New Brunswick, N. J. J. Heidi NGSFELD, Printer, 42 Albany Si 1902. Copyright, 1902, by William Clinton Armstrong All Rights Reserved TO Esther Ann Armstrong This Book Is Affectionately Dedicated By Her Son THE LUNDY FAMILY. The Lundy lineage, so far as known, begins with three names, which represent three successive generations — father, son, and grandson. First. The father was Sylvester Lundy of Axminster, County of Devon, England ; our only known ancestor in the Lundy Hne who lived and died in the Old World. Second. The son was Richard Lundy the First, born in England, a resident of Axminster, an emigrator to the New World in 1676, a settler in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and the Founder of the Lundy Family in America. He was an Elder in the Religious Society of Friends. Third. The grandson was Richard Lundy the Second, the first American-born Lundy. He was born in the County of Bucks, Pennsylvania, in 1692 ; and died in the County of Warren, New Jersey, in 1772. He was an Elder in the Relig- ious Society of Friends, and was active at the organization of three new Meetings, or Churches, in the wilderness — the Buck- ingham, the Plumstead, and the Hardwick. From this Rich- ard the Second have sprung numerous Lundy households, which are now widely scattered throughout the United States and Canada. We will now speak more fully concerning each of these three men. Sylvester Lundy. Very brief, indeed, is the account that has come down to us concerning this man who leads the list of our Lundy fore- fathers. We know his name and the town he lived in and that he begot a son Richard. These items, so meager and barely sufficient for the inscription on a tombstone, comprise the whole record; there is nothing else known about him. No definite answer can be given to the many queries which naturally arise concerning his rank, occupation and religious belief, his wife, and his other children, if others there were, and his parentage and remote ancestry. SYL\ESTER LUNDY. But our autliority for what little we do know is excellent ; and a great satisfaction it is to have the history of the Lundy Family open, not with some vague tantalizing tradition, but with matter of early historical record. Our authority is an official entry which was made about 1685 i" a book kept by a public officer in pursuance of a colonial law. The entry begins thus : "Richard Lundy. of Axminster, in the County of Devon, son of Sylvester Lundy, of the said town in old England . . ." These words, as it will appear when we describe more fully the document from which they are quoted, were undoubtedly taken down by the Register of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, from the lips of Richard himself. We have now told all that is known about Sylvester Lundy and have given our authority ; and yet although we have a long genealogical story to tell, we cannot pass on at once, but feel that we must pause and muse in reverent spirit as by the side of an ancient grave newly-found wherein rests one of whom we would fain learn more. Here, too. seems to be the appropriate place in our narrative to introduce a short account of Axminster, "the said town in old England." the trans-atlantic home of our ancestor Svlvester Lundy. What and where is Axminster, and why was it so named? Devon is one of the southern counties of England, and Axmin- ster is one of the southern towns of Devon. It is a small market-town with less than three thousand inhabitants, on the river Axe, three miles from the English Channel. It is much too small to be on the map in a common geography ; on a map of larger scale, it will be found on the southern coast-line of Eng- land a little west of the Isle of Wight. How came the place to have that name? The word minster has the same origin as the word monastery, and means a church, a place of worship, and hence Axminster means the church on the river Axe. More than a thousand years ago King Aethelstan of England defeated the heathen Danes, who had invaded his realm, in a great battle on the banks of the river Axe ; and in his gratitude he erected a church on the field of his victory and called it Axminster. Gradually a village grew up around the church, and the name Axminster was then used to designate the town as well as the sacred edifice. Some persons who were carpet-weavers by trade settled there and made the place famous by the excellency RICHAEID LUNDY I. 7 and peculiar style of their handiwork; and although this par- ticular form of industry long ago lost its characteristic import- ance at that village, yet the word Axminster as designating a certain make of carpet is still used everywhere in the commer- cial world. Richard Lundy the First. Richard Lundy I., the only known child of Sylvester, was the Founder of the Lundy Family in America. Richard left his native land for the New World during Sixth month, 1676, a date easily remembered, being exactly one hundred years before the Declaration of Independence. Sixth month was August, for in those times March was counted the first month of the year. He sailed from Bristol, an important sea port on the western coast of England, and landed at Boston in the province of Massachusetts. He remained in New England among the Puritans nearly six years; but not a single item of information concerning his place of residence or his experience during that interval has come down to us. From history, we know that it was an uneventful period for the people of Nf v England, a period of rest after their terrific conflict against the confederated Indians under King Philip. Richard's sojourn among the Puritans ended in 1682; on the 19th of 3rd month (May) in that year, he embarked and sailed for the Delaware river. What motives he had for leaving New England, we do not know ; but we do know that Pennsylvania was just at that time being energetically boomed as an ideal home for settlers. William Penn, the grandest figure in American colonial his- tory, was so good that we sometimes forget how wise and shrewd he was. Penn got his charter from Charles II. in March, 1781, and immediately published a circular describing his new country in glowing terms ; he then began to issue a series of public letters, which kept his colony before the eyes of the world ; and finally the great Proprietor himself set sail and reached Pennsylvania during the last week in October, 1682, and founded the city of Philadelphia. The total population of Pennsylvania at that time was estimated at six thousand; and immigrants continued to arrive at the rate of one thousand a year. Richard Lundy came to Pennsylvania in 1682; two years later he secured some real estate and took to himself a wife. In the Minutes of the Board of Property of the Province of 8 klCllAlUJ LUNDY i. Pennsylvania, under date of 15 of 12 month, 1702, the following entry is found : "The Prop'ry, by a Patent, dated 6, 5 month, 1684, Granted to Rich'd Lundy 200 Acres of Land Situate in the County of Bucks at a penny pr. Acre, laid out 10, 6 month, 1682-3. R'd Lundy by Ind'r dated 8, 7 month, 1683, Granted the Said Land to Jacob Telnor." See Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, vol. xix., page 359. He came to the Delaware river in 1682 ; and, so far as the records show, he seems to have made his tirst purchase of land in 1684; hence it is surprising to find the name of Richard Lundy on a map of that river dated 1681. It is suggested that the map may have been at first an outline sketch, and that the names of new-comers who took up land may have been inserted afterward. Mr. W. J. Buck in his history of Bucks county names Richard Lundy among the original owners of land in Bristol township. ihere was at that time living in Falls township a widow, Rebecca Bennet, with her four unmarried daughters, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Sarah, and Ann. William Bennet, the father, then recently deceased, had left by will to each of his girls £30 in money and 200 acres of land. Richard Lundy L and Elizabeth liennet were married by Friends' ceremony on 20 of 8 month, 1684. On 22 of 2 month, 1685, Elizabeth attended the wedding of Joseph English and Joan Comly and signed their marriage certificate as one of the witnesses. Richard L owns a farm now and has a wife; of course, he ought to keep a cow or two. And he did ; even that is a matter of record, for he is described as an "owner of cattle." Very little land was fenced in ; it all lay out to the common. The early settlers allowed their live stock to roam at large through the woods and browse on the natural grass. Sometimes the cattle would stray far away and be gone a long time ; and in some cases it would be difficult for the owner to recognize his cattle and prove his right of property thereto to the satisfaction of neighbors or strangers ; and therefore each settler, before he turned his cows and calves loose for the summer, marked each of them plainly. He cut their ears in a certain way, or else he took a red-hot iron and blistered them on the shoulder leaving a permanent scar in the shape of a letter, criss-cross or other character. Marks thus made were easily seen and recognized, and could be described with accuracy. Only one thing was yet RlCHARlD LUNDV I. necessary for the successful working of this system of identi- fication ; and that was that no two owners should use the same mark. To this end, a registrar was appointed for the whole county, whose duty it was to keep in a book a list of all cattle owners with the marks used by each.. Indeed, the law of the province expressly declared that all cattle whatsoever of a year old and upwards should be accompted strayes which were not marked on the ear or otherwise with a brand mark. The book of registered cattle-marks for Bucks county was kept by Phineas Pemberton at Penn's Manor, and bears the date 1684; this realistic relic of pioneer hfe is still in existence, and may be seen at the library of the Pennsylvania Historical Society in Philadelphia. It is twelve inches long by four wide, contains about forty pages and is margined with a thumb index. The title on the outside of the parchment cover is "A Record of the Eare and Brand Marks for Bucks in Pennsylvania/' The book contains one hundred five sets of ear-marks arranged six on a page ; and among them is the cattle-mark of Richard the First, which is here reproduced. The outline sketch or drawing represents the forehead and ears of a cow as she would stand facing her owner. The left ear half way down on the lower edge has a slit cut in ; the right ear has a slit downward at the point, and is also cropped with a half- penny undercut. Neither ear-tip is cropped. The original drawings are not with- out a touch of the picturesque ; all the natural outline is in black, but all slits and the margins of all crops are penciled in red as though fresh-cut. A law requiring the enrollment of all emigrants was enacted at New Castle, on the loth day of the 3rd month, 1684, by the Governor and the Provincial Council and Assembly; and the EAR-MARK FOR CATTLE, REGISTERED IN 1684 BY RICHARD LUNDY I. OF BUCKS CO., PA. lO RICHARD [.UNDY I. saiil law is lu-rcw iili (|U()tc(l in full as printed on page 170 in a volume entitled "'['\k- Iharter of William Penn and Laws of the Province of 1 Vnnsylvania passed between the years 1682- 1700." "Chap. CLXlll. That there be a Registry kept of all free- man, as well as servants, that already are, or from time to time shall come, into this Province and territories not already regis- tered ; to which end all persons inhabiting therein are hereby required at or before the first day of the fifth month next ensu- ing, and afterwards all that shall henceforward come to inhabit iii an\ Counts within this Government within three months after arrival to deliver in the names of his or her family, male and female, old and )oung, unto the Register of the respective Counties where hee, shee or they inhabit.

And if any person refuse or neglect to bring in the names of his or her or their families to be registered as aforesaid, within the time aforelimited, he shall for the said ofifence forfeit five shillings a head." Let us now turn to the register-book that was opened and kept in fkicks county as directed by the foregoing law^ Four of the entries found in it have a bearing on the history of the Lundy family and are given herewith. "James Harrison of Bolton in the County of Lancaster, aged about 57 years. Shoemaker, and Ann his wife, aged about 61 years, Sailed from Liverpool, for this province in the ship the "Submission" of Liverpool, the M"r., James Settle, the 5th of the 7th Mo., 1682, and arrived at Choptank in Maryland the 2 1st 9th Mo. following, being brought thither through the dis- honesty of the master, and arrived at Apoquinemene in this province the 15th of the nth Mo. following"; and then the record enumerates five persons who accompanied James and Ann Harrison, namely: Agnes Harrison, aged 81 years, mother of James ; Phebe, daughter of James Harrison and wife of Phineas Peml)erton ; Robert Bond, Alice Dickerson, and jane Lvon. James Harrison was a minister in the Religious Society of h'riends : he was the Stewart of William Penn and had charsjv of reiin's mansion and manor in Bucks county. RICHARD LUNDY I. II "William Bennet of Hammondsworth [Harmondsworth, near Longford] in the County of Middlesex, yeoman, and Rebecca his wife, arrived in this river yth Mo., 1683, in the ship the ''Jeffrey"' of London. The Mr. Thomas Arnold." "Richard Lundy, of Axminster in the County of Devon, son of Sylvester Lundy of the said town in old England, came in a Catch from Bristol (the Mr. William Browne) for Boston in New England, in the 6th Mo., 1676, and from thence came for this river [Delaware] the 19th of the 3d Mo., 1682." "Elizabeth Bennet, daughter of William Bennet late of the County of Bucks, and now wife to the aforesaid Richard Lundy, came from Longford in the County of Middlesex, in the ship the "Concord" of London. The Mr. William Jeffrey, Arrived in this river the 8th Mo., 1683." And then a few lines further down in the original record, a private memorandum by the Register of Bucks county is found, which reads: "I have given C. Taylor an acct. thus far, ist 3d Mo., 1686." Hence we conclude that the original entries just quoted concerning Richard Lundy and Elizabeth Bennet his wife, must have been made subsequently to the date of their marriage, 20 of 8 month, 1684, and prior to i of 3 month, 1686, the day on which the Register of Bucks county certified that he had furnished an official transcript to Christopher Taylor, the Register-General of the Province. Whether or not the original register-book for Bucks county is yet in existence, is not known ; but the Historical Society of Pennsylvania has in its possession a certified copy of the original. In 1885, the whole record was published in the Poiiisylrania Magciciiic of History and Biog- raphy, under the heading "A Partial List of the Families who Resided in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Prior to 1687, with the Date of their Arrival"; see Vol. IX., pp. 223-234. If there be no confusion concerning the names of ships and masters, William Bennet and his daughter Elizabeth came from England about the same time but in different vessels ; but it is possiljle that the names of ship and master were incorrectly reported from memory. The ship "Submission" had been two months and sixteen days in crossing the ocean; two months' time was in those days deemed a prosperous voyage; and the two weeks extra in this case were caused by unfavorable weather, which was the captain's excuse for landing his pas- sengers in :Maryland. It may be remarked that the age of 12 RICHARD LUNDY I. Richard Lundy is unfortunately omitted from the Register- book, and that Richard had not enrolled himself within the time- limit set by the statute, and hence had rendered himself techni- .cally liable to the forfeiture of five shillings for neglect. Elizabeth (Bennet) Lundy, wife of Richard Lundy L, was buried on 14 of 6 month, 1687, less than three years after her marriage. A record of births and deaths among Friends was kept from 1682 to 1711; only one Lundy burial is entered therein, that of Elizabeth herself; and no Lundy birth is recorded prior to 1692. The absence of a record of the birth of any Lundy child would seem to indicate that Elizabeth left no issue ; but, on the other hand, John Lundy of Bucks county, concerning whom we will speak fully a few pages further on, may have been her son. In 1688, William Penn confirmed to Richard Lundy a tract of land containing one thousand acres situate in Buckingham township, Bucks county, Pa. It was a fine piece of property fronting a mile on the old York Road, well-watered, embracing primeval forest and a lovely valley of unsurpassed fertility. An early survey of certain portions of Buckingham township is still extant and bears date 1703; a map of it, published by Gen. W. H. H. Davis in his History of Bucks County, shows a rectangular block of land inscribed as follows : "Rich'd Lundy 1025 A Laid out for 1000 A" Adjoining tracts were owned by Edmund Kinsey and Thomas Bye on the east, by Jno. Reynolds on the south, and by John Smith on the west. The middle point of a straight north-and- south line joining Easton and Philadelphia marks approxi- mately the position of the Lundy plantation in Bucks county. The village of Buckingham is seven miles from the Delaware river, and is about twenty-five miles south of Easton and the same distance north of Philadelphia. When and how was this tract disposed of? Only a partial answer can be given. Thomas Canby is said to have bought a part of a Lundy tract near Centreville in 1693 ; and James Lenox is said to have pur- chased, some years after this, 4CXD acres of land from Richard Lundy. The Lundy tract was near the recently-established post-office named Holicong, and is now owned by th6 Paxsons, Elys and others. Richard Lundy owned land in Bristol-bor- JANE LYON, 13 ough, Bucks county, in 1706; and Watson's map showing owners of land in 1726 places the name of Richard Lundy on a tract along the Delaware river near the Penn Manor. In the fourth year after the death of his first wife, Richard Lundy I. married again. His second wife was Jane Lyon, the Quaker maiden previously mentioned as having come to America with the family of James Harrison. They were mar- ried at the Falls Monthly Meeting in Bucks county, Pa., on 24 of 4 mo. (June), 1691 ; and to them there was born in Bucks county on 20th day of 3rd month, 1692, a son Richard, desig- nated in this genealogy as Richard Lundy H., who married Elizabeth Large, settled finally in Warren county, N. J., and there died on 28th of 2nd month, 1772. We now quote from the minutes of the Buckingham Monthly Meeting two sen- tences relating to the marriage of Richard Lundy L and Jane Lyon. The minutes of a Meeting held in Falls township on the 1st day of the 2nd month, 1691, state that "Richard Lundy and Jane Lyon proposed their intentions of taking each other in marriage; it being the first time, the meeting appoints John Cook and Joseph Kirkbride to inquire concerning his clearness and give an account to the next meeting"; and the minutes of a meeting held at the house of Henry Baker on the 6th day of 3rd month, 1 691, state that "Joseph Kirkbride relates that he hath made inquiry concerning Richard Lundy and finds nothing but that he may proceed with Jane Lyon ; Richard Lundy and Jane Lyon proposed their intentions of taking each other in marriage ; it being the second time and nothing appearing but that both parties are clear, the meeting leaves them to their liberty to accomplish the same." We insert here a literal copy of the marriage certificate of Richard Lundy L and Jane Lyon : Richard Lundy of ye County of Bucks & province of Penn- silvania, husbandman, and Jane Lyon of ye Aforesaid County & province, spinster, having intentions of taking each other in mariage, did publish their said intentions according to law as also did declare them before severall publique meetings of ye people of god called Quakers whose proceedings therein, after deliberat consideration and consent of partys concerned, were Aproved by ye meetings ; Therefore these may certifie all whom it may concerne that on ye 24th day of ye flFourth mo., 1691, they ye said Richard Lundy and Jane Lyon Apeared in a pub- 14 RICHARD LUXDY I. liqiie & sollcni assembly of ye said people mett together for ye end and purpose at ye publique meeting-house of ye aforesaid people, near the ffals of Dellawarc in ye county aforesaid, according to ye example of ye holly men of god recorded in ye Scriptures of truth. He ye said Rich : Lundy. taking ye said Jane Lyon by ye hand, did openly declare as followeth. — ffriends, in ye presence of ye Lord & before you his people, I take this my fifriend Jane Lyon to be my wife, promising to be to her a faithful and loveing husband till death seperat us. And then and there in ye said assembly, she ye said Jane Lyon did in like manner declare as followeth, — fifriends, in ye fear of ye Lord & I'efore you his people, I take this my ffriend Rich : Lundy to be my husband, promising to be to him, through ye assistance of ye Lord, a faithfuU & loveing wife till it shall please god by death to seperat us. And ye said Rich : Lundy and Jane his now wife, as a further confimiation thereof, did then & there to these presents sett their hand Richard Lundy Jane Lundy And we whose names are here unto subscribed were wit- nesses to the said solemnization and subscription.

In looking' over the list of witnesses present at the wedding, it may be noted that not one among them, so far as is known, was of kin by blood to either the bride or the groom. Rebecca Williams, formerly Mrs. William Bennet, was the mother, and Ann and Sarah Bennet were the sisters, of Richard's first wife. Jane Lyon was born in England in April, 1666; she was sixteen years old when she came to America, and twenty-five years old when she married Richard. The ship "Submission" which she came in set sail on 5 of 7 month, 1682, and arrived in Chespeake bay, Maryland, on 21 of 9 month, 1682. A comparison of dates shows that the ship "Welcome" bear- ing WilHam Penn on his first visit to America, was crossing the Atlantic ocean during this very time. Some of the passengers on disembarking from the "Submission" remained in the Chop- tank, Maryland ; but others, including those with whom Jane had come, soon removed to Bucks county. Pa. So it appears that Richard and Jane, not knowing of each other's existence, reached the land of William Penn within a year of each other, he by way of Delaware bay from New Eng- land, and she by way of Chespeake bay from Old England. "The Harrison and Pemberton families," says Watson in his Annals of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania in the Olden Time, Vol. L, page 47, "came over together among 50 passengers in the ship" Submission," Capt. James Settle, from Liverpool. The terms of passage were £4 5s. for all persons over twelve years of age, for all children £2 2s. 6d., and for all goods, £30 per ton. Their contract was 'to proceed to Delaware river or elsewhere in Pennsylvania to the best conveniency of freighters.' It may serve to know the execution of such voyages to learn that by distress of weather they were landed in the 'Potuxen River in Maryland' whence they came to Philadelphia and pro- ceded thence to Pennsbury neighborhood [Falls township, Bucks county], where they settled and occupied places of dis- tinguished trust. When James Harrison and his son-in-law, Phineas Pemberton, first entered Philadelphia on horseback, from Choptank in Maryland, the latter records that at that time 1 6 RICHARD LUXnV T. (Nov.. 1682), tlicy oonld not procure entertainment there for their horses; "they therefore spancelled them [by leathern hopples, I presume] and turned them out in the woods ! They soug;-ht them next morning in vain, and after two days' search [think what a wide range they must have enjoyed] they were obliged to take a boat to proceed up the river to Bucks county. One of those horses was not found till the succeeding January !" Although the records indicate that Richard Lundy I. was at an early day the owner of real estate situate in the township of Buckingham, the numerous references to Richard, found on the minutes of the Falls Monthly Meeting between 1693 and 1701, prove that he and his wife resided during that period in Falls township. The last occurrence that I observed of the name of Richard Lundy I. on the minutes of the Falls Monthly Meeting was in 1 70 1. The record for the 4th month of that year says : "Agreed that Joseph Kirkbride and Edmund Lovet and Richard Lundy endeavor to find a spring near the meeting house and, if they find one, get it opened and cleaned" ; and two months later, it is stated that "the friends who were appointed to seek for a spring do say that they have searched, and cannot find one above the ground that is convenient to the meeting house." Jane Lyon had come to the New World unaccompanied by her parents, and she was therefore entitled, according to the homestead law of the colony, to fifty acres of land. At last, Richard L applied to the Board of Property of the Province of Pennsylvania for the head-land of his wife, Jane Lyon. In the Pennsylvania Archives, second series, vol. xix., page 643, under date of 18 of i month, 1717-18, we find that Richard Lundy, of the County of Bucks, had made it appear by the evi- dence of Joseph Mather that Richard's present wife (then Jane Lyon) came into this province with the families of Phineas Pemberton and James Harrison, and that Jane was entitled to head-land which had never yet been laid out ; and therefore Richard now desired it might be granted, which was complied with; and a warrant was signed, dated 10, 9ber, 1718. Richard Lundy L was living in 1734; on the 8 day of 8th month in that year, his granddaughter, Mary Lundy, was mar- ried to Robert Willson at Plumstead, and among the witnesses were Richard Limdy (the bride's father), Richard Lundy (the JANE LYON. 17 bride's brother, aged nineteen), and Richard Lundy, senior (the bride's grandfather, who had been in America fifty-eight years). "Richard Lundy, Senior," presented to the Exeter Monthly Meeting in Berks County, Pa., on 24 of 9 month, 1737, a cer- tificate of membership from the Buckingham Monthly Meeting; this is probably Richard Lundy L ; and it is the last time that he is mentioned on the minutes. The said certificate contains no reference to his wife Jane ; hence it may be inferred that she had died previous to that date. Richard Lundy L probably died at Maiden creek, Berks county. Pa., about 1738; his name is not found among the witnesses to the marriage certificate of his grandson in 1739. Many years thereafter, a testimonial concerning their son, which was publicly approved by the Kingwood Monthly Meet- ing and signed by order of said Meeting at Hardwick the 13th of 8th month, 1772, mentions Richard and Jane Lundy as "Pro- fessors of the Truth with us," a statement which shows that Richard and Jane continued to walk in the plain and peaceful ways of the Society of Friends and died in that religious faith. The life of Richard Lundy, the b^ounder, has now been pre- sented as fully as it is possible to do from the scattered and detached references to him which have been discovered ; but we must return to the question of how many children he had. There was a certain John Lundy of Bucks county, Pa., and there was also a Margaret Lundy of the same place, possibly John's wife. Was this John Lundy a son of Richard Lundy, the Founder ? This question cannot be answered conclusively from the scant evidence which has thus far been discovered. I will now state all the facts that are known concerning this John Lundy. John Lundy and Margaret Lundy were witnesses to the cer- tificate of Richard Lundy and Elizabeth Large, who were married in the township of Buckingham on 3rd day of 4th month, 1 7 14, Margret's name standing immediately below John's, that being the usual order of signature for husband and wife; and the names of John and Margret appear in the list just after those of the near kinsmen of the bride. A petition was presented in March, 1725, to the Court of Quarter Sessions of Bucks county. Pa., for the erection of a new township ; and among those who signed this petition were John Lundy and Richard Lundy, Jr. 1 8 RICHARD LUNDY II. The name of John Liindy appears among the witnesses to the marriage certificate of Mar)' Llmdy and Robert Willson, which is dated at Plumstead, Bucks county, Pa., 8 of 8 month, 1734; and the name of Margret Lundy is among the witnesses to the marriage of Richard Lundy III. and Ann Willson at Bucking- ham, Bucks county, Pa., on 10 of 8 month, 1739. "John Lundy and Richard Lundy, Jr.," says Gen. W. H. H. Davis in his History of Bucks County, "were among the origi- nal settlers of Solebury Township." In the library of the Pennsylvania Historical Society at Phila- delphia, there is a manuscript history of the townships of Buck- ingham and Solebury by John Watson ; and it is stated therein that a number of Friends came from Long Island in 1705 and in the list are given the names of John and Richard Lundy. Without questioning the fact of a Quaker migration from Long Island, we know that Watson's statement concerning Richard Lundy is erroneous, and it is possible that his statement concern- ing John Lundy is also erroneous. On 14 day of i month, 175 1, a certain John Lundy presented to the Kingwood M. M. in Hunterdon county, N. J., a certificate of membership from the Gwynedd M. M. in Montgomery county. Pa. Query — Was John of Gwynedd identical with John of Bucks? Such are the facts. In the absence of further data, it is natural to suppose that John Lundy was a son of Richard Lundy I. by his first wife, Elizabeth Bennet. But this is a mere assumption: there is no proof. John's birth is not found of record ; but the matter of registration might easily have been neglected amid the grief and changes attendant on Elizabeth's death in 6 month, 1687, in the third year after her marriage. Richard Lundy the Si-xond. He was the son of Richard and Jane (Lyon) Lundy, and grandson of Sylvester Lundy of Axminister. He was born in Bucks county. Pa., on the 20th day of the 3rd month (May), 1692; and died on the 28 day of the 2nd month (February), 1772, in the 80th year of his age. in the township of .Allamuchy, County of Warren, N. J. He was buried in the yard of the Hardwick Society of Friends on the bank of the Pequest river. Richard Lundy II. lived during his childhood and youth, with his parents, near the Friends' meeting-house in Falls township ; his home was not far from the mansion of William Penn, so ELIZABETH LARGE. 1 9 that this first American-born Lundy, when a lad of eight or nine years, must frequently have seen and sometimes heard the great Quaker statesman ; for Penn lived at the mansion during his second visit to America in 1700-01 and was a regular attend- ant at the little meeting-house for worship, and there, too, sometimes lifted up his voice in prayer and exhortation. Richard Lundy II. and Elizabeth Large, daughter of Joseph Large of Bucks county. Pa., were married on 3 of 4 month, 1714. Two extracts are given herewith from the records of the Falls Monthly Meeting, Bucks county. Pa. : 7th of 2 mo., 1 714. "Richard Lundy, Junior, and Elizabeth Large proposed their intentions of marriage ; it being the first time, this meeting doth appoint Joseph Fell and William Lacy to inquire into his clear- ness and conversation and make report to next meeting." 5th of 3 mo., 1714. "Richard Lundy and Elizabeth Large proposed their inten- tions of marriage : it being the second time, and nothing appear- ing to obstruct they are left to their liberty to proceed according to truth, therefore this meeting doth appoint Thomas Bye and Joseph Fell to see it orderly accomplished." The Marriage Certificate of Richard Lundy IL and Elizabeth Large is given in the Record of Marriages for Hardwick and Randolph Monthly Meeting, Warren and Morris counties. New Jersey; it is the first certificate that was filed and copied, and begins on page one : — Whereas Richard Lundy, son of Richard Lundy, of the Township of Buckingham in the County of Bucks and Province of Pennsylvania, Batchelor, and Elizabeth Large (daughter of Joseph Large of the County of Bucks and Province of Pennsyl- vania, aforesaid, deceased), Spinster, haveing declared their intentions of Marriage with each other Before several Monthly Meetings of the People Called Quakers in the County of Bucks aforesaid according to the good order used amongst them, whose proceedings therein after a deliberate Consideration thereof, and haveing Consent of Parents & Relations Con- cerned, Nothing appearing to Obstruct, were approved of by the said Meetings . . .

