In the beginning we intended to write a genealogical sketch of William Bowne of the Revolu- 
 tionary War and his descendants only, giving his line of descent hack to the emigrant ancestor. 
 After much of the Bowne matter was already in print, finding that we had collected considerable 
 data of general interest to the Bowne family, we decided to include it. This somewhat breaks the 
 arrangement of the genealogical records, but the data of the Bo.wne family thus collected and pre- 
 served is considered of greater importance than literary style. The records of William Bowne, son 
 of .James and Elizabeth » >. | Hartshorn ) Bowne, and his descendants are fairly complete. The other 
 lines are not. The Bowne family is large and hard to trace, so many have the same name. 
 
 Whenever one mentions the name of Bowne to a genealogist, lie sends up a groan that sounds 
 like the wail of Hagar in the wilderness! We are particularly indebted to Mr. B. E. Bowne, of 
 Sergeantsville, X. .1., to Miss Mary Bowne. of Phila., Pa., to Mr. .1. Addison Bowne. of New York 
 City, for valuable assistance in furnishing family records, and to Mr. James <;. Lee. of Trenton. X. 
 .1.. for kind favors. 
 
 To Mr. H. E. Deals Editor of The Jerseyman, Remington, X. .1.. belongs all the credit for the 
 publication of these records.

 pHE first settlement at Salem, Mass., was be- 
 gun in 1628. The Colonists obtained a 
 patent from the Council of Plymouth in 
 March 1628 ;and Charles 1 issued a charter 
 of incorporation to the proprietors under the name 
 of "The Governor and Company of Massachussetts 
 Bay in" New England " in 1629. " In 1630 about 
 three hundred of the best Puritan families in the 
 kingdom came to New England. Not adventurers, 
 not vagabonds, were these brave people, but virtu- 
 ous, well educated, courageous men and women 
 who for conscience sake left comfortable homes with 
 no expectation of returning. " "Of these persons, 
 all were respectable, and many were from illustri- 
 ous and noble families." f Among these camp 
 William Bowne and Ann his wife. They emi- 
 grated from Yorkshire, England, where a majority 
 of the inhabitants were descendants of the Rom- 
 ans and ancient Britons, and settled at Salem, 
 Essex county. Massachusetts in 1631. William 
 and Ann Bowne left England on account of the 
 cruel religious persecutions so prevalent in that 
 country at the time. He was granted forty acres 
 of laud at Jeffries Creek in 1636. j He remained 
 at Salem for some years, and then removed to 
 Gravesend, L. I. This was probably in KM,"), as 
 Gravesend was settled by English emigrants from 
 Massachusetts about that year. Among these 
 early settlers at Gravesend, we find William 
 Bowne and his son John. William Bowne. was 
 granted a "planter's lot" Nov. 12, 1646 ; U and 
 John Bowne, his son, Sept. 20, 1647. In 1691, 
 Capt. Andrew Bowne, son of William Bowne, 
 sold a "fifteen acre lot. No. 11, in town of Grave- 
 send- wch. did formerly belong to my father." 
 William Bowne was one of the Magistrates of 
 Gravesend, L. I., in 1657. William Bowne and 
 his sons John, James and Andrew emigrated to

 Middletown, Monmouth county, N. J., in 1664. 
 Brief mention of a few historical facts may be 
 of considerable interest to the Bowne family at 
 this time. They occurred nearly two hundred 
 and fifty years ago. 
 
 " In 1663 a company of Puritans, living on Long 
 Island, obtained permission of Governor Stuy- 
 vesant to settle on the hanks of the Raritan." * 
 
 "• A party of about twenty English, all or near- 
 ly all of whom had previously lived in the New 
 England colonies, but most of whom were then 
 settled on Long Island, set out in a sloop from 
 Gravesend, I,. I., in December, 166:!, and sailed 
 across the bay to what is now Monmouth County, 
 for the purpose of purchasing lands of the Indian 
 sachems, with a view to settlement."! 
 
 The men composing this party were John 
 Bowne, William Golding, Richard Gibbons, James 
 Holbert, Charles Morgan, Samuel Spicer, John 
 Totman, Thomas Whitlock, and others — twenty 
 in all. They made two or three more journeys 
 from their homes on Long Island to the southern 
 shores of the bay, and finally purchased from the 
 Indian chief, Poppomora and his people, the three 
 " necks " of land known to the Indians as Newa- 
 sink, Navarumsunk and Pootapeck. Having pur- 
 chased the land of the Indians, "John Bowne, 
 Richard Stout and three others, with their fami- 
 lies, rive families in all, came and made their 
 settlement in the spring or summer of 1664, nearly 
 a year before the patent was issued." 
 
 Charles the Second, King of England, made a 
 royal grant and patent of land, dated March 12, 
 1664, to his brother James, Duke of York, which 
 included all of the present State of New Jersey. 
 King Charles sent out a fleet, with a military 
 force under command of Sir Robert Carr, and Col- 
 onel Richard Nicolls. who had been commissioned 
 Governor by the Duke of York.**

 The fleet arrived at New Amsterdam in August, 
 1664, and that place and all the New Netherlands 
 were surrendered by Governor Stuyvesant to the 
 English on the 27th of the same month. 
 
 Governor Nicolls, in the fall of 1664, issued a 
 proclamation, for the purpose of promoting the 
 formation of new settlements in the country un- 
 der his jurisdiction. A part of which was as 
 
 follows: 
 
 "The Condition for new Planters in the Terri- 
 tories of bis Royal Highness, the Duke of York. 
 The purchases are to be made from the Indian 
 Sachems, and to be recorded before the Governor. 
 All lands thus purchased and possessed 
 shall remain to the Purchasers and their heirs as 
 free lands, to dispose of as they Please. In 
 
 all Territories of his Royal Highness Liberty of 
 Conscience is allowed, provided such Liberty is 
 not connected to Licentiousness, or the Disturb- 
 ance of others in the Exercise of the Protestant 
 Religion. R. Nicolls."* 
 
 This English company of Puritans, living on 
 Long Island and in New England, having ob- 
 tained permission of Governor Stuyvesent to settle 
 on the banks of the Raritan River, commenced 
 their negotiations with the Indian sachems De- 
 cember .">, 1663; and concluded the first Indian 
 purchase of land, which was made from Poppo- 
 mora, chief of the Navesink Indians to John 
 Bowne, James Hubbard, William Golding, Rich- 
 ard Stout, Samuel Spicer, and John Tilton, Jr., 
 all of Gravesend, Long Island, by deed dated Jan- 
 uary 25, 1664— the original record of which is at 
 Albany', N. Y., Liber 3, page 1. The second pur- 
 c h aS( — of Navarumsunk and Pootapeck— is dated 
 April 7. 1665; and the third purchase is dated 
 June .">, 1665. The original record of these deeds 
 is at Albany, N. V.. and copies are also recorded 
 at Perth Amboy and Trenton. N. J. 
 
