NOTE BY THE COMPILER. 
 
 It was just 20 years ago that I became especially interested to know 
 something of my ancestry. The related families were of course by that 
 time much scattered and the whereabouts of many unknown. I recall 
 that it was quite a while before I succeeded in locating my Uncle David 
 and Aunt Angeline, from whom nothing had been heard by us in the 
 East for many years ; and the information they could give was all im- 
 portant. I was fortunate in securing from my Aunt Patience an old copy 
 of Gilbert Tennent's Sermons (1758) containing the family record of John 
 Lamb and Patience Scull ; a little later and the book might have been 
 consigned to the waste basket. At intervals then for 20 years I have 
 worked at this compilation. Much time and much correspondence would 
 have been saved to me if the interest in the matter had not been confined 
 to so few persons. Only those who have done similar work, know and 
 appreciate the delays and disappointments that attend it. 
 
 The compilation itself indicates in places the sources of information, 
 but I want especially to mention the following as having taken a personal 
 interest in the matter although only very distantly related : Hon. John 
 Clement, Haddonfield, N. J. (now dead) ; Dr. Asa M. Stackhouse of 
 Maple Shade, N. J. ; Mr. Joel T. Rose of Tuckerton, N. J. ; and the most 
 valuable of all, Dr. J. W. White (also now dead), of the White Dental 
 Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia. 
 
 Much more research is necessary to make this compilation at all com- 
 plete ; but an unfortunate recent experience determined me to publish at 
 this time. The manuscript of the Matlacks was lost in some unknown 
 way ; a search everywhere failed to recover it. I felt that I could not 
 take any chance of farther losses and so have had this printed. I have 
 had to recompile the Matlack material. 
 
 One hundred copies have been printed for private distribution and deposit 
 in a few libraries. At some time in the future it may be possible to publish 
 a more complete work, illustrated too with the portraits of loved ones 
 who have passed over to the great majority. In the meantime the com- 
 piler tenders his thanks to all who have assisted him, bespeaks a kind 
 indulgence for the faults that will be found in the work, and will be 
 pleased to receive any information that will help to make the work 
 correct and complete.

INTRODUCTION. V 
 
 INTRODUCTION'. 
 
 The genealogy of Daniel S. Lamb and others includes, 
 on the paternal side, the names of Bates, Clement, Collins, 
 Ellis, Furguson, Hancock, Horner, Huddleston, Lamb, 
 Matlack, Mayham, and Scull. On the maternal side, Car- 
 withy, Cranmer, Devinney, Duckworth, Howard, Ireland, 
 Morse, Owen, Rose, Smith, Stout, and Van Princess. 
 
 Most of these families are of English origin, some are 
 Irish, and one Dutch. The names appear among those of 
 the early settlers of the province of New Jersey, some 
 coming to the province from Connecticut and Long Island. 
 As all of them lived in New Jersey, some knowledge of the 
 earlv historv of the State is necessarv to better understand 
 their history. Many of them belonged to the Society of 
 Friends, and some came from the mother country because 
 of persecution on account of their religion. 
 
 The name Delaware was given to the river and bay of 
 that name in honor of Lord De La War, who made a vovag-e 
 to Virginia in 1610. Delawar bay is mentioned by Capt. 
 Argal in a letter from Virginia in May, 161 2 (see Purchas. 
 Mulford's Hist. New Jersey, 1848, p. 33). Cape May was 
 named after Cornelis Jacobsen Mey, who commanded a 
 Dutch merchant ship for the New World in 1614 (Mulford, 
 p. 39). Perhaps the first' settlement in New Jersey was 
 between 161 7 and 1620, at Bergen, in the neighborhood of 
 the Esopus Indians (Gordon's History, p. 7 ; Mulford, p. 41). 
 
 In 1623 an expedition was sent out by the West India 
 Company (Dutch) under command of Mey. It ascended 
 the Delaware river (called by them South river, as they 
 called the Hudson the North river) for several leagues, and 
 selected a place on the eastern bank called by the natives 
 Techaacho near the mouth of the Sassachon, which was 
 the most northerly branch of a stream afterwards called 
 Gloucester river or Timber creek. It was near the site of 
 the present Gloucester. The Dutch built a fort and called 
 it Fort Nassau. (Smith's History of New Jersey ; Mul- 
 
Vi INTRODUCTION. 
 
 ford ; Miekle's Reminiscences.) This was in the reign of 
 Charles I of England, who, on learning of this action of 
 the Dutch, gave a commission to Sir Edmund Ployden to 
 plant (as the expression was) the parts immediately be- 
 tween Maryland and New England. May 5, 1630, the 
 Dutch bought from nine resident chiefs of Indians a tract 
 of land at Cape May, 16 miles long and broad, a square 
 of 64 miles. It was bought by Peter Heyser, skipper of 
 the ship " Whale." It is the first recorded purchase from 
 the Indians of New Jersey. 
 
 About the year 1633 a small party of English, com- 
 manded by Capt. Holmes, went from Connecticut to the 
 vicinity of Fort Nassau to settle, but were arrested by the 
 Dutch and sent as prisoners to Manhattan. (O'Callaghan, 
 p. 170; Mulford, p. 64.) June 21, 1634, Charles I granted 
 to Ployden, knight, and certain associates, the tract above 
 mentioned. In 1641 Ployden conducted a company to the 
 province. They built a fort on the Delaware, near the 
 mouth of the Penisaukin creek, and called it Eriwoneck ; 
 it was held during Ployden's stay in the province. About 
 1641, also, a company went from the New Haven colony 
 and settled on a small stream called Varcken's kill (other- 
 wise Hog creek, now Salem creek), not far from the Dela- 
 ware river. The company consited of nearly fifty families. 
 The vessel belonged to one Lamberton, a merchant of New 
 Haven ; Robert Coggswell was commander. 
 
 The Swedes also bought land from the mouth of the 
 Delaware river (which they called New Swedeland stream) 
 to a point above the English settlement at Varcken's Kill, 
 namely, from Cape May to the Narriticon or Raccoon 
 creek. The purchase was made by the Swedish Navigation 
 Company. A fort was built by L,t. Col. John Printz (who 
 had been appointed Governor of " New Sweden " as all 
 the territory occupied by the Swedes w 7 as called), soon after 
 his arrival ; it was on the south side of Salem creek near 
 the Delaware river ; called Fort Elfsborg ; afterwards from 
 the number of mosquitoes, called Myggenborg or Muskee- 
 toeburgh. The name is preserved as Elsingborg or Elsing- 
 borough, a township in the vicinity (Smith and Mulford). 
 Keift, the Dutch governor at New Amsterdam (New York), 
 sent an armed vessel which burnt the English trading 
 houses and seized and detained their goods for some time. 
 
INTRODUCTION. Vll 
 
 The Swedes aided the Dutch in this dispossession. (Foot- 
 note, Smith, p. 24; Mulford; Hazard's Register, Vol I, p. 
 
 17.) 
 
 In the summer of 1655 Peter Stuyvesant, then governor 
 
 of New Amsterdam, came up the Delaware river (called 
 
 also the Charles river) with a fleet, landed at Klsingborg and 
 
 took some Swedes prisoners ; continued up the river and 
 
 took the other Swedish forts. 
 
 March 12, 1663-4, Charles II gave a patent of land to his 
 brother James, Duke of York and Albany, which included 
 New Jersey. An expedition was sent out the same year to 
 reduce the Dutch to the English authority ; Colonel Rich- 
 ard Nicolls in command of the land forces; Carre, of the 
 sea forces. The expedition was successful and without 
 bloodshed. Three commissioners had been appointed by 
 the Duke to constitute a temporary government : Nicolls, 
 George Cartwright and Samuel Maverick ; Nicolls was 
 deputy governor (Smith, pp. 35 to 46). There was also a 
 council ; the seat of government at New York. 
 
 September 30, 1664, Nicollsgranted permission to a part v 
 to take up land ; they were Job Bailey, Daniel Denton and 
 Luke Watson ; they bought from the Indians a tract called 
 the Elizabethtown tract. April 8, 1665, Nicolls made 
 another grant, called the Monmouth patent, which was the 
 foundation of the settlement of Middleton and Shrewsbury 
 (Mulford). May 21, 1666, a number of those residing in 
 Connecticut settled near Elizabethtown and the town plots 
 on Passaic river (Mulford). 
 
 In the meantime, namely, June 23 and 24, 1664, the 
 Duke of York sold to John Lord Berkely, baron of Strat- 
 tou and one of the King's Privy Council, and to Sir George 
 Carteret of Sattrum, county of Devon, knight, and also one 
 of the Privy Council, so much of the Dnke's patent west of 
 Long Island and Manhattans as was bounded as follows : 
 East by the sea and part of Hudson's river ; west by Dela- 
 ware bay and river ; south to the main ocean as far as Cape 
 May ; north as far as the northernmost branch of said bay 
 or river Delaware, that is, latitude 41 ° 40'; thence crossing 
 in a straight line to the Hudson river. (This northern line 
 is now changed.) This tract was to be called Nova Cesaria 
 or New Jersey, in honor of Carteret, who was once governor 
 of the Island of Jersey. The two lords proprietors, as they 
 
Vlll INTRODUCTION. 
 
 were called, were to have all the rivers, mines, woods, fish- 
 ings, hawkings, huntings, and fowlings, and all other roy- 
 alties, profits, commodities and hereditaments. 
 
 Berkely and Carteret prepared certain concessions and 
 agreements to and with the adventurers and others who 
 should settle there. (For these concessions, etc., see 
 Smith's History, Appendix, p. 512 to 521.) These con- 
 cessions were so well liked that the eastern part of the 
 province was soon considerably peopled. This, too, was 
 the first constitution of New Jersey. Berkely and Carteret 
 appointed Philip Carteret Governor of New Jersey. He 
 arrived in August, 1665, in company with a number of 
 other persons (Smith, p. 63). They landed at a place to 
 which they gave the name of Elizabeth, in honor of the 
 wife of Sir George Carteret. May 26, 1668, the first legis- 
 lative assembly of New Jersey met at Elizabethtown. 
 
 In 1672 it was agreed that all lauds should first be bought 
 from the Indians and that the settlers should reimburse the 
 proprietors. The same year war broke out between Eng- 
 land and Holland, and a Dutch squadron sailed to the 
 colonies and rapidly reduced New York and New Jersey. 
 February 9, 1674, a treaty of peace was concluded between 
 the hostile nations ; the sixth article provided that what- 
 ever lands, towns or forts had been reciprocally taken since 
 the beginning of the war should be restored to their former 
 possessors (Smith, p. 68 ; Mulford, p. 158). 
 
 June 29, 1674, Charles II renewed the grant of land he 
 had made to James, the Duke of York. July 29 James re- 
 newed his grant to Carteret, giving him the east half of the 
 province (Mulford, p. 160). The limits are stated, and in- 
 clude much more than half the province (Mulford, p. 161). 
 At the same time James sent Edmond Andross as governor 
 of New York and New Jersey. At about the same time 
 Philip Carteret was returned by Carteret and Berkely to the 
 governorship of New Jersey, so that there was at once a 
 conflict of authority. A general assembly of the province 
 was summoned and the session began November 5, 1674. 
 
 March [8, 1673, Berkely sold his part of the province to 
 John Fenwick in trust for Edward Byllinge, for 1,000 
 pounds (Smith, pp. 78 and So; Mulford, p. i6.j, et seq.). A 
 difference having arisen between Byllinge and Fenwick, it 
 was settled by assigning, February 10, 1674, nine-tenths of 
 
INTRODUCTION. IX 
 
 the west part of the province to three trustees, William 
 Penn, Cawen Lawrie, and Nicholas Lucas ; the remaining 
 tenth to Fenwiek. The latter now borrowed money from 
 John Eldridge and Edmund Warner, and gave them a lease 
 of his portion. He sailed from London in the ship '"Grif- 
 fith"' and landed at a place which he called " Salem." With 
 him came others, among whom were Richard Guy, Richard 
 Hancock, John Smith and wife, and John Matlock. This 
 is said to have been the first English ship that came to New 
 Jersey. Fenwiek bought from the Indians the land includ- 
 ing what are now the counties of Salem and Cumberland. 
 Trouble arose between Fenwiek and Andross ; a conflict of 
 authority. Fenwiek was arrested, taken to New York and 
 temporarily detained there. Eldridge and Warner, his 
 lessees, now conveyed Fenwick's portion to the three trus- 
 tees above named. 
 
 The province of New Jersey was, therefore, July i, 1676, 
 divided into East and West jersey. The partition was as 
 follows : Carteret's was East Jersey, separated from West 
 Jersey by a line beginning at the east side of Little Egg 
 Harbor and running straight north through the country to 
 the utmost branch of the Delaware river. The proprietors, 
 freeholders, and inhabitants of West Jersey, March 3, 1676, 
 had published over their signatures certain concessions and 
 agreements. The long list of signatures included those of 
 Francis Collins, Richard Guy, John Smith, and Godfrey 
 Hancock. (The concessions and agreements are found in 
 Smith's History, Appendix, pp. 521 to 539). The pur- 
 chasers of land were to pay 1 y 2 pence per acre. 
 
 The rights of John Fenwiek were affected by this divi- 
 sion and the subsequent arrangements of the three trustees 
 of West Jersey. These allowed Fenwiek 10 parts in 100, 
 themselves retaining the remaining 90 parts. Three com- 
 missioners were appointed by the trustees and creditors for 
 the West Jersey Division, namely, Richard Hartshorne, 
 James Wasse, and Richard Guy. It is recorded that as 
 Was'se would return to England the next year, and Richard 
 Guy, though an honest man, was liable to be overreached 
 by Fenwiek, Hartshorne should be especially vigilant, and 
 that the next year more commissioners would be sent. (See 
 A. Learning and J. Spicer's grants, concessions, etc.; pub- 
 lished before 1765.) 
 
X INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Among the buyers of land in West Jersey were two com- 
 panies, one composed of Yorkshire " Friends," the other of 
 London " Friends ;" the former were creditors of Byllinge 
 and received as their pay 10 of the 90 parts. In 1677 they 
 appointed nine commissioners for West Jersey, among whom 
 were Benjamin Scott and Richard Guy, the latter of whom 
 had already come in 1675 ; the other eight came in 1677 in 
 the ship " Kent," Gregory Marlowe, master ; it was the 
 second ship to come from England to West Jersey. There 
 were about 230 passengers, most of them Friends ; some 
 had good estates in England. The ship stopped at Sandy 
 Hook to pay respect to Governor Andross, of New York, who 
 represented the Duke of York. Andross at first objected to 
 permitting them to occupy the land, but compromised the 
 matter bv reappointing the same commissioners. The ship 
 then sailed for the Delaware river and landed about Raccoon 
 creek, near the site of the present Swedesborough, where 
 the Swedes had some scattered habitations. The commis- 
 sioners appointed by Wm. Penn and the other proprietors 
 went on to a place called Chygoes Island (after the Indian 
 sachem who lived there). It is not quite an island, but is 
 partly cut off by the Assinpunck creek. The commissioners 
 bought three tracts from the Indians ; one from Timber 
 creek to Rankokas creek, date of deed September 10, 1677 5 
 a second, from Oldman's creek to Timber creek, September 
 27 ; a third, from Rankokas creek to Assinpunck creek, Oc- 
 tober 10. The list of goods with which payment was made 
 is interesting reading. They laid out a town and called it 
 New Beverley, then Bridlington, and soon afterwards 
 changed it to Burlington. Some passengers from W'ickaco 
 arrived in the latter end of October. During the winter 
 the people lived in wigwams. 
 
 The next ship was the " Willing Mind," John Newcomb, 
 commander. It brought 60 to 70 passengers from London 
 and landed at Elsinburgh. Some of them went to Salem, 
 others to Burlington The same year another boat, 
 11 Martha," came from Hull, England, with 114 passengers, 
 arriving the latter part of the summer of 1678 ; among the 
 passengers were Richard Dungworth and Thomas Ellis. 
 
 il Many that came as servants succeeded better than some 
 that brought estates ; the first, inured to industry and the 
 ways of the country, became wealth)- ; while the others, 
 
INTRODUCTION. XI 
 
 obliged to spend what they had in the difficulties of first 
 improvements, and others living too nnieli on their original 
 stock, for want of sufficient care to improve their estates, 
 have, in many instances, dwindled to indigency and want." 
 
