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

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

 The Proceedings of the Monthly Meeting at King-

 Minutes here-in-after Eecorded At our Monthly 
 Meeting held at Bethlehem the 10th. Day of the 
 7th. Month 1744 This being our first Monthly 
 Meeting of Friends here, friends think it requisite 
 that the copy of the Last Quarterly Meetings Min- 
 utes whereby Liberty was granted that we Sliould

 Quarterly Meeting held at Burlington the 27th. 
 day of the Gth. Month 1744, This Meeting again 
 considering the application of Friends of Bethle- 
 hem Meeting who have again renewed their re- 
 quest, and after deliberate and weighty considera- 
 tion of the matter. Do now consent and agree that 
 as they live very remote from any Monthly Meet- 
 ing which must needs be on Several accounts 
 inconvenient to them. They have Liberty to hold 
 a Monthly ^Meeting among themselves, and it is 
 Agreed that the said meeting be held the Second 
 day in each Month : And the Clerk is desired to 
 give them a copy of this Minute. 
 
 A true Copy pr. Caleb Eaper Clerk. 
 
 No better history of Kingwood Meeting can be 
 written than that which is contained in the Min- 
 utes. The following quotations, in their quaint 
 language, tell the story : 
 
 11 1 1744 I 5. "Jeremiah Williams reports 
 that he carried Seventy shillings which was col- 
 lected at our last Monthly Meeting to the Quar- 
 terly Meeting and paid it to Caleb raper (the 
 Treasurer) towards the Yearly Meetings Stock." 
 
 11 12 1744. 
 
 This meeting taking into con- 
 
 sideration the necessity of Building a new Meet- 
 inghouse in this place have Unanimously agreed 
 to lay the necessity thereof before the next Quar- 
 terly Meeting in order to their Approbation 
 therein." 
 
 11 1 1744 I 5. "Samuel Large & Jeremiah 
 Williams who were appointed to Attend Last

 newed their request for holding a IMeeting of

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

 12 7 1745. Upon the Request of our last

 lifty pounds and have but yet one hundred pounds 
 subscribed towards dischargeing the same ;" 
 
 16 9 1748. At this meeting Friends at the

 the last monthly meeting for settling and fixing a 
 place for building a IMeetingiiouse at the Great 
 Meadows return it as their opinion and judgment 
 that the Meetinghouse shall be built at the same 
 place where the graveyard is made there it being 
 the same place as they agreed upon and subscribed 
 to themselves befoie this committee was chosen 
 which .this Meeting agrees to. Fiiends of the

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

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

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

 Meeting and they shall make report of their pro- 
 ceedings therein to the Monthly Meeting here 
 successively if required by this montlily meeting. 
 
 Idem. It will be most convenient for us be- 
 cause we live remote from each other that the

 succeeding the monthly meeting before evei\v 
 Quarterly meeting. 
 
 10 6 175(5. It is concluded by this Meeting

 is desired to enter the same at large in the Month- 
 ly Meetings books of Minutes which is as foUov,- 
 eth vizst. At a Q. M. held at Burlington the 
 28th of the 2d month 1757 as to that part of the 
 report from the Bethlehem requesting the advice 
 of this meeting touching those that pay fines to 
 screen themselves from distress when it is likely 
 to come among them through their neglecting 
 military service after weighty consideration it is 
 the judgment of this meeting that such ought to 
 be tenderly but earnestly laboured with to convince 
 their judgments of tlie manifest breach of our 
 ancient Christian testimony such a conduct must 
 always make as well as the inconsistency of 
 it with our profession and after a suitable labour 
 and Christian forbearance it appears there is no 
 hope of such being i-eclaimed judgment is to be 
 placed upon them in the manner prescribed by 
 the discipline." 
 
 12 5 1757. The clerk is desired to enter the 
 extract of the Q. M's minute concerning settling 
 a youths meeting at Kingwood which is as fol- 
 loweth vizt. 
 
 At a Q. M. held at Burlington on the 2sth. day

 sideration that part of the report from Kingwood 
 respecting the appointment of a youths meeting 
 do order that a youths meeting be held there the 
 5th day immediately following the (}. M. in the 
 
 5th. month every year. The proposal concerning 
 a youths meeting at Hardwick is left for further 
 consideration.

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

 house in order to inform of our agreement con- 
 cerning the plan of the said house which is as fol- 
 loweth vizt. 40 feet long and 25 feet wide in the

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

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

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

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

 KiNGWooD Monthly Meeting's Testimony 
 
 CONCERNING SAMUEL LARGE SENIOR. 
 
 This our said Antient Friend Samuel Large De- 
 pjirted this Life at his House in Kingwood, The 
 9th. Day of the 6th Montli 1705, and was decently 
 Inter'd in Friends Baring place there. 
 