 Having already complied with the first condi- 
 tions of Governor Nicolls" proclamation, the com- 
 pany made application to the Governor for a 
 -rant to cover the purchase already made and 
 others which they intended to make. This grant 
 embraced all of the present county of Monmouth, 
 and a part of Ocean and Middlesex counties. It 
 is dated April 8, 1<>(;."). It is known as the famous 
 
 •■ Monmouth Patent."

 Richard Nicolls, Esq., Governor under his Royal 
 Highness the Duke of York of all his Territories

 Havin- purchased the land of the Indians, and 
 bavin- secured the Patent from Governor Nicolls. 
 the patentees and their associates began their set- 
 tlements immediately. The Bowne family had 
 actually settled at Middletown fully a year before 
 the patent was -ranted. The Bo wnes contributed 
 toward buying the land in Monmouth of the 
 Indians, and for incidental expenses in treating 
 with them, a greater sum than any other family 
 with only two exceptions. The Town Book of 
 Old Middletown, in its first entry dated Dec. 30, 
 Kit;?, shows that William Bowne was granted lot 
 No. 8 at Portland Point. 
 
The patentees met at Portland Point, July 8, 
 1670 and voted to admit as associates ''a conven- 
 ient number of purchasers who were the first and 
 principal in the purchase of the three necks : 
 Newasink, Navarumsunk and Pootapeck *** 
 henceforth to have a full interest, right and claim 
 in ye Patent given and granted to ye Patentees 
 by Richard Nicolls, Esq., late Governor of New 
 York."* 
 
 William Bowne was the first associate chosen at 
 this meeting. 
 
 William Bowne was horn in Yorkshire, Eng- 
 land, and died at Portland Point in 1677. 
 
 Lettersof Administration were granted toJohn 
 Bowne of Middletown, X. .1., to administer on 
 the estate of his father, William Bowne, "hereto- 
 fore of Gravesend, " and " late of Middletown in 
 New Jersey, in 1677. John is spoken of as being 
 his "eldest son," and he made application for the 
 letters "with the consent of and good liking of 
 the rest of his brethers. "

 John Bowne I William i | was a leader in purcha- 
 sing the land from the Indians: was one of the 
 first live families who made a permanent settle- 
 ment in 1004 ; and was one of the patentees of the 
 Monmouth grant. "Until Captain Bowne'sdeath, 
 in the early part of 1684, he seems to have been the 
 most prominent citizen of the comity, esteemed for 
 his integrity and his ability. He had been com- 
 pelled to have the Massachusetts colony on ac- 
 count of his sympathy with the Baptists, and he 
 was one of the founders of the Baptist church at 
 Middletown. He appeared as a deputy to the 
 first Assembly in Governor Carteret's time, which 
 met May 26, 1668. the" members of the Lower 
 House being then called 'burgesses.' He was 
 deputy again in 1675, after Carteret's return 
 from England : and in the first Legislature under 
 the twenty-four proprietors, in 1683, he was a 
 member and the Speaker, and acted until the De- 
 eeinber following. He held other positions of 
 trust. March 12, 1077, a commission was issued 
 to him as president of the court to hold a term at 
 Middletown. In December, 1083, shortly before 
 ns last illness, he was appointed major of the 
 nilitia of Monmouth county." As stated, Cap- 
 ■ain John Bowne was one of the founders of 
 he Baptist Church at Middletown, N. J., which 
 vas constituted in 1668; being the first Baptist

 organization in the State of New Jersey. "The 
 first who preached at Middletown was Mr. John 
 Bowne :: ■ it was he who gave the lot on which 
 the first meeting house was built, "f Captain 
 John Bowne died January 3, 1684, and "his 
 universally recognized character was that of an 
 .upright, conscientious Christian man." 
 
 Captain John Bowne married Lydia Holmes, a 
 daughter of Rev. Obadiah Holmes. He was born 
 in Preston, Lancashire, England, in 1606 ; died at 
 Newport, R. L, Oct. 15, 1682 ; married in 1636. 
 He arrived in 1638, and settled in Salem, Mass., 
 1039, where he engaged with two other persons 
 in the manufacture of glass, probably the first in 
 that business in America. He continued in the 
 Congregational Church at Salem, and then at Re- 
 hoboth, about eleven years, after which he be- 
 came a Baptist, and subsequently joined that 
 church. He is the man who received such a cruel 
 scourging of thirty lashes with a three-corded 
 whip, at the instance of the Puritan ministers of 
 Massachusetts, for undertaking "to preach and 
 baptize !" + He was the second pastor of the 
 second Baptist church organized in America, at 
 Newport. 1.'. L, in 1044. Here he remained in 
 the pastoral office from 1652 till his death, thirty 
 years. Rev. Obadiah Holmes was one of the twelve 
 patentees of the Monmouth grant, although he 
 did not settle in that county. 
 
 Lydia Holmes was a sister to Judge Obadiah 
 Holmes of Cohansey. N. J., who was for a long 
 time a judge of the court, and a Baptist preacher 
 of that place. He died 1701.

 Cornbury's Council Aug. 10, 1703. Gov. Andrew 
 Bowne died in 1708, leaving a daughter Eliza- 
 beth, who married her cousin Obadiah Bowne. 
 but left no male issue. 
 
