burlington,  in  Delaware  River. 

Trenton,  N.  J.,  fFills,  Lib.  10  or  E.,  p.  257. 

1690,  Sept.  2.  Allice  Throckmorton  gave  a  power  of  attorney  to  Richard  Harts- 
horne. She  signed  by  her  mark.  Recited  that  Joseph  Throckmorton  had  ketches, 
"Hannah"  and  "Sarah,"  at  anchor  off  Delaware. 

John  Throckmorton,  4,  died  prior  to  his  brother  Joseph,  7,  leaving  his  [John's]  wife 
Alice,  his  executrix;  whereupon  as  such,  she  applied  for  letters  of  administration  upon 
the  estate  of  Joseph  Throckmorton,  which  were  granted,  in  New  York,  Oct.  13,  1690. 
In  the  probate  proceedings  she  is  spoken  of  as  "Mistress  Ails"  and  "Mistress  Alte 
Throckmorton." 

8    THROCKMORTON,  daughter  of  John  Throckmorton,  i. 

On  the  30""  of  Oct.,  1667,  John  Throckmorton  wrote  a  letter  to  the  Assembly,  of 
Rhode  Island,  concerning  the  estate  of  his  daughter  Taylor,  which  was  referred  to  the 


THROCKMORTON  OF  MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  N.  J.  85 

Town  Council.     She  was  possibly  then  recently  deceased.     No  other  information  has 
been  obtained  concerning  her  that  I  know  of. 

9  There  were  probably  other  children  who  were  murdered  by  the  Indians  in  their 
youth,  while  living  at  Throg's  Neck,  in  1643.  Mr.  Winthrop  wrote  in  his  diary  that  the 
Indians  killed  "such  of  Mr.  Throckmorton's  and  Mr.  Cornhill's  famiUes  as  were  at 
home." 

Extermination  of  the  whites  was  an  easy  matter,  for  Winthrop  further  says,  of  these 
settlers,  that  "these  people  had  cast  off  ordinances  and  churches,  and  now  at  last,  their 
own  people,  and  for  larger  accommodations,  had  subjected  themselves  to  the  Dutch 
and  dwelt  scatteringly,  near  a  mile  asunder." 

19  REBECCA  THROCKMORTON,  daughter  of  John  Throckmorton,  4,  became 
the  second  wife  of  John  Stillwell,  of  Staten  Island. 

John  Stillwell,  the  husband  of  Rebecca  Throckmorton,  4,  was  sheriff,  of  Staten 
Island,  in  1693;  Justice  in  1702,  and  a  Member  of  Assembly  17 10,  to  the  date  of  his 
demise.  His  wife  was  living  in  1724,  when  he  died.  The  property  she  brought  him  by 
marriage,  he  bequeathed  to  his  sons — to  John,  the  estate  at  Garrat's  Hill,  and  to  Joseph, 
the  lands  in  Nutswamp;  both  situated  in  Middletown,  N.  J.

177  John  Throckmorton  [  ?] 

113  COL.  JOHN  THROCKMORTON,  son  of  Joseph  Throckmorton,  60,  was 
born  Mch.  4,  1752;  baptised  June  14,  1752,  and  died  Jan.  21,  1836.  He  married  Mar- 
garet White  born  July  19,  1760;  died  Apr.  30,  1829,  m  Toronto.  Both  were  buried  at 
St.  James'  Cathedral.  He  espoused  the  Royal  side  during  the  Revolution,  and  subse- 
quently moved  to  North  Norwich,  Ontario,  where  he  died  and  where  his  estate  is  still 
occupied  by  his  descendants. 

Tradition  says  that  when  he  left  Monmouth  County  he  went  to  Prince  Edward's 
Island,  where  a  tract  of  land  had  been  granted  him;  later,  he  sojourned  in  New  Jersey  a 
while.  He  travelled  in  France,  where  he  was  taught  "the  sword  exercise."  Margaret 
White,  the  wife  of  Col.  John  Throckmorton,  was  reputed  the  daughter  of  a  sea  captain 
and  was  one  who  by  frequent  trips  with  her  father,  had  become  an  expert  sailor  herself. 
Once  while  on  a  voyage,  when  the  captain  and  the  mates  became  intoxicated,  she 
promptly  had  them  locked  in  their  cabins,  and,  taking  the  helm,  herself,  sailed  the  ship 
through  many  dangers  into  port.     Her  portrait  gives  her  a  fine,  strong  face. 

1776.  John  Throckmorton,  of  Freehold,  was  assessed  for  thirty-nine  acres  and  three 
houses — value  £14;  and  it  was  probably  he  who  had  his  lands  confiscated  in  1778. 

1777-  John  Throckmorton,  of  Monmouth  County,  Lieutenant,  in  the  New  Jersey 
Royal  Volunteers,  was  taken  prisoner,  on  Staten  Island,  in  this  year,  and  sent  to  Tren- 
ton. He  likewise  was  Lieutenant  in  the  King's  Rangers  and  retired  to  the  Island  of  St. 
John,  November,  1782. 

1777,  May  24.  "Joseph  Throckmorton  Esq''  who  some  time  since  presented  a 
Memorial  to  the  Governor  and  Council  on  Behalf  ot  his  son,  John  Throckmorton,  then 
&  still  in  Confinement  in  the  City  of  Philadelphia,  appeared  before  the  Board  &  prayed 
that  he  might  be  indulged  so  far  as  to  have  his  s**  son  removed  into  this  State  &  confined 
at  his  own  House  at  Colts  neck  in  Monmouth  County,  offering  to  enter  into  Bond  for 
£2,000  or  3,000.,  if  required,  for  his  future  Good  Behavior,  &  for  his  Appearance  before 
this  Board  when  &  wherever  required. 

The  Council  taking  the  affair  into  Consideration,  were  of  Opinion  that  they  could 
not  form  any  Conclusion  respecting  a  Prisoner  without  having  him  first  before  them,  and 
therefore  as  they  cannot  redeem  Time  sufficient  for  the  Purpose  at  present,  they  deferred 
the  Determination  to  some  future  Time."

before  Justice  Joseph  Vanderveer  against  Barnes  H.  Smock  and  Doctor  Anderson.  The 
former  was  served  by  a  summons  by  William  A.  Wykoff,  Constable,  and  at  the  request 
of  Archie  Smock,  for  his  father,  the  case  was  adjoined,  but  judgment  later  was  taken  by 
the  plaintiffs  and  execution  granted  and  given  to  Richard  Sutphen,  Constable,  to  collect. 
No  property  of  Lloyd's  was  found  and  attempted  collection  was  then  made  against  Dr. 
Anderson,  who  put  up  bonds,  (Smock  having  removed),  and  appealed  to  the  Supreme 
Court.     The  Throckmortons  filed  a  bill  of  details  (extracted)  as  follows:

Dr.  (James)  Anderson  counterclaimed  and  among  the  reasons  given  to  set  aside  the 
judgment  of  Joseph  Vanderveer,  Esq'',  Justice  of  the  Peace,  Monmouth  County,  is  that 
the  plaintiff  is  mentioned  as  Docktar  Anderson  and  his  Christian  name  is  omitted.

TILTON 

OF 

NEW  JERSEY* 

The  first  Tiltons  in  America  were  established  at  Lynn,  Massachusetts,  as  early  as 
1 640-1.  Two  of  them  were  contemporary,  William  and  John,  and  a  great  divergence  in 
their  years  leads  one  to  suspect  that  the  two  may  have  stood  in  the  relation  of  older  and 
much  younger  brother,  unless  we  give  to  John  a  father  of  like  name,  which  we  are  dis- 
posed to  do  because  of  an  allusion  in  the  Court  records  to  the  wife  of  a  John  Til  ton,  Jr., 
whose  name  appears  in  the  presentments  of  1642,  for  non-belief  in  and  contempt  of  the 
ordinance  of  baptism.  If  we  accept  the  existence  of  a  John  Tilton,  Sr.,  he  would  be  on  a 
parity  in  age  with  William  Tilton,  and  there  would  then  be  no  need  to  strain  the  ages 
of  William  and  John,  Jr.,  in  order  to  bring  them  into  the  same  generation,  even  though 
there  is  no  proof  of  the  supposed  John  Tilton,  Sr.'s,  having  come  to  this  country. 

That  this  supposititious  John  Tilton,  Sr.,  is  of  the  closest  kin  to  William  Tilton,  of 
Lynn,  and,  supposedly  his  brother,  may  be  justly  inferred  because  of  the  identity  of 
names  in  the  descendants  of  the  two  men,  viz.:  Peter,  Samuel,  Daniel,  Abraham,  as 
children  of  William  Tilton,  of  Lynn,  which  names  likewise  appear  among  the  six  sons  of 
John  Tilton,  the  grandson  of  the  supposititious  John  Tilton,  Sr.,  of  Lynn. 

John  Tilton's  history  and  movements  more  intimately  concern  us,  as  he  was  the 
ancestor  of  the  Tiltons  of  New  Jersey. 

How  long  John  Tilton  may  have  sojourned  in  Lynn  prior  to  1640, 1  know  not,  but  it 
was  shortly  after  this  date  that,  actuated  in  all  likelihood  by  the  same  feelings  of  religious 
unrest  as  possessed  Lady  Deborah  Moody,  he  migrated,  probably  with  her  and  her 
followers,  to  New  Amsterdam,  to  secure  a  place  for  settlement  among  the  Dutch.     He 

'This  genealogy  of  the  Tilton  Family  was  compiled  by  me  many  years  ago  and  revised  for  me  by  my  friend,  the  late  Rev. 
William  White  Hance,  just  prior  to  his  death.  Mr.  Hance  was  well  qualified  to  render  me  this  service.  His  investigation  into  the 
history  of  the  Tiltons  was  a  profound  and  continuous  labor  of  many  years  and  a  matter  of  pride  and  love.  In  November,  1927,  Mr. 
Francis  Theodore  Tilton  commenced  the  pubUcation  in  serial  pamphlet  form  (still  in  issuance)  his  History  Of  The  Tilton  Family  in 
America,  a  work  so  exhaustive  in  character  that  I  have  hesitated  to  proceed  with  printing  my  own  manuscript.  However,  upon 
reflection,  I  feel  that  its  omission  in  Volume  V,  would  be  an  abridgement  of  the  Historial  and  Genealogical  Miscellany's  value  to 
many  whose  family  histories  have  been  published  in  the  preceding  volumes  and  who  are  connected  by  various  ties  with  the  Tiltons. 
I  have  studiously  avoided  all  comparison  of  Mr.  Tilton's  work  with  my  own  to  avoid  the  possibility  of  even  unconscious  plagiarism. 
I  do  not  know  that  any  differences  will  occur  in  the  facts  we  present,  but  should  such  a  situation  arise  I  would  advise  a  prompt 
acceptance  of  Mr.  Tilton's  statements  in  preference  to  my  own  as  I  recognize  him  as  the  legitimate  historian  of  the  Tilton  Family. 
Mr.  Tilton  incorporates  much  information  concerning  the  family  alliances  and  the  epochs  in  which  they  live;  which,  with  the  personal 
history  he  supplies  his  characters,  makes  them  live  again.  Every  one  may  be  proud  of  his  Tilton  blood  and  Mr.  Francis  Theodore 
Tilton's  work  will  grow  invaluable  as  time  goes  on. 


132  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

apparently  married  while  residing  at  Lynn,  and  had  born  to  him  there  two  children  at 
least,  John,  in  1640,  and  Peter,  in  1642.  In  1644,  Sarah,  his  daughter,  was  born,  per- 
haps in  New  Amsterdam  or  Gravesend,  though  the  latter  had  not  yet  become  a  place  of 
organized  settlement,  or  was  at  least  too  much  exposed  to  the  hardships  of  early  life  to 
harbor  any  except  the  most  hardy  settlers. 

John  Tilton  was  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Gravesend,  of  which  place  he  was  the 
Town  Clerk  from  1643  to  1662,  and  again  from  1668  to  1681. 

1646,  Feb.  20.  In  the  first  division  of  distribution  of  farms  called  Plantations,  and  of 
lots  called  Garden  Spots,  John  Tilton  was  assigned  one  of  each. 

1652.  As  agent  for  Mr.  William  Bell  he  bought  a  farm  in  Gravesend  of  Robert 

Scott.  T-k        L  e  r> 

1655.  Jacobus  Van  Curler  and  other  Dutch  settlers  of  Gravesend  wrote  to  Director 
Stuyvesant  stating  their  "daily  fears  that  the  strange  reports  from  Hempstead  and 
Newtown  that  the  Savages  intended  killing  the  Dutch  among  the  English;  that  the 
Savages  had  demanded  of  the  English  of  Gravesend  that  they  should  separate  from  the 
Dutch  so  that  they  might  not  be  in  any  danger;  that  Tilton  and  the  Magistrates  of 
Gravesend  have  advised  the  Dutch  that  it  were  best  they  moved  away,  but  if  the  Dutch 
would  not  move  the  English  would  do  the  best  they  could  for  them,  which  they  think 
is  poor  consolation  if  the  Savages  should  come;  that  if  they  leave  Long  Island  is  no 
longer  inhabited  by  the  Dutch;  that  the  English  continually  communicate  with  each 
other;  that  yesterday  Tilton  and  the  Sheriff  of  Newtown  came;  today  they  went  away 
again."  And  they  conclude  by  asking  for  a  moderate  force,  else  an  armed  vessel  to 
carry  them,  their  families  and  possessions  away. 

1656,  May  14.  Letter  of  John  Tilton,  Clerk,  to  Director  Stuyvesant  in  answer  to  a 
complaint  of  Anthony  Johnson  in  respect  to  intrusion  on  his,  Johnson's,  lands.  In  this 
letter,  written  for  his  fellow  townsmen  of  Gravesend,  John  Tilton  alluded  to  Anthony 
Johnson  as  a  Mohammedan,  and  a  troublesome  person,  ....  in  troublesome  time  when 
the  whole  country  seems  to  hang  upon  uncertainty,  and  all  our  lives  in  jeopardy  as  by 
the  great  supplies  Indians  have  of  arms  and  ammunition.  It  would  appear  that  John- 
son charged  the  Gravesenders  with  encroaching  upon  the  boundary  lines  of  his  farm, 
while  they  countercharged  that  he  invaded  the  bounds  of  Gravesend,  and  accused  him 
of  being  a  liar,  and  called  him  likewise  Anthony  the  zibi,  which  means  the  skunk. 

When  the  first  evangelists  of  the  Quaker  persuasion  came  to  New  Netherlands,  the 
Governor,  Peter  Stuyvesant,  it  appears,  received  them  kindly,  but  soon  after  showed  a 
spirit  of  bitter  hostility  to  them  as  well  as  to  the  Lutherans  of  New  Amsterdam  and  the 
Independents  of  Middleberg.  And  Feb.  i,  1656,  an  ordinance  was  enacted  against  those 
who  held  conventicles  here  and  there  within  the  Province,  and  against  unqualified  per- 
sons in  such  meetings  who  assumed  the  ministerial  office  without  being  called  or  ap- 
pointed thereto  by  ecclesiastical  or  civil  authority,  and  penalties  were  framed  for  any 
infraction  of  this  ordinance.  So  far  as  regards  its  application  to  the  Lutherans  of  New 
Amsterdam,  this  intolerant  law  was  vetoed,  June  14,  1656,  by  the  authorities  in  Holland, 
and  while  the  Director  was  therefore  restrained  from  interfering  with  them,  the  English 
of  Gravesend  and  other  towns  were  not  protected  in  Hke  manner,  and  were  little  likely  to 
find  favor  with  the  home  authorities,  and  consequently  might  safely  be  proceeded  against.^ 
Hence,  in  1658,  on  the  8th  of  January,  an  order  was  issued  to  furnish  the  Sheriff  of 
Gravesend  with  a  copy  of  John  Tilton's  answer  to  the  charge  of  entertaining  a  Quakeress; 
and  two  days  later  (Jan.  10)  he  was  sentenced  for  harboring  some  of  "the  abominable 
sect  of  Quakers,"  and  fined  £12.  and  costs. 


TILTON  OF  NEW  JERSEY 

On  the  morning  of  Jan.  lo,  1661,  the  under  schout  of  New  Amsterdam  and  Nicholas 
Bayard  came  from  Jamaica  to  Gravesend  having  heard  there  was  a  Quaker  meeting  at 
the  latter  place.  Arriving  at  the  house  of  Samuel  Spicer,  they  learned  that  George 
Wilson,  a  Quaker  preacher,  had  just  held  a  meeting  there,  but  being  informed  of  the 
approach  of  the  officers  had  made  his  escape  by  so  precipitous  a  flight  as  to  leave  his  cloak 
behind.  This  the  officers  seized  and  also  arrested  Samuel  Spicer,  who,  with  Mary  the 
wife  of  John  Tilton,  had  attended  a  Quaker  meeting,  at  Jamaica,  the  day  previous •' and 
on  the  20th  of  January,  John  Tilton,  "for  being  at  the  Quaker  meeting  January  9'  and 
at  a  Quaker  meeting  at  Gravesend  January  loth,"  was  sentenced  to  be  banished 'from 
the  Province,  but,  through  the  influence  of  Lady  Moody,  he  was  pardoned. 

This  experience,  however,  does  not  seem  to  have  at  all  intimidated  this  courageous 
couple,  and,  September  19,  1662,  the  Director  and  Council  notified  the  magistrates  of 
all  the  English  towns  on  Long  Island  to  assist  Resolved  Waldron  in  arresting  "all  persons 
who  attend  unlawful  or  prohibited  meetings."  At  the  same  time  complaint  was  made 
against  John  Tilton,  for  attending  meetings  of  Quakers  and  harboring  persons  of  that 
persuasion,  and  against  Mary,  his  wife,  for  "attending  meetings  of  that  abominable  sect 
called  Quakers."  They  were  both  arrested  and  imprisoned,  and,  October  6th,  were 
sentenced  to  banishment  from  the  Province.  The  sentence,  however,  was  not  put  into 
execution  until  the  following  May,  influence  having  apparently  been  brought  to  bear  on 
the  Director  to  postpone  the  carrying  of  it  out  until  the  rigors  of  winter  should  be  passed. 
But,  May  7,  1663,  the  Fiscal  was  ordered  "to  take  an  inventory  of  the  estate  of  John 
Tilton,  sentenced  to  banishment,"  and,  May  17th,  a  warrant  was  issued  to  the  Sheriff, 
commanding  him  to  remove  John  and  Mary  Tilton  out  of  the  Province.  In  this  emerg- 
ency kind  friends  (Anthony  Wright  and  others),  at  Oyster  Bay,  offered  the  banished 
couple  a  home,  which  they  gladly  accepted,  and  that  place,  outside  the  Dutch  jurisdic- 
tion, became  their  residence  until  the  hurling  of  the  despotic  Stuyvesant  from  power,  in 
1664,  made  it  possible  for  them  to  return  home. 

Upon  the  banishment  of  John  Tilton,  the  office  of  Town  Clerk  became  vacant,  and 
William  Goulding  was  elected  as  his  successor.  John  Tilton  and  his  wife  removed  back 
from  Oyster  Bay  to  Gravesend  in  1667,  and,  in  1668,  he  was  again  made  Town  Clerk, 
and  annually  re-elected  to  that  office  till  168 1,  when  John  Emans  succeeded  him. 

1664,  Jan.  I.  Among  those  to  whom  land  was  deeded  by  the  Indians  at  Shrewsbury, 
N.  J.,  we  find  the  names  of  John  Tilton,  Sr.,  and  Jr. 

1665.  Samuel  Spicer  and  John  Tilton,  having  become  owners  of  Barron  Island,  sold 
it  to  Elbert  Elberts  (Stothoff). 

1665,  Nov.  I.  George  Baxter  sold  to  John  Tilton,  of  Gravesend,  lot  No.  19,  in 
Gravesend,  formerly  owned  by  Thomas  Greedye. 

1670,  Jan.  5.  In  the  partition  of  land  on  Garretson's  Neck  and  Guisbert's  Island, 
into  thirty-nine  lots,  John  Tilton  was  assigned  two  of  them. 

1672.  John  Tilton  and  John  Tilton,  Jr.,  were  among  those  who  held  land  in  the 
West  meadow,  Gravesend. 

1675,  Sep.  6.  He  was  commissioned  one  of  the  Justices  of  the  Peace  of  King's 
County. 

1676,  June  26.  John  Tilton  and  John  Cook,  who  had  been  chosen  Overseers  of 
Gravesend,  being  Quakers,  refused  to  take  the  oath  of  office,  and  the  Court  of  Sessions 
dispensed  with  it,  directing  them  "to  give  their  engagements  to  Mr.  Justice  Hubbard  to 
perform  their  duties  as  overseers,  under  penalty  of  perjury." 


134  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

1681,  Apr.  15.  John  Tilton,  of  Gravesend,  sold  his  rights  in  two  acres  of  land,  lot 
No.  7,  on  Guisbert's  Island,  to  John  Carsonson,  of  Gravesend. 

1683.  John  Tilton,  of  Gravesend,  was  assessed  on  twenty-nine  acres  of  land,  one 
horse,  five  cows,  nine  sheep,  and  two  hogs. 

1688/9.  John  Tilton  was  among  those  who  received  land  in  Gravesend,  in  the 
public  division  of  the  same. 

The  maiden  name  of  Mary,  the  wife  of  John  Tilton,  is  to  me  unknown.  She  was 
apparently  the  mother  of  all  his  children.  And  it  was  probably  she  who  appeared, 
lacking  a  Christian  name,  but  described  as  the  wife  of  John  Tilton,  Jr.,  in  the  present- 
ments of  Dec.  14, 1642,  for  maintaining  that  baptism  was  no  ordinance  of  God. 

She  was  a  woman  of  strong  religious  convictions,  and  was  not  afraid  to  assert  them. 
The  inevitable  result  was  that  this  arrayed  her  against  the  authorities  both  in  New 
England  and  New  Amsterdam.  And  since  she,  as  well  as  her  husband,  was  a  follower 
of  George  Fox,  she  was  much  persecuted. 

"Goody  Tilton  was  not  so  much  condemned  for  assisting  at  Conventicles  as  for 
having,  like  a  sorceress,  gone  from  door  to  door  to  lure  and  seduce  the  people,  yea  even 
young  girls,  to  join  the  Quakers." 

She  died,  May  23  [29],  1683,  at  Gravesend,  and  was  no  doubt  interred  in  the  plot 
her  husband  later  left  in  his  will  for  burial  purposes. 

John  Tilton  died,  1688,  at  Gravesend,  leaving  the  following  will: 

I,  John  Tilton  off  Gravesend  in  the  Kings  Countie  upon  Long  Island  in  Yorkshire,  being  in  Perffect

TILTON  OF  NEW  JERSEY  135 

8  Mary  Tilton  born  [in  ye  iimo.]  June,  1654;  married  Henry  Bowman.  It  has 
been  thought  his  name  was  Carman,  but  in  the  will  of  his  father-in-law  it 
seems  to  have  been  spelled  boman,  with  a  small  letter  "b"  instead  of  the 
capital.  While  the  name  Carman  is  found  in  Monmouth  Co.,  at  a  little 
later  date,  Henry  Bowman  appears  to  have  paid  Quit  Rents  on  land  that  had 
been  recorded  to  him  in  1681,  and  which  adjoined  some  of  Peter  Tilton's 
land. 

2  JOHN  TILTON,  son  of  John  Tilton,  i,  born  4mo.  (June),  4,  1640;  died  probably 
early  in  the  year  1704,  his  will  having  been  probated  April  17th  of  that  year.  He  mar- 
ried, first,  at  Oyster  Bay,  L.  I.,  8mo.  (Oct.),  10,  1670,  Mary  Coats,  and  second,  at  Flush- 
ing, L.  I.,  3mo.  (May),  12,  1674,  Rebecca  Terry,  by  whom  he  appears  to  have  had  all  his 
children.  She  died,  in  Middletown,  N.  J.,  lomo.  (Dec),  18,  171 5.  This  date  for  her 
death  is  found  on  the  Shrewsbury  Quaker  Meeting  Records,  on  the  same  page  as,  and 
following  after  the  names  and  dates  of  birth  of  the  children  born  to  Walter  and  Sarah 
(Tilton)  Herbert.     And  Sarah  Herbert  was  her  own  daughter. 

1658,  Oct.  10.  Thomas  Greedye,  born  in  Devonshire,  England,  in  his  will  of  this 
date;  proved  Nov.  4,  1658,  devised  to  his  loving  friend  John  Tilton,  of  Gravesend,  his 
estate,  out  of  which  the  said  Tilton  was  to  pay  his  debts,  and  the  remainder  he  be- 
queathed to  Peter  Tilton,  son  of  said  John  Tilton,  excepting  only  one  small  sum  the 
which  I  have  given  unto  John  Tilton,  Jr. 

1662,  Nov.  16.  Order  for  John  Tilton,  Jr.,  to  deliver  up  a  boat  he  had  secured. 

1664,  I  mo.,  25.  John  Tilton,  Jr.,  and  his  brother-in-law,  Samuel  Spicer,  were  among 
those  named  in  the  first  purchase  of  land,  in  Monmouth  Co.,  from  the  Indian  Sachem 
Popomora.  This  deed  was  acknowledged  April  7,  1665,  and  is  on  record  in  the  Secretary 
of  State's  Office,  at  Albany  and  in  Trenton,  as  well  as  in  the  Proprietors'  Office  at  Perth 
Amboy. 

1683,  Aug.  13.  John  Tilton,  Jr.,  of  Gravesend,  sold  to  Martin  Petersen  (Wykoff) 
a  plantation  in  Gravesend. 

