Hiivino luid occasion about Hve years ago to investigate some points in the early history of New
Jersey Dr. Henry Kace, of Pittstown, directed nie to the Kingwood Records. Tlirough the kindness
of the Custodian, Mr. Abrani R. Vail, of Quakertown, unfortunately recently deceased, free access
to them was given me. So much of interest to so many people was discovered that the notes then
taken were regarded of sullicient value to publish. Every effort has been used to avoid errors but
the nature of the work was such that some minor ones may not have escaped notice. The work
has been a labor of love upon the ])art of both the compiler and pultlisher.

5 HE region about Quakertown, New Jersey,
was settled by Friends at an early date,
bow early it is impossible now to deter-
mine with exactness. A few old deeds which
have escaped the ravages of time indicate that
some of the families were there abont 1726 or
1727. The Friends who were early settlers were
members of Chesterfield Monthly Meeting, of Bur-
lington County. In the minutes of that Meeting,
under date of 10th. 4, 1729, the following minute
is found : "Thomas Williams, Samuel Schooley
and others made application to this meeting
that, whereas, their settlement being remote from
Friends, they request Friends approbation and
consent to meet together at one of their houses
every First day of the week to worship God ;
whereupon this meeting, well knowing the advan-
tage the people of God have in meeting together
in His name, approve of their so doing until there
be an established meeting nearer to them, or until
Friends see some inconveniency in their so doing. "
This is supjjosed to be the authority for the estab-
lishing of the Bethlehem Monthly Meeting, which
afterwards became the Kingwood Meeting, the
name of the township having been changed to the
latter. In the act itself it will be noticed that
the location of the settlement is not given. There
is no evidence of the appointment of overseers
until 1731, when a proposition was brought out
" to appoint overseers for Bethlehem."
In 1733 Samuel Large, Samuel Willson, John
Stevenson, Edward Kockhill and Joseph King act
as trustees for four acres of land for the use of the
meeting, which are deeded by Jacob Doughty.
Nothing is known of the date of the erection of
the original meeting-house. It is said to have
been a log house, and to have stood about thirty
yards southwest of the present building*.
The establishment of a Ijusiness meeting in 1744
is indicated by the following extract from the
minutes ; John Simcock is supposed to have been
the clerk.

for the preceding information to a paper by Mrs Mary C.
Vail.

wood, formerly called Bethlehem, according to the
Minutes here-in-after Eecorded At our Monthly
Meeting held at Bethlehem the 10th. Day of the

hold a Monthly Meeting here, Should be Entered
at large, which is as foUoweth, vizt. At our
Quarterly Meeting held at Burlington the 27th.

considering the application of Friends of Bethle-
hem Meeting who have again renewed their re-
quest, and after deliberate and weighty considera-
tion of the matter. Do now consent and agree that
as they live very remote from any Monthly Meet-
ing which must needs be on Several accounts
inconvenient to them. They have Liberty to hold
a Monthly ^Meeting among themselves, and it is
Agreed that the said meeting be held the Second
day in each Month : And the Clerk is desired to
give them a copy of this Minute.
A true Copy pr. Caleb Eaper Clerk.
No better history of Kingwood Meeting can be
written than that which is contained in the Min-
utes. The following quotations, in their quaint
language, tell the story :
11 1 1744 I 5. "Jeremiah Williams reports
that he carried Seventy shillings which was col-
lected at our last Monthly Meeting to the Quar-
terly Meeting and paid it to Caleb raper (the
Treasurer) towards the Yearly Meetings Stock."
11 12 1744.
This meeting taking into con-
sideration the necessity of Building a new Meet-
inghouse in this place have Unanimously agreed
to lay the necessity thereof before the next Quar-
terly Meeting in order to their Approbation
therein."
11 1 1744 I 5. "Samuel Large & Jeremiah
Williams who were appointed to Attend Last
Quarterly Meeting Keport that Agreeable to the
6
request of our last Monthly Meeting they made
Application for Building a New Meetinghouse

large as followeth vizt. At our (Quarterly Meet-
ing held at Burlington the ;>r)th. day of the 12th.
Month 1744. The Monthly Meeting of Friends at