 .lames Bowne (William* ) was born and bap- 
 tised in Salem, Mass.. 1636 ; died at Middletown, 
 N. J., 1692; administration was granted on his 
 estate 1695 ; married Mary Stout, 1665. She was 
 a daughter of Richard Stout by his wife Penelope 
 Van Princes. The records show that Richard 
 Stout's daughters, Mary, Alice and Sarah, "are 
 to come of age since the year 1007." That is, 
 Sarah Stout, the youngest, would be eighteen 
 years old in 1607. So Mary Stout was probably 
 
 born in 1645. 
 
 " Richard Stout was one of the twelve men 
 named in the Monmouth Patent. Under grants 
 and concessions his name heads the list of claim- 
 ants as recorded in Surveyor's office at Perth Am- 
 boy. In the allotments of Town lots at Middle- 
 town, recorded Dec. 30th, 1667, Richard Stout 
 was appointed to assist in laying out the lots. In 
 1669 he was one of the so-called overseers of Mid- 
 dletown. Richard Stout was prominent in public 
 affairs in the new settlement and his name fre- 
 quently mentioned in Freehold records. In 1690 
 Kichard Stout and his wife Penelope conveyed to 
 Benjamin Stout all the tract and plantation 
 whereon they then lived at Hop River, after de- 
 cease of himself and wife Penelope. The will of 
 Richard Stout, first of the family, is tiled in Sec- 
 retary <»f State's office at Trenton. It is dated 
 June 9th, 1703, and was proved October, 1705.* 
 " Richard Stout was one of the most respectable 
 and respected men in his day in the Monmouth 
 settlement."t "Penelope Van Princes was born 
 at Amsterdam, Holland, about 1602 ; her father's 
 name was Van Princes ; she and her first husband 
 i whose name is not known) sailed tor New Vork, 
 i then New Amsterdam,) about the year 1620. 
 The vessel was stranded at Sandy Hook: the 
 crew got ashore and marched toward the said New 
 York; but Penelope's (lor that was her name) 
 husband being hurt in the wreck, could not 
 march with them : therefore he and the wife tar- 
 riid in the woods : they had not been long in tin- 
 place before the Indians killed them both I as 
 they thought), and stripped them to the skin ; 
 however, l'enolope came to, though her skull was 
 fractured and her left shoulder so hacked that she 
 could never use that arm like the other ; she 
 was also cut across the abdomen so that her 
 bowels appeared ; these she kept in with 
 her hand : she continued in this situation for

 seven days, taking shelter in a hollow tree and 
 eating the excrescence of it ; the seventh day she 
 saw a deer passing by with arrows sticking in it, 
 and soon after two Indians appeared, whom she 
 was glad to see, in hope they would put her out 
 of her misery ; accordingly, one made towards her 
 to knock her in the head ; but the other, who 
 was an elderly man, prevented him, and throw- 
 ing his match coat about her carried her to his 
 wigwam-, and cured her of her wounds and bruis- 
 es. After that he took her to New York and 
 made a present of her to her countrymen, viz : an 
 Indian present expecting ten times the value in 
 return. It was in New York that one Richard 
 Stout married her ; he was a native of England 
 and of a good family. She was now in her 22d 
 year, and he in his 40th. She bore him seven 
 sons and three daughters, viz : Jonathan (founder 
 of Hopewell), John, Richard, James, Peter, Da- 
 vid, Benjamin, Mary, Sarah, and Alice. The 
 daughters married into the families of the Bownes, 
 Pikes, Throckmortons and Skeltons, and so lost 
 the name of Stout ; the sons married into the fam- 
 ilies of Bullen, Crawford, Ashton, Fraux, &c, 
 and had many children. The mother lived to the 
 age of 110. and saw her offspring multiplied into 
 .-)<>;.> in about 88 years."* 
 
 Richard Stout was born in Nottinghamshire, 
 England, in 1584 : died in 170.", ; married Pene- 
 lope Van Princes in New Amsterdam, in 1624 ; 
 was one of the thirty-nine original settlers of 
 Gravesend, Long Island, 1645 ; removed with his 
 family to Middletown, N. J., 1664, and was one 
 of the first five families of said settlement. 
 
 James Bowne was one of the interpreters at the 
 first purchase of land from the chief of the Neve- ^ 
 sink Indians. .Ian. 25. 1064 ; and this fact shows * 
 that he was a young man of intelligence, and that 
 he had previously had considerable intercourse 
 with the Indians. James Bowne contributed to- 
 ward buying the land in Monmouth county of 
 the Indians and for incidental expenses in treat- 
 ing with them.t 
 
 He was chosen a deputy for Portland Point, at 
 a meeting of the inhabitants of Shrewsbury, on 
 Narumsunk Neck, December 14, 1667, designated 
 in its proceedings as -'The General Assembly of 
 the Patentees & Deputies." James Bowne was 
 Chosen one of the ••Overseers'- of Middletown, 
 May 26, 1669. "May the 25th, 1669, JAMES 
 BOWNE was this day by the pluralities of votes 
 chosen deputy to act with the patentees at a gen- 
 eral court or the adjournment thereof to be held

 We wish to remark in passing, that one histor- 
 ian speaks disparagingly of Richard Stout, be- 
 cause he signed his name by mark. It must be 
 remembered that he was an aged and infirm man 
 at this time, being eighty -six years old. 
 
 James Bowne was a deputy at Portland Point, 
 July 5, 1670. Sept. 23, 1685, he was commission- 
 ed a Minister of Justice, & subscribed to the fol- 
 lowing oath:

 In the list of warrants giving names of persons 
 who claimed lands under "Grants & Concessions" 
 issued in 1675, we find: "James Bowne in right

 & surveyed were issued by the Proprietors to James 
 Bowne 240 acres; & to Mary Stout, -wife of James

 Judge .lames Bowne was one of the founders of 
 the Baptist Church of Middletown, N. J., which 
 was the first church of that denomination in the 
 state of New Jersey. He held various offices of 
 honor & trust, both by election & appointment; all 
 of which he filled with eminent ability & strict 
 integrity, & to the entire satisfaction of the people. 
 This is evident from the fact, that he held some 
 official position, from the time he was interpreter 
 at the first purchase of land from the chief of the 
 Nevesink Indians, at the court of Governor Nich- 
 olls. in New York City in 1604, until the time of 
 his drath-t went y-eight years. Judge James Bowne 
 was one of the most prominent men in Monmouth 
 county, during his time.