1684,  Mch.  26.  John  Tilton,  Jr.,  named  as  executor  in  the  will  of  Obadiah  Wilkins. 
1691/2,  Mch.  8.  John  Tilton,  of  Gravesend,  sold  to  Cort  Stevenson,  of  Flatlands, 

all  his  Gravesend  property,  for  £295,  reserving  the  use  for  twelve  months  to  remove 
therefrom.  About  this  time  he  would  seem  to  have  left  Gravesend  to  reside  in  Mon- 
mouth Co.  And  this  deduction  is  further  sustained  by  the  fact  that  his  brother,  Peter 
Tilton,  and  wife  Rebecca,  were  the  only  Tiltons  whose  names  appear  in  the  Quaker 
Records  up  to  1692. 

1694,  September.  He  was  one  of  the  Grand  Jurors  independent  enough  to  indict  one 
of  the  Judges  then  sitting  on  the  bench,  and  to  present  another. 

1700,  October.  He  was  committed  to  the  custody  of  the  Sheriff  for  "subscribing  a 
seditious  paper." 

1700,  9mo.,  (Nov.),  23.  Will  of  John  Tilton,  of  Middletown;  proved  Apr.  17,  1704. 
In  it  he  makes  no  mention  of  his  son  Abraham  Tilton,  probably  because  he  was  dead  at 
the  time  of  its  being  made.  Neither  does  the  testator  refer  in  it  to  his  youngest  daught- 
ers, Mary  and  Hester.  But  he  does  distinctly  declare  that  he  had  a  son  Peter  Tilton, 
who  is  not  of  age,  and  yet  this  Peter's  name  is  not  given  with  those  of  the  other  children 
in  the  Shrewsbury  Quaker  Records,  nor  in  the  Friends  Records  of  New  York  and 
Vicinity,  which  gives  his  children  and  their  birth  dates,  as  I  append  them. 

To  son,  John  Tillton,  five  shillings;  to  son  Samuel  Tillton  eighty-five  acres  of  upland  and  three  of

his  heirs,  not  yet  21 ;  in  case  of  his  death,  then  to  my  son  Daniel  Tillton,  and  his  heirs;  if  he  die  before  he 
come  of  age,  then  to  my  son  Thomas  Tillton,  and  his  heirs.  If  Peter  live  to  be  21,  then  he  is  to  pay  unto 
his  two  brothers  Daniell  and  Thomas  Tillton,  fivteen  pounds  to  each;  if  he  die,  Daniell  shall  pay  30  pounds 
to  Thomas.  Residue  to  my  wife  Rebecca  Tillton,  my  Executrix,  and  after  her  death,  to  be  equally  di-

been  about  this  time  that  he  moved  from  Shrewsbury  to  Middletown,  for  his  son,

7  THOMAS  TILTON,  son  of  John  Tilton,  i,  born  Mch.  i,  1652;  removed  to 
Delaware. 

1678.  Thomas  Tilton  was  witness  to  a  deed  in  Gravesend,  L.  I. 

In  direct  descent  from  this  Thomas  Tilton,  7,  who  removed  to  Delaware,  was  James 
Tilton,  a  reputed  son,  but  undoubtedly  he  was  a  grandson  instead,  as  records  on  file  at 
Washington,  in  the  Pension  Department,  state  that  he  was  about  sixty-nine  or  seventy 
years  of  age,  in  18 13,  and  died  May  14,  1822.  This  would  make  him  to  have  been  born 
about  1743  or  1744,  and  his  alleged  father,  Thomas,  would  have  been  about  ninety-five 
years  of  age  at  his  birth,  which  demonstrates  that  he  was  a  grandson  rather  than  a  son 
of  the  said  Thomas. 

It  is  further  shown  by  the  records  of  the  War  Department,  at  Washington,  that 
James  Tilton,  surgeon,  Colonel  John  Haslett's  Delaware  Regiment,  Revolutionary  War, 
was  commissioned,  Jan.  13,  1776,  and  was  honorably  discharged  at  the  expiration  of  one 
year;  that  he  was  appointed  physician  and  surgeon-general.  United  States  Army,  June

Dr.  James  Tilton  appears  to  have  made  some  efforts  to  trace  his  relationship  with 
the  New  Jersey  line,  and  to  have  given  to  members  of  it  some  items  concerning  his  own.

His  second  intentions  of  marriage  were  published,  in  the  Shrewsbury  Monthly 
Meeting  of  Women,  Nov.  5,  1722,  with  Lydia  Bills.  I  suspect  she  was  a  sister  to  that 
Elizabeth  who  joined  with  Peter  Tilton,  as  his  wife,  in  conveying  land,  Dec.  2,  1717,

Abigail  a  grand  daughter  of  Daniel  and  Rebecca  (Tilton)  Applegate.

20  PETER  TILTON,  son  of  Peter  Tilton,  3,  born  Apr.  10,  1672;  is  called  an 
Innholder,  of  Middletown,  June  15,  1699,  when  he  mortgages  one  hundred  acres  of  land 
that  had  been  conveyed  to  him  by  his  father  on  the  28th  of  the  preceding  March. 

His  earmark  is  recorded  March  2,  1695/6,  in  the  Middletown  Town  Book,  and  he 
is  called  uncle,  by  Benjamin  Carmin  when  the  same  mark  is  taken  up  by  him,  Jan.  19, 

1734/5- 

He  is  a  witness  at  the  marriage  of  his  cousin  Sarah  Tilton,  12,  to  Walter  Herbert, 

June  2,  1704,  as  is  also  Elizabeth  Tilton,  who  may  possibly  have  been  his  wife,  since  the 

other  Elizabeth  Tilton  then  present  and  signing  was  doubtless  the  wife  of  his  brother, 

John,  19. 

1709,  Nov.  10.  He  conveys  land  to  his  brothers,  Henry,  Samuel  and  John  Tilton,

*The  original  certificate  for  this  marriage,  issued  by  Obadiah  Bowne,  is  in  the  possession  of  Dr.  J.  E.  StiUwell.

action Abraham  Wilder,  Peter  Tilton,  Benjamin  Carman,  Sylvester  Tilton,  and  Joseph 
Tilton.  On  account  of  there  being  so  many  Tilton  witnesses  to  this  deed,  it  seems  most 
likely  that  they  were  the  brothers  of  Abel  Tilton,  the  grantor  and  heir  of  Peter,  20.

date,  probably  because  the  other  one  did  occur  then  and  the  family  could  not  be  at  them 
both  on  the  same  date.  Evident,  for  the  reason  that,  in  the  minutes  of  the  Monthly 
Meeting,  the  committee  appointed  to  attend  their  marriage,  reported  to  the  Meeting 
that  the  marriage  had  not  taken  place  up  to  the  time  of  their  report,  Jan.  6,  1745;  asked 
to  be  continued;  and  then  reported,  Feb.  3,  1745,  that  it  had  been  done  in  an  orderly 
manner.

1 82  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

201  REUBEN  TILTON,  son  of  Jeremiah  Tilton,  130,  "born  June  28,  1779;  died, 
May  9,  1826,  aged  46  years,  10  months  and  12  days;"  married  Mary  Holoway,  "bom 
Oct.  25,  1784;  died,  Apr.  25,  1827,  aged  42  years,  5  months  and  28  days."  These  are 
the  exact  readings  of  their  tombstones. 

Reuben  Tilton  was  probably  born  in  Monmouth  County,  and  from  there  removed 
to  Little  Washington,  near  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  but  returned  to  Monmouth  County, 
and  made  his  home  at  Morrisville,  near  Holmdel.  He  was  a  cooper  by  occupation,  and 
was  killed  by  the  falling  of  an  apple  tree  on  his  farm  at  Morrisville.  Originally  he  and 
his  wife  were  buried  at  Middletown,  but  afterwards  his  daughter,  Eliza  Shellard,  had 
their  bodies  removed  to  Keyport,  N.  J. 

Mrs.  Mary  Elizabeth  Morris,  of  Glendola,  has  stated  that  "My  great-grandfather, 
Jeremiah  Tilton,  had  a  daughter,  Lydia  Tilton,  a  sister  to  my  grandfather,  Reuben 
Tilton,  who  was  my  father's  aunt;  she  married  Richard  Bowne,  and  lived  to  be  nearly 
an  hundred  years  old." 

Mrs.  Mary  Ann  Borden,  of  Red  Bank,  N.  J.,  a  grand-daughter  of  the  Lydia  referred 
to  in  the  last  paragraph,  says  "Aunt  Polly,  the  wife  of  Reuben  Tilton,  was  a  half-sister 
to  my  grandmother,  Lydia  Wright." 

Mrs.  Sarah  Bowne,  wife  of  George  Crane,  another  grand-daughter  of  the  said  Lydia, 
but  by  her  second  husband,  Richard  Bowne,  says  "We  used  to  call  Charles  Tilton,  son 
of  Reuben  Tilton,  'cousin,'  because  he  was  related  to  us  on  my  father's  side." 

There  seems  very  good  reason,  therefore,  to  suppose  that  Lydia  was  in  some  way 
related  to  the  Tilton  family,  but  she  could  not  have  been  either  sister  or  half-sister  to 
Reuben,  for  the  dates  of  their  births  are  only  six  months  apart.  And,  furthermore,  she 
is  called  Lydia  Taylor,  the  wife  of  Richard  Bowne,  on  her  tombstone;  and  it  was  as 
"Lydia  Taylor,  the  daughter  of  the  wife  of  Lewis  Hall"  that  she  was  married,  first,  to 
Thomas  Wright,  Mch.  6,  1800,  by  John  Smock,  J.  P.  Both  names  are  spelled  errone- 
ously in  the  record  at  Freehold  of  her  second  marriage,  which  reads  Richard  Bound 
[Bowne]  married  Lydia  Right  [Wright]  at  Middletown,  Aug.  17,  1806.

The  late  Henry  M.  Walter,  of  Washington,  D.  C,  424  Eleventh  St.,  N.W.,  endeav- 
ored, but  in  vain,  to  connect  the  family  of  Tiltons  into  which  he  married  with  the  New 
Jersey  line. 

From  the  records  of  the  Pension  Department  he  learned  that  Peter  Tilton,  the  earliest  of  the  line  to 
whom  he  could  trace,  "served  as  a  member  of  Captain  Samuel  Clark's  company  of  New  York  State 
Troops,  in  the  Revolutionary  War,  this  company  having  been  'selected  from  the  militia  of  Ulster  County 
for  the  defense  of  the  State  of  New  York,  by  order  of  the  convention  of  the  said  State  dated  July  16,  1776.' 
His  name  appears  on  the  muster  roll  of  the  company,  not  dated,  with  record  as  follows:  'Day  of  enlistment 

July  31,  Day  which  marched,  Aug.  4,  .....    Time  of  enlistment,  till  last  day  of  Dec.     When

plexion, brown  hair  blue  eyes.' 

"It  also  appears  from  the  records  that  one  Peter  Tilton  served  as  a  private  in  Captain  Philip  D. 
Bevier's  company,  5th  New  York  Regiment,  commanded  by  Colonel  Lewis  Duboys,  Revolutionary  War. 
He  enlisted  March  i ,  1777,  to  serve  three  years,  and  was  discharged  January  20, 1780.  It  farther  appears 
from  the  records  that  one  Peter  Tilton  served  as  a  private  in  Captain  Jonathan  Piercy's  company  of 
Colonel  Albert  Pawling's  regiment.  New  York  Militia,  Revolutionary  War.  His  name  appears  on  a  list 
of  certificates  issued  by  the  Treasurer  of  the  State  of  New  York,  with  remark  showing  that  the  soldier 
received  a  certificate  for  services  in  178 1  in  the  regiment  mentioned."

Allen  P.  Tilton;  letters  of  administration  were  granted,  in  Atlantic  County,  on  his 
estate,  Oct.  16,  1888,  to  his  son,  John  H.  Tilton,  He  left  surviving  him  a  widow  Marion 
A.  Tilton,  and  the  son  who  was  made  his  administrator. 

CAPTAIN  CLAYTON  TILTON,  the  Tory,  of  Shrewsbury,  together  with  Aaron 
White,  was  one  of  the  prisoners  exchanged  for  Daniel  Randolph  and  Jacob  Flemming, 
who  had  been  captured  with  Captain  Joshua  Huddy,  at  Toms  River.  It  is  supposed 
that  he  accompanied  the  British  when  they  evacuated  New  York  City.  And  Mch.  10, 
1794,  twenty-four  hundred  and  forty-two  acres  of  land  were  granted  at  Musquash, 
New  Brunswick,  to  John  Mount,  Ebenezer  Scott  and  Clayton  Tilton.  In  1906,  I  am 
informed,  there  stood  upon  the  Tilton  grant  the  Musquash  School  House,  the  Church 
of  England  Rectory,  the  Shore  Line  Station  House,  and  several  residences. 

Volume  2  of  the  Second  Series  of  the  New  Jersey  Archives  relates  that  the  properties 
of  Ezekiel  Tilton,  and  John  Tilton,  late  of  Middletown,  and  of  Clayton  Tilton,  late  of 
Shrewsbury,  were  confiscated  after  the  Revolution. 

1774,  Mch.  25.  A  mortgage  is  on  record  at  Freehold,  given  by  Thomas  and  Francis 
Chadwick  and  their  wives  Elizabeth  and  Huldah,  which  shows  that  the  land  mortgaged 
was  bounded  on  the  east  and  south  by  Samuel  Pintard  and  Clayton  Tilton,  on  the  west 
by  a  highway,  and  on  the  north  by  the  North  or  Navesink  River. 

Clayton  Tilton  had  a  brother  John  Tilton,  who  was  also  a  Tory,  and  by  some  it 
has  been  supposed  that  they  were  brothers  to  the  Deborah  Tilton,  born  May  7,  1754; 
died  June  i,  1850,  who  married  William  White,  of  St.  John,  New  Brunswick.  But 
there  would  seem  to  be  little  more  than  conjecture  to  this. 

Clayton  Tilton  married,  first,  Catharine,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Almy  (Borden) 
Scott;  and,  after  her  death,  he  married,  July  30,  1805,  Elizabeth,  the  widow  of  Thomas 
Green,  of  Musquash;  died,  Nov.  30,  1827,  aged  64  years. 

"There  was  at  Fort  Howe  (St.  John,  N.  B.)  in  Garrison  in  1808,  a  regiment  which  had  been  recruited 
largely  out  of  the  British  prisons  in  the  exigencies  of  the  French  War.  It  was  the  loist  of  the  line,  and 
was  frequently  referred  to  as  the  'Hundred  and  Worst.'  The  officers  were  capable  men  but  the  rank  and 
file  were  a  hard  lot.  There  were  frequent  floggings,  and  the  Colonel  said  of  his  men  that  they  were  'bad 
everything,  except  bad  soldiers.'     On  the  Battle  field  they  were  all  right. 

Now  for  the  tragedy.  Henry  Baldwin,  James  Lannon  and  Patrick  McEvoy,  privates  in  the  loist 
regiment  at  Fort  Howe,  deserted  Oct.  17,  1808.  A  party  sent  to  Musquash  in  pursuit  of  them  failed  to 
find  them.  On  the  23rd  of  Oct.,  the  deserters  called  at  the  house  of  Ebenezer  Scott,  at  Musquash,  to 
inquire  the  way  to  Dipper  Harbor.  Clayton  Tilton,  living  about  two  hundred  yards  from  Scott's,  con- 
cluded it  his  duty  to  arrest  the  deserters,  and  with  two  men,  his  own  servant,  Frederick  Storm,  and 
Burdett,  his  neighbor  Scott's  man,  attempted  to  stop  the  deserters.  In  the  attempt  Clayton  Tilton  was 
shot  and  killed  by  Henry  Baldwin  with  nis  musket.  The  deserters  then  took  to  the  woods  and  made 
their  escape,  but  were  captured  some  days  afterwards  on  an  island  in  Passamaquoddy  Bay,  on  their  way 
to  the  United  States,  by  a  party  of  the  Charlotte  County  militia,  and  carried  before  a  magistrate  of  that 
County,  by  whose  order  they  were  sent  to  St.  John  for  trial.  The  prisoners  were  found  guilty  and  sen- 
tenced to  be  executed.  Patrick  McEvoy  was  recommended  by  the  jury  for  mercy,  he  being  a  youth 
between  18  and  19  years  of  age,  and  having  taken  no  active  part  in  the  murder  of  Tilton;  and  his  comrades 
having  testified  that  he  had  been  persuaded  by  them  to  desert. 

Baldwin  and  Lannon  were  hanged  near  the  Block  House  Hill,  corner  of  King  and  Wentworth  Streets, 
on  the  23rd  November,  just  one  month  from  the  day  the  crime  was  committed.  Justice  was  swift  in 
those  days.  At  the  execution,  the  rope  broke  with  each  of  the  prisoners,  and  the  unfortunate  men  had 
to  remain  standing  under  the  gallows  till  the  messenger  went  to  the  South  Wharf  (half  a  mile  away)  and 
returned  with  a  new  rope.  Some  few  years  since  some  street  laborers,  digging  about  the  place,  turned  up 
some  bones  and  fragments  of  red  clotn  to  which  military  buttons  were  attached,  evidently  the  remains 
of  these  two  unfortunate  fellows  who  were  buried  under  the  gallows."

214  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

Deeds  on  record  at  Freehold,  N.  J.,  show  that  one,  Samuel  Tilton,  married  Micah, 
daughter  of  Cyrenious  Van  Mater,  prior  to  June  5,  1802,  when  they  convey  to  her 
brother,  William  Van  Mater,  the  life  interest  which  was  theirs  in  property  that  had  been 
left  to  her  son,  Cyrenious  V.  Tilton,  by  his  grandfather,  after  whom  he  was  named. 
Cyrenious  V.  Tilton  and  his  sister,  Mary  Tilton,  were  left  a  legacy  by  their  aunt,  Mary 
Van  Mater,  in  her  will  of  18 13.  It  would  seem  as  though  they  were  of  Middletown. 
And  probably  it  was  he  whose  name  appears  in  the  New  York  City  Directories  for  1834 
to  1839,  as  Cyreno  Tilton,  mariner,  ^nd  Tyreno  Tilton,  mate. 

In  the  burying  ground  of  the  Methodist  Church,  at  Little  Silver,  N.  J.,  are  stones

wife  of  Edward  Tilton,  and  to  their  two  infant  children,  Ida  and  Sammie  Tilton.  Eliza- 
beth (Bennett)  Tilton  was  born  Jan.  25,  1845,  and  died  June  9,  1871. 

On  record  at  Trenton,  N.  J.,  is  the  will  of  a  Peter  Tilton,  supposed  by  some  to  have 
been  83,  of  Middlesex  Co.,  N.  J.,  dated  the  "twerieseventh  day  of  September  in  1794," 
which  was  proved  before  Anthony  W.  White,  Surrogate  of  Middlesex  Co.,  May  25, 
1 801,  and  letters  issued  to  Robert  Tilton  and  Robert  Karson.     In  it  he  mentioned: 

Peter  Tilton  Smith,  to  whom  he  left  a  "walking  cain  with  Ivery  head."  All  the  rest  of  his  estate  to 
his  five  children  viz.:  Elizabeth,  Robert,  Rebeckah,  William  and  Lidia.  Executors:  son,  Robert,  and 
Robert  Karson.    Witnesses:    John  Smith,  Sarah  Nixon,  Mary  Smith.

B.,  born  1869;  Francis,  born  1870;  Joseph,  born  1872;  Alice,  born  1875,  and  Ada  born, 
1877.  Along  with  their  names  was  that  also  of  Elisa  W.  Tilton,  born  1806,  who  was 
doubtless  the  mother  of  Benjamin  Tilton.

WILLIAM  TILTON,  of  Lynn,  had  at  least  two  wives.     By  the  first  he  had  issue 

a  son,  Peter  Tilton.     He  married  again,  one  Susannah ,  who,  upon  his  demise, 

married  Roger  Shaw,  and  moved  with  him  to  Hampton.  This  is  well  proven  by  the 
following  assertion;  that  "Roger  Shaw  and  last  wife  Susannah  that  Roger  Shaw  should 
give  the  children  she  had  by  her  first  husband,  as  follows,  to  Samuel  Tilton,  her  eldest 
son,  £30  at  age.  Samuel  Tilton  acknowledges  receipt  from  Joseph  Shaw,  executor  of 
Roger  Shaw,  June  12,  1661."  Also  Roger  Shaw  agreed  to  pay  Daniel  Tilton,  son  of 
William  Tilton,  of  Lynn,  deceased,  £10.  And  Samuel  Tilton,  guardian  of  Daniel, 
acknowledges  the  receipt  of  same  from  Joseph  Shaw,  executor,  Apr.  13,  1663. 

William  Tilton  was  an  old  resident  of  Lynn,  about  1640,  and  was  then,  apparently, 
somewhat  advanced  in  years,  for,  in  1646,  the  Essex  Court  records  state  that  William 
Tilton  was  freed  from  training  but  was  to  keep  his  arms  fixed.  And,  again,  in  1649, 
William  Tilton  was  freed  from  training  on  account  of  his  age.  From  this  data  I  am 
inclined  to  deduce  the  birth  of  William  as  having  occurred  about  1580,  and  of  his  son 
Peter,  approximately  about  1605-10.  Presuming  these  dates  to  be  correct,  the  migra- 
tion of  father  and  son  probably  took  place  not  far  from  1635. 

During  his  residence  at  Lynn,  William  Tilton  was  an  appraiser  of  the  estate  of 
Abraham  Belknap,  in  1643;  appraiser  of  the  estate  of  Francis  Lighttoot,  in  1646,  and 
administrator  of  the  estate  of  Edward  Lewis,  in  1650. 

"In  1 86 1,"  writes  Mr.  William  P.  Tilton,  of  Boston,  "my  uncle  had  careful  examina- 
tion made  of  the  records  in  England,  and  again  in  1873,  ^Y  great-uncle,  General  William 
S.  Tilton,  had  an  advertisement  placed  in  the  London  Times,  offering  a  reward  of  £5, 
for  proof  of  the  births  and  baptisms  of  William,  Peter  and  John  Tilton."  No  success 
followed  these  efforts.  But  data  was  obtained,  shedding  light  upon  the  early  English 
family  bearing  the  name  of  Tilton.  These  extended  references  are  in  the  possession  of 
members  of  the  New  England  family.     Two  items  alone,  of  what  I  have  seen,  suggest

any  means  of  connecting  the  American  with  the  English  family,  viz.:  (a)  "In  1639," 
writes  William  P.  Tilton,  "Rev.  Ephraim  Huet,  the  minister  of  a  church  in  Wroxhall, 
Warwickshire,  with  several  members  of  his  church,  among  them  Peter  Tylton,  settled 
in  Dorchester,  Mass.,  being  prosecuted  for  non-conformity,  by  the  Bishop  of  Worcester. 
Warwickshire  is  an  adjoining  county  to  Leicestershire,  and  Leicestershire  is  the  original 

home  of  the  Tiltons."  ,     /-i     ,     tt  •      ^o

Mass.  Col.  Records,  and  Whitmores  Heraldic  Journal,  p.  23.  These  serve  to  connect 
him  with  the  family  in  Leicestershire.

2  PETER  TILTON,  son  of  William  Tilton,  i ,  probably  settled  at  Windsor,  Conn., 

between  1635  and  1640;  he  married  there.  May  10,  1639,  Mary ;  and  if  this  was  a 

first  marriage,  it  was  somewhat  belated  for  his  years.     In  1659,  he  was  of  Hadley,  Mass. 

Peter  Tilton  was  a  man  of  great  prominence  in  New  England;  he  was  a  Representa- 
tive to  the  General  Court  for  many  years,  and  an  Assistant,  for  seven  years.  He  was 
largely  concerned  with  Mr.  Rogers  and  Mr.  Saltonstall,  in  concealing  Goffe  and  Whalley, 
the  Regicides,  and  was  cited  to  appear  before  the  British  Parliament  for  befriending 
them,  and  it  is  supposed  that  one  of  them  was  buried  in  his  garden.  See  Stiles'  History

WALL 
OF 
MONMOUTH  COUNTY 


1  WALTER  WALL  was  born  in  1619,  and  came  to  America  from  Wiltshire,  Eng- 
-land,  between  the  years  1 635-1 640. 

He,  seemingly,  was  the  Walter  Wall,  aged  sixteen,  transported  to  St.  Christopher's, 
in  1635.  Hottens  List  of  Emigrants,  p.  126. 

He  was  a  resident  of  New  Amsterdam  for  an  uncertain  period,  and  then  joined  in 
the  settlement  of  Gravesend,  L.  L  On  the  Town  Record  appear  a  number  of  allusions 
to  him: 

1645,  Aug.  10.  He  received  a  plantation. 

1654,  Sept.  11.  He  purchased  lot  No.  14. 

1657.  He  had  seven  and  one-half  morgens  of  land  in  tillage  in  Gravesend. 

1658.  Nov.  9.  He  purchased  lot  No.  i. 

1659.  Walter  Wall  named  at  Hempstead,  L.  L,  Onderdonck" s  Hempstead,  p.  104, 
was  doubtless  the  same  individual. 

Ann  Wall,  alluded  to  below,  I  have  not  identified,  but  suspect  she  was  the  wife  of 
Walter  Wall,  as  he  had  one  of  that  name. 

Sir  Henry  Moody  vs  Anthony  Johnson  Van  Salee 

The  complainant  alleges  that  Johnson  Van  Salee  came  to  his  house  and  used  abusive  language. 
Annetje  Wall  testified  that  she  was  scouring  pewter  there  and  Johnson  Van  Salee  asked  her  what  she  did 
there  and  commanded  her  to  take  it  away,  calling  Sir  Henry  Moody,  at  the  same  time,  a  dog,  a  rogue  and 
a  "skellumme,"  (i.  e.  a  scallywag — Dutch  word),  and  abused  her  with  evil  language.  The  court  fined 
the  defendant  10  guilders,  and  enjoined  him  to  behave  better  or  fare  worse.  Gravesend  Court  Records. 
Quoted  in  the  pamphlet  on  "Lady  Deborah  Moody,"  by  Mr.  Girard. 