 October, 1678, arrived the ship "Shield" from Hull, 
 Daniel Towers, commander, and lauded at Burlington. 
 Among the passengers were Godfrey Hancock, wife, chil- 
 dren and servants. The same year a ship from London 
 arrived. Some settled at Salem, others at Burlington. 
 
 August 16, 1680, the Duke of York granted anew the 
 West Jersey portion to Byllinge el a/, to settle the ques- 
 tion of jurisdiction (Mulford, p. 191). November 9, 1681, 
 the fundamentals of government of the Province of West 
 Tersev were favorably agreed on. 
 
 The Indian tribes, for the most part, had the same names 
 of the creeks or other noted places near which they dwelt. 
 
 In 1682 a large ship with 360 passengers arrived and 
 landed between Philadelphia and Burlington on the Jersey 
 shore. 
 
 Among the members of the Assembly that met this year 
 were Godfrey Hancock, Richard Hancock and Richard 
 Guy. Among the justices was Richard Hancock, from Sa- 
 lem. 
 
 Sir George Carteret having died in 1679, the province of 
 East Jersey was sold to settle his estate. It was bought by 
 twelve proprietors ; the number was afterwards increased to 
 twenty-four. They at once published an account of the 
 province (See Smith's History, Appendix, pp. 539 to 546). 
 The plan proposed by them was popular and many settlers 
 came, especially from Scotland. The Duke of York made 
 a fresh grant of the land to the twenty-four proprietors, 
 March 14, 1682. The townships chiefly settled were 
 Shrewsbury near Sandy Hook, Middletown and Wood- 
 bridge. 
 
 March 1, 16S2, an assembly of the Province of East Jer- 
 sey was called at Elizabeth. Among other things, four 
 counties were determined: Bergen, Essex, Middlesex and 
 Monmouth. 
 
 In 1683 Richard Guy was a justice and Francis Collins 
 a commissioner. 
 
 The twenty-four proprietors of East Jersey appointed 
 Robert Barclay, one of their number, Governor July 17, 
 
Xll INTRODUCTION. 
 
 1683. In 1685 Lord Neil Campbell, uncle to the Duke of 
 Argyle, succeeded Barclay. In 1698 Sir Thomas Lane was 
 appointed. 
 
 The proprietors of Burlington County, February 12, 
 1687, including Francis Collins and William Bate, 
 and those of Gloucester County, including Francis Col- 
 lins, in order to avoid the need of all of them meeting 
 together, for the transaction of business, agreed to elect 
 yearly eleven of their number for this purpose (Appendix 
 to Smith, xvii, p. 555). 
 
 September 5, 1688, on account of differences having 
 arisen in regard to the line of division between East and 
 West Jersey, an agreement was made between the respective 
 governors (Appendix to Smith, No. iv, pp. 546 to 550 ; ap- 
 pendix v, pp. 551 to 554 ; and appendix vi, pp. 554 and 
 
 555)- 
 
 In 1 69 1 the government of West Jersey was conveyed to 
 
 the West Jersey Society, consisting of a large number of 
 persons, among whom was one John Lamb. The proprie- 
 tors approved this change. 
 
 The dissensions, however, in both East and W T est Jersey 
 brought about a surrender of the government of East and 
 West Jersey April 15, 1702, to Queen Anne (see appendix 
 to Smith, viii to xiv). In this surrender the name of 
 Francis Handcock appears for the East division, and 
 Thomas Lamb and Joseph Collins for the West. Edward 
 Hyde, called Lord Cornbury, grandson to the great Chan- 
 cellor Clarendon, was appointed governor. He arrived in 
 August, 1703. Among the names of the first members of 
 the council that of John Smith for the Western Division 
 appears. He was also a member of the Assembly which 
 met November 13, 1704. 
 
 Francis Collins was of those who were elected com- 
 missioners by the proprietors in 1706. Joseph Collins 
 appears among the signers of the complaint of the proprie- 
 tors residing in England to the lords commissioners of 
 trade and plantations in 1707. 
 
 Isaac Still, Indian Chief, claimed the land from the 
 mouth of Great Egg Harbor river to the head branches of 
 the same on the east side, to the road that leads to Great 
 Egg Harbor and along the road to the seaside, except 
 Tuckahoe, Summer's, Steelman's and Skull's places.

COLLINS. 
 
 EDWARD COLLINS. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 The genealogy of Collins begins with Edward Collins 
 
 (Clement, p. 71), who was born , at . He 
 
 owned a large landed estate and personal property in ( >x- 
 
 fordshire, England. Married Mary . Died -. 
 
 His wife survived him and controlled the estate. His 
 children were : Francis, Elisabeth and, perhaps, others. 
 
 FRANCIS COLLINS. 
 
 SECOND ( i E N E R ATION. 
 
 Francis Collins (Clement, p. 71 et seq.\ son of Edward 
 and Man- Collins, was born January 6, 1635, in Oxford- 
 shire, England. He was apprenticed to a bricklayer, and 
 afterwards removed to Loudon, where he became a 
 " Friend." 
 
 In 1663, he married Sarah Mayham, at the "Bull 
 and Mouth" meeting of Friends. (Sarah Mayham came to 
 New Jersey with her husband and children ; died between 
 1682 and 1686.) 
 
 He settled at Ratliff, Parish of Stepney, County of Mid- 
 dlesex, which was within the built-up part of London. 
 Was living here January 25, 1675; at Ratliff Cross, next 
 door to the Ship Tavern, as shown by his account book. 
 This book contains many curious things, written in a style 
 now hard to decipher ; the names and births of his children 
 by his first wife (Sarah); names of persons with whom he 
 had business relations ; account of money paid him for re- 
 building in 1675 the Friends' meeting house at Stepney, 
 which had been destroyed several years previously by a mob. 
 The book also shows that he was a bricklayer and builder 
 and kept a store. 
 
 He was fined and imprisoned for his adherence to the 
 Friends. His mother and sister Elizabeth both disap- 
 proved of his being a Friend, as shown by their wills. 
 
 A deed was made in 1677 by the trustees of Edward 
 Byllvnge to Francis Collins, of' Ratliff, of the Parish of 
 
2 COLLINS. 
 
 Stepney, County of Middlesex, bricklayer ; Richard Mew, 
 of Ratliff, merchant, and John Bull, of London, merchant, 
 for certain shares or parts of shares of propriety. The deed 
 says that Byllynge owed Collins 200 pounds, Mew 100 
 pounds and Bull 50 pounds ; and this conveyance of real 
 estate in New Jersey was to discharge the debts. (Lib. 
 B. 2, 681.) 
 
 Probably because of this deed and the disabilities under 
 which the Friends labored, he came to America ; probably 
 in 1680. For two years afterwards his movements are un- 
 certain. The first taking up of land by him was October 
 23, 1682. He located 500 acres in Newton township, 
 bounded on the west side by the King's road ; on this land 
 part of the village of Haddonfield now (1877) stands 
 (Revel's book, p. 39). On October 25th he made another 
 and adjoining survey of 450 acres, lying on the southwest 
 side of the first and extending to the south branch of New- 
 ton's creek (Lib. G2, 25). Perhaps no better selection of 
 soil and situation could have been made. To secure a 
 landing, he made a survey, of 117 acres, bounded -on the 
 north side by Cooper's creek ; most of which is now (1877) 
 owned by John E. Hopkins and Joseph C. Stoy (Lib. GH, 
 360). Collins sold this survey to Richard Gray, whose son 
 John conveyed it to Ebenezer Hopkins in 1746. 
 
 Collins built his house on the hill south of the village, 
 where formerly resided John Gill. He called the place 
 " Mountwell." Now (1877) the Mountwell estate is divided 
 among many owners. His residence was isolated ; about 
 5 miles from the little village of Newton ; there were no in- 
 termediate settlements ; for 18 years afterwards there were, 
 according to the map of Thomas Sharp, only five houses 
 between Mountwell and Newton. The present Salem road 
 was then only a bridle path. His house was probably only 
 a wigwam ; and the wigwams of the Indians were in the 
 neighborhood. 
 
 In 1682 he built the first Friends' meeting house in Bur- 
 lington. 
 
 In 1683 he built the market house and court room at 
 Burlington, receiving therefor from the Legislature 200 
 pounds and 1,000 acres of land. The same year he was 
 elected a member of the Assembly to represent the third 
 tenth. At this session he was appointed one of the com- 
 
COLLINS. 
 
 missioners for dividing and regulating land. In the diffi- 
 culty between the Proprietors and Edward Byllinge about 
 the government having passed with the fee to the soil, he 
 was one of the committee to adjust the matter among those 
 interested (Learning and Spicer's Laws). The matter was 
 not settled until the surrender of 1701, when all the rights 
 of the government were given to the queen. 
 
 March 11, 1683, Samuel Jennings was elected Governor 
 and appointed Francis Collins one of his council. 
 
 In 1684 he was reelected to the Assembly from the third 
 tenth. At this session he was made one of the judges of 
 the several courts of that division of West Jersev, it being 
 before the bounds of Gloucester County were defined and 
 settled. This year he sold to John Kay 100 acres from the 
 north side of north branch of Cooper's creek, adjoining a 
 tract which he afterwards sold to Simeon Hi. lis in 1691 
 (Lib. A, 01, Gloucester deeds ; Basse's book, 236 ; Clement, 
 
 p. 168). 
 
 In 1685 he was appointed one of the commissioners to 
 lay out highways ; the Indian trails were generally adopted 
 for roads. 
 
 May 28, 1686, the proprietors, freeholders and inhabi- 
 tants of the third and fourth tenths agreed to call that ter- 
 ritorv the county of Gloucester. In September, the first 
 court was held "at Arwamus (now Gloucester). Francis 
 Collins was one of the judges and so continued for several 
 years, discharging his duties to the satisfaction of the peo- 
 ple. His name appears as one of the judges for Gloucester 
 County and participating in its business even after the date 
 of his removal to Burlington County in 168-. 
 
 In 1687, October 1st, he sold 20 acres of land to George 
 Goldsmith (Clement, p. 68). In 1691 (Clement, p. 317) he 
 sold a large tract to Thomas Atkinson (Lib. Gi, 01). In 
 1697 (Clement, p. 267) he sold 170 acres in Gloucester, now 
 Center, township, to John Hillman (Lib. C, 15). In 1689 
 (Clement, p. 170) he sold land to Thomas Shable. In 1705 
 (Clement, p. 235) he sold to John MaTlack 200 acres 
 in Waterford township. In 1720 (See p. 253) he sold 200 
 acres to Samuel Shivers (Lib. T5, Woodbury). 
 
 He was a public man. He was one of the leading mem- 
 bers of the Newton meeting, then the only place of public 
 worship in that region. He was one of the five judges 
 
4 COLLINS. 
 
 who signed the license for the ferry between Jersey and 
 Philadelphia in 1689 (Clement, pp. 94 and 95). He was 
 the host of Elizabeth Haddon, when she came from Eng- 
 land in 1 70 1 after the death of her father. Mrs. Maria 
 Child has made her the heroine in " Youthful Emigrant v 
 (Clement, pp. 114 to 117). 
 
 Francis Collins was married (Clement p. 387) a second 
 time about December 21, 1686, to Mary Goslin, or Gosling, 
 at the Burlington meeting (Lib. B2, 572). He then re- 
 moved to Northampton township, Burlington county, where 
 he spent the rest of his life. In consequence of the second 
 marriage, the homestead on which his son Joseph, as the 
 heir by entail, had settled, became involved in a trust to 
 Robert Dimsdale and John Budd, for the use of such chil- 
 dren as might issue from this marriage (Lib. A, 76). This 
 was done to guard against the operation of the law. This 
 trust was defeated in 17 16 (Lib. B2, 572), when Francis 
 Collins and his (second) wife and the trustees conveyed 
 Mountwell to Joseph in fee. In 1717, the children by the 
 second marriage released all their right in the same to their 
 elder brother (Basse's book, 138). 
 
 In 1695 Francis Collins conveyed to his daughter, Pris- 
 cilla (Clement, p. 80), and her husband John Hugg, a tract 
 of land lying south of Haddonfield and bounding on Little 
 Timber creek (Lib. A, 183). In 1704, he conveyed to 
 his daughter, Rebecca, and her husband, Thomas Briant, 
 a tract of land containing 400 acres, situated in the forks 
 of Timber creek, a short distance west of Chew's landing 
 (Clement, p. 79). 
 
 Francis Collins made his will in 1720 (see Burlington 
 County files), a short time before his death. 
 
 Sarah Collins, the first wife, died soon after the settle- 
 tlement in New Jersey, leaving behind her six children : 
 Joseph ; Sarah, married Dr. Robert Dimsdale of Chatteris, 
 Cambridgeshire, England, in 1713; Rebecca, married 
 Thomas Briant, in 1698; Priscilla, married John Hugg; 
 Margaret, married Elias Hugg, and Elizabeth, married 
 Josiah Southwick. 
 
 The daughters were more than ordinarily educated, hav- 
 ing 'obtained their education in the mother country (Cle- 
 ment, p. 75). 
 
 A copy of the census of the Northampton township tor

 1709, preserved by the Historical Society of New Jersey, 
 shows the following : " Francis Collins, age 74 ; Mary Col- 
 lins (his wife), age 44 ; John Collins, age 17 ; Francis Col- 
 lins, age 15 ; Mary Collins, age 11 ; Samuel Collins, age 9." 
 These, then, were the children by his second marriage. 
 
 JOSEPH COLLINS. 
 
 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 Joseph Collins (Clement, p. 78 et seq.) ) was the only 
 
 son of Francis and Sarah Collins ; was born , probably 
 
 in London, England. Came with his parents to New Jer- 
 sey, probably in 1680. Settled on the homestead farm and 
 remained there all his life. 
 
 In 1698 he married Catharine Huddleston, of Mans- 
 field, Burlington County, N. J. (Nothing more is known 
 of her). 
 
 Herewith is a deed of sale of a slave to which Joseph 
 Collins' name appears as witness : 
 
 " Know all men by these presents, that I, John Hugg, of 
 Gloucester county, New Jersey, for and in the consideration 
 of the sum of thirty-five pounds to me paid by John Hinch- 
 man, of the same place, before the ensealing and delivery 
 of these presents the receipt whereof is hereby acknow- 
 ledged ; have bargained, sold, and by these presents do bar- 
 gain and sell unto the said John Hinchman a certain negro 
 boy named Sambo, aged 10 years next March or May as is 
 said. To have and to hold the said negro boy by these 
 presents bargained and sold unto the said John Hinchman, 
 his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever. 
 And I, the said John Hugg, for myself, my executors and 
 administrators, the said negro boy bargained and sold unto 
 the said John Hinchman, against me the said John Hugg 
 and against all and every other person whatsoever claiming 
 or pretending to claim any right or property thereunto, 
 shall and will warrant and forever defend. 
 
 " In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my seal, this 
 the third day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand 
 seven hundred and nine, 1709. John Hugg. Sealed and 
 delivered in presence of Thomas Sharp, Joseph Collins." 
 (Clement, p. 242).

 Joseph died in 1741 (Lib. No. 4, 294). He left the 
 following children (Lib. No. 8, 395) : Benjamin, who mar- 
 ried, in 1735, Ann Hedger of Gloucester County by license, 
 (Clement, p. 414) ; Sarah, who married Simeon Ellis, 
 (Clement, p. 56 and 184); Catharine, who, in 1722, mar- 
 ried Thomas Ellis (See p. 56 and 184) ; and Rebecca, who 
 married Samuel Clement.

 GREGORY CLEMENT. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 The family of Clement (See Clement's " Early Newton 
 Settlers," p. 267, et seq.) is extensive in England, and can 
 be traced back to the tenth century, down through the va- 
 rious political and religions changes that have occurred in 
 the nation in that time. The wife of William Perm was 
 one of the branches. She had an uncle Simon Clement. 
 (See Historical Society, Pennsylvania.) 
 
 The present genealogical history begins with Gregory 
 Clement. Rev. Mark Noble, in his "Lives of the Regi- 
 cides," Vol. I, p. 145, says of Gregory Clement: "It is 
 probable he was a cadet of a knightly family in Kent, and 
 that Major William Clement, in the London Militia, was 
 his son." (See also Ludlow's narrative, and Stiles' " Lives 
 of the Regicides.") 
 