 He was Religiously Enclined when young in 
 years (as he related at times) By being Early Vis- 
 ited, insomuch, hethought he could freely Declare 
 to others of the Goodness & merciful kind dealings 
 of God to his Soul. But for want of Giving dili- 
 gent heed to the inshineings of that inward Light 
 which had Measureably Redeemed him, he came 
 to a loss of the Sweet and Heavenly Communion 
 which he had been made a Sharer of, and l>egan to 
 join with Folly and Vanities which youth is apt 
 to, but in Process of time being re-Visited by an 
 All Merciful God, Gave up to bear the Cross, and 
 about the Tliirtieth Year of his Age, he was made 
 willing to give up to bear a publick Testimony, & 
 to Declare to others what God had done for his 
 Soul, Avhich Testimony was Living and Powerful, 
 ct Tending to the refreshing and Watering of the 
 Lords Heritage and People, being often concer'd, 
 where his Lot was cast, to invite and persuade 
 people to seek the Lord for tliemselves that 
 So they might know the work of Regeneration 
 wrought and Completed in and for themselves, he 
 freely gave up to Spend both his time and sub- 
 stance on Truths account, when call'd thereto. 
 He visited Several Provinces on this Continent, 
 and Some divers times in his Younger years he 
 was diligent in attending Meetings both for Wor- 
 ship and Discipline, and Quarterly and yearly 
 meetings when in Health and ability of Body, he 
 was a Generous kind open hearted Friend ready 
 to do good to all, but especially to the Household 
 of Faith, very ready in a.ssisting the Servants and 
 Messengers of Christ, when Tiaveling on that ac- 
 count. He brought up his Children in Plainess 
 of Speech and Aparel, a great Encourager of his 
 Family and otheis, in attending Meetings, that 
 they might discharge their Duties which they (3we 
 unto their maker. In the Later part of his days, 
 when old, he met with Exercises & great Difficul- 
 ties, Yet (tho in his declining age, and Natural 
 Capacities weak ) We have good reason to believe, 
 as to an inward State of Mind, he Lived past & 
 through them all, and that lie Died in Peace with 
 the Lord and in good will to all mankind And is 
 Entered into Rest and Reaps the Reward of the 
 Faithful, where Troubles and Exercises are at 
 an End. 
 
 A Memorial op the Time, of Death and 
 Burial of our Friend Anne Webster 
 Daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Web-

 Kingwood Monthly Meeting's Testimony 
 Concerning Jeremiah Williams. 
 Our antient friend and Elder Jeremiah Wil- 
 liams came to rezide amongst us Recommended 
 from a Monthly Meeting of friends on Long Island 
 as an Honest Sober and orderly member of our 
 Religious Society in Unity and many years he Avas 
 a servisable member and a Diligent and Constant 
 attender of our meetings for Worship and Discip- 
 line, until he Suffer'd his mind to be too much 
 Cast Down imder the Thoughts of Some Disap- 
 pointments and Troubles he meet with. He did 
 not attend our Meetings So Constant as he had 
 heretofore Done but we have Good reason to 
 believe Some time before his Death he Witnessed 
 in a great measure an overcoming his former 
 Troubles and Exercises. He was a generous and 
 kind open Harted man in Entertaining Friends 
 and such as Travel abroad in the Service of Truth. 
 Some time before his Death he was attended with 
 many bodily afflictions, being helpless above too 
 years, which he bore with Great patience. Some- 
 times he would say conld I think I am like Job, 
 he l)eing atend with many ails ; often desiring to 
 be Deliver'd if it Avas the Lord's Will. He De- 
 parted thisXife at the House of his Son Benjamin 
 in Penna. with whom he had Liv'd for some 
 years, on the 15th. day of the 5th month 1766 
 aged 83 years wanting about one month and was 
 Decently buried in friends beurying Ground at 
 Kingwood. 
 
 Kingwood Monthly Meeting's Testimony 
 Concerning Mary Simcock. 
 