1665.  He  was  one  of  the  Associate  Patentees  of  the  Monmouth  Patent,  and  as 
such,  paid  £4. 

1666  or  1667.  He  moved  to  Middletown,  N.  J.,  and  located  upon  a  farm  about  two 
miles  to  the  west  of  the  center  of  the  village,  the  title  to  which,  in  the  early  part  of  1800, 
was  vested  in  John  Stout  and  Daniel  D.  Hendrickson. 

1667,  Dec.  30.  Walter  Wall,  of  Middletown,  N.  J.,  was  awarded  lot  No.  4;  also  lot 
No.  32,  outside,  in  the  Poplarfield.

1670.  Walter  Wall  was  stated  to  have  paid  for  shares  of  land  in  Middletown,  N.  J. 

1676,  Jan.  10.  He  paid  quit-rent  of  £0-10-2,  on  two  hundred  and  forty-four  acres, 
in  Middletown,  N.  J. 

1677.  He  paid  on  two  hundred  and  forty  acres  in  Shrewsbury,  N.  J. 
1679.  He  also  paid  quit-rents. 

1686.  He  also  paid  quit-rents,  but  the  quantity  is  not  mentioned. 

1688,  May  10.  He  paid  quit-rent  of  £0-6-0,  on  one  hundred  acres,  in  Middletown, 

N.  J. 

1702.  He  died  somewhere  about  this  date,  or  earlier,  as  his  cattle-mark  was  then 
transferred  to  another,  which  he  originally  recorded,  in  1668,  in  the  Town  Book,  of  Mid- 
dletown, N.  J.,  as  follows:  "a  half  moone  cutt  out  of  the  under  side  off  both  eares." 

1702,  Sept.  26.  This  earmark  was  recorded  to  James  Cox;  17 12,  July  21,  to  Walter 
Wall,  and  in  179 1,  to  Cornelius  Hendrickson. 

Walter  Wall  signed  by  his  mark.

6b  Probably  a  daughter  who  married  Thomas  Cox,  2. 

William  Leed's  letter  to  Cox,  written  I  think  between  17 16  and  1736,  says,  referring 
to  his  rights  in  a  dispute  about  the  title  of  lands  he  held;  "a  little  time  after  we  came  to 
Swiming  River,  Tho^  Wright  and  his  wife  died,  and  my  father  planted  the  land  then  as 
Wright  had  cleared  and  Jarrat  Wall  was  in  a  pucker.  He  would  arrest  my  father  for  a 
trespass,  ay  that  he  would,  but  Samuel  Leonard  met  with  him  and  showed  him  it  was 
out  of  Stout's  power  to  make  a  lawful  title  for  any  land  at  Swiming  River,  the  22  of 

June,  1676, and  so  Jarrat  had  done  and  we  heard  no  more  for  several  years,  but  at 

last  it  came  into  his  head  that  he  would  get  the  articles  of  agreement  or  writing  acknowl- 
edged and  recorded  and  so  let  it  lye " 

3  MARIA  or  MARY  WALL,  daughter  of  Walter  Wall,  i,  is  the  person  probably 
alluded  to  below. 

1663,  June  12.  "The  corte  having  heard  the  difference  between  Walter  Wall  and  Nathanyell  Britton

this  in  the  presence  of  Will  Wilkins,  John  Cooke,  Charles  Morgan,  Will  Goulding,  Clarke." 

Gravesend,  L.  I.,  Court  Records. 

It  is  likely  that  Walter  Wall  had  become  a  widower,  and  had  bound  out  his  daughter, 
Mary,  a  mere  child,  for  her  better  bringing  up,  to  Nathaniel  Britton. 

4  JOHN  WALL,  son  of  Walter  Wall,  i,  was,  probably,  born  between  1640  and 
1650. 

1670.  John  Wall  appeared  in  Middletown,  N.  J. 

As  an  Associate  Patentee,  in  the  purchase  of  the  Monmouth  Tract,  he  paid  £3-10. 

By  exclusion,  I  believe  him  to  be  a  son  of  Walter  Wall,  i. 

5  JARRAT  WALL,  son  of  Walter  Wall,  i,  was  probably  born  between  1640  and 
1650,  and  resided  in  Middletown,  N.  J.

It  is  possible  the  first  Jarret  or  Garret  Wall  may  have  had  the  Enghsh  name, 
Gerard,  transformed  by  the  early  settlers  into  the  Dutch — Garret. 

1680,  Apr.  21.  He  paid  a  quit-rent  on  one  hundred  acres  of  land,  in  Middletown,

John  and  Walter  Wall,  executors,  and  mentioned  his  children. 

The  wife  of  Jarrat  Wall,  5,  was  probably  Pauline,  daughter  of  Clement  and  Peula 
or  Poulin  Masters,  of  Shrewsbury,  N.  J.

"Mary  Pew's  mother  was  a  French  lady  named  Peula  Masters,"  said  Asher  Taylor,

Despite  the  assertion  that  this  Mary  Wall  marned  Lol.  Ludlow,  the  following  de- 
duction seems  to  me  plausible.  .  ,,„,,.,,, 

Oct.  31,  1751.  John  Willet  had  a  license  issued  to  marry  Mary  Wall;  they  had  a 
daughter,  named  Lydia,  born  Mch.  28,  1752,  who  married  Samuel,  son  of  Samuel  and 
Mary  (Passel)  Tilton,  and  named  one  of  their  sons,  Humphrey  Tilton.  Undoubtedly 
Humphrey  was  indebted  for  his  name  to  the  Wall  family,  as  his  mother  Lydia  if  she  were 
the  daughter  of  Jarrat  Wall,  20,  as  appears  to  have  been  the  case,  had  a  brother  and 
an  uncle  Humphrey  Wall. 

22  HUMPHREY  WALL,  son  of  Jarrat  Wall,  8,  was  bom  1720;  died,  Apr.  11,

and  9  days,  or  79  years,  3  months  and  3  days.  He  was  murdered  in  Burlington  County, 
and  "Old  Si"  was  hung  for  it. 

1773.  He  recorded  his  earmark,  in  Middletown,  N.  J. 

1763,  Aug.  25.  Humphrey  Wall,  of  Monmouth  County,  had  a  license  to  marry 
Elizabeth  Tilton,  of  Burlington  County.  She  was  Elizabeth  Thome,  widow  of  Abraham 
Tilton,  and  was  born  3mo.,  5,  1725.  They  had  an  only  son  son  Joseph  Wall  from  whom

The  dates  do  not  agree  exactly  with  those  given  on  page  302,  Vol.  2  of  Historical 
Miscellany,  but  there  can  be  no  doubt  whatsoever  that  we  have,  in  the  two  entries, 
reference  made  to  the  one  individual,  viz.:  Susannah  Wall,  the  wife  of  Richard  Burdge, 
and  the  curious  thing  about  it  is,  that  while  there  is  a  difference  of  two  years  between 
the  epitaph  and  the  Church  record,  for  the  date  of  her  death,  there  is  none  at  all  as 
regards  the  date  of  her  birth;  hence  the  Church  record  should  probably  read  1754 
instead  of  1752,  and  this  is  the  more  likely  as  the  entries  of  various  years  in  this  record 
are  oft  times  not  clearly  separated  one  from  the  other. 

In  this  connection  it  will  perhaps  be  well  to  note  another  error,  relating  to  Hannah 
the  daughter  of  the  preceding  Susannah  (Wall)  Burdge. 

She  is  stated  to  have  been  born  Feb.  15,  1744,  and  died  Aug.  26,  1807,  when  she 
would  have  been  63,  6,  11,  instead  of  63,  7,  11.

Walter  and  James  Wall,  reputed  sons  of  Humphrey  Wall,  came  from  New  Jersey, 
and  settled  on  a  neck  of  land,  called  "The  Forks,"  lying  between  the  Monongahela  and 
the  Youghiogheny  Rivers,  about  sixteen  miles  South  of  Pittsburgh,  in  Alleghany  County, 
Pa.  For  years  this  locality  was  known  as  The  Jersey  Settlement,  by  reason  of  its  num- 
erous settlers  from  New  Jersey,  especially  from  Monmouth  County.  In  1769,  after 
having  cleared  land  and  built  houses,  they  brought  their  families.  The  records  of  these 
Walls  were  destroyed,  by  accident,  many  years  ago,  and  I  am  strongly  inclined  to  believe 
that  instead  of  Walter  and  James  Wall  being  the  sons  of  Humphrey  Wall,  they  were 
the  children  of  James  Wall,  as  appears  from  the  following  will: 

1750-51,  Mch.  13;  will  proved  Apr.  4,  1760,  to  which  he  made  his  mark.  James

Upon  the  authority  of  Austin's  Rhode  Island  Dictionary  there  was  residing,  as 
early  as  Jan.  22,  165 1,  in  Providence,  R.  I.,  a  Thomas  Walling,  at  which  date  Roger 
Williams,  of  Narragansett,  writing  to  the  town  of  Providence,  probably  alluding  to  him 
said  "I  understand  that  one  of  the  orphans  of  our  dear  friend  Daniel  Abbot  is  likely  (as 
she  herself  told  me)  to  be  disposed  of  in  marriage.  'Tis  true  she  has  now  come  to  some 
years,  but  who  knows  not  what  need  the  poor  maid  hath  of  your  fatherly  care,  counsel 
and  direction.  I  would  not  disparage  the  young  man  (for  I  hear  he  hath  been  labori- 
ous)," etc.  He  desired  the  town,  however,  to  have  some  assurance  that  the  young  man 
will  "forsake  his  former  courses."  Thomas  Walling  married,  first,  Mary  Abbott,  who

Gershom  Walling  had  once  a  headstone  in  the  oldest  family  graveyard,  which  was  broken 
and  which  stated  that  he  died  in  1727.     Mrs.  Jewett  was  then  a  mere  child.

WATSON 

OF 

MONMOUTH  COUNTY 

There  were,  apparently,  two  distinct  families  of  this  name,  among  the  early  settlers 
of  Monmouth  County,  N.  J.  James  Steen,  Esq.,  a  painstaking  investigator,  thinks 
differently,  however,  and  inclines  to  the  belief  that  Peter  Watson's  cousin,  John,  to 
whom  he  wrote,  in  August,  1684,  urging  his  removal  to  East  Jersey,  is  represented  by 
Capt.  Abraham  Watson,  of  Middletown,  who  died  1756,  which  would  make  the  two 
families  of  kin.     I  have  never  seen  anything  to  sustain  this  belief. 

John  Watson,  the  early  settler  in  Monmouth  County,  had  a  previous  residence  in 
New  York  City,  where  he  had  his  children  baptised  in  the  Dutch  Church: 

1685,  June  3.  Jan  Watson  and  wife,  Sara,  had  Lysbeth  baptized.  Witnesses: 
Vincent  Smith  and  Jannetie  Jans. 

1688,  Jan,  4.  John  Watson  and  wife,  Sara  Hidding,  had  Abraham  baptized.  Wit- 
nesses: Willem  Estin  and  Grietje  Kermer. 

Some  time  after  this,  he  settled  on  the  Bay  Shore,  in  Monmouth  County,  where  he 
died  in  1708. 

"Changarores  the  11'''  June,  1708.

Jersey  Watsons. 

John  Watson  had,  seemingly  two  wives;  the  first,  Sara  Hidding  [Hedden?];  the 
second,  Elizabeth  Bockworth,  a  widow.

2  ELIZABETH  WATSON,  daughter  of  John  Watson,  i. 

In  1724,  Elizabeth  and  John  Watson  were  witnesses  to  the  will  of  John  Stout,  of 
Middletown.  Whether  this  Elizabeth  Watson  was  the  sister  or  wife  of  this  John  Wat- 
son, I  am  uninformed,  but  incline  to  the  belief  that  she  was  his  sister,  and  a  daughter 
of  John  Watson,  i. 

3  ABRAHAM  WATSON,  son  of  John  Watson,  i,  was  baptised,  Jan.  4,  1688,  in 
the  Dutch  Church,  in  New  York  City. 

His  tombstone,  in  the  defunct  Presbyterian  Churchyard,  in  Middletown,  N.  J., 
states  that  Capt.  Abraham  Watson  died,  in  1756,  at  the  age  of  sixty-seven  years.  The 
discrepancies  in  dates,  so  commonly  occurring  in  tombstone  and  bible  records,  are  seen 
here.  They  were  not  infrequently  simply  an  approximation.  Again  the  computation 
may  have  been  with  the  birth  date  in  old  style  and  the  death  date  in  new  style. 

Capt.  Abraham  Watson  is  reputed  to  have  had  two  wives,  Mary and  Eliza- 
beth   ,  who  was  probably  the  Elizabeth  Watson,  whose  marriage  license,  to  Thomas 

Walling,  of  Middletown,  was  issued  May  9,  1759.  Thomas  Walling  also  had  been  mar- 
ried, widowed,  and  was  along  in  years  like  his  future  spouse. 

Abraham  Watson  was  a  sea  captain  of  many  years  experience.  He  sailed  the 
sloops,  "John  &  Samuel,"  "Happy  Margaret"  and  "Mary,"  from  Perth  Amboy,  to  and 
from  Boston,  Newport,  and  other  ports,  in  the  years  1723,  1724,  1725,  1726,  1729,  1730, 
1733,  and  1734.  In  the  last  two  years,  he  was  accompanied  by  his  son,  John,  whom  he 
was  doubtless  training  for  a  similar  vocation. 

171 1,  January.  Abram  Watson  recorded  his  cattle-mark,  formerly  Richard  Com- 
ton's,  in  the  Middletown  Town  Book. 

1712,  Feb.  20.  Derick  Tyson,  of  Middletown,  yeoman,  and  Antje,  his  wife,  sold 
land  to  Abraham  Watson,  boatman. 

17 17,  May  20.  Humphrey  Wall,  of  Middletown,  sold  to  Abraham  Watson,  planter, 
land,  which  "s"^  Wall  had  from  his  father,  Jarret,"  lying  on  Conascunk  Creek. 

1717,  Aug.  21.  Abraham  Watson,  of  Middletown,  yeoman,  and  Elizabeth,  his  wife, 
conveyed  land  to  Thomas  Kearney.  She  made  her  mark.  Witnesses:  Gershom  Mott,

WATSON  OF  MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  N.  J.  249 

In  1721,  John  Watson,  evidently  a  sea  captain,  bore  a  letter  from  Thomas  Paul,  of 
Edinburgh,  Scotland,  to  James  Paul,  his  brother,  residing  in  Middletown,  N.  J.,  and, 
in  1724,  John  Sout  [Stout?],  of  Middletown,  made  his  will  to  which  John  Watson  and 
Elizabeth  Watson  affixed  their  signatures  as  witnesses. 

1730,  Oct.  10.  John  Watson,  William  Bowne  and  James  Bowne,  Jr.,  were  witnesses 
to  the  will  of  James  Paul,  miller,  of  Middletown,  N.  J.,  on  this  date.  James  Paul  left 
all  of  his  property  to  the  four  youngest  children  of  Obadiah  Bowne.  The  executors  of 
the  will  were  Jeremiah  White  and  John,  son  of  Obadiah  Bowne. 

This  John  Watson  I  conceive  is  the  supposed  son,  John  Watson,  above  mentioned. 

He  was,  probably,  the  John  Watson,  ship-master,  sailing  his  vessel  from  Perth 
Amboy,  N.  J. 

5  JOHN  WATSON,  son  of  Abraham  Watson,  3,  died  prior  to  1749,  for,  in  that 
year,  his  widow,  Hope,  became  the  wife  of  John  Burrows,  of  Middletown.  She  was 
born,  Hope  Taylor,  in  the  year  1721  and  died  1792,  and  was  buried,  in  the  yard  of  the 
defunct  Presbyterian  Church,  Middletown,  N.  J.,  next  to  her  second  husband,  John 
Burrows,  and  adjacent  to  her  father-in-law,  Capt.  Abraham  Watson. 

Tradition  has  it  that  Capt.  John  Watson,  her  husband,  was  drowned  at  sea,  and  I 
judge  it  was  between  1747  and  1748. 

The  following  record  is  from  an  old  Bible,  owned  by  Mr.  Asher  Holmes,  of  Wicka-

9    ABRAM  WATSON,  son  of  John  Watson,  5,  was  born  in  1747  and  died  in  1767. 

1756,  Dec.  9.  Abram  Watson  recorded  the  cattle-mark  of  his  grandfather,  Abram 
Watson,  in  the  Middletown  Town  Book.  At  this  date,  he  was  but  nine  years  of  age 
and  it  was  probably,  entered  by  the  order  of  his  guardian.  Later,  this  mark  was  con- 
veyed to  John  Burrows. 

1787.  Samuel  Dorset  took  oath  that  Sarah  and  Elizabeth  were  the  granddaughters 
and  only  heirs  of  Capt.  Abram  Watson. 

The  following  memorandum  probably  refers  to  Abram  Watson. 

Hope  Burrows  lost  her  only  grown  son.  A  letter,  of  great  beauty  of  expression  and 
pathos,  written  by  her,  was  found,  some  years  since,  among  the  effects  of  Cyrus  Bruen, 
whose  daughter,  Mrs.  Charles  H.  Conover,  of  Marlboro,  N.  J.,  had  it  for  some  time. 
She  loaned  it  to  the  late  Judge  Bennington  H.  Randolph,  of  Jersey  City,  who  dying, 
it  was  lost,  or  mislaid,  among  his  numerous  papers.  The  substance  and  text  of  it,  as 
recalled  by  Mrs.  Conover,  is: 

Today  I  have  written  thus  that  if  in  the  future  any  of  my  children  or  grand  children  shall  see  this 

f)aper  they  will  know  the  sufferings  of  my  heart.    This  is  the  anniversary  of  the  death  of  my  son  John 
Abraham?],  who  died  at  the  house  of  his  master,  in  New  York,"  etc.,  etc. 

It  is  my  impression  that  the  son  alluded  to,  was  Abram  Watson,  her  son  by  her  first 
husband.  The  statement  that  he  was  at  the  house  of  his  master,  in  New  York,  may  have 
referred  to  a  marine  master,  i.  e.  shipmaster  or  owner. 

The  other  Watson  Family,  in  Monmouth  County,  descended  from:

1683,  as  an  indentured  servant,  to  serve  four  years.     New  Jersey  Archives,  Vol.  /,  p.  465.

belonging  to  the  Proprietors.  New  Jersey  Archives,  Vol.  /,  p.  §12. 

In  1700,  Peter  Watson  was  in  Monmouth  County,  where  he,  with  other  Scotchmen, 
bought  land  on  Matawan  Creek. 

Peter  Watson  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  "Old  Scots,"  (now  Tennent),  Church.

land  where  William  Hoge  then  lived,  together  with  stock,  crops,  goods  and  chattels, 
paying  therefor  £250.  This  land  was  one  of  the  Wickatunk.  lots,  and  was  formerly 
John  Reid's.  The  Hoge  plantation  remained  in  the  Watson  family  until  1762,  when  it 
was  deeded  to  Agnes  (Watson)  Freneau.  It  is  still  called  The  Freneau  Place,  and  is  at

wife,  Agnes,  (who  was  probably  his  second  wife);  sons,  William,  the  eldest,  Richard,  Gawin,  David, 
Peter;  deceased. 

Agnes  Watson,  widow  of  Peter  Watson,  dying  in  1728,  left  all  of  her  property 
away  from  the  Watson  family  and  among  her  friends  and  relatives,  hence  it  does  not 
seem  as  if  she  were  the  mother  of  Peter  Watson's  children.  It  seems  as  if  his  first  wife's 
name  might  have  been  Euphemia,  as  his  four  sons  each  had  a  daughter  by  that  name. 
James  Steen,  Esq.,  of  Eatontown,  N.  J.,  states,  positively,  that  Peter  Watson  married 
the  daughter  of  Alexander  Napier,  who,  in  his  will  dated  Feb.  7,  1744,  speaks  of  grand- 
children:— David,  Margaret,  Agnes  and  Elizabeth  Watson,  but  as  these  names  do  not 
correspond  with  the  names  of  the  children  mentioned  in  Peter  Watson's  will,  and  as  the 
dates  of  the  wills  are  so  far  apart,  I  am  inclined  to  think  that  it  was  Peter  Watson's 
son,  David,  who  married Napier.

WHITE* 

OF 

NEW  JERSEY 


It  was  previously  assumed  that  Thomas  White,  the  immigrant,  was  the  father  of 
Samuel  White  and  of  Peter  White,  and  grandfather  of  Thomas  White  and  of  Samuel 
White,  who  married  Elizabeth  Wardell,  and  of  Amos  White,  the  first  mentioned  Samuel 
White  being  the  father  of  these  three  sons.  This  was  deemed  to  be  the  relationship 
between  the  different  individuals  mentioned,  because  real  estate  that  had  been  acquired 
by  the  elder  Samuel,  as  oldest  son  of  Thomas,  the  immigrant,  is  found  in  the  possession 
of  the  second  Thomas,  and  presumably  it  could  only  have  gotten  there  by  the  law  of 
primogeniture.  In  reality  the  law  referred  to  was  strictly  carried  out,  but,  through  the 
death  of  the  son  Joel  White  born  to  Samuel  White,  the  property  next  went  to  Thomas 
White  as  brother  and  not  son  of  Samuel  White. 

There  is  no  proof  whatever  that  there  were  two  Samuels,  the  one  of  the  second 
generation  having  been  the  father  of  that  Samuel  who  married  Elizabeth  Wardell.  In 
fact,  the  evidence  at  hand,  and  particularly  the  expression  made  use  of  in  the  will  of 
Peter  White,  appointing  "cousins  Samuel  VVhite  and  Thomas  White  as  supervisors  and 
assistants  to  their  Aunt,"  requires  that  we  regard  Thomas  White,  the  immigrant  and 
Peter  White  as  brothers. 

Who  the  parents  of  these  men  were  we  do  not  know.

74  Deborah  White  married,  by  hcense  dated  Apr.  21,  1758,  Joseph  Wardell; 
each  of  Shrewsbury. 

27  LEAH  WHITE,  daughter  of  Thomas  White,  6,  born  1688,  according  to  a 
pamphlet  giving  the  Tucker  genealogy.  This  is  probably  based  upon  a  mistaken  read- 
ing of  the  Quaker  records  of  Shrewsbury,  that  says  she  died,  2mo.  (Feb.)  18,  1767,  aged 
78  years,  which  properly  deciphered  is  73  not  78  years.  This  would  have  made  her 
birth  to  have  occurred  about  1694.  She  marned,  first,  about  1713,  (Samuel?),  son  of 
WiUiam  Wilbur,  born  Feb.  17,  1691;  died  between  1714  and  1717;  second,  Oct.  3,  1717, 
James,  son  of  John  and  Ruth  (Woolley)  Tucker,  born  Aug.  27,  1691;  died  Sep.  29,  1776. 

Thomas  White  and  James  Tucker  were  among  the  first  settlers  along  the  seashore, 
of  the  place  that  is  now  called  Deal,  N.  J.,  and  it  is  said  that  it  got  its  name  from  the 
fact  that  the  Whites  came  from  Deal,  Kent  Co.,  England;  likewise  from  the  Tuckers 
having  come  from  the  same  place.  At  any  rate  the  Tuckers  seem  to  have  had  an  estate 
here  in  New  Jersey  three  times  as  large  as  that  of  the  Whites,  the  one  having  perhaps 
twenty-five  hundred  acres  to  the  others  eight  hundred.  And,  further,  the  name  was 
applied  to  the  place  at  an  earlier  date  than  would  appear  to  correspond  with  the  coming 
of  the  Tuckers  from  New  England  to  New  Jersey,  there  being  a  deed  on  record  at  Tren- 
ton, dated  May  12,  1683,  in  which  "Thomas  Potter,  of  Deale,  near  Shrowesbury,  N.  J., 
planter,"  conveys  land  in  Fenwick's  Colony  to  an  inhabitant  of  Rhode  Island. 

1710,  Oct.  I.  Leah  White  is  a  witness  at  the  marriage  of  her  sister,  Rachel,  to  Isaac 
Hance.

old.     Jacob  Lippincott  was  surety  on  their  marriage  bond.     Uriah  was 

taxed,  in  1759,  and  Valeriah  Lippincott,  in  1760  and  1768,  thus  indicating 

that  Uriah  probably  died  in  1759  or  1760.

31  LEVI  WHITE,  son  of  Thomas  White,  6,  died  1784;  married,  (Mch.  13?), 
1733,  Ann,  probably  the  daughter  of  Robert  Lippincott.  First,  as  regards  the  date  of 
her  marriage,  and  then  about  her  parentage.  The  records  of  the  Quakers,  at  Shrews- 
bury, state  that  Levi  White  and  Ann  Lippincott  were  married,  imo.,  13,  1733,  which, 
according  to  the  chronology  of  that  time,  would  be  March  and  not  January.  But  the 
minutes  of  the  Mens'  Monthly  Meeting  distinctly  declare  that  their  first  intentions 
were  published,  gmo.  (Nov.),  5,  1733;  their  second  intentions,  lomo.  (Dec.)  3,  1733, 
and  that  the  committee  reported,  iimo.  (Jan.),  7,  1733,  that  they  had  been  married  in 
an  orderly  manner.  Hence  it  is  evident  that  their  marriage  occurred  at  an  earlier  date 
than  the  records  give  them  credit  for,  although  in  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1733. 

These  same  records  also  show  the  following  entry:  "Thomas  &  Christian  White's 
son,  George  White,  married  Ann,  daughter  of  John  Lippincott,  whose  son  Benjamin 
White,  born  12  ["4"  in  lead  pencil]  of  i2mo.,  1755;"  etc.,  etc. 

This  Benjamin  White  wrote  a  memorial  of  his  life,  in  which  he  states  that  he  was 
"born  on  the  4th  day  of  the  12th  months  1755.     My  father  George  White  son  of  Thomas

and  Christian  White,  my  Mother  Anna,  daughter  of  John  Lippincott  she  dying  when  I 
was  voung,  I  have  but  a  slight  remembrance  of  her." 