 Gregory Clement was born at . He was a 
 
 citizen of London ; merchant, and trader with Spain. He 
 was chosen a Member of Parliament about 1646 and dis- 
 charged the trust with great diligence ; always joined with 
 those who were most affectionate to the Commonwealth, 
 but never had any profitable office. He was appointed one 
 of the commissioners for the trial of King Charles I. He 
 did not dare refuse. He was not eloquent, but had good 
 judgment. He sat on the trial January 8, 22, 23 and 29, 
 1648. He was expelled from Parliament for some misde- 
 meanor. He did not return until after Cromwell's death. 
 The government of Charles II sought out the judges of 
 Charles I, to try and punish them. Clement secreted him- 
 self in a house near Gray's Inn ; but suspicion was aroused 
 by the fact that better food was taken to the house than 
 seemed suitable to so lowly a habitation. He was discov- 
 ered and arrested May 26, 1660. There was much diffi- 
 culty in identifying him until a blind man heard him speak 
 and said : "That is Gregory Clement ; I know his voice." 
 
 The account of the trial of Clement, and the other regi- 
 cides, is given in Mr. Cobbett's " State Trials." The trial 
 began at Hick's Hall, Old Bailey, in the County of Middle- 
 
8 CLEMENT. 
 
 sex, October 9, 1660. He was indicted by the Grand Jury. 
 The charge was as follows : " Clerk. — Gregory Clement, 
 hold up your hand. How sayest thou ? Art thou guilty 
 of the treason whereof thou standest indicted, and for which 
 thou art now arraigned ? — or not guilty?" "Clement. — 
 My Lord, I cannot excuse myself in many particulars ; but 
 as to my indictment as there it is, I plead not guilty." 
 "Clerk. — How will you be tried?" "Clement. — By God 
 and the country." "Clerk. — God send you a good deliver- 
 ance." Near the close of the 4th day's proceedings Clement 
 was again brought to the bar. This time he retracted the 
 plea of not guilty. Sir Orlando Bridgman, Lord Chief 
 Baron and president of the court then asked him as follows : 
 " Baron. — If you do confess your offense, your petition will 
 be read." " Clement. — I do, my Lord." " Baron. — If you 
 do confess (that you may understand it), you must, when you 
 are called (and when the jury are to be charged), you must 
 say, if you will have it go by way of confession, that you 
 may waive your former plea and confess the fact." "Clerk. — 
 Gregory Clement, you have been indicted of high treason, 
 for compassing and imagining the death of his late Majesty, 
 and you have pleaded not guilty ; are you content to waive 
 your plea and confess it ? " "Clement. — I do confess my- 
 self to be guilty, my lord." "Clerk. — Set him aside." 
 
 The sentence was as follows : " That you be led back to 
 the place from whence you came, and from thence to be 
 drawn upon a hurdle to the place of execution ; and there 
 you shall be hanged by the neck, and, being alive, shall be 
 cut down, and * * , your entrails to be taken out of 
 
 your body, and you (living) the same to be burnt before 
 your eyes ; and your head to be cut off, your body to be 
 divided into four quarters, and head and quarters to be dis- 
 posed of at the pleasure of the King's Majesty — and the 
 Lord have mercy on your soul." It is said that Clement 
 was very quiet both during his imprisonment at Newgate 
 and at the time of his execution. To friends in prison he 
 expressed his trouble for yielding to the importunities of 
 relatives and pleading guilty. He said but little at the 
 place of execution, but, so far as could be judged by some 
 discerning persons near him, he died peacefully. The sen- 
 tence was executed at Charing Cross. Clement and Thomas 
 Scot were taken on the same sled to the scaffold, and exe- 
 
CLEMENT. 9 
 
 cuted as sentenced, in the presence of an immense throng 
 of spectators. 
 
 His estate was confiscated and his family became scat- 
 tered. He probably had at least three sons, Major William 
 Clement, referred to above, Jacob Clement and JAMES 
 Clement. 
 
 JAMES CLEMENT. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 James Clement (Clement's book, p. 271), son of Greg- 
 ory Clement, was born at in England, prob- 
 ably in London. He married Jane . In 1670 they 
 
 emigrated to Long Island. Apparently he was poor, for 
 in the valuation of estates in Flushing, where he lived in 
 1675, he was rated with 4 acres of land, 3 cows, 2 young 
 cattle and 2 pigs (Doc. Hist, of N. Y., Vol. II, p. 263). 
 It is probable that he was a Friend. In 1695, when the 
 Friends meeting house was built at Flushing, James Clem- 
 ent prepared and recorded the deed for the lot 011 which 
 the house was built and was paid n shillings and 4 pence. 
 He also did some work about the building, receiving a 
 small pittance. All of this appears among the papers of 
 the Society. 
 
 In 1702 he was one of the grand jury of Queen's County 
 that was directed in the charge of the court to find bills of 
 indictment against Samuel Bownas, an eminent Quaker 
 preacher (Thompson's History of Long Island). The 
 jury refused to indict him, and much controversy followed 
 between the judge, Lord Cornbury, and jury. 
 
 James Clement was somewhat of a public man in the af- 
 fairs of the county where he lived, and appears to have 
 discharged his duties acceptably. His first wife, Jane 
 
 , died. James married a second time, Sarah, the 
 
 daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Field. James and 
 his wife Sarah both died in 1724. 
 
 His will was dated May 5, 1724. 
 
 His children (Lib. D.D., 449) were as follows: Jam< 
 born 1670, married Sarah Hinchman ; Sarah, born 1672, 
 married (2d wife) William Hall, of Salem County, (Thomas 
 Hinchman (?), p. 248); Thomas, born 1674; John, born 
 1676; Jacob, born 1678, married Ann Harrison, daughter

 of Samuel Harrison ; Joseph, born 1681 ; MERCY, born 1683, 
 married Joseph Bates ; Samuel, born 1685 ; and Nathan, 
 born 1687. 
 
 Of these, Sarah, Thomas, John, Jacob and Mercy, emi- 
 grated from Long Island to Gloucester County, with the 
 families of Samuel Harrison, John Hinchman and some 
 others, about 1700.

 WILLIAM BATES. 
 
 FIRST GEXF.RATIOX. 
 
 The genealogy of Bates begins with William Bates (see 
 Clement, p. 47 and Lib. Bi., 521, who in 1670 was living in 
 the County of Wickloe, Ireland. He was a carpenter and 
 a ''Friend." At that time there were acts of Parliament 
 in force oppressive to the Friends, and many outrages were 
 committed on person and property. A meeting of the 
 Friends' society was held at the house of Thomas Trafford, 
 in the town of Wickloe, which is on the Irish Sea, about 
 30 miles south of Dublin. William Bates was a regular 
 attendant. He with others was arrested and taken to jail, 
 and confined for several weeks. At the next session of the 
 court he was indicted. He refused to give bonds to appear 
 at court, and was at once sent to prison. Xo regard was 
 paid in the prison to sex or condition in life. The sanitary 
 conditions were bad ; many of the prisoners sickened and 
 died. In 167 1, the laws were suspended by a declaration 
 of King Charles II. But in 1672, on account of the jeal- 
 ousv towards the Papists, the suspension was withdrawn. 
 
 L'pon this, Bates and others resolved to go to America. 
 (See Besse's " Sufferings,'' Vols. I, p. 27, and II, p. 479.) 
 A deed of William Penn et a/., dated April 12, 1677, and 
 including a whole share of the Propriety of West Jersey, 
 was made to Robert Turner, linen draper of Dublin ; Robert 
 Zane, serge maker of Dublin ; Thomas Thackara, stuff 
 weaver of Dublin ; William Bates, carpenter, of the 
 County of Wickloe ; and Joseph Slight, tanner, of Dublin. 
 Joseph Slight disposed of his interest in the Propriety. 
 Robert Turner acquired a large property in Pennsylvania 
 and did not, therefore, become a direct partner in the en- 
 terprise. Only Zane, Thackara and Bates remained. These 
 three, together with Thomas Sharp and George Goldsmith, 
 representing the interest of others, and Mark Xewbie, who 
 became a subsequent owner, making six in all, may be con- 
 sidered as the founders of Newton, X. J. 
 
 It was through the representations of Robert Zane, who 
 came to Xew Jersey iti 1675, that the place on the north 
 
12 BATES. 
 
 branch of Newton creek was selected. (See Hazzard's 
 Annals of Pennsylvania, p. 422.) The Memorial of Thomas 
 Sharp, written in 17 18, describes the coining to America. 
 It is among the Gloucester County deeds in the Office of 
 the Secretary, State of New Jersey. It reads as follows 
 (See p. 24 of Clement) : 
 
 " Let it be remembered yt upon ye nineteenth day of 
 September, in ye year of our Lord one thousand six hun- 
 dred and eighty-one, Mark Newby, William Bates, Thomas 
 Thackara, George Goldsmith and Thomas Sharp, set saile 
 from ye Harbor belonging to ye city of Dublin, in ye King- 
 dom of Ireland, in a pink called ' Ye owners adventure,' 
 whereof Thomas Lurtin, of London, was commander, and 
 being taken sick in ye city, his mate, John Dagger, offi- 
 ciated in his place ; in order to transport us, and yt we 
 might settle ourselves in West Jersey, in America. And 
 by ye good providence of God we arrived in ye Capes of 
 Delaware ve eighteenth dav of November following, and so 
 up ye bay until we came to Elsinburg, and were landed 
 with our goods and families at Salem, where we abode ye 
 winter. But it being very favorable weather, and purchas- 
 ing a boat amongst us, we had an opportunity to make search 
 up and down in yt which was called ye Third tenth, which 
 had been reserved for ye proprietors dwelling in Ireland, 
 where we might a place suitable for so many of us to settle 
 down together, being in these early times some what doubt- 
 full of ye Indians, and at last pitched down by yt which is 
 is now called Newton creek, as ye most invitingest place to 
 settle down by, and then we went to Burlington, and made 
 application to ye commissioners yt we might have warrants 
 directed to Daniel Leeds, ye Surveyor General, to survey 
 unto ever}- of us, so much land as by ye constitution at yt 
 time was allotted for a settlement, being five hundred acres, 
 or yt we had a right to, for a taking up yt under, which 
 accordingly we obtained. 
 
 "At which time also Robert Zane, who came from ye city 
 of Dublin, and had been settled in Salem four years before, 
 joined in with us who had a right to a tenth, Mark Newbey 
 to a twentieth, William Bates to a twentieth, Thomas 
 Thackara to a twentieth, Thomas Sharp (out of his uncle 
 Anthony Sharp's right) a twentieth, and George Goldsmith 
 (under ye notion of Thomas Starkey's right) a tenth ; all

 which of us, excepting William Bates, who took his on ve 
 southerly side of Newton creek, we took our laud in one 
 tract together for one thousand seven hundred and fifty 
 acres, bounding in ye forks of Newton creek and so over to 
 Cooper's creek, and by a line of marked trees to a small 
 branch of ye fork creek and so down ye same as by ve cer- 
 tificate of it standing upon record in ye Secretary office it 
 doth appear. And after some time finding some incon- 
 veniency in having our land in common together, being at 
 ye time settled at ye place now called Newton in ye manner 
 of a town for fear as aforesaid, at which being removed we 
 came to an agreement to divide. George Goldsmith he 
 choose the head of the creek, Thomas Sharp the forks or 
 lower end of the land next towards the river, by which 
 means the rest kept to their settlements without any dis- 
 advantage to themselves. 
 
 "And so ye land was divided according to every man's 
 right. But it is to be understood as I have so much hinted 
 before that by ye constitution of ye country at vt time, no 
 person, let his right be never so great, should survey and 
 take up above five hundred acres in one tract to make one 
 settlement of, and yt within six months, or otherwise it was 
 free for any other person that had rights to land to survey 
 it to himself as if it had never been taken up for any other 
 person. Whereupon many were obliged in order to secure 
 good places to themselves to give one hundred acres to 
 secure the rest; and many were deterred from taking up 
 their land yt could not find means to secure yt leaste they 
 should spend money to no profit. Now ye state of ye east 
 touching George Goldsmith (having a full and certain 
 knowledge thereof) is this wise. * * *

 Newton, as also a true and impartial account of ye fore- 
 going tract of land settled by George Goldsmith. Given 
 under my hand the 3rd month 3rd, 1718.

 "Allowed by John Kay, the 3rd month, 4th, 1718." 
 
 In addition to the 1,750 acres located as described, the 
 were also 100 acres of meadow land (See Clement, p. 26,) 
 taken up at the mouth of Kaighn's run and fronting on the 
 Delaware river. This was done to procure hay for the 
 
14 BATES. 
 
 cattle in the winter. Like the larger tract, the meadow was 
 soon divided into lots. (See the maps in the back of 
 Clement's book. Revel's book, 50-59.) 
 
 The judicial limits of the County of Gloucester were 
 recognized as early as 1682. May 28, 1686, the inhabitants 
 established the county to include the third and fourth 
 tenths of the Propriety. The bounds were not defined by 
 legislative enactment until 1694. (See Clement, p. 27.) 
 
 The first habitations of the settlers were huts made of 
 poles placed partly on the hill side and covered with the 
 skins of animals or bark of trees ; the bare earth was the 
 floor; no windows; a stick chimney, and a single apart- 
 ment. 
 
 March 10, 1681 (old style; the year ended March 24th), 
 was the date of the survey made to the other partners on 
 the north side of the middle branch of Newton creek. For 
 some unexplained reason (Revel's book, 25), William Bates 
 took his 250 acres on the south side, opposite the upper end 
 of the tract, and built a house. Two years afterwards he 
 made another survey of 250 acres adjoining the first, and 
 subsequently (Revel's book, 53,) bought adjoining land 
 from Robert Turner, extending his estate from the Grays- 
 bury line. to Wm. Albertson's boundary. Much of this is 
 included in the farms now (1877) owned by Jeremiah Ridg- 
 way and heirs of Joseph Eldridge, deceased. His house 
 stood by the creek, just below the mouth of Rates' run and 
 near the house on the Ridgeway farm. 
 
 Being the master mechanic of the party, he no doubt 
 built the first meeting house, in 1684. It was near his own 
 house (Clement, p. 183). In 1683 (Learning and Spicer's 
 Laws) he was one of the representatives of the Irish tenth 
 in the provincial legislature. The same year he was 
 appointed constable. In 1684 he was again a member of 
 the legislature and was appointed one of the commissioners 
 for laying out the highways, and held the office two years 
 (Clement, p. 32). He was one of the executors in the 
 famous will case of White (Clement, p. 1 7 et sty.). He was 
 also one of the trustees for Edward Newbie, 1685 (Clement, 
 
 P- 4 1 )- 
 
 The place and time of his marriage and the name of his 
 
 wife are not known. The marriage was in Ireland, where, 
 
 indeed, his children were all born, and whence they came

 with him to America. He died in 1700, leaving a will, 
 which is in the office of the Secretary of State of Xew Jersey, 
 but was never placed on record. 
 
 His children were as follows, all born in Ireland : Jere- 
 miah, who married Mary, a daughter of Samuel Spicer ; 
 JOSEPH, who married MERCY CLEMENT in 1 701 ; Abigail, 
 who married Joshua Frame in 16N7 ; William, who married 
 an Indian girl ; and Sarah, who married SlMEON Hi. us in 
 1692 (See Besse's "Sufferings." Vol. 2, 479, and Lib. G 3, 
 257, and Newton Meeting records). 
 
 The following extract is from a letter of John Clement, 
 to D. S. Lamb, May 27, 1891 : ll A difference in the spell- 
 ing of the name of Bates * satisfied me that in 
 many of the old documents and families it was spelled 
 Bate. I send copies of autographs, made by myself from 
 old documents, which show how the old folks wrote it. Of 
 later years hereabouts the final "s" has been used, and has 
 now become so common that it may never be changed. 
 These are facts that may affect genealogy occasionally, but

 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 Joseph Bates (Clement, p. 51 et seq. and 229), son of 
 
 William and Bates, was born in Ireland ; date and 
 
 place of birth not known. In 1701 he married MERCY 
 Clement at John Hinchman's house, according to Un- 
 order of " Friends." 
 