 This our antient Friend deceased Daring the 
 time she resided amongst us, which was upwards 
 of Thirty Years was a diligent attender of Meet- 
 ings both on First and other Days of the week, in 
 which she was a goo^l Example in patient waiting 
 on the Lord, to feel the Renewings of His divine 
 power. She had also a gift in the Ministery and 
 tlio not large in Testimony, yet faithf^^liy Laliour- 
 ing in the Ability received was edefying to those 
 whose Harts were prepared of the Lord to receive 
 His messengers tho small in appearance She was a 
 peaceable kind Neighbor, and well esteemed by 
 all and altho through Age and Infirmity of body 
 she was render'd incapable of attending Meetings 
 for some years before she died, yet she retained 
 her Love to truth and Friends, and we Doubt not 
 has made a happy Change, and now Enjoying the 
 Reward of her Labours in the Mansions of Eter- 
 nal Rest. The following is a brief memoral con- 
 
23 
 
 cerning her, written by lier Husband John Simcock, 
 which we haveing Unity with, Subjoin. She was 
 daughter of Nicholas and Jane Wain of the North- 
 ern Liberties of tlie City of Phila. honest Friends 
 to whom she was obedient in her youth, and as 
 she grew in years she was Concern 'd to be a sensi- 
 ble witness of the operation of truth in her own 
 Heart, and keeping Carefully under this concern, 
 she was niaiiy times sweetly Comforted in spirit, 
 which Favour she prized above the Enjoyment of 
 earthly Treasure. She was likewise concerned 
 for the good of her fellow Mortals and after some 
 Keasonings in her own mind gave up to declare in 
 a publick manner what the Lord had done for 
 her Soul. Her testimony was well receiv'd after 
 which she frequently appeared in Publick as long 
 as she was of ability to attend Meetings, and when 
 her natural strength and faculties were much im- 
 pair'd it was evident that she still retain'd that 
 good part which had Ijeen her Earl}' choice, for 
 when several Friends of Kingwood Meeting came 
 to visit us a few Months before her Departure, in 
 time of our silent Avaiting she sat still and quiet 
 and after some Time sitting, appear'd in publick 
 Testimony in a solid sensiable manner, and in 
 supplication also, which plainly demonstrated, 
 that the Lord still favoured with his living pres- 
 ence, giving Strength and ability to her who had 
 really no strength of her own. She was a loving 
 faithfull wife, and a true Helpmeet in things that 
 pretain to the Interest of our Immortal Nature an 
 affectionate and Exemplary Mother, patient in 
 affliction of Body of Mind, and Departed quietly 
 without any apparent Illness 19th of the 5th. 
 month 1771 in the 85th year of her Age, as Min- 
 ister upwards of 50 years, and I have no Doubt 
 but that she is now in the Enjoyment of endless 
 Felicety, haveing received the Crown which the 
 Lord a Righteous Judge shall give to all those 
 who love his appearance and walk uprightly as 
 she did. John Simcock 2G-9-1771. 
 
 Kingwood Monthly Meeting's Testimony 
 Concerning our vVntient Friend and El- 
 der Richard Lundy. ^ 
 
 He was the son of Richard and Jane Lundy of 
 Bucks County in Pena. Professor of the truth 
 with us born the 20th of the 3d month 1692. A 
 man much Esteemed amongst Friends and others

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

 the same : attended by a large number of friends

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

 Our much Esteemed Friend and Elder Robert

 month 1774, in the 58th year of his age, w;is fro;n 
 his youth a man of a peaceable and Quiet spirit, 
 one who sincerely loved the truth and its faithful 
 followers, and being Concerned for many years to 
 live near unto, and witness the influence of the 
 Blessed principle which we profess, he btcame a 
 Diligent attender of our religious Meetings both 
 for worship and Discipline wherein he was a 
 patient humble waiter for the ariseing of Divine 
 Life wherelty he witnessed his Strength to be re- 
 newed, and often Expressed his satisfaction in so 
 attending. He was thus Enabled to Lead an 
 honest Circumspect Life, being a good E.Kamjile 
 among us, in maintaining our Christian Testi- 
 mony in its primitive simplicity, and altho he had 
 not a publick Testimony to bear, yet we Esteemed 
 him a preacher of Righteousness in his Life and 
 Conversation. He was a tender Husband an 
 Affectionate Father a Kind Neighbour and very 
 Charitable to the poor. Wherefore in great Love 
 to him, and Esteem for his memory we have

 Memorial of thic Monthly Meeting of King- 
 wood Concerning Mary Hoknor Deceased. 
 
 She was born at Mansfield in the County of 
 Burlington, West New Jersey, in the Year 1736, 
 of Parents in membeiship with Friends ; her 
 Father, Thomas Potts, dying when she was a 
 child, she was educated by her Mother, Sarah 
 Potts, in the Profession of the truth as htld l)y 
 us : and early discovered a quickness of Appre- 
 hension and Strength of Understanding beyond 
 many others, her tender Mind while in her Mi- 
 nority, was sensibly reached with a divine Visi- 
 tation of the Love of God ; and as she grew to 
 riper years, she was preserved in a good Decree of 
 circumspect Walking in his Fear, her Conversa- 
 tion being Serious, sensible and guarded ; and 
 often times her grave Deportment was useful as a 
 Check to her Companions. In the year 1757 she 
 was marryed to Isaac Horner, and tilled the Sta- 
 tion of a faithfull and prudent Wife and Mother. 
 In the beginning of the year 17G8 She appeared in 
 puVjlick as a Minister, her Testimony, being Short 
 and Lively, was generally well received. In the 
 year 1770 She removed with her husband & Fam- 
 