newed their request for holding a IMeeting of
Worship there every First day of each week which
this meeting grants and appoints Samuel Willson
Junr. shall serve in the place of an overseer at
particular Meeting."
12 6 1745. " This meeting taking into consid-
eration that it would answer much better both in
respect of our own affairs and also because our
Monthly Meeting interferes with some otlier adja-
cent meetings so that both cannot both be so
well attended as otherwise they might be if our
Monthly Meeting were settled on the Second Fifth
day in every mouth w herefore it is concluded that
those Friends who shall be appointed to attend
next Quarterly Meeting do make request accord-
ingly and that our request be inserted in our
report to the next meeting. This meeting agrees
and it is Concluded that our Monthly Meetings
and Meetings of Worship both on First days and
Week days shall begin at Eleven o'Clock in the
morning for the future."
12 7 1745. Upon the Request of our last
Monthly Meeting to the Quarterly Meeting for

Meeting might be held for the future on the Fifth

tation that the cost will amount to one hundred and
lifty pounds and have but yet one hundred pounds

8 1 1750. "The comittee appointed to fix

12 2 1750. " The Committee appointed at
the last monthly meeting for settling and fixing a
place for building a IMeetingiiouse at the Great
Meadows return it as their opinion and judgment
that the Meetinghouse shall be built at the same

to themselves befoie this committee was chosen
which .this Meeting agrees to. Fiiends of the
Great meadows not acqu,ing with the judgment
of the committee in affixing the place for building
the Meetinghouse request an appeal to the next
Q. M. which this meeting granted."
10. 3. 1750. "Those fiiends that are dissatis-
fied at the Great Meadows respecting the Commit-

Minuts."
13 7 1750. "Samuel Stevenson one of the

that he attended the same and the Q. M. sent a

firmed the judgment of this Meeting in affixing
the place where the Meetinghouse ought to be
built at the Great Meadows."
13 2 1752. "This Meeting appoints Jeremiah
Williams, .Jonathan Kobeson, Joseph King Sen.

they think best."
14 5 1752. Samuel Large and .John Emley
are appointed to carry the report to Q. M. at
Chesterfield to which is added the following :
14 5 1752. " We have had under our consid-
eration the visiting of families and tho we are sen-
sible that it is a good work where it is rightly
performed yet we are under some difficulty to get
such among us as are suetable and willing to
undertake it being a small Meeting and few of us
looking upon ourselves sutable for that weighty
service. And we have likewise considered the
proposal for settling a school, but being few of us
and so remote from each other and some of us
under low circumstances so that it seems unlikely
to us that we shall be able to raise a sufficient
sallary to support such a school. Otherwise we
should be very free and heartily join with the
proposal believing it would in some degree answer
the good purpose intended."
11 4 1754. Samuel Large, Gershom Mott
Junior and Robert Large are appointed to visit
the families of Friends at Kingwood and else-
where belonging to that fleeting and Josiah Dyer,
Richard Lundy Senior and Samuel Schooley are

given by the said Q. M. towards repairing our
Meetinghouse in Kingwood and to sign the same

21 9 1752. "Pursuant to the order of the
last Q. M. held at Burlington the Clerk of the said
Meeting sent a copy of a Minute made at the said
Meeting which is as followeth \izt. " At a Q.
M. held at Burlington the 31st of the 8th month
1752 This meeting observing something slender in
the report from Bethlehem and being disatisfied
with it was informed by some Friends not of that
Meeting that a difference was among them relat-
ing to the rebuilding the roof of the Meetinghouse
this Meeting therefore for the sake of peace and to
prevent further contention thought it necessary to
consider the conveniency and inconveniency of
both proposals and upon the whole is of opinion
th^t the form the roof of the said Meetinghouse
was before built in is much the best both as it
regards the conveniency of the women friends and
the conveniency of galleries and the CI erk is ordered
to send a copy of this minute to the said Meeting.
By order of the Q. M. Sam'l. Smith Clerk."
21 9 r