 [Mercy Clement, child of James and Jane Clement, 
 was born in 1683, probably at Flushing, Long Island. She 
 came to Gloucester County, N. J., about 1700. At the time 
 of her marriage she was living with the family of John 
 Hinehman in Newton Township (Clement, pp. 51, 52 and 
 
 275)-] 
 
 In 1706 (Lib. A, 84; Lib. A, 47, of Divisions, Woodbury ; 
 Lib. G3, 3) Joseph Bates settled on a tract of land bought 
 from Joseph Thorne ; it lay on the south sick of the sonili 
 branch of Cooper's creek, in Gloucester Township, mar 
 where the White Horse tavern stands ( 1S77). Tart of this 
 is now owned by Jacob Lippincott. His home (Lib. A, 84) 
 
1 6 BATES. 
 
 was probably a cave in the hillside fronting the creek ; 
 here his children were born and reared. At that time he 
 was beyond the line of settlements that were extending 
 from the river towards the east and south, but was not far 
 from the trail that went on the south side of the creek past 
 where Long-a-coming, now Berlin, stands, toward the sea- 
 coast. 
 
 The following is an extract from a letter of John Clem- 
 ent to D. S. Lamb, May 18, 1891 : "I send you a correc- 
 tion in regard to Joseph Bates which may throw some light 
 on the 'Bates.' It was found in an old deed, after the book 
 (Y. e. Clement's book) was printed. On page 52 at the end 
 of the first sentence in the fifth paragraph, read as follows : 
 This person came from Long Island previous to his settle- 
 ment here, as in some of the deeds for adjoining lands he 
 is called ' Long Island Joseph Bates,' doubtless to distin- 
 guish him from another of like name hereabouts, and which 
 fact may throw some doubt upon the statements made of 
 his being a son of William. 
 
 The estate passed out of the family in 1767 by deed to 
 Jonathan Aborn ; and after several conveyances became the 
 property of John Cathcart in 1794, who built the present 
 (1877) brick mansion. 
 
 The records show the death of two Joseph Bates. One 
 died in 1731. Elizabeth Bates became administrator (Lib. 
 No. 3, 140). Among the children was a daughter, Abigail, 
 who married Samuel Lippincott, son of Freedom and 
 Elizabeth Lippincott (probably the same as in Clement, p. 
 407, Elizabeth Ballanger), in 1743, at Evesham meeting. 
 They lived in Pilesgrove, Salem County, N. J., and had the 
 following children : Joseph, Samuel, Joshua, Mercy, Abigail 
 and Elizabeth. Many of the descendants of this branch of 
 the family still reside in that section of the State. (1877.) 
 
 The other Joseph Bates died in 1734 (Lib. No. 3, 432). 
 His children were Abigail and other daughters ; Benjamin, 
 Thomas and Jonathan. Abigail married John Hillman 
 
 (Lib. No. 3, 432). Jonathan married Elizabeth . 
 
 She survived him, dying in 1765, and leaving several 
 children. 
 
 Which of these two Joseph Bates is the subject of the 
 above sketch it is difficult to determine. (1877.) (Lib. D. 
 D., 449, and Lib. 8, 84.) 
 
BATES. 
 
 On the authority of Clement, I record Rebecca Bates 
 as a daughter of the Joseph Bates who married Mercy 
 Clement. From the record of Asa Matlack I find that 
 Rebecca was the sister of William, Thomas and Samuel. 
 
 SARAH BATES. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 Sarah Bates, daughter of William and Bates, was 
 
 born in Ireland, but when or where is not known. She 
 came with her father to America. She married SlMEON 
 Ellis in 1692, at the Newton meeting house, which was 
 near her father's home. They lived at Springwell, near 
 the present Ellisburg. After her huband's death, she 
 bought, in 171 7, of Isaac Hollingsham, some 400 acres in 
 Xewton township, fronting on Cooper's creek and extend- 
 ing to the main branch of Newton creek. In 17 18 her 
 son, Thomas, conveyed to her an adjoining tract, making 
 her at the time one of the largest landholders in the town- 
 ship (Clement, p. 56).

1 8 SCULL. 
 
 PATIENCE SCULL. 
 
 Patience Scull, wife of John Lamb, was born March 
 9, 1763, near Berlin, then called Long-a-coming, in Glou- 
 cester County, N. J. This county was afterwards divided, 
 and Berlin passed into Camden County. 
 
 She had 3 sisters, namely, Mary, born Oct., 1760; Ruth, 
 June, 1765, and Priscilla, Jan. 22, 17 — . She was also re- 
 lated in some way to a family named Marple, concerning 
 which it is known that Jane was born Feb. 13, 1765 ; Ruth, 
 March 9, 1767; Samuel Richard, June 25, 1769; David, 
 June 17, 1773; Alie, Jan. 27, 1775, and Nancey, July 13, 
 
 x 779- 
 
 This record of births is contained in a volume of Ten- 
 
 nent's Sermons. The book was the property of the Scull 
 
 family, passing from Patience (Scull) Lamb to her son 
 
 James Lamb ; at his death to his sister, Patience (Lamb) 
 
 Atkins ; thence to her daughter, Anna C. Atkins, who 
 
 kindly transferred it to Dr. D. S. Lamb, a great grandson 
 
 of John Lamb. 
 
 [Tennent was one of two brothers, both Presbyterian 
 divines, born at Armagh, Ireland, and came to America at 
 an early age. One became pastor of a church in Philadel- 
 phia ; the other at Freehold, N. J. The fact that this book 
 was used as a family record suggests that it was held in 
 much repute and that the family of Scull was probably 
 Presbyterian. The book was published in 1758.] 
 
 Patience Lamb is described as having brown hair and 
 dark grey eyes, and dressed like a " Friend." Married about 
 1782 to John Lamb. She died April 7, 1845, of old age, in 
 Philadelphia, and was buried at the West Street burying 
 ground. 
 
 [A number of New Jersey soldiers named Scull served in 
 the War of the Revolution. Those known to be from 
 Gloucester Count} - were as follows : John Scull, 2d Lieut, 
 of Capt. Win. Price's company, 3d batt., commissioned Sep. 
 18, 1777; Privates Abel, Joseph and Peter Scull, and 
 Private David Scull, of the 3d batt., and also of Col. Rich- 
 ard Somers' batt. of State troops. In the Continental army 
 was Private Daniel Scull, of the 2d batt., 2d Establishment ; 
 
SCULL. 19 
 
 he was also in Capt. James Willett's company, Cape May. 
 Also Private David Scull, previously named, who was in 
 Capt. Andrew McMires' company, 1st batt., 2d Establish- 
 ment. It is not known whether any of these soldiers were 
 related to Patience Scull.] 
 
 The father of Patience Scull, if married as early as 1759, 
 could hardly have been born later than about 1740. I have 
 not yet ascertained anything definitely in regard to the 
 ancestrv of Patience Scull. 
 
20 ELLIS. 
 
 SIMEON ELLIS, Sr. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 The genealogy of Ellis begins with Simeon Ellis 
 
 (Clement, p. 182), who was born at . It is 
 
 not known when he arrived in America. Clement believes 
 that he was not among the first arrivals, because he did not 
 buy any land until 1691. Then he bought 200 acres from 
 Francis Collins (Lib. P, 238), part of a survey of 800 
 acres bounded by the north side of the north branch of 
 Cooper's creek. The part which Ellis bought lay on both 
 sides of the King's highway, which had just been laid out 
 by commissioners. 
 
 Ellis built his log cabin near the stream and road ; lived 
 there the rest of his life, and his children were born there. 
 It was called Springwell. The site cannot now be deter- 
 mined. 
 
 In 1692 he married Sarah Bates, daughter of William 
 
 and Bates, at the old Newton meeting house, which 
 
 was near Bates' home. (Lib. G3, 257, Newton Meeting 
 Records.) 
 
 In 1695 he bought from Elias and Margaret Hugg 400 
 acres adjoining his first purchase. This tract was part of 
 the 800 acres above mentioned (Lib. G3, 71,) and which 
 had been previously conveyed by Margaret's father, Francis 
 Collins, to Samuel Jennings and Robert Dimsdale, as trustees 
 for her, in 1687. 
 
 These first purchases include the present (1877) village of 
 Ellisburg in Delaware township. They are almost equally 
 divided by the Camden and Marlton turnpike and the 
 Moorestown and Haddonfield road. But few of the original 
 boundaries are left except the stream. Simeon Ellis also 
 bought other tracts, some on the south side of the north 
 branch (Basse's book, 28), now (1877) included in the farms 
 of John Ballinger and others adjoining. A part of this 
 estate is now owned by Joseph Ellis and the heirs of Josiah 
 
ELLIS. 21 
 
 Ellis, deceased, lineal descendants of the first settlers. All 
 of the remainder has passed ont of the name many years 
 since. 
 
 Simeon Ellis does not appear to have held any office or 
 participated in the political troubles of his time. He was a 
 Friend, and among those who met at John Kay's house, 
 which was near his own ; here met also a few Friends from 
 Evesham. 
 
 He died in 1 7 1 5. By his will, March 8, 17 15, his prop- 
 erty was divided among his children (Lib. No. 2, 05). His 
 personal effects were appraised at 253 pounds sterling; his 
 real estate was much larger than the average of his time. 
 Most of it lay in what is now the improved part of Camden 
 County. Parts of it remained in the family and name main 
 years, but are now (1877) divided into lots and farms owned 
 by Edward C. Knight, William P. Tatem, John C. I )e Costa 
 and others. 
 
 The homestead estate was devised to Thomas, William 
 and Simeon. It was held by them in whole until 1754. 
 There was then a question as to its boundaries, and they 
 joined in a resurvey of the same, settling the matter in dis- 
 pute with adjoining owners. The resurvey showed how 
 the three sons held the paternal estate and on which part 
 each lived (Lib. S, 338, O. S. G.). 
 
 In his will Simeon Ellis (Lib. No. 8, 395) named his 
 seven children, as follows: Thomas, who, in 1722, married 
 Catharine Collins, daughter of Joseph Collins (Clement, 
 
 pp. 56 and 78) ; Joseph, married Mary (Clement, 
 
 p. 56) ; William, married Catharine, daughter of Joseph 
 Collins (p. 56); Simeon, Jr., married Sarah Collins, daugh- 
 ter of Joseph Collins (Clement, pp. 56 and 78) ; Jonathan, 
 in 1737 (Lib. No. 8, 395), married Mary Hollingshead, who 
 survived him and married Robert Stiles (p.56); Mary, 
 married, and Sarah, in 1730, married John Kay, at Haddon- 
 field meeting (p. 56). 
 
 An eighth child, Jacob Ellis, is mentioned by Clement 
 (pp. 56, 108, 320 and 324). In 1750 he married Cassandra 
 Albertson at Haddonsfield meeting. She survived Jacob 
 and married Jacob Burrough in 1753, a ' so at tne Haddon- 
 field meeting. Jacob Ellis probably left no child to arrive 
 at maturity. 
 
22 ELLIS. 
 
 SIMEON ELLIS, Jr. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 Simeon Ellis, Jr. (Clement, p. 184 et seq), son and 
 
 fourth child of Simeon and Sarah Ellis, was born , at 
 
 or near the site of Ellisburg. N. J. 
 
 His share of the paternal estate was 336 acres (See Simeon 
 Ellis, Sr.) with an extensive front on the creek. He occu- 
 pied the house built by his father and tilled the land from 
 which his father had cleared the timber when he settled 
 the place. Simeon, Jr., was an intelligent man for his day, 
 and the ancestor of the family which still retains parts of 
 the original estate. 
 
 As a tiller of the soil, and one who sought to develop 
 agriculture, he was a public benefactor. As a dispenser of 
 the law in the guise of a country squire, he commanded 
 the deference paid in those days to such officials, maintain- 
 ing the dignity of the realm and respect for the king. His 
 docket was a curious volume, containing entries of actions 
 at law, charges for grain, credit for money paid for labor on 
 his farm, and other foreign matters. The quarter sessions 
 court, then in fashion, consisting of two justices of the peace, 
 with authority to try petty crimes, sometimes sat at Simeon's 
 house. These officials also solemnized marriages. 
 
 Part of the land of Simeon Ellis was conveyed by him 
 to his sons, but much passed to them by devise. (Lib. No. 
 16, 144). 
 
 Simeon Ellis married Sarah Collins. 
 
 [Sarah Collins (Clement, pp. ;6 and 78), daughter of 
 
 Joseph and Catharine Collins, was born , at 
 
 "Mountwell," at or near the present site of Haddonfield, 
 N. J. She died before 1773.] 
 
 He survived his wife, and died in 1773, leaving a will 
 (Lib. 8,395). His children were : 
 
 Isaac, who in 1748 married Mary Shivers, daughter of 
 Samuel Shivers, at Salem meeting ; Benjamin, who mar- 
 ried Sarah Bates ; William (Clement, p. 419, says William 
 Ellis, Jr.), who in 1756 married Amy Matlack, daughter of 
 John and Hannah Matlack (License in office of Secretary 
 of State); John, who married Priscilla Peterson, widow ; 
 Sarah, who married William Dwyre or Dwyer, 1750 (Li- 
 cense) ; and Simeon (3d.) 
 
ELLIS. 23 
 
 Clement, p. 386, mentions Ann Ellis, daughter of this 
 Simeon. [See William Ellis.] 
 
 \_Not<\ There are several discrepancies in regard to 
 Simeon Ellis, his children and grandchildren. 
 
 [First : Clement says, page 78, that Simeon married Sa- 
 rah Collins, daughter of Joseph Collins. In a private letter 
 he says that he feels sure that he is right. But on pages 
 56 and 57 he simply places a dash for the name of Simeon's 
 wife. Again, speaking of William Ellis (pages 56 and 184), 
 he says that William married Sarah, daughter of Joseph 
 Collins. 
 
 [Now if the two brothers married the same woman, it 
 must have been after one brother died. William died in 
 1759. His wife survived him. Let us suppose that she 
 now married Simeon, who did not die until 1773. This does 
 not explain the children born to Simeon long before such 
 a marriage could take place. So that Simeon must have 
 had another wife, anyhow. But Clement says that when 
 William died, his wife, Catharine, was made administra- 
 trix. 
 
 [It would appear probable, therefore, that Simeon married 
 Sara// Collins, daughter of Joseph Collins ; and that Wil- 
 liam married Catharine Collins.] 
 
 SIMEON ELLIS, 3D. 
 
 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 Simeon Ellis, 3d (Clement, p. 189), the sixth child of 
 
 Simeon (2) and Sarah Ellis, was born , probably 
 
 at Ellisburg, N. J. 
 
 He resided on part of the original purchase. In 1760 
 (about March 24), he married Priscilla Bates (sister of 
 Sarah Bates, who married Simeon's brother Benjamin). 
 Simeon's marriage was by bond and license. 
 
 He left but few immediate descendants. In a private 
 letter, Clement says that there was a daughter, Mary, who 
 was born March 29, 1766. In another letter he says that 
 he has a memorandum stating that Simeon Ellis had two 
 daughters, Sybilla and Mary ; but can trace no further. 
 Sybilla's name being mentioned first, would suggest that 
 
24 ELLIS. 
 
 she was born first, perhaps a couple of years before Mary, 
 which would be about 1764. 
 
 It is probable that the Sybilla Ellis who married 
 Jacob Matlock was one of these daughters, and that she 
 was about 18 years old at the time of marriage. 
 
 The following is a copy of the marriage bond, filed in 
 the office of the Secretary of State of New Jersey : 
 
 " Know all Men by these Presents That We Simeon 
 Ellis and William Cox Both of the County of Gloucester 
 in the province of New Jersey Yeo ms are holden, and to

 Jersey ; to be paid to his said Excellency the Governour

 " The Condition of this Obligation is such, That whereas 
 the above bounded Simeon Ellis hath obtained License of

 Bates of the same place Spinster of the other Party. Now 
 if it shall not hereafter appear, that they the said Simeon

 FOURTH GENERATION.

LAMB. 
 
 JOHN LAMB. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 The genealogy of Lamb, so far as it is known, begins 
 with Johx Lamp.. The information in regard to him was 
 obtained mainly from his daughter, Mrs. Patience (Lamb) 
 Atkins, in her old age, when hei memory was somewhat 
 defective; from her daughter, Anna C. Atkins, and niece, 
 Julia Hess. 
 