'lainly  the  correction  in  the  records  for  the  birth  of  Benjamin  was  made  from  the 
manuscript.  But  the  confusion  arising  from  the  making  of  the  same  woman  to  have  been 
the  wife  of  two  different  men  must  be  accounted  for  on  other  grounds.  It  has  been  stated 
in  the  genealogy  of  the  Lippincotts  that  Levi  White  married  Anne  the  daughter  of  John 
and  Sarah  (Huet)  Lippincott;  and  it  has  been  declared  by  more  than  one  genealogist 
that  it  was  George  White,  son  of  Thomas  and  Christian,  who  married  this  same  Anne 

Lippincott.  T      •   XT  1 

To  my  mind  there  is  no  doubt  that  George,  and  not  Levi,  White  married  Ann,  the 
daughter  of  John  and  Sarah  (Huet)  Lippincott,  because  her  own  grandson,  Benjamin 
White,  98,  says  she  was  John's  daughter;  because  George  and  Ann  White  name  their 
oldest  children,  John  and  Sarah,  after  the  maternal  grandparents;  and  because  she  would 
have  been  only  fourteen  years  of  age  at  the  time  of  her  marriage  to  Levi,  if  we  accept 
the  date  as  given  in  the  Quaker  Records,  having,  as  they,  show,  been  born  iimo.,  5, 
1719/20.*  Furthermore,  the  signatures  of  John,  Thomas  and  Jacob  Lippincott,  as  wit- 
nesses, when  Levi  and  Ann  were  married,  can  be  readily  accounted  for  as  those  of  her 
uncle  and  his  two  sons,  if  we  suppose  her  to  have  been  the  daughter  of  Robert  Lippincott, 
mentioned  but  not  named  in  the  will  of  her  grandfather,  John  Lippincott,  whose  wife  was 
Ann  (Barber),  after  whom  each  of  these  granddaughters  received  the  name  of  Ann.  This 
John  Lippincott,  the  grandfather,  refers  to  her  as  "the  daughter  of  my  deceased  son, 
Robert  Lippincott."

Parker,  51. 

1799,  Oct.  5.  George  Van  Pelt,  of  Shrewsbury,  and  Elizabeth  his  wife,  convey  to 
Jacob  White,  also  of  Shrewsbury,  all  right,  title  and  interest  to  the  one-sixth  interest  in 
the  land  whereon  Joseph  White  dwelt,  by  virtue  of  being  one  of  the  heirs  of  said  Joseph 
White,  deceased.  Witnesses:  Samuel  and  Elizabeth  Brees.  This  deed,  acknowledged 
as  well  as  signed  on  the  above  date,  was  not  recorded  until  Dec.  24,  1821,  the  same  date 
for  the  recording  of  the  next  two  deeds  also. 

1809,  Jan.  4.  Quit  claim  deed  from  Joseph  Fleming  and  Lydia,  his  wife,  to  her 
brother,  Jacob  White,  all  of  Shrewsbury,  for  her  one-sixth  interest  in  the  one  hundred  and 
sixty-eight  acres  where  Joseph  White  dwelt.  This  land  is  described  as  being  bounded  on 
the  south  by  land  of  Timothy  Corlies,  southwesterly  by  the  main  road,  westerly  and 
southwesterly  by  John  White's  lot,  and  westeriy  by  Thomas  White's  land. 

181 1,  July  I.  John  D.  Goodrich,  of  New  York,  and  Sarah,  his  wife,  convey  their  one- 
sixth  interest  in  the  same  land,  describing  it  in  the  same  way,  except  that  Timothy  Cor- 
lies is  called  "deceased." 

The  following  is  an  absolutely  accurate  copy  of  a  paper  in  the  possession  of  Mrs. 
John  Livingston  Conover,  of  Wickatunk,  N.  J.,  which  was  made  March  28th,  1908.

Born  &  have  always  Lived  in  this  County  &  State:  my  Great  Grand  Father  Fleming  was  a  General  in 
the  Revolutionary  war  with*  Great*  Britam*  Flemington  Co.  Seat  of  Hunterdon  Co.  was  named  after  him 
My  Grand  Father  Jacob  Fleming  was  a  captain*  Lieutenant  1776  in  War  of  18 12  a  Farmer  in  this  Co. 
Died  in  18 19  his  brother  Stephen  was  a  Captain  my  Father  a  son  of  Jacob  Fleming  was  a  Farmer  in  this

whose  Ancestors  Came  to  this  Country  sometime*  in  1660  Farmers  in  this  Co.  &  owned  Large  tracts  of 
Land  at  &  near  Long  Branch  N.  J.  my  Mother  died  1829  Leaving  me  a  minor  age  13  years  I  am  a 
(Quaker). 

It  is  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  rightly  to  assign  the  dates  of  death  as  given  in  this 
document.  It  was  not  Joseph  White  who  died  in  18 12,  for  his  daughter  Elizabeth  Van 
Pelt  is  giving  a  deed  for  her  share  in  his  property  in  1799.  It  was  not  the  date  of  death 
of  Lydia,  the  daughter  of  Joseph,  for  she  died  in  1829.  Nor  am  I  at  all  confident  that 
the  date  18 19  belongs  with  Jacob  Fleming,  it  might  just  as  well  apply  to  Stephen  from 
its  position  in  the  manuscript.

*A  careful  and  painstaking  comparison  of  the  names  signed  as  witnesses  to  the  marriage  of  Amos  White  and  AnnVVhite 
shows,  quite  completely,  to  my  mind,  at  least,  that  Amos  White  was  the  son  of  Peter  and  Patience  White,  and  Ann  White  was 
probably  the  daughter  of  Joseph,  78,  and  Sarah  (Parker)  White.  In  this  way  the  signatures  immediately  following  those  of  the

Sarah  White,  the  mother  of  the  bride. 

Patience  White,  the  mother  of  the  groom.

White. 

I  am  unable  to  place  this  last  mentioned  John  White,  but  it  seems  very  probably 
that  he  was  identical  with  the  John  White,  "sawyer,"  mentioned  in  deeds  below. 

1800,  Apr.  10.  Simeon  Babcock  and  Jane,  his  wife,  convey  thirty-four  and  forty- 
two  hundredths  acres  of  land  on  Jumping  Brook  to  John  Lippincott,  whichwas  bounded 
on  the  south  by  lands  of  the  said  John  White,  and  on  the  east  by  lands  of  Charity,  the 
wife  of  James  Tallman,  Jr.,  and  daughter  of  Jacob  White,  (67). 

1800,  Aug.  II.  Richard  Wikoff  and  Hannah,  his  wife,  she  having  been  one  of  the 
daughters  of  Jacob  White,  (67),  late  of  Shrewsbury,  convey  seventy-five  acres  o\  land, 
to  John  White,  of  Shrewsbury,  bounded  east  by  James  Tallman,  south  by  Thomas 
White,  (63),  west  on  Jumping  Brook,  and  north  by  John  Lippincott.     This  tract  was 


300  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

the  one  referred  to  in  the  previous  deed  given  by  Simeon  Babcock,  although  of  an  earlier 
date,  and  was  deeded  by  John  White,  "sawyer,"  and  Mary,  his  wife,  to  Jonathan 
Youmans,  June3,  1813. 

John  White,  "sawyer,"  and  Mary,  his  wife,  convey,  at  this  same  time,  another 
tract  of  land  to  Jonathan  Youmans,  of  five  acres,  which  adjoined  the  first,  to  which  he 
claimed  title  by  deed  of  sale  from  Thomas  White,  dated  Mch.  20,  1797,  but  which  is  not 
on  record.  The  beginning  point  of  this  five  acre  tract  was  "in  the  Forge  Pond,  forty- 
four  links  north  of  the  middle  of  the  bridge  that  crosses  the  flood  gates;"  thence  the  line 
ran  to  "a  small  run  or  swamp  that  puts  into  Jumping  Brook,"  and  down  the  swamp  to 
the  brook.  Two  of  the  courses,  together  with  their  distances,  coincide  with  what  can  be 
found  in  a  deed  for  one  hundred  and  eighty-six  acres,  from  Thomas  Stillwell  and  Phebe, 
his  wife,  to  Abraham  Van  Dyke,  he  claiming  title  by  virtue  of  a  deed  which,  likewise,  is 
unrecorded,  from  Thomas  White,  {63).  This  tract  is  described  as  being  in  Shrewsbury, 
on  the  east  side  of  Jumping  Brook,  beginning  "about  seven  chains  below  the  saw  mill  of 
John  White's  and  Daniel  White's  on  Jumping  Brook,  at  the  mouth  of  a  small  run  that 
empties  in  said  brook,  it  being  the  corner  of  John  White's  lot  that  he  purchased  of 
Thomas  White."  It  may  be  that  Daniel  White  in  the  above  description  is  a  mistake 
for  Amos  White,  for,  once  in  the  body  of  the  deed  there  is  certainly  such  a  mistake  made, 
and  twice  the  name  Amos  is  used  properly.        ,  .       . .  . 

1804,  Mch.  31.  Peter  Knott  and  Lydia,  his  wife,  convey  fourteen  and  one-quarter 
acres  of  land,  at  Poplar  Swamp,  to  John  White  and  Jacob  White;  grantors  claiming 
title  by  virtue  of  a  deed  from  Anthony  Woolley  and  Sarah,  his  wife,  dated,  April  1790. 

1 8 12,  May  11.  John  T.  White  (112)  and  Mary,  his  wife,  convey  fifty-one  acres  of 
land  to  John  White,  "sawyer,"  which  John  White  "sawyer,"  deeds  to  Thomas  Rosell,

1816,  2mo.,  (Feb.)  28.  Will  of  Jacob  White,  of  Poplar;  proved  Jan.  31, 18 17.  Made 
mention  of  his  wife,  Mary,  and  appointed  Jacob  Woolley  and  Daniel  Williams  as  his

1832,  Mch.  5.  Mary  White,  widow  of  Jacob  White,  sells  the  balance  of  the  Knott 
tract  of  land  to  Elias  Truax,  who  had  previously  come  into  possession  of  the  part  pur- 
chased by  Hendrick  White.

312  EDWARD  WHITE,  son  of  Thomas  White,  224,  The  Lippincott  manuscript 
in  the  Historical  Society's  Library,  at  Philadelphia,  makes  the  assertion  that  Benjamin 
White,  No.  117,  had  two  sons  named  Edward  and  James.  If  such  were  the  case,  they 
do  not  join  with  the  daughters  of  Benjamin  in  conveying  property  after  the  deaths  of 
Benjamin  and  his  wife,  Abigail.  And  without  proof  to  the  contrary,  it  would  seem  as 
if  they  had  been  confused  with  two  of  the  sons  of  Thomas  White,  No.  224,  although  some 
evidence  can  Be  procured  to  sustain  the  view  that  the  Lippincott  manuscript  is  correct. 
As,  for  instance,  Mr.  James  Edward  Borden,  of  Eatontown,  N.  J.,  the  last  remaining 
Quaker  of  the  Shrewsbury  Meeting,  says  that  he  can  recollect  an  Edward  White,  who 
died  unmarried,  and  was  probably  a  nephew  of  Jacob  White,  No.  115.  While  Mr.  Isaac 
C.  Kennedy,  a  lawyer  of  Asbury  Park,  states  distinctly  that  Edward  White  was  a  son 
of  Benjamin  White,  No.  117.  Still  another  old  resident  of  that  section  of  the  country, 
"who  knew  Edward  White's  father  well,"  says  the  father's  name  was  Benjamin,  and 
that  he  owned  property  at  Deal.  He  likewise  says  that  the  James  T.  White,  No.  311, 
who  owned  the  property  on  which  Joseph  Truax  was  living  in  1902,  came  from  Burling- 
ton Co.,  (as  was  actually  the  case),  and  returned  there  after  his  father's  death;  and  that 
the  family  to  which  he  belonged  was  a  branch  of  the  Deal  family. 

1828,  July  4.  Edward  White,  of  Hanover  township,  Burlington  Co.,  deeds  to 
James  T.  White,  without  giving  any  full  description,  "all  my  share  in  a  lot  of  land  in 
Shrewsbury  township,  that  belonged  formerly  to  my  father  Thomas,  deceased." 

1836,  Sep.  I.  Edward  White  conveys  to  John  Ireland  seventeen  acres  of  land  ad- 
joining Jacob  White,  the  Ocean,  Jacob  Corlies  and  Codies  Pond. 

1836,  Oct.  22.  Edward  White  conveys  to  William  Wright,  three  acres  of  woodland, 
adjoining  the  County  Poor  House  land,  near  Shark  River. 

1838,  Jan.  23.  Edward  White  conveys  to  William  White  nine  acres  that  adjoined 
the  last  mentioned  tract  of  woodland.

1  Internal  evidence,  in  the  will  of  Robert  White,  seems  to  be  sufficient  to  assure  us 
that  he  was  the  father  of  the  Robert  White,  2,  who  went  to  Monmouth  County.  And 
from  the  occurrence  of  the  name  of  Peter  among  his  sons,  it  has  been  thought  that  he  was 
closely  related  to  the  Peter  and  Thomas  White,  brothers,  whose  descendants  are  enumer- 
ated in  the  foregoing  pages. 

All  the  knowledge  I  have  been  able  to  obtain  of  him  is  contained  in  the  record  of  his 
will,  as  printed  by  the  New  York  Historical  Society,  Volume  i,Page  283. 

1696/7,  Feb.  2.  Will  of  Robert  White,  Sr.,  of  New  York,  joiner,  mentioned: 
eldest  son,  Robert  White;  sons,  Peter  and  John,  each  to  have  one-half  his  working  tools.     Executors: 
wife,  Elizabeth,  and  Mr.  William  Bickley,  merchant. 

Major  Bickley,  in  his  will,  dated  Aug.  27,  1716,  and  proved  June  17,  1724,  refers  to 
his  wife,  Elizabeth,  and  leaves  one-half  of  his  New  Jersey  property  to  Elizabeth  White, 
Jr.,  "whom  my  wife  hath  brought  up  and  will  continue  with  us."

1684/5,  Feb.  4.  The  inventory  of  the  estate  of  Thomas  White,  of  Monmouth  Co., 
shows  his  estate  as  a  debtor  to  Robert  White  as  of  this  date,  the  debt  having  been  paid 
sometime  between  1684  and  1686,  by  Samuel  White,  the  son  and  administrator  of 
Thomas.  Possibly  this  was  Robert  White,  i,  but  it  would  seem  more  likely  to  have 
been  his  son,  as  he  is  known  to  have  taken  a  wife  in  Monmouth  County. 


312  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

The  Reformed  Dutch  Church  records,  of  New  York  City,  state  that: 

Robert  White,  young  man,  of  London,  England,  married,  Nov.  28,  1690  Jacomyntje  Van  RoUegon, 
young  maiden,  of  New  York;  and  also  that  their  child  Elizabeth,  was  baptised  July  i,  1691. 

The  New  Jersey  Historical  Society  have,  in  their  Library,  at  Newark,  as  presented 
to  them  by  Charles  S.  Boggs,  of  the  United  States  Navy,  the  original  license  issued  for 
the  marriage  of  this  Robert  White  to  his  second  wife,  which  differs  in  a  remarkable  way 
from  the  record  of  the  marriage  itself.     The  license  has  the  names : 

Robert  White,  "joyner,"  of  New  York,  and  Frances  Stanley,  of  Province  of  East  Jersey,  have  license 
dated  Aug.  29, 1694. 

In  Book  "B"  of  the  record  of  Deeds  at  Freehold,  N.  J.,  is  to  be  found  the  following: 

"These  are  to  certifie  all  whom  it  may  concern,  that  on  this  the  last  day  of  August,  Anno  one  thous- 
and six  hundred  ninety  and  four,  Robert  White,  of  the  city  of  New  York,  and  Frances  Wales,*  of  the 
Province  aforesaid,  was  lawfully  Joyned  in  holy-Wedlock,  and  this  to  be  their  sufficient  Testimonial]. 
Given  from  under  my  hand  at  Tinton  Manors  this  day  and  date  hereof.     Signed        L.  Morris." 

1694,  the  last  day  of  August  1694,  at  Trenton  Manor,  Mary  White  married  to  John 
French.  The  date  for  this  marriage  is  given  as  Oct.  21,  1694,  in  the  Supplementary  List 
of  Marriage  Licenses,  issued  by  the  State  Library  Bulletin,  in  April,  1898.  But  the 
earlier  date,  occurring  on  the  same  day  and  at  the  same  place  as  when  Robert  White 
was  married,  is  found  on  the  records  at  Freehold. 

1695,  July  21.  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  "Robert  White  and  Frankje  Sandery,"  bap- 
tised.    Tryntje  RoUegon  as  a  witness. 

1697,  Apr.  25.  The  Reformed  Dutch  Church  of  New  York  gives  the  record  of  the 
baptism  of  Jaquemyntje  White,  daughter  of  Francina  Standing,  with  Bartholomeus  La 
Roux**  and  Tryntje  RoUegon  as  witnesses.

13  Stanley   White 


•There  is  no  doubt  that  the  wife  of  Robert  White,  (2),  was  Frances  Stanley,  and  not  Frances  Wales;  of  this  there  is  a  super- 
abundance of  proof.  It  has  been  suggested  that  the  Monmouth  Co.  record  of  this  marriage  was  meant  to  read  Frances  Stanley,  of 
Wales.  Though  we  have  some  knowledge  of  the  Stanleys  in  Monmouth  Co.,  there  is  no  proof  of  their  Welsh  origin,  but  to  the 
contrary,  the  name,  Stanley,  is  probably  English. 

**A  baptism  of  Nov.  i,  1691,  shows  that  Bartholomew  La  Roux  married  Gertrude  Van  RoUegon.

13  STANLEY  WHITE,  son  of  Robert  White,  2.  But  very  little  evidence  is 
afforded  for  the  existence  of  Stanley  White  and  his  place  here  in  this  pedigree.  His  name 
alone  is  sufficient  to  show  his  parentage.  And  his  signature  has  been  found  upon  receipts 
in  the  possession  of  the  late  James  Steen,  Esq.,  of  Eatontown,  N.  J.,  of  about  1730,  one 
being  for  the  year  173 1,  whereon  the  name  of  Daniel  Lippincott  also  appears,  who  was, 
I  surmise,  his  brother-in-law.  It  was  the  mother  of  this  Daniel  Lippincott  who  refers 
to  her  grandchildren  in  her  will  as  Vincent  and  George  White.

Preserve  Lippincott,  marrying  as  his  second  wife,  Sep.  19,  1739,  William  Brinley.  In 
this  will  she  refers  to: 

my  grandsons,  Vincent  and  George  White,  as  not  yet  twenty-one  years  of  age,  and  left  to  them  all 
money  due  me  from  Thomas  Holmes  on  his  bond,  and  also  the  interest  of  the  same.  If  they  both  died 
the  above  legacy  was  to  go  to  the  children  of  my  son,  Daniel  Lippincott;  Vincent  White  was  to  have  a 
chest  marked  "V.W.";  to  grand-daughters,  Elisab"".  Audrea  and  Anne  Lippincott,  the  clothes- that  I  had

39  PHILIP  WHITE,  son  of  Peter  White,  21.  Killed  in  the  War  of  the  Revolu- 
tion, Mch.  30,  1782,  by  a  party  of  the  British  Light  Horse  Cavalry.     Married,  first,

Mr.  Irons,  and  third,  Mr.  Devan. 

Alfred  Smith,  a  great-grandson  of  Jane  Miers,  by  her  third  marriage,  had  in  his 
possession,  in  1882,  the  certificate  of  her  marriage  to  Philip  White,  which  he  had  found 
among  his  father's  papers.     It  reads  as  follows: 

"Jane  Myer  was  born  the  fourteenth  Day  of  December  in  the  year  1775- " 

"This  may  Certifie  all  such  as  it  may  Concern  that  Philip  White  &  Jane  Miers  have  been  Lafully 
loined  in  holy  Matrimony  by  me  October  y*  29  1773 

(Signed)     Charles  Macknight." 

The  Reverend  Charles  Mac  Knight  was  pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  in 


322  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

Shrewsbury,  about  the  time  of  this  marriage.  But  the  early  records  of  that  Church 
have  been  destroyed  or  lost  for  many  years. 

Mr.  Smith  had  also  in  his  possession  a  paper  that  gave  the  dates  of  birth  of  the  two 
children  of  Philip  White,  as  given  beyond. 

1782,  Apr.  20.  Letters  of  administration  on  the  estate  of  Philip  White,  of  New 
York,  joiner,  who  died  intestate,  granted  to  his  brother,  William  White. 

New  York  Historical  Society,  Wills,  Vol.  9,  page  324. 

According  to  Sabine's  History  of  the  Loyalists,  George  Taylor  Dennison,  Jr.,  tried 
to  make  Philip  White  to  have  been  a  son  of  Amos  (No.  25)  and  Esther  (Tilton-Borden) 
White.  But  there  is  not  a  particle  of  evidence  to  show  that  this  couple  had  any  child 
by  what  was  a  second  marriage  on  the  part  of  each  of  them.  And  other  reasons  showing 
Mr.  Dennison's  mistake  have  been  set  forth  by  the  Reverend  William  White  Hance  in 
an  article  he  published  in  the  New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Record,  for  July, 
1905. 

In  hunting  over  some  old  newspapers  for  the  time,  the  following  was  obtained  from 
a  copy  of  the  Pennsylvania  Journal,  of  the  date  of  May  i,  1782: 

"The  circumstances  attending  the  death  of  the  above  mentioned  Philip  White  were  as  follows:  On 
Saturday  the  30th  of  March  last,  he  was  surprised  by  a  party  of  our  people,  and  after  he  had  laid  down  his 
arms,  in  token  of  surrendering  himself  a  prisoner,  he  again  took  up  his  musket  and  killed  a  son  of  Col. 
Hendrickson:  he  was  however  taken  by  our  light  horse,  and  on  his  way  from  Colt's  Neck  to  Freehold, 
where  they  were  conducting  him,  he  again  attempted  to  make  his  escape  from  the  guard,  who  called  on 
him  several  times  to  surrender,  but  he  continued  running,  often  crossed  and  recrossed  by  the  light  horse, 
and  desired  to  stop,  and  finally,  when  leaping  into  a  bog,  impassable  by  the  horse,  he  received  a  stroke 
in  the  head  by  a  sword,  which  killed  him  instantly.  The  above  facts  have  not  only  been  proved  by  the 
affidavits  of  our  friends  who  were  present,  but  by  the  voluntary  and  candid  testimony  of  one  Aaron 
White,  who  was  taken  prisoner  with  the  said  Philip." 

From  Library  of  Pennsylvania  Historical  Society,  in  Philadelphia.  Abstracts  of 
letters  from  George  Taylor  Dennison  to  Jas.  S.  Lippincott. 

February  21,  1880. 
"I  have  gathered  some  further  information  since  I  wrote  you  last From  an  old  draft  of  a  peti- 
tion to  the  Lieut.  Gov.  of  Canada,  I  find  that  Mrs.  Lippincott's  father  was  a  magistrate  before  the  war, 

and  died  before  the  war  commenced I  may  say  that  Mrs.  Lippincott  was  a  near  relative  of  Philip 

White  and  Alexander  White  for  we  have  an  old  book  in  our  family  which  belonged  to  Alexander  White 
brother  of  Philip  we  believe — but  the  tradition  in  our  family  is  that  Philip  White  was  a  near  relative  of 
Captain  or  Mrs.  Lippincott — a  cousin  or  step  brother — perhaps  this  may  aid  you  somewhat. 

I  have  unearthed  two  old  letters  from  Mrs.  Lippincott  to  her  husband  when  he  was  in  England  in 

1787  and  1788.  From  these  letters  it  appears  without  doubt  that  they  came  from  Shrewsbury.  Mrs. 
Lippincott  speaks  of  having  received  two  letters  from  Shrewsbury,  one  from  Sally  Wardell  and  one  from 
Sally  De  bow — both  asking  her  to  spend  the  winter  with  them — She  also  refers  to  one  J.  Knight  and  also 
of  Joseph  Parker  who  had  gone  to  Shrewsbury  to  spend  the  winter  and  who  had  promised  Mrs.  Lippincott 
to  call  upon  her  friends  there.     She  also  appears  to  have  had  a  sister  in  Shrewsbury. 

(Signed)     George  T.  Denison." 

8th  May,  1880. 

"My  cousin  Richard  Lippincott  Dennison  has  the  old  family  Bible  which  belonged  to  the  Captain 
— I  think  in  fact  that  the  Bible  was  Mrs.  Lippincott's.  Brittain  Woolley  was  nearly  related  to  us.  Also 
a  Mrs.  Thompson  who  married  a  Captain  Van  Allen  who  used  to  run  a  Lake  Erie  Steamboat.  Her 
brother  Mr.  Ben  Thompson,  of  St.  Paul,  Minnesota,  is  also  a  near  relative. 

In  1867  I  met  a  Mr.  Lippincott  [this  must  have  been  Charles  A.  Lippincott,  son  of  Amelia,  who  died 
very  aged]  who^  told  me  he  had  often  heard  his  mother  speaking  of  Captain  Lippincott.  I  afterwards 
saw  his  mother's  tombstone  in  Shrewsbury  Churchyard  which  states  that  she  died  about  thirty  years 
ago  aged  over  90  years  old."

Fighting  on  the  Loyalist  side  during  the  Revolutionary  War,  he  afterwards  went  to 
Canada  and  settled  at  what  is  now  St,  John,  New  Brunswick,  then  called  Parr  Town. 

In  1825,  William  and  John  White,  as  executors  of  "their  brother"  John's  estate, 
obtained  order  from  the  Court  in  Monmouth  Co.,  to  sell  some  of  his  real  estate  in  order 
to  pay  his  debts. 