9 11 1752. "The Clerk is desired to write
to the Overseers of Hardwick Meeting and to tlie
Meeting also to let them understand that this
Meeting looks upon it that they are remiss in
their duty in neglecting to make due report of
the state of their Meeting and to desire them to be
more careful to attend at our Monthly INIeeting
more frequentily, or at least to send a report of
the state of their Meeting to the Monthly Meeting
next before every Quarterly Meeting.
8 2 1753. Samuel Smith's request for having a
meeting of worship settled at his house in Green-
wich hath been deliberately considered and foras-
mucli as he lives very remote from any meeting of
Friends it is concluded and agreed on by this
Meeting that tliey shall have privelege to hold a
meeting tliere the Second First day in every
month so long as Friends of this Monthly Meeting
may see a service in continuing it for the promul-
gation of the truth.
9, 5, 1754. In addition to the usual report to
Chesterfield Q. M. taken by Saniutl Large and
Jacob Burdsal the following :
We have to general satisfaction finished rebuild-
ing our Meetinghouse according to the former
model as we were advised by the Quarterly Meet-
ing so far that we hold our meetings there, it
being about as near completion as it was before it
was burnt the whole cost of rebuilding amounts
to upwards of one hundred and seven i^ounds and
we fall short in payment about twenty three
pounds which is disbiirsed to the workmen by one
of the managers in belialf of this ]\Ieeting and
we are but a small number and several of us not
of ability to pay much more tlian what they have
lately paid towards ])uilding and rebuilding of it.
We desire that Friends of the Quarterly Meeting
will be pleased to help us once more therein.

cause we live remote from each other that the
Select Meeting shall be held at our Meetinghouse
in Kingwood the sixth day of the week next
succeeding the monthly meeting before evei\v
Quarterly meeting.
10 6 175(5. It is concluded by this Meeting

the last Q. M. held at Burlington concerning such
as make profession with us that pay tines to screen
themselves from distress for their neglect or refusal
to act in military services was read and the clerk
is desired to enter the same at large in the Month-
ly Meetings books of Minutes which is as foUov,-
eth vizst. At a Q. M. held at Burlington the
28th of the 2d month 1757 as to that part of the
report from the Bethlehem requesting the advice
of this meeting touching those that pay fines to
screen themselves from distress when it is likely
to come among them through their neglecting
military service after weighty consideration it is
the judgment of this meeting that such ought to
be tenderly but earnestly laboured with to convince
their judgments of tlie manifest breach of our
ancient Christian testimony such a conduct must
always make as well as the inconsistency of
it with our profession and after a suitable labour
and Christian forbearance it appears there is no
hope of such being i-eclaimed judgment is to be
placed upon them in the manner prescribed by
the discipline."

loweth vizt.
At a Q. M. held at Burlington on the 2sth. day
of the 2d. month 1757 the meeting took into con-
sideration that part of the report from Kingwood

a youths meeting at Hardwick is left for further
consideration.

ing on the 3d. day of the same week as our M. M.
is held in the 9th. month every year.
10 5 1759, We have considered the request of
Hardwick Friends for holding our M. M. there
sometimes and for their ease and to bear part of
the burden with them do condescend that it
may be held there at present alternately vizt.
every other month and to continue so till Friends
of this Meeting may see cause to order it other-
wise and begin there the first time at the same-
time as as our next M. M. falls in course.

from the meeting for sufferings as follows :
A consideralde time was spent in this meeting
in a weighty consideration of the fluctuating state
of ijeoples minds under the situation of public
ai^airs. It appeared to be the sense of this meet-
ing that it would be safest and most consistent for
us as a religious society to keei) as mucli as possi-
ble from mixing with the people in their human
policies and contrivances and to forbear meeting
in their public consultations as snares and dangers
may arise from meetings of that kind however
well disposed particulars may be to mitigate and
soften the violent dispositions to prevalent it
being a season in which it is abundantly needful
to seek best wisdom to guide and preserve in
safety and consistency of conduct with our reli-
gious profession.
9 2 177."). Agreeable to the advice contained in