 John Lamb was born in Ireland, but whereabouts they 
 could not tell. Neither could they give the year of his 
 birth ; but as the}' claimed that he was 72 years old when 
 he died (November 7, 1835), he must have been born in 
 1763. Julia Hess said that he came to this country while 
 quite young, accompanied by an older brother ; the name 
 and fate of this brother are unknown. There weik no 
 other relatives in this country so far as known. As 
 John married in or about 17S2, he must therefore have 
 immigrated during or just before the war of the Revolution. 
 Aunt Angcline Zelley (August 1897) says that he came 
 from Ireland, at the age of 14 years, in 1777. 
 
 In reply to an inquiry of mine, I received the following 
 information : "Arca-Dearg, brother of Conall Orison, who 
 is No. 88 on the O'Malley pedigree, was the ancestor of 
 those who bear the name of Lamb. Uan, the great-grand- 
 son of Arca-Dearg, was the first of the name. Now, Uan, 
 genitive Uain, means " a lamb". A descendant of Uan, a 
 famous general named Ranalck Catha Brian, was killed at 
 the battle of Clontarf in 16 14, fighting under Brian Born." 
 
 John Lamb was married about the year 1782 to PATIENCE 
 Scull. This year is assumed because his first child was 
 born June 24, 1783 ; and as at the assumed date of marriage 
 he would have been but 19 years old, that date is probably 
 correct, since it is unlikely that he would have married 
 earlier. The place of his marriage is not known, but it 
 was somewhere in New Jersey, probably at the home of his 
 wife, near Berlin, Camden County. (The old name of Ber- 
 lin was Long-a-coming, and in those days it was in I rloui 
 ter County, which was afterwards subdivided. ) 
 
 To get definite information concerning the place and date 
 of marriage, I wrote to the Secretary of State of New Jer- 
 
26 LAMB. 
 
 sev, who (Henry Kelsey, June 27, 1885) replied that he had 
 no record of marriages after 1795; and the records had 
 been searched from 171 1 to 1795 without finding the names 
 of John Lamb to Patience Scull. My cousin, Daniel 
 Strock, physician, Camden, N. J., wrote August 3, 1885, 
 to the Clerk of Court of Gloucester County, H. C. Louden- 
 slager, who replied that he had no records of marriages 
 before 1795. It is possible that John Lamb was a member 
 of the Society of Friends and was married "in meeting." 
 The names may yet be found on the minutes of Friends' 
 meeting of that part of New Jersey. 
 
 He was a farmer, and probably continued as such until 
 he moved to Philadelphia ; when this removal occurred is 
 not known. He is described as being of short stature and 
 thickset ; complexion fair ; light hair and eyes, and dressed 
 like the Friends. 
 
 He died November 7, 1835, from old age it is said. At 
 that time he was living at the corner of Franklin and Wal- 
 lace streets, Philadelphia. He was buried in what was called 
 West Street burying ground, Philadelphia. 
 
 His children were as follows : William, Ann, Ruth, 
 Mary, James, Isaac, John, Patience and Samuel. 
 
 The names and births of the children, and also the 
 names and births of members of the family of Scull and 
 Marple, are contained in a copy of Tennent's sermons, 
 which belonged to the Scull family. Anna C. Atkins said 
 that it was not known who wrote these names, but the book 
 was found in the effects of James Lamb, was afterwards 
 kept by her mother, and given by her to D. S. Lamb. 
 
 The only soldiers of the name of Lamb who served in 
 the New Jersey troops in the War of the Revolution, were : 
 Jacob Lamb, of Burlington County ; nothing more is known 
 of him ; and Patrick Lamb, Captain Wm. Tucker's Com- 
 pany, First Regiment, Hunterdon County, who was a guide 
 to Washington's army in the Princeton surprise of January

 WILLIAM LAMB. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 WILLIAM Lamb, the eldest son of John and Patience 
 Lamb, was born June 24, 1783, in New Jersey, presumably 
 
LA. MB. 27 
 
 near Berlin. [See John Lamb.] Married January 6, 1808, 
 to Priscilla Matlock, presumably also at or near Berlin ; 
 perhaps at Friends' Meeting. Soon after his marriage he 
 moved to Philadelphia, Pa., bought a piece of property and 
 lived there. Its location is shown by the following extract 
 from a letter of my friend Charles V. MacManns, a convey- 
 ancer of that city, July 8, 1885 : 
 
 "We find a deed dated March 17, 1809, from Moses 
 Lapsley and wife to William Lamb, in fee for premises 
 east side St. John street, 186 feet 5^5 inches south of Noble 
 street, 20 feet front by depth 69 feet more or less to a court 
 or alley. This seems to be about 449 St. John street. 
 There is an alley bounding on the south. Deed was ac- 
 knowledged April 1, 1809, and recorded March 2, 1810, in 
 deed-book I. C, 9, 157. We do not find any deed for this 
 property from William Lamb since that date." 
 
 There was an alley on the south side of the lot ; a mill 
 in the alley, and a cooper's shop opposite Lamb's. The 
 house was a brick, with attic and dormer window and 
 cellar. The property was sold either during his last sick- 
 ness or after his death to pay his debts. 
 
 His occupations were varied. It is known that he 
 worked at brickmaking and in a malt house ; at one time 
 owned cows and kept a dairy, and at another time he owned 
 horses and drays. 
 
 He is said to have been a very honest man, and very trust- 
 ing to others ; loaning money without taking notes or other 
 security. He was comfortably well off until his fatal sick- 
 ness. He was tall and portly ; gray eyes and dark hair. 
 His son, David Lamb, is said to have most resembled him, 
 although David Lamb is not tall. In religion he was a 
 " Friend." 
 
 He was taken sick about the year 1832 and was sick 7 
 years, unable in that time to do any work. The support of 
 the family devolved on his sous Jacob and William. He 
 died of dropsy of the chest, from heart disease, June 27, 
 1839, age 56. At that time he was living in George Street, 
 between Third and St. John, Philadelphia. During his last 
 sickness some of his debtors came to him and paid him 
 accounts which he had forgotten. 
 
 His children were as follows : 
 
 John, born November 15, 1808; died August 28, 1810. 
 
28 LAMB. 
 
 Mary Ann, born October 29, 1810; died July 23, 1814.

 Susannah, born December 16, 1830; died January 16, 1832. 
 The above information concerning William Lamb was 
 obtained almost entirely from Angeline (Lamb) Zelley, his 
 daughter. 
 
 The other Children of John and Patience Lamb. 
 
 second generation. 
 
 The following information concerning the other children 
 of John and Patience Lamb, sisters and brothers of William 
 Lamb, was mainly given by Anna C. Atkins : 
 
 The second child, Ann, also called Nancy, was born No- 
 vember 17, 1785; married Enos Ziegler. 
 
 The third child, Ruth, was born December 29, 1789. 
 Her first husband was John Leek, by whom she had four 
 
 children. They were : Samuel, who married Smith ; 
 
 John, who married Sharp ; Sarah, who remained 
 
 single ; and Patience, who married John L. Garwood. Ruth's 
 second husband was Daniel Smith, after whom I was 
 named. [Daniel Smith was born July 17, i79i,in Chester 
 County, Pennsylvania ; died January 2, 1865, of heart dis- 
 ease. He was a carpenter by trade, but for some time was 
 a steward at Blockley Asylum, Philadelphia, and after- 
 wards superintendent of the Monument Cemetery, in that 
 city. Ruth was his second wife. By his first wife, name 
 not given, there were two children, a son and a daughter. 
 I have a photograph of Daniel Smith.] Ruth died in 
 Philadelphia, February 22, 1881. The children of Daniel 
 and Ruth Smith were: Julia A., who married Jacob Hess; 
 William ; Jesse ; Daniel A., who died in infancy, and 
 Mary Shearer, who married Henry Rittenhouse. [Of the 
 firm of Mellor & Rittenhouse, Manufacturing Pharmacists, 
 Philadelphia.] Mrs. Rittenhouse had a dislocation of the 
 neck by a curious accident. Very unusually in such cases, 
 she recovered. 
 
 The fourth child, Mary, was born March 2, 1792 ; mar-

 JACOB MATLACK LAMB. 
 
 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 My father, Jacob Matlack Lamb, the third child of 
 William and Priscilla Lamb and the first to live beyond 
 infancy, was named after his grandfather on his mother's 
 side, Jacob Matlock. He was born June 6, 181 2, in the 
 house, 449 St. John Street, between Noble and Willow, 
 Philadelphia. (See Jacob Matlock for the difference of 
 spelling of the name Matlack). 
 
 His father having been taken sick about the year 1832, 
 and unable to work, the support of the family for the next 
 seven years devolved on Jacob and his brother William (Jr.). 
 
 He was twice married. His first wife was Mary Maddi 
 Williams, whom he married July 10, 1 834, in St. John Street, 
 between George and Franklin Avenue. She was a dress- 
 maker ; lived "only a short time after her marriage. My 
 sister, Ann Eliza, says that she understood that a son was 
 born but lived only a short time. My father's mother ob- 
 jected to his marrying at all, as he was " a great help to the 
 family." My own mother, Delilah Mick Rose, was board- 
 ing next door to the Lambs, and was one of those neighbors 
 who helped care for the sick wife. This brought her into 
 acquaintanceship with my father and eventually they were 
 married; but because of the wellknown objection of his 
 
30 LAMB. 
 
 mother, the marriage was kept quiet, so that the date is not 
 known even now. They were married by a Universalist 
 minister, Ezekiel Fuller, pastor of the church on Callowhill 
 Street above Crown (afterwards a museum). The certificate 
 of marriage, however, was lost; the pastor died and had left 
 no record. My parents went through the form of a second 
 marriage, as shown by the following certificate which is in 
 my possession. 
 
 u These are to certify that on the twenty-seventh day of 
 November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun- 
 dred and forty-two, Jacob Lamb and Delilah Rose, of the 
 County of Philadelphia, were joined in marriage before the 
 subscriber, Alderman of the First Ward, in the incorporated 
 district of the Northern Liberties, of the County of Phila- 
 delphia, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, having 
 previously declared themselves free respectively from prior 
 engagements or other lawful impediments. In witness 
 whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and 
 year above written. (Signed) Mordecai G. Bryant, Alder- 
 man. (Seal)." 
 
 The certificate is a blank form with the names written 
 in. 
 
 Jacob Lamb was at first a shoemaker or cordwainer, as 
 those of the craft were also called ; and was secretary of 
 the society of cordwainers. Afterwards, and as far back as 
 I can remember, he was a steam engineer in the mahogany 
 saw mill of John Eisenbrey, corner Pear and Dock streets, 
 Philadelphia. 
 
 He resided in Philadelphia all his life ; for a long time 
 with his parents in St. John street ; afterwards in St. John 
 street between George street and Franklin avenue ; in 
 Charlotte street above Beaver ; Charlotte street below 
 Beaver; and about the year 1851 we moved to 132 Franklin, 
 afterward Girard avenue, one door west of Howard street, 
 south side, where my mother kept a dry goods and trim- 
 mings store. He died there July 14, 1859 (the day of my 
 graduation at the Central High School), of " marasmus 
 from abscess of liver." Buried in the Odd Fellows 1 
 Cemetery. 
 
 He was of short stature, with blue eyes and auburn hair 
 and beard. I have a small photograph of him, taken from 
 a daguerreotype. 
 
LAMB. 31 
 
 He was industrious and methodical ; his work was done 
 conscientiously. He was honest and trustful. He used 
 neither alcoholic liquors nor tobacco. He was a member 
 of Union Division, Sons of Temperance, Philadelphia, and 
 for a long time financial secretary of the same. He also 
 belonged to the orders of Good Fellows and Odd Fellows. 
 In religion he was a Freethinker, with a tendency to 
 Universalism. His sister, Angeline, writes : " I know your 
 father did not believe in the Bible." His work was hard 
 and his evenings were mostly spent at home in reading, 
 except when he attended his societies. He was a calm, 
 dispassionate, just and generous man. He prized an edu- 
 cation and sought to give the opportunity of one to each 
 of his children, and made personal sacrifices to secure this 
 advantage. He was an excellent father and husband ; an 
 affectionate and provident son and brother. His recrea- 
 tions were simple ; in the summer he was in the habit of 
 taking his family into the country or on the river ; espe- 
 cially often to his cousins, the Matlacks, living near 
 Beverly, N. J. 
 
 The feeling towards him by his nephews and nieces is 
 shown by the following extracts from letters received by 
 me: Daniel Strock, January 20, 1885, says: " Your father, 
 whom I knew as Uncle Jacob, my memory more clearly 
 brings up than any of those I have mentioned, with the ex- 
 ception of mother. He visited us a short time previous to 
 mother's death, I think, [Strock was then 6 years old] and 
 brought me a tin horn and some other toys, which act 
 caused him to become enshrined in my memory as the 
 ideal uncle; and in all my imaginings about the Lamb 
 family I have used my mother and Uncle Jacob as types of 
 what the others must be." 
 
 Daniel Strock's elder brother, William F. Strock, also 
 writes : " Uncle Jacob was a great favorite with us little 
 folks. After mother's death the two families were lost to 
 each other." My father himself died two years after that 
 of the sister just mentioned. 
 
 His children were: Ann Eliza, born April 12, 1836. 
 Charles Matlack, October 14, 1837. David Henry, March 
 2, 1839. Caroline Blake, April 15, 1841. Daniel Smith, 
 May 20, 1843. Robert Blake, May 7, 1S46. Hannah, 
 still born, April 16, 1853.

 him, March 8, 1885, to his brother Daniel : 
 
 " I was very much interested in your letter and the bit of 
 family history which it gave. I have always felt deeply 
 interested in our family history but have never been able 
 to learn anything very definite about it. I have always 
 made it a point to inquire of those who might know some- 
 thing about it, when I could do so without seeming imper-

 tinent. Whether the profound ignorance that always 
 seemed to be displayed on the subject was due to apathy 
 or intentional concealment I never rightly knew, though I 
 always supposed the former. Unfortunately, we have some 
 relatives living that are no credit to us, and the law of the 
 survival of the fittest seems to have been reversed to a great 
 extent among them. 
 
 " But all family histories have their dark sides and what 
 there is of good about the past I should like to know. I 
 have always intended to look this up and learn what I 
 could. The history of mother's family has always been 
 shrouded in mystery to me, though I have often inquired 
 concerning it ; and to this day I have but little more knowl- 
 edge of mother and her relatives than if I had been a found- 
 ling. I see no use of such secrecy, or rather indifference ; 
 I do not see why children should grow to manhood in a 
 Christian family without any knowledge of even the 
 mother who bore them. These things but weaken the 
 family ties and interest of those still living ; and the way 
 we have been educated in this respect and have been sepa- 
 rated since childhood, it is a wonder that our interest in 
 each, other is what it is. I am very glad you have learned 
 something of our relatives, and hope it may lead to more 
 intimate knowledge of each other. Let me know what is 
 the result of your correspondence and inquiries.'" 
 
 Angeline Lamb, the eighth child of William and Pris- 
 CiLLA Lamb, and the fourth to live beyond infancy, was

 ship. April 27, 1865, ne moved to Locke township, Elk- 
 hart Count v, Ind. In Aug., 1880, he sold out and moved 
 on a neighboring farm of 40 acres, but stayed only five 
 months, because of its loneliness. He then removed to 
 Goshen, in the same county, and started a cabinet shop. 
 As he himself was thoroughly honest, he also trusted 
 others to his own disadvantage, and bad debts finally com- 
 pelled him to go out of business. He had a good house of 
 7 rooms in a quarter acre of land. 
 