It  is  not  known  who  were  the  parents  of  Deborah  Tilton,  his  wife,  but  some  things 
would  seem  to  indicate  that  she  was  a  sister  of  the  brothers,  John  and  Clayton  Tilton, 
Loyalists,  also  of  New  Brunswick,  Canada.

I  believe  that  the  following  Robert  White  was  a  son  of  Robert  White,  10,  and  grand- 
son of  Robert  White,  2,  and  Frances  (Stanley),  his  wife.  But  I  have  nothing  to  show 
in  corroboration;  and  I  have  also  under  the  miscellaneous  notes  suggested  that  Robert, 
the  son  of  Robert  White,  10,  was  the  father  of  another  group  of  children.  Which  of 
these  deductions  is  correct  it  is  impossible  to  tell. 

1  ROBERT  WHITE  married  Margaret,  daughter  of  Hugh  and  Catharine  (Tilton) 
Hartshorne.     He  was  alive  Oct.  10,  1773,  when  his  son,  Hartshorne,  made  his  will. 

173 1,  Sep.  2.  New  Jersey  Archives,  Vol.  XI,  page  257,  states  that  an  apprentice

a  legacy  of  £50.,  to  his  daughter,  Margaret,  the  wife  of  Robert  White. 

1747,  5mo.,  10.  A  Robert  White  died,  and  was  buried  in  the  Shrewsbury  Quaker 
Burying  ground. 

1749,  Nov.  II.  A  Robert  White,  "cooper,"  is  surety  on  the  marriage  license  bond 
of  Francis  White,  "weaver,"  with  Elizabeth  Lippincott,  spinster. 

1750,  June  8.  Robert  White  recorded  the  ear  mark  that  was  formerly  Hugh  Hart- 
shorne's. 

1754,  July  3.  Fifty-two  acres  and  a  half,  strict  measure,  surveyed  for  Robert  White,

If  it  could  be  established  that  Robert  White,  10,  son  of  Robert  White,  2,  son  of 
Robert  White  (i),  of  the  will  dated  Feb.  2,  1696/7,  had  a  son  Robert,  which  I  am  dis- 
posed to  infer,  but  have  not  yet  been  able  to  prove,  he  would  conform  to  the  Robert 
White,  who  was  the  father  of  the  children  mentioned  in  the  annexed  affidavit,  on  record 
at  Freehold,  in  Book  "R."  of  Deeds,  page  97. 

Dated  June  14,  1806,  it  reads  as  follows: — 

Certificate  of  James  Hankinson,  Kenneth  Hankinson,  and  Joseph  Thompson,  con- 
cerning the  family  of  Robert  White,  deceased. 

Whereas  information  has  been  received  of  the  decease  of  James  White,  formerly  of  New  Jersey  but 
late  of  North  Carolina,  that  said  James  White  devised  his  estate  to  William  McMurray,  of  New  Jersey, 
and  to  his  heirs  on  the  body  of  Elizabeth  White,  sister  to  the  said  James  White  and  wife*  to  said  William 
McMurray,  and  whereas  both  William  and  Elizabeth  McMurray  died  leaving  no  issue,  we  the  sub- 
scribers or  the  township  of  Lower  Freehold,  who  are  some  of  the  oldest  settlers  of  said  place  now  living, 
have  been  applied  to  by  Robert  White,  a  brother  of  said  James,  for  a  certificate  relative  to  his  father's 
family  with  whom  we  were  acquainted,  do  hereby  certify  that  said  Robert  is  eldest  son  of  Robert  White, 
deceased,  who  had  several  children,  to  wit,  Robert,  John,  Bryant,  William,  James,  Elizabeth  and  Catha- 
rine White,  and  that  we  believe  the  said  Robert  White  to  be  at  this  time  the  only  survivor  of  the  said 
family,  also  that  he  is  the  sole  heir  at  law  to  the  estate  of  aforesaid  brother  James  White. 

A  family  that  has  been  called  at  times  the  "Lakewood"  Whites  is  descended  from

The  following  record  was  written  by  Benjamin  White,  98,  about  the  year  1825,  and 
was  copied  for  Mrs.  George  Hance,  in  October,  1865,  by  Henry  F.  Spaulding,  from  which 
copy  a  transcription  was  taken,  in  August,  1899,  ^"d  this  is  a  copy  of  such  transcription. 
Since  it  was  taken  both  the  original  and  the  copy  have  disappeared,  and,  on  inquiry 
being  made  for  the  transcription  where  it  was  supposed  to  be,  that  also  was  found  to 
have  followed  suit  and  become  invisible. 

Benjamin  White  lived  in  what  is  now  the  Presbyterian  parsonage,  in  Shrewsbury, 
a  large  part  of  which  he  built,  as  is  set  forth  in  these  papers.  He  was  a  Quaker,  and  was 
familiarly  known  as  "Book  Muslin  Bennie."  The  record  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths, 
subsequent  to  his  own  death,  were  added,  it  is  believed,  by  Mr.  Spaulding,  from  his 
own  memoranda. 

A  Memorial  and  Record  of  the  Life  of 

BENJAMIN  WHITE, 

from  His  Childhood  to  Old  Age,  Written 

BY  Himself. 

Shrewsbury,  N.  J. 

I  have  been  thinking  for  some  time  of  leaving  for  my  children,  a  short  sketch  of  my  life  from  early 
youth  until  the  evening  of  my  life.    That  they  may  see  the  great  goodness  of  a  kind  providence  and  how 


WHITE  OF  NEW  JERSEY  381 


mo.  I755-  i^iy  ratner  oeorge  vvnue  son  or  i  nomas  anu  \^nnstian  vvnite,  my  Mother  Anna  dauahter  of 
John  Lippincott  she  dying  when  I  was  young,  I  have  but  a  slight  remembrance  of  her.  At  her  death  she 
left  in  my  father's  care  (7)  seven  children  the  youngest  twins:  Viz.,  John,  Sarah,  Thomas,  Robert  Benja- 
min, Joseph  and  William.  The  last  two  were  about  nine  months  old.  My  father  had  a  great  care  on  his 
hands  to  provide  for  this  family  of  small  children.  He  lived  a  widower  the  remainder  of  his  life.  Mv 
dear  father  met  with  a  serious  accident,  which  I  think  shortened  his  life.  He  went  up  in  the  store  house 
chamber  for  something  and  returning  he  fell  from  the  top  step  in  the  stairs  to  the  bottom  across  a  half- 
bushel  which  hurt  him  very  much  from  which  he  never  recovered.  When  he  was  dying  he  requested  that 
all  his  children  should  be  at  his  bedside,  he  gave  us  all  good  advice  taking  one  at  a  time  by  the  hand, 
beginning  at  the  eldest  and  so  on  down  to  the  youngest.  I  can  remember  some  of  his  words  while  hold 
of  my  hand — Benjamin,  he  said,  farewell — be  a  good  boy  and  do  not  run  about  on  first  days.  We  all 
then  went  out  of  the  room  weeping  in  tears  for  our  dear  father.  My  aunt  informed  me  since  that  he 
requested  them  not  to  weep  for  him  for  he  was  going  to  a  place  of  rest  he  said  he  saw  the  angels  around 
him  as  white  as  snow  and  I  believe  he  is  now  in  the  realms  of  bliss  I  hope  I  may  be  prepared  to  meet  him. 
We  were  now  left  without  either  father  or  mother  our  things  were  sold  at  Vendue  which  last  three  days. 
I  then  went  to  live  with  my  uncle  John  White,  and  went  to  school  a  short  time  after  which  I  worked  on 
the  farm  for  my  uncle  Thomas  White  where  I  remained  till  I  went  to  learn  the  tailors  trade  of  Abel  Middle- 
ton,  Crosswicks.  He  also  kept  a  store  and  made  too  free  use  of  ardent  spirits  which  made  him  neglect 
both  trade  and  store.  I  had  to  come  once  a  year  to  see  my  friends  in  Shrewsbury.  My  time  was  most  of 
it  spent  in  working  on  his  farm  and  I  had  a  small  prospect  of  learning  my  trade.  After  a  while  I  went  to 
work  with  Jacob  Cook  to  obtain  an  insight  of  the  tailoring  business.  After  that  I  applied  to  Edward 
Weaver  of  Jacob  Town,  and  bound  myself  by  an  Indenture  until  I  was  twenty  one  years  of  age.  I 
remained  with  him  untill  he  was  taken  sick  with  consumption  which  was  some  years — he  went  to  live  with 
his  sister  at  Colestown,  and  I  went  at  journey  work  with  Thomas  Bliss  of  Bordentown.  I  afterwards 
heard  that  my  master  was  near  the  close  of  life,  I  went  to  him  at  Jacobstown,  and  found  the  price  he  asked 
for  my  time.  I  took  the  money  I  had  earned  at  Bordentown  and  of  a  friend,  gave  my  note  for  the  balance 
and  paid  my  master  for  my  time.  I  then  returned  went  to  work  earned  anough  to  pay  off  my  note  and 
then  worked  with  Levi  Budd  at  the  new  Miles  until  I  had  an  offer  to  go  to,  Philadelphia  where  I  remained 
for  some  time — until  I  was  taken  very  sick  and  had  to  leave  the  city  and  returned  to  West  Jersey,  and 
boarded  with  my  old  mistress  Polly  Middleton,  where  I  remained  for  some  time  in  very  poor  health — 
was  reduced  very  low,  My  friends  thought  dropsy  or  consumption  would  be  my  end.  I  was  recommended 
to  drink  cheese  whey,  which  I  did  and  made  the  Cheese  curd  my  diet.  In  a  short  time  thereafter  through 
the  kind  providence  of  God  my  health  returned.  After  which  I  returned  to  Philadelphia,  and  then  went 
to  New  York  to  see  my  brothers  John  and  Robert.  I  also  thought  I  would  visit  my  relatives  and  friends 
in  Shrewsbury.  I  came  on  a  boat  with  Capt.  Wardell  and  Slocum,  in  company  with  Peter  Parker  old 
Joseph  Allen  and  Thomas  Seebrook  the  wind  north  east  and  snowed  a  little  the  sea  rolled  heavily  and 
one  time  we  thought  we  shold  all  be  lost,  after  much  labor  we  passed  safely  into  the  River  I  have  often 
admired  the  goodness  of  a  kind  Providence — our  lives  from  a  watery  grave — the  night  was  dark  and  there 
was  ice  in  the  river  and  with  much  labor  we  broke  our  way  through  the  ice  until  we  reached  the  shore. 
Soon  after  that  I  was  gunning  after  ducks  down  the  river  in  company  with  a  boy  a  very  cold  day  our  boat 
drifted  from  us  we  were  left  on  the  sedges  and  came  near  perishmg  with  cold.  After  my  visit  m  Shrews- 
bury I  returned  to  Philadelphia  and  worked  at  my  trade  till  the  sound  of  war.  I  then  went  to  New 
York  and  worked  Journey  work  with  my  brother  Robert.  We  had  a  room  and  kept  Batchelor's  hall, 
our  furniture  was  a  bed,  chest,  1  cups  and  2  spoons,  our  provisions  we  kept  in  the  chest.  Brother  Robert 
was  cook  and  I  went  to  market  we  made  ourselves  as  happy  as  we  could  we  had  to  depend  on  our  labor 
for  our  living  and  to  save  time  he  done  the  cooking  nights,  ne  met  with  a  misfortune  spraint  his  ankle  and 
had  to  lay  up  for  some  time — how  long  we  might  have  continued  in  this  way  is  uncertain  if  the  war  had 
not  progressed  as  I  shall  mention  hereafter.  As  I  lay  in  bed  one  night  I  heard  the  firing  of  large  guns.  I 
immediately  arose  and  went  into  the  city  and  found  the  people  in  great  confusion,  drums  beat  to  Arms. 
The  ship,  Asia  was  laying  off  in  the  river  firing  upon  the  town.  The  people  were  removing  the  large  guns 
from  the  Battery  and  I  had  hold  and  helped  move  them  nothing  now  but  war  preparations  going  on  some 
moved  out  of  town,  business  was  on  a  ciecline,  we  soon  broke  up  housekeeping  and  I  took  the  stage  for 
Crosswicks  boarded  with  my  old  mistress  and  followed  my  trade.  Being  often  fined  for  not  doing  military 
duty  I  left  and  came  to  Shrewsbury,  and  went  to  making  salt  by  boiling  seawater — did  not  answer— I 
returned  to  West  Jersey  continued  my  trade  until  the  battle  of  Trenton  when  Gen.  Washington  with  his 
army  crossed  the  Delaware  River,  took  the  Hessians  at  the  battle  of  Princeton,  Gen.  Putnam  and  Mifflin's 


382  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

head-quarters  was  with  my  old  mistress  where  I  boarded  and  every  one  must  do  something  either  go  the 
British,  to  Jaile,  or  join  the  American  Army.  They  were  in  want  of  forages  for  their  horses  and  wanted 
some  one  well  acquainted  with  the  farmers,  where  the  British  had  not  been.  I  told  Gen.  Putnam,  if  he 
would  give  from  under  his  hand  that  the  teams  should  not  be  prized,  I  would  procure  them  plenty,  which 
he  did  and  I  bought  hay,  corn,  cheese,  &c.  and  sold  it  to  the  Army  so  when  the  Army  moved  to  Princeton 
I  was  appointed  Wagon  Master,  and  remained  with  the  Army  for  some  time,  I  drew  Captain's  pay  had 
my  horse  saddled  always  ready  for  an  alarm  or  marching  orders.  Everey  morning  I  hacl  all  the  brigade 
of  Wagons  drove  up,  and  sent  some  for  wood,  some  for  hay,  gram  &c.  The  carters  must  have  my  written 
order  or  they  could  not  obtain  either  provisions  for  themselves  or  feed  for  their  horses.  While  in  the 
army  I  tried  to  be  useful  both  to  the  Army  and  to  the  farmers  in  returning  property  unlawfully  taken, 
being  at  Stoney  Brook  Samuel  Worth  informed  me  that  his  team  had  been  prized  and  he  never  expected 
to  see  it  again  had  been  gone  some  rime  in  the  way  for  Morristown.  I  obtained  the  team  and  sent  it  to 
the  owner.  I  also  helped  Isaac  Field  obtain  his  horse.  I  went  with  him  from  Bristol  to  Burlington  with 
a  military  guard.  None  could  cross  the  ferry  unless  in  the  service  of  the  Army  neither  the  wagon  or  horse 
could  have  been  obtained  if  I  had  not  been  respected  by  the  officers  in  the  Army.  Samuel  Worth  above 
menrioned  was  a  brother  to  Mary  Middleton  my  old  mistress.  As  soon  as  I  could  I  left  the  Army,  and 
presented  my  cerrificate  for  services  as  Wagon  Master  in  the  Army,  and  I  drew  Continental  Money. 
After  a  short  rime  I  returned  to  my  native  soil,  Shrewsbury,  with  but  little  money  as  to  value,  it  being 
Continental  and  old  Jersey  money.  I  went  to  work  at  my  trade.  My  brother  Robert  worked  at  disrilJing 
in  Partnership  with  Robert  Bown.  After  some  time  a  French  fleet  came  to  anchor  oflr  Jumping  Point 
and  sent  their  boats  ashore  for  water.  They  were  cut  off  by  the  British  fleet  from  obtaining  water  at  the 
watering  places.  I  assisted  them  in  carting  their  empty  casks  filling  them  and  returning  them  through 
the  surf  to  the  boats.  After  the  fleet  had  sailed  a  large  drove  of  cattle  arrived  for  their  use,  but  as  they 
had  sailed  I  went  with  the  drove  to  Gen.  Maxwell's  Army  then  laying  at  Spottswood.  Col.  White's 
troop  of  horse  and  Mai.  Lee  were  then  at  Brown  Brook  they  had  taken  the  horse  "Heron"  then  owned  by 
R.  Bown  and  rny  uncle  Thomas  White.  I  went  for  the  horses  "Heron"  and  one  for  Nathan  Justious — 
his  answer  was  T.  White  my  uncle  was  an  old  Tory  and  would  not  let  me  have  him  he  delivered  up  Sfathan 
Justious  horse  which  I  led  home  to  his  owner.  The  other  after  sometime  was  returned  and  my  brother 
Robert  with  myself  purchased  a  >^  of  a  share  for  £46  and  sold  the  same  to  my  uncle  T.  White  and  never 
received  a  penny  from  him  or  from  his  estate.  This  is  the  end  of  old  "Heron'  so  to  return  to  my  former 
memory  and  trials  in  the  war.  I  returned  to  my  trade.  I  was  seldom  idle,  strove  to  make  a  living  and 
lay  up  all  I  could  while  I  had  health.  Robert  Bowne  proposed  to  my  brother  Robert  that  we  should  keep 
a  small  store,  and  he  would  assist  us.  We  then  hired  Martin  Miars  wife  to  keep  house  for  us.  We  began 
with  ]^  lb.  of  butter,  i  lb.  Pork  and  a  few  potatoes.  We  had  no  china,  but  it  was  much  better  than  being 
in  the  army,  still  we  were  not  far  from  them.  We  were  so  near  the  line,  that  in  the  fore  part  of  the  night 
we  had  British  and  Refugees,  in  the  morning  the  American  troops.  My  brother  was  called  a  Kings  man 
or  Refugee  and  myself  a  Rebel  and  friend  to  Jersey  troops.  Colonel  Ford  and  Lee  came.  We  had  to 
find  quarters  for  the  army.  The  dwellings  for  some  distance  around  were  occupied  by  soldiers.  We  gave 
up  our  kitchen  and  cellar.  Sometimes  after  this  we  commenced  our  store,  began  with  a  little  tea,  Barrel 
of  sugar,  papers,  a  pr.  small  scales  with  other  small  articles  and  i  hhd.  Rum.  Apple  spirit  we  had  plenty 
as  we  carried  on  the  distilling  business  at  that  time.  We  had  gone  on  in  this  way  but  a  short  time  when 
a  large  party  of  British  and  Refugees  came  off  in  order  to  surprise  and  take  Col.  Ford,  with  all  his  troops 
but  they  were  informed  just  in  time  so  as  the  rear  of  our  troops  passed  the  lanes  by  Wardells  or  where 
Tilee  Williams  now  resides  the  whole  of  the  British  forces  came  on  their  rear  shot  and  chased  them  to 
the  Falls,  but  being  so  enraged  that  they  had  lost  their  prey  that  they  set  fire  to  the  houses  and  burned 
many  of  them  and  plundered  on  their  return.  I  hid  most  of  our  dry  goods  but  they  broke  open  the 
store,  robbed  us  of  what  they  could,  filled  their  canteens  with  spirits  and  let  it  run  to  waste.  My  1)rother 
was  from  home.  They  had  my  mare  out  and  going  off  with  her.  I  ran  and  got  hold  of  her  and  while 
I  was  tusling  with  the  soldier  others  were  plundering  my  house,  the  guns  left  by  our  troops  were  broken 
across  the  fence.  They  seemed  like  wild  or  mad  men.  I  kept  hold  of  my  mare  until  some  of  the  Amer- 
ican troops  who  was  in  persute  fired  at  them  he  then  left  me  and  run  across  the  graveyard,  so  I  saved  my 
mare  and  some  of  the  plunder.  I  had  often  to  go  to  Philadelphia  to  buy  goods.  My  brother  was  not 
acquainted,  and  I  had  that  to  do,  but  when  he  went  out  to  work  at  his  trade,  I  staid  at  home  to  watch 
and  when  I  went  he  did  the  same,  so  we  always  kept  busy  trying  to  make  a  living,  war  appeared  all 
around  us— we  were  constantly  in  danger— near  the  line— between  two  fires— through  favor  we  were 
preserved.  We  started  very  early  one  morning  to  gunning  at  Black  Point,  Judiah  Allen's  brother  and 
Brother  Robert  the  weather  was  very  cold.  I  shot  some  fowl  and  in  going  for  it  on  the  ice  I  broke  through 
—lost  my  gun  in  the  water  and  came  near  drownding.     I  was  expecting  every  moment  to  sink  under  the 


WTilTE  OF  NEW  JERSEY  383 

ice,  my  mind  being  turned  unto  the  Lord,  I  said  "O  Lord  I  am  now  coming  unto  thee — do  thou  have  mercy 
on  my  poor  soul"  at  last  having  got  my  arms  on  the  ice  and  with  my  feet  as  if  swimming  brought  me 
to  the  top  of  the  water  and  with  great  effort  I  gradually  craled  on  the  ice,  and  as  I  moved  I  said,  am  I 
yet  alive,  and  I  praised  my  Maker  for  deliverance.  John  Hartshorne  had  been  an  eye  witness  to  all  my 
struggles  in  the  water,  but  dared  not  come  to  me  until  I  was  on  the  strong  ice,  he  then  gave  me  his  arm 
and  helped  me  to  Widow  Marshes  tavern  at  Black  Point.  They  put  me  to  bed,  I  felt  as  if  I  should  per- 
ish with  the  cold,  when  the  frost  began  to  come  out  of  me  it  resembled  the  steam  from  a  boiling  pot.  In 
the  evening  I  was  conveyed  home  my  agitation  was  so  great  that  I  found  but  little  sleep  my  thoughts 
were  on  so  great  deliverance  and  at  this  time  when  I  pen  these  lines  I  can  say  that  I  feel  that  I  am  a 
monument  of  his  Mercies,  and  have  great  cause  to  bless  His  dear  name  for  all  his  favors.  The  skin  of 
my  hands  all  pealed  off  like  a  potatoe,  my  gun  was  fished  up  with  oyster  tongs.  As  soon  as  I  was  able 
I  started  for  Philadelphia  for  goods  in  a  sleigh,  at  Burlington  we  went  on  the  ice  on  the  river  to  the  city 
and  back  again  which  was  never  done  before  nor  since  to  my  memory — the  winter  was  very  severe.  The 
ground  froze  to  great  depth.  Joseph  Lippencott  died  that  winter  and  in  digging  his  grave  it  was  all 
frozen  ground.  We  kept  our  store  going  for  some  time  and  then  my  brother  married  William  Crawford's 
daughter,  then  our  housekeeper  left  and  we  were  much  better  suited.  I  was  very  fond  of  gunning  after 
water  fowl.  I  went  to  Little  Silver  and  put  my  gun  in  the  boat  with  the  muzzle  toward  me,  there  was 
ice  in  the  boat,  the  gun  slipped,  the  lock  struck  the  timbers  and  she  went  oflF  the  whole  load  passed  through 
the  bow  of  the  boat,  I  stood  by  the  side  of  the  boat  near  the  bow,  this  I  saw  was  another  great  deliverance, 
and  I  could  say  what  shall  I  render  unto  the  Lord  for  so  many  favors  and  benefits.  We  rented  the  house 
we  lived  in  and  kept  store  in  the  front  part,  afterwards  we  bought  it  of  John  Corlies  and  paid  the  cash 
down,  we  bought  it  in  partnership.  It  was  the  lot  where  I  now  live,  we  strove  for  an  honest  living  and 
we  had  our  health  and  seemed  to  be  blessed.  Sometime  after  I  married  Mary  Morris,  the  war  srill  con- 
tinued. We  lived  in  a  small  way  in  a  small  house  which  I  bought  of  my  wifes  brother  John  Morris. 
Sometimes  after  my  brother  Robert  told  me  that  he  must  move.  I  found  that  he  was  in  earnest.  I 
told  my  wife  that  we  must  move  in  as  I  could  not  leave  the  store.  Brother  R.  moved  where  he  now 
lives — our  families  increasing  we  divided  the  household  goods,  and  began  to  charge  each  other  with  what 
we  took  out  of  the  store  before  this  we  each  had  out  of  the  store  without  charge  for  many  years.  We 
have  now  obtained  our  Independence.  War  is  at  an  end.  We  have  agreed  to  give  Quit  Claim  to  each 
other,  and  I  pay  him  the  difference  I  took  the  lot  in  Shrewsbury  town,  and  he  the  one  where  he  now 
lives — through  much  hard  work  both  my  wife  and  myself  we  build  a  new  home.  My  cellar  is  32  x  42 
and  7  feet  deep.  I  asked  the  mason  how  many  stone  he  would  want  for  the  cellar  wall  he  said  fill  the 
hole  full  just  leave  room  enough  for  him  to  stand.  I  worked  very  hard  getting  the  material  for  my 
cellar.  The  free  stone  in  front  came  from  Newark.  The  day  I  raised  my  house  was  a  busy  day.  I 
had  made  up  my  mind  not  to  have  any  rum,  or  spirits  of  any  kind  on  the  day  of  raising,  although  the 
expense  was  greater.  I  had  a  barrel  of  good  beer  with  plenty  of  good  cider  and  wine  and  eggs  in  the 
morning — it  was  raised  without  accident.  The  next  morning  as  I  was  walking  on  the  foundation  show- 
ing my  wife  where  the  little  bedroom  was  to  be  I  fell  with  my  breast  on  the  joice  hanging  with  both  hands 
for  some  time  at  last  fell  to  the  bottom  of  the  cellar.  I  was  hurt  very  much  was  bleeding  in  both  arms 
and  confined  to  my  bed  for  some  days.  As  soon  as  I  was  able  I  went  to  Philadelphia  for  more  goods  by 
the  way  of  Bordentown  while  the  war  continued  I  had  to  go  on  horseback  to  Philadelphia  generally 
two  teams  met  me  at  Bordentown  sometimes  in  freezing  cold  winter  and  at  other  times  hot  schoring 
summer  days — through  all  I  have  been  preserved  to  the  present  moment  and  I  have  cause  to  be  thank- 
ful. A  law  has  been  passed  in  Jersey  tnat  all  goods  found  going  towards  the  enemy's  lines  or  coming 
out  of  Philadelphia  should  be  seized  and  one  half  should  go  to  the  informer  the  other  half  to  the  state 
unless  the  owner  was  qualified  that  they  were  imported  according  to  law — therefore  all  goods  which  I 
bought  I  presented  to  the  Notary  Public  and  was  sworn  or  affirmed  that  what  they  sold  me  were  so 
imported  I  also  had  the  large  seal  of  Pennsylvaia  when  they  arrived  at  Bordentown.  One  Peter  Tallman 
came  with  a  company  of  men  and  said  the  goods  were  contraband  and  he  should  detain  them  as  such.  I 
showed  him  my  invoice  all  attested  and  according  to  law,  after  looking  them  over  he  handed  them  back 
and  replied  that  I  had  acted  well  and  hoped  every  one  would  be  as  careful  and  guarded  as  I  had  been, 
but  very  few  believed  him,  as  he  had  been  watching  for  the  goods  and  would  have  been  better  suited 
to  have  kept  them  and  a  very  great  disappointment  to  him  and  many  others  in  his  gang.  Richard  Davis 
was  in  company  with  me  and  uncle  Letson  drove  our  team  and  Lamon  Taylor  his  it  was  a  fine  pass  tirne 
for  all  of  them  when  they  saw  Tallman  so  chop  fallen  and  all  his  gang  skunk  away.  After  I  had  paid 
my  bill  at  the  tavern  we  started  for  Shrewsbury  and  arrived  home  safe.  I  mention  this  to  show  that 
we  had  to  be  as  wise  as  serpants  and  ought  to  have  been  as  harmless  as  doves.  I  mentioned  the  raising 
of  my  house  which  was  after  the  war  and  peace  proclaimed  then  we  began  to  ship  goods  from  New  York. 