MAItRIAGES.
The following;- records of marriages are obtained
from two sources. The first group is gathered
from the Minutes. Where there are two names
given the date is that of the first declaration of
intention to marry. The marriage occurred after
the second declaration. Wliere only one name is
given the date is approximate. In such cases the
name of the husband or wife is not given in the
Minutes. The second group is taken from a book
which bears the following title : A BOOK FOR
REGESTEUIXG THE NAMIvS TIMES OF THE
BIRTHS OF THE CHILDREN OF SUCH WHO
ARE MEMBERS OF THE RELIGIOUS SOCIE-
TY OF THE PEOPLE CALLED QUAKERS
(AND OF SOME BURIALS OF SOME BELONG-
ING TO KING WOOD MEETING) BELONGING
TO THEIR MONTHLY MEETING IN KING-
WOOD IN HUNTERDON COUNTY IN THE
WESTERN DIVISION OF THE PROVINCE OF
NEW JERSEY.
The Kingwood Meeting has passed away but
the book has l)een religiously preserved by its
successor, the Quakertown Monthly Meeting.
The records are interesting to thousands of persons
scattered over the United States in whose veins
some of this ancient blood is coursing. Names
are found here which have taken a permanent
place in the Nation's history; others once promi-
inent have disappeared from this part of the
country, are entirely unknown where originally
they were a power, but have reappeared in other
parts of the country ; others again sound strangely
and are generally unknown. These records and
the minutes represent the everyday life of a sturdy
race; there is a vein of sadness running through
them and a puritanic idea of life which opens up
to us the mental frame of those of our ancestors
who came to this country to escape religious
persecution.
The cover of the book is an old deed, sewed on
with coarse thread and long stitches, the parch-
ment having been cut and patched to get the
proper size. A great deal of the writing has been
obliterated by age and handling but some things
can be made out. The deed whicli was executed
in "the Fifth Year of tlie reign of Queen ANN"
is evidently the story of the sale of a piece of land
situated "between Ridley Creek and Crum Creek
in the County of Chester and in the Province of
Pennsilvania. " John Wood is the grantor and
John FFawcet the grantee; John Dawson's name
appears and the dates 1708 and 1710. The writ-
ing is so faded that it is impossible to get a con-
nected description of the property. John Simcock
was Deputy Recorder. Those familiar with the
History of the Society of Friends and of Chester
County will recognize all these names as belonging
to prominent people. The connection between
the deed, Chester County, Pennsylvania, and the

In the folio wing records of marriages no attempt
is made to reproduce the formula used in making
the record except in the first one recorded. This
one is given verbatim as a sample of the wording.
The wording is not exactly the same in all but
the diiference is due to the writing having been
done by ditYerent persons. The groom signed tir.st,
then the newly made wife and then the witnesses.
I have separated the first two from the others by
a semi-colon. These names help to locate many
persons whose personality was supposed to have
disippeared entirely. Several names could not be
deciphered with certainty; in such case an interro-
gation point has been enclosed in parenthesis.
The order of the records has been generally fol-
lowed. The nearness of two names sometimes in-
dicates husband and wife.
5 10 1752 Whereas Benjamin Canby of
Solesbury in the County of Bucks & Province
of Pennsyllvania & Martha Whitson of Am well in
the County of Hunterdon New West Jersey hath
declared their intentions of Marriage before sev-
eral Monthly Meetings of the People called Qua-
kers according to the good Order used amongst
them t*^- having consent of Parents & Relations