 He was five feet five inches high ; average weight, 160 
 pounds ; dark blue eyes and dark brown hair. He was a 
 carpenter and farmer. Incidentally, as circumstances ne- 
 cessitated, he turned his attention to other employments. 
 At one time he kept cows and sold milk ; at another he 
 bought apples in the country and sold them in the town ; 
 at another, he sold tinware through the country. He was 
 badly injured several times; in 1854, fell from a scaffold 
 and broke collar bone ; at another time was injured in the 
 leg with an axe and nearly bled to death. He was also 
 unfortunate with his horses and cattle, losing a number by 
 accidents on the railroad. For several years he had his 
 home with his son George. His children were : Rebecca 
 Louisa ; William, born and died Oct. 30, 1849, in Phila- 
 delphia ; Eleanor O., Mary E., Rachel G., Angeline; Caro-

 WILLIAM MATLACK. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 The genealogy of the Matlack family of New Jersey has 
 been written up especially by Asa Matlack and by Dr. A. 
 M. Stackhouse, of Maple Shade, N. J. William Mat- 
 lack, or, as some old papers spell it, Macklack, was born 
 about 1648; was one of the "Friends" who came from 
 England in 1677 to Western New Jersey from Cropwell 
 Bishop, a small village in Nottinghamshire. On the 14th 
 of August the ship sighted land at Sandy Hook, Del. It 
 then followed along the Jersey coast to Raccoon creek, 
 where the passengers disembarked. The Commissioners 
 appointed by Win. Penn and the other Proprietors, and 
 Matlack with them, took a small boat and ascended the 
 river to Chygoes island, a tract of land on which Burlington 
 stands, nearly surrounded by a creek named from an Indian 
 sachem who lived there. Win. Matlack was the first to 
 leave the boat and set foot on land. [See Clement's Early 
 Newton Settlers, Camden, N. J., 1877, p. 231 et set/., and see 
 Persons who came to America from England, 1 600-1 700.] 
 As soon as they landed, lots were drawn for the 9-acre lots 
 (see Clement, p. 231, and Basse's book, p. 216). These lots 
 were surveyed by Richard Noble, who was appointed by 
 the Commissioners ; he soon afterwards surveyed all the 
 remainder of the island on the west side of High Street and 
 bounded by the river and creek. The lots above mentioned 
 and the remainder of the island were divided among 10 
 persons (see Basse's book, p. 216). Matlack was a car- 
 penter, and built or helped to build the first two houses in 
 Burlington and helped build the first corn mill (Thomas 
 Olive's) in West Jersey. (See "Introduction.") 
 
 Matlack came over as a servant of Daniel Wills, one of 
 the Commissioners, and, after serving him four years, 
 bought from him 100 acres of land between the north and 
 south branches of Penisaukin creek, Chester Township, 
 Burlington Countv. The consideration was his four vears' 
 service and " current country pay." The greater part of this 
 tract is still owned and occupied by Matlack's descendants. 
 
MATLACK. 51 
 
 Matlack, Timothy Hancock and John Roberts (see 
 Basse's book, p. 35), took np their land in 1682. These 
 surveys, containing 100 acres each, were generally known 
 as " headlands," being the quantity to which each male 
 person coming as a servant was entitled under the regula- 
 tion established by the proprietors. Many young men 
 were styled servants and received their 100 acres of land, 
 who were persons of education, and afterwards became 
 prominent citizens in the country. 
 
 The land was near the Indian town of Penisaukin, where 
 the natives for main- years afterwards had a village, and 
 where still (1877) the remains of their graveyard may be 
 seen. These burial places were held by the Indians in 
 much reverence and respect, and they made long journej s 
 to them ; showing a tenderness of feeling and a degree of 
 refinement not always found in civilization. 
 
 This stream, Penisaukin creek, bears one of the few In- 
 dian names that have come down to the present generation, 
 although much corrupted. The three men above named 
 called the laud Penisaukin, after the stream. The word 
 has been spelled in various ways with as many definitions. 
 
 New settlements were made in a short time and increased 
 until a meeting of Friends was established in the house of 
 Timothy Hancock in 1685, by the consent of Burlington 
 Friends. This was held on alternate first days with one at 
 the house of John Kay, on the north branch of CooperV 
 creek for the accommodation of Friends at Penisaukin and 
 Evesham. These were continued until about 1707. At 
 these places many marriages were solemnized during this 
 time. 
 
 Matlack built a house where the house of Charles Haines 
 now stands. He lived there many years and brought up a 
 large family of children. He married MARY HANCOCK in 
 1682. 
 
 In 1 701 he bought from Richard Heritage about 1,000 
 acres of land in Waterford and Gloucester Townships, 
 Gloucester (now Camden) County ; lying on both sides of 
 the south branch of Cooper's Creek, around and near the 
 White Horse Tavern. In 17 14 he gave 500 acres of this 
 tract to his son, George Matlack. (Lib. G 2, 1 \\. Lib. A, 
 09.) The same year he gave the remaining 500 acres to his 
 son, Timothy Matlack'. (Lib. A, 08.) In 1 7 1 7 1 Lib. A,

 50), William Matlack bought 200 acres from John Estaugh, 
 as attorney for John Haddon, in Waterford and Delaware 
 Townships. On this tract is situated the old Matlack 
 graveyard, where lay the remains of nearly all the older 
 branches of the family. Richard Matlack settled here in 
 
 1721. 
 
 The tract of land owned by William Matlack and his 
 sons, John, Timothy and Richard, extended from the White 
 Horse Tavern to the farm of Joseph H. Ellis, both included, 
 lying on both sides of the Moorestown and Woodbury road, 
 and contained some 1,500 acres. It passed out of the name 
 more than 60 years ago (now 1877), part by marriage, but 
 much the largest part by sale. 
 
 As an evidence of the little interest taken in agriculture 
 during the first 150 years of the settlement of this part of 
 New Jersey, it is worthy of remark that this land of Wil- 
 liam Matlack and his sons was underlaid with green sand- 
 marl, the fertilizing properties of which are now so well 
 understood. The existence of this peculiar deposit must 
 have been known to the dwellers of that region of country, 
 for no well could be dug nor excavation made in which it 
 would not appear ; and yet there is no evidence that this 
 material had been used upon the soil until within the last 
 40 years (Clement, 1877). This was, therefore, one of the 
 best agricultural districts in the State. The disregard of 
 this fertilizer is explained by the little value of farm pro- 
 ducts at that time, and the consequent lack of interest in 
 increasing crops or improving soil. This section of country 
 was also covered with timber ; and the thick underbrush 
 growing from the rich soil made the best cover for game. 
 (See Clement, p. 261.) 
 
 The following is taken from Basse's book, p. 216: 
 " William Matlack, of the County of Burlington, in the 
 Province of New Jersey, aged about 72 years, came before 
 me, the underwritten, being his Majesty's Judge of the 
 Common Pleas for said county, and, upon his solemn affir- 
 mation, did declare that he, the said William Matlack, 
 about the latter end of October in the year (1677), came to 
 Burlington, along with his then master, Daniel Wills, who 
 was one of the commissioners for laying out the lands in 
 Western Division of New Jersey, and several others in the 
 first boate that came there to settle the said Town of Bur- 
 
MATLACK. 53 
 
 lington ; and that, as soon as he and the rest were landed, 
 he was present and saw the lots fairly drawn for the nine 
 acre lots mentioned in the next page and on the other side 
 of this leaf in this book; which lots were surveyed by 
 Richard Noble ; and that the said lots fell to the ten persons 
 mentioned in said page, and in the three following pages, 
 and in the same order as they are there set down. And 
 further, this deponent says that he is well assured and very 
 well knows that the said Richard Noble was appointed 
 surveyor by the commissioners, and did soon after survey 
 all the remaining part of the Island on the west side of the 
 High Street, and bounded by the river and creek ; and 
 when it was divided, it was lotted to the said ten persons 
 according as in the said two pages it is particularly 
 described. 
 
 "Attested before me, this tenth day of December, in the 
 seventh year of the reign of King George of Great Britain, 
 Anno Domini, 1720. Joshua Humphreys." 
 
 Matlack saw a town rise up in the midst of a forest, sur- 
 rounded by a thriving population, busy in clearing the 
 land and enjoying the reward of their labor. His leisure 
 hours were spent among the natives, watching their pecu- 
 liarities and striving to win their wood will. Following: 
 the example and advice of the commissioners, his promises 
 to them were faithfully kept and every contract strictly 
 adhered to. 
 
 When William Matlack died is unknown, but he died 
 after 1720. He lived to see his youngest daughter the 
 mother of 7 children. Tradition says that he died in his 
 90th or 91st year and would have lived longer if his tools 
 had not been hid from him, for he took delight in having 
 his accustomed tools to work with, and when he could not 
 have them he died. It is presumed that he and his wife- 
 were the ancestors of all of the name of Matlack on this 
 continent. The Matlack family in New Jersey has been 
 remarkably prolific. The descendants have found their 
 way into every State of the Union. 
 
 Their children were John, who married Hawaii Hor- 
 ner and Mary Lee; George, who married Mary Foster in 
 1709 at Burlington meeting, and Mary Hancock; Mary, 
 who married Jonathan Haines in 171 1 at Newton meeting

 William, who married Ann Antrim in 1713 at Burlington 
 meeting; Richard, who married Rebecca Haines in 1721 
 at Evesham meeting, and Mary Cole in 1745 at Chester 
 meeting; Joseph, who married Rebecca Haines in 1722 at 
 Chester meeting ; Timothy, who married Mary Haines in 
 1720 at Haddonfield meeting; Jane, who married Irvin, 
 and Sarah, who married Carlyle Haines in 1721 at Eves- 
 ham meeting. 
 
 JOHN MATLACK. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 John Matlack eldest child of William and Mary 
 Matlack, was born in 1684. In 1705 bought from Francis 
 Collins 200 acres in Waterford township; married Hannah 
 Horner in 1707 at Burlington meeting, and settled on this 
 land 3 miles east of Haddonfield on north side of most 
 northerly branch of main south branch of Cooper's creek. 
 A part of the estate was in 1877, owned by the heirs of 
 John Wilkins, deceased, who resided there. The old house 
 which John built stood a short distance from the handsome 
 building of the present occupants, and was pulled down 
 about 1875. Their children were Isaac and Amy, 
 
 Jacob, who married Ruth , and John, who married 
 
 Hannah Shivers in 1736. Amy married William Ellis and 
 had a son Josiah, who was born in 1777 and married Sarah 
 Ellis, who was born in 1781. Hannah Matlack died and 
 John Matlack married Mary Lee. He died in 1765.

 John Matlack, son of Isaac and Rebecca Matlack, 
 was born Dec. 2 or 12, 1733. Married Ann FuRGURSON, 
 December 12, . She was the daughter of Irish parents. 
 
 The children were : Ann, who married Frederick Pyles ;

 JACOB MATLACK. 
 fifth generation. 
 
 Jacob Matlack (or Matlock), son of John and Ann 
 Matlack, was born Dec. 19, 1762, in Waterford, Gloucester 
 
 t ofC 
 
56 MATLACK. 
 
 (now Camden) County, N. J. He lived there until a few 
 years before applying for his pension, when he moved to 
 Philadelphia, and died there Feb. 2, 1857. In his applica- 
 tion for pension in 1832 he "affirmed," stating that in 
 August, 1777, then not quite 15 years old, he volunteered 
 for one month under Capt. John Stokes in Col. Joseph Ellis' 
 command of N. J. militia [at that time the British army 
 was moving forward to occupy Philadelphia, accomplished 
 Sep. 26, 1777]. [In addition to furnishing men to the 
 Continental troops, " Jersey Line/' the province organized 
 its militia for its own defence ; and later still " embodied" 
 troops called State Troops, for the same purpose. The 
 position of the province between New York and Phila- 
 delphia, which were occupied from time to time by the 
 British, exposed it to frequent invasion, and to the ravages 
 of the Tories, refugees and foraging parties. The pay, 
 rations and other allowances, were the same as for the 
 Continental troops. Each man found his own musket, 
 bayonet, cartouch (cartridge), bed and blanket.] He 
 marched from Waterford to Haddonfield, where the 
 troops rendezvoused. Thence he often went down to 
 Cooper's Ferry as a guard and patrolling the country. 
 [As soon as the enemy occupied New York city and 
 Staten Island the New Jersey militia companies were di- 
 vided into classes for alternate monthly duty on alarm in 
 emergencies to guard the lines, patrol the country, and 
 especially to repel foraging parties and to prevent Tories 
 from trading with or otherwise aiding the enemy, often 
 making prisoners of the Tories.] Under the same officers 
 he served three months from Oct., 1777, patroling in the 
 vicinity of Haddonfield and Woodbury, and down to Red 
 Bank, on the Delaware river, a few days before the attack 
 on. that fort and the forts on Mud (now League) Island. In 
 November he was in a skirmish near Gloucester. In De- 
 cember an unarmed English brig was caught in the ice just 
 below Philadelphia ; he helped to capture and strip the 
 vessel and take prisoners and carry them to Haddonfield. 
 In March, 1778, he was "out" another month, most of the 
 time at Haddonfield, under Capt. John Hider* and Col. Jos. 
 Ellis. In July, 1779, he volunteered [apparently under 
 the act of June 2d of that year, which embodied the militia

MATLACK. 57 
 
 to serve until December 15th. The method of monthly 
 rotation had been found inconvenient and expensive, inter- 
 fering with farming. A bounty of 50 dollars was given] for 
 6 mouths with Capt. John Davis in the command of Gen. 
 Nathaniel Heard, and marched to Morristown to wait for 
 the troops from West Jersey ; on their arrival they patrolled 
 the country to Elizabethtown, remaining several weeks ; 
 thence to Woodbridge, 8 miles distant ; then in 6 weeks 
 returning to Elizabethtown, where he was discharged. Dur- 
 ing the last tour he was in a severe skirmish with a body of 
 Tories at Amboy ; they had crossed from Staten Island and 
 captured some cattle; these were recovered. In 1780 he 
 engaged to serve 6 months [apparently under the act of 
 June 7, 1780; the time to expire January 1, 1781. A 
 mileage of one dollar a mile was ordered paid, and a bonus 
 above Continental pay and rations of 60 dollars a month, 
 Continental money] ; with Capt. John Wood, going to Mon- 
 mouth, N. J.; thence to Middletown, where Col. John Holmes 
 [according to the New Jersey Register, Capt. John Holmes 
 resigned May 27, 1777, because of disability. It was prob- 
 ably Col. Asher Holmes, who was commissioned Colonel 
 of a battalion of State troops June 7, 1780] was in com- 
 mand, taking the place of troops whose term had expired ; 
 he was stationed there until discharged, January 1, [781. 
 During this tour they had a skirmish with some Tories. 
 These stations or rendezvous of troops were places whence 
 detachments were ordered to guard the sessions of the court 
 and the jails, conducting prisoners to and from them or to 
 places to be exchanged, and was himself so employed. 
 
 After the war he lived at Waterford, but at one time in 
 Gloucester with his brother-in-law Frederick Pyles ; about 
 1807 in harvest time the house was burnt down and Mat- 
 lack's papers were burned. [One of the witnesses to the 
 pension declaration was James Matlock, living in Gloiu 
 ter County in 1832.] In 1833 his name appears in a 
 transfer of church property at Fairview, near Bridgeboro, 
 N.J. He died in Philadelphia, Feb. 2, 1857; buried in 
 Haddonfield. 
 
 He was placed on the pension roll either Jan. 3 or June 
 30, 1833 (both dates are given in the published pension list, 
 1835). The pension began March 4, 1831. lie was paid 
 $56.66 annually; in all $169.98. His age at the time of 
 
58 MATLACK. 
 
 pension was 72. He was paid in New Jersey, but lived in 
 Philadelphia, part of the time. 
 
 With regard to spelling the name Matlack or Matlock it 
 may be said that he always insisted that the " o" was cor- 
 rect. But most of his ancestors and descendants spelled 
 the name with the "a." Those persons who are familiar 
 with old style spelling and its vagaries will readily under- 
 stand the vagary in this case. 
 
 He was married to Sebilla Ellis Dec. 28, 1782, at the 
 Old Swedes Church, Philadelphia. [See Pennsylvania 
 Archives, Vol. VIII, pp. 361 and 444.] His children were 
 Nehemiah, born May 23, 1782, married Pomelia Hubbard; 
 Mary, Oct. 5, 1784; Hezekiah, Aug. 6, 1786, married 
 daughter of Aaron Githins ; Priscilla, Feb. 10, 1789; Ellis, 
 Feb. 25, 1791, married Elizabeth, daughter of Aaron Githins; 
 Mason, March 9, 1794; Hope, July 7, 1796, married Peter 
 Whiteman, of Philadelphia; Joseph, Dec. 19, 1798, married 
 
 Harriet , afterwards Christina ; Joseph died 
 
 March, 1866; George W. ; and Thomas, Oct. 28, 1803. 
 
 PRISCILLA MATLACK. 
 
 SIXTH GENERATION. 
 
 See William Lamb. 
 