Here our genealogical tree divides into many branches ; but, before considering that question, it will be well to string together such scattered items concerning the parents themselves as have been culled from various sources. Richard and Elizabeth lived for twenty-three years (1714- 1737) in Bucks county, Pa.; and then for ten years (1737- 1747) at Maiden Creek in Berks county. Pa.; and then (1747, until their deaths) in the township of AUamuchy, Warren county, N. J. The dates of removal are accurately determined from the certificate of membership given to them on each occasion by the Friends' meeting. They dwelt at first in Buckingham township, which is in the centre of Bucks county. Being at an inconvenient distance from any meeting-house, Richard and those Friends who had settled near him applied to the Falls Monthly Meeting for per- mission to organize a new Society ; their request was granted on 24 of 9 month, 1720, and they built the meeting-house at Buckingham that same year. The first entry in their book of minutes is dated 6 of 10 month, 1720 ; and the first pages are taken up almost exclusively by a long account of the efforts made by the Society at its monthly meetings to adjust a dispute between Christopher Topham and Richard Lundy IL concerning a bond and a book- debt. 3i RICHARD LUNDY it. Richard and his family soon moved to Plumstead, which was seven miles to the northwest. This was in 1724; for in the Buckingham minutes of that year, 2 of 10 month Richard Lundy, Junior, is alluded to as "now being Removed Ffar of." The location of their new home is indicated on an old map of that vicinity, drawn March 11, 1724, which places Richard's land in the southwestern part of the present township of Plum- stead. Among the petitioners to the Court of Quarter Sessions in Alarch, 1725, for the erection of a new township were John Lundy and Richard Lundy, Jr. Here Richard was again active in organizing a new Society of Friends ; and as a result the Plumstead Preparative meeting was established as a branch of the Buckingham monthly meet- ing. By this we understand that the Friends living in the vicinity of Plumstead were still enrolled at Buckingham and constituted a part of that monthly meeting; but that, in con sideration of their distance away they were permitted to hold meetings for worship at Plumstead in private dwellings at first until they grew strong enough to build a meeting-house. In 1730 they bought a lot and put up a log meeting-house; the deed for the land is dated January the 19th, and the trustees named therein are Richard Lundy IL, William Michener, Josiah Dyer and Joseph Dyer. At a monthly meeting held on 7th of II month. 1728-9, Josiah Dyer and Ehester Browne declared their intentions of marriage ; and the meeting appointed William Michenor and Richard Lundy [H.J, Junior, to make inquiry into the s'd Josiah's clearness, which they did, and in due time reported "nothing to obstruct." On 4 of 4 month, 1729, Richard Lundy [IL], Jr., made a complaint before the Falls Monthly Meeting against a member for detain- ing a just debt; and two months later, Richard was left to his liberty to recover his money as the law directs. The statements copied below are taken from the records of the Monthly Meeting : 5th of 3 mo., 1735, at Buckingham. "Richard Lundy [IL], Junior, requested a certificate for himself, wife, and family to Gwynodd Monthly Meeting in order to join themselves thereto." 6th of 8 mo., 1735. "This meeting appoints Cephas Child to serve as an Elder in the place of Richard Lundy, for Plumstead Meeting. At this ELIZABETH LARGE. 23 meeting those friends that were appointed to inquire into Richard Lundy's clearance report that they hnd nothing to hinder his having a certificate ; they also brought one according to the order of the meeting which was read and ordered to be signed by the clerk in behalf of the meeting." 3rd of 9 mo., 1735. "This meeting appoints Lawrence Pearson and Joseph Brown as overseers m room of Richard Lundy and William Michenor for Plumstead Meeting." Richard Lundy IL and his family seem to have lived in Berks county for ten years. Their home is said to have been at Maiden Creek, which is about ten miles north of the city of Reading and about midway between the rivers Delaware and Susquehanna. Maiden Creek is the name of a village, of a township and of a stream of water. Those members of Friends' Society who lived at Maiden Creek were at first under the jurisdiction of the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting in Montgomery county. Pa. ; but in 1737 the Exeter Monthly Meeting was established in Berks county, and Friends living at Maiden Creek were assigned to the new meeting. For more than sixty years, 1682-1744, the Quakers held con- trol of the Pennsylvania legislative assembly, and, of course, no military measures were taken to protect the people against the Indians. This caused great dissatisfaction to the non- Quaker element of the population, who succeeded in electing a majority of the legislature, and in 1747 passed a law permitting volunteer military organizations to be formed. This first serious blow at Quaker predominance marks the year in which the Lundy households removed to New Jersey. During Fifth month, 1747, Richard Lundy IL removed from Berks county, Pa., and settled in the valley of the Request river, at the upper end of the Great Meadows, in what is now Alla- muchy township, Warren county, N. J. In his new home he was far away from any organized Society of Friends; and so his certificate of membership was addressed to a Friends' Society in Hunterdon county, N. J., a meeting which has borne during its long history three different official titles — Bethlehem, Kingwood and Quakertown. On 25 of 4 month, 1747, he had requested from the Exeter Monthly Meeting a certificate for himself and family to the 24 KlCllAUD LUNDV 11. Ucthlchcin Montlily Meeting, N. J.; and the women's records of tlic same place and date show that Ehzabeth Lundy had apphcd for a certificate to Bethlehem "'jointly with her husband and children"; and an entry on the Exeter minutes dated 30 of 5 month, 1747, states that Elizabeth Lundy had removed with her husband to Bethlehem. Richard and Elizabeth and their minor children became members of the Bethlehem Meeting on presentation of their certificate on 8 of 8 month, 1747. Four of Richard and Elizabeth's children of mature age had pre- viously settled at the Great Meadows. At a Council of New Jersey held at Burlington 28 March, 1749, Richard Lundy was nominated as a justice of the peace for the County of Morris, which was assented to by the Coun- cil.— N. J. Archives, Vol. XVL, page 91. On 8th of 4 month, 1749, Richard Lundy, Sr., was appointed an Elder of the meeting at Great Meadows by the Kingwood Monthly Meeting, N. J.. On 1 1 of 4 month, 1754, Josiah Dyer, Richard Lundy, Senior, and Samuel Schooley were appointed by the Ivingwood Monthly Meeting to pay religious visits to the families of Friends belonging to Hardwick branch. There is a series of books, twelve in number, entitled Friends' Miscellany, the eighth volume of which, page 349, gives a short history of the Kingwood and Hardwick Monthly Meeting, wherein it is stated that Daniel Stanton and Joshua Emlen, two traveling Quaker preachers, visited Friends in those parts in 1764, and that they had a large meeting at Kingwood to edifi- cation and comfort, and that they went "thence to Richard Lundy 's at the Great Meadows and had a meeting at his house, where was a number of tender hearted youth and others." The patriarchal Richard was now nearing the close of a long and well-spent life, and his heart rejoiced when he saw the goodly number and promising character of his descendants, so many of whom had gathered there on this occasion for public worship. In the course of conversation, Richard spoke to Daniel Stanton and said, "I have seventy children and grand- children; and some of them are valuable Friends." Zeal and devotion to his religion led Richard Lundy IL to accept all appointments to attend the meetings of his Society. The monthly meetings were held alternately at Kingwood (now Quakertown), and Hardwick, the quarterly meetings at Bur- lington, N. J. ; and the yearly meetings at Philadelphia. These Richard lundy ii. 25 were no light undertakings, considering the distances, the con- dition of the roads, and the modes of traveling in use at that time. "Kingwood Monthly Meeting's Testimony concerning our ancient Friend and Elder Richard Lundy : "He was son of Richard and Jane Lundy of Bucks Co., Pa., Professors of the truth with us, born the 20th of the 3rd mo., 1692. He was a man much esteemed amongst Friends and others, being of a meek and quiet spirit, exemplary in life and conversation and a pattern of plainness and simplicity, diligent in attending meetings for worship and discipline, duly observ- ing the hour appointed, and in contribution for the service thereof gave freely according to his ability. He often gave up to attend monthly, quarterly and yearly meetings with great willingness even in his declining years until the indisposition of his wife rendered that service impracticable. He was an atTectionate husband, a tender father and a kind friend, punc- tual and just in his dealings among men, evidencing to the world that he was concerned to do to others as he would have them do to him. His house was freely opened for those who travelled in the work of the ministry whose company he greatly valued, and often cheerfully travelled with such as a guide to other meetings. He lived in the fear of the Lord and was much concerned that love and unity might be maintained among Friends, and deeply afifected when anything of a contrary nature arose to obstruct it. In his last illness, which was but short, he entirely refused the help of any physician, 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 the 2nd mo., 1772, aged near eighty years; and though our loss is great, we are comforted in the hope that he is gone to inherit the crown immortal which is laid up for all those who love and fear the Lord. He was decently buried in Friends' burying ground at Hard- wick the 29th of the same, attended by a large number of Friends and others. Signed by order of said meeting at Hardwick the 13th day of the 8th mo., 1772. By Jacob Smith, Clerk." 26 UlClIAl^ LUNDY 11.

In the preceding pages, I have arranged in chronological order and presented to the reader many passages gathered from Friends' records and from other trustworthy sources, relating to Richard Lundy L and Richard Lundy H. Especially to be prized are those extracts which bear witness to moral worth and reUgious character ; but even those which may seem at first to be unimportant serve at least one purpose exceedingly well — they enable us to locate our Lundy forefathers during their first century in America with a definiteness and exactness in regard to time and place that is very satisfactory. Anecdotes might 28 RICHARD LUNDY II. impart interest to the narrative; but names and places and dates are the things that produce conviction and prove that the introductory sketches of the Lundy family have been deter- mined with historical certainty. The Children and Grandciiilduen of Richard Lundy II. and Eljzabeth Large. There were five sons and four daughters. All were born in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, between the years 171 5 and 1732. All had birthright membership in the Religious Society of Friends ; all finished their course and kept the faith. They all married; and, with the possible exception of Margaret the youngest child, all left ofifspring and have numerous descend- ants living at the present time. They all settled in Warren county, New Jersey, between the years 1745 and 1748; this was before the French and Indian War, and Warren county was a part of Sussex. All continued to dwell there in the vicinity of Johnsonburg and Allamuchy, and all died there, except Martha (Lundy) Schooley, who, in 1759, removed to Newton only ten miles away.. Richard III. died in 1756 at 41 years of age, Joseph in 1759 at 40 years, Margaret in 1766 at 34, Thomas in 1773 or thereafter at 48 or more, Jacob in 1800 at 79, Samuel in 1801 at 74, Martha in 1803 at 80, Mary in 1807 at 91, and Elizabeth in 1811 at 81. Their average age was sixty-two years. How many grandchildren were there? A full and correct list of the names of all children born to each family has been obtained, except in the case of Joseph and of Margaret. Richard III. had eleven children, Mary eight, Jacob ten, Martha five, Thomas six, Samuel twelve, and Eliza- beth twelve, making a total of sixty-four grandchildren in these seven households. It is known with certainty that Joseph had at least one child, giving a total of sixty-five known grand- children. I. Richard Lundy III. was born 23 of 4th month, 1715 ; his death date is given at the bottom of the first page of the Hard- wick Record of Births in these words: "The above-named Richard Lundy Departed this Life the 7th of the nth Month, 1757, and was Decently Buryed in Friends burying ground at Hardwick." He married Ann Willson at xMaiden Creek, Pa., in 1739, and ELIZABETH LARGE. 29 settled near Allamuchy, Warren county, N. J., in 1746. Ten of his eleven children ^rew to maturity ; namely, Samuel, William, Amos, Sarah (Kester), Richard IV., Ann (Webster), Ebenezer, John, Eliezer, and Azariah. Samuel and William removed to Canada ; Samuel locating near Newmarket and William at Lundy's Lane ; Ebenezer and Eliezer settled in Bucks county. Pa. ; and Amos, Sarah, Richard IV., John, and the family of Azariah emigrated to Virginia. The names of all the descendants of Richard III., so far as it has been possible to trace and identify the same, have been classified in the accompanying genealogy under Group One. II. Mary Lundy was born 6 of 11 month, 1716. The first entry in the list of Burials kept by the Hardwick Society of Friends states that "Mary Willson, widow of Robert Willson, deceased, and lately residing in the Township of Independence, County of Sussex, N. J., died 3 month 4 day, 1807, at the agt of ninety years, and was buried at Hardwick Meeting-house." Mary was an Elder in the Religious Society of Friends. She married Robert Willson at Buckingham, Pa., in 1734. They removed to Maiden Creek, Pa., in 1737, and thence to the great Meadows in Warren county, N. J., in 1747. Their homestead is still in the Willson name (1901). They had eight children, five of whom attained maturity and married ; namely, Ebenezer, Jonathan, Mary (Willets), Moses, and Martha (Widdifield). Their descendants are enumerated under Group Two. III. Joseph Lundy was born 24 of 4 month, 1719. There is reason to believe that he died in 1759. He married Susanna Hutton at Maiden Creek, Berks county, Pa., in 1743, and removed to Warren county, N. J., in 1745. Joseph and Susanna certainly had a son Enos of Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, and probably other children among whom may have been William of Newton. N. J., and Sarah (Carpenter) of Pennsylvania. In 1758 a Joseph Lundy married Sarah Willson. It is possible that among Joseph's children were also Nancy Lundy, Cather- ine Lundy, and Hannah Lundy, who married Samuel Shotwell of Sussex county, N. J. For further information, see Group Three. IV. Jacob Lundy was born 15 of 6 month. 1721. An old entry made on the inside of the first cover-leaf of the Hardwick Record of Births, opposite the entry of his birth date, states that "Jacob Lundy departed this Life the 17th day of the ist 3© RICHARD LUXDY II. Month, 1800, and was Decently buryed in Friends Burying ground at Hardwick the i8th of the same." He removed from Maiden Creek, Pa., to Warren county. X. J., in 1745. He married Mary Willson in 1748. Four of tlicir ten children are known to have married and left descendants ; namely, Jacob H., Mary (Schmuck). Jonathan, and Deborah (Dennis); consult Group Four. V. Martha Lundy was born i of 6 month. 1723. An entry in an old Bible now in the possession of Mr. Benjamin D. Schooley of Newton, N. J., states that "Martha Schooley, wife of Benjamin Schooley, was taken sick on the 15th day of the seventh month eighteen hundred and three, and died on the eleventh day of the ninth month following. Age eighty years and about one month." Entry number 17 in the Hardwick Record of Burials says that "Martha Schooley, daughter of Richard Lundy, and a late resident of Sussex county, N. J., died 9th Month, the eleventh, 1803, and was buried at Newton." Martha married Benjamin Schooley in 1755 and settled at New- ton, Sussex county. N. J., about 1760. Four of their five children married; namely, Elizabeth (White), Ann (Dennis), Joseph, and Martha (Phillips). Their descendants so far as known are given in Group Five. \l. Thomas Lundy Avas born 14 of 6 month, 1725. The date of his death has not been ascertained ; he was living in 1772. In 1745 he removed from Maiden Creek, Pa., to Warren countv. N. J., and in 1750 married Joanna Doan. They had six children, who married and left descendants; namely, Susanna ( Parker ) , Reuben of Columbia county, Pa., Ephraim of Lycoming county. Pa.. Thomas H. of North Carolina. Joseph of Sussex county and of Rancocas, Burlington county, N. J., and Elizabeth ( Bunting) of Warren coimty, N. J. The descendants of Thomas and Joanna are named under Group Six. \'II. Samuel Lundy was born 13 of 12 month. 1727. Entry No. 19 in the Hardwick Record of Burials states that "Samuel Lundy. son of Richard Lundy, and lately a resident of Sussex county. N. J., died on the 14th day of 2nd Month. 1801. at the age of seventy-four years, and was buried at Hardwick." He came to Warren county, N. J., with his parents in 1747. Samuel was a Judge of the Sussex County Court. He married ( i ) Ann Schooley in 1751, and (2) Sarah Willets in 1765. He had ELIZABETH LARGE. $1 twelve children, three by his first wife and nine by his second; namely, Isaac, Daniel, George of Johnsonburg, N. J. ; Ann (Patterson) ; Levi of Wyandotte county, Ohio; Edith (Laing) ; Samuel II. of Waterloo, Seneca county, N. Y. ; Achsah (Laing); Jesse of Welland county, Ontario, Canada; Sarah (Lundy) of Allamuchy, N. J. ; and Amy (Adams) ; and Tamer, who died in infancy. The various lines of descent from Judge Samuel Lundy are recorded in Group Seven. \TII. Elizabeth Lundy was born lo of 3 month, L730. Entry No. 8 in the Hardwick Record of Burials states that "Elizabeth Willson widow of Gabriel Willson, and lately a resi- dent of Sussex County. N. J., died 25th of 5th Month, 181 1, at the age of eighty-one years, and was buried at Hardwick." Ehzabeth married Gabriel Willson I. in 1748; they settled on the great meadows near Allamuchy, Warren county, N. J., and had twelve children, eight of whom grew to maturity and married; namely, Charity (Willets) of North Carolina, Eliza- beth (Schooley) of North Carolina, Robert of Kentucky, Daniel of Welland county. Ontario, Canada, Gabriel II. ; Ann (Vliet) ; Jesse of Welland county, Ontario, Canada; and Jeremiah of Indiana. Elizabeth (Lundy) Willson's descendants constitute Group Eight. IX. Margaret Lundy was born 14 of 12 month, 1732, "and Departed this Life the — day of the 4th month, 1776, and was Decently buryed in Friends Burying ground at Hardwick" ; the words in quotation marks are from the first page of the Hard- wick Record of Births. She married John Willson, who was born 13 of 12 month, 1723, and who had removed from Maiden Creek, Pa., to New Jersey in 1745. Their marriage is recorded in the Kingwood minutes under date of nth day of 8th month. 1750. No record of any children has been found. I copied the following from IVills, Liber. 14, page 409, in the office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, N. J. : "Samuel Lundy's Account." "Be it remembered that the account of Samuel Lundy, execu- tor of John Willson, deceased, was settled and approved of before Robert Burchan, surrogate, and a quietus issued under the prerogative seal by which it appears there is remaining in his hands a balance of two hundred twenty-six pounds, four- teen, and seven pence. Dated the 27 of November, 1771. Chas. Pettit, Reg." 32 RICHARD r.UNDY IT. It may be remarked that four of the cliildren of Richard and Elizabeth ( Large ) Lundy married four of the children of Samuel and Esther (Overton) Willson ; to wit, Richard Lundy in. married Ann Willson, Mary Lundy married Rol)ert Will- son, Elizabeth Lundy married Gabriel Willson, and Margaret Lundy married John Willson ; and it may be observed further that a sister and brother of this same Lundy household married a brother and sister of the Schooley family ; to wit, Martha Lundy married Benjamin Schooley and Samuel Lundy married Ann Schooley. children of Samuel and Avis (Holloway) Schooley. King Philip's War marks the coming of the Lundy's ; the Revolutionary War marks the dispersal of the Lundy's. For one century the Lundy kith and kin clung together. During the last quarter of that century. 1746- 1776. they all resided in New Jersey, in the valley of the Request river, within a radius of a few miles of the Friends' Meeting-house ; they knew each other personally, and every father and mother of them could have told the exact relationship existing between all the house- holds. But since that time, it has been "scatter, scatter, scatter." From Warren county, their last united home, they have gone north and south and west. Yet notwithstanding these con- tinual losses by removal, the Lundy name has never ceased to be a familiar one in the old Quaker settlement on the Request. In reading the documents of colonial times, it is important to bear in mind the changes that have been made in the boundaries of political divisions by the formation of new counties and townships. Hunterdon county was erected in 1713. and origi- nally included Sussex and Warren ; Morris was erected in 1738- 9, and included Sussex and Warren ; Sussex was organized in 1753, and included Warren, which was not separated from Sussex until 1824. The old township of Hard wick was erected by royal patent about 171 3. Portion after portion has been cut ofif until the present township of Hardwick is only a remote corner of the wide area originally included under that ancient name. Independence was organized in 1782; and from Inde- pendence the borough of Hackettstown was cut oiT in 1853 and AUamuchy in 1873. Three other townships have been taken from Hardwick ; namely. Green and Stillwater in 1824, and Frelinghuysen in 1848. Hardwick Patent has been the mother of townships. MAP OF WARREN COUNTY, N.