 ily to settle within the Compass of this Meeting, 
 and has since resided amongst us, to the time of 
 her Deceixse. Through the Influence of the Love 
 of God, shed abroad in her heart, by a life of un- 
 affected Piety and a godly Circomspection of Con- 
 duct and Conversation, she hath obtained a good 
 Report, not only amongst us with whom she was 
 joined in religious Communion, but also amongst 
 People of all ranks and religious Persuasions ; 
 being remarkable for her unreserved. Charitable 
 Openness and innocent Freedom of Deportment 
 towards all. In 1772 she had the Concurrence of 
 This Meeting in a Visit to some of the Meetings 
 in the Lower part of this Province ; and the suc- 
 ceeding Winter in visiting all the Families within 
 the Verge of this Monthly Meeting in Company 
 with sundry other Friends ; since which she has 
 visited all the Meetings and most, if not all the 
 Private Families belonging to the yearly ^Meeting 
 of Flushing ; in which she had good Service and 
 was generally well received, as Testifyed in a 
 Number of Certilicates Produced at her Return 
 She afterwards, in Company with Samuel East- 
 burn and others, visited a number of the Families 
 belonging to the Monthly meeting of Bucking- 
 ham. In 1775 she obtained a Minut of the Con- 
 cerrence of this Meeting, to visit the ]\Ieetings of 
 Friends along the Sea Shore, and in the lower Part 
 of this Province in which Service she caught a 
 sevear Cold, which brought on a pretty swift De- 
 cay ; under wliich She languised up wards of Eight 
 months, near half of which Time she nevertheless, 
 attended Meetings During her Indisposition, her 
 quiet Composure of Spirit, and cheerfull Resigna- 
 tion to the will of her heavenly Master was truly 
 edifying. She told a Friend who visited her not 
 long before her Departure that tho Death ap- 
 peared a dark Passiige, yet all was Light beyond 
 it. And to another, who bid her farewell at part- 
 ing, she said, I shall fare well when I am red of 
 this Body. And She was remarkably clear in her 
 underetandiiig and said, tho bodily weakness 
 prevailed, yet her Spirit felt no Dimunitiou of 
 Strength ; and Exhorted those about her to place 
 their Reliance on the Lord alone, a Confidence 
 Siiid she, in which I have never been disappointed. 
 The Evening before She was visibly struck with 
 Death, broke fourth into Expressions of Praise to 
 the Allmighty's and liumble acknowledgements 
 that he had to her, performed all his I'romise.s 
 and more ; had prepared and sanctifyed her and 
 brought her to that hour ; and that She should 
 praise him as long as she continued in the Body, 
 and at the Conclusion chearfuUy surrender Hus- 
 band and Children and all that he had given her, 
 again into his Hands. In or near her last Hour 
 she beckenoned her Hirsband to come and take his 
 
25 
 
 last Farewell of her, and then, in a Composed 
 Whisper, said thou art a welcome Messenger — 
 thou art a wellcome, take me quickly. She dyed 
 on the 31st. Day of the 5th. month 1776 in the 
 40th year of her Age, and was buryed in Friends 
 Burying Ground, having been upwards of Eight 
 years a Minister. Signed in and on behalf of sd.

 FRIENDS SUFFERINGS. 
 
 The following list of fines collected during the 
 Revolution seems to show that the collectors were 
 not specially moved with human kindness. There 
 was little equality between the amount of the fine 
 and the amount collected. If these records are 
 correct the victim of the collector was not always 
 the person who was fined.

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

 In connection with this paper the following 
 extract from a letter written to the compiler Oct. 
 5th. 1895 may be of interest; "Mingo Whano was 
 before his capture an African Chieftain or King. 
 He was reputed a very honest and worthy person. 
 It is greatly to be regretted that such things were 
 possible in those dark days. He belonged for 
 some time to my father. ' '

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

 The following certificates are found in a book 
 kept by the Kingwood Meeting. A sample is 
 given of the wording ; this wording, with more 
 or less variation by the different clerks, is used 
 throughout the book. It has not been deemed 
 necessary to repeat the names of the clerks. Some- 
 times there was only one who signed, but gener- 
 ally two, one from the men's meeting and the 
 other from the women's. Those who acted as 
 clerks at different times were Daniel Lundy, 
 Henry Clift'ton, Amy Cliffton, Abigail Willson,