 John Bowne, (Jamesa William,) was born in 
 Middletown, Monmouth county, N. J., probably 
 in 1670. He was called John Bowne, "cordwainer" 
 to distinguish him from his cousin-Capt. John 
 Bowne. Little is really known about this John 
 Bowne. He was a ropemaker & farmer by trade 
 and occupation, but seems to have taken no part 
 in the political affairs of his day. He was a mem- 
 ber of the Baptist Church of Middletown, N. J.,

 dition in the family is that at the close of the war 
 he bad "a bushel of continental money." which

 born in Monmouth county, New Jersey, August 
 4, 1750; died in Trenton, N. J., about 1842: mar- 
 ried Anna Deats. She was a daughter of William 
 and Mary Deats. William Deals was a wheelrigbt 
 by occupation, and is said to have been "a work- 
 man of great skill and ingenuity." He lived about 
 four miles north-west of Eleniington, N. J. His 
 will is dated Dec. 1, 1823; and was probated Fel). 
 13, 1823.* 
 
 William Bowne was a soldier in the second 
 regiment of the New Jersey troops in the Revolu- 
 tionary war. He was in the Battle of Monmouth 
 with Colonel Ogden's regiment, which had been 
 on the match and in the battle since early morn- 
 ing, and being worn out with thirst, hunger and 
 fatigue, was ordered by Washington to be with- 
 drawn. Colonel Ogden's troops were the last to 
 leave their position, covering the retreat and act- 
 ing as a rear-guard to the retreating forces of Var- 
 imm, Livingston, and Oswald. t

 Sir :— 
 
 Replying to your recent communication you 
 are advised that William Bowne made an applica- 
 tion for pension on August 4th, 1820, at which 
 time he was 70 years of age and residing in Hun- 
 terdon county, N. J., and his pension was allowed 
 for eighteen months actual service as a private in

 During the Revolutionary war many of the 
 New Jersey tories, or refugees, tied to the state of 
 New York, and were formed into a military corps 
 under the name of "The Associated Loyalists."

New Jersey certainly was very greatly afflicted 
 by these tory marauding parties, and the Whig in- 
 habitants of Monmouth county were compelled to 
 draw up articles of agreement for the purpose of 
 retaliation. It is dated June, 1779, and is now in 
 the office of the Secretary of State, Trenton, N. J. 
 It is signed by four hundred and thirty-six per- 
 sons, and William Bowne's name is among them.* 
 
 The Bowne Family was well represented in the 
 American army during the Revolutionary war. 
 In Adjutant General W. S. Stryker's "Official 
 Register of the Officers and Men of New Jersey in 
 the Revolutionary War," we find :. Joseph, Bowne. 
 Corp., Peter Bowne, ensign, David. Klias, James, 
 Peter, Joseph, Samuel and William Bowne — nine 
 members of the Bowne family from one county ! 
 This fact tells the story of their coinage, their 
 patriotism and their devotion to liberty. 
 
 After the war William Bowne remained in Mon- 
 mouth county until 1787, at which time he con- 
 veyed land to John Bowne, ' probably his brother,) 
 removed to Hunterdon county, and soon after 
 married Anna Deats. He located at Cherryville, 
 Hunterdon County. X. J., where he resided for 
 many years. He was by trade and occupation a 
 shoemaker. 
 
 There was an Independence Jubilee held in 
 Flemington, N. J., in 1826, and the venerable 
 survivors of 1770 joined the procession at the 
 court house. t William Bowne was in the pro- 
 cession. 
 
 William and Anna (Deats) Bowne were living 
 at Cherryville, Hunterdon, N. J., as late as 1840 : 
 at which time she was seventy-three, and he nine- 
 ty years of age. 
 
 He is said to have removed to Trenton. N. J., 
 where he died probably in 1842, but the exact 
 date of his death has not been ascertained. He is 
 buried in the graveyard at Hamilton Square, New 
 Jersey. 
 
 There was one trait in William Bowne's charac- 
 ter most worthy of emulation by his descendants. 
 He was an ardent patriot, firm in the faith that 
 America was right, and the greatest nation on 
 earth. Broad and charitable in other matters, he 
 always resented any aspersions on his state or 
 country, when uttered in his piesence.

 The Reading family reaches back centuries be- 
 yond the Norman Conquest of 1066 for its origin- 
 back into the gray uncertain dawn of the first per- 
 iod of the literary annals of England. "The pre- 
 cise antiquity of the surname Reading is difficult 
 to determine. The name is supposed, whoever, 
 to have had its genesis during the period of the 
 Saxon Heptarchy, and to have been derived from 
 the Saxon tribe Badingas, the decendants of 
 Reada.*** Certain it is that the family Reading, 
 never a numerous one, was of ancient seating in 
 Hertfordshire and in London and that the sur- 
 name was variously spelled and indifferently used 
 by earlier members thereof as de Redynge, Ryd- 
 inge, Redding and Beading."*

 Berks County. England, at the junction of the 
 Kennet and Thames rivers, thirty-eight miles 
 west of London. It must have been a town of 
 considerable importance at a very early day under 
 bheSaxon kings, as the Danes, "toward the close 
 of the ninth century, seized itscastle and intrench- 
 ed themselves therein after their defeat at the 
 battle ..I' Ashdown by Etherwolf, Earl of Berk- 
 shire."t The Danes again attacked this town 
 ami almost destroyed it. on the invasion of Swyn, 
 kin- of Denmark, in 1006. It was still an im- 
 portant town soon after this, as Prince John sum- 
 moned a general council of the nobility and pre- 
 lates at Reading in 11914 It was garrisoned by 
 King Charles in 1643, and esteemed a place of 
 considerable strength at that time.

 Heading was in the Parliament from Suffolk Coun- 
 ty from 1304 to 1309. William Heading was high 
 sheriff of London in 1316.

 a history of Edward IPs reign, which Dr. Luard 
 says : " must rank as of equal authority with the 
 other chroniclers of that time: " He died in 1325.