384  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

My  house  was  begun  in  the  year  1789  and  finished  in  1790,  we  both  mj  wife  and  myself  worked  very 

We  had  a  family  of  young  children  and  many  work  peonle  to  provide  for  but  we  were  blessed  with  good 
health  through  the  goodness  of  a  kind  providence.  We  finished  the  house  and  moved  the  kitchen  to 
the  east  end  of  the  house.  It  has  served  for  that  use  ever  since.  My  brother  Robert  felt  dissatisfied 
that  I  had  a  new  house  and  he  none.  I  told  him  that  I  would  assist  him  in  building  one.  I  helped  him 
until  his  house  was  all  completed  and  then  built  his  barn.  Dr.  Johnson  was  much  in  debt  and  had  to  sell 
his  corner  house  and  land— we  bought  it  and  found  it  very  much  encumbered  with  mortgages  &c.  It 
cost  us  a  great  deal  of  money  and  trouble.  He  owed  some  in  New  Brunswick,  some  above  New  York. 
I  had  to  go  to  all  who  had  claims  on  the  estate  and  pay  them  off,  so  we  still  own  all  except  what  we 
sold  to  Corlies  and  Allen,  the  stone  hill  out  southward  is  a  part  of  the  bargain.  Then  I  bought  in  com- 
pany with  Brother  Robert  20  acres  of  woodland  of  James  Williams— 50  acres  of  Daniel  Williams,  out 
by  Bill  Crafts.  I  claimed  a  right  on  100  acres  near  Natts  Hill— I  let  Brother  Robert  have  one  half, 
bought  40  acres  of  John  Morris.  I  bought  the  old  Sand  field  adjoining  it  and  the  new  ground  more  or 
less  which  makes  the  land  square.  I  built  a  small  house  on  it  and  planted  2  orchards  and  fenced  it.  I 
also  bought  a  lot  adjoining  the  above  built  a  small  house  and  repaired  the  barn.  Bought  of  James  R. 
Holmes  Vandue  3  Lots  of  Woodland  at  Chestnut  plains,  also  at  the  same  time  two  lots  of  WoodlaJid  of 
John  Holmes,  one  near  the  Falls  67  acres  the  other  by  Polly  Britons  58  18/100  acres,  which  I  paid  for 
in  Silver  Money,  and  all  the  rest  has  been  paid  for  which  the  deeds  will  show.  I  mention  the  above  lots 
to  let  my  children  know  how  they  came  to  be  mine  as  well  as  the  dwelling  houses  and  out  houses  they 
came  by  industry  and  hard  labor,  with  the  great  goodness  of  the  All  wise  Providence.  He  can  bless  a 
little  and  blast  a  great  deal.  I  hope  I  may  ever  be  truly  thankful  for  all  his  favors  and  say  what  shall 
I  render  unto  thee  O  Lord  for  all  thy  benefits  and  favors.  This  brings  to  my  mind  another  favor.  I 
went  to  New  York  with  my  wife  Mary  to  buy  goods  she  went  Westchester  to  visit  brother  John  White. 
I  sent  my  goods  on  board  of  a  Boat  lying  at  the  foot  of  Peck  Slip,  to  sail  next  day  for  Shrewsbury.  My 
wife  had  returned  to  Robert  Bowns.  I  went  to  the  boat  in  the  evening  to  put  something  on  Board,  it 
being  dark  I  fell  into  the  water  from  the  dock  and  put  my  shoulder  out  ofjoint.  I  found  a  ring  and 
cable  in  the  corner  of  the  dock  which  I  held  unto  and  cried  for  help,  and  the  Mounts  on  board  heard 
me  and  helped  out  of  the  water  to  R.  Bowns  house.  Dr.  Simmons  came  and  set  my  shoulder.  It  made 
a  loud  report  when  replaced.  They  bound  me  with  silk  handkercheifs  in  rny  chair  when  he  bled  me,  I 
fainted  away.  I  went  on  board  next  day  and  arrived  safely  at  home.  This  I  mention  as  another  nar- 
row escape  from  death.  My  brother  R.  seldom  went  from  home  I  often  thought  he  did  not  know  the 
dangers  and  hardships  I  had  to  pass  through,  but  his  health  would  not  permit  him,  and  not  being  so 
much  in  the  store  his  judgment  was  not  so  good  in  buying  or  selling.  I  was  very  fond  of  fishing  and  gun- 
ning whenever  I  had. an  opportunity.  It  gave  me  new  life.  I  often  caught  Sheepshead,  Barb,  Bass 
and  other  fish  with  hook  and  line.  I  owned  a  large  fishing  seine,  but  of  late  I  found  it  did  not  answer 
and  I  sold  the  seine  boat  and  ropes  to  Dr.  Longstreet.  He  broke  so  I  lost  all.  I  then  had  John  King's 
boat  and  his  son  Benjamin  a  small  lad  we  fished  in  the  channel  near  Tallman's  Creek.  We  concluded 
to  hoist  sail  and  run  down  to  the  Beech.  In  doing  so  the  SkiflF  upset.  The  boy  and  myself  got  on  to 
the  bottom  of  the  boat.  I  lost  my  hat — it  sunk  to  the  bottom.  We  remained  there  for  sometime. 
At  last  William  Pichard  and  Samuel  Lain  came  from  Rumson  to  our  deliverance  they  refused  receiving 
anything  for  their  services  but  I  think  I  have  since  rewarded  them.  I  came  to  John  Kings  without  a 
hat  and  glad  to  get  home  alive.  This  was  just  before  my  daughter  Betsey  was  married  to  Amos  Tilton. 
They  had  passed  meeting.  I  hardly  expected  to  see  it  accomplished  when  on  the  bottom  of  the  boat 
in  the  channel,  but  blessed  be  his  Holy  Name  I  am  still  a  monument  of  his  Mercies.  My  brother  John 
proposed  to  join  us  in  partnership,  he  to  purchase  all  the  goods  and  I  to  take  charge  of  the  store  and 
share  the  profits  equally.  We  purchased  a  boat,  after  a  while  business  declined  our  boat  did  not  pay 
ware  and  tare.  The  hands  run  away  with  all  the  profits.  W^e  mutually  dissolved  partnership  and  I 
had  to  buy  all  the  goods,  and  have  ever  since.  When  we  dissolved  partnership  with  Brother  John  it 
was  agreed  that  we  should  pay  him  a  commission  for  purchasing  goods  we  wrote  for,  but  when  we  settled 
he  wanted  pay  for  all  goods  bought.  I  thought  hard  in  his  so  doing  but  I  let  it  pass.  I  had  a  large  family 
to  support.  My  wife  and  myself  had  to  rise  early  and  work  hard  to  support  them.  I  had  an  old  un- 
settled account  with  Brother  John  for  lumber  from  Ludlow's  Yard.  Alter  his  death  his  son  George 
(was  not  a  member  of  the  Friends)  became  much  embarrassed.  I  concluded  to  let  it  go  with  the  rest, 
but  it  gave  me  some  consolation  that  they  all  alowed  it  to  be  my  just  due.  From  inability  my  brother 
Robert  was  seldom  in  the  store  he  was  very  fond  of  setting  up  diflPerent  mechanics,  but  not  to  see  to  any 
part  of  selling  or  carrying  them  on.  He  in  company  with  Joseph  Parker  built  a  saw  mill— Betsey  Parker's 
husband.  He  was  a  poor  tool  for  his  works  proved  him  to  be  so — he  had  the  worst  work  in  building  the 
mill  done  in  cold  short  days — men  worked  with  mittens.    At  last  he  began  sawing  we  were  to  have  half. 


WHITE  OF  NEW  JERSEY  385 

When  we  sent  for  our  half  we  found  that  he  had  carted  it  all  to  our  store  and  we  had  been  buying  our  own 
boards.  We  also  bought  of  Job  Morris  a  plantation  near  the  sawmill  a  man  and  his  wife  was  on  the 
place  we  were  to  have  one  half  of  the  butter  and  cheese  it  served  for  country  seat  at  Squancom — in  a 
short  time  all  seemed  to  be  going  to  decay  and  we  sold  both  the  plantation  and  the  saw  mill  and  took 
horses  and  so  on  for  pay  and  bid  farewell  to  Squancom.  We  next  set  up  a  blacksmith  and  cooper  shop 
furnished  each  with  tools.  The  blacksmith  turned  horseeler  and  the  cooper  lazy  and  the  shop  and  tools 
all  fell  on  our  hands.  We  next  set  up  John  Winans  in  a  hat  factory — found  him  fur.  He  spoiled  all  the 
hats  and  came  out  of  the  little  end  ofthe  horn.  After  that  old  Molly  DeCamp  started  a  store  in  Turkey- 
town.  We  supplied  her  with  goods.  At  first  it  looked  like  doing  well.  She  got  in  debt  and  moved  off 
to  Brunswick  we  lost  all  the  debt  with  costs.  Then  Thomas  Tilton  proposed  for  us  to  supply  him  with 
goods  at  Squan  and  give  us  half  the  profits — he  might  have  done  very  well  had  he  not  trusted  so  much, 
also  his  son  William  lived  in  New  York  whom  he  supplied  with  lumber  paid  for  out  of  the  store  which 
caused  its  ruin.  I  believe  Thomas  Tilton  to  be  an  honest  upright  man — omitted  many  things  not  having 
learning.  We  had  all  matters  settled  by  Arbitration  after  his  death.  Now  all  the  above  I  mention  to 
show  my  children  that  all  our  schemes  failed  where  we  had  to  trust  to  other  persons  to  do  our  business 
and  found  but  little  dependence  to  be  placed  in  any  one  when  it  was  not  under  my  eye  and  examine  the 
accounts  myself  and  not  trust  it  to  others.  I  then  drew  all  my  business  into  a  small  compass  and  found 
it  not  so  much  perplexity.  The  corner  house  we  rented  for  a  tavern  to  a  man  named  Joseph  Vimk.  It 
was  attended  with  so  much  trouble  to  collect  the  rent  and  keep  the  house  in  repair  which  all  fell  on  me. 
The  house  was  on  fire  several  times  and  would  have  burned  down  if  I  had  not  obtained  help  speedily. 
He  was  a  bad  man  and  I  had  many  long  law  suits  to  get  him  out  so  I  had  it  fixed  in  my  mind  to  sell 
when  a  chance  offered  and  I  sold  it  to  Corlies  and  Allen  they  have  paid  me  in  full,  and  to  return  my 
daughter  Caroline  who  had  all  the  charge  of  the  store  when  I  was  away  from  [home]  was  taken  from  me 
by  death.  She  was  much  esteemed  by  all  who  knew  her  and  was  company  for  both  young  and  old.  She 
departed  with  praise  to  her  Maker,  and  I  beleive  she  is  now  in  the  realms  of  Bliss.  My  dear  wife  began 
to  complain.  She  was  a  very  stiring  woman  and  would  never  give  up  unless  very  Bad.  I  have  ob- 
served her  cheerfulness  when  in  her  bodily  weekness,  yet  with  a  composed  mind.  She  would  entertain 
company  as  though  nothing  ailed  her.  She  had  a  sweet  temper — good  disposition  and  kind  to  the  poor 
and  ner  steps  will  long  be  remembered.  I  beleive  she  is  now  with  the  dear  children  in  the  blessed  abode 
singing  her  Maker's  praise,  the  loss  I  felt  more  than  this  pen  can  mention,  but  I  said  the  Lord  gave  and 
the  Lord  hath  taken  away  blessed  be  forever  the  name  of  the  Lord.  I  hope  I  may  so  live  and  end  my  days 
that  we  may  both  again  meet  never  to  part.  When  we  were  first  married  we  had  to  use  great  economy. 
I  began  life  with  very  little  property.  I  had  a  small  store  had  been  plundered  by  the  Refugees,  I  was 
called  a  Rebel  having  always  taken  an  active  part  in  the  American  cause  and  had  been  a  wagon-master 
under  General  Putnam,  but  had  an  acquital  from  him — honorably  and  had  retired  to  the  land  of  my 
nativity  in  order  to  settle  in  life  more  agreeable  to  my  mind — and  this  the  Refugees  and  Tories  knew  as 
I  had  informed  them  that  I  half  left  the  army.  I  would  also  say  just  before  we  were  married,  the  tories 
robbed  my  wife  of  her  last  bed.  She  sat  on  it  until  they  dragged  both  her  and  the  bed  into  the  street, 
it  is  our  duty  to  firgive  but  we  cannot  forget  them.  And  it  was  my  opinion — is  now — that  none  but 
true  Americans  should  be  at  the  head  of  Government  affairs  and  it  is  duty  to  keep  all  Foreigners  from 
Public  office,  but  use  them  well  while  they  behave  well  keep  them  from  office  as  much  as  possible.  We 
have  obtained  our  Independence  and  we  ought  to  be  very  thankful  to  Him  for  the  same  and  the  way  for 
us  to  keep  it  is  to  live  in  love  for  all  but  trust  none  to  conduct  the  affairs  of  the  Nation  but  true  Ameri- 
cans. This  much  I  thought  might  not  be  amiss  to  pen  at  this  time.  There  is  one  thing  I  omitted  on  the 
first  part  of  this  paper  W'hen  making  arrangements  to  pay  my  Master  who  lay  sick  at  Cooperstown  I 
took  what  money  I  earned  at  Bordentown,  and  borrowed  the  balance  of  Jonathan  Chesar.  I  had  seen 
him  at  my  fathers  and  also  at  my  uncles  Thomas  White  while  I  lived  with  him  and  had  the  care  of  his 
horse.  I  was  a  poor  lad  and  he  was  the  only  one  I  could  think  of  who  would  trust  me  for  the  money  and 
he  did.  I  was  very  bare  for  shirts  at  the  time  my  master  paid  me  back  two  bills  for  that  purpose,  but  I 
kept  the  very  bills  untill  I  earned  money  enough  to  pay  off  my  note — but  I  sold  a  pair  ot  new  boots  to 
help  raise  the  money.  I  paid  him  so  soon  he  threw  off  the  interest,  for  which  I  thanked  him.  I  was 
advised  not  to  pay  for  my  time — I  was  only  bound  to  him  he  could  not  sell  it  but  this  came  to  my  mind — 
he  will  soon  leave  this  world,  and  if  I  don't  pay  him  his  full  demand  when  I  meet  him  in  the  World  of 
Spirits  he  would  look  angry  at  me — so  I  made  up  my  mind  to  pay  him  in  full  of  all  demands  and  I  am 
very  glad  I  did  and  it  may  be  one  cause  and  a  great  cause  why  I  nave  been  so  blest  in  basket  and  in  store 
when  I  paid  him,  he  bid  me  farewell  and  requested  me  to  be  nice  and  keep  good  company,  not  any  low 
company  but  such  as  might  improve  me.  I  thanked  him  for  his  good  advise  he  died  soon  after.  I 
mention  this  to  show  my  children  how  good  it  is  to  attend  to  inward  Monitor  at  all  times  in  youth  as  well

as  in  old  age.  William  Penn's  advice  to  his  son  William  is  good  he  says: — "No  cross,  no  crown,  let  noth- 
ing in  the  world  tempt  you  to  wrong  your  conscience."  I  mention  this  to  show  how  good  it  is  and  ever 
will  be  to  attend  to  the  b'lessed  Monitor  within  us.  I  have  great  cause  to  be  thankful  that  in  some  measure 
I  have  attended  to  it  which  has  kept  me  in  early  life  from  many  grave  evils.  After  the  departure  of  my 
loving  wife  in  a  reasonable  time  I  was  inclined  to  marry  my  second  wife  judging  it  far  better  than  to  hire 
a  housekeeper  for  generally  they  have  no  interest  in  the  family  but  their  wages  and  there  would  be  great 
waste  of  property  in  and  about  the  house  what  come  in  at  the  door  flew  out  at  the  window  for  they  have 
friends  and  relations  they  wish  to  help.  I  have  had  a  trial  of  both  and  would  choose  to  support  a  good 
wife  and  many  children  than  one  housekeeper  hired  by  the  week.  But  this  is  a  task  for  a  widower  to 
perform  first  the  age— temper— religion— virtue— economy  and  agreeable  to  your  family  to  study  all 
this  and  consider  it  well  and  ask  in  secret  that  you  may  be  blest  in  jrour  undertaking  with  the  Presence  of 
Divine  Providence,  all  this  I  think  I  tried  to  do  in  my  second  choice  for  a  wife  which  as  yet  I  have  no 
cause  to  regret  and  I  hope  I  never  shall.  I  had  known  her  from  childhood  and  her  father  and  mother 
had  both  been  kind  to  me  when  a  stranger  in  a  strange  land.  It  is  not  my  intention  to  mention  our 
marriage  as  my  children  by  my  first  wife  all  remember  her.  We  had  three  children  viz. — Stacy — William 
and  Sarah.  We  have  great  cause  to  be  thankful  for  so  many  favors  and  blessings  having  health  and 
the  means  to  entertain  both  freinds  and  stranger  at  our  house.  We  have  had  the  company  of  many 
from  different  parts  of  the  world.  I  will  mention  of  a  great  deliverance  and  recovery  from  a  bed  of  sick- 
ness. I  had  been  in  the  sea  and  had  taken  cold  and  concluded  to  take  a  dose  of  Calomel  which  proved 
to  be  very  severe.  I  was  in  great  distress  of  body  the  Doctor  had  no  hopes  of  my  recovery.  I  was 
greatly  reduced  and  was  obliged  to  lie  very  low  for  nine  or  ten  months.  I  was  taken  sick  in  the  summer 
and  remained  so  until  late  the  next  spring,  when  I  gave  over  all  hopes  of  ever  recovering  my  health.  My 
heart  beat  so  that  strong  that  you  could  see  my  waistcoat  move  at  every  motion.  I  had  recourse  to  ever- 
ting I  could  think  of  but  none  seemed  to  help  me.  At  last  one  Doctor  Perkins  came  to  get  some  Medicines 
and  told  me  that  it  was  a  nerve  that  led  to  my  heart  which  was  out  of  order  and  said  if  I  would  [take] 
some  conserve  (or  sweet  meat)  with  port  wine  and  solid  food  it  would  help  me.  I  did  so  and  had  not 
used  it  more  than  two  days  before  it  began  to  amend  and  the  blessing  of  health  returned.  I  mention 
this  as  another  great  Mercy  and  favor  to  be  remembered.  This  conserve  is  made  of  the  real  rose  and 
leaf  sugar  or  good  broken  lump  sugar  will  answer  i  lbs.  of  sugar  to  one  pound  of  buds  and  leaves  pound 
the  buds  and  leaves  first  then  add  the  sugar  and  pound  them  all  together — as  I  was  in  a  very  week  state 
it  seemed  to  brace  me  up  and  give  me  strength — I  mention  this  that  if  any  of  my  children  or  friends  or 
any  one  else  should  ever  be  in  the  same  way  that  they  might  [employ]  the  same  remedy  which  through 
divine  favor  helped  me,  and  be  a  benefit  to  some  one  else  in  a  week  state  of  health.

WHITLOCK 

OF 

MONMOUTH  COUNTY 

THOMAS  WHITLOCK,  an  early  settler  in  Gravesend  and  Westchester,  New 
York,  and  later  a  resident  of  Middletown,  New  Jersey,  was,  I  infer,  the  son  of  Thomas 
WhitlockjOfRappahannockCounty,  Virginia,  who  made  his  will  Oct.  9,  1659,  mentioning 
his  wife  Mary  and  his  son  Thomas.     Virginia  Magazine  of  History,  Vol.  V.,  p.  285. 

There  is  no  evidence  to  support  this  inference;  it  is  simply  based  upon  the  general 
harmony  of  dates,  similarity  of  family  names  and  the  absence  in  1655,  of  Thomas  Whit- 
lock  from  Gravesend  during  which  time  his  wife  acted  as  his  attorney.  It  is  undoubtedly 
this  Thomas  Whitlock  who  is  mentioned  in  the  following  paragraph:  1638,  March  2. 
Richard  Bennett,  of  Isle  of  Wight  County,  Virginia,  (page  626),  had  a  grant  of  300  acres 
of  land,  upon  the  bay  behind  Ambrose  Meders  point  and  near  Thomas  Davis,  in  right 
of  6  persons  by  John  Myles:  John  Myles,  Tho  Whitlock,  Silvester  Focher  (changed), 
Robert  Willey,  William  Harrison,  Andrew  Blackwell. 

Cavaliers  &  Pioneers,  Calendar  of  Virginia  Land  Grants,  page  148. 

Thomas  Whitlock  while  in  old  England,  tradition  says,  married  a  young  wornan 
under  the  following  romantic  circumstances:  A  party  of  lads  and  maidens  were  strolling 
over  the  fields  on  a  bright  Sunday  afternoon  when,  coming  to  a  hedge,  one  of  the  girls, 
Susanna  Stock,  threw  her  glove  across  it,  and  jestingly  said  she  would  give  her  hand 
to  the  one  who  could  vault  it.  Athletic  young  Whitlock  accomplished  it  and  claimed 
the  reward,  saying  it  was  fit  that  the  Stock  should  go  with  the  Lock.  Certain  it  is 
that  Whitlock  had  a  daughter  Susanna. 

Miss  Harriet  Bray,  a  student  of  Whitlock  genealogy,  wrote  me:  "I  have  heard 
many  times  the  statement  that  Thomas  Whitlock  married,  for  a  first  wife,  Susanna 
Stock,  and  though  I  have  searched  diligently  I  have  never  found  any  evidence  that  such 
a  person  as  Susanna  Stock  ever  existed.  Of  course  I  cant  prove  that  she  did  not,  but 
not  a  scrap  of  proof  could  I  ever  unearth." 

During  his  residence  in  Gravesend,  Long  Island,  he  sold,  Aug.  [2]  25,  1655,  through 
his  wife,  Mary,*  acting  as  his  attorney,  a  house  and  lot  to  John  George  Baldwin  [Balden], 
and  we  know  that  he  married,  after  1675,  Mary,  the  widow  of  Thomas  Seabrook,  o\ 
Westchester  town,  Westchester  Co.,  N.  Y.     So  that  it  is  fair  to  suppose  that  he  had 

•May  not  a  careless  clerk  use  the  title  wife  instead  of  mother? 


390  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

three  wives.  His  apparent  absence  in  1655,  and  the  action  of  his  wife  in  disposing  of 
his  property  at  the  time,  suggests  that  he  was  away,  closing  up  his  affairs  in  an  earlier 
home. 

Upon  his  advent  in  Gravesend  he  was  allotted  farm  38. 

In  1654,  he  bought  a  farm  of  Nicholas  Stillwell  in  Gravesend. 

In  1657,  he  had  five  acres  of  his  farm  in  the  North  West  quarter  under  cultivation. 

In  October,  1663,  he  was  one  of  the  men,  "armed  and  well  mounted,"  who  joined 
the  English  troops  at  Jamaica.  1         r    u     /- 

In  December,  1663,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Gravesend  scouting  expedition  to 
Navesing  region,  later  Monmouth  Co.,  N.  J.,  who,  in  defiance  of  the  Dutch,  intended 
to  buy  and  settle  thereon.  ,      ,    ,  ,  ,       .. 

Judged  by  these  last  two  actions  he  belonged  to  the  discontented  English  con- 
tingent who  had  sought  a  home  among  the  Dutch,  but  who  desired  to  renounce  their 
allegiance  with  the  Connecticut  settlements. 

1666,  Oct.  7.  Thomas  Whitlock  and  John  Griggs  were  fined  fifteen  shillings  each, 
for  bargaining  on  the  sabbath. 

1666,  Oct.  24,  he  bought  from  Christianson  Jacobson  [Wolf],  lot  34  in  Gravesend. 

1670.  He  had  Guisbert  Island  rights  assigned  to  him. 

1670,  Apr.  II.  Nicholas  Stillwell  sold  him  lot  29  in  Gravesend. 

1 67 1,  Nov.  6.  Whereas  the  quorum  wase  pleased  to  order  Will  Wilkinse  to  pay  tenn 
pounds  towards  the  relefe  of  Hanna  Aplegate  and  her  childe  this  sheweth  that  Thomas 
Whitlock  received  of  Mr.  Delavall  five  pounds  of  the  above  said  soume  of  the  which 
the  said  Thomas  delivered  five  pounds  to  the  Constable  and  overseers  of  Gravesend  in 
red  cloth  which  by  them  wase  delivered  to  Bartholomew  Applegate  the  husband  of  the 
said  Hanna  for  the  use  above  said  and  the  other  twenty  shilings,  the  remainder  of  the 
five  pounds  wase  deducted  off  to  defray  other  charges  and  labor  that  Thomas  Whitlock 
has  been  at  for  the  use  of  Hanna  Applegate.     [Not  strictly  verbatim  et  literatim.] 