 Priscilla E. Matlock was born at Waterford, N. J., Feb- 
 ruary 10, 1789. Nothing is known particularly of her 
 youth. Was married January 6, 1808, to William Lamb. 
 Was small in stature, with blue eyes and dark hair. Dressed 
 as a " Friend." In religion a Methodist. For several years 
 she and her daughter, Angeline, lived together until the 
 mother died of paralysis September 3, 1856, in Philadel- 
 phia ; was then living on Rachel Street, between Poplar 
 and Laurel. [Note. — I think that the initial "E" of her 
 name is an abbreviation of " Ellis, 1 ' probably after her 
 mother. Her daughter Angeline says " Ettie," but I am 
 hardly ready to accept that name.]

 HANCOCK. 
 
 MARY HANCOCK. 
 
 In 1681 Timothy Hancock and his sister Mary came to 
 Western New Jersey from Brayles, Warwickshire, England, 
 on board the " Paradice," Capt. Evele. It is presumed that 
 marriageable women were scarce in the new country for in 
 1682, when she was only 16 years old, she married Wil- 
 liam Matlack. 
 
 Timothv Hancock located 100 acres of land running 
 from the north to the south branch of Penisaukin Creek 
 adjoining the land of Matlack, and built a house thereon a 
 little west of Matlack's ; lived there several years and at 
 his house a meeting for religious worship was set up by the 
 Friends in 1685, and another at Burlington, at the house of 
 John Kay, on alternate first days, to accommodate Friends at 
 Evesham and about Penisaukin and Cooper's creek. These 
 meetings were continued till 1707 at least, as the records 
 show that marriages took place as late as that year. In 
 1692 Timothy deeded a half acre of ground on the north 
 branch of Penisaukin Creek near his own house for a grave- 
 yard. He subsequently sold his property to Win. Matlack. 
 
 Timothy Hancock was married in 1684 to Rachel Firman 
 in open court at Burlington (minute book on file with Sec- 
 retary of State), and is known to have had at least the fol- 
 lowing children : Elizabeth, who married Robert Braddock, 
 at the Newton meeting in 1709; Sarah, who in 1711 mar- 
 ried Thomas Smith at same meeting; Ann, who in 1 713 
 married Mark Stratton at Evesham meeting; Hannah, who 
 married Emanuel Stratton in the same year and at the same 
 meeting; John, who in 1719 married Mary Curnell at the 
 Chester meeting, may also have been his child. Judith I Ian- 
 cock, who married Gilbert Murrell in 1691 in open court at 
 Burlington, and Godfrey Hancock, who was in litigation 
 with Peter Vegou, in 1679, may have been related to Mary 
 and Timothy. For the marriages of the Hancocks, see 
 Clement. 
 
 Mary Matlack died nth mouth 20th, 172S, ami was 
 buried in Friends' graveyard at Moorestown, X. J.

STOUT. 
 
 JOHN STOUT. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 The genealogy of Stout begins with John Stout, a gen- 
 tleman of good position in Nottinghamshire, England. 
 
 A manuscript genealogy of the family was compiled by 
 a Mr. Stout and was said to have been at one time in the 
 possession of the father of Ex-Governor Parker of New- 
 Jersey, but the latter, when applied to, appeared to have no 
 information on the subject. Partial copies of the MS. are 
 in the hands of Rev. G. C. Schenck of Marlborough, N. J., 
 and Dr. J. E. Stillwell of New York City. 
 
 RICHARD STOUT, Sr. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 Richard Stout, son of John and Stout, was born 
 
 probably in Nottinghamshire, England. He had a dis- 
 agreement with his father which caused him to leave Eng- 
 land. He embarked on a man-of-war, served 7 years, and 
 was honorably discharged at New York. (Edwin Salter'^ 
 Historical Reminiscences of Ocean County, N. J.) 
 
 He remained in New York till April 8, 1665, when he 
 became one of the original incorporators of Middletown, East 
 Jersey. He married, while in New York (and therefore 
 before 1665), a widow, whose maiden name was Penelope 
 van Princess (Lib. Ill, A, East Jersey Deeds, p. 1, and 
 Richard Stout's will. See also Penelope van Princess). 
 He was one of the largest landed proprietors. He lived at 
 Middletown until his death at an advanced age in 1705. 
 His will was dated June 9, 1703; was proved October 23,

 RICHARD STOUT, Jr. 
 
 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 Richard Stout, Jr., second child of Richard and Pene- 
 lope Stout, was born at Middletown, N. J., date not given. 
 
 Married prior to 1675 to Frances . Removed to 
 
 Squan Beach, N. J. (prior to March 10, 1691), where he 
 was styled a planter (Lib. D, II, East Jersey Deeds, p. 261). 
 Here he raised a large family and was probably the father 
 or grandfather of Rebecca and Penelope Stout, who lived 
 in the neighborhood of Squan Beach ; Rebecca, who mar- 
 ried John Cranmer, and Penelope, who married Jacob 
 Henry Falkenburg in 1731, member of the Little Egg 
 Harbor Monthly Meeting. (See Minutes of the Meeting.) 
 
 Penelope van Princess was born at Amsterdam, Hol- 
 land, in 1602. She married one of her countrymen, a young 
 man whose name is not given. They came to America in 
 
 the year . The vessel was stranded at Sandy Hook. 
 
 The husband died. The widow afterwards married 
 Richard Stout. Mrs. Stout died at Middletown in East 
 Jersey in 1712, aged no years. It is said that she was 
 buried in the old graveyard near Holmdel, N. J., about 100 
 yards from the residence of the late John S. Henderson, 
 Esq. (Salter's Reminiscences). She is said to have had by 
 the year 1712, 502 descendants. The following account of 
 her is from Smith's History of New Jersey, p. 65 ct seq : 
 
 " While New York was in possession of the Dutch, about 
 the time of the Indian war in New England, a Dutch ship 
 coining from Amsterdam was stranded on Sandy Hook, but 
 
STOUT. i 
 
 the passengers got on shore; among them was a vming 
 Dutchman who had been sick most of the voyage ; he was 
 taken so bad after landing that he could not trawl ; and 
 the other passengers being afraid of the Indians, would not 
 stay until he recovered, bnt made what haste they could to 
 New Amsterdam ; his wife, however, would not leave him, 
 the rest promised to send as soon as they arrived. They 
 had not been long gone before a company of Indians com- 
 ing down to the water side, discovered them on the beach, 
 and hastening to the spot, soon killed the man and cut and 
 mangled the woman in such a manner that they left her 
 for dead. She had strength enough to crawl up to some 
 old logs not far distant, and getting into a hollow one, lived 
 mostly in it for several days, subsisting in part by eating 
 the excrescences that grew from it ; the Indians had left 
 some fire on the shore, which she kept together for warmth ; 
 having remained in this manner for some time, an old 
 Indian and a young one coming down to the beach found 
 her ; they were soon in high words, which she afterwards 
 understood was a dispute ; the former being for keeping 
 her alive, the other for dispatching. After they had de- 
 bated the point awhile, the first hastily took her up, and 
 tossing her upon his shoulder, carried her to a place near 
 where Middletown now stands, where he dressed her wounds 
 and soon cured her. After some time the Dutch at Xew 
 Amsterdam, hearing of a white woman among the Indians, 
 concluded who it must be, and some of them came to her 
 relief ; the old man, her preserver, gave her the choice, 
 either to go or stay ; she chose the first. A while after 
 marrying to one Stout, they lived together at Middletown 
 among other Dutch inhabitants ; the old Indian who saved 
 her life, used frequently to visit her ; at one of his visits 
 she observed him to be more pensive than common, and 
 sitting down he gave three heavy sighs; after the last she 
 thought herself at liberty to ask him what was the matter. 
 He told her he had something to tell her in friendship, 
 though at the risk of his own life, which was, that the In- 
 dians were that night to kill all the whites, and advised 
 her to go off to New Amsterdam ; she asked him how she 
 could get off. He told her he had provided a canoe at a 
 place which he named. Being gone from her, she sent for 
 her husband out of the field, and disclosed the matter to 
 
4 STOUT. 
 
 him, who not believing it, she told him the old man never de- 
 ceived her, and that she with her children would go ; accord- 
 ingly, going to the place appointed, they found the canoe 
 and paddled off. When they were gone, the husband began 
 to consider the thing, and sending for five or six of his 
 neighbors, they set upon their guard. About midnight 
 they heard the dismal warwhoop ; presently came up a 
 company of Indians ; they first expostulated, and then told 
 them, if they persisted in their bloody design, they would 
 sell their lives very dear. Their arguments prevailed, the 
 Indians desisted, and entered into a league of peace, which 
 was kept without violation. From this woman, thus re- 
 markably saved, with her scars visible, through a long 
 life, is descended a numerous posterity of the name of 
 Stout, now inhabiting New Jersey. At that time there 
 were supposed to be about fifty families of white people, 
 and five hundred Indians inhabiting those parts."

 The following information in regard to the Cranmers has 
 been obtained from the Genealogy of Dr. White and Black- 
 man's History of Little Egg Harbor Township : 
 
 EDWARD CRANMER. 
 
 FIRST GK X E R ATION. 
 
 The Cranmer family of New Jersey claim descent from 
 the celebrated Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canter- 
 bury, who was burned at the stake at Smithfield, England, 
 May 21, 1556, by order of Qneen Mary, because of his devo- 
 tion to Protestantism. There is no evidence, however, to 
 support this claim, because the male line of the Archbishop 
 became extinct. If descended from this family, it could 
 only have been through his brother, Edward Cranmer^ 
 Archdeacon of Canterbury, who was born in 1535, and died 
 in 1604, aged 69 years, leaving a son, Thomas Cranmer. 
 
 Blackman, p. 295, says she had seen many Jersey Cran- 
 mers who showed a striking resemblance to the likeness of 
 the Archbishop. 
 
 THOMAS CRANMER. 
 
 SECOND GENERATIOX. 
 
 Thomas Cranmer, son of Edward and Cranmer, 
 
 had five sons. 
 
 Blackman, p. 294, says that there were at least four orig- 
 inal branches of the Cranmers of Ocean and Burlington 
 Counties, whose descendants are so numerous and are so 
 much mixed up by intermarriage of Cranmer with Cranmer 
 that at this late day there is no such thing as untangling 
 the intricate web of their kinship. 
 
 The first three generations of the family in New Jersey 
 appear to have written their name Cramer or Crammer, but 
 in 1707 William, the son of the founder of the- family, 
 signed himself Cranmer. The first of the family, howe^ 
 to adopt this spelling was Seymour Cranmer. 
 
6 CRANMER. 
 
 WILLIAM CRANMER. 
 
 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 William Cranmer, date and place of birth and parent- 
 age not given, settled originally at Sonthold, Long Island. 
 Here he was married to Elizabeth Carwithy. She was 
 
 the daughter of David and Carwithy. She died at 
 
 Elizabeth town, November, 1665. (See Hatfield's History 
 of Elizabeth, p. 72-73.) 
 
 William Cranmer removed to Elizabethtown, Essex 
 County, East Jersey ; his name appears among those who 
 took the oath of allegiance February 19, 1665. He was 
 appointed a constable of the town April 27, 1670 ; was one of 
 the freeholders, and had considerable property, most of which 
 he sold in September, 1677, when he removed to the Hoar 
 Kill (now Lewes), Delaware. (See Hatfield's History, pp. 
 56 and 73.) 
 
 (Salter, in Blackman, page 294, says that in 1681 there 
 was a William Cranmer living on Staten Island, and he 
 had sons, Josiah, William and John, who settled in New 
 Jersey.) 
 
 He died prior to December 4, 1689, when letters of ad- 
 ministration on his estate at Elizabethtown were granted 
 to his eldest son Thomas. His children were : Thomas, 
 William and John. 
 
 JOHN CRANMER, Sr. 
 
 FOURTH GENERATION. 
 
 John Cranmer, Sr., third child of William and Eliza- 
 beth Cranmer, was born either at Southold, L. I., or at 
 Elizabethtown, N. J., before 1665; he removed with his 
 brother William to the lower part of Burlington County, 
 N. J., where he was converted to the doctrine of the So- 
 ciety of Friends and joined the monthly meeting at Little 
 Egg Harbor. He was married about 1694 to Sarah 
 
 . In 1707 he returned to Elizabethtown, which 
 
 was in the bounds of the Woodbridge Monthly Meeting, 
 and presented the following certificate of membership: 
 
 "At a Monthly Meeting at Nathaniel Hitz Randolph's 
 in Wooudbridge ye 19th Day of ye 4th Month, 1707. At 
 this meeting John Cranmer gave in a Writing to ye Same, 
 
CRANMER. 7 
 
 which the Meeting orders to be read — which was done and 
 is as followeth : ' The first of ye third month, 1 707. Whereas,

 bour have been convinced of ye Truth amongst us wh< >s<

 and under a Sense of Truth in their hearts tho they are but

 meeting.) [The above is taken from the "Ancestry of the 
 children of Dr. James W. White."] 
 
 In October, 1709, he bought of Thomas Brian of Ches- 
 terfield a 32d part of propriety in the province of West 
 Jersey (Lib. BBB, West Jersey Deeds, p. 233), and shortly 
 afterwards took up land in Bass River township, Burling- 
 ton County. His children were : 
 
 John and Jeremiah (the latter was born at Elizabeth- 
 town, 1 2th month (February) 4, 1707 (Records of Wood- 
 bridge Monthly Meeting),) and probably others. 
 
 JOHN CRANMER, Jr. 
 
 FIFTH GENERATION. 
 
 John Cranmer, Jr., eldest son of John and Sarah 
 Cranmer, yeoman, was born 1695 — 8; the place unknown. 
 He lived in Bass River township, Burlington County, N. J., 
 and was a member of the Society of Friends. He was 
 married 2d month (April), 1721, to Mary Andrews, at Lit- 
 tle Egg Harbor Monthly Meeting. Tradition says she \va> 
 the daughter of Edward Andrews, but Blackmail, p. 301, 
 says that according to a statement in his will, she does not 
 think so ; but it was likely that Mary was the daughter of 
 Mordecai Andrews, Sr. (She died shortly afterwards, el li ld- 
 less). He married the second time, the 5th month (July), 
 1726, Rebecca Stout, of Shrewsbury. (See Stout; and 
 
8 CRANMER. 
 
 Minutes of Little Egg Harbor Monthly Meeting.) Tradi- 
 tion says that he was the boss carpenter at the building of 
 the first Friends' Meeting House at Tuckerton. 
 
 He died some time prior to April 14, 1760, when letters 
 of administration were granted on his estate (Lib. IX, 
 West Jersey Wills, p. 416). His children were (Blackmail's 
 History, p. 301 ) : Jacob, who married Phoebe Valentine ; 
 Seymour ; y^/z, who married October, 1757, Margaret 
 Smith (daughter of John and Mary Smith. See John 
 Smith) ; Rachel, who married Edward Allen, Sr., of Bass 
 River; Elizabeth, who married Jeremiah Mathis, Sr.; Re- 
 becca, who married Carter, and Hannah, who married 
 
 Joseph Burns, formerly of England. 
 
 SEYMOUR CRANMER. 
 
 SIXTH GENERATION. 
 
 Seymour (written also Senior) Cranmer, yeoman, sec- 
 ond child of John and Rebecca Cranmer, was born about 
 1730, probably in Bass River township. November 17, 
 1756, he had 100 acres of land surveyed for him on the 
 west side of Bass River (Lib. S, VI, West Jersey Surveys, 
 p. 415). He was married June, 1757 (Blackmail says, p. 
 301, 1754), to Mary Smith. [She was daughter of John 
 and Mary (Ireland) Smith. She was a member of the 
 Church of England. Her husband's marriage gave great 
 displeasure to the Meeting ; and it appointed a committee 
 " to speak with John and Seymour Cranmer for going out 
 to marry." She died in 1807. Her sister Margaret mar- 
 ried Seymour's brother John. (See New Jersey Marriage 
 Licenses, June 23, 1757. Minutes of Little Egg Harbor 
 Monthly Meeting; also David Seaman's Pedigree of John 
 Smith, Esq., pp. 4 and 5.] 
 
 His children were: Mary, born about 1758, married 
 William Rose (See William Rose); Sarah, died in 1799; 
 Christiana, who died in 1824 (Blackman says, p. 301, that 
 she married Hugh Magarthy); Rebecca, who married, in 
 1 781, Richard Cranmer, and died in 181 1 ; their children 
 were : Elizabeth, Daniel, Mary, Jesse, Louisa, Smith, Clark- 
 son, Sarah and Richard ; Elizabeth Cranmer married Mau- 
 rice Seaman in 1800, and their children were Daniel, 
 
CRANMER. 
 