There is in the eastern part of North America a long, con- tinuous, trough-Hke depression called the Great Appalachian Valley, beginning at Quebec in Canada and extending south- ward to the State of Alabama. It is one and the same valley throughout, although known in different sections of the country by various local names ; thus in Canada it is called the valley of the Sorel River, in \'ermont the valley of Lake Cham- plain, in New York the valley of the Hudson River (as far south as Newbergh), in Pennsylvania the Cumberland Valley, in Virginia the Shenandoah valley, and further southward the valley of the East Tennessee River. That part of this great depression which crosses New Jersey is forty miles long and twelve miles wide, and is called the Kittatinny Valley. It is bounded on the northwest by the Kittatinny Mountain, which extends from New York State to the Delaware Water Gap and rises from 1,500 to 1,800 feet above the level of the sea; and on the southeast by the AUamuchy Mountain, which rises to the height of 1 ,250 feet. The basin lying between these two parallel ranges is 600 feet below their crests ; but it does not answer at all to the conventional idea of a river valley, for the surface is broken by numerous outcrops of limestone forming knolls from 40 to 80 feet high, which impart to it a rough, mountainous aspect. The western end of the Kittatinny valley is drained into the Delaware river by two parallel streams — the Paulins Kill, 36 miles long, flowing from Augusta to Columbia, and having a drainage area of 177 square miles; and the Pequest river, 32 miles long, flowing from Pinkneyville to Belvidere and having an area of 158 square miles. Each stream has its own railroad line ; the New York, Susquehanna and Western runs along the Kill ; the Lehigh and Hudson runs along the Pequest. These two subvalleys are separated by a long rolling slate plateau, 300 feet high, running lengthwise through the middle of the valley and fitly named from its structure the Ridge. The views from the Ridge are magnificent ; in one direction you look across the valley of the Pequest and .see the AUamuchy Mountain ; in the opposite direction, you look across the valley of the Paulins Kill and see the Kittatinny Mountain with its level crest notched by that wonderful work of nature, the Delaware Water Gap. THE PEQUEST VALLEY. 35 I have mentioned the rugged character of the Kittatinny valley ; there is, however, one large level tract along the Pequest where the Jenny Jump, an isolated mass of Archaean rock 1,140 feet high, encroaches on the valley and makes it narrow, and right here across the narrow part lies a heavy dam of drift, a stiff clay intermixed with bowlders, dumped there, if we can credit the fairy tales of science, as a moraine by retreat- ing glaciers during the Age of Ice. This obstacle caused the river to backwater, forming a shallow lake four miles long and two miles wide, which, in the course of geological time, was filled with sediment and other washed-in material. This is the Great Meadows, called so in colonial days, but now more dis- tinctively named the Pequest Meadows. It is really a low swamp of peat-bogs and timber, too wet for cultivation and subject to overflow by freshets, the sluggish stream not being able to carry off the water poured into it so rapidly at times from the neighboring hillsides. But the land at the upper end of the swamp, being somewhat more elevated, makes choice farms with upland for grain and excellent meadows for hay and pasture. A straight line joining Johnsonburg and Alla- muchy marks the upper edge of the Pequest Meadows, and there along the river is where the Quakers made their settle- ment and built their meeting-house. By the courtesy of the State Geologist of New Jersey, I am able to insert in this book a picture of the Pequest valley. The entire Quaker settlement is shown, but it does not take up the whole picture ; the settlement occupies one-third of the picture, the part to the right. The right edge of the picture is a line passing near Johnsonburg and the Southtown school-house ; the left edge includes Marshall Hibler's dwelling house, which is plainly visible, and extends some distance above the village of Andover. Start from Johnsonburg and climb the long high hill till you reach the ridge road on the county line separating Sussex and Warren. Cross the green so that the Yellow Frame Church does not obstruct the view and gaze to the southeast. You are looking over a valley 400 feet deep and 6 miles wide. The horizon is bounded by a waving line formed by the rounded crests of the Allamuchy Mountain ; you will notice that the snow-covered fields indicating cultivation spread over the flanks of the mountain and in some places creep far up toward 36 THE PEQUEST VALLEY. the summit. A road branching ofif at the church turns down the hill and passes a large oak-tree, the tips of the branches of which reach above the sky-line. Observe the row of nine apple-trees, beyond the fence, in the next field ; over them see two fields partly mowed. The snow has settled down into the standing stubble which causes the unmowed portion to appear dark in strong contrast with its belt of pure white. The public road already mentioned, which re-appears and separates those two partly-mown fields, leads over the hill to Greensville, a village two and a half miles from the Yellow Frame, and a half mile beyond the crest of the hill. Near the village, Benjamin Lundy, the philanthropist, was born and bred. The farm buildings on the old estate of Job J. Shaw, now William Vough's, are plainly visible in the field to the right ; and the minute lines on the further edge of the same field indicate a peach orchard. Along the mountain and above the partly-mown field to the left of the Greenville road, and marked in the picture by a dark patch a half inch long, may be seen the farm now owned and occupied by Henry Nelson and Rhoda (Decker) Lundy. This tract of timber which shows heavy and dark in the right of the picture and comparatively near the Yellow Frame is the Big Wood that extends from Johnsonburg to Dark Moon. The Tranquility Church is exactly in the middle of the picture from right to left; the gleam of the spire, which is easily seen by the eye from this hill, has left its impress on only a few of the pictures. The course of the Pequest river is clearly indicated by a narrow dark line nearly continuous extending from left to right across the entire picture, the dark line being caused by the trees and bushes along the banks of the stream. The little village of Allamuchy nestles at the foot of the distant mountain. It is six miles from where we are standing, and its position is shown on the plate by a dark patch one and a quarter inches from the top of the picture and three and three-eighths inches from the right edge. The tall cedar-trees that fringe the road that leads from Allamuchy upward and to the right across the mountain to Hackettstown are plainly indicated by a dark streak. The meeting-house of the Hardwick Society of Friends cannot be seen, but it stands close to the Pequest river and almost exactly in line between the Yellow Frame Church and Allamuchy. The level character of the land in the Quaker settlement pre- HARDWICK SOCIETY OF FRIENDS. 37 sents no salient featnres for description. There is one thing more I wish to point out, and tliat is the sky-field. It looks like a piece of the sky, for it shows white and rests so high on the very top of the mountain. It is to the right of the oak limb, and one-fourth inch from the right-hand edge of the picture. That is not a patch of sky notching down into the mountain ; it is a distinctive and ever-present feature of the landscape as viewed from the valley ; it faces the dwelling of Judge Samuel Lundy and of George and Esther Lundy. Many a Willson and many a Lundy would recognize that high field as the land-mark of their childhood home, seen hundreds of times, clothed in green during spring-time and summer, but in winter snow-clad. And there it lies in the picture sparkling on the distant mountain top as natural as life. The Hardwick Society of Friends. Public meetings for the worship of God were held at the Great Meadows in Warren county, N. J., as early as July, 1745. These meetings were held at private houses. The members of Friends' Society who dwelt at the Meadows had on 13th of 3 month, 1745, made a request to the Kingwood Monthly Meet- ing for permission to hold such meetings every first day of each week; and their request was granted on the eighth of fifth month (July), and Samuel Willson, Junior, was appointed by the Kingwood Meeting to serve as an overseer at the Hard- wick particular Meeting. Liberty to hold a meeting for wor- ship on the Fourth day of every week was obtained on i6th of 9th month, 1747. A public Meeting-house was needed, and steps were taken for the erection of one, but Friends became divided on the question as to where it should be located. This led to an appeal to the Kingwood meeting, which appointed a committee consisting of Jeremiah Williams, Joseph King, Sr., Joseph Webster, Joseph King, Jr., and William King to assist Friends at the Meadows in fixing upon a place for a building; to which committee there were afterward added John Emley, Peter Schmuck, Jacob Simcock, and Wihiam Emley. This committee made a report to the Kingwood Meeting on 12 of 2nd month, 1750, and gave it as their opinion and judgment that the Meeting-house should be built at the same place where the graveyard had been made there. Those Friends who were ;^S llARDWICK SOCIETY OK l••Kl^:^fDS. dissatisfied with this decision carried the case by appeal to the Quarterly Meeting, but without result; for on 17th of 7th month, 1750, it was reported to Kingwood by an extract from the minutes of the Quarterly Meeting that the judgment of the committee had been confirmed. It would seem that a log meet- ing-house was soon erected ; and there can be little doubt that it was located near Friends" graveyard in AUamuchy township. A deed for land was given in 1752 by Richard Penn ""for a Friends' meeting-house forever." This Richard was a grand- son of William Penn. It is of record in the office of the West Jersey Proprietors at Burlington that on March 10, 1714-15. a land-warrant was issued to William Penn for Lot ye 50th, that said lot was laid out by John Reading, an authorized surveyor, and that the legal transfer of the land from the Proprietors to William Penn was completed by the return of the warrant and survey to the office on May 27, 1715. The said lot is described as lying "on both sides of the Paquaessing river upon an Indian patli which leads from AUamuchakohin to Pahukqualong," which, when modernized, becomes "'on both sides of the I'equest river upon an Indian path which leads from AUamuchy to Pahaquarry." The public road from AUamuchy to Johnson- burg follows the ancient Indian path mentioned in William i'enn's land-warrant ; and this was only a short section in the great trail, or Indian path, along which the Mincy Indians traveled to and fro in their annual excursions to Long Branch on the New Jersey coast, which, even before the coming of the white man, was a popular summer resort. The trail crossed the Kittatinny mountain at Wind Gap, passed through Marksboro, Johnsonburg, AUamuchy, and Hackettstown, and continued due southeast to the ocean, the whole distance from the Dela- ware to the sea, being seventy-five miles as the bird flies. The Quaker meeting-house and burying-ground are at the exact spot where the Indian trail crossed the Pequest river. The privilege of holding a Preparative Meeting at Hard- wick was granted on 13 of 5 month, 1756, which meeting was to be held every Fourth Day of the week next but one before every Monthly Meeting, and a report of the proceedings therein was to be made to the Kingwood Meeting if required. During 1757 Hard wick made several requests to Kingwood for the liberty to hold a youths' meeting. On 10 of 5 month, 1757, Hardwick Friends requested that the Monthly Meeting be held HARDWICK SOCCETY OF FRIENDS. 39 at their place sometimes ; and their request having- been granted, it was arranged that the Monthly Meeting should be held at Hardwick every other month and continue so till Friends may see cause to order it otherwise. Accordingly the first Quarterly Meeting ever held in Warren county was held at Hardwick Meeting-house in 6th month, 1759, N. S. The Hardwick Society was now in its youthful vigor. The petty persecutions it had endured during the French and Indian War because of refusal to train for military service had only strengthened it. The regular coming of visitors from Hunter- don county to attend the Quarterly Meeting naturally excited a desire for a larger and better meeting-house. The matter was talked over and finally brought before the Quarterly Meet- ing in the form of a proposition to rebuild the Hardwick Meet- ing-house. A committee was appointed, and the sum of 80 pounds was raised by subscription at Hardwick and Kingwood. On 10 of 2 month, 1763, Peter Schmuck and Jacob Lundy were named as additional members of that committee; and it was agreed that said house should be 40 feet long and 25 feet wide in the clear and one story high. The new building was finished in 1764. Hardwick was separated from Kingwood and authorized as a distinct Monthly Meeting on 21 of i month, 1797; the first minutes are dated the first day of sixth month the same year. The following Elders were continued in ofiice : William Shot- well, Ebenezer Willson, George Lundy, Jacob Lundy, Jr., Mercy Brotherton, Mary Willson, Jehoaden Willson, and Esther Lundy. George Lundy had been an Overseer in the Kingwood Meeting since 1785. After the unhappy contro- versy of 1827 which rent in twain the Society of Friends, the Hardwick Monthly Meeting entered into fellowship with the branch commonly called Hicksite. The number of members was steadily diminished by a stream of removals to Pennsyl- vania, Virginia, New York, Ohio, and Canada. The last meet- ing at the Hardwick Meeting-house was held on 2nd day of 2nd month, 1854; and the Society was laid down at a meeting held on 9th day of 6th month, 1855, in the Mendham Meeting- house, in Randolph township, Morris county, N. J. The records were given to the Plainfield Society in Union county, N. J.. The meeting-house and the adjoining land was sold in 1865 to Jesse Adams ; the burying-ground is still owned by the 4o gUAKER MEETING. Society and is visited yearly by a committee of Friends from Plaintield. The meeting-house itself was torn down in 1866 and a school-house erected on the foundations. The foregoing account of the Hard wick Society of Friends until its separation from Kingwood is based almost entirely un the minutes of the Kmgwoud Aionthly Meeting; 1 am indebted for many of the items to the kindness of Alary (VVillson) Vail of Quakertown, N. J., since deceased, but the notes furnished by her have been supplemented by data taken from The Kingwood Records as edited by Prof. J. W. Aioore, Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., and published in The Jersey man by Mr. H. E. Deats of Flem- ington, N. J. Reaiiniscences. The following account of the homesteads in the Quaker Set- tlement with reminiscences of the Hardwick Society of Friends has been furnished to me by Airs. Richard T. Armstrong : 'T will describe," writes she, "the meeting-house of the Hardwick Society of Friends. It was built of dark-colored hmestone ; it was a low solid-looking structure forty feet by twenty-five on the inside, with a chimney at the west end and two front doors facing the south. It stood on elevated ground in the midst of a natural grove three acres in extent. A short distance east of the meeting-house and almost in line with it, there were substantial sheds for the horses to be tied in. The road coming from Johnsonburg forks at the corner of the woods ; one branch passes straight ahead along the western side of the lot, and the other, which leads to AUamuchy, turns sharp to the left and bouiuls the grove on the north. Barring the drive- ways, the grounds were well in with natural grass, free from straggling under-l)rush, and well shaded by the primitive forest trees. The l)eautiful greensward, the dense shade, the songs of the birds and tlie chirrup of the squirrels made it a cool and pleasant retreat. "On the north side of the building there was a small door, which opened into the east-room ; this door was never used for going in or out, but always stood open in hot weather during meeting-time for the purpose of ventilation, there being no window on that side of the building. The entrance doors, as I have said, were on the south side, one near the middle of each room; these doors were made of narrow boards fitted Quaker meeting. 41 diagonally, a peculiarity which rendered them noticeable and always attracted the attention of passers-by as long as the meeting-house remained standing. "The interior was divided into two apartments by a partition so arranged that it could be removed and the two rooms thrown into one. This partition was paneled, and the upper part could be unfastened at the top and slid down on one side of the stationary part below which stood two and a half or three feet above the tioor. This arrangement for dividing the house was a matter of economy as well as comfort, because in cold weather only one room was needed and only that part had to be warmed. In the west room there was a fireplace and chimney ; in the east room there was a large ten-plate stove. The movable partition was in three parts; one of these was on the elevation, and the rest of it had to be in two pieces, because there was a door con- necting the two rooms. On special occasions when the parti- tions had been taken down, the door itself was removed for the time, but the posts were stationary. The seats were plain benches about eight feet long; some of them had home-made cushions. The supports resting on the fioor reached eight or ten inches above the seats at the ends, having a circular hole cut in each, rounding up on the front, and narrowing above to the back-rest, which was fastened across rather high. A few inches above the tioor another narrow strip of board ran parallel to the seat, both front and back, which was convenient for the little folks to rest their feet on. The woodwork throughout was unpainted, but scrupulously clean. "On the north side and extending the entire length of the building, there was an elevated platform two steps up and about five feet wide. This was the pulpit. A seat along the wall, a railing in front about the right height for a person to put his hand on when speaking, a board-front reaching from the floor to the railing, a low bench along the front side convenient for the speaker to kneel on in prayer — these constituted the outfit for the speaker's accommodation. There was an aisle from each door, and each aisle ended in the front of each room at a stair of two low steps up to the speaker's platform ; and the seats were so arranged with their ends along the aisle and their backs toward the door that the listeners sat facing the platform. "The stove in the east room was close to the platform. One seat was placed next to the sHding partition and facing the 42 QUAKER MEETING. Stove; the front seats being movable, were sometimes turned at right angles to the regular row ; and thus the people could sit facing the stove on both sides of it and in front of it, a good arrangement in cold weather. It was a large stove, between three and four feet high at least ; and it must have taken a stick three feet long, if not longer. While writing these lines, I seem to hear the ticking of that stove, which, as it cooled down or grew hotter by turns, gave out loud, clear, clock-like ticks constantly. Wood for use during service lay under the stove and by it ; but there was seldom any need to fix the fire during the time of worship, for the sexton understood his business well and had such a bed of hot coals that it kept the room warm throughout with little trouble. Many times have I sat on the bench by the stove with my back toward the partition, and warmed my feet and burned my face, and then, when thor- oughly warmed, have moved to the seat facing the front of the stove. In cold weather we did not venture to go very far from the stove. In the west room I always sat on the front seats back of the inner door. "Meetings for worship were usually held in the east room; the men always entered the house by the door of the east room ; and the women always entered by the west door and passed through that apartment into the east room. When both rooms were used, the women always sat in the room where the fire- place was. The older Friends generally sat on the front side- seats facing the stove, and the young people would sit farther back, so that if 1 looked up the aged members were the only ones I could see. When the old men on the front seats began to shake hands together, then we knew that the meeting was dismissed. On special occasions when the church would be filled and the partition removed, the older members always sat on the platform with the speakers, leaving the benches below for visitors. At these large gatherings, the women always spoke from the platform in the west room and the men from the platform in the east room. All the speakers were apt to lay their hands on the railing while they spoke; and those who prayed aloud generally knelt on the foot-benches; and better prayers have I never heard than I have in that old Quaker meet- ing-house, and some of the best speakers I ever heard I heard there also. "Once in a great while in the summer time, when the wor- QUAKER MEETING. 43 shipers were sitting there so quiet and still with the doors wide open, a little squirrel would come tripping in, and, surprised at finding occupants, would quickly in its own dialect offer apology for its intrusion and make off again in a hurry, I was sure to look up as soon as I felt I dare at some of the dear old Quaker men, and I was just as sure to find one of them looking at me. "Meetings for worship were held twice a week, on Sunday and again on Wednesday or Thursday, or to express it in Friends' language, on First day and on Fourth or Fifth day. One of the mid-week meetings was termed the Monthly Meeting; during the other weeks of the month, regular worship was held on the other day from what the Monthly Meeting was. Quarterly Meeting was held at Shrewsbury in May, at Rahway in summer, at Plainfield in the fall, and at Hardwick in the winter. My father's house was filled to overflowing at such times. The Friends from the other societies came to attend the meetings, which were continued during the greater part of the week, and were entertained among the members of the Hardwick society. My father's house seems to have been built with the purpose in view of entertaining large companies for days, it having five spare sleeping rooms ever ready for friends that might favor us with a visit, and when needed two more could be made to do duty with little change ; in fact, all the rooms could be con- verted into sleeping rooms with little trouble except the two largest, which were parlor and dining room ; for a second house with four large rooms stood but a few feet from the dwelling, and could be made to serve for kitchen and cook-house and for all the other work that was necessary at times like those. How we all enjoyed those days with the dear old Friends, who were accompanied by the younger members of their families. Among those I more particularly remember were Joseph La Fetra and his wife and daughters, especially his daughter Elizabeth only recently deceased ; John Borden and his wife Miriam and their adopted son, John W. Borden, who died years ago ; and Thomas Borden and his wife Susan. "My father and mother attended Quarterly Meeting at Shrewsbury in the spring of 1849 and took me along. It was on this trip and at New Brunswick that I saw ships for the first time in my life ; as father drove through the town, I could look down each cross street and see the ships on the Raritan river. 44 QUAKER MEETING, I was then thirteen years of age. It was a two days' journey. By starting- early they reached Plaintield the first day, where they were entertained by Friends. Re-enfurced by a number of Friends from that place, they set out early the next morning and drove to the homes of other Friends near Shrewsbury ; by noon the next day there would be several wagons in company, and they all stopped at the sand tavern, as we called it, from the fact that the hotel parlor was sprinkled artistically with white sand, it being in the pine lands where there was nothing but pine trees and sand for miles and miles. The night we reached our destination we stopped at Thomas Borden's, whose house was at Deal Beach, his being one of a few large houses that were filled with boarders during the summer season. They woke me early in the morning in time to go out on the porch on the east side of the third story of their house to see the sun rise out of the ocean, the first time I had ever gazed upon that watery waste. We attended all the sessions of the Quarterly Meeting. One night we stayed at John Borden's; he had just completed a new frame house, the yard yet to be levelled. We also stopped at Joseph La Fetra's a part of the time ; the visit- ing delegates being entertained at the homes of the different Friends. "On our return the traveling Friends were in company through the pines. A stranger was in danger of getting lost; it was difficult to trace one's way over the loose soil because the scant verdure on being driven over a few times became stirred into the sand, which filled in the ruts behind the passing wheels so that no track was left. A woodroad could not be distin- guished from the main highway, except by those who were familiar with the country. While at the sand tavern on our return, a number of the younger members of the company wished to walk on in advance and let the wagons overtake them. After l)eing carefully directed, we started, but before we were out of sight, one of the Friends who were hitching up the teams had U> run to overtake us and shout to us that we had taken the wrong road. The soft, deep sand here in the pines quickly wearied our horses and made them break out into a dripping sweat, for they were accustomed to solid roads ; on the other hand when Friends from Shrewsbury came to Hardwick to attend Quarterly Meeting, our steep hills caused their horses to fret and worry. QUAKER HOMESTEADS. 45 "The Hardvvick meeting-house was torn clown to the foun- dation in 1866 by a gathering of neighbors, and rebuilt for a school-house and made two stories high so as to have a Sunday- school room above. The nails in the woodwork had been made by hand and had large flat heads more than an inch broad ; and the mortar was found to be so firm and strong that the stones broke before the mortar holding them together would give way. The date-stone incut with the year 1764 and showing that the building was more than a century old. was removed from the chimney and carefully reset in the south-side foundation." "x*\mong the old members of the Hardwick Society were George and Levi Lundy and their wives, Samuel Laing and his wife Edith, John Schmuck, Ebenezer Willson, Mordecai Will- son, Gabriel Willson and his wife Grace, Joseph Adams and his wife Amy, Abner Willson and his wife Elizabeth, and the sons and daughters of many of these, among whom I may men- tion James Willson and his wife Amy, Henry Willson and his wife Elizabeth, Christopher Schmuck and his wife Elizabeth, and Abner Willson's daughters, Mercy and Belinda, who mar- ried the brothers Alfred and Joel Buckley, and also Samuel Hoey and his wife Sarah and their daughter Mary." "When Richard Lundy IL and his wife Elizabeth Large came to New Jersey, they took up land lying on both sides of the Bequest river and extending from that river across Pine Run to Bear creek. He divided this property into two farms ; the one along the Bequest he deeded to his son Jacob Lundy ; the other he left by will to his son Judge Samuel Lundy. Jacob's share of the old estate is still in the Lundy name and is occupied by Eli Vought Lundy. The old stone dwelling is inscribed J L 1783, showing that it was built in the year 1783 by Jonathan Lundy. The property has been owned successively by Richard H., by Jacob, by Jonathan, by Eli, and now by Eli's grandson, Eli Vought Lundy." "In 1780, Judge Samuel Lundy built a stone dwelling-house along Bine Run on his share of the old plantation. When the Judge died in 1801, he left the farm by will to his son Samuel Lundy, Jr., who, in 1802, married Elizabeth Shotwell and dwelt on the homestead until 1816. Joseph Adams of Delaware, Knowlton township, had married Amy Lundy, the youngest sister of Samuel, Jr. Joseph had decided to remove to New York State, and with this purpose in view he had purchased 46 QUAKER HOMESTEADS.