1 67 1,  Nov.  6.  Received  of  the  Constable  of  Gravesend  five  pounds  in  red  cloth 
upon  the  amount  of  ten  pounds  received  of  William  Wilkins  according  to  the  Governor's 
order  towards  the  release  of  Hanna  Applegate  and  her  child,  by  me  Bartholomew  Apple- 
gate.     Attest:  Will    Goulding,    Clarke.  Gravesend  Records. 

iS'ji,  Apr.  10.  Thomas  Whitlock,  of  Gravesend,  sold  lots  29  and  34,  to  Barent 
Johnson,  of  Amersford,  which  were  to  be  delivered  May  i,  1673.  On  the  same  paper 
is  endorsed: 

1679/80,  Feb.  28.  "This  witnesseth  that  Thomas  Whitlock,  living  att  Westchester 
doth  owne  to  be  paid  and  ffully  satisfied  by  Barent  Juriansen  of  Gravesend,"  etc. 

During  his  residence  in  Gravesend,  1664,  New  Netherlands  was  surrendered  to  the 
English,  and  immediately  Thomas  Whitlock  with  his  own  and  four  other  families, 
settled  upon  the  unbroken  soil  of  Middletown,  in  Monmouth  Co.,  N.  J. 

In  1667,  the  settlement  of  this  village  was  effected  by  a  patent,  granted  in  April, 
1665,  by  Governor  NichoUs  to  the  Monmouth  Patentees  and  their  Associates,  and 
Thomas  Whitlock  received  lots  4  and  34. 

In  1670,  he  was  among  the  purchasers  of  land  called  Newasink,  Narumsunk  and 
Pootapeck. 

In  1673,  Thomas  Whitlock  and  his  three  sons,  took  the  Oath  of  Allegiance  to  the 
Dutch,  who  had  recently  and  temporarily  re-entered  New  York,  and  at  the  same  time 
the  Dutch  Governor,  Calve,  appointed  him,  (Thomas  Whitlock,  Sr.),  ensign  of  the 
Middletown  militia  company.

six  hundred  acres:

1676,  Jan.  10.  He  patented  two  hundred  and  seventeen  acres  of  land  at  Middletown 
from  the  Proprietors. 

In  1675,  Thomas  Seabrook  died  leaving  his  widow,  Mary,  residing  in  Westchester, 
whither  Thomas  Whitlock  soon  betook  himself,  and  where  he  must  soon  have  married 
her,  lor  he  was  sued  under  the  following  circumstances: 

Roger  Townsend,  in  October,  1672,  had  sold  land  in  Westchester  to  Morgan  Bedient, 
singleman,  who,  the  following  year,  1673,  sold  it  to  Thomas  Seabrook.  Both  Bedient 
and  Seabrook  shortly  died  and  the  latter  was  succeeded  in  his  property  by  his  brother, 
Thomas  Bedient,  who  threatened  an  action  against  Thomas  Whitlock,  who  had  ap- 
parently married  Mary,  the  widow  of  Seabrook,  and  who,  in  1688,  sedured  a  release 
from  all  claims  owned  by  the  said  Bedient. 

There  was  also  seemingly  some  confusion  about  other  lands  owned  by  Thomas  Sea- 
brook, for  the  town  of  Westchester  decreed,  April  22,  1692,  that: 

Whereas  there  is  a  Twenty  ffifve  pound  priviledge  of  Comonage  belonging  to  the  Orphant  of  Thomas 
Seabrook  late  freeholder  of  this  Town  Deceased  the  said  Priviledge  being  in  Po/se/sion  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  more  intended  for  the  said  Thomas  Whitlock. 

The  relations  between  Thomas  Whitlock  and  Daniel  Seabrook,  who  was  the 
"orphant"  referred  to,  continued  amicable,  for  Nov.  9,  1688,  the  latter  was  a  witness 
in  Middletown,  N.  J.,  whither  he  had  removed,  to  a  deed  of  Whitlock  to  John  Ruckman, 
and,  June  10,  1696,  Thomas  Whitlock,  of  Middletown,  carpenter,  for  £80,  sold  to  "Daniel 
Seabrook,  my  son  in  law,"  ol  Middletown,  planter,  two  hundred  and  two  acres  of  land, 
in  Middletown,  at  Shoal  Harbor,  which  included  his  proprietary  grant  of  Jan.  10,  1676; 
land  from  John  Bowne,  Mch.  26,  1689;  land  from  John  Pierce,  Sep.  4,  1693,  and  more, 
by  deed  Feb.  12,  1691,  for  which  Seabrook  paid  £80. 

1676,  Jan.  10.  Thomas  Whitlock  received  a  Carteret  grant  of  eight  parcels  of  land, 
containing  two  hundred  and  seventeen  acres  of  upland  and  meadow.

in  Westchester,  formerly  belonging  to  John  Woolley,  to  Henry  Gardner. 

1687,  May  3.  There  was  a  further  division  of  the  undivided  lands  and  Thomas 
Whitlock  received  two  allotments.

lands  of  John  Ruckman,  Sr.,  James  Grover  and  the  late  Edward  Tart,  which  the  said 
Whitlock  had  received  from  the  Proprietors  by  patent.     Daniel  Seabrook,  a  witness. 

1689,  Mch.  26.  Thomas  Whitlock  bought  of  John  Bowne,  of  Middletown,  planter,

of  which  were  Garret's  bridge.  Garret's  brook,  "which  is  the  small  brook  coming  from 
the  hill  and  running  south  thirty  four  chains  to  the  line  of  William  Whitlock's  land," 
Garret  Wall's  land,  John  Whitlock's  land  and  William  Whitlock's  land.  This  was  the 
land  Thomas  Whitlock  received  from  the  Proprietors  March  10,  1676. 

1692,  Thomas  Whitlock  was  a  Grand  Juryman  in  Monmouth  Co.

Thomas  Whitlock's  residences  in  the  villages  of  Gravesend,  Middletown  and 
Westchester  were  overlapping.     Before  he  abandoned  one  he  apparently  ventured  upon 


WHITLOCK  OF  MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  N.  J.  393 

another,  and,  holding  lands  in  each,  was  confusingly  spoken  of  as  a  resident  of  each, 
and  as  undivided  lands  were  apportioned  to  non-resident  holders  he  frequently  was 
granted  lands  though  absent.  He  also  apparently  bought  and  sold  property  in  these 
settlements  as  a  speculation. 

A  study  of  the  records  gives  his  residences  as  follows: 

1655,  and  earlier,  at  Gravesend. 

1664,  at  Middletown. 

1666,  at  Gravesend,  where  he  probably  remained  until  1672. 

1673  to  1678,  at  Middletown. 

1678  to  1686,  at  Westchester. 

1686  to  1703,  at  Middletown. 

The  parentage  of  his  children  is  unascertained,  but  it  seems  that  the  boys  may  have 
been,  by  reason  of  their  age,  by  his  first  wife,  as  well  as  his  daughter,  Susanna,  while 
the  other  children  were  probably  the  issue  by  one  of  his  later  wives.  So  far  as  the  deduc- 
tion concerning  Susanna  goes,  I  realize  it  is  faulty,  for  to  have  been  the  daughter  of  a 
Susanna,  she  must  have  been  born  prior  to  1655,  when  Thomas  Whitlock  had  a  wife, 
Mary,  and  we  know  that  Susanna  Pew,  his  daughter,  was  living  in  1760,  which  would 
have  made  her  one  hundred  and  five  years  and  upwards.  It  is  also  worthy  of  note  that 
Thomas  Whitlock  left  no  daughter,  Mary,  though  he  had  two  wives  by  that  name.  It 
may  be,  of  course,  that  he  had  such  a  child,  and  that  she  died  young. 

Thomas  Whitlock  was  an  energetic  and  aggressive  man,  of  restricted  education, 
but  endowed  with  a  strong,  clear  mind,  which,  coupled  with  integrity,  placed  him  high 
in  the  esteem  of  his  fellow  townsmen,  who  selected  him  to  fill  the  positions  of  constable, 
grand  juror,  foreman  of  jury,  town  surveyor,  etc. 

"Carelessness,  physical  bravery  and  unlimited  hospitality  are  Whitlock  traits." 

The  walking  stick  of  the  first  Thomas  Whitlock,  marked  "Thomas  Whitlock,  1692," 
is  owned  by  Joseph  Whitlock,  of  New  York  City. 

His  widow,  Mary,  was  a  communicant  of  the  Middletown  Baptist  Church,  in  17 12, 
as  also  another  of  like  name,  Mary  Whitlock,  who  was  likely  the  wife  of  John  Whitlock, 
4.     The  latter  is  again  mentioned  in  the  Church  list  of  173 1. 

Mary,  wife  of  Thomas  Whitlock,  the  first,  is  further  alluded  to  under  the  Seabrook 
family. 

The  original  will  of  Thomas  Whitlock  is  on  file  as  well  as  of  record  at  Trenton,  N.  J. 
A  copy  of  it  is  as  follows: 

In  the  name  of  God,  Amen.  I  Thomass  Whitelock  of  Shole  harber  in  midletowne  in  east  newjersy

In  1673,  he  took  the  Oath  of  Allegiance  to  the  Dutch. 

He  was  included  in  his  father's  application  for  lands,  in  1675,  but  as  no  patent  was 
issued  to  him,  and  no  further  allusion  is  made  to  him,  it  is  conjectured  that  he  died  be- 
tween 1675  and  1676,  without  issue. 

3  WILLIAM  WHITLOCK,  son  of  Thomas  Whitlock,  i,  was  a  settler  on  the 
Monmouth  tract  as  early  as  1664,  to  which  he  had  come  with  his  father  and  brothers 
from  Gravesend. 

In  1669,  he  married,  in  the  village  of  Gravesend,  Kattrine  Dorcet.

1698,  May  16.  John  and  William  Whitlock  sold  adjoining  farms,  at  Middletown,

Whale  Fisheries.

lying  at  Shoal  Harbor. 

In  1713,  John  Pew  and  his  wife,  both  agreed  to  the  articles  of  doctrine  and  govern-

7    ABIGAIL  WHITLOCK,  daughter  of  Thomas  Whitlock,  i. 

Some  years  ago  Miss  Harriet  Bray,  a  most  conscientious,  painstaking  genealogist, 

wrote  me:  "I  am  quite  disappointed  that  you  have  not  yet  located  Abigail , 

wife  of  Samuel  Ogborne,  Second.  Abigail  Whitlock,  daughter  of  the  original  Thomas, 
lacks  an  husband  and  I  have  been  tempted  to  marry  her  to  Samuel  Ogborne  and  defy 
the  interested  to  prove  that  she  was  not.  She  is  the  only  Abigail  at  large  I  can  find 
whose  dates  are  suitable."  This  conjecture  is  entitled  to  consideration  but  it  is  well  to 
recollect  that  Samuel  Ogborne,  the  Second,  came  from  West  Jersey,  and  may  have 
brought  his  wife  with  him. 

9  JOHN  WHITLOCK,  son  of  John  Whitlock,  2,  removed  to  Middlesex  County

WOODWARD 

OF 
NEW  JERSEY 

1  ANTHONY  WOODWARD  was  born,  near  Ashford-in-the-water,  Derbyshire, 
England,  in  1657.  He  was  still  there,  i2mo.,  22,  1682,  when  his  sister  Alice  was  married 
to  Edward  Booth,  in  Ashford  Friends'  Meeting.  He  emigrated  to  America  and  was  for 
a  long  time  on  Long  Island,  whence  he  removed  to  New  Jersey,  bringing  with  him  a 
certificate  of  removal  to  Chesterfield  Monthly  Meeting,  which  described  him  as  a  young 
man  in  good  standing.  He  married,  in  Chesterfield  Meeting,  i2mo.,  14,  1686,  Hannah, 
daughter  of  Thomas  Foulkes,  whom  he  appears  to  have  previously  known  in  England. 
The  Friends  appointed  to  ascertain  their  "clearness  on  account  of  marriage,"  etc.,  re- 
ported they  were  "not  satisfied  concerning  her  and  John  Hooten,"  and  requested  them 
to  "stay  one  month  longer,  but  contrary  to  their  desire  they  Proseeded  in  their  marriage, 
which  was  some  trouble  to  Friends." 

Anthony  Woodward  became  a  large  land  owner,  and  was  held  in  high  esteem  by 
both  the  East  and  West  Jersey  Proprietors,  who,  in  their  travels  from  Burlington  to 
Shrewsbury,  made  his  house  a  stopping  place.  He  was  prominent  in  Chesterfield  Meet- 
ing; held  many  township  offices,  and  was  a  Member  of  the  General  Assembly  of  East 
Jersey,  during  the  administration  of  Lord  Cornbury. 

He  died,  and  was  buried  Mch.  16,  1730,  leaving  a  will  dated  Dec.  29,  171 8,  and 
proved  Mch.  26,  1730,  in  which  he  mentioned: 

his  wife,  Hannah;  sons,  Thomas,  John,  Anthony,  William,  Joseph  and  Samuel,  and  daughters, 
Elizabeth  King,  Mary  Maltsby,  Clement  Woodward  and  Sarah  Woodward.

If  this  Thomas  Woodward  is  the  son  of  Anthony  Woodward,  i,  which  I  believe  to

Council  of  Safety,  in  the  sum  of  sixteen  pounds,  proclamation  money.

mansion,  lately  occupied  by  Thomas  Howard,  in  which  he  lived  until  his  death  in

stance Woodward  named  a  daughter.  Constant,  after  her  grandmother,  Constant  Wil- 
liams, who,  it  happened,  married,  for  her  second  husband,  not  only  a  Williams,  but  an 
Israel  Williams. 

Anthony  Woodward  resided,  at  the  date  his  will  was  made,  at  Upper  Freehold.  He 
was  of  Chesterfield  when  he  married,  between  Apr.  5  and  May  3,  1756,  Deborah  Tilton, 
who  was  born  in  1734,  as  two  of  his  children,  at  least,  name  a  child  Deborah.  Further, 
his  son,  Nimrod,  signed,  as  a  witness,  to  the  marriage  of  his  cousin,  Phebe  Williams, 
immediately  after  two  Tiltons,  who  were  uncles  of  this  same  Phebe  Williams.  See  Still- 
well's  Hist.  Miscellany,  Vol.  ii,  p.  3 1 8. 

Anthony  Woodward,  son  of  Anthony  Woodward,  was  dealt  with  by  the  Chesterfield 
Friends'  Meeting  for  bearing  arms,  1777-i. 

He  was  a  Royalist,  for  in  the  Memorial  of  Samuel  Stillwell,  of  Upper  Freehold,  he, 
Samuel  Stillwell,  states  that  he  joined  the  Royal  Army  in  1776,  and  was  attainted  in 
1777;  that  he  has  a  wife  and  family;  that  he  had  a  farm  of  about  one  hundred  and  fifty 
acres,  and  that  he  was  born  in  Monmouth  County.  Further  he  produced  a  copy  of  the 
last  will  and  testament  of  his  father,  Samuel  Stillwell,  dated  Nov.  2,  1753,  which  left 
claimant,  as  soon  as  he  arrived  at  the  age  of  twenty-one  years,  his  property.  The  testi- 
mony of  Anthony  Woodward  was  taken  in  favor  of  the  claimant,  and  he  swore  that  he 
was  uncle  to  said  claimant.  The  American  Loyalists,  Audit  Office.  MS  in  16  volumes,

"Woodward,  Jesse.  Of  Monmouth  County,  New  Jersey.  His  ancestor  came  to 
America  three  years  after  William  Penn,  and  built  a  stone  house,  which  is  (1847)  still 
standing.  He  was  a  man  of  consequence  in  his  neighborhood,  and  was  employed  by 
Lord  Cornwallis  to  contract  for  stores  and  forage  for  the  Royal  Army.  When  his  Lord- 
ship left  that  part  of  the  country,  considerable  sums  were  due  to  persons  of  whom  Mr. 
Woodward  had  made  purchases,  for  which  he  was  held  accountable;  and  unable  to  make 
payment,  he  was  imprisoned  by  the  Whig  authorities,  and  remained  in  confinement 
three  years." 

"In  1783,  he  removed  to  Beaver  Harbor,  New  Brunswick,  and  thence  to  St.  John, 
where  he  died.     He  belonged  to  the  religious  Society  of  the  Friends,  or  Quakers."

WOOLLEY 

OF 

MONMOUTH  COUNTY 

Tradition,  and  it  is  a  most  unlikely  one,  says  that  Thomas  and  Geoffrey  Woolley 
came  from  England  or  Wales,  (about  1620?),  and  settled  in  New  Jersey.  One  of  the 
brothers  went  to  Cuba  or  the  west,  and  never  was  heard  from.  While  from  the  other 
brother  the  family  has  been  supposed  to  descend. 

The  Documentary  History  of  New  York,  Albany,  1850,  gives  the  following  informa- 
tion concerning  persons  of  the  name  of  Woolley:  In  1683,  there  lived  at  Southampton, 
L.  I.,  Robert  and  John  Wooley,  spelling  the  name  with  only  one  "1."  In  1698,  the 
census  of  Southampton  shows  Robert,  John  and  Joseph  Wooley;  also  Ann,  Elizabeth, 
Hannah,  Phebe,  and  Mary  Woolley.  Vol.  1,  page  248,  makes  mention  of  John  Woolley, 
in  1673,  ^nd  H.  Onderdonk' s  History  of  Roslyn  and  Hempstead,  L.  I.,  speaks  of  John 
Woolley,  Sr.,  as  marshal  and  constable,  Apr.  i,  1686.  He  probably  was  father  of  the 
John  Woolley  who  married  July  6,  1728,  Hannah  Allen,  both  being  of  Great  Neck  or 
Hempstead,  L.  I. 

Robert  Woolley,  first  of  Fairfield,  Mass.,  and  from  1653  to  1683,  of  Southampton, 
L.  I.,  was  son  of  Robert  Woolley  and  Theckla  Pemberton,  his  wife,  of  Hertfordshire, 
England.  Baptised  at  St.  Albans,  Aug.  2,  161 5,  he  emigrated  to  this  country,  in  1639, 
and  was  the  ancestor  of  the  Woolleys  of  Springfield,  Essex  (now  Union)  Co.,  N.  J.  His 
sister,  Ellen  Woolley,  baptised  Oct.  15,  161 1,  was  mentioned  in  the  will  of  James  Wil- 
liams, citizen  and  merchant  tailor,  London,  Sep.  7,  1620,  as  his  god-daughter,  while  in 
the  will  of  Roger  Pemberton,  of  St.  Albans,  Hertfordshire,  she  is  called  his  grand- 
daughter, Robert  Woolley  is  called  his  son-in-law,  and  Theckla,  his  daughter,  is  spoken 
of  as  the  wife  of  Robert  Woolley.  This  is  seen  from  Genealogical  Gleanings  in  England, 
by  Henry  F.  Waters,  as  published  in  the  New  England  Register,  volume  43. 

From  Progress  and  Public  Processions  of  ^ueen  Elizabeth,  Vol.  3,  page  81,  is  derived 
the  following:  Sir  John  Woolley,  born  Shropshire,  graduated  Oxford  1553;  traveled 
beyond  the  seas  1557;  became  Secretary  to  Queen  Elizabeth  1568;  made  Prebendary  of 
the  Church  of  Welles  1569;  died  1595;  buried  in  St.  Paul's,  London.  His  son,  Francis 
Woolley,  died  161 1.     Sir  John  married,  second,  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Sir  William  More. 

Whether  there  is  any  relationship  between  any  of  the  foregoing  Woolleys  and 
Emmanuel  Woolley,  of  Newport,  Rhode  Island,  has  yet  to  be  discovered.  Thus  far 
the  only  thing  we  know  is  that  the  names  are  the  same. 

425 


426  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

From  Austin's  Genealogical  Dictionary  we  learn  that  Emmanuel  Woolley  was  made 
freeman  of  Newport,  May  17,  1653;  May  13,  1667,  he  and  others  skilled  therein  were 
ordered  to  repair  all  arms  brought  to  them  by  the  Captam  or  Lieutenant  of  the  Train 
Band  of  Newport;  taxed  in  1680,  £1-7-11;  and  May  4,  1681,  the  Assembly  remitted  his 
forfeiture  of  a  bond  of  recognizance  for  good  behavior  and  appearance  at  the  last  General 
Court  of  Trials,  he  not  appearing.  cl         i_         xt   t    • 

The  statement  has  been  made  that  he  came  to  bhrewsbury,  N,  J.,  m  1660,  but  the 
sole  evidence  of  that,  if  true,  lies  in  the  fact  that,  to  the  extent  of  three  pounds,  he  was 
one  of  the  contributors  for  the  purchasing  of  lands  from  the  Indians,  No  land  was 
patented  to  him;  there  is  no  warrant  for  any  survey  of  land  in  his  name;  and  no  deed  is 
of  record  in  which  he  appears  as  grantor.  It  is,  therefore,  likely  that  the  share  of  land 
he  purchased  was  given  or  sold  to  one  of  his  sons. 

Of  his  children,  nine  in  number,  all  except  the  oldest  and  youngest  sons  came  to 
Monmouth  Co.,  N.  J.,  Edward  settling,  at  Manasquan,  John,  at  Poplar,  where  he  had 
many  acres  of  lands  adjoining  those  of  his  father-in-law,  Thomas  Potter,  and  William

himself  as  a  "hatter,"  in  deeds  given  in  1690,  and  as  a  "feltmaker,"  in  deeds  of  1701; 
and  signed  his  will  Jan.  3,  1728/9,  which  is  without  date  of  probate.  While  in  the  town- 
ship of  Shrewsbury,  he  seems  to  have  owned  land  at  Passequenecqua,  on  Rumson  Neck, 
and  to  have  lived  at  Manasquan. 

After  living  for  a  time  at  Shrewsbury,  he  must  have  gone  back  to  Rhode  Island, 
where  two  more  of  his  children  were  born,  in  1692  and  1694,  and  then  have  returned  to 
New  Jersey,  where  the  balance  of  his  children  were  born.     At  least  that  is  the  idea  to

as  the  Elizabeth  Webley,  also  mentioned  by  Priscilla  Hearse;  if  so,  then 
she  married  John,  son  of  Thomas  and  Audrey  (West)  Webley,  her  own

1687,  Aug.  18.  John  Tucker,  of  Deale,  Monmouth  Co.,  conveyed  the  precedine 
rights  to  Thomas  Hilborn,  of  Shrewsbury. 

1688,  Dec.  12.  John  Tucker  and  Ruth  Tucker  were  witnesses  at  the  marriage  of 
Thomas  Hillborn  and  Elizabeth  Hutton;  and  again,  Mch.  5,  1739,  when  George  Nichol- 
son, of  Chesterfield,  married  Hannah  Woolley,  in  Shrewsbury. 

1690/1,  Jan.  7.  John  Tucker  is  mentioned  in  the  will  of  Jonas  Hall,  of  Shrewsbury 
and  is  made  residuary  legatee  and  executor.  ' 

1692,  Nov.  2.  John  Tucker  is  named  as  one  of  those  bounding  property  that  was 
confirmed  to  Gavine  Drummond,  on  Poplar  Swamp  Brook. 

The  Tucker  family,  of  Dartmouth,  has  in  its  possession  a  paper  given  by  Patience 
the  daughter  of  Abraham  and  Mary  (Slocum)  Tucker,  and  wife  of  Thomas  Woolley',

"Shrosbury  ye  loth  iim.  1710. 
I  acknowlidg  that  I  nave  Resived  that  twenty  pound  Legese  that  my  father  gave  me:  by  my  Unkel 
John  Tucker.    I  say  Resived  by  me 

PATIENCE  Woolley 
Amos  White 
Hannah " 

This  receipt  may  have  been  the  basis  for  the  statement  that  has  been  made  that 

"Nathaniel  Slocum,  brother-in-law  of  John  Tucker,  is  the  progenitor  of  the  Slocum  family  in  this 
[Monmouth]  county." 

But  whether  the  assertion  was  founded  on  it  or  not,  it  forms  a  material  aid  in  dis- 
closing the  relationship  between  the  Tucker  and  Slocum  families,  and,  taken  in  con- 
nection with  the  signatures  of  witnesses  on  the  Shrewsbury  Quaker  Records,  indicates, 
with  sufficient  certainty  for  it  to  be  relied  upon,  that  Abraham  Tucker,  brother  to  the 
above  mentioned  John  Tucker,  married,  Oct.  30,  1679,  Mary,  daughter  of  Giles  and 
Joan  Slocum;  and  that  their  sister,  Hannah  Tucker,  married  Nathaniel  Slocum,  a  son 
of  the  same  Giles  and  Joan  Slocum.

cataway,  while  Gabriel  came  to  Monmouth  County,  where  he  remained  until  after  the 
death  of  his  first  wife,  and,  about  1728,  removed  to  Middlesex  County,  where  he  received 
a  patent  for  a  ferry  that  should  run  from  South  Amboy  to  Staten  Island,  stopping  at 
Perth  Amboy. 