MEMORIALS.
In the following obituary notices the spelling
and puHCtuation have been preserved. Being a
"faithful attender at Meetings both for worship
and discipline" seems to have been one of the
tests of a correct walk and conversation.
A Memorial of the Time of Death and
BuEiAL OF Joseph King, Senior.
Our antient Friend Joseph King departed this
life the 10th. Day of the 12th. Month 1761. In the
Seventy eight year of his age, and was Inter'd in
Friends Burying Ground at King wood the Eleventh
day of the Same Month. He was not, as could be
perceived attended by any Violent illness, and he
departed quietly as one going to Sleep. He was
esteem'd amongst us, to be an Honest Sober Inno-
cent well minded man, a good & Inoffensive Neigh-
bor, well beloved of Friends & Others, for which
reasons he was appointed an Elder amongst us
before the Select-meeting was settled here, and
for the Same reasons hath been continued an
Elder amongst us ever Since until his Death, and
Ave doubt not, but that he is gone to Eternal rest.
A Mejioeial of the Time of the Death and
Burial of Samuel Willson, Senior.
Our antient Friend Samuel Willson Died thee
Nineteenth Day of the Twelfth month 1761 and
was Inter'd in Friends Burying Ground at King-
wood the Twenty-Second Day of the Same Month
about the Eightieth year of his Age. He was a
Minister many years which in a general way was
well received amongst his Friends. He was a
Diligent attender of our Meetings both of Wor-
shop and Discipline, till of late years when
through his ability & Natural Strength failed so
much that he was not able to Stay During the
time that Meetings are generally held. His Life
and Conversation (in a good degree) was Solid
Sober and Orderly, agreeable to his Ministry. He
was Suddenly Siezed with Death not Lying any
time Sick so that he had no time then to declare
any that might be on his mind to Speak to any of
his Friends. Yet we ha\e good reason to Hope
when we consider his former Conduct A\hile he
was in his Health and Strength that he lias
gone to Enjoy that Immortal Crown that is laid
up for the Righteous.
Aged 80 years, 5 months, & 14 days.