In the spring of 1816, he started in a wagon with his family for his new home. Leaving Knowlton, he stopped the first night in the Quaker settlement at the house of his brother-in-law, Samuel Lundy, Jr. In the morning they could not proceed because of illness. The result of the entire matter was that Samuel Lundy, Jr., traded his homestead for Joseph's uncleared tract of land in Wayne county, packed up and started at once for his newly acquired possessions, leaving Joseph Adams permanently in the stone house where the intention had been to tarry but for a night. By this exchange of property, a large Lundy family was transplanted to the western part of New York State, and a large Adams family was located in the Quaker settlement. Since the death of Joseph Adams the farm has been owned by James Warbasse, Jesse Wilson, Sedgwick R. Reeder, and now by Sedgwick's son Ira." "Jesse Lundy, son of Judge Samuel Lundy, was a carpenter, and lived on a lot near the Southtown school-house. Jesse sold the lot and afterward removed to Canada. James Lundy, whose wife was Elizabeth Pettit, lived on the same lot before he went to Ohio. The lot was owned for a while by John Hill- man, but is now a part of the estate of George W. Lundy." "Levi Lundy, a brother of Jesse, lived farther south, on the edge of Tamarack swamp near the confluence of Bear creek and Pine Run. Levi sold the farm in his old age and removed to Wyandotte county, Ohio, with his married sons. Levi's place was afterward owned by Aaron Howell, son of Levi Howell. I have heard my father say that there once was a corduroy road extending from the end of Levi Lundy's lane to an island farm out in the swamp ; but this road was abandoned long ago. John Lundy, Levi's son, before he removed to Ohio, lived between Abner Willson's and Judge Samuel Lundy's, but on the opposite side of the road." "George Lundy. another son of Judge Samuel, married Esther Willson. Their old homestead lies on both sides of the road leading toward Johnsonburg, and borders on Glover's pond. It was owned by their son David, who married Sarah Wildrick, and afterward by George Wildrick Lundy, a son of David and Sarah. The Southtown school-house stands on land donated from this estate." "Jonathan Willson lived at first on the farm of his father 48 QUAKER HOMESTEADS. Ebenezer, near the Allamuchy station ; but he sold this and bought land at the foot of the Jenny Jump mountain, along Bear creek opposite Judge Samuel Lundy's. Jonathan left it to his son Lewis ; and it still remains in the family name. Abner and Elizabeth Bunting once lived at the same corner, on the opposite side of the road." "The homestead of Samuel and Edith (Lundy) Laing was about a mile and a half from Johnsonburg on the left hand side of the road leading to Alamuche. Their son, Joseph Chapman Laing, inherited the farm; he married Phebe Ann Bunting, and had three daughters and a son Watson, who married Sarah Kennedy and left a son, George Irving Laing. The farm was eventually sold to Isaac Stickles and is now (1902) owned by Isaac's son John." "Ira K. Willson during the earlier part of his married life, lived between Johnsonburg and Samuel Laing's, over the hill from Dark Moon brook and the old stone dwelHng-house of Dr. Samuel Kennedy." "Josiah Dyer, Jr., and his wife Rachel Schooley. settled at a very early day on the farm adjoining that of Samuel Laing. The Dyer farm was owned for many years by Cummins O. Harris, and has recently been purchased by Ford Staples." "Going from Samuel Laing's toward the meeting-house, we pass the houses of Joseph E. Dyer and Tobias Stillwell, and come to the property of Christian and Mary (Lundy) Schmuck, which passed to their son John, who married Martha Willets. The house stands elevated and on the right, with the other buildings across the road and l)elow. John set ofif those fields which lie back from the road as a separate farm and willed it to the three children of his daughter, Sarah Hoey Sclimuck, who had married Cummins O. Harris. This inner farm is now owned, but not occupied, by Levi Kittle. John's son Christian married Elizabeth Laing and settled some distance below Long Bridge, near Meadville school-house, where he farmed and ran a sawmill." "George Lundy, Junior, was the son of George and Esther (Willson) Lundy. He married Ruth Adams and settled near the Friends' meeting-house, on the road leading to.Greensville. George died about 1824. When the children became of age, the farm was sold to William Hart, and afterward was owned by William's daughter Ellen (Hart) Craig, now deceased." QUAKER HOMESTEADS. 49 "Adjoining the farm of George and Ruth stood the house built and occupied by Samuel Lundy of Muncy, whose wife Sarah was a daughter of Judge Samuel Lundy. Muncy Samuel died in that house and was buried in Friends yard. Sarah was a great lover of flowers ; and she had all the varieties, old and new, known at that time. Her flower-garden was the admira- tion of the neighborhood. She rented one of her front rooms to a Mr. Loder, but reserved a large bed of pinks in front of the door ; and Mrs. Loder used to say to her, 'I get all the praise of those lovely flowers without having any of the care of them.' "Samuel Patterson and his wife Lucy lived between the meeting-house and the grave-yard." "Ebenezer Willson, son of Robert and Mary, married Jehoaden Schooley and lived during the latter part of his life on the first farm west of the AUamuchy station in a dwelling- house which stood a short distance from the point where the road winding up from the meadows joins the main road between AUamuchy and Johnsonburg. After Ebenezer's death, his son Jonathan sold the estate to the late George H. Ayers." "Robert and Mary (Lundy) Willson lived along the same road westward and nearer the Request river. I call this the Robert Willson homestead, for it was first owned by Robert and has always been owned and occupied by some of his descendants in the male line ; he himself deeded it to his son Ebenezer on 22 day of 2 month, 1762 ; Ebenezer deeded it to his son David in January, 1822; and David to his son Amos on April I, 1842; and Amos's son John now has it." "At the junction of the three roads coming from Long Bridge, the meeting-house and Judge Lundy's was the Hoey lot, and here lived Samuel and Sarah Hoey and their widowed daughter Mary Shaw." "The home of James and Elsie (Smalley) Shotwell was on the road leading from AUamuchy to Long Bridge. Their stone dwelling-house bears the date 1770; it stands near the creamery and is in good repair. It was afterward owned by their son Jonathan and subsequently by Jonathan's daughter Emelissa, and now by Mr. J. C. Runyon." "Robert and Rhoda (Dell) Willson lived at Long Bridge near AUamuchy." "The Buckley homestead was in to the left of the road leading from Long Bridge to the Hoey lot ; it was a part of the early (4) 5© QUAKER HOMESTEADS. Lundy tract and was next owned by a Stevenson, who sold it to George Buckley; it has since been owned by Silas Hibler, and is now owned by Sanford Hibler." "The homestead of Gabriel and Grace (Brotherton) Willson was on the road from the meeting-house to Long Bridge, lying on both sides of said road after turning to the right, say, half a mile south of the meeting-house, at a point where three roads meet. Moses Applegate lives there now. This land probably belonged to Gabriel's parents, Gabriel and Elizabeth (Lundy) Willson. After the death of Gabriel and Grace, the homestead was partitioned among their three sons — Enoch receiving 98 acres on the south side of the road ; James receiving the same amount on the north side, and Henry, who was a weaver by trade, receiving only 40 acres at the parting of the roads." "Joseph Willson lived near Gabriel, a little eastward, at the bridge across the river. I think this Joseph was a brother of my grandmother, Esther (Willson) Lundy. Joseph's farm passed to his son James, w^ho sold it and removed to New York State." "Abner Willson, son of Gabriel and Heziah (Decker) Will- son, married Elizabeth Lundy and lived on what is now the Samuel Drake farm. After Abner's death the place passed to his son Abijah ; and after Abijah's death, it was sold to Samuel Drake, whose wife is a great-grandchild of Abner Willson. The farm is a short distance northwest of the Hoey lot." "Jacob Lundy, son of Eli and Abigail (Dickerson) Lundy, now dwells on the east bank of Bear creek along the road lead- ing from Johnsonburg to Judge Samuel Lundy's." "Eli Willson married Elizabeth, daughter of Isaac and Ann (Large) Lundy. Eli's home was in the settlement on the road leading from Johnsonburg to Judge Samuel Lundy's. Eli's farm passed to his daughter Deborah, who had married Theodore F. Johnson; after Deborah's death the farm was bought by John Roe, thus passing out of the family." "Mahlon Willson. son of Samuel Willson HL and his wife. Deborah Collins, left the Quaker settlement in the year 1798 and bought land in GVeen township on its extreme edge toward Newton. His homestead was near the Big Spring and was west of Springdale on the road to Fredon ; and there, after Mahlon's day. dwelt his son Obed. and there now dwells Obed's son Obed." ORIGIN OF SURNAMES. 5 I "I must not omit to mention that there was a school near the Friends' grove ; it was in the field west of the meeting-house, up in the corner, and nearly opposite the end of the road coming from Greensville past George and Ruth Lundy's. Every trace of the building has disappeared, even its foundations. Among the teachers were Betty Willson, Clarissa Chedister, Mary Atkinson ; I am told that these persons taught there previously to 1832 and that the building even then was old. Times were so hard during the Civil War and so much money had to be raised that no repairs were made if it could possibly be avoided ; and thus the building got out of repair ; and at the close of the war, it was deemed wise to abandon the old school-house and erect a new one on the site of the meeting-house, which had not been used for worship by Friends for ten or twelve years." Origin of Surnames. Every family name had a beginning ; there was a time and a place and a reason for its first use ; and it may be of interest to specify here briefly a few of the ways in which surnames origi- nated. Many family names denote the trade or occupation of an ancestor ; thus if there were three men in the community, each bearing the baptismal name of John, they would, for the sake of distinction, be spoken of as John the miller, John the weaver, and John the mason ; and these descriptive terms would soon be shortened into John Miller. John Weaver, and John Mason. This is why we have so many Cooks and Bakers, so many Brewers and Shoemakers and Fishers and Hunters, so many Coopers, Carpenters, Painters, Sawyers, Turners, Potters, Skinners, Tanners, Thatchers, Taylors, Tylers, Smiths and \\'rights. There is a large group of names that indicate parentage. George, the son of William, was called George William's-son, which, by a natural change of stress, became George William- son. Enoch, the son of Richard, was in like manner called Enoch Richardson ; and in this way there were formed such names as Albertson, Anderson, Dixon, Edison, Morrison, Nel- son, Paterson, Thomson, Willson, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and Harrison. Nicknames were common in all ranks of society, and so it happened that many epithets which were originally bestowed on 52 ORIGIN OF SURNAMES. individuals to describe some personal peculiarity have hardened into surnames ; to this class are to be assigned Little, Small, Large, Long, Short, Stout, Young, Rich, Poor, Quick, Gay, Sage, Wise, Hardy, Moody, Stark, Broadhead, Armstrong, Cruikshank, and Longfellow. Variations in complexion and in the color of hair or clothing have furnished the names of Brown, Black, Reed, White and Gray. , Common nouns denoting locality have formed a very prolific source of surnames, having been added to the baptismal names of individuals. If there were three men by the Christian name of John, one living near the ford and one in the lane, and the third along the marsh, they would naturally l>e spoken of among their neighbors as John Ford, John Lane, and John Marsh. An examination of the ancient tax-lists of an English village fur- nishes numerous illustrations ; for the names of the tax-payers are recorded after this fashion : Willilmus de Grene, Adam atte Hall, Ricardus atte Brigg, Ricardus atte Well, Johnannes del Hill, Jacobus under Wood, and Eduardus atte Water. Among the names of this origin are Park, Glen, Mount, Brook, Bank, Street, Down, Dell, Dale, Ridge, Peak, Mead, Lee, and Moore. Carlisle, Kent, and Lincoln may be cited as examples of family names that have been derived directly from the proper names of towns and parishes ; and here, too, belongs the end- less list of family names ending in -ham and -ton, meaning home and town, such as Cunningham, Burnham, Dunham. Durham, Markham, Pelham, and Windham, and Benton, Exton, Newton, Milton, Walton, Stockton, Hamilton, and Washington. Among the surnames that indicate official position are Butler, Page, Chamberlain, Porter, Bowman, Archer, Knight. Squire, Judge, Earl, Duke, Lord, Prince, King. Queen, Priest, Abbot, Bishop, and Pope ; some of these terms denote the actual rank of an ancestor ; others sometimes merely indicated employment in the service of a person of the rank named ; sometimes they were nicknames, pure and simple, based on some fancied resem- blance in appearance or character; and sometimes they were reminiscences of the theatrical part played by an ancestor in the outdoor pageantries once so popular in England. Some households bear tbe names of animals, such as Swan, Drake. Crane, Heron, Rook, Partridge, Pigeon, Finch, Hawk. ORIGIN OF SURNAMES. 53 Jay, and other birds ; and also Fox, Wolf, Lyon, Hare, Beaver, Hart, Roe, Hind, and Bull. It is probable that some of these were bestowed in the first place as nicknames, and that others were derived from the emblems painted on tavern signs or on business signs suspended out of shop windows; for in those days very few persons were able to read, and hence it was neces- sary for business men to render their shops conspicuous by the display of pictured sign boards. The meaning of many names is concealed by the fact that they are derived from words once in common use but now obsolete; thus Tod meant a fox. Brock a badger. Pollard a cropped tree. Hatch a gate. Beck a brook, Foss a ditch, Shaw a thicket, Penn a hilltop, Worth a farm, Cobb, a harbor. Holmes a flat island, and Chase a hunting ground. Hunt is a shortened form of hunter ; Starr, of starling ; Gunn, of gunner; Ball, of Baldwin; Spark, of sparrow hawk; and Norton and Sutton, of north-town and south-town. Payne is a mutilated form of pagan ; Snooks, of seven-oaks ; Summer, of summoner ; Foster, of forester ; Senkler, of St. Clair ; Collins, of St. Nicholas ; Dennis, of St. Dionysius. Hughes is from Hugh; Mills from Miles; Randall from Ralph; and Davis from Davids. Borden means the den of boars, and Harden the den of hares. Ray, Rae and Wray are old forms of roe, a deer. Boone and Bunn are from the Latin word "bonus," meaning good. The Shoemakers made shoes ; the Websters wove ; the Wag- nors and the Wainwrights made wagons ; the Arkwrights made meal-chests ; the Playters made coats of mail ; and the Reeders gathered reeds and thatched houses. Diminutive suffixes are an element in some surnames. Elliot means little Ellis; Hewitt, little Hugh; Emmet, little Emma; Willet and Wilcox and Wilkins, little Will ; Robins, little Rob- ert; and Dickens, little Dick. The illustrations thus far presented have been selected from the English language; it will be readily understood that the same principles apply to the origin of surnames among nations using other languages. The directory of any large city will furnish numerous examples of the family names of the Welsh, the Irish, the Swedes, the Dutch, the Germans, the French, the Spaniards, the Italians, the Poles, and the Russians. Many of these foreign names have a meaning, but not to our English 54 ORIGIN OF SURNAMES. ears. Pettit and Grant and Fort arc of French origin, and mean little and grand and strong; Zimmerman is the German for carpenter ; and the descendants of an early Polish settler in New Jersey named Saberovveski now write their name Zabris- kie. Price and Bevan are contractions of the Welsh forms ap-Rice and ap-Evan, meaning son of Rice and son of Evan. In discussing the origin of surnames, it must be borne in mind that the same name as now pronounced and spelled may have sprung from several words radically distinct, and that each of these words may have been assigned for a different reason. This principle is well illustrated by the family name of Bell. Turning to the old records, we meet with "Walter le Bel" (that is, Walter the Fair), so called because of his beautiful complexion; and "Richard fil. Bell" (that is, Richard the son of Isabel), so named from his widowed mother ; and lastly, "John atte Bell," so designated because he dwelt at the Sign of the Bell. I will now speak concerning the Lundy surname. House- holds bearing this name existed at an early day in England, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, and France. This wide range of distribution makes it almost certain that they have descended from several dififerent ancestors ; and con- sequently it is possible for the word Lundy to have several dif- ferent meanings. In the old Norse language there was a word "lundi" which meant a puffin, a sea-bird that congregates in immense flocks on rocky coasts ; and it is said that the name was given to certain persons as a nickname. In England the word "lundy" was an adjective and meant "heavy, clumsy" ; it became a descriptive surname. The adjec- tive "lundy" is unknown in America, but it is still in use among the common people in several parts of England. Halliwell in his Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words defines it as "heavy, clumsy" ; and Addy in his Glossary of Words used in the Neighborhood of Sheffield explains it as "awkward, clumsy, heavy; also strong, muscular." I find the following illustra- tions of the meaning of the word in Notes and Queries (8th series, vol. X., page 272) : A stout elderly person unable to walk with ease, lacking nimbleness, is lundy ; a bulky article difficuh to carry (not because of its weight) is lundy; and a reckless rough foot-baller plays a lundy game. ORIGIN OF SURNAMES. 55 There is a third way in which the word Lundy in some in- stances may have become a surname. We call a grass-plat a lawn ; our ancestors called it a laund ; see Bardsley's English Surnames, page 122. Those who had their habitations on the greensward in the heart of the forest received the family names of Laund, Land, Lander, Lound, Lond, and Lund. Lundy may be a diminutive of Lund, and mean "little lawn." The village of Largo is in Scotland on an inlet of the Firth of Fourth ; and in the middle of a park near this village stand three straight sharp stones, several yards high, which are known as "The Standing Stanes of Lundie." Nothing is known concerning their origin or how they got the name of Lundie ; but they were probably erected in connection with the religious rites of a heathen race that disappeared ages ago. There is an island named Lundy in the entrance of Bristol channel, eleven or twelve miles off the coast of Devonshire. It is a lofty rampart of rocks ; it covers an area of 920 acres and contains fewer than 200 inhabitants. It has always been occu- pied as a nesting place by enormous numbers of puffins ; hence its name, for the Isle of Lundy means the Isle of Puffins. There is no evidence that any family by the name of Lundy ever had anything to do with the island. In a book written by Joseph Besse and published by him at London in 1753, entitled "Sufferings of the People Called Quakers," the family name of Laundy occurs several times. I do not venture to affirm that this is identical with Lundy ; but in view of the fact that great carelessness and irregularity in the spelling of proper names prevailed in England at that time, the similarity is suggestive. Besse says : Richard Laundy was fined i5 and had a horse worth £8 10 s. taken from him for refusing to take an oath at the Quarter Sessions. In 1668, Richard Laundy of Boldenhurst (and others) was imprisoned on an Exchequer Process. In 1668 Richard Laundy of Bolden- hurst was fined for being at a meeting at the house of Thomas Sutton in Little Saunton ; see Vol. I., pp. 6-8, in the Bedford- shire lists. On January 13, 1660, Richard Laundy, Jeremy Laundy, and many others were arrested and imprisoned for being at Friends' meeting and refusing to take the prescribed oath. Lewis Laundy and John Laundy are also mentioned ; see Vol. I., p. 242, in the Hertfordshire lists. PREFACE TO THE GENEALOGY. This genealogy is not limited to individuals bearing the Lundy name, but includes, so far as my researches have been successful, every person who has in his veins any of the blood of Richard Lundy the Emigrator, no matter what that person's surname now is and no matter through how many different surnames that person's Lundy relationship is derived. Memory is fickle and our children forget in a week facts of relationship and ancestry and migration which we would re- member forever, and the entries which we write on the blank pages in the family Bible are liable to loss and destruction in a dozen different ways; and therefore it is evident that the only safety for a family record is in printer's ink. The distribution of printed copies bids defiance to fire and other accidents, some copies being preserved among kinsmen who are widely dis- persed, and other copies being safely lodged in the fireproof alcoves of historical societies and public libraries. The page can still speak on after the voice has become silent. Items have been culled from every possible source, — from old letters, family Bibles, tombstones, mortgages, deeds for land, last wills and testaments, minutes of Friends' meetings, local histories, and colonial documents ; and 1 am glad to say that in almost every line of descent I have found some indi- viduals who were willing and able to furnish information ; I deeply appreciate their kindness. But all the problems of the Lundy kinship have not been solved ; there are lost lines and missing households still, a fact not to be wondered at when we consider the long interval of time since the birth of the first American-born Lundy, the loss of written records, and the frequent migrations to distant re- gions in search of new homes. I hope that many households, unknown now to me and therefore unrecorded here, may be traced out hereafter and listed properly within the circle of the Lundy kinship. The publication of this book will render future investigation much more effective by revealing to all inquirers the exact points at which further information is most needed. The compilation of this family history has been to me a work of pride and reverence and love and duty. WILLIAM CLINTON ARMSTRONG. Johnsonburg, Warren County, New Jersey.

On lo day of 8 mo., 1739, Richard Lundy III. married Ann Willson, born 5 day of 6 mo., 1720, died after 1778, daughter of Samuel and Hester (Over- ton) Willson and granddaughter of Robert and Ann Willson. Their marriage certificate is recorded on the fourth page of the Record of Marriages for the Hardwick and Randolph Monthly Meeting. I insert a copy of it, retaining the old style spelling and capitalization. Marri.\gk Certificate. Whereas Richard Lundy, jur., of Maiden Creek in the County of Philadelphia and Province of Pensylvania, and Anne Will- son, daughter of Sam'l Willson of the same place afsd, having declared their intentions of marriage with each other before several Monthly Meetings of the People called Quakers in the County afsd, according to the good order among them, whose Proceedings therein after a deliberate Consideration thereof and haveing consent of Parents and Relations concerned.

On the 27th day of 12th mo., 1745-6 (that is, February, 1746), Richard requested a certificate of membership for him- self and family from the Exeter Meeting; and on 12th day of 4th mo., 1746, he presented said certificate before the Bethle- hem Monthly Meeting in Hunterdon Co., N. J. He settled at the Great Meadows near Allamuchy, Warren Co., N. J. He was elected to represent the old township of Hardwick on the Board of Justices and Freeholders of Sussex county during 1754 and 55, and is designated on the early records as Richard Lundy, Jr. When the log-goal was built at the village now known as Johnsonburg, a dispute arose between the contractors and the county authorities as to the manner in which the work had been done ; so the Board of Freeholders appointed Richard to meet the workmen and adjust the matter. The Court of the General Sessions of the Peace appointed him to serve as one of the commissioners to divide the county into additional pre- cincts. On the account book of the Collector of Sussex county, I find these two entries made during the year 1755 : "To Richard Lundy, Jr., for Wolf's head £3." "To Richard Lundy, Jr., for killing three groan "Wolves & 6 whelps ii3 los." Items like these show that liberal bounties were paid for the destruction of these troublesome beasts of prey, and give us a glimpse of those early days, reminding us of the fact that Hard- wick township was at that time only a frontier settlement. Richard Lundy III. died November 17, 1756, and left ten 6o RICHARD LUNDY III. children, the eldest of whom was only sixteen years of age. It is certain that Anne his widow was living in 1778, for in that year her son Eliezer produced before the Falls Meeting, in writing, Anne's consent to his marriage ; and tradition says that Anne removed in 1784 to Virginia with her son John and made her home with him and died there at the age of one hundred and two years. The last Will and Testament of Richard Lundy the Third, dated November i, 1756, is recorded among WILLS, Liber 8, pages 475-476, in the Office of the Secretary of State, Trenton, N.J. Richard Lundy. His Will. £222 8s.

He was buried in the Hardwick yard in Warren county, N. J. He married Elizabeth . In 1785 his widow and chil- dren removed to Grayson (now Carroll) county, \'a. The names and birth-dates of all the children enumerated above and the death-dates of Eliezer and Azariah are taken from the fourth page of the Record of Births for the Hardwick and Mendham Monthly Meeting ; the other data have been gathered from various sources. Anne Lundy. jr., the sixth child, married with the approval of the Kingwood Monthly Meeting, Abraham Webster, possi- ANN WILLSON. 6;^ bly the son (born 12 of 9, 1743) of Joseph and EHzabeth Web- ster. Their first declaration of intentions to marry was made on 8 of 3, 1770. They had at least one child, Mary, who resided within the compass of the Hardwick M. M., and removed to Upper Canada some time previous to 1821 ; Mary had married a Mr. Tonkin as her second husband. Ebenezer Lundy applied to the Kingwood Meeting on 6 of 9, 1768. for a certificate of removal to the Wrightstown Meeting in Bucks county, Pa. At a Monthly Meeting held at Falls, Bucks county, on 8 of 10, 1777, Ebenezer was reported for hav- ing been engaged in military service so far as to be employed in making implements of war such as tents and other military atttire ; and the minutes further show that on being treated with he was so far from seeing his error that he rather endeavored to justify his conduct, and that a testimony against him was accordingly produced, read, approved and signed. Eliezer Lundy married Christianna Brown, daughter of Thomas Brown, with the approval of the Falls Meeting in Bucks county. Pa., on 18 day of 2 mo., 1778. Eliezer is desig- nated on the minutes as a son of Richard and as a brother of Ebenezer. Eliezer died in 7th mo., 1782. There is no record of any children. On the 8 of 10, .1777, Eliezer was charged be- fore the Falls Meeting with "being employed by his brother in making Tents, &c., for the army" ; he was present and offered a paper of acknowledgment for his misconduct which was read and received. On 15 day of 5 mo., 1793, Christianna Lundy (perhaps Eliezer's widow) married George Merrick of the Borough of Bristol. Bucks county, Pa. No further information concerning Anne, Ebenezer or Eliezer. The children of Richard Lundy IIL emigrated from Warren county, New Jersey, about the time of the Revolutionary War. So complete was the exodus that, so far as known, there is not a single person residing at the present time within the boundar- ies of the State of New Jersey that can trace his descent in either male or female line from Richard IIL The dispersal was to regions far remote.

OF NEW JERSEY; OF YORK CO., ONTARIO. Richard Lundy II. in his will dated 21 of 2 mo., 1772, gives six pounds to his grandson Samuel Lundy, Junior. The minutes of the Kingwood Monthly Meeting show that Samuel Lundy, Jr., and Sarah Webster declared their inten- tions of marriage on 8 of 3 mo., 1759. In the minutes of the same meeting, under date of 13 day 2 mo., 1794, it is stated that William Lundy and Samuel Lundy III. requested certifi- cates of membership to the Exeter Meeting at Maiden Creek, Berks Co., Pa. ; and it is also stated under date of 30 day 5 mo., in the same year, that Samuel Lundy II. requested a certificate of membership to the Exeter Meeting for himself and four minor children. The records of the Society of Friends at Millville, Pa., show that a certificate was presented to that Meeting on 10 day 7 mo., 1794. by Samuel Lundy from the records of the Kingwood Monthly Meeting held at Hardwick, Sussex Co., N. J., recommending the aforesaid Samuel Lundy with his four children, John, Ebenezer, Sarah, and Eleazer. The records of the Exeter Meeting make mention twice of a William Lundy, it is stated that William Lundy came in 1795 from Kingwood, Hunterdon Co., N. J. ; and it is also stated, under date of 22 day 5 mo., 1798, that a report was received from the Muncy Preparative Meeting that William Lundy had accomplished his marriage with one not a member. Turning again to the Kingwood minutes, we find that a Richard Lundy declared his intention of marriage on 8 day 11 mo.. 1787: and that on 12 day 11 mo., 1795, Richard Lundy requested a certificate of membership for himself and family to the Exeter Meeting. The statements above are gleaned from original sources and are indisputable as to the several particular facts; the state- ANN WILLSON, 65 nients concerning Samuel Lundy, here called "the second" and "junior," refer to the same individual. This Samuel Lundy settled in the township of Whitchurch, York Co., Ontario, and died in March, 1826. He had seven children; four of his' sons settled near him in Canada; namely, Richard. William, John, and Eleazer ; the three other children remained in the United States. After the death of Sarah, Samuel married Sarah, widow of James Willson and daughter of Peter Schmuck.

J., from Muncy, Lycoming County, Pa., a town near the west branch of the Susquehanna river, fourteen miles southeast of Williamsport. To distinguish this Samuel from other individ- uals of the same name, he was frequently spoken of as Muncy Samuel ; and at a later day, some persons, not knowing the cir- cumstances, used the appellation as a middle name and called him Samuel Muncy Lundy. Samuel of Muncy built a dwell- ing house along the Pequest river above the Friends' Meeting- house, and there he lived and died and was buried in Friends' yard. After the death of Samuel, Sarah accompanied her son- in-law Abner B. Laing to Waterloo, N. Y., and made her home with his family until her death. Eight children: I.