Gabriel  Stelle  married,  for  his  second  wife,  Margaret,  daughter  of  Thomas*  and

Possibly  they  are  buried  in  the  Friends'  Burying  ground  at  Shrewsbury.  But  one 
has  to  be  careful  as  regards  any  positive  statement  thereto,  on  account  of  the  unauthor- 
ized action  of  a  loyal  descendant  of  the  family,  himself  bearing  the  name  of  Woolley, 
and  being  one  of  the  few  living  members  of  the  Meeting.  He  saw  the  distressing  and 
objectionable  way  in  which  the  Burying  ground  had  been  allowed  to  stand,  and,  obtain- 
ing funds  for  the  purpose,  had  it  put  in  proper  order,  and  granite  stones  erected  as  marks 
of  respect  to  his  ancestors,  viz.: 

John,  son  of  Emanuel  Wooley,  1659-1714 
Mary  Potter,  his  wife,  1664-173 5 
John  Woolley,  Jr.,  1 690-1 772 
Patience  Lippitt,  his  wife,  1698-1775 
Benjamin,  son  of  John  Woolley,  Jr.,  171 8-1798 
Catharine  Cook,  his  wife,  1720-1784 
Jacob,  son  of  Benjamin  Woolley,  1760-1826 
Elizabeth  Tucker,  his  wife,  1767-1854 

There  was  not  the  slightest  scrap  of  evidence  existing  to  indicate  that  any  one  of 
the  first  six  persons  mentioned  above  had  been  buried  in  the  yard.  He  has  given 
erroneous  dates  in  some  instances.  He  calls  John's  wife  Mary,  when  she  was  generally 
known  as  Mercy.  And  he  was  absolutely  wrong  in  asserting  that  Catharine  Cook  was 
the  wife  of  Benjamin  Woolley,  53,  the  son  of  John,  Jr.,  23.  The  dates  of  birth  and 
death  of  that  Catharine,  who  married  this  Benjamin,  are  given  correctly,  but  it  was  not 
Catharine  Cook,  rather  was  it  Catharine  Husbands.  Catharine  Cook  became  the  third 
wife  of  Benjamin  Woolley,  25,  in  1744,  and  probably  had  no  issue  by  him,  while  it  was 
Catharine  Husbands,  "spinster,"  who  had  marriage  license  dated  Apr.  2,  1750,  wjth 
Benjamin  Woolley,  Jr.,  53,  and  called  "junior"  for  the  very  purpose  of  distinguishing 
him  from  his  uncle,  the  husband  at  that  time  of  Catharine  Cook.  As  proof  of  the_  cor- 
rectness of  this  position  there  are  the  positive  facts,  first,  that  the  oldest  child  of  this

marriage  was  born  in  1752,  or  not  until  eight  years  after  the  marriage  of  Catharine  Cook 
took  place;  and  secondly,  that  in  the  Parker  family  descended  from  Benjamin  WooUey 
53,  there  is  a  small  book  with  the  dates  of  death  of  the  parents,  and  of  birth  and  death

"REDEMPTIONERS" 
IN 
NEW  JERSEY 

The  great  dissatisfaction  existing  among  the  lowly  and  not  infrequently  in  the 
middle  and  higher  classes  throughout  Great  Britain,  especially  where  the  moral  senti- 
ment was  opposed  to  the  licentiousness  of  the  day  and  where  many  were  the  subjects 
of  religious  oppression,  turned  the  thoughts  and  steps  of  many  towards  the  New  World, 
where,  from  kinsmen  and  friends,  glowing  accounts  had  been  written  home  of  the 
equality  of  man,  his  religious  freedom  and  his  landed  betterment. 

How  to  reach  this  Mecca  was  a  problem  difficult  of  solution.  Shortly  a  way  arose 
and  there  was  a  strange  intermingling  of  the  poor  and  the  rich  in  the  emigration.  With 
the  development  of  this  country,  laborers,  of  all  kinds,  were  needed  and  the  distressed 
at  home,  without  funds,  sold  their  services  for  a  term  of  years,  at  the  end  of  which,  they 
redeemed  themselves  by  reason  of  their  labor  and  were  discharged,  with  a  modest 
equipment,  from  their  late  employers. 

The  speculative  sea  captain,  the  extensive  landholder  and  rnerchant,  alike,  saw 
the  chance  for  gain  and  imported  this  element,  indenting  each  individual  in  written  or 
printed  contracts,  of  which  today  a  number  exist,  and  which  they  transferred  or  "sold" 
as  opportunity  arose.  The  majority  of  the  emigrants  were  laborers,  others  came 
qualified  with  a  knowledge  of  trades,  glaziers,  carpenters,  blacksmiths,  bricklayers, 
painters,  joyners,  etc.,  etc.,  and  the  whole  were  spoken  of  as  "servants. 


494  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

In  addition  to  the  laboring  element  there  were  many  who  did  not  scruple,  though 
of  gentle  birth  and  refinement,  to  hire  themselves  out  for  domestic  purposes.  Often 
one  who  was  reasonably  prosperous  in  the  Old  World,  and  whose  estates  had  been  con- 
fiscated, was  left  with  so  little  that  it  barely  sufficed  to  import  himself,  while  his  wife 
and  children  would  come  in  the  same  ship  as  "indented  servants."  The  Redemptioner 
frequently  rose  with  such  rapidity  that  he  was  able  to  purchase  the  unexpired  con- 
tracts of  the  various  members  of  his  family  and  assemble  them  about^  him  in  his  own 
home.     Not  infrequently  the  master  married  his  "servant,"  or  the  "servant"  would 

marry  his  mistress.  ,  ,     ,         ^    n    i  i  i  j     l     r.    , 

Hardship  was  the  inevitable  lot  of  all  the  early  settlers  and  the  Redemptioner 
either  suffered  or  enjoyed  according  to  the  worldly  prosperity  and  the  gentleness  of  his 
employer.  There  were  hard  taskmasters,  but  the  slavery  was  not  akin  to  that  of  the 
negro  in  our  South,  for  the  populated  portion  of  the  country  was  small  and  kindred  were 
not  divorced  from  each  other  and  the  term  of  servitude  was  often  short. 

The  Redemptioner  frequently  filled  official  positions  under  the  government  and  was 
conspicuous  in  organized  church  work.  His  social  distinction  regulated  itself  promptly, 
and  he  likely  assumed  in  this  community  the  same  position  that  he  held  in  his  former 
home.  Today,  the  blood  of  the  Redemptioner  is  mingled  with  every  good  strain  that 
crossed  to  the  New  Jersey  shore  and  his  descendants  can  look  with  pride  to  his  ambition, 
courage  and  moral  force. 

After  the  first  great  exodus,  1682-1685,  made  up  entirely  of  Scotch  Protestants, 
there  was  apparently  some  diminution  in  the  numbers  which  came  to  this  country,  and 
little  by  little  the  character  of  the  individual  changed,  so  that  in  the  first  quarter  of  the 
i6th  century,  the  Redemptioner  was  an  ordinary  case  of  "contract  labor,"  fired  by  no 
lofty  religious  enthusiasm  and  probably  of  no  social  cast.  At  what  time  this  type  of 
importation  ceased  I  have  not  ascertained. 

The  recording  of  "indentured  persons"  protected  all  concerned  from  infractions  of 
the  contract.  It  was  not  conceived,  however,  for  this  reason,  but  for  the  object  of 
securing  from  the  Proprietors  such  lands  as  were  allotted  under  the  Laws  of  Concessions, 
to  each  settler,  male  and  female,  master  or  servant.  Thus  it  is  that  the  following  lists 
include  both.

VVOOLLEY  OF  MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  N.  J.  503 

WODROW'S  HISTORY  OF  THE  SUFFERINGS  OF  THE  CHURCH  OF 
SCOTLAND  FROM  THE  RESTORATION  TO  THE  REVOLUTION 

Rev.  Robert  VVodrow,  Minister  of  the  Gospel  at 
Eastwood,  Glasgow,  MDCCCXXX 
Sect.  XII     P.  331 

Of  the  hardships  of  the  prisoners  transported  to  America,  with  Pitlochy,  in  Sep- 
tember, particularly  those  of  the  laird  of  Barmagechan. 

Having  in  the  former  section  given  the  history  of  the  sufferings  of  these  good  people 
who  were  taken  to  Dunnotter  this  summer,  I  am  now  to  follow  a  good  many  of  them  to 
America. 

Argyle's  invasion  being  now  over,  and  no  more  fears  from  that  <?:>/,[  ?I  the  council 
began  to  weary  of  the  prisoners  at  Dunnotter,  and  brought  them  back  to  Leith,  as  we 
have  seen,  where  another  essay  was  made  to  bring  them  to  comply  with  the  impositions 
now  put  on  people  in  their  circumstances;  and  upon  their  refusal,  they  resolved  to  send 
good  numbers  of  them  to  the  plantations,  and  so  rid  themselves  of  any  more  trouble 
about  them.  Accordingly,  after  near  three  months'  severe  treatment  at  Dunnotter, 
they  come  to  Leith,  two  of  them  were  left  behind  as  dying  men,  of  which  Quintin  Dick, 
so  frequently  mentioned,  was  one,  and  in  his  remarks  formerly  cited,  he  hath  some 
sweet  observations  upon  providence  timeing  his  sickness  at  this  juncture.  He  recovered 
in  some  time,  and  was  overlooked,  and  got  safe  home  to  his  own  house,  and  lived  some 
years  to  reflect  with  pleasure,  and  record  the  Lord's  wonderful  steps  of  kindness  to  him, 
and  his  goodness  under,  and  after  all  those  sore  troubles  he  underwent.  Not  a  few  who 
were  in  the  great  vault  were  sick,  and  allowed  horses  upon  their  own  charges.  The 
Reverend  Mr.  Frazer  was  very  infirm  and  weak,  and  yet  the  captain  by  no  means  would 
permit  him  to  have  the  benefit  of  a  hired  horse,  as  several  others  had.  The  foot  had 
sixty-six  miles  to  travel,  and  their  hands  tied  behind  their  back  with  small  cords.  From 
Dunnotter  they  were  carried  to  Montrose  tolbooth  the  first  night,  from  thence  to  Ar- 
broath, from  thence  to  Dundee,  from  thence,  upon  the  Sabbath,  to  the  Cowpar  of  Fife, 
from  thence  to  Burntisland,  and  thence  to  Leith. 

The  council  were  pleased  to  come  down  to  Leith,  and  sit  in  the  tolbooth  there,  and 
spent  some  time  in  the  re-examination  of  the  prisoners.  It  was  but  very  few  complied 
with  their  impositions,  and  they  were  dismissed.  Others,  who  were  very  weakly,  and 
had  some  friends  to  intercede,  got  off  upon  a  bond  of  compearance  when  called,  as  Mr. 
William  M'Millan,  who  gave  bond  as  above,  under  the  penalty  of  five  thousand  merks. 
The  most  part  of  them  refusing  the  oaths,  and  to  satisfy  in  other  particulars,  were  per- 
petually banished  to  America,  and  many  of  them  were  gifted  to  the  laird  of  Pitlochy, 
to  be  carried  thither.  William  Hannah,  formerly  mentioned,  in  the  parish  of  Tunner- 
garth,  when  brought  before  the  lords,  and  refusing  the  oath  of  allegiance  with  the 
supremacy,  was  threatened  with  banishment.  He  told  them,  that  he  was  now  too  old 
to  work,  or  go  to  war,  and  he  reckoned  he  would  be  useless  there.  Old  general  Dalziel 
took  him  up  very  bitterly,  and  replied,  he  was  not  too  old  then  to  be  hanged,  and  he 
would  hang  well  enough.  That  same  day,  as  my  information  bears,  August  22d,  the 
general  died  suddenly,  and  William's  age  and  sickness  prevented  his  being  carried  away 
with  the  rest.  In  a  few  weeks  he  tell  very  ill  in  prison,  and  appearing  to  be  in  a  dying 
condition,  he  was  liberate,  and  got  home,  after  very  hard  sufferings  for  three  years  and 
more. 


504  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

The  names  of  as  many  as  are  come  to  my  hand,  who  were  banished,  shall  be  insert 
just  now.  Let  me  only  remark,  that  such  who  had  not  to  pay  their  freight,  were  gifted 
to  George  Scot  laird  of  Pitlochy,  who  freighted  a  Newcastle  ship,  Richard  Hutton 
master,  bound  for  New-Jersey;  and  all  the  persons  now  banished  were  committed  to  his 
care.  I  cannot  give  an  account  of  all  the  names  of  such  as  were  banished  with  Pit- 
lochy;   Several  of  their  testimonies  and  letters  they  wrote  to  their  friends  toward 

the  end  of  August  are  before  me;  and  particularly  an  original  letter,  from  about  twenty- 
eight  of  them,  dated  Leith  Road,  August  28th,  1685,  directed  to  their  friends,  too  long 
to  be  here  insert.  In  short  they  signify,  "That  now  being  to  leave  their  own  native  and 
covenanted  land  by  an  unjust  sentence  of  banishment,  for  owning  truth,  and  holding  by 
duty,  and  studying  to  keep  by  their  covenant  engagements  and  baptismal  vows,  whereby 
they  stand  obliged  to  resist,  and  testify  against  all  that  is  contrary  to  the  word  of  God 
and  their  covenants;  and  that  their  sentence  of  banishment  ran  chiefly  because  they 
refused  the  oath  of  allegiance,  which  in  conscience  they  could  not  take,  because  in  so 
doing,  they  thought  they  utterly  declined  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  from  having  any  power 
in  his  own  house,  and  practically  would,  by  taking  it,  say  he  was  not  King  and  head  of 
his  church,  and  over  their  consciences;  and  on  the  contrary,  this  was  to  take  and  put  in 
his  room  a  man  whose  breath  is  in  his  nostrils,  yea,  a  man  that  is  a  sworn  enemy  to 
religion,  an  avowed  papist,  whom  by  our  covenants  we  are  bound  to  withstand,  and  dis- 
own, and  that  agreeably  to  the  scripture,  Deut.  XVII.  14,  15."  They  go  on  to  leave 
their  testimony  against  the  evils  of  the  times,  and  for  the  preaching  of  the  gospel  in  the 
fields  and  houses,  and  sign  as  follows. 

"John  Kincaid,  George  Muir, 

George  Johnston,  Robert  Young, 

Thomas  Jackson,  Andrew  Paterson, 

John  Harvey,  John  Foord, 

Christopher  Strang,  William  Spreul, 

Peter  Russel,  Robert  M'Ewen, 

John  Henderson,  John  Seton, 

John  Gilfillan,  Charles  Honyall, 

James  Grierson,  James  Forsyth, 

Walter  MTgne,  John  M'Ghie, 

Adam  Howie,  James  Muirhead, 

Annabel  Gordon,  Margaret  Leslie, 

Agnes  Steven,  Margaret  Forrest, 

Jean  Moffat,  Annabel  Jackson." 

Besides  those  I  have  before  me  letters  of  John  Arbuckle,  John  M'Queen,  a  letter 
signed  I.  p.  and  K.  G,  and  another  signed  Janet  Symington,  all  of  them  banished  at  this 
time,  with  many  others  whose  names  are  not  come  to  me;  we  shall  just  now  find  some  of 
them  among  those  who  died  at  sea  in  the  voyage.  In  the  same  ship  likewise  were  Mr. 
John  Frazer,  and  that  excellent  gentleman  Robert  M'Lellan  of  Barmagechan,  of  whom 
more  just  now,  William  Niven  in  Pollockshaws,  with  a  good  many  others  who  had  en- 
dured Dunnotter  cruelties.  And  it  is  mostly  from  Mr.  Frazer  and  Barmagechan's 
account  of  this  voyage,  that  I  am  to  frame  the  following  narrative  of  it.  Several  others 
were  likewise  in  the  vessel,  who  retired  from  their  native  country  to  settle  in  America 
as  the  reverend  Mr.  Archibald  Riddel,  whom  we  had  in  the  former  part  of  this  history, 
and  his  wife,  and  several  of  the  relations  of  such  who  went  over. 

The  prisoners  lay  some  time  in  the  road  of  Leith,  before  all  was  ready,  and  sailed 


WOOLLEY  OF  MONMOUTH  COUNTY,  N.  J.  505 

the  5th  of  September.  Informations  before  me  bear,  that  Pitlochy  tampered  with  some 
of  them,  particularly  James  Forsyth,  to  get  money  before  they  sailed,  offering  for  five 
pounds  sterling  paid  now,  to  set  him  at  liberty  as  soon  as  they  came  to  land.  But 
James  answered,  he  would  give  him  no  money  to  carry  him  out  of  his  native  land,  adding 
he  had  done  nothing  worthy  of  banishment.  After  they  had  turned  the  land-end,  the 
fever  began  to  rage  in  the  ship,  especially  among  such  who  had  been  in  the  great  vault 
of  Dunnotter.  Not  a  few  of  them  were  sick  when  they  came  aboard,  and  no  wonder, 
considering  the  barbarous  treatment  they  had  met  with;  besides,  much  of  the  flesh  which 
the  captain  of  the  ship  had  provided  for  the  prisoners  began  to  stink  before  they  sailed 
out  of  Leith  road,  and  in  a  few  days  it  was  not  eatable.  In  a  month's  time  the  fever 
turned  malignant,  and  few  or  none  in  the  ship  escaped  it,  in  so  much  that  it  was  usual  to 
cast  over  board  three  or  four  dead  bodies  in  one  day.  Most  of  the  ship's  crew,  except  the 
captain  and  boat-swain,  died.  Pitlochie  who  had  freighted  the  ship,  with  his  excellent 
lady,  died  likewise,  and  so  enjoyed  nothing  of  the  produce  of  near  a  hundred  prisoners 
gifted  him  by  the  council;  and  near  seventy  persons  died  at  sea.  I  have  before  me  a  list 
of  the  passengers  and  prisoners  who  died  at  sea.  It  concerns  the  design  of  this  history 
only  to  record  the  names  of  the  prisoners,  and  they  are  as  follows; 

"Thomas  Graham,  Gilbert  Monorgan, 

John  Smith,  WilHam  Cunningham, 

John  Muirhead,  Thomas  Jackson, 

Kathrine  Kellie,  Andrew  M'Lellan, 

Thomas  Russel,  John  Hodge, 

Thomas  Gray,  John  Ramn, 

John  Swinton,  John  Kippen, 

WiUiam  Sprat,  James  Wardrope, 

John  M'Kenman,  Thomas  Finlater, 

John  Hutchison  of  Wardlaw,    William  M'Millan, 

Agnes  Cohalh,  John  Kirkland." 

Perhaps  several  of  the  passengers  might  be  likewise  sufferers,  but  able  to  pay  their 
freights;  but  I  have  not  set  them  down,  for  shortness.  I  find  further  in  the  list,  Mr. 
John  Vernor  and  his  wife,  Pitlochy  and  his  lady,  and  the  lady  Aitherny,  Mrs.  Riddel, 
Mrs.  Eupham  Rigg,  lady  Aitherny 's  daughter,  William  Rigg,  her  son,  Mr.  William  Ged, 
and  Mr.  William  Aisdale,  minister.  Notwithstanding  of  this  raging  sickness,  and  great 
death,  much  severity  was  used  toward  the  prisoners,  at  sea,  by  the  master  of  the  ship 
and  others:  those  under  deck  were  not  allowed  to  go  about  worship  by  themselves,  and 
when  they  essayed  it,  the  captain  would  throw  down  great  planks  of  timber  upon  them 
to  disturb  them,  and  sometimes  to  the  danger  of  their  lives.  We  have  heard  of  the 
badness  of  their  provisions  already. 

Many  were  the  disasters  of  this  voyage.  The  ship  was  at  the  utmost  hazard  by  the 
breaking  up  of  a  leak  at  two  several  times.  They  had  several  calms,  and  some  pretty 
severe  storms.  The  captain,  after  Pitlochys'  death,  began  to  tamper  with  Mr.  Johnston 
his  son-in-law,  who  now  had  the  disposal  of  the  prisoners;  and  it  was  projected  to  carry 
them  into  Jamaica  or  Virginia,  and  the  master  offered  to  take  all  the  prisoners  there 
from  him,  and  pay  him  in  bulk.  It  was  urged  for  this,  that  the  markets  were  much  bet- 
ter there  for  servants  than  at  New  Jersey.  When  they  are  thus  treating,  and  near  an 
issue,  very  much  for  the  advantage  of  the  passengers  and  prisoners,  the  wind  turns 
straight  for  New  Jersey,  and  they  were  forced  to  sail  with  it.  There  they  arrived  about 
the  middle  of  December,  after  they  had  been  about  fifteen  weeks  at  sea.     At  their  land- 


5o6  HISTORICAL  MISCELLANY 

ing  many  of  them  were  sick;  and  Mr.  Frazer  observes,  that  a  worthy  gentleman  from  the 
west  of  Scotland  died  among  their  hands  as  they  were  carrymg  him  ashore.  The  same 
person  observes,  that  "partly  of  such  who  voluntarily  oflFered  themselves  to  go  abroad 
from  the  Kingdom  of  Scotland,  and  partly  of  such  who  were  persecuted  by  banishment, 
there  were  upwards  of  60  died  at  sea,  whose  blood  (adds  he)  will  be  found  in  the  skirts 
of  enemies,  as  really,  as  if  they  had  died  at  the  cross  and  Grass-market  of  Edinburgh." 
Before  the'prisoners'came  ashore,  it  was  once  intended  by  Mr.  Johnston,  to  whom  Pit- 
lochy  had  made  them  over,  to  stop  their  getting  out  of  the  ship,  till  they  should  all  of 
them,  under  their  hand,  sign  a  voluntary  declaration,  as  it  was  called,  that  they  offered 
four  years'  service  at  that  place.  But  this  they  would  not  yield  unto;  yea,  a  consider- 
able number  of  them  joined  in  a  protestation  against  their  banishment,  with  a  large 
narrative  of  the  hardships  they  endured  during  their  voyage,  and  formerly,  for  conscience 

When  the  prisoner's  came  ashore,  the  people  who  lived  on  the  coastside,  and  had  not 
the  gospel  settled  among  them,  were  harsh  enough  to  them,  and  showed  them  no  kind- 
ness. A  little  way  up  the  country  there  was  a  town  where  there  was  a  minister  settled, 
and  the  inhabitants  there  were  very  kind  to  them.  When  they  had  information  of  the 
prisoners'  circumstances,  they  invited  all  who  were  able  to  travel,  to  corne  and  live  with 
them,  and  sent  horses  for  such  as  were  not,  and  entertained  them  that  winter  freely,  and 
with  much  kindness.  In  the  following  spring,  Mr.  Johnston,  upon  his  father-in-law's 
gift  of  the  prisoners,  pursued  them,  and  got  them  all  cited  before  the  court  of  that  pro- 
vince. After  hearing  both  sides,  the  governor  called  a  jury  to  sit  and  cognosce  upon  the 
affair.  They  found  that  the  pannels  had  not  of  their  own  accord  come  to  that  ship,  nor 
bargained  with  Pitlochy  for  money  or  service,  and  therefore,  according  to  the  laws  of  the 
country,  they  were  assoiled;  upon  which  most  of  the  prisoners  retired  to  New  England, 
where  they  were  very  kindly  entertained,  and  employed  according  to  their  different 
stations  and  capacities.  Pitlochy  proposed  to  be  enriched  by  the  prisoners,  and  yet  he 
and  his  lady  died  at  sea  in  the  voyage.  He  sold  what  remained  of  the  estate  to  pay  the 
freight,  and  much  of  the  money  remaining  was  spent  upon  the  law-suit  in  New  Jersey. 
Thus  it  appears  to  be  but  a  hazardous  venture  to  make  merchandise  of  the  suffering 
people  of  God.  A  good  many  of  the  passengers  and  prisoners  died  in  the  plantations, 
the  rest  returned  to  their  native  country  at  the  happy  revolution, — Mr.  Riddel,  William 
Niven  and  others,  and  particuarly  the  laird  of  Barmagechan 


ERRATA 

In  StiUwell's  Historical  Miscellany,  Vol.  II,  page  2^0,  is  an  item: — "Jo"n  Willson, 
Jr.    One  tract  E.  by  Grover's  brook;  N.  by  Mahoras  brook;  VV.  by  R.  Stout, 

Sen".;  S.  by  Jn°:  Wilson,  Sen": (this  tract  of  land  is  still  in  possession  of  a  lineal 

descendant  of  this  Wilson  Patentee). 

Another  item  on  the  same  page:  "Tho".  Harbour: — D.  191,  conveys  one  of  Step. 
Arnels  2  Shares,  to  John  Throgmorton,  in  Middletown,  formerly  Survey'd, 
NOW  resurvey'd.  N.  E.  part  by  Bay  &  Meadows  of  Sundrys.  S.  E.  by  Ben: 
Devell;  S.  John  Job  &  S.  W:  Jam*:  Ashton.  W.  unsurvey'd  &  p':  of  J:  Grover's 
"  (this  tract  is  now  known  as  the  Old  Cherry-tree  farm;  these  descriptions  con- 
tained in  these  old  deeds  confirm  the  traditional  location  of  the  Grover  mill;  this  mill  in 
later  years  was  owned  and  operated  by  a  man  named  Irwin  and  it  was  called  Irwin's 
Mill  prior  to  its  destruction  by  fire. 

Judge  Geo.  C.  Beekman  in  his  book  "Dutch  Settlers  in  Old  Monmouth"  gives  the 
location  of  Grover's  Mill  as  on  Mahoras  Brook. 

Hoping  this  information  may  clear  up  the  errors,  I  am 

Yours  truly 
Emily  L.  (Mrs.  W"  Martin)  Thompson. 

Incidentally,  I  trace  my  descent  from  Jas.  Grover  three  times,  twice  on  the  paternal 
side,  once  on  maternal  side,  also  am  a  descendant  of  John  Loojbourrow  [sic]  who  built 
and  operated  the  second  mill  in  the  township  at  the  head  of  McClees'  Creek  about 
1688,  A.D. 

Letter  to  Dr.  Harrison  McNear,  Atlantic  Highlands,  dated  Middletown,  N.  J., 
August  1^,  1 93 1. 

Dr.  Stillwell  never  spared  himself  time  nor  trouble  in  his  endeavor  to  make  his 
statements  accurate  and  for  years  was  close  to  the  old  settlers  of  Monmouth  County 
and  their  families,  by  letter  and  personal  contact.  The  above  correction  is  much  appre- 
ciated and  graciously  accepted.     Harrison  McNear.