 Jerusha, Ann, Maurice, Joshua, Aaron, Mary and Hannah ; 
 Naomi, who married Edward Cranmer, and had a son John 
 C; Seymour, Jr., is inserted here by Blackman, p. 301, he 
 married Mary Goldsmith, a widow, and their children were : 
 
 Sarah Cranmer, Elizabeth Cranmer, (who married James 
 Boden, and their children were : Rebecca and Leander) and 
 Martha Cranmer, (who married Jacob Thomas, and their 
 children were: Mary Ann, John, Samuel, Sarah, Martha, 
 Jane and Elizabeth;) Catharine; Jesse; Martha, who 
 married, 1797, James Anderson, and their children were: 
 Mary, Robert, Jane, Thomas, Rebecca Anderson, (who mar- 
 ried Jacob Westler, and their children were Jacob and 
 Frederick ;) Lucretia Anderson, (who married Francis Res- 
 sellet, and their children were: Leopold and Anne;) and 
 Helen Anderson, (who married Frederick Steinberg, and 
 had one child, Rosanna ;) Elizabeth, born in 1775, died in 
 1816, married Ziba Mathis, son of Nehemiah Mathis, Sr., 
 and their children were : James, Mary, Daniel, Smith, Jesse 
 and Martha. 
 
 There was a Seymour Cranmer, of Burlington County, in 
 the New Jersey troops of the War of the Revolution, who 
 may have been the same individual. (See Stryker's " New 
 Jersey in the Revolution," p. 560.) 
 
 For the collateral branches of the family of Cranmer see 
 Blackman, p. 294, et seq. 
 
 Blackman says, p. 295, that William, Josiah, and prob- 
 ably Thomas Cranmer, were the forefathers of theCranmers 
 of Ocean County, and John and Stephen were the ancestors 
 of the Cranmers of Burlington County, and settled at Bass 
 River. The Cranmers, especially the earlier generations, 
 were notably partial to family names. 
 
 Many of the Cranmers were successful seamen. There 
 were many Captain Cranmers. In some cases all the male 
 members of a family were Captains. 
 
 The first generations of Cranmers were Friends. The 
 books of the Little Egg Harbor Monthly Meetings record 
 a number of marriages of Cranmers.

 The genealogy of Smith begins with John Smith, Esq., 
 of London, England, who married Sarah Howard, June 6, 
 1677. He had at least one son, John Smith, Jr.

 Owen. (She was the daughter of Samuel and Owen.) 
 
 His children were : John ; Edward, born in London in 
 1710, died childless in 1789; possessed a large estate, one 
 half of which he bequeathed to his next of kin, and the 
 other half to his niece, Sarah Hayatt, his sister's daughter ; 
 and Elizabeth, who married Thomas Collins, and had but 
 one child, Sarah, who married Philip Hayatt and died in 
 1826, childless and intestate; she had become possessed 
 of her uncle's entire estate, which has since been claimed 
 by the descendants of John Smith, 3d. 
 
 JOHN SMITH, 3D. 
 
 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 John Smith, 3d, first child of John and Catharine Smith, 
 was born in London, England, prior to 1 710. He removed to 
 Burlington County, N. J. In 1733 he married Mary Ire- 
 land. (Nothing more is known of her except that she died 
 in 1764. For Irelands at later date, see Blackmail, index, 
 p. 446.) He died at a very advanced age in 1804. His 
 children were: Sarah, born in 1734, married Edward 
 Bowen ; Margaret, born in 1735, married John Cranmer ; 
 Mary, born in 1737, married Seymour Cranmer; Christi- 
 ana, born in 1739, married in 1760 Arthur Wescott, died in

 MARY SMITH. 
 
 FOURTH GENERATION. 
 
 See Seymour Cranmer. 
 
1 2 ROSE. 
 
 ROBERT ROSE. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 The facts in regard to the families of Rose, Cranmer, 
 Stout and Smith are mainly obtained from a genealogical 
 work published by Dr. James William White for private 
 distribution. 
 
 The genealogy of Rose begins with Robert Rose, who 
 was born in Ipswich, Suffolk County, England. He mar- 
 ried . With his wife and children he came 
 
 to New England in 1634 and settled at Weathersfield, 
 Conn., 1639. (The Roses do not appear at any time to have 
 been members of the Society of Friends.) 
 
 There were eight children. One, Samuel Rose, was born 
 in 1625, in Ipswich, England ; removed to Newark, in East 
 Jersey, where he died in 1698 without children. It is be- 
 lieved that from the remaining children are descended all of 
 the name of Rose in New Jersey. (See Collections of the 
 New Jersey Historical Society, Vol. VI, Supplement, p. 
 
 132.) ' 
 
 In the early part of the 18th century there were two of 
 the name of Rose in Burlington County, West Jersey ; 
 namely, Peter and Ephraim Rose. 
 
 Peter Rose. Married Mary Hummel. Lived at Burling- 
 ton. (Mary Hummel was the daughter of John and Ger- 
 trude Hummel. Gertrude Hummel was daughter of John 
 Austin and .) (Lib. D, West Jersey Deeds, p. 199.) 
 
 EPHRAIM ROSE. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 Ephraim Rose, yeoman. Lived in Little Egg Harbor 
 Township, Burlington County, N. J. Date of birth and 
 
 marriage unknown. Married Martha . Died some 
 
 time prior to March 8, 1747, when letters of administration 
 on his estate were granted to his widow, Martha (Lib. V, 
 West Jersey Wills, p. 437.) His children were Samuee 
 
 and Ephraim. Ephraim married Mary . In 1746, with 
 
 her consent, he disposed of some property in Little Egg Har- 
 bor Township. 
 
ROSE. 1 3 
 
 SAMUEL ROSE. 
 
 THIRD GENERATION'. 
 
 Samuel W. Rose, yeoman, son and first child of Ephraim 
 and Martha Rose, was born probably in Little Egg Harlx.i 
 township, where his parents lived. He married, February, 
 1739, Anne Duckworth, of Burlington County. (New 
 Jersey marriage licenses, Feb. 26, 1739. Nothing more is 
 known of her.) He occupied the estate on the west side of 
 Rose's brook, near Parkertown. It contained 123 acres, jt, 
 of which were surveyed for him May 22, 1753, and the re- 
 maining 50, April 18, 1 751. (Proceedings of Surveyor's 
 Association, West Jersey ; Leah Blackmail's History of 
 Little Egg Harbor Township, page 349.) The plantation, 
 however, as shown by a survey in 1797, was really much 
 larger. 
 
 He died some time before June 18, 1762, when letters of 
 administration were granted to his widow, Anne (Lib. 
 XI, West Jersey Wills, p. 133). Blackmail says that the 
 estate was divided between the two sons, Samuel and 
 William. His children were (Blackmail's History, pp. 349 
 and 350): Samuel, who married Hannah Carman ; Martha, 
 who married Capt. John Leak, of Bass River ; and William 
 (Blackman places Martha after William). 
 
 (According to my correspondent, Joel T. Rose, of Tuck- 
 erton, N. J., Jan. 14, 1886, and Leah Blackmail also, there 
 must have been two other children, Thomas and Ebenezer, 
 These may have died in infancy. Blackman, however, p. 
 351, believes that Ebenezer had a son John, who had a son 
 Henry, who was the father of T. F. Rose, one of the pro- 
 prietors of the New Jersey Coast Atlas.) 
 
 WILLIAM ROSE. 
 
 FOURTH generation. 
 
 William Rose, yeoman, younger son and third child of 
 Samuel and Anne Rose, was born in Little Egg Harboi 
 township, Burlington County, N. J., about the year 1750. 
 He married, in 1775 or 1776, Mary CRANMER. (Mary 
 Cranmer was the daughter of Seymour and Mary Cran- 
 mer. She died in 1812.) 
 

 
 14 ROSE. 
 
 His father's plantation was resnrveyed July 18, 1797, and 
 was found to contain 242 acres, of which 119 were over- 
 plus. (West Jersey Surveys, Lib. S. VI, pp. 229 and 230, 
 Lib. A A, p. 39.) He received the westerly half of this, 
 on which he built his house. (Blackman's History, pp. 
 222, 349 and 350.) It was in this house that Bacon, the 
 Tory refugee, was shot by the Continental soldiers. Wil- 
 liam Rose lived here till his death in 1804. 
 
 His children were (Blackmail's History) : William, born 
 in 1776 or 1777, possibly died young-; Mary, born April 
 n, 1778, married James White, of Tuckerton, N. J. ; Sey- 
 mour, James, Jesse, (Joel T. Rose says Jessie) ; and Joel. 
 
 SEYMOUR ROSE. 
 
 FIFTH GENERATION. 
 
 Seymour Rose, second son and third child of William 
 and Mary Rose, was born in Little Egg Harbor township, 
 probably in 1780. He married Martha Pennell, (date 
 not given). (See Martha Devinney). He died about 
 1834. After his death his widow and children went to 
 Philadelphia to live. It is probable that all the children 
 were then unmarried. Their names were : Ann, who mar- 
 ried William Coleman ; Emma, who married Joseph Pars- 
 ley and had one child, Joseph Parsley ; Sarah, who married 
 Joseph Powell ; William, a shoemaker, who remained sin- 
 gle ; Delilah Mick, who married Jacob Lamb, (See Ja- 
 cob Lamb) ; Mary, who married Thomas Hess ; Charlotte, 
 who married Isaac Covert ; and Samuel, the youngest, a 
 shoemaker, who married Margaret Drake. There were, 
 however, altogether thirteen children, twins among the 
 number. 
 
 DELILAH MICK ROSE. 
 
 sixth generation. 
 
 Delilah Mick Rose, daughter of Seymour and Martha 
 Rose, was born July 9, 1814, at or near Tuckerton^ N. J. 
 After her father's death her mother came with the children 
 to Philadelphia to live. Here Delilah married Jacob Lamb. 
 
ROSE.

 She died September 25, i860, of cancer of stomach. She 
 was tall, of rather slender build, with blue eyes and brown 
 hair ; a woman of much spirit, strong- in her likes and dis- 
 likes ; a good housekeeper ; domestic, motherly, filial. A 
 good wife and helpmeet; judicious in the management of 
 the small family income supporting a large family. In 
 1851, thinking to better the fortunes of the family, sh< 
 bought out a small dry goods and trimmings store, 132 
 Franklin, afterwards Girard, Avenue, Philadelphia, and 
 with the help mainly of her daughters carried it on till her 
 death in i860. 
 
 Rose, Collateral. 
 
 The information below is from Mr. Joel T. Rose, of 
 Tuckerton, N. J. (see also Blackmail, pp. 349 and 350.): 
 
 Samuel Rose, eldest child of Samuel and Anne Rose, 
 had the easterly part of the estate, on which the dwelling 
 had been built. He married Hannah Carman, of upper 
 Burlington County. Their children were : 
 
 1. — Charles Rose, who married Sybella , of upper 
 
 Burlington County, and afterwards Ann Headley, daughter 
 of Jacob Headley. The children by Sybella were : Mary, 
 who married James Parker ; Andrew ; Eber, who married 
 Sarah, widow of James Willits and mother of Alphonsa A. 
 Willits, D. D. (but Blackman says that Eber Rose married 
 Nancy Jones) ; Nathan, who married Eliza Engle (Black- 
 man) ; Francis, whom Blackman says married Sarah Wil-

.MORSE. I 7 
 
 EPHRAIM MORSE. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 Ephraim Morse, Sr. (see Blackman, p. 344), was living 
 in Egg Harbor as early as 1746. Said to have been the 
 first white man who settled on Tucker's (or Short) Beach 
 years before it was bought by Reuben Tucker. He built 
 himself a small house. Main- severe storms swept over 
 the beach ; but one day came a northeaster more violent 
 than ever, accompanied by snow ; the sea rose as never be- 
 fore and washed away his house, furniture, and all else but 
 his family and horse. His wife at the time was enceinte. 
 He wrapped quilts around her and the younger child, put 
 them on his horse and removed them to the highest place 
 on the beach ; then his four other children to the same 
 place. There they had to remain in the cold and snow un- 
 til the storm subsided, when they were taken to Tucker ton. 
 The children all sickened and died of " inflammatory sore 
 throat." Five other children were afterwards born : 
 
 Ephraim, Jr., married Elizabeth Uppincott in 1772 
 (Blackman, p. 204), and went West. They had a daughter, 
 Hannah, who married Joseph Berry, Sr., and whose chil- 
 dren were Atlantic, John, Ira, Sarah and Chalkley ( Black- 
 man, p. 345) ; also a daughter, Abigail, who married Ger- 
 shom Perdue, of New Martinsburg, Ohio. Jonathan^ 
 settled in the West. Blackman (p. 318) says that Job 
 Mathis, son of Jeremiah Mathis, was mowing in the meadow 
 when Jonathan Morse, who was also mowing there, struck 
 Job on the leg with the scythe, presumed to be an accident. 
 Mortification set in. The leg dropped off on the eleventh 
 day after injury, and Job died. If this was the same Jon- 
 athan, as probably it was, this accident may explain his 
 going West, especially as the Devinneys and others were 
 going West about that time. Amy married a DEVINNEY, 
 probably Richard, Jr. Sarah married Samuel Deacon, a 
 prominent man of Tuckerton. Their children were Eben- 
 ezer T., Samuel, Anion, Ann, Sarah and Catharine (Black- 
 man, p. 391). Abigail, first wife of Jediah Line.

 RICHARD DEVINNEY, Sr. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 Richard Devinney, Sr., (Blackman, p. 388,) was located 
 in Egg Harbor about the middle of the 18th century. He 
 had sons and daughters, among whom was a son 
 
 RICHARD DEVINNEY, Jr. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 i. Richard Devinney, Jr., who is believed to have 
 married Amy Morse. They had at least two children, 
 
 Martha Devinney, who married first Pennell and 
 
 afterwards Seymour Rose (see Martha Devinney) and 
 Delilah Devinney, who married Michael Mick (spelled also 
 Micks). (Blackman, p. 322, says that Martha, daughter of 
 Maja Mathis, married Michael Micks and then went West. 
 This may have been another Michael or a second marriage. 
 Blackman also mentions the marriage of Sarah Adams to 
 Wm. Mick (p. 397). 
 
 2. Eunice Devinney. Married Isaac Cramner, Sr., (son 
 of Stephen Cranmer, Sr., of Bass River). She was the 
 second wife. There were two children by this marriage, 
 William and Zadoc. Both went West (Blackman, p. 305). 
 
 3. Mary Devinney. Married James Pharo (son of James 
 Pharo, Sr.). Their children were Jarvis, John, Asa, Matthew, 
 Mary, Ellen and Phoebe (Blackman, p. 340). 
 
 4. Phoebe Devinney. Married Eli Mathis, Sr., of Bass 
 River, son of John Mathis. He was a justice of the peace 
 and the first proselyte to Methodism in Egg Harbor. Their 
 children were Jeremiah, Asa, Maja and Amasa (Blackman, 
 pp. 321 and 322). 
 
 5. Joseph Devinney. Married Sarah Brown, daughter 
 of Capt. Hezekiah Brown. He went West (Blackman, 
 pp. 379 and 389). 
 
 There was also a John Devnuiey who married Mahala 
 Mathis, daughter of Hezekiah Mathis (Blackman, pp. 317 
 and 389), but it does not seem certain as to the exact rela- 
 tionship. 
 
DEVIXXKY — PENNELL. I'/ 
 
 The male members of the Devinney family all left their 
 birthplace ; most of them settled in the west. The De- 
 vinney and Morse families were connected by marriage. 
 Both names are now extinct in Egg Harbor. 
 
 MARTHA DEVINNEY. 
 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 Martha Devinney, daughter of Richard (' j j I >evinney, 
 Jr., and Amy, his wife, was born in 1 77 1, at Egg Harbor, 
 
 N. J. She first married Pennell, probably in [798, 
 
 and had one child, Joseph I). (Devinney ?) Pennell (see 
 Pennell). She then married Seymour Rose (see Seymour 
 Rose). After his death she removed with her family to 
 Philadelphia to live. She died October 29, 1861, in her 
 90th year, at the residence of her son Samuel, at Olney, Pa., 
 and was buried there. 
 
 For the names of her children see Seymour Rose.