The late Mr. Lundy was born and spent most of his life in the house in w'hich he died and which was used as a hospital during the Battle of Lundy's Lane and as officers' quarters during 1814, his father's house having been burned by guerrillas in 1813. The original plot of the home- stead was granted by King George IIL January 6, 1796, thus having been in the unbroken possession of the family for more than a hundred years ; and the clock whose ticking marked his birth marked also his release from the weary hours of his suf- fering during which he was sustained by an unwavering Chris- tian faith. He was also of Revolutionary stock, his maternal grandfather having been Col. Shannon, a British officer, whose command was the last to surrender to American arms. He had entered upon his 77th year, having been born January, 1820. He had been a life-long Liberal, a justice of the peace for thirty- three years and had held many other public positions of trust. He was esteemed by all for his uprightness of character and kindness of heart ; and revered by those admitted to his friendship and home-circle. He leaves a sorrowing widow and a large grown-up family by wdiom he was dearly loved and by whom his memory will be held as their best possession. The funeral will take place from his late residence on Wednesday afternoon, February 12, at 2 o'clock, interment taking place at Drummond Hill Cemetery. battle op lundy s lane. During the summer of 18 14, the Americans formed a plan to capture and occupy the Niagara peninsula which includes the territory bounded by Lake Ontario, the Niagara River and the eastern end of Lake Erie. An army was assembled at Bufifalo under Gen. Jacob Brown. On July 3, 1814, Brown 76 BATTLE OF LUNDY's LANE. suddenly invaded Canada and compelled the surrender of Fort Erie before Sir Phineas Riall, the British commander, could come to its relief. During the military operations which fol- lowed, three spirited battles were fought on the Canadian side of the Niagara River; namely, the battle of Chippewa, the battle of Lundy's Lane, and the siege of Fort Erie. Each of these battles was an American victory ; but, curious to relate, the final outcome of the whole campaign was a complete failure for the Americans. The British were entrenched along the Chippewa River ; the Americans took a position behind Street's Creek ; between which two streams there stretched a large open meadow. On July 5th, there was constant picket-firing and skirmishing between the armies thus facing each other; at four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Riall marched out on the plain with his whole army drawn up in order of battle, attacking the brigade of volunteers, quickly put them to flight ; but Winfield Scott brought his regulars into action and compelled the British to retire to their encampment. The loss on each side was about 300 men. This is known as the battle of Chippewa. Riall retreated to Lake Ontario. Brown, anxious to lead his army along the lake shore and capture Toronto and Kingston, made his headquarters at Queenston and remained there three weeks waiting in vain for supplies and re-inforcements ; then, disappointed, he fell back to the Chippewa River. Riall, who had been re-in forced by troops brought from Toronto by Gen. Drummond, again advanced southward toward the American position, concealing his movements very carefully. Brown began to fear that there might be some truth in the rumor that the British were preparing to invade New York State ; and he therefore sent Scott with a strong force to reconnoiter and find out where the British army was. This led to the famous battle which was fought in Canada near Niagara Falls on July 25, 1814, and which by mere acci- dent has made the name of Lundy a familiar word in every English-speaking community throughout North America. Scott advanced northward along the Niagara River. Riall on the alert, quickly learned of Scott's advance and prepared to check it. He selected his position with great skill ; he did not place himself directly in front of the Americans, but stationed his army a short distance to the west of the road, on elevated BATTLE OF LUNDY S LANE, 77 ground, whence he would be able to pour down a destructive fire into the ranks of the Americans if they should be rash enough to continue their forward movement along the main road. On this eminence, the key of the position, Riall planted a battery of nine cannon, drew up his army round about it, and waited. Scott realized the situation at once ; it would be folly to advance along the main road ; either he must return to camp, or he must drive the British from that hilltop. He tried to carry the hill by storm, but was repulsed with severe loss ; this was about six o'clock in the afternoon. Major Jesup was sent to steal around to the rear of the British and he was so far suc- cessful as to capture some prisoners, including Riall himself. Brown arrived on the field with the main army just at dark; and a new plan was immediately arranged with the view to force the enemy to abandon his position. . Troops were selected for a storming column, and to them was assigned the duty of carrying the battery by a charge directly up the hill. An officer was wanted to head the line. The com- mander-in-chief summoned Major James Miller to his side and said, "Can you capture that battery?" Miller looked at the hill already sprinkled with the bodies of dead comrades and replied, "I'll try, sir." Fallling in line, they dashed straight up the hill in the face of the battery and captured it and held it, displaying a courage and gallantry that has never been surpassed in the annals of American warfare. The greater part of the American army was at once massed together on the hill. Three vigorous and determined attempts were made by the British to regain the battery, but without suc- cess ; and finally about midnight they retired from the contest. The Americans remained on the battle field a very brief time, and then in the darkness they, too, withdrew, so exhausted with the struggle that they were unable to take with them the cannon which they had captured and retained at such a fearful cost. The British re-occupied the blood-drenched hill and took possession of their lost cannon, unmolested. Each side had lost about 850 men, an exceptionally heavy loss in proportion to the number of men engaged. The opposing commanders were taken to Bufifalo, Brown having been severely wounded and Riall as a prisoner ; Scott also was wounded nigh unto death. Technically the victory rested with the Americans, for at the close of the fight they were the masters of the field ; but prac- 78 RICHARD LUXDY III. tically all the fruits of victory were secured by the British, for the resistance which they made was so courageous and so stub- born that the whole scheme of invasion had to be abandoned. This sharp and bloody conflict is known in history as the battle of Lundy's Lane, for the land thereabout was owned by a Quaker farmer named William Lundy, and the lane which led to his dwelling house branched otT at right angles from the main road and passed westward directly over the top of the hill on which the battle was fought. The Americans retreated in great haste to Fort Erie, where they were soon hemmed in by the British. General Drummond planned a surprise ; he led his army forward at midnight in three columns silently; but the Americans were under arms waiting for him. Assault after assault was made by the British soldiers with matchless courage and persistency, even gaining one of the bastions and holding it until daybreak. Although compelled at length to desist from the attack, they continued to press the siege with energy for several weeks until the Ameri- cans made a sudden sally out of the fort and destroyed their batteries. This sortie was the last battle of the campaign. The contending armies then separated; General Drummond relin- quished his attempt to capture the place and led his troops back to Chippewa; the Americans abandoned the fort and returned to New York State. Thus ended the invasion of Canada. THIRD BRANCH. AMOS LUNDY AND ANN COLLINS. OF WARREN CO., N. J.; OF GRAYSON' CO , VA. Amos Lundy (of Richard 111.. Richard II. I married Ann Collins.

Lundy and Sarah Davis, and a grandson of Richard Lundy IV. and Mary Stock- ton. He was born in 1823 near Fisher's Peak, Carroll county, Virginia ; and it was amid the romantic scenery of that weird region that he received his first impressions of human life and what it means. He became a dextrous hunter and an expert shot with the rifle; in middle life he could shoot offhand and hit a squirrel's head in the top of a tall tree. Many a deer run- ning at full speed has gone down at the crack of his gun ; once in a deer chase in his early life, he was accidentally shot and dangerously wounded by one of his companions. Without the aid of schools he acquired a good rudimentary education and taught school for several years. In the olden times when read- ing, writing and cyphering were the only branches taught in the common schools, Mr. Lundy was one of the teachers that could cypher through the rule of three and extract the cube root, in Pike's old arithmetic. In 1841 he married Lucy Payne, who lived and cheered his life for the next forty-nine years. William joined the Primitive Baptist Church at Crooked Creek on the i6th day of August, 1854, and on the next day was baptized in the clear and limpid waters of that wandering stream. He came up out of the water a preacher and preached his first sermon on the day of his baptism and was thenceforth to the day of his death an earnest, faithful and zealous preacher. g6 REV. WILLIAM LUNDY. When \^irginia in 1861 called for volunteers to repel the inva- sion of her territory by the Federal Government, Mr. Lundy volunteered and was made captain of Co. E in the 45th regi- ment of Virginia Infantry. Capt. Lundy participated in all the battles fought in western \'irginia during the campaigns of 1861-62; and under many a shower of leaden fire proved him- self to be a brave officer and gallant soldier. He was always kind and considerate toward his men and obedient to his super- iors in office. He never disobeyed but one order, and that was an order from his colonel to burn some wheat and other grain. He positively refused to obey this order, saying that he would not burn grain when so many women and children were suffer- ing for it. During the battle at Laurel Creek, West Virginia, Capt. Lundy stood where he was fully exposed to the enemy's fire ; and his tall and commanding form made him a target for their bullets. When urged to get behind a tree, he said, "Every shot they fire at me will miss my men." It is needless to say that wherever Capt. Lundy led the way. his men would follow him. Retiring from military service, he took up again more vigor- ously the sword of the spirit and preached the gospel to human creatures. As a parent, Mr. Lundy was all that a strong loving father could be ; as a neighbor and friend, he was always ready with heart and hand to do his whole duty and more too. As a public speaker, his language was remarkably direct and- vigor- ous ; when his mind was made up on any subject, he was sure to blurt it out in language that never betrayed his meaning. In talking with young people Mr. Lundy used to say : "When vou were children, you trampled on your parents' toes. Xow you are grown, you trample on their hearts. Remember that you are heavy and the heart is a tender organ, and let your steps be light when you tread there." He preached his first sermon at Crooked Creek Church in 1854: he preached his last sermon on the 7th day of January, 1900, at Piney Creek Church in Alleghany county, N. C. from the text : "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations ; and then shall the end come." Between the dates of these two sermons there rolls a period of more than forty-five years, during which he traveled and preached through seventeen States of the American Union. Indeed, his tours were so extensive that it would seem that REV. WILLIAM LUNDY. 97 there can be but few Primitive Baptists in the Southern States who have not heard him preach. In his long and extensive career as a minister of the gospel, he failed to fill only seven appointments, six of these failures occurred while he was pros- trated with sickness, and one while he was ice-bound. He would ford rivers and streams to meet his appointments, although those who were acquainted with the fords would beg him not to undertake it. He was ever an ardent and devoted student of the Scriptures ; they were to him the very bread of life. He studied and inter- preted Scripture by Scripture and never used commentaries, articles of faith or theological tenets as aids. He was Calvin- istic in his views, although he knew nothing of the writings of John Calvin. When his mind was fixed, he preached his doc- trines with great boldness and with much energy. His blows fell on sin and sinners with the force of a sledge hammer. When his mind was not clear, he would say : "I will leave that with the Almighty." His views were the honest productions of his earnest brain, heart and conscience, arrived at in the fear of God but in the fear of God alone. He lived and died with an unsubdued aversion to ministers who preached for stated salaries. In his early career, he did not own a horse to ride to his appointments. He would labor hard in the fields day in and day out to make bread for the wife and children he loved, but when the day came for him to preach, he would get up early in the morning and often walk fifteen to twenty miles to reach his appointment. On these preaching tours, he has left his wife too sick to reach up and clasp his hand as he bade her goodby, and his little children have often followed him past the door and begged papa to come back. But he said he felt the Master's hand upon him requiring him to preach and that he could leave his wife and children in the hands of an all-wise God to whom he prayed for their protection. He never allowed himself to become a charge on his church ; he preached to thousands upon thousands, but he never took up a collection. With the labor of his own hands, he supported his family and himself ; the voice that called him to preach never suggested pay. He died away from home on one of his preaching tours. The friends who heard Brother Lundy's last sermon say that he stood up straighter in the pulpit that day than usual ; that his (7) 98 Ki:\'. W 1 1. I.I AM I.UNDY. voice seemed clearer than usual, and that he was blessed that day with superior gifts in the way of delivery. He was thrown from his buggy as he went away from the church and much hurt ; he got into the buggy again and rode on to the house of a friend where he had started to go ; and on arriving, he said : "Do not let my children know I am hurt; they could do me no good ; and I do not think it will kill me." When he seemed to be getting better from his injuries, he was stricken with paraly- sis and soon died. His mind seemed clear to the last. When the faithful band of church meml^ers and friends who gathered around were speaking in whispers lest they should disturb the dying man, he aroused up and said : "All come right up here and sing me one more song." Then in response to the inquiry "What shall we sing, Brother Lundy?" he said: "Just sing glory, glory, that will do." They sang a few appropriate stanzas, to which he seemed to listen with great delight. When the song was fin- ished, he turned his head slightly upon his pillow and said : "Now I must cross that river," and soon sank into the dream- less sleep of the dead. His body was buried in the graveyard at Antioch, North Carolina; and notwithstanding the snows and storms of January, fully one thousand people gathered around the open grave to witness the last sad rite. Thus in peace and confidence ended the life of a hardy moun- taineer who had accepted for himself the gospel of Jesus of Nazareth and had preached it faithfully unto others, a typical instance of the power of the gospel story to touch and mould minds of strength and energy among the common people. ANN WILLSON. 99 SIXTH BRANCH. JOHN LUNDY 1. AND REBECCA SILVERTHORN. OF WAKREN COUNTY, N. J. ; OF GRAYSON CO., VA. John Liindy I. (of Richard III. ) was born 19 of 9 mo., 1751, in Sussex (now Warren) county, N. }., and died on his home- stead near Oldtown, Grayson county, Va., May 5, 183 1, at the age of eighty-two. His will is dated April 30, 183 1. Rebecca Silverthorn was born about 1753, and died December 24, 1839, at the age of eighty-two. The approximate date of the mar- riage of John and Rebecca, as given in the minutes of the Kingswood Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends, is 1 1 of 12 mo., 1777. Several children were born to them in New Jersey; on the 10 of 2 mo., 1785, John requested from the Kingwood M. M. a certificate of membership addressed to the Deep River Monthly Meeting in North Carolina. John settled in Grayson county, Virginia, and secured from the land-ofifice at Richmond a treasury-warrant for one hundred acres of land. The warrant was No. 7,339, and was dated August 15, 1787. He selected his land at once and built a cabin, and began to clear away the timber so as to have fields for crops, but he did not have his land surveyed until July 6, 1798 ; and ten years more elapsed before he completed his title by obtaining the final legal document called a patent. The patent is dated 1808, and is signed by William H. Cabell, Governor of Virginia. John seemed to have taken his time to it ; and it strikes us moderns as being an exceedingly leisurely way of acquiring title to real estate ; but the original warrant fortified by actual pos- session was doubtless all that the law required, a survey not being necessary until neighbors began to crowd in around him, and a patent not being necessary until a transfer of title to other parties was thought of. Fisher's Peak is a high knob on the Blue Ridge, part of it being in Virginia and part of it in North Carolina. A man named Fisher was the first to trim out a way across that part of the mountain range, and so the notch through which he made the path was named after him and called Fisher's Gap. This same man was one of the survevors that laid out the State line ; lOO RICHARD LUXDY ITT. and while ovcrlieatcd he drank too much cohl water from a sprinj^ whicli flows out of a rock near the top of the hill, and at this spring he died ; and that is the reason why the summit goes by his name and is called Fisher's Peak. Richard Lundy settled within two miles of Fisher's Peak ; his farm is now owned by Barnett Paine. Azariah also settled along the side of the I>lue Ridge ; his farm is now owned by Floyd Brannock. The old house went to ruin long, long ago, and its location is now indicated only by some old pieces of logs and some foundation stones. When Carroll county was organized and set ofif from Grayson, Azariah's place fell within the new county. The road leading from Fisher's Gap to Oldtown divides and sends ofif a branch or spur wdiich leads to the Little Old Iron W' orks. Here in the fork made by the main road and the spur John and Amos Lundy settled on adjoining farms. John built his cabin on a hill ; this made it unhandy to get water, every drop of wdiich had to be carried uphill from the spring, which was two hundred yards away. These old homesteads are two miles from the present post office of Meadow Creek, four miles from Oldtown, and six from Fisher's Gap. The land taken up by Amos is now owned by Greggs Kampton ; but John's home- stead is still in the Lundy name, being now occupied by his great-great-grandsons, Churchwell O. and Emmet W. Lundy. The only means those pioneers had to carry things was on their backs or on horses : and it was the hardest kind of work to carry things even that way : for the roads were narrow, rough, and steep, going straight up one ridge, over the hill-top. and straight down the other side, keeping in quite straight lines, much more so than now, when many of the roads have been changed and graded around the hills. Some of the old trails may be seen even at this day. leading up over hills, which have not been cleared. Some of the early settlers had a hard time to get started. With only a few fields cleared, when their crops failed or were destroyed, they would run short of things to eat.. In these times of want, they would follow close after the cows as they roamed through the woods, and whatever the cows would eat, they would gather for pottage, seeking thus to make their little stock of provisions last longer and to add variety to their monotonous bill of fare. ANN WILLSON, lOI Wolves were a great scourge. They would howl so nights that no one could sleep. Shooting at them as they skulked in the shadows did not stop their throats except for a little while ; for they would soon start at it again. The best way to keep them quiet was to build a large bonfire of brush and logs in the yard or garden or field near the house. Wolves are cowards and love a thicket ; and for this reason children when playing around the doorsteps were much safer when the house stood on high ground. The undergrowth was much thicker on the lowlands ; and the wolves were much more likely to attack a person down there ; for they could skulk through the dense brush and get close to him without exposing themselves to view, especially late or at night. And for this reason too, a wide space was kept cleared around the spring. The pigs and calves had to be put into strong pens every night. It was an incessant care to the settler to guard the two or three sheep which he had secured from a distance at much cost and trouble to have wool to spin. Wolves would prowl around and at nightfall would, sometimes become so bold as to make in pack fierce attacks on the sheep pen. Of course, they could not break into the pen, but they would cause the sheep to injure themselves through fright; so that through fear of this result the farmer would be compelled to bring his sheep into the house during the night, putting them into a large box by the chimney corner. These ferocious "var- mints" are now very scarce ; but every three or four years a small pack passes through. I have said that John Lundy perched his cabin high up on the hillside ; all the other pioneers did the same. This look.s somewhat foolish at this distance of time ; jbut they were wise in their day and generation. Death lurked along the water- courses. The meadows were undrained and leaves and other litter clogged up the streams. Fever and ague has ever been the dread of those who clear away the forests and break up the virgin soil ; and bitter experience everywhere taught the first settlers to look upon the damp air of the lowlands as a slow poison. Of course, they did not build their houses on the highest knobs which are mountainous and almost destitute of water, but on ridges of land somewhat elevated. John and Rebecca Lundy had two sons and six daughters. Aaron, the older son, married and settled on a farm half-way between his father's and Oldtown ; Amos, the younger son, 102 RICHAKI) l.UNUV 111. married and finally obtained the lioniestead ; Rachel, the youngest child, remained at home and took care of her father John in his old age. Rachel herself was blessed with a long life and a good memory, and she enjoyed telling the younger generation about her father and mother and the inconveniences and hardships which they had endured as early settlers. She is still remembered as walking around the dooryard with two canes ; and when the little sons of her nephews and nieces came to help her by doing small jobs, such as chopping wood, pulling weeds, gathering berries and apples, and carrying water, she would sit down by them after their work was done and tell them stories about the by-gone days, and would further show her appreciation of their kindness by giving them for keep- sakes various little articles that had once )belonged to their great grand parents. And it is needless to say that these relics, the quaint cup and saucer, the fancy buckle, the spectacle case, the old-fashioned buttons, the razor hone, and such like things, are now prized even more highly as the years go by.

Sylvester Lundy, of Axminster, England. 2. Richard Lundy 1. and Jane Lyon, of Bucks Co., Pa. 3. Richard Lundy ILand Elizabeth Large, of Warren Co., N.J. 4. Joseph Lundy and Susanna Hutton, of Warren Co., N. J. The line then divides into three branches : L Sarah Lundy and Joseph Carpenter. IT Enos Lundy, Sr.. and Rachel Carpenter. III. Hannah Lundv and Samuel Shotwell. Joseph Lundy, whose name stands at the beginning of this Group, was the son of Richard Lundy H. and Elizabeth Large. Joseph was born in Bucks county. Pa., 24 of 4 mo., 17 19. The first occurrence of his name is found on the minutes of the Exeter .Monthly .Meeting at Maiden Creek in Berks county, Ra. ; in which minutes it is stated that on 31 day of I mo., 1743, Joseph Lundy and Susanna Hutton were left at liberty to marry. Joseph and his wife Susanna requested on 30 day 3 mo., 1745, from the Exeter Meeting a certificate of membership addressed to the Bethlehem (afterward Kingwood. now Quakertown) Monthly Meeting in Hunterdon county, N. J.. SUSANNA HUTTON. 147 which certificate they presented at Bethlelieni of the 8 day of 5 mo. following. Joseph was a witness to the will of his hrother Richard III. in 1756. On the 14 day of g mo., 1758, a certain Joseph Lundy declared his intention to marry Sarah Willson of Hardwick township. In 1759. letters of administration were granted on the estate of a Joseph Lundy ; see Liber IX., page 392, among Wills, at Trenton, N. J. Since no descriptive term such as senior or junior is applied to either of the two Josephs last men- tioned, it seems natural to regard them as identical with Joseph the husband of Susanna Hutton. It is not known how many children Joseph and Susanna had ; definite information has been obtained in regard to only one of them, their son Enos. Tradition has handed down the name of a daughter Sarah ; this Sarah may have been the Sarah Lundy who with Joseph Carpenter made their first declaration of intention of marriage, before the Kingwood Monthly Meet- ing on 8 day of 9 mo., 1768. Among the witnesses to the marriage of Jesse Dennis and Ann Schooley on 18 of 10 mo.. 1781, at Newton. N. J., were Nancy Lundy and Hannah Lundy ; and among the witnesses to the marriage of George Lundy and Esther Willson at the Hardwick Meeting-house on 15 of 3 mo., 1780, was Catharine Lundy. The parentage and relationship of Nancy, Hannah, and Catharine have not been ascertained. There is no further record concerning Nancy and Catharine; Hannah in 1788 mar- mied Samuel Shotwell and settled in Sussex county, N. J. I venture to classify Nancy. Hannah and Catharine, provision- ally, as the children of Joseph Lundy. THE CHILDREN OF JOSEPH LUNDY AND SUSANNA HUTTON. I. William, of Newton township, Sussex county, N. J., assigned here inferentially ; m. Mary Webster. II. Sarah, assigned here by tradition ; m. Joseph Carpenter. HI. Enos, Sr.. b. 31st day of ist mo., 1749, in New Jersey: d. on 28th day of 3rd mo., 1832, at Whitchurch. York county, Ontario; m. Rachel Carpenter. IV. Hannah, assigned here doubtfully ; m. Samuel Shotwell. 148 JOSEPH LUNDY. V. Nancy, possibly ; no further record. VI. Catherine, possibly ; no further record. William Lundy, on April 13, 1769, obtained from the civil g-overnment a license to marry Mary Webster ; the bond given at that time by him in order to obtain the license is recorded at Trenton, N. J., in volume L, Licenses of Marriage, years 1764- 1794. Asa Schooley was William's bondm.an ; and all th,_ persons are described as of Newton, Sussex county, N. J. No further record. It may be of interest to insert here a copy of the marriage license anciently required by law in the province of New Jersey. Know all men by these Presents that we William Lundy and Asa Schooley, both of Newtown in the County of Sussex & Province of New Jersey, are holden and do stand justly indebted unto his Excellency Wm. Franklin, Esq., Governor and Commander in Chief in & over ye province afsd in the Sum of Five Hundred Pounds of current lawful money of New Jersey to be paid to his said Excellency Wm Franklin, Esq.. his successors or assigns, for which Payment well, and truly to be made and done, w^e do bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, and every of them, jointly and severally, firmly by these Presents; sealed with our seals, dated this thir- teenth Dav of April Annoque Domini One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty Nine. The Condition of this Obligation is such. That Whereas the above-bounden William Lundy hath obtained License of Mar- riage for himself of the one Party and for Mary Webster of Newtown afsd of the other Party : Now, if it shall not here- after appear that they the said William Lundy and Mary Web- ster have any lawful Let or Impediment of Precontract, Affinity, or Consanguinity, to hinder their being joined in the Holy P.ands of Matrimony and afterwards their living together as Man and Wife : then this Obligation to be void or else stand and remain in full Force and Virtue.

In 1785, Enos Lundy, Sr., produced to the Exeter Monthly Meeting, Berks county, Pa., a certificate of membership from the Kingwood Monthly Meeting in Hunterdon county, N. J. ; and in 1789 a certificate of membership came from the same place for his wife and children. A portion of the Exeter Meet- ing was set off and organized as the Millville Meeting; Enos and his family were assigned to the new Meeting. Enos served on a committee in Friends' Society at Millville, Pa., in 1796. On 22 day of 12 mo., 1798, his daughters Elizabeth and Sus- anna requested to become members of the Millville Meeting; and at the same time Enos requested that his son Isaac and his daughter Ruth (minors) become members. In the spring of 150 JOSEPH LUNDY. 1805, Enos and his family emigrated to Canada, and settled in York county, Ontario, two miles or less from the village of Newmarket, on the lot of land afterwards owned by his son Isaac ; it being lot No. 26 in the second concession of the town- ship of Whitchurch ; and there Enos and Rachel lived until they were laid to rest in Friends' yard on Yonge Street.

Pa., on February 3, 1823; he was a son of John and Mercy Lundy and a grand- son of Ephraim and Elizabeth Lundy. He began his classical studies at the Danville Academy, entered Princeton College and graduated in 1846. Among his classmates were David A. Depue and Bennet Van Sickel, Judges of the Supreme Court of New Jersey. He entered the Princeton Theological Semi- nary and, completing his course there, was ordained a Presby- terian minister on February 13, 1849. He was installed as pastor of a congregation of that faith at Sing Sing, N. Y., and was there two years. Having joined the Protestant Episcopal Church, and having been ordained deacon at St. Paul's Church by Bishop Upfold on October 25, 1854, he served for a year as minister-in-charge of Briar Cliff" Chapel, and as chaplain of Sing Sing prison. On October 28, 1855, he was ordained a priest by Bishop Alonzo Potter at All Saints', Philadelphia, and at once became rector of that Church. In 1857, he accepted the rectorship of Emanuel Church at Holmesburg, Pa., where he remained several years. During this period he traveled abroad and visited Europe, Egypt, Palestine and Syria. His next rectorship was that of Christ Church, Read- ing, Pa. In 1869 he was elected rector of the Church of the Holy Apostles, New York City, where he remained until 1875, 246 JOHN PATTERSON LUNDY. wlien lie resigned on account of failing health and was com- pelled to give up the active work of the ministry. Although endowed by nature with a strong physical constitution, he had impaired his health by overwork. After his resignation he never held a rectorship, although during a vacancy at St. .Mark's and at St. Stephen's in the city of Philadelphia he was minister-in-charge of each of these important parishes for about a year. Such is the brief record of his professional hfe, but it does not describe his work as an author. Many of the articles written by Dr. Lundy were printed in the magazines of the day; others were published in pamphlet form and attained a wide circulation owing to the circumstances under whicli they were issued. 1 will mention two of these : the one shows his position and sympathies on the questions of slavery and seces- sion, those volcanoes once burning but now happily extinct ; the other relates to the subject of forestry and was published in the interest of the Pennsylvania Forestry Association of which he was President. The Rev. John Hopkins, Bishop of Vermont, wrote a pam- phlet on the "Bible View of Slavery," maintaining that the relationship of master and slave was not a sin per se and con- demning the ultra-abolitionism of the day ; this he sent to some gentlemen in Philadelphia, and it was printed and distributed in the fall of 1863 by a political committee as a campaign doc- ument. An indignant protest was at once drawn up and signed by the clergy of Pennsylvania. Dr. Lundy not only signed the protest, but he did more ; he wrote a reply, vigorous, masterly, and at times almost virulent, which was published under the title of a "Review of Bishop Hopkins' Bible \'iew of Slavery, by a Presbyter of the Church in Philadelphia." It proved to be a timely and efifective article, even though it did fail to con- vince the good Bishop. Dr. Lundy was one of the first persons in the Lnited States to call attention to the science of forestry and to the importance of making forest culture and preservation a practical study here in America. He was one of the founders of the Pennsyl- vania Forestry Association. During the latter part of his life, he labored in season and out of season to arouse public interest on this subject ; for his own views had been intensified by what he had seen in other countries once renowned for their fertility, JOHN PATTERSON LtJNDY. 24^ but now Sterilized by the destruction of their forests. In 1880, ne prnited for his friends "A Sl.ra Walton ; no issue. \'III. Asenath, b. 2 mo. 2"], 1808; d. 8 mo. 16, 1809. IX.