KiNGWooD Monthly Meeting's Testimony
CONCERNING SAMUEL LARGE SENIOR.
This our said Antient Friend Samuel Large De-
pjirted this Life at his House in Kingwood, The
9th. Day of the 6th Montli 1705, and was decently
Inter'd in Friends Baring place there.
He was Religiously Enclined when young in
years (as he related at times) By being Early Vis-
ited, insomuch, hethought he could freely Declare
to others of the Goodness & merciful kind dealings
of God to his Soul. But for want of Giving dili-
gent heed to the inshineings of that inward Light
which had Measureably Redeemed him, he came
to a loss of the Sweet and Heavenly Communion
which he had been made a Sharer of, and l>egan to
join with Folly and Vanities which youth is apt
to, but in Process of time being re-Visited by an
All Merciful God, Gave up to bear the Cross, and
about the Tliirtieth Year of his Age, he was made
willing to give up to bear a publick Testimony, &
to Declare to others what God had done for his
Soul, Avhich Testimony was Living and Powerful,
ct Tending to the refreshing and Watering of the
Lords Heritage and People, being often concer'd,
where his Lot was cast, to invite and persuade
people to seek the Lord for tliemselves that
So they might know the work of Regeneration
wrought and Completed in and for themselves, he
freely gave up to Spend both his time and sub-
stance on Truths account, when call'd thereto.
He visited Several Provinces on this Continent,
and Some divers times in his Younger years he
was diligent in attending Meetings both for Wor-
ship and Discipline, and Quarterly and yearly
meetings when in Health and ability of Body, he
was a Generous kind open hearted Friend ready
to do good to all, but especially to the Household
of Faith, very ready in a.ssisting the Servants and
Messengers of Christ, when Tiaveling on that ac-
count. He brought up his Children in Plainess
of Speech and Aparel, a great Encourager of his
Family and otheis, in attending Meetings, that
they might discharge their Duties which they (3we
unto their maker. In the Later part of his days,
when old, he met with Exercises & great Difficul-
ties, Yet (tho in his declining age, and Natural
Capacities weak ) We have good reason to believe,
as to an inward State of Mind, he Lived past &
through them all, and that lie Died in Peace with
the Lord and in good will to all mankind And is
Entered into Rest and Reaps the Reward of the
Faithful, where Troubles and Exercises are at
an End.
A Memorial op the Time, of Death and
Burial of our Friend Anne Webster
Daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Web-
ster.
Our Said friend Departed this Life the 23d.
of the 8th. month 1767 and was Decently buried
on the 24th. of Sd. mo. in friends Buring Ground
at Kingwood.
Kingwood Monthly Meeting's Testimony
Concerning Jeremiah Williams.
Our antient friend and Elder Jeremiah Wil-
liams came to rezide amongst us Recommended
from a Monthly Meeting of friends on Long Island
as an Honest Sober and orderly member of our
Religious Society in Unity and many years he Avas
a servisable member and a Diligent and Constant
attender of our meetings for Worship and Discip-
line, until he Suffer'd his mind to be too much
Cast Down imder the Thoughts of Some Disap-
pointments and Troubles he meet with. He did
not attend our Meetings So Constant as he had
heretofore Done but we have Good reason to
believe Some time before his Death he Witnessed
in a great measure an overcoming his former
Troubles and Exercises. He was a generous and
kind open Harted man in Entertaining Friends
and such as Travel abroad in the Service of Truth.
Some time before his Death he was attended with
many bodily afflictions, being helpless above too
years, which he bore with Great patience. Some-
times he would say conld I think I am like Job,
he l)eing atend with many ails ; often desiring to
be Deliver'd if it Avas the Lord's Will. He De-
parted thisXife at the House of his Son Benjamin
in Penna. with whom he had Liv'd for some
years, on the 15th. day of the 5th month 1766
aged 83 years wanting about one month and was
Decently buried in friends beurying Ground at
Kingwood.
Kingwood Monthly Meeting's Testimony
Concerning Mary Simcock.
This our antient Friend deceased Daring the
time she resided amongst us, which was upwards
of Thirty Years was a diligent attender of Meet-
ings both on First and other Days of the week, in
which she was a goo^l Example in patient waiting
on the Lord, to feel the Renewings of His divine
power. She had also a gift in the Ministery and
tlio not large in Testimony, yet faithf^^liy Laliour-
ing in the Ability received was edefying to those
whose Harts were prepared of the Lord to receive
His messengers tho small in appearance She was a
peaceable kind Neighbor, and well esteemed by
all and altho through Age and Infirmity of body
she was render'd incapable of attending Meetings
for some years before she died, yet she retained
her Love to truth and Friends, and we Doubt not
has made a happy Change, and now Enjoying the
Reward of her Labours in the Mansions of Eter-
nal Rest. The following is a brief memoral con-
23
cerning her, written by lier Husband John Simcock,
which we haveing Unity with, Subjoin. She was
daughter of Nicholas and Jane Wain of the North-
ern Liberties of tlie City of Phila. honest Friends
to whom she was obedient in her youth, and as
she grew in years she was Concern 'd to be a sensi-
ble witness of the operation of truth in her own
Heart, and keeping Carefully under this concern,
she was niaiiy times sweetly Comforted in spirit,
which Favour she prized above the Enjoyment of
earthly Treasure. She was likewise concerned
for the good of her fellow Mortals and after some
Keasonings in her own mind gave up to declare in
a publick manner what the Lord had done for
her Soul. Her testimony was well receiv'd after
which she frequently appeared in Publick as long
as she was of ability to attend Meetings, and when
her natural strength and faculties were much im-
pair'd it was evident that she still retain'd that
good part which had Ijeen her Earl}' choice, for
when several Friends of Kingwood Meeting came
to visit us a few Months before her Departure, in
time of our silent Avaiting she sat still and quiet
and after some Time sitting, appear'd in publick
Testimony in a solid sensiable manner, and in
supplication also, which plainly demonstrated,
that the Lord still favoured with his living pres-
ence, giving Strength and ability to her who had
really no strength of her own. She was a loving
faithfull wife, and a true Helpmeet in things that
pretain to the Interest of our Immortal Nature an
affectionate and Exemplary Mother, patient in
affliction of Body of Mind, and Departed quietly
without any apparent Illness 19th of the 5th.
month 1771 in the 85th year of her Age, as Min-
ister upwards of 50 years, and I have no Doubt
but that she is now in the Enjoyment of endless
Felicety, haveing received the Crown which the
Lord a Righteous Judge shall give to all those
who love his appearance and walk uprightly as
she did. John Simcock 2G-9-1771.
Kingwood Monthly Meeting's Testimony
Concerning our vVntient Friend and El-
der Richard Lundy. ^
He was the son of Richard and Jane Lundy of