 "Colonel John Reading, the founder of the 
 New Jersey family of this surname, was with- 
 out doubt of gentle birth, and enjoyed in his 
 youth the advantages of a good education . It is 
 thought that he was of London. England, or that 
 vicinity, where a family of the name has been 
 seated from at least the thirteenth century. "t 
 
 Colonel John Reading and Elizabeth his wife 
 emigrated from England, and settled at (Uouces- 
 ter New Jersey, prior to 10H4. He was one of 
 the largest landed proprietors in the Province, a 
 man of large wealth, prominent social standing, 
 and took an active part in the affairs of the col- 
 ony. He was a surveyor by occupation, and fol- 
 lowed that business all his life. He was elected 
 a member of the Assembly, and attended its ses- 
 sions at Burlington, 1685 ; again in 1697 ; and 
 again in 1701, at which session he was clerk of 
 
 that body. 
 
 He was Clerk of Gloucester county from 1688 
 
 to 1702, inclusive, being annually elected, lie 
 was appointed, by the Provincial Council of 
 West Jersey, one of the three commissioners to 
 treat with the Indians for the purchase of land 
 from the chief Himhammoe ; and also another 
 tract from the chief Coponnockons.. They pur- 
 chased of these chiefs all the land lying between 
 the Raritan and Delaware river, and reported to 
 the Council June 27, 1703. This was the great 
 tract of one hundred and fifty thousand acres. 
 
 Colonel John Reading retired from the office of 
 Clerk of (iloucester county at the close of 1702. 
 and soon after removed to "Mount Am- 
 well," an estate of four thousand acres, situated 
 along the Delaware river, in what is now Hun- 
 terdon county. He was without doubt the first 
 white settler of old Amwell township. :; He was 
 commissioned one of the Judges of the Supreme 
 Court of the Province in 1712. He was " elected

 died at Walnut Grove, April 11, 1774. She was 
 a daughter of George Ryerson. Esq., of Bergen 
 County, New Jersey, by his wife Anna Sellout, 
 widow of Tunis Direckson Dey. She was bap- 
 tised March 17, 1666, and died March 17, 1743. 
 
 George Ryerson was born in Brooklyn. N. Y., 
 Sept. 19, 1666; died in Bergen County, N. J., 
 1719 ; married Anna Sehout. Aug. 11,1691. He 
 removed from Brooklyn, New York, to Peqnan- 
 nock, Bergen County. New Jersey, probably in 
 1701. 
 
 He was a prominent man in Bergen county and 
 for nearly twenty-live years one of the judges of 
 the county courts. His son George was one of 
 the judges of the same county for many years: 
 and his son .Martin was one of the leading men in 
 Hunterdon county,— a deacon in the Readington 
 Church, a justice of the peace as early as 1773, 
 and one of the judges of the court of Common 
 Pleas from 1739 to 1751. George Ryerson was a 
 son of Martin ( 1 ) Ryerson, the emigrant, by his 
 wife Ann Rapalie. Martin Ryerson is said to 
 have been a French Huguenot, who fled from 
 France to Holland. He emigrated from Amster- 
 dam, Holland, to New Amsterdam ( now New- 
 York City) in 1646. He married Ann Rapalie 
 March 14, 1663. She was born Feb. 8, 1646, a 
 daughter of Joris Jansen Rapalie, a French Hu- 
 guenot born in Rochelle, France, by his wife Cata- 
 lina Trico. She was born in Paris, France, in 
 1605, and was a daughter of Jeromynus Trico of 
 Paris. She died Sept. 11. 16*9. Joris Jansen 
 Rapalie emigrated with his family from Holland 
 in the ship "Unity," and came to New Amster- 
 dam in 1623. He settled first at Fort Orange, N. 
 Y. (now Albany), and his daughter Sarah, born 
 June 9, 1625, is said to have been the first white 
 female child bom of European parents in New 
 Netherlands. The original Rapalie family record

 son had four sons: George. Ryer, Francis and 
 Abraham. George and Anna (Sellout) Ryerson 
 had eight children : Martin, John, Luke, George, 
 Mary, Blandina, Elizabeth and Ann. 
 
 John Reading, the younger, enjoyed the advan- 
 tages of a liberal education in early youth, which 
 seems to have been of superior character, as he 
 was educated in Europe, where he remained nine 
 years devoted to study. 
 
 John Reading was nominated by Governor Hun- 
 ter to a seat in the provincial council November 3 
 1718; his nomination was confirmed bv the Kirn-- 
 June 24, 1720; and he was sworn into office and 
 took his place in the council March 25, 1721. He 
 was appointed by Governor Hunter one of the 
 commissioners to run the boundary line between 
 New York and New Jersey March 28, 1719. And 
 also, about the same time, he was appointed one 
 of the commissioners to run the line between East 
 and West New Jersey. August 12, 1720, the coun- 
 cil of proprietors of West New Jersey, by unani- 
 mous vote selected John Reading as surveyor to 
 assist James Alexander, surveyor-general of the 
 Province, "in running the said division line 
 throughout the whole work." He was commission- 
 ed Colonel of the military regiment of infantry 
 for the county of Hunterdon Feb. 10, 1727; and 
 commissioned surrogate of Hunterdon and Somer- 
 set counties August IS, 1727. 
 
 November 6, 1728, he was appointed by the 
 Crown one of the judges "to try pirates." 
 
 He was appointed judge of the court of common 
 pleas of Hunterdon county Feb. 10, 1727. He 
 was appointed by the King one of the commis- 
 sioners to define the boundary line between the 
 colonies of Massachusetts and Rhode Island in 
 1740. This appointment was highly complimen- 
 tary to Hon. John Reading, and furnishes addi- 
 tional testimony to his high reputation as a sur- 
 veyor.* Governor Lewis Morris died May 21, 
 1746, and the government of the State devolved 
 on John Hamilton, Esq., president of the council. 
 He died June 17, 1747, and immediately after his 
 death the council met and Hon. John Reading, 
 being the next oldest councilor, was sworn into 
 office as governor and commander-in-chief, being 
 the first native-born Jerseyman to govern the 
 State of New Jersey, t

 Governor Reading was succeeded by Jonathan 
 Belcher, Esq, Aug. 1<>, 1747. He remained in 
 office until his death, August 31, 1757. Hon. 
 John Reading being president of the council, 
 again took the oath of office as governor and com- 
 mander-in-chief of New Jersey, and " the great 
 Seal of the Colony and the Seal of the prerogative 
 (unit were delivered to him," September 9, 1757. 
 He had charge of the administration of the colony 
 until .June 111. 1758, when he was succeeded by 
 Hon. Francis Bernard, who had arrived from Fn<>;- 
 land with a commission as Governor.*. 
 