Cragin and died without issue. § A. BENJAMIN LUNDY AND ESTHER LEWIS. Of Ohio ; of Maryland ; of lUinois.

He was born in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, on 13 of 12 month, 1727, and lived there during the first ten years of his life; then he removed with his parents to Maiden Creek, Berks county, in the same province and lived there ten years. In 1747, Samuel came with his parents and settled per- manently at the great meadows in Warren County, New Jersey. He departed this life the 14 day of 2 month, 1801, at the age of seventy-four, and was buried in Friends' yard at the Hard- wick Meeting-house. Samuel was married twice. His first wife was Ann Schooley, daughter of Samuel and Avis (HoUoway) Schooley, granddaughter of Thomas and Sarah (Parker) Schooley, and great granddaughter of Robert Schooley. Ann was born 29 day of 6th month (August), 1728, and departed this life the 22nd day of the 3rd month, 1758, and was decently buried the 24th of the same, in Friends' burying ground at Hardwick. Samuel and Ann made their first declaration of intention to marry before the Kingwood Monthly Meeting on 12 day, 7 mo., 1 75 1, and were married on 8 day of 9 month following. They had three sons, Isaac, Daniel, and George. After the death of Ann, Samuel married on 20th day of nth month, 1765, Sarah Willets, daughter of Joseph Willets. Sarah died 13 day of 2 month, 1824, and was buried at Hardwick. Samuel and Sarah made their first declaration of intention of mar- riage before the Kingwood Monthly Meeting on loth day of loth month, 1765, and were married on 20th day of nth month following. They had three sons and five daughters, Ann, Levi, Edith, Samuel II., Achsah, Jesse, Sarah, and Amy. Each of these eleven children grew to maturity, married and has descendants now living. In 1765 there was a great scarcity of bread-stuflf throughout the northern part of the province ; and the people had eaten up all their seed grain so that they had none for future sowing and were in danger of starving, and were actually suffering from sickness caused by living too exclusively on a diet of meat. The legislature came to their relief and voted to loan money to the sufferers so that they could buy food and seed. Samuel Lundy I. was appointed a member of the committee to supervise the ANN SCHOOLEY. 267 loaning of these provincial funds, a task requiring- delicate tact and judgment. Samuel was the sole executor of the Last Will and Testa- ment of his father, Richard Lundy II., and by the terms thereof inherited all the real estate which his father then held (1772), a large farm having been deeded in 1768 to Jacob. On September 20, 1759, the Board of Justices and Free- holders in and for the County of Sussex held a meeting at the house of the widow VVolverton in Newton township and elected Samuel Lundy to be County Collector, an office to which he was frequently re-elected, serving the County of Sussex in that capacity for thirteen years, 1759-64 and 1767-76. It will be observed that his services as treasurer of the county ceased in 1776; his retirement from the office became necessary because the financial strength of the community was soon to be devoted to warlike purposes, a policy contrary to the principles of the Society of Friends. Fie was a member of the Township Com- mittee for two years, 1774 and 1775 ; and he represented Hard- wick township on the Board of Justices and Freeholders for seven years, 1765- 1772. Samuel Lundy was appointed a Judge of the Pleas for Sus- sex county in 1772. Previous to the Revolutionary War, the legislative power of the province of New Jersey was vested in a Governor, a Council and an Assembly. I quote from the minutes of a Council held at Perth Amboy on Thursday the 17th of September, 1772, his Excellency, William Franklin, being at that time Governor of the province: "His Excellency was pleased to nominate Jacob Starn and Samuel Lundy to be Judges of the Pleas in the County of Sussex, and Jacob Lundy. Abia Brown, Robert Allison, Abraham Van Camp, and Richard Bowlby to be Justices of the Peace in said county ; to which the Council assented." See New Jersey Archives, Vol. XVI 1 1., page 294. For the purpose of ready identification among the several individuals in that community each bearing the name of Samuel Lundy, it is sometimes convenient to designate the Samuel Lundy whose name is at the head of this Group as Judge Samuel Lundy. Judge Lundy built on his homestead a substantial stone dwelling-house, which is still used as a residence, a frame addi- 268 SAMUEL LUNDY 1. tion having since been built at the end ; one of tlie stones in the chimney bears the inscription "Aug., 1780." Tlie marriage certificate of Samuel Lundy and his first wife, Ann Schooley, is entered on page 8 of the Record of Marriages for Hardwick Monthly Meeting. Whereas Samuel Lundy of the Township of Hardwick in the County of Morris and in the Western Division of the Province of New Jersey and Anne Schooley, daughter of Samuel Schooley of the same place, Haveing declared their Intentions of marriage with each other before several Monthly Meetings of the People called Quakers at Kingwood in the County of Hunterdon & province afsd, according to the good Order used among them whose Proceedings therein after a deliberate con- sideration thereof and having consent of parents and Relations concerned, Nothing appearing to Obstruct, were approved of by the sd Meeting. Now these are to ccrtifie all whome it may Concern that for the full accomplishment of their sd intentions, this Thirtyeth day of the Eighth Month one Thousand seven Hundred & Fifty one, They the said Samuel Lundy and Anne Schooley appeared in a publick Meeting of the said people in the Town- ship of Hardwick afsd And the sd Samuel Lundy Taking the said Anne Schooley by the hand did in a solemn manner openly declare that he Took her to be his Wife Promising Thro Divine assistance to be a Loveing and Faithfull Husband until Death should seperate them, And then and there said Anne Schooley did in like manner declare that she Took him the sd Samuel Lundy to be her Husband Promising Thro Devine Assistance to be a Loveing and b^aithfull Wife until Death should seperate them. And moreover the sd Samuel Lundy and Anne Schooley (She according to the custom of Marriage assuming the Name of her Husband) as a further Confirmation thereof did then and there to these ['resents set their hands, and we whose Names are here under Sul)scril)ed at the solemnization of the sd Marriage and Subscription in manner afsd, as Witnesses thereunto have also to these presents set our Hands the Day and Year First above written.

By deed dated March 6, 1784, George Lundy, yeoman, of Hardwick, obtained seventy acres of land from Nathaniel Pierson and his wife Ann, the consideration therefor being one hundred and thirty pounds lawful money in hand paid, and said land lying in Hardwick and being butted by lands belonging to Samuel Lundy, Charles Coxe and others. By deed dated November 5, 1787, George Lundy obtained from James Kinsey of Burlington county, N. J., 130 acres of Proprietary Rights, land that had never been located. The consideration was £15 12s. This transaction is a good illustra- tion of the method of securing real estate in colonial times. The instrument shows that John Hind had obtained on August 4, 1773, from the West Jersey Proprietors a land warrant for 40,000 acres of land unlocated ; and that James Kinsey had purchased from Hind's estate a right to 200 acres of this land "to be laid forth and surveyed anywhere in the Western Division of New Jersey not before legally located." Kinsey now subdivides his warrant, retaining 70 and selling the remaining 130 acres. George Lundy, as soon as he received his deed for the 130 acres of Proprietary Right, selected that amount of land in Hardwick adjoining that which he already owned, called in an authorized surveyor to stake it and map it out for him, and completed his title by going to the land-office at Burlington and filing papers given to him by the surveyor. On January i, 1794, George Lundy, farmer, of Hardwick, obtained by deed from Thomas Lundy, mason, of the same place, in consideration of £55, thirty-eight and one-quarter acres of land, abutting land already owned by George Lundy. 202 SAMUEL LUNDY I. § A.

Esther Lundy (of George. Samuel, Richard II.) married, about 1812, William Gibbs, who died in April, 1847. at the age of 67 years, son of John and Nancy (Swayze) Gibbs. Five children: I. Edith Lundy, d. September 2^. 1834, aged 21 years. 10 months. 7 days. II. Morris Sharp, d. .August 17. 1838, aged 24 years, 2 months, 11 days. HI. Cynthia, d.

Cynthia was the only one of these who married and left a family. After the death of Esther, William married Sarah Dixon, and about 1829 removed to Corydon. Warren county, Pa. He was a Justice of the f\^ace for many years. When William left New Jersey, his daughter Edith remained at her grandfather George Lundy's. where she died about five years afterward. George Lundy Gibbs went to Ohio with his uncle Jonathan Lundy, studied medicine, and settled at New Albany, Indiana, where he practised his profession. He never married. During the war, he attended the families of soldiers without charge ; he was very decided and outspoken in support of the Union, and a plot was made to assassinate him, but one of the con- spirators cautioned him not to take his usual route, and so the attempt failed. He visited his kinsmen in New Jersey; and, alluding to his excellent health and splendid physique, he remarked that he considered himself good for a hundred years. But he died suddenly soou after his return to Indiana. The following extract is from a letter headed "Corydon, Pa.. November 6, 1831," and written by William Gibbs to Samuel Laing of Johnsonburg, N. J. : "I live on the Alleghany river where the State of New York and of Pennsylvania crosses said river. I am getting on in years and cannot stand portage. My family is well. They started the 6 of July in the evening, and landed at Bufifalo the 15th and at home the i6th. I wish there could be some way for me to get Edith here. I should have sent for her when I sent for the others, but I thought she had one year to stay with her grandmother. If you or any safe person should come near this place, I will pay the expense if you will bring her here. The best way to get here is to take the canal and come to Bufifalo, thence to Portland, and by land 8 miles to Mayville, then by water to Jamestown, then by land 25 miles to this place. I live 4 or 5 miles from the Pounds, that is, Thomas, Daniel, and Jonathan." Cynthia Gibbs m. in 1834, Benjamin Tome, b. April 5, 1809; d. Janaury 7. 1870, son of Philip and Mary (Yaunts) Tome.

A natural desire on the part of parents that their chil- dren should be able to read and write would lead to a confer- ence among the neighbors ; the services of some member of one of the families would be available, a grown up daughter perhaps or a maiden aunt ; a vacant room would be secured con- venient for the children, and a school opened. Little tots would gather there in fall and spring, but would give way in part during winter to learners of a larger size. A home-school of this kind could l)e readily shifted from one part of the neighborhood to another, according to the ever-varying cir- cumstances of the different households. Sometimes abandoned dwellings or empty tenement-houses w^ould be used tempor- arily for school purposes. When special buildings were put up, it w-as generally done by the united work of several of the lead- ing families, the natural result of this being that those who built the school-house could control it. choosing between rival teachers or closing it up altogether. This system, or rather lack <^f systeiu. was perhaps the best possible for those days ; but in the course of time reformers arose and agitated for better schools with this result that in January. 1838, the State legislature passed an act wdiich author- ized the formation of local boards to manage school aiTairs, and tri^ WILLIAM CLINTON AR^ISTRONG.

ANN SCHOOLEY. 295 directed the appointment of examiners to license teachers, and empowered townships to raise school-money by taxation. An old school-house which stood between Levi Lundy's and Jonathan Willson's appears to have been the first building in that neighborhood devoted exclusively to school purposes. Here taught John Armstrong (not of kin to Nathan Arm- strong the pioneer) and Mr. Phipps, and also Daniel Vliet, who married Permelia Lundy. It was abandoned in 1838; and school was opened in the new building which had been erected at the upper corner of the road on the property of David Lundy. David Lundy and Sally, his wife, by deed dated August 13, 1838, donated to the first trustees of the Union District of the townships of Hardwick and Independence a lot whereon to build a school-house "exclusively for the only proper use and purpose of schooling and educating children." This was the Southtown school which for the next twenty years was the best school in that section of the country. The teachers were far above the average in ability and ambition, nearly every one of them having enjoyed unusual educational advantages ; some were studying law, and others were prepar- ing for the ministry. They were able to teach advanced sub- jects and were anxious to do it; and thus they attracted and retained in school a large class of young men and women. The drill in reading was especially thorough ; English grammar including analysis and parsing received much attention and was studied by all the larger pupils. There were classes in rhetoric, physiology, chemistry, botany, and astronomy. The names of these school-masters were Mr. Decatur, Albert Waterman, who was the son of a sea captain, and pleased the children by showing them shells and other curios from the Indian ocean, Mr. Burnham, Salmon Fay, who was slightly lame, but very much liked, Mr. Norris, Jonathan Cotton, who married a Warbasse, Samuel Stevenson, who had been edu- cated at a Friends' High School in Pennsylvania, and who was modest and retiring and in every respect a first-class teacher, Elam M. Smith, who was a son of David Smith of Lafayette, N. J., and Jesse Berry of New York State, who was an excel- lent teacher, but who was fond of changing schools, and taught off and on between the going and coming of other teachers. Three Gaylord brothers also taught here ; of these Wilberforce, 296 SAMUEL LUNDY I. who was somewhat of an ovdUtr, came first ; lie was tonuwed 1)\- Jackson and then by Edson, a }ounger brother, who had the school in 1851-2. Then came Ira K. Willson and Elder J. S. Alaxwell, the Christian minister. Decatur and the four who followed him, and also the Gaylord brothers, were from New England, from the same neighborhood in which luhan Allen was born. The text-books were Cobb's Speller, Daboll's Arithmetic, Kirkham's Grammar, Olney's Geography, the Juvenile Readers, the National Preceptor, Newman's Rhetoric, and Calvin Cutter's Physiology. Anatomy and Hygiene. The Philosophy, the Botany and the (leology were by Comstock ; the text-book in astronomy was Burritt's Geography of the Heavens, the constellations being traced by the aid of an excel- lent star-atlas. Books were bought b}- the trustees and loaned to the scholars free of charge, some of the patrons not being able to purchase books in the advanced subjects which their children were able and anxious to studw William W. Wilson was County Super- intendent ; and when he visited Southtown in the forenoon. there would be no school in the afternoon, tor the teacher would go along with him to inspect other schools ; and Jesse i;erry used to tell with pride how the Superintendent turned to him once and said: "How I wish we had some of your scholars here to read for them." Berry was a Whig; Moses Hazen, who lived near by was a Democrat ; both were very well informed on the political issues of the day ; and they would sit in the shade on the rocks near the scIkxjI and argue by the hour. There was a debating society for men, which held regular meetings in the school- house at night ; political questions were discussed freely, and sometimes the room would be filled to overflowing with people who had come some distance, either to take part or to listen. It was Edson Gaylord who encouraged the pupils to make flower-gardens on the play-ground. All the narrow strips of soil along the ledges were carefully utilized. The teacher supervised operations so as to secure the proper general effect, and he helped sliifl the larger rocks so as to make the terraces more regular, while tlie children carried stones and built fences. It was a hard task and a long one, but they all worked with a will, morning, noon and night, and thought it was fun. The ANN SCHOOLEY. 297 soil was marked out into beds and a definite portion was assigned to each pupil to plant and cultivate according to his pleasure. Seeds and bull:)s and roots were brought from home, the selection of each having formed a topic of long and ani- mated discussion. While Edson Gaylord was teaching at Southtown, there was a total eclipse of the sun. He explained in detail to all the children the cause of the eclipse, using diagrams on the black- board to show the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth. He had the children come to school for several days a half hour earlier than usual so as to gain time ; and then during the after- noon of the eclipse no lessons were heard, but all the pupils remained on the playground watching the eclipse through the smoked glasses which they had prepared and brought from home. Some of the children were afraid, and certainly it was a sight to inspire awe ;• for as the eclipse became total, the trees cast gloomy shadow^s, the stars came out. and the hens went to roost in the little barn near by. The frequent repetition of the names Lundy and Willson in these memoranda adds point to the story told about the Scotch- Irishman who came there an entire stranger and, finding that no school was being taught at the time, applied for the use of the building, and then according to the custom of those days, started through the settlement to get the parents to put their names on his subscription list, pledging payment for so many days' attendance at school on the part of their children. He got subscribers fast enough, for children were numerous and very healthy ; but he was surprised at the lack of variety in the family names, and so at the next house, when the father made his appearance, the Irishman said to him, "Sir, is your name Willson or Lundy? I never saw such a place. It is Lundy and Willson, and Willson and Lundy all the time. You are a very mixed multitude." The Quaker Settlement was a station on the Underground Railroad. Slaves fleeing from bondage would pass through Philadelphia to Burlington, N. J. ; and then traveling north- ward by way of Quakertown or Plainfield would reach the Quaker Settlement. Here they obtained rest and food, and were concealed in barns and cellars. Witnesses to these scenes are still living ; they remember hearing voices of prayer 29^ SAMUEL LUNDY I. a black mother start like a wild bird as she sat behind the stove feeding her two children when she heard a horse and carriage driven up to the door. These fugitives came in the night and went away in the night; one morning they would be there, and a morning or two after they would be gone; they were always carefully directed to the next station and sometimes taken a part of the way concealed in the bottom of a wagon. The next station in their long flight to Canada was among the families of some Friends who lived on the drowned lands in the valley of the Wallkill river, Sussex county, near the New York State line. § F.