man much Esteemed amongst Friends and others
being of a meek and Quiet Spirit Exemplary in
Life and Conversation and a patern of plainness
and humility, diligent in attending Meetings for
worship and Discipline duly observing the hour
Appointed and in Contribution for the Service
thereof, gave freely according to his ability he
often gave up to attend Monthly Quarterly and
Yearly Meetings with great willingness Even in
his Declining Years untill the Indisposition of his
wife rendered that servise impracticable, he was
an affectionate Husband a tender Father and Kind
friend Punctual and just in his Dealings among
men Evidencing to the world that he was Con-
cerned to do to others as he would have them do
to him. His house was freely open for those who
Travelling in the Work of the Ministery whose
Company he greatly valued and often ChearfuUy
Travel'd Avith Such as a gide to other meetings ;
he Lived in the fear of the Lord : and was much
Concern 'd that Love and unity might be obtained
among friends and Deeply aft'ected when anything
of a contrary Nature arose to obstruct it. In his
last Illness which was but short he intirely re-
fused the help of any Physition Signifying his
Resignation to the Divine will whether in life or
Death : and Continued in a patient frame of mind
when Sensible till his Departure, which was on
the 28th of 2d. month 1772 aged near 80 years :
antl altho our Loss is Great we are Comforted in
the hope That he is gone to inherit the Crown im-
mortal : which is laid up for all those who Love
and fear the Lord. He was Decently Buried in
friends Burying ground at Hardwick the 29th of
the same : attended by a large number of friends

A Testimony from the Monthly Meeting at
Kingwood Concerning John Simcock.
This our v^ntient friend and Elder John Sim-
cock was from the time of his coming to reside
among us which was upwards of thirty years : a
man of few words and a quiet inoffensive spirit,
which gained him the Love and Esteem of his
Friends and Neighbors : Very Patient in Afflic-
tion of which he had a large Shear, and Lob-
boured under the Infirmities attendant on old
age, with apparent Resignation of mind. Divers
times Espressing his freedom for Dissolution
.which he waited for, and hoped he should pa-
tiently wait the Lord's time that being the best
time. He was a Diligent attender of our Reli-
gious meetings both for NVorship and Discipline,
while of ability of Body being Exemplary therein,
in patient waiting and we have to believe he was
often Comforted therein having been heard to say
he did not attend meetings because others did,
but because he found a secret benefit in so doing.
In short we may say he was a Tender Husband
an affectionate Father, and Kind Neighbor and
not long before his Decease, bore a Testimony in
his Family against the Excessive use of Spiritous
liquors. He departed this Life the 23rd. of 4th
month 1773, in the 88tli year of his age, and was
24
Decently interred in friends Burying Ground at
King-wood aforcsixid.

his youth a man of a peaceable and Quiet spirit,
one who sincerely loved the truth and its faithful
followers, and being Concerned for many years to
live near unto, and witness the influence of the
Blessed principle which we profess, he btcame a
Diligent attender of our religious Meetings both
for worship and Discipline wherein he was a
patient humble waiter for the ariseing of Divine
Life wherelty he witnessed his Strength to be re-
newed, and often Expressed his satisfaction in so
attending. He was thus Enabled to Lead an
honest Circumspect Life, being a good E.Kamjile
among us, in maintaining our Christian Testi-
mony in its primitive simplicity, and altho he had
not a publick Testimony to bear, yet we Esteemed
him a preacher of Righteousness in his Life and
Conversation. He was a tender Husband an
Affectionate Father a Kind Neighbour and very
Charitable to the poor. Wherefore in great Love
to him, and Esteem for his memory we have
given this brief Testimony Concerning him.