 John Reading's name appears at the head of the 
 council, in the King's ''Letter of Instructions'' to 
 Governor Bernard, but he had determined to retire

 Captain Thomas Reading was born at "Walnut 
 Grove," in Old Am well township, Hunterdon 
 county, N. J.. Sept. 27. 17:>4; died where he was 
 born, and had lived all his life December 14, 1814. 
 He married Rebecca Ellis, daughter of Jonathan 
 Ellis by his wife Mary Hollingshead. He was a 
 son of Simeon Ellis by his wife Sarah Rates. 
 
 Rebecca Ellis was born in the village of Had- 
 donfield, Newton township, Gloucester (now Cam- 
 den i county, N. J. 
 
 The date of the arrival of Simeon Ellis in New 
 Jersey is not known. His first purchase of real 
 estate consisted of two hundred acres of land con- 
 veyed to him by Francis Collins, in 1691. It was 
 bounded h\ the north side of the north branch of 
 Cooper's Creek. He built his house on this tract 
 near the stream, ashort distance from the public 
 load, which had been laid out by the commission-

 ers only a short time before. It was then a practice 
 to designate every gentleman, s '"seat" by a par- 
 ticular name, and he adopted that of "Springwell". 
 
 Here he lived and died; and here all his child- 
 ren were born. Simeon Ellis bought four hundred 
 acres of land adjoining his first purchase of Elias 
 and Margaret Hugg, in 1005. These purchases in- 
 clude the present village of Ellisburg, N J., and 
 are "almost equally divided by the Camden and 
 Marlton turnpike, and the Moorestovvn and Had- 
 donlield road." He made several other purchases, 
 some of which lay on the south side of the same 
 stream. Sarah, widow of Simeon Ellis, bought 
 four hundred acres in Newton township of Isaac 
 Hollingsham in 1717; and in 1718 she bought an 
 adjoining tract of her son Thomas Ellis. She was 
 one of the largest land holders in that township. 
 'The landed estate of Simeon Ellis and of his 
 widow Sarah, in her own right, was therefore 
 large; and lying as it mostly does, in the improved 
 sections of Camden county, if taken as a whole, 
 it would now be of much value."' 
 
 Simeon Ellis was a member of the Society of 
 Friends, and took no part in the political troubles 
 of the times in which he lived. He married Sarah 
 Bates, daughter of William Bates, at the old New- 
 ton meeting house, in 1692. She was born in the 
 town of Wickloe, county of Wickloe, Ireland, at 
 which place her father was living in 1070. 
 
 The town of Wickloe is situated on the coast of 
 the Irish sea. about thirty miles south of Dublin. 
 William Bates was a carpenter by occupation, 
 and had '•formerly come thither from England," 
 as stated by Thomas Sharp. William Bates was 
 dragged to jail for attending a religious meeting 
 of the Society of Friends, held at the house of 
 Thomas Ti afford, in the town of Wickloe, and 
 there confined for several weeks. A deed dated 
 April 12, 1077, from William Penn and others, 
 reads "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, for one whole share of 
 Propriety in West New Jersey."t 
 
 Four years after the date of this deed, some 
 Friends living in Ireland, but who had formerly 
 come from England, sent to Thomas Lurtin of 
 London, and made an agreement with him to 
 transport them ami their families to New Jersey. 
 They were Mark Newby and family ; Thomas 
 Thackara and family ; William Bates and family ; 
 George Goldsmith, an old man, and Thomas 
 Sharp, a young man, both without families. They

sailed from Dublin harbor Sept. 19, 1681, and ar- 
 rived at Elsinburg, Salem county, N. J., on the 
 19th of November following. They went to Bur- 
 lington to see the commissioner and obtained a 
 warrant of the surveyor-general, Daniel Leeds. 
 Thomas Sharp says: "After some considerable 
 search to and fro in that then was called the third 
 or Irish tenth, are at last pitched upon the place 
 now called Newton, which was before the settle- 
 ment of Philadelphia ; and then applied to said 
 surveyor, who came and laid it out for us ; and 
 the next spring, being the beginning of the year 
 1682, we all removed from Salem together." 
 
 William Hates took two hundred and fifty acres 
 on the south side of Newton creek, which was 
 surveyed for him March 10. 1682. At the upper 
 end of this tract he built his home. Two years 
 later he had two hundred and fifty acres more 
 surveyed for him adjoining the first purchase ; and 
 subsequently lie purchased other land adjoining 
 of Robert Turner. He also bad an interest in 
 common in the meadow land at trie mouth of 
 Kaighn'srun. "As the master mechanic, there 
 can be no doubt who planned and built the first 
 meeting house at Newton in Hi- I ; who construct- 
 ed the rude seats and erected the plain, unpre- 
 tending galleries, in which sat the forefathers of 
 this people, who were faithfully carrying out the 
 belief and the form of religious worship brought 
 with them across the sea. To the descendants of 
 William Bates this is a reminiscence worthy to be 
 remembered, and to be told to theii children, be- 
 coming more interesting as the lapse of time in- 
 creases."* 
 
 William Bates was elected a member of the 
 Legislature of West New Jersey in 1683 : and 
 was appointed constable the same year. He was 
 again elected to the Legislature in 1684, and was 
 appointed one of the commissioners for laying out 
 highways the same year. His children were bom 
 in Ireland. William Bates died in 1700. leaving 
 a will.* 
 
 The children of William Kates were : 
 Jeremiah Bates ; married Mary Spicer. 
 Joseph Bates ; married Mercy Clement in 1701. 
 William Bates, married. 
 