BENJAMIN LUNDY, THE FOUNDER OF AMERICAN ABOLITIONISM. J paper b\ ll'illiaiit Clinton Armstrong, read October 21, iSgj, before the Historical Club, Rutgers College, New Jersey. Mr. President, Lx\dies and Gentlemen : American history is wide in its range of topics and abundant in its material ; yet amid this variety and richness, the student need not be confused if he keeps steadily in mind the two vital issues that unify our history: the formation and preserva- tion of the Union, and the growth and abolition of Slavery. It is a safe rule to regard those events in our history as the most important which have exerted the most direct influence on the one or the other of these great issues. The great movements of history, not its episodes, should be the central topics of study. But historical movements as they sweep onward become complex and difficult to analyze, and hence it is the part of wisdom to study the beginnings of great movements. "Know- est thou not," asks the broad-browed Plato in his immortal Republic, "knowest thou not that the chiefest part of every work is its beginning?" True, and therefore it is eminently wise for the student of history to emphasize the beginnings and to investigate them thoroughly, going back often to the ori- ginal motives and first actors in .any great reform. Bearing these admonitions in mind, I have chosen for the subject of my paper this evening, Benjamin Lundy, the Founder of American Abolitionism, a theme that relates direct- 1; to the slavery conflict and takes us back to the days when the advocates of human freedom were a feeble folk. After the close of the Revolutionary war anti-slavery views were quite popular in this country, but activity along that line .'ioon ceased. This early anti-slavery sentiment seems to have been a mere corollary to the discussion that had raged concern- ing the rights of man. as set forth in the Declaration of Inde- pendence. It never called forth much self-sacrifice but it did lead to the extinction of slaverv in. the Northern States. 350 RKXJAMIX HTNDV Slavery discussion previous to the War of i- of these wretched beings come down the road from the mountain gorge and pass through the streets on their way to the slave pens by the river to await transporta- tion. The gloomy fate of those held in bondage touched the heart of Benjamin Lundy : and his whole being revolted against the iniquitous traffic in human flesh and against the legalized system of human slavery. Benjamin left Wheeling in 1812 and returned to Mt. Pleas- ant, Ohio, where he secured employment at his trade. Here he had a friend, William Lewis, and William Lewis had a sister Esther, and Esther-J^.ewis was a fine girl, in Benjamin's opinion a very fine girl. Two years passed and then Benjamin came east on a visit to his father who was now living in Burlington county, N. J. He stayed during the summer and fall and this long visit enables us to have a good view of the young saddler. He was slender, and slightly under middle size, with light com- plexion, blue eyes and wavy hair. He was cheerful, unassum- ing and studious. A younger sister remembered him as always having a book in his hand. Returning to Mt. Pleasant he was married by Friends' cere- mony. 2 mo. 13. 1815. to Esther, daughter of Henry and Susan Lewis. He bought a lot at St. Clairsville. Ohio, eleven miles west of Wheeling, built thereon a dwelling-house and a shojx and started in business for himself. Harness-making was a good trade in a communit}- w^herc every spring brought a swarm of new settlers and every settler cleared up a new farm. The demand for saddlery was brisk ; so he enlarged his shop and secured two ai>prentice bo}s. He paid ofif his debts and 354 BENJAMIN LUNDY found he was worth three thousand dollars. His sales still in- creasing he secured more apprentice boys and also employed some journeymen. A competence was within his grasp ; a few years more and he would be beyond the reach of want. We have seen how Benjamin Lundy had his mind and heart aroused against slavery ; we will now trace the steps by which he became actively engaged in anti-slavery work. Lundy's convictions were strong and deep ; and his feelings of pity for the slave were so keen as to fill his soul with an- guish ; but so far as can be learned, no act of his life previous to the completion of his twenty-fifth year (1815) had ever been prompted or even influenced in the slightest degree by his views on the subject of slavery. But this was to change quickly. He began housekeeping, as I have said, in the spring of 1815, at St. Clairsville. As soon as he was fairly settled in a home of his own, he invited some of his new neighbors to come to his house on the evening of a certain day. Five or six persons came at the appointed time. To them he unbosomed his feelings. Finding sympathetic hearers, he proposed a public meeting for further agitation. His plan was approved, a date fixed and the public invited. At this second meeting, which was also held at Lundy's house, an anti-slavery association was formed called the Union Humane Society. It grew rapidly and soon enrolled five hundred members. From this local success Lundy conceived the idea of organizing a number of such societies, and to this end he w^rote an address to the philanthropists of the United States. He made five or six copies with his owm hand and circulated them through the neighborhood. That autumn a yearly meet- ing of the Society of Friends was held at Mt. Pleasant. Lundy attended the meeting and distributed some more manuscript copies of his appeal. Some of the Friends who thus received copies, on returning to their respective homes, organized similar associations and. in making a report thereof to Lundy urged him to print his appeal for general distribution. Lundy complied with their suggestion and published his "Address" on his birthday, Jan- uary 4, i8t6. Horace Greeley in his American Conflict, speaks of this circular of Lundy's and says that it contained the germ of the whole anti-slaverv movement. THE PHILANTHROPIST. 355 Lundy begins his appeal with a skillful allusion to the tri- umphant suppression of the African slave trade, and then drives home the thought that the seeds of the evil system had already been planted in our soil, that these seeds were springing up and producing increase, and that the mere closing of our harbors to the importation of new slaves from Africa did not touch the root of the evil. He urges renewed effort and proposes the fol- lowing lines of action : 1. That societies should be formed wherever a sufficient number of persons could be induced to join in them. 2. That a title should be adopted common to all the societies. 3. That they should all have a uniform constitution, "vary- ing only on account of necessity arising from location." 4. That a correspondence should be kept up between the so- cieties to promote their common purpose ; and 5. That delegates should be chosen to meet in general con- vention for the transaction of any important business that might arise. He closes his circular with these solemn words of consecra- tion : "T have had this subject long in contemplation, and- 1 have now taken it up, fully determined for one never to lay it down while I breathe or until the end shall be attained." A local newspaper. The Philanthropist, had recently been established at Mt. Pleasant, and the proprietor, Charles Os- borne, opened the columns of his paper for the discussion of slavery. Lundy saw here an opportunity to aid the anti-slavery cause. He selected articles wherever he could find them and had them published in the Philanthropist. As soon as he gained confidence in the tone of the paper, he began to canvass his neighborhood for subscribers. Whenever the editor opened Lundy's letters he found therein anti-slavery clippings and the names of some new subscribers and a few lines written by Lundy himself; all these were duly appreciated, for Lundy's comments began to appear among the editorial paragraphs. It was not long before Lundy received an invitation to assist in editing the paper. He was surprised ; and mistrusting his own ability, he hesitated. The invitation being repeated, he consented to try. and soon his articles appeared regularly on the editorial page. He still plied his saddler's tools and talked harness to his customers ; but his mind was ten miles away in the office of the Philanthropist. He was next invited to become 356 PEN J AM IN LUNDY a partner in the printing business and to come to Mt. Pleasant and take charge of the office. He decided to accept the offer, and proceeded at once to close out the harness-business. He discharged his journeymen : and thinking that the best market would be on the western frontier, he took a load of finished articles to Missouri to sell and was gone six months. When he reached home, he took all the rest of his stock and put it in a boat and started down the Ohio river, his apprentice boys ply- ing their trade in the boat while he steered. In going up the Mississippi river against the current, the boys had to lay aside their aprons and pull at the oars. On reaching St. Louis he was unable to dispose of his merchandise, for a financial depression had swept over the country. Unwill- ing to sacrifice his property, he rented a couple of rooms, boarded himself and his boys and opened a harness store. It was an unfortunate venture; business stagnation grew worse and worse. He stayed one year hoping in vain for better times and then sold out at a heavy loss. But it had been a year of excitement and intellectual activity for Lundy. Missouri was knocking at the door for admission to the Union ; and the great fight was on as to whether she should come in free or slave. Lundy spent every spare moment he had in exposing the evils of slavery in numerous original articles which he con- tributed to the newspapers of Missouri and Illinois. Saddened by defeat, and after a year's absence Lundy started for home. 600 miles away, afoot in the winter time. For a year and a half Lundy had directed all his business affairs with the idea of becoming the editor of the Philanthro- pist and of making it the medium of his attack on slavery; but during his absence the newspaper had changed hands, and now the door is closed against him and he cannot speak his views freely through its columns even as a correspondent. Lundy rose to the occasion grandly. He decided to establish a periodical of his own and to do it at once, and he did. He wrote a prospectus and had it printed and circulated it. He obtained six subscribers; and on the strength of this he prepared his material and in January. 1821. he issued No. i of Volume I. of The Genius of Unirersal Em- aiieipation. This is believed to have been the first newspaper in America, perhaps in the world, devoted exclusively or even mainly to THE Pttrl.ANTHROPIST. 357 abolitionism. It was a diminutive publication. It was 9^ inches long and 5^ inches wide, with two columns of printed matter on the page. Lundy had moved his family from St. Clairsville to Mt. Pleasant, and here the first number of the Genius was printed for him at the office of the Philanthropist; but the next seven numbers were printed for him at Steubenville, a town twenty miles away. Every month Lundy walked to that village for his papers and carried them home on his back. It was impossible for this condition of affairs to continue long. But the Genius of U)iiz'ersal Euiancipation was to live. There came a change. Only eight numbers were published in Ohio ; the next numbers were to be published in Tennessee. An anti-slavery paper called the Emancipator had been established by Elihu Embree at Jonesborough in Eastern Ten- nessee. Embree died in a few months and his friends did not know how to dispose of the office and its equipments. Hearing of Lundy's struggle to found an anti-slavery paper, they wrote to him inviting him to come and see the establish- ment with a view^ to purchase. Lundy went to Jonesborough, a journey of eight hundred miles, and examined the printer's outfit. Here was an opportunity to secure for his young periodical a permanent home where under one roof he could write his editorials and do all his own work in composition and printing. He rented the establishment, brought his family to Jonesbor- ough and dwelt there nearly three years. Without ever having served an hour's apprenticeship, he took his place at the composing desk; heretofore he had been only editor and proprietor, now he becomes also typesetter and printer. Here thirty-five numbers of the Genius, 9 to 43, were published. It was impossible to treat eft'ectively of the evils of the slave system in the midst of which he was living without stirring up at times considerable bad blood. On one occasion two slave- holders endeavored to force him to retrace certain statements he had made in the Genius. They invited him into a private room and then set upon him with clubs. He suffered but he would not yield and was finally released by outsiders who heard the disturbance. While in Tennessee he made one trip to Philadelphia, travel- 358 BENJAMIN LUNDY ing in all nearly 1,200 miles on horseback in the winter time, to aitcnd the American Convention for the Abolition of Slavery. His was the only anti-slavery paper in the United States; and during this visit to the East, he decided to remove his paper to some city on the Atlantic seaboard, hoping thereby to extend the sphere of its influence. On returning to Tennessee he made arrangements at once to transfer the Genius to the city of Bal- timore. Having disposed of his printing office in the summer of 1824, he bids farewell to his wife and children and starts afoot for Jjaltimore. But he does not take the direct route. He visits kinsmen in southwestern X'irginia and in North Carolina. This journey of Lundy's is memorable as witnessing the in- auguration of a new form of anti-slavery work ; 1 refer to the system of public lectures. It was at the Deep River Meeting House in Guilford county, North Carolina, in the summer of 1824, that Benjamin Lundy gave the first public lecture ever delivered in America in favor of the abolition of slavery. The meeting house is near West- minster post office and about four miles north of Jamestown. I quote from Lundy's reminiscences : 'T shall never forget the incidents of that meeting. It was held by the side of a fine spring in a beautiful shady grove near the Friends' Meeting House at Deep Creek, after the meeting for worship had closed. The audience signified their approbation by appointing another meeting for me to be held in the meeting house on a subsequent day. The second meeting having been publicly advertised was attended by many persons besides members of the Society of Friends, and before its adjournment an anti-slavery or abol- ition society was organized." Lundy was overjoyed at his success and devoted himsef to his new work with enthusiasm, seeking every possible oppor- tunity to obtain an audience. Was there a house to be raised? Benjamin always felt moved to attend that gathering, and those who assembled al- ways had an opportunity to hear his anti-slavery lecture. Was there a muster of tht lOcal militia on training day? Benjamin was sure to appoint an abolition meeting for the same time and place ; and in one instance it so happened that the captain of the militia company was elected president of the newly-formed abolition society, with a Quaker as secretary. THE PHILANTHROPIST. 359 Among Lundy's converts on this journey was an intelligent and energetic young man by the name of William Swain, who conceived a strong friendship for Lundy, followed him to Bal- tmiore and learned the printer's trade in Lundy's office, work- ing for six months on the Genius. it was characteristic of Lundy's mission that so many of his converts did not merely say, " Yea, Lord," but took up the work themselves and became active propagandists. Swain afterwards returned to North Carolina and settled at Green- boro, where he published a newspaper called The Patriot, in which he openly and boldly wrote against slavery. Another of his converts was David Patterson, of Orange county, N. C, who owned eleven slaves and wished to emanci- pate them ; but the law did not allow slaves to be set free unless they were removed at once from the state. Lundy promised to make arrangements for transporting the slaves to the island of Hayti. He held about twenty meetings in North Carolina and suc- ceeded in organizing a dozen abolition societies ; then he turned northward through \'irginia, holding meetings and establishing societies as he traveled until he reached the city of Baltimore. And here it may be well to remark that the discourses delivered by Lundy on these occasions were ultra-orthodox in anti-slavery sentiment. He argued openly and boldly for the emancipation of every slave, founding his appeals on the prin- ciples of Christian humanity and of civil liberty as based on eternal justice. During the next five years and a half Lundy delivered anti- slavery lectures before more than two hundred public meetings. To show the extent to which this lecture system was afterwards developed by the abolitionists, I may state that in 1836 the American Anti-Slavery Society maintained thirteen lecturing agents constantly in the field on salary. On reaching Baltimore Lundy lost no time in getting to work. He had no office and a very slender purse . Moreover, his reception even by the professed friends of emancipation in the city was very cool and distant. Vague expressions of hope for his success were the only encouragement he received. Evi- dently the idea of having the mouthpiece of abolitionism located at their very doors did not arouse much enthusiasm. Lundy secured employment by the day in a printing estal?- 360 BENJAMIN LUNDY lishnient as type-setter, hul all his spare moments he devoted to Ins own editorial work, and when his manuscript was ready he liHik il Uj his emplo)cr and hired him lu print the hrst JJalti- niure numher of the Genius, pacing him in his own com. This was C cuius Xo. 44, dated October, 1824; and in it Lundy commenced a series of articles on emigration to ilayti, explaining its advantages and setting forth the terms offered by the Ha}tian government. These were followed by another series of articles on the do- mestic slave-trade in which Lund} brought out with consider- able detail the cruel features of liie coast-wise trade in slaves, .i'.altimore was the headquarters for the purchase and collection of negroes and their shipment by boat to South Carolina and Georgia. General LaFa\ette, while traveling through the United States, saw at Baltimore a copy of The C cuius uf Universal EnuDicipatwn and expressed a wish to see the editor. Lundy having been sent for, General LaFayette "encouraged him to go on and expressed his regret at finding so many slaves still in the country." We have seen that he had been instrumental in sending to Hayti the slaves of David Patterson. In March, 1825, he opened at Baltimore a Haytian Office of Emigration, and was active in assisting negroes to go to Hayti ; a work in which he was aided by Richard Allen, a negro Bishop of the Methodist Church. Among the shipments from Lundy 's office was a colony of 88 slaves, valued at $30,000, wdio had been emancipa- ted by their owner, David Minge, of Charles City, \'a. Increased support enabled Lundy in ( )ctober, 1825, to change the Genius from a monthly to a weekl\-. The relative advantages of Liberia and Hayti were being dis- cussed in the public press and Lundy w^as anxious to ascertain by personal observation the condition of alYairs in Hayti and also to make definite arrangements with parties living there as tc the settlement of any negroes whom he might thereafter send. So he sailed for that island in the fall of 1825. and was gone five or six months. The Philanthropic Society of Hayti olTered favorable induce- ments and agreed to advance money for the cost of passage. But each negro was to repay the Society by working on a plan- tation for a certain length of time after his arrival; and after THE PHILANTHROPIST. 3^1 ihe expiration of this apprenticeship every negro man who had a family was to receive fifteen acres of land. ( )n the (lav hcfore Liindy sailed for home, a vessel arrived which brought him the sad tidings of his wife's death, leaving two infants less than a week old. "I returned," said Lundy, "to Baltimore with a heavy heart. On our arrival our vessel was ordered to perform quarantine, and the persons on board were forbidden to land until the next day." "1 persuaded the captain, however, to go on shore with me at night that I might see my little orphan children. We rowed a small boat several miles to the shore. I hastened to my dwell- ing, but found it deserted. All was lone and dreary within its walls. I roused some of my neighbors, but they could tell me nothing about my children. '"I returned with the captain before daylight to the vessel and the next day obtained legal permission to land. On further in- quiry. I found that my little ones were scattered among ni}- friends. 1 collected my children together, placed them with friends in whom I could confide and renewed my vow to devote my energies to the cause of the slave until the nation should be effectually roused in his behalf. "I relinquished every prospect of the future enjoyment of an earthly home until that object should be accomplished." Lundy resumed his work on the Genius, which was now a weekly. He published a second series of articles on Haytian emigration ; and in a few weeks he sent to the island under his arrangement with the Philanthropic Society, a colony of eman- cipated slaves, Ii6 in number. Those early abolitionists drew the moral line pretty straight when it came to questions of indirect complicity with the guilt of slave-holding. They refused to hire slaves from their masters ; they refused to give out contracts to those who would employ slave-labor in their performance of said contracts; and some refused even to employ for wages those slaves who hired themselves from their masters for the purpose of accumulating a fund to buy their freedom. They refused, moreover, to purchase any article chat had been produced by slave-labor, endeavoring thus to discounten- ance the use of the fruit of the unrequited toil of the si i\ e. Some of their conclusions were, perhaps, too finel\- drav, n U) 362 BENJAMIN LUNDY be appreciated by the general public; one good purpose, how- ever, was secured, — the abolitionist kept his own conscience pure and untouched by the hated sin; and it gave him, too, an additional method of manifesting his personal hostility to the national iniquity. Lundy opened a free-produce store in Baltimore There were at this time only two others in the United States ; one at Phil- adelphia and one at Wilmington, Delaware In these stores every article offered for sale must be entirely the product of free labor. The coffee, the spices ,the tropical fruits, the rice, the sugar and molasses must all be undetiled by the touch of a slave. Cotton fabrics were the hardest to obtain ; but at last a Rhode Island manufacturer agreed to supply such articles and held himself ready to prove that his raw material had been raised entirely by free labor. There was in Baltimore a slave-trader by the name of Austin Woolfolk, notorious for the heartless brutality with which he carried on his wretched business. He sent a gang of twenty- nine slaves on a boat to Georgia. When at sea the slaves rose for their liberty, murdered the captain and mate, reached New York city and escaped, — all except one who was caught and hung. When led to the place of execution, the condemned negro, according to the custom of those days, was allowed to make some remarks expressing his penitence. W'oolfolk, who was present, interrupted the unfortunate man with oaths and abusive language and would not desist until compelled to do so by the indignant spectators. An account of this disgusting spectacle was published in the New York Christian Inquirer; and reprinted by Lundy in the Genius. Soon after this, Woolfolk met Lundy near the post-office in Baltimore, caught him by the throat, threw him upon the pave- ment, choked him until he was nearly unconscious, and then stamped on his head and face with the heel of his boot. Wool- folk was arrested and tried for assault and battery. The jury found Woolfolk guilty; and the judge, in whose discretion the penalty was, sentenced him to pay a fine of one dollar. The judge said from the bench that Lundy got nothing more than he deserved, and he took the copy of the Genius containing the objectionable article and sent it to the grand jury charging them to indict Lundy for libel, which they refused to do. (Jn May i, 1828, Lundy started from Baltimore on a trip THE PHILANTHROPIST. 3^3 through the Middle and New England States. His object was to secure subscribers for the Genius and to arouse a more gen- eral interest in the cause of emancipation by a series of public lectures. The journey was performed almost entirely on foot, with the exception of a short sea- voyage. I will first indicate his line of travel and then describe some of the incidents of the tour. He passed through Philadelphia, through Burlington and Rancocas, N. J.; Westchester and New Rochelle, N. Y. ; Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Brooklyn and Norwich, Conn. ; Newport and Providence, R. I. ; New Bedford and Nantucket, Mass., whence he sailed for Portland, Me. Turning- southward he passed through Portsmouth, N. H., and New- buryport, Andover, Salem, and Lynn to Boston. He visited Charleston and Brighton. He passed westward through Wor- cester, Leicester, Springfield and Northampton in Mass. From Albany he crossed New York State by way of Lockport to Niagara Falls and returned through Utica to Albany and Poughkeepsie, and then south to Baltimore. He reached home on October 25, having been absent six months lacking six days, and having held forty-three public meetings, generally in town halls, court houses, college build- ings or churches. At Philadelphia he found a Free Produce Store, but it had only a few customers ; so he called a public meeting to encour- age the use of free-labor products, the first meeting of this kind ever held in the United States. I will quote a few passages from his journal. "June II. I had a good-sized meeting at Norwich, Conn., but it was only attended by men. The people here are all too politic and will do nothing for our cause." "June 16. Attended Friends' Yearly Meeting at Newport, R. L, and on the 20th held at that place my twelfth anti-slavery lecture. It was attended by few, and they were all men. Sec- tarianism nearly closed up my way here, I being but a moder- ate Quaker." , "Aug. I. I am making arrangements for a meeting in Bos- ton, which are .embarrassed by there being too many other meetings, as negroes are, everywhere and always, the last to be thought of or noticed." "Aug. 20. Saw this morning a cotton factory at New Ro- 364 BENJAMIN LUNDY clullc. near wliich were fifteen or twenty boys from eight to fourteen years of age, all at play, hopping and jumping. They went to work at the ringing of the factory bell. This is the way the Yankees get rich : — no idlers out of the cradle." "Aug. 22. 1 walked from Leicester to Springfield, a dis- tance of 45 miles, being the greatest walk I have accomplished in a single day." "On the 25th 1 arrived at Northampton, after 9 o'clock in the evening, and called at three taverns before I could get lodgings or polite treatment." "Sept. 6. At Alban}- 1 made some acquaintances. Philan- thropists are the slowest creatures breathing. They think forty times before they act." I have reserved one incident of his visit to Boston on this trip to relate more at large. On reaching Boston Lundy had made diligent incjuiry for abolitionists, desiring to fellowship with them and to plan with them for active work ; but, strange as it may seem, he did not find a single abolitionist in the metropolis of Xew England. He had to begin his work single- handed and alone. i cannot forego rementioning the fact that Lundy, wdiose footsteps we are now following as he blazes a path for freedom over the Puritan hills, was a native and a citizen of the Middle States. He went to Boston as the setter forth of a new doctrine ; and, like Paul at Athens, he began his disputation with devout per- sons. He invited the ministers of the various denominations to a conference in the i)arlor of his boarding-house. Eight appeared, and he gave them an informal talk. Some of the boarders being in the room were involuntary listeners. Among them was William Lloyd Garrison. Lundy was the editor of the Genius of Universal Entaneipation. the first abolition jour- nal in the world; (iarrison was the editor of the Xational Phil- ciiifhrof'ist. the first total abstinence newspaper in the w-orld. It was not at all picturesque, this accidental meeting in a second-class boarding-house of Lundy and Garrison, the deaf Quaker and the near-sighted Baptist ; but it had in it elements of a deeper and more permanent influence for the uplifting of mankind than many a historical scene that has been pencilled into fame by the skill of artists. -In Garrison's heart Lundy's words fell as seed in good THE PHir-ANTHROPIST. 365 soil. Toward the close of this private conference when the subject of emancipation was npvn for general discussion, Ciar- rison came across the room and took part in the conversation, expressing- openly his approbation of Lundy's doctrine. Gar- rison was aroused ; and, as he pondered on the matter, there dawned on his mind the justice, greatness and holiness of this new reform. Garrison w^as Lundy's convert. He had at this first meeting cheered Lundy's heart by his words ; he soon placed himself on record by contributing an article on the subject to one of the daily papers. Little need to speak of Garrison and his Liberator. The history of abolition- ism shows us two firebrands ; one was Garrison, the other was John Brown. "In the course of a few days afterwards," says Lundy, "we had a public meeting, which was attended by most of the eight clergymen, together with a large audience. After I had finish- ed my lecture several clergymen addressed the meeting. They concurred in my views, except one of them who said something a little like opposition. I forthwith challenged him to a public debate on the spot, wdiich he declined." Lundy hurried home by way of Niagara Falls to attend the meetings of the American Convention for the Abolition of Slaverv. Its sessions covered a period of four days, November 3-6, 1828. November lo, 1828. Lundy has been at home two weeks and two days. November 11. He is ofif on his travels again, this time for Vermont, his second trip to New England. He starts early and afoot. I have here the original memoranda of Benjamin Lundy's journey to Bennington, Vermont; it is in the rough, being written on coarse yellow paper ; but about old documents there is always a certain flavor that T like. It is evident that some person had sketched on this pa])er a map of the country west of Baltimore through which Lundv intended to pass, indicating the dwelling-houses, vil- lages, streams and roads ; and below the map this friend had given some directions. Here vou see the map itself and the directions written below it. 366 RF.NJAMIN LUNDY Oju^ HKGION WEST OF RALTIMORE, MARYLAND.

It was now o\'er tliree \ears since lie had been there and man}- changes had taken place on the island. He took with him a small colony of emancipated slaves and obtained for them, on easy terms for a period of nine years, leases of rich land already cleared. On his return he announced that he had completed arrangements whereby any negroes wdio might wish to get to Hayti could obtain leases of plantations w'ith ])uildings on them for seven years, the first two years free of charge and the remaining five at a moderate rent. In the Genius for Se{)tember, 1829, Lundy announces that Garrison had come to Baltimore and was now his associate in ihe editorshi]). The ])aper assumed at once a strong political cast, o])posing Jackson and favoring Clay: Lundy felt that way, but the expression of such views in the Genius was large- ly the work of Garrison. There was a falling away of sub- scribers; the reason for this was that the question of emanci- I'ation was beginning to get mixed u]) with sectarianism and politics. "We are resolved," wrote Lundy in the Genius, "to have nothing to do with sectarian or party disputation, in our public proceeding, unless the question of slavery should appear to be involved in it: yet we are grieved to sec . in mtmerous instances, old and faithful labourers in that sacred cause, aban- doning it, simpl\- because others are actively engaged in ])ro- moting it. with whom they differ in some religious or political tenet "Now this is a (le])lorable state of things. Tt is like a ci-.il war ill a iiiilitar\ camp, when a dangerous enemy is forcing the gates. It is lilce a famil\ (unrrel in which the inmates tf a house are engaged, while it is burning over their heads." A vessel owned by ATr. Todd, of Newburyport. Mass.. came to Baltimore and took on a cargo of slaves to be sold in New- Orleans, r^iarrison denounced this transaction, branded it a.': THE PHILANTHROPIST. 369 an act of domestic piracy, and declared that he would cover all the perpetrators with thick infamy. Garrison was arrested for libel, tried and convicted, fined fifty dollars and costs, and thrown in prison. Lundy, who had been absent on a lecture tour, returned to Baltimore and then hurried to New York City to obtain money to release Garrison ; but on returning to Baltimore, Lundy himself as co-editor, was arrested and im- prisoned for a few days. The partnership between Lundy and Garrison was dissolved on March 5, 1830, having lasted just six months. In resuming entire control of the paper, Lundy announced that the Genius "wull hereafter treat exclusively upon the sub- ject of emancipation." Reformers have their dark hours: and Lundy's were very many and very dark. The income from subscriptions was so pitifully small that he was compelled to reduce the Genius to a monthl}'. Lundy himself was driven from Baltimore by the malignant spirit of tyranny. He removed the Genius to Wash- ington, and made that city the nominal ofiice of publication. There was a greater necessity than ever for Lundy to travel and collect dues and secure new subscribers ; so he would en- gage the services of some friend of the cause to manage the Genius during the time he expected to be absent. After his departure two or three numbers of the paper would appear and then the temporary editor would suspend publication for lack of funds. Learning of this, Lundy would himself preparf^ manuscript on the road, and have the next number printed at whatever town he happened to be. He never had any trouble to secure the use of a local printing press, it generally stand- ing idle several days a week ; as to type it was different, so he found it best to carry with him a quantity of his own. There were two circumstances that threw additional difficul- ties in Lundy's way: the establishment of the Liberator in Massachusetts and Nat Turner's insurrection in Virginia. Garrison started an abolition paper of his own at Boston of a very radical type, called the Liberator. Lundy welcomed the Liber-ator kindly: but nevertheless it was a financial rival. On the first Sunday of August, 1831, an insurrection of slaves broke out in Southampton county. Virginia. Nat Tur- ner, a negro preacher and slave, murdered his master, and then with fiftv followers rushed on from plantation to plantation 370 ' BENJAMIN LUNDY killing men. women and ehildren, sixty-tliree victims in all ; but they were s(X)n overtaken and captured, and most of them put to death. This outbreak was fatal to the abolition societies of the South ; they collapsed like bubbles ; and this in turn was a hard blow to the Genius, many of whose subscribers resided in that section. I will read a note of comfort received b)- Lundy during this trying period from Whittier. the poet of abolitionism. Dear Friend : By favor of our mutual friend, J. Well, I drop thee a line to let thee know I have not ff)rgotten thee and that it was with no small degree of pleasure that I rec'd the last number of The Genius. At this time when some of our early friends are turning aside after other objects, I rejoice to know that the "pioneer editor" of abolitionism is still resolved to keep his eye single to the great object — the emancipation of the slave. Our Yearly Meeting is just over — the subject of slavery had a weighty and deep consideration. It was said to be like one of our Yearly Meetings when Jacob Lindley and Warner Mififlin were moved to speak out for the bondman. Farewell. May God bless and preserve thee. Ever and truly thy friend, Jno. G. Whittier. January, 1832. Lundy is of? on his travels again, this time to Canada. Now why to Canada^ The black population of Canada consisted of a few slaves im- ported directly from Africa ; of some runaway slaves from the Southern States ; and of many free negroes from the Northern States, who had left their homes through fear of being kid- napped and sold South, or who had fled panic-stricken at the enactment of laws requiring them to file freedom-papers, which they did not possess. As early as 1803. Ohio had passed a law forbidding negroes to settle in the State unless they filed in a public office their cer- tificate of freedom ; this was known as the "black law." In 1828 this old law was dug up, and the attempt to enforce it caused a sudden exodus of several thousand negroes to Canada. The negroes of Canada did not live scattered here and there all over the country ; but they had gathered themselves into col- THE PHILANTHROPIST. 371 onies. They would locate in a forest along some lonely wood- road and put up cabins and form a community by themselves. Some of these communities included five or six hundred indi- viduals. What was the condition of these settlements? and what ad- vantages did Canada offer as an asylum for emancipated slaves? Lundy wished to base his opinion on facts gathered from personal observation ; and so he made a journey through. Canada in January, 1832. He visited the Wilberforce colony consisting of about thirty families on the Au-Sable river, twelve miles west of London ; it was a new settlement and had been the rendezvous of 2.000 refugees who had soon passed on seek- ing homes in other parts. The permanent settlers were sober, industrious and thrifty, and maintained two churches and two schools. He considered Canada an excellent place for the settlement of negroes who had lived north of the 34th parallel ; but the soil and climate were not suited to the cultivation of cane, rice and cotton, — the great crops raised by negro labor. One afternoon while he was traveling on foot through a thin- 1} populated section of Canada, he came to a stream with a strong deep current, the footlog over which was partly dis- lodged. He walked part way across on the log and then step- ped to the trunk of a fallen tree ; but the tree turned and threw him into the water. He nearly perished ; he climbed out and walked on, but soon sank down exhausted and became so cold that he had to crawl a long distance on his hands and knees through the snow to the next hut. Almost all the anti-slavery men admitted sorrowfully that slavery was profitable to the master. Lundy held to the con- trary, he believed that slavery was unprofitable, that it was a poor policy financially for a community. He believed that the planters of the South would clear more money every year if they would set their slaves free and hire them as free laborers. Talking with the planters, he asked them, How much net profit do you get oft' of a field-slave in a year? and they said. Each slave clears us about $100 a year. Lundy said. Emanci- pate them and you will clear more; and their reply was. You prove that and we will emancipate them. Many said, also, that the negroes were incapable of existing as a law-abiding body of free laborers. This was asserted so 372 BENJAMIN LUNDY emphatically and repeated so often that it became a great obstacle in the \va\ of emancipation. Lnndy believed that the one thing- needful for the furilu-r advancement of the aboli- tion cause was a demonstration to the world that the negro was capable of self-government and could prosper as a free laborer. Remember that Lundy never dreanie>vk Sulpliur Springs in Adams county, one lunidred niik-s west of I 'hila(k'l])hia. I'hilad-a. 5th mo. 29, 1831. L>i-:ak Sister, — I expected to receive a letter from thee, before now. I will, however, excuse thee for thy neglect; for, judging from the past, 1 fear 1 shall often stand in need of similar favors. Well, I have engaged our friend. Amos Gilbert, to assist in the editorial management of the ii cuius, while 1 i)erform my great tour ; and he is now in Washington, and 1 am on my jour- ney. But, as I shall take such a zig-zag, round-about course, I expect to be in \Vashington again before I get far awa}' from home. I have it in prospect to visit some parts of the State of Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland, immmediately. After leaving Washington again, (i:)robably in 4 or 5 months from this date) I shall shape my course pretty directly to your part of the country. I shall not go far away until I see what kind of a home my dear sister has. I have just beeti to see sister Phebe. She has a tine daughter, and has named it "Lydia S." I am in hopes William has provided a snug home for his family. leather, mother, I)el)orah and Mary are now to the eastward. 1 have not .seen any (^f the family, at home, since thee left them : but I expect to visit them in a week or two. Several of them attended the Y. ^Meeting, as I did also myself. I then saw thy letter to H. Townsend ; (and when at brother W'm's, Phebe .showed me the one thee sent her) ; from which T gather that thee did not fancy our slave system in the South' Thee told some prett}- tough stories about us ! Well, dear sister, I do not know but that T will let Susan go and li\e with thee a few months, this summer and fall, if it will still be agreeable to both J(X'l and thyself. The woman, that she first went to, has (|nit the business on account of ill- health : and she has since been a short time with another. I'.ut the latter demands terms that I am not disposed to comply with. Some in(|uiry has l)een made for a situation here; and she can be accommodated in tlu' fall. I have talked with Sarah Mar- shall of Philadelphia: -he will take Susan in the fall; and 1 think it would be a good ])lace. Should no other opportunity ol¥er. she ma\ pa\- thee a visit, if thee can give her some em- ployment. She must not (go where she may) contract habits THE PHILANTHROPIST. 383 of idleness. Please write me at Washington as soon as this comes to hand, and inform me whether thee is still willing to have her with thee a few months. If thy letter reaches Wash- ington before my return, it will be opened by A. Gilbert and shewn to her. I am glad to learn that thee is pleased wnth thv new home and new connexion. And, my dear sister, I truly hope and trust that thee will long enjoy the happy satisfaction of a peaceful and plentiful home. If I am not exceedingly de- ceived, thee has a kind and worthy husband. I have esteemed him ver}' highly ever since I became acquainted with him, but circumstances forbade my expressing the kindly feeling of my heart towards him. I knew however that he had good sense enough to approve, rather than condemn, my seeming taci- turnity. The case is now altered, — and I tender him the assur- ance of a brother's kindest afifection. And thee must impress it on his mind. When I sat down I did not think of writing half so much ; but as I forgot to stop sooner, thee must pardon my prolixity.