tation of the Love of God ; and as she grew to
riper years, she was preserved in a good Decree of
circumspect Walking in his Fear, her Conversa-
tion being Serious, sensible and guarded ; and
often times her grave Deportment was useful as a
Check to her Companions. In the year 1757 she
was marryed to Isaac Horner, and tilled the Sta-
tion of a faithfull and prudent Wife and Mother.
In the beginning of the year 17G8 She appeared in
puVjlick as a Minister, her Testimony, being Short
and Lively, was generally well received. In the
year 1770 She removed with her husband & Fam-
ily to settle within the Compass of this Meeting,
and has since resided amongst us, to the time of
her Deceixse. Through the Influence of the Love
of God, shed abroad in her heart, by a life of un-
affected Piety and a godly Circomspection of Con-
duct and Conversation, she hath obtained a good
Report, not only amongst us with whom she was
joined in religious Communion, but also amongst
People of all ranks and religious Persuasions ;
being remarkable for her unreserved. Charitable
Openness and innocent Freedom of Deportment
towards all. In 1772 she had the Concurrence of
This Meeting in a Visit to some of the Meetings
in the Lower part of this Province ; and the suc-
ceeding Winter in visiting all the Families within
the Verge of this Monthly Meeting in Company
with sundry other Friends ; since which she has
visited all the Meetings and most, if not all the
Private Families belonging to the yearly ^Meeting
of Flushing ; in which she had good Service and
was generally well received, as Testifyed in a
Number of Certilicates Produced at her Return
She afterwards, in Company with Samuel East-
burn and others, visited a number of the Families
belonging to the Monthly meeting of Bucking-
ham. In 1775 she obtained a Minut of the Con-
cerrence of this Meeting, to visit the ]\Ieetings of
Friends along the Sea Shore, and in the lower Part
of this Province in which Service she caught a
sevear Cold, which brought on a pretty swift De-
cay ; under wliich She languised up wards of Eight
months, near half of which Time she nevertheless,
attended Meetings During her Indisposition, her
quiet Composure of Spirit, and cheerfull Resigna-
tion to the will of her heavenly Master was truly
edifying. She told a Friend who visited her not
long before her Departure that tho Death ap-
peared a dark Passiige, yet all was Light beyond
it. And to another, who bid her farewell at part-
ing, she said, I shall fare well when I am red of
this Body. And She was remarkably clear in her
underetandiiig and said, tho bodily weakness
prevailed, yet her Spirit felt no Dimunitiou of
Strength ; and Exhorted those about her to place
their Reliance on the Lord alone, a Confidence
Siiid she, in which I have never been disappointed.
The Evening before She was visibly struck with
Death, broke fourth into Expressions of Praise to
the Allmighty's and liumble acknowledgements
that he had to her, performed all his I'romise.s
and more ; had prepared and sanctifyed her and
brought her to that hour ; and that She should
praise him as long as she continued in the Body,
and at the Conclusion chearfuUy surrender Hus-
band and Children and all that he had given her,
again into his Hands. In or near her last Hour
she beckenoned her Hirsband to come and take his
25
last Farewell of her, and then, in a Composed
Whisper, said thou art a welcome Messenger —
thou art a wellcome, take me quickly. She dyed
on the 31st. Day of the 5th. month 1776 in the
40th year of her Age, and was buryed in Friends
Burying Ground, having been upwards of Eight
years a Minister. Signed in and on behalf of sd.

BEING PRESENT he seemed remarkably bright
and recollected about past transaction sand enter'd
into profitable connversation about serious mat-
ters which was a satisfaction to his Surviving
Friends after his Departure.
FRIENDS SUFFERINGS.
The following list of fines collected during the
Revolution seems to show that the collectors were
not specially moved with human kindness. There
was little equality between the amount of the fine
and the amount collected. If these records are
correct the victim of the collector was not always
the person who was fined.
The following is a brief Accot. of Friends Suffer-
ings Belong, to Kingwood, Preparative Meeting

SLAVERY IN NEW JERSEY.
The last papers in this Record Book illustrate a
peculiar phase of life which seems very strange to
us but which disappeared from New Jersey at a
later period than we are willing to admit.

He was reputed a very honest and worthy person.
It is greatly to be regretted that such things were

CERTIFICATES OF REMOVALS ETC.
The following certificates have been culled from
the Minutes. The date of certificate from King-
wood given is usually that of application. The last
column gives the Monthly Meeting to which the
member of Kingwood expects to go. The column
before the last gives the Monthly Meeting from
which the bearer comes to enter Kingwood; the
date of presentation to Kingwood M. M. is given.
A book of removals was kept, which is given, after
the year 1799. Hardwick having separated from
Kingwood the book contains only those who
removed from Kingwood. The other removals
from Hardwick and Mendham will be found in
the records of that meeting which are not acces-
sible to me.