 Abigail Bates ; married Joshua Frame in 1687. 
 Sarah Bates ; married Simeon Ellis in 1692. 
 Simeon Ellis died in 1715. disposing of his 
 property among bis children by will. His per- 
 sonal effects amounted to two hundred and fifty- 
 three pounds, sterling, by appraisement. The es- 
 tate of Simeon Ellis was much above the average 
 of that time.*

 Meeting, Burlington county, N. J. Elizabeth 
 Adams was born in the city of Beading, Berks 
 county, England, 1064, and was a daughter of 
 John Adams by his wife Elizabeth Fenwick. John 
 and Elizabeth (Fenwick) Adams, with their 
 three children— Elizabeth, aged 11 years; Fen- 
 wick, aged 9 years, and Mary, aged 4 years- 
 came to America with the Fenwick colony in 1675. 
 In a memorandum in the hand-writing of Samuel 
 Hedge who came to America anno 1675, in the 
 ship "Griffin," with John Fenwick and his colo- 
 nists, and afterward married his daughter, Anna 
 Fenwick, says : "The Shipp called the Griffin ar-

 the Duke of York conveyed^to Lord Berkeley and 
 Sir George Carteret the province of New Jersey. 
 Lord Berkeley's claim was then an undivided half 
 subsequently known as West New Jersey. In 
 1673 John Fenwick and Edward Byllinge, mem- 
 bers of the society of Friends, purchased Lord 
 Berkeley's claim for £1000.* It was conveyed to 
 Fenwick in trust for Byllinge. This tract was 
 afterward divided into one hundred parts, called 
 tenths. One tenth belonged to John Fenwick. 
 " In 1675 Fenwick set sail to visit the new pur- 
 chase, and in a ship, from London, called the 
 Griffith. Arriving after a good passage he landed 
 at a pleasant, rich spot, situate near the Dela-

 Salem was therefore named by John Fenwick, 
 and distinguished as his tenth. It then included 
 within its limits Salem, Cumberland and Cape 
 May counties, more than 242,000 acres. " Jona- 
 than Ellis lived in Haddonlield. where he bought 
 a lot on the west side of main street of John Gill, 
 in 1733. He built a house on this lot, and sold 
 the property to John Kaighn in 1736."}

 liam 1 ,) was born in Lower Freehold, Monmouth 
 county, N. J., May 17, 1735; died in 1812; mar- 
 ried Hannah Anderson July 18 1763.* She was 
 horn in 17:59; died 1823. In a dvvd dated 1799, 
 he is called "Joseph Bowne of Freehold," and 
 sells land on the Metetecunk River. The deed is 
 signed by Joseph and Hannah Bowne, and is wit- 
 nessed by Janus Bowne. Joseph Bowne was a 
 soldier in the army of the American Revolution, 
 and on his farm. June 28, 1778, was fought the 
 battle of Monmouth, one of the most sanguinary 
 battles of the Revolutionary war. It is not possi- 
 ble to describe what must have been the mental 
 anguish of Joseph Bowne on that memorable morn- 
 ing as he went into battle facing the flower of the 
 British army — the British and Hessian Grenadiers.

 He had not only to witness the desolation of his 
 home, but he did not know, lie could not have 
 known, the fate of his own family, the wife and 
 seven small children, one an infant in its mother's 
 arms, driven from their home into the woods and 
 swamps to suffer hunger and thirst, and danger of 
 capture by a cruel and relentless foe. After two 
 days they returned to find their home in ruins. 
 The depredations and devastations of the British 
 army, in some parts of Freehold, exceeded any 
 others they made in their route through the state. 
 In the neighborhood just above Freehold they 
 burnt and destroyed eight dwelling houses, all on 
 adjoining farms, besides barns and other outbuild- 
 ings. Below the town they burnt four more 
 houses.! After the battle of Monmouth had been 
 fought, and the British army had retreated from 
 the Held of battle, Joseph Bowne knew his home 
 was in ruins. 
 
 Joseph Bowne is buried at Tennent. near Free- 
 hold, Monmouth county. N. J.

 Ground, Middletown, X. J. It reads: "James, 
 son of Obadiah Bowne, died June 16, 1807, aged 
 36 years, 2 months, 4 days." He gave property 
 to Samuel and Joseph Bowne, sons of Joseph 
 Bowne, to "two nieces, Anna and Catharine Win- 
 ter, daughters of Andrew and Rachel Winter." He 
 mentions "two nephews, Andrew and Obadiah 
 Winter, and their brother .lames Winter." He 
 gave to the last named, James Winter, a tract of 
 woodland, which "was bought of John Stout." 
 
 Rachel Bowne, (Obadiah?, Obadiah 4 , James3, 
 James 2 , Williami,) was born at Middletown, 
 N. J., probably in 177:5 ; died prior to 1*07, as 
 her brother. James, died that year, and while he 
 mentions his sister's children, he leaves no prop- 
 erty to her ; which would indicate she was de- 
 ceased. She married Andrew Winter.

 We will now go back and pick up some of the 
 dropped stitches in these genealogies. John 
 Bowne, "cordwainer," son of James Bowne by 
 his wife Mary Stout, had three sons, Andrew, 
 James and Samuel. Andrew Bowne, son of John 
 and Elizabeth Bowne, was living in Hunterdon 
 county, N. J., on the "Society's Tract" in 1735.* 
 He died without issue in 1780. James Bowne 
 married in 174:*.. and could not have had a son old 
 enough to marry in 17r>:>, therefore. William 
 Bowne, grandson of John Bowne, must have been 
 a son of Samuel Bowne. Almost nothing is known 
 of this Samuel Bowne. It is probable that he died 
 while his son William was a child, and William 
 was brought up by his grandfather, John Bowne. 
 William Bowne, (SamueH, John3, James 2 , 
 Williami,) was born at Middletown, N. J., mar- 
 ried Phebe Davis J uly 28, 1755. t He is called in 
 a deed in 1771, "Wm. Bowne of Middletown 
 Cordwainer." He resided on his grandfather's 
 (John Bowne,) homestead, and recorded his 
 grandfather's sheep mark. He was a farmer and 
 ropemaker like his grandfather before him.

 Bowne of Middletown in 17*7 ; and was taxed 111 
 Middletown township in 1794.

 ing pronounced the valedictory of the graduating 
 class in a clear, fervent, and at intervals an elo- 
 quent address. .Mr. Heading was acute, precise 
 and effective. We will not particularize his more 
 striking passages, hut it has seldom been our lot 
 to listen to a valedictory address more generally 
 to the purpose and freer from vanity and affecta- 
 tion. We predict for him usefulness and credit 
 in the medical profession."* 
 
 'Dr. Reading's standing as a teacher in New 
 Jersey was very high, and his work as a teacher 
 was attended with an unusual degree of success. 
 He bewail the practice of medicine at 
 Baptist town, this state, and soon acquired a wide 
 practice and a high standing as a skillful physi- 
 cian, "t 
 
 Dr. Reading remained at Baptistown rive years, 
 and then removed to Prince William county, 
 Virginia, where he practiced his piofession until 
 1883, when, his health failing, he ceased active 
 practice. He now lives in retirement at " Box- 
 wood," an estate, near Aden, Va.

 Captain Thomas Reading married Rebecca p]llis 
 whose ancestry has been traced to Major John 
 Fenwick. [See The Jerseymav, Vol. 7, No. 2, page 
 15.] The follow ing historical facts are of interest 
 to the descendants of Anne [Bowne] Reading. 
 
 The Fenwick family is of Saxon origin and 
 formed a powerful clan in Northumberland where 
 ''their ancient fastness was in the fenny lands 
 about Stamfordham, a small town near the south- 
 ern boundary oi the shire before named. During 
 the reign of Henry I [A.D. 1100] the Head of the 
 house was advanced by the King, and with vari- 
 ous changes it was prominent in England for 
 several centuries." * 
 
 The clan was known as the fieice and fearless 
 Fenwicks. '1 heir slogan or war cry was 'A Fen- 
 wick! A Fenwick! A Fenwick!" 
 
 "The Tower of Fenwick at Waddington, in 
 Northumberland, near the coast of the North Sea, 
 shows its antiquity in its rude strength and scanty 
 limits, simliar to those built by the Saxon invad- 
 ers during the fifth and sixth centuries. This was 
 probably the first seat of the family after their 
 coming over and w hence it may be traced through 
 many of the shires of England. In the ninth year 
 of the reign of Edward III [1334] an inquisition 
 was had of New Castle Castle and Johannes Fen- 
 wick was twice appointed sheriff.! In the twelfth 
 century "Sir Robert Fenwick, of Northumberland 
 endowed the Abbey of New Minster, in the same 
 shire, with two parts of his villa of Irdington, in 
 Cumberland, thus showing his liberality towards 
 and his adherence to the Catholic Church 4 
 
 In the ninth year of the reign of King Henry 
 VII [1517] "Roger Fenwick Esq., was appointed 
 constable of the same castle, show ing that through 
 several centuries the family had not only remain- 
 ed in this place but was in favor with and had 
 the confidence of the ruling monarchs."§ 
 
 James, Duke of Monmouth, son of Charles II, 
 married Anne Scott, heiress of Buccleugh, whose 
 second son, Henry, married Elizabeth Fenwick, 
 "thus connecting the family with the blood 
 royal."** 
 
 John Fenwick was born at Stanton Hall, of 
 Stanton Manor, in the parish of Horsely, Cumber- 
 land, in 1618; died in Salem county, N. J., in 
 December 1683; married [1641] "Elizabeth, 
 daughter of Sir Walter Covert, Knight of .Slang- 
 ban, Sussex. This lady was the mother of his 
 children, and from her came the direct and col- 
 lateral branches in New Jersey. "tt John Fen-

 wick was the second son of Sir William Fenwick, 
 baronet, whose residence in 1640, was Stanton 
 Hall, of Stanton Manor, in Cumberland, where 
 he had considerable landed estate. He represented 
 the county of Northumberland in the last parlia- 
 ment under the Commonwealth in 1659. In 1636 
 John Fenwick was styled Knight and Baronet. 
 Having passed through his law studies at Grays 
 Inn, London [1640,] he abandoned his profession 
 for a time and accepted an appointment in the 
 Parliamentary army. His first commission reads 
 
 as follows: 
 
 "You are hereby ordered and required as 
 Major under Colonel Thomas Barwis in his regi- 
 ment of cavalry which was raised in the county 
 of Westmoreland to assist the garrison of Carlisle, 
 and to exercise the officers and soldiers under his 
 command according to the discipline of war. And 
 they are hereby required to yield obedience unto 
 you as Major of said regiment, etc., etc. 
 
 (liven under my hand and seal at Barnard Cas- 
 tle. -27th October, 164*. 
 
 ( ). Cromwell. 
 
 To John Fenwick."* 
 In the same year he was ordered by Parliament 
 to relieve Holy Island Castle, in Durham. It was 
 beseiged by the royal troops, and was nearly cap- 
 tured, when Major Fenwick appeared and defeat- 
 ed the enemy. He was an active and efficient 
 officer, having the confidence of Parliament and 
 the Protector. After the trial and sentence of the 
 King, he was detailed as commander of cavalry, 
 in conjunction with the foot troops under Colonel 
 Hacker, Colonel Hanks and Lieut. Colonel Phay- 
 or, to attend the execution. * * In the dis- 
 charge of this important and delicate duty the 
 most reliable officers and the best disciplined 
 troops were selected, which placed John Fenwick 
 among the first of these in the army about Lon- 
 don at that tinie."t 
 
 At the time of the restoration John Fenwick 
 had fully adopted the opinions and practices of 
 George Fox and suffered much in person and es- 
 tate therefor. The social and business intimacy 
 existing between John Fenwick and William 
 l'enn is a striking feature in the lives of these two 
 men. Their religious views no doubt brought 
 them much together as well as their various busi- 
 ness relations. Major Fenwick's manner of living 
 was more pretentious and aristocratic than any of 
 his neighbors. His houses at Ivy Point and at his 
 plantation at Fenwick Grove were well appointed 
 proving that he had an eye to comfort as well as 
 to dignity and exclusiveness. The library of 
 hooks at each place he regarded with much