Resolutions adopted at a i)nblic niectinj;- held in the City of Matamoras, Mexico, on the afternoon of Ai)ril 2. 1835, during Benjamin Lundy's last visit to that city. The preamble and the first two resolutions have not been preserved. 3. A colony of this character would demonstrate the value of free labor in the culture of sugar, cotton, etc., almost side by side with the planters of Louisiana and adjacent States. On this point mainly the advocate of slavery presumes to argue now ; and the practical argument which may thus be adduced in favor of the abolition of slavery will, we are confident, be more effectual than any other in extinguishing the system of slavery upon pacific principles. It will remove the last plank from under the foot of him who entrenches himself on the quag- mire of prejudice and des])otisiu ; and he must then sink amid the quicksand of human turpitude or immediately place him- self on the solid ground of rational justice. 4. Resolved, That, altho' the Mexican people have but re- cently emerged from the gloom of a most oppressive despotism under which they had, for ages, struggled with ignorance and persecution ; }'et they have nobly thrown off the shackles of tyranny and degradation ; they have embraced the true princi- ples of genuine rciniblicanism : they have made rapid advances in carrying these princii)les into effect, not merely in theory but also in i)ractice: — and we have not the least doubt that this Re- ])ublic is destined to rank high among the most free, enlight- ened, oi)ulcnt and ])owerful nations of the earth. 5. Rcsoh'cd. That, having taken up our abode in this part of \orth America under the fostering protection of the Mexican Rc]nil)lic, we s])eak from experience when we say that in our opinion it is the most suitable location in the world for such of our colored brethren in the United States of the North as may be (like we were) desirous to change the place of their resi- THE PHILANTHROPIST. 385 dence for one where they may in fact, as well as in name, enjoy the blessings of freedom and the "equal rights of man." As the genial rays of the most brilliant heavenly luminaries are shed, alike, on men of all colors and conditions, so are the con- sistent provisions of Mexican legislation. Merit alone, not color, is a passport to distinction here. This may, therefore, be emphatically termed "the home of the free." It is, indeed, a home for the man of color. Here he ma}- "repose under his own vine and under his own fig tree, where there are none to molest or make him afraid." Some of us have resided in this country many years ; and \vhen we consider its contiguity to that of our brethren, and the consequent facility of migration, the amenity and salubrity of the climate, the fertility of the soil and its adaptation to every species of culture known upon the American Continent, its cen- tral location, convenience for manufactures and commerce, and proximity to the best markets in the world ; the remarkable healthiness of this particular region even for northern constitu- tions, the total absence of prejudice among the natives on ac- count of color and the perfect equality social and political which is extended by them to persons of all colors from all nations ; — we say when all these things are taken into consideration we feel ourselves fully warranted in adopting the conclusion ex- pressed in the first part of this resolution. 6. Resolved, That, notwithstanding we have abandoned the nation of our birth on account of the persecution and oppression to which ourselves and our brethren were then subjected, — still we take a deep and lively interest in the welfare and happiness of those we have left behind us. 7. Resolved, That we shall hail with pleasure the arrival of our colored friends in this country, whenever they may choose if as the place of their residence and will do everything con- sistent with our convenience to welcome and assist them in establishing themselves in business, and we do assure them, that in case they prove themselves to be moral, industrious and prudent and detuean themselves well, they will not only receive the most hospitable treatment, unequivocal friendship and safe protection from the Mexican people and government, but that they will also be invested with all rights, privileges and immu- nities, social, political and religious, that are extended to the in- dividuals of any nation or color ; and further, that the door of 386 BENJAMIN LUNDY improvement being here plainly open and every obstacle in the way of emulation and honest competition removed the y may by a proper exercise of their faculties, according to their various talents and capacities soon acquire wealth, respectabil- ity and honor, however humble may have been the stations they had previously occupied when prejudice reigned triumphant over them and tyranny had shrouded them in darkness and ob- scurity. 8. Resolved, That the Secretary be directed to furnish Mr. Lundy with a copy of the proceedings of this meeting to be used by him in whatever manner he may judge proper for the infor- mation of our friends and brethren relative to our feelings, views and sentiments as above expressed. Signed by order of the meeting. Henry Powell, Chairman. Attest: Jeff. Hamlin, Secretary. V. Extract from a letter written to Benjamin Lundy by some correspondent in Mexico. .... But the pump for raising water is of the first and in- dispensable importance. Hubbard's is the one to be preferred. One large pump might water many small farms but probably the better way would be for each farmer to be independent of another with regard to his water and use a smaller and less ex- pensive pump worked by a horse power which must be procured with the pump. Hubbard's second size will answer the pur- lK)Sc well. The largest size would be sufficient for a farm that would employ fifty hands. It would require an eight horse- power to carry it. The price of the largest size is 140$, that of the common size 40$. and the manual or smallest 25$. Gear- ing, \npvs ik machinery accompanying extra. The vessel owned by, or employed by the colony when not required in transport- ation should take mules from this port to Mobile or Pensacola and return with timber. In this way she would make money instead of sinking it ; but great pains should be taken in pro- curing her captain and crew. They should understand their business well. The vessel must come provided with every thing for such a cargo, for nothing but the mules can be procured here. The hay, water, oats & corn for the mules, halters and THE PHILANTHROPIST. 387 chains for tying^ them, shngs for keeping them up and the limber for their mangers must all come with the vessel. Your idea of separating families, or rather of bringing at first only single men, I cannot approve. Married men are the most efficient at all times and will give greatest satisfaction to the government. Their morals are also more to be relied on. I recommend that a vessel be bought of about 90 or a 100 tons with not over 7 or 8 feet draft for the use of the colonists. There will be great economy in this as she can ply in the trade between this port and New Orleans & pay her own ex- penses besides transporting the colonists with all their agricul- tural implements, vi. Letter written by Col. I. N. Almonte, Mexican Minister to the United States, and addressed to Benjamin Lundy, Esqr., 94 North Fifth street, Philadelphia. New York, Sept. the 24, 1835. Dear Sir, — On mv return from Canada, which was three days ago, I was agreeabl}- surprised to find on my table your much esteemed letter of the i ith inst. I had the pleasure to converse with Mr. Child and I got some interesting information from him in re- gard to Texas. I shall see him again when he returns to town. I can positively assure you that our gov't never will part with Texas ; we know too well to appreciate good things, and not only that but the sale of Texas would produce a revolution in Mexico. I had advices from that city up to the ist of Sept. inst., and by them I learn that everything goes on smoothly. The Congress has not yet declared whether it is to be constit- uent or convocant, and many assure me that the Const'n. will not be changed but amended only. We shall see by next Packet what has finally been done. I am extremely obliged to you foi* the information you give me of Melish's map : would you be so good as to call on Messrs. Follin & Cuerta, No. 36 W'alnut street^, and let them know the price of the said map? They will in that case give you the money and you will still be kind enough to buy it and deposit it into :\lr. Cuerta's hands. You can show this part of my let- ter to them and thev will, I doubt not, serve me. 388 BENJAMIN LUNDY I shall not pass through that town until December and there- fore I shall wait it to have the pleasure of seeing you. I live in Cortland street No. 40, near Broadway, and will be happy t.) see you there. Yours truly, I. N. Almonte. VII. Articles of agreement between Benjamin Lundy, of Wash- ington, D, C, and Lyman A. Spalding, of Lockport, N. Y., dated January 28, 1836. Articles of Agreement betzveen Benjamin Lundy and Lyman A. Spalding. (Done in duplicate.) These articles of agreement made and executed on the twenty-eighth day of January in the year one thousand eight hundred and thirty-six between Benjamin Lundy of the city of Washington, in the District of Columbia, of the one part, and Lyman A. Spalding, of Lockport, in the State of New York, of the other part. Witness that whereas the said Benjamin hath entered into a treaty with the Governor of the free and sover- eign State of Tamaulipas, Republic of Mexico, bearing date the tenth day of March in the year one thousand eight hundred and thirty-five, whereby a grant of lands in the said state was made to the said Benjamin under certain clauses and restrictions as by reference to said treaty (which was published at Philadel- phia in the same year one thousand eight hundred and thirty- five) will more fully appear, now for and in consideration of the premises, also of the said Lyman's having advanced to said Benjamin certain sums of money as set forth in two previous articles of agreement, bearing date respectively the twelfth day of first month (January) 1832, and the first day of eleventh month (November) 1832, also of one dollar to him now in hand hand paid the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and also of other good and lawful considerations, the said Benjamin and Lyman have agreed and by these presents do agree to be- come and do become coj^artners, hereby covenanting and agree- ing each to and with the other in manner and form following, that is to say — THE PHILANTHROPIST. 389 1st. — The said Benjamin shall proceed to colonize the land granted to him by said treaty upon the terms and in the manner required thereby, so soon as in his judgment it shall be safe and expedient so to do, transacting the whole of the business of such colonization whether the same be with the authorities of the State of Tamaulipas or with any other person or persons, body or bodies politic whatever in his the said Benjamin's own name and in the manner which he shall think best. 2d. — The reasonable costs accrued and expenditures incurred by said Benjamin in colonizing the said land shall from time to time as may be deemed convenient, be fully and correctly stated and proper accounts thereof be submitted to said Lyman or his proper attorney; which said costs and expenditures shall be equally borne and defrayed by the parties hereto, provided nevertheless the said Benjamin shall besides paying his own moiety furnish as far as may be practicable the funds towards defraying the said Lyman's half until this shall have amounted to the sum of five hundred dollars (in which sum the said Ben- jamin is well and truly indebted to the said Lyman upon a bond bearing date the twelfth day of first month (January) one thousand eight hundred and thirty-two, alluded to in the for- mer articles of agreement above referred to) : and all payments so made by said Benjamin for ■ said Lyman shall be duly credited upon said bond it being understood by both par- ties that in case of difficulties preventing the completion of the colony designed or in case said Lyman's moiety of the expenses as above paid by said Benjamin shall not amount to said sum of five hundred dollars, then the balance of said sum after de- ducting the amounts paid shall be considered a loan to said Benjamin to bear interest at the rate of seven dollars for every one hundred dollars per annum as mentioned in the agreements already referred to, ,3d. — Immediately upon said Benjamin's receiving the deeds of said lands in fee simple or of any part thereof according to the provisions of the said treaty, they shall be equally divided ac- cording to quantity and quality between the said Benjamin and said Lyman or their respective heirs or assigns, to be held sever- ally by them subject to the terms of the treaty and laws of the country, provided nevertheless the said Benjamin shall have the full and entire right and power (which is hereby fully granted and conceded by said Lyman) of granting and conveying to 39° BENJAMIN LUNDY each of the colonists recjuired b\- said treaty gratis and w ithout charge such portions of land as may be necessary to induce them to become settlers or in general of using such other measures in the transfer of portions of said land to the colon- ists as will in his opinion best promote the interests of the par- ties hereto, he hereby binding- hiiiiself to exert his best elTorts in promoting the same. 4th. — Should it at any time hereafter (before the deeds be received as aforesaid and the division made) be the desire of the parlies to farm or improxe any portion of said land upon their individual accounts, the said Benjamin shall have the first choice of a tract (say a league or labor as he may select) and said L.yman shall have the second choice, which portions so selected shall be held by each party in fee simple, absolutely, separately and apart from the partnership hereby formed as to the residue of the Grant. 5th. — It is further mutual!}- agreed that in case the parties hereto shall at any future time deem it expedient to purchase a tract of land in some suitable place in the vicinity of the land granted by the treaty and herein before alluded to for the pur- P'ose of establishing a commercial city, the said L\-man shall purchase the same for his own sole use and benefit, and the said Benjamin shall select or aid in selecting the site, prepare the plan, lay out said city, name it as he shall see fit, as also its avenues, streets, squares, &c.. j)ublish an accurate state- ment of its location with its commercial advantages, all at the cost of said Lyman. In compensation for these services the said Benjamin shall receive of and from the said Lyman a fee simple title to six lots in said city and one labor in its vicinity of the land thus purchased, he choosing the labor and one of the said six lots wherever he shall see fit, the other five remain- ing lots to be cfpiitably selected according to the advantages of situation. 6th. The articles of agreement heretofore executed and now superseded by these presents are hereby declared of no further force and effect but null and void. To the true performance and execution of all and singular the foregoing covenants and agreements, the said parties do respectively bind themselves, their heirs, executors, adminis- trators and assigns by these presents. In testimony whereof we have hereunto severally set our THE PHILANTHROPIST. 39* hands and affixed our seals on the day and year first above written. B. LuNDY. [Seal] L. A. Spalding.

Letter written by Lydia Maria Child, wife of David Lee Child, to Benjamin Lundy. Circumstances had prevented Benjamin from starting to Mexico with his settlers during February, 1836, the favor- able month ; and therefore he had proposed that he and Mr. Child should proceed together to New Orleans, in disguise, and thence to Matamoras. Mrs. Child was the editor of the Anti-Slavery Standard. New Rochelle, [N. Y.], March 14th, [1836]. Esteemed Friend, — I received your letter yesterday. I was very much distressed for fear that Mr. Child would fall in with your proposed route ; but he has pledged himself not to go without me, and now I feel easy concerning him. But your danger will be a hundred fold greater than his. I do beseech you not to be so rash as to think of running this great risk, merely for the sake of gaining a few weeks' time. In the common course of nature it cannot be very long before the ice breaks up. This delay is over-ruled by Providence for some good ; and being impatient under it will only be produc- tive of mischief. I think we had better wait till we can all go together. Mr. Child has proposed to go by way of Jamaica ; but this would increase expense, and be accompanied with uncertainty. What very important difference can a few weeks make? I pray you do not go by way of N. Orleans. Having sur- 392 BENJAMIN LUNDY vived so many dangers, do not hazard all on one throw, just as the way seems open for the final accomplishment of your wishes. Very Respectfully & sincerely your Friend, L. Maria Child. P. S. — Joseph Carpenter & his family desire to be remem- bered. (On the back of the foregoing letter the following passage is found.) I have little to add to the enclosed letter; but 1 hope to get something more defmite soon concerning the situation, views and purposes Plenipe F — has recently arrived, and has promised us news. 1 fancy the late Charge is not disposed to be very communica- tive. Well, he has a right to be close, and as a general rule it is his duty. it seems to me that the Texan traitors are now going down hill to destruction as fast as the greatest sinners need to, unless Andrew the first (and last 1 hope) picks a quarrel & sends the "6th Regiment," which is now on army observation, to whip the Mexicans into the Pacific Ocean. It appears to me that Santa Anna is displaying consummate statesmanship. I see now why the Texans began to call him "the archfiend" about two months ago. The Mexican nation and government have been so long harassed, irritated, and insulted by these insolent slavite desperadoes that they will, I doubt not, make thorough work with them now. They must look unfavorably upon any new emigrants from the United States. IX. Letter written by David Lee Child to Benjamin Lundy. The heading of the letter has been lost. The season when we wished to go has already passed and a few days or weeks cannot now be very important. I should suppose that very little can be done this year except in planting provisions, erecting dwellings and laying out lots so as to begin betimes next January. I wish to be there and will go by the first opportunity altho' I regret that the best and healthiest months for arriving there have passed away. But THE PHILANTHROPIST. 393 temperance & regularity render almost any changes of climate safe. Let us know immediately whether you concur in our views. Arrived at our destination, our land selected, and the nature of the soil, climate, &c., tried, we shall be able to put forth a circular in the U. S. which will bring us settlers as fast as they can be accommodated. AfTect'y Yr Friend, D. L. Child. Mr. Benj-a Lundy, Philadelphia. X. A extract from The War in Texas, a pamphlet of fifty-six pages, written and published by Benjamin Lundy in 1836. It is susceptible of the clearest demonstration that the im- mediate cause and the leading object of this contest originated in a settled design among the slaveholders of this country (with land-speculators and slave-traders) to wrest the large and val- uable territory of Texas from the Mexican Republic in order to reestablish the system of slavery; to open a vast and profit- able slave-market therein ; and ultimately, to annex it to the LTnited States. We can no longer disguise the fact that the advocates of Slavery are resolved at all hazards to obtain the territory in question, if possible, for the avowed purpose of adding five or six more slave-holding states to the Union ! It is now time for the people of the United States who are opposed to this horrible evil (an evil unparalleled in the present state of the world) to arouse from their lethargy and nip the monstrous attempt in the bud. XL Resolution adopted by the Anti-Slavery Society of the State of Pennsylvania at its convention held at Harrisburg from Jan- uary 31 to February 2, 1837: Whereas. We recognize and appreciate the self-denying zeal and untiring efforts of Benjamin Lundy, by which he sus- tained The Genius of Universal Emancipation for eight years of general apathy on the subject of slavery, when no pecuniary embarrassment, no privations of society, no cold neglect or in- difference to his warning voice could dissuade him from his 394 BENJAMIN LUNDY hxed principles of duty, but finally the attention of many was roused by it throughout the land ; therefore, Resolved, That r.enjaniin Lundy receive the thanks of this Convention. XII. Letter written by Benjamin Lundy, and addressed to Wil- liam C. Wierman, York Springs, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, 4th mo. 6th, 1837. Mv Ukar Children, — 1 have been ver}- unwell much of the time since I saw you. Aly time has also been so incessantly occupied when I have been able to attend to business that it has been out of my power to pay much attention to matters of a private nature. This will account for my delaying so long to write to you. The time is near at hand when I suppose you will set out for the west. I have thotight much upon the subject since m\- return home, and indulge the hope that everything may be arranged to your satisfaction. Eliza seems at a loss to decide whether to go to the west, just now, or to wait until I can go also. As the State Society has now taken the National Enquirer on the condition that I shall still continue its editor, I do not expect that I can leave this part of the country before next Fall, or Spring. I have no ex- pectation that my location here will be permanent. I wish to arrange matters so that I can spend the remainder of my life among my children, if possible ; and it is altogether likely that I shall obtain a discharge from my present station after a while. The friends of our cause will not listen to anything of the kind at present ; and, in fact, I believe, myself, that it w'ould not be proper for me to seek repose, during the heat of the great moral warfare in which I have been so long engaged. As for Charles, I am of the opinion that he had best accom- pany you, if it is your desire. You will probably need his as- sistance, both in performing the journey with your goods, &c., and in preparing your new habitation. Even if he should re- turn again after a while, or choose to learn a trade, I have no doubt that it be the best for himself to go with you In fact, I scarcely know what he could do here, to advantage. If you should not have full employment for him, he would find no THE PHILANTHROPIST. 395 difficulty in getting- it among our friends in that part of the country. Should he incline to learn a trade, as aforesaid, he could get better terms in a new country than in the old settlements. 1 have got a pretty good situation for Eliza, but I have no idea that one could be had, about here, for Charles, unless he would serve an apprenticeship of five or six years. I wish vou to write me, soon after the reception of this, and let me know, candidly, your views upon this subject. Let me know, also, what Charles thinks of it himself. And further, I wish to understand the precise time of your intended depart- ure, that I may, if possible, see you again before you set out. I received a letter from sister Mary a short time since She has not yet arrived in the city but we expect her to-morrow. T got Susan's letter, a few days ago. She sends her love to you all. Soon after ni}- return here I wrote to Brother William Lewis but have got no answer yet. Have you received anything from him lately? We learn that our friends in New Jersey are generally in usual health. Isaac Lewis, Morgan Lewis' son, from Short Creek, Ohio, was here last week. He saw Father Lewis. Brother Samuel, Sister Ann Fullerton, and their folks a week or two before, who were all in common health. Do not forget to write me iiiiuiediatcly. That is the popular doctrine now. Give my love to Lydia, Joel, Charles, and al! the children. You have so many there, it would occupy too much time and space to name them all here. Your affectionate Father, B. LUNDY. Wm. C.

Dear Wm & Susan, — Esther has been taken down with the Ague fever, and there is no one here to pay her the proper attention. I am confined to my bed more than half the time. 1 want Susan to take care of her, while her illness continues. When she gets able to work she may help Eliza, if she wants her. I will pay fully for her board, &c. &c. while she is unable to work. My journeyman is about leaving me, and I must shut up my office again. I will see you all as soon as I am able to ride that distance. Ailfectionately, B. Lundy. P. S. — I do not think it would do to send Esther to Eliza, now. B. L. XV. Obituary notice of Esther (Lewis) Lundy, wife of Benjamin Lundy; written by her husband and published in The Genius on June 3, 1826: The editor has never made it a practice to insert obituary notices in this work, but he trusts that his readers will hold him excused for occupying a small space in the present num- ber, with the view of paying a tribute to the memory of his late bosom companion, whose untimely demise was noticed a few weeks since, during his absence. Though nothing can be said that will rescue from the power of the grave the friends that we love, after the relentless hand of death hath been laid upon THE PHILANTHROPIST. 397 them, still we may be permitted to breathe our last adieu, in obedience to the mandates of true and genuine affection. Esther Lundy was born in the county of Chester, in the State of Pennsylvania, on the 26th day of the 3d month, 1793. She was the eldest daughter of Henry Lewis, who removed with his family to the State of Ohio, in the early settlement of that part of the country, where he still resides. She had a birth- right in the Society of Friends, which she retained until the dav of her death. Since we formed our matrimonial connex- ion, it has frequently been my lot to be from home, for many months at a time. And in consequence of the peculiar duties of my calling, since I have been in a public line of business, I several times found it necessary to change my place of resi- dence. All this must have occasioned some trials to my wife ; and in addition thereto, she was for several years of the latter part of her life severely afflicted with a rheumatic complaint, that sometimes appeared to her with imminent danger. Yet amidst every difficulty, and under every afflictive dispensation, she evinced an unusual degree of fortitude, for one of her sex. Whenever it fell to my lot to be called from home, and what- ever might be the state and condition of her health, she uniform- ly and cheerfully gave her consent thereto; observing that she could not find a freedom in urging anything as a hinderance to the success of my labours in the cause of philanthropy. It may truly be said that she was actuated by the spirit that directs the Christian in the path of duty ; and that the irreparable loss of her numerous friends and relatives is her eternal gain. She has left five small children, in addition to her bereaved husband, to lament her untimely death. In ordinary cases the severance of near and dear connexions by the cold hand of death, is sufficient to out-weigh every consideration that excites the pang of sor- row and keen regret. Yet when this is attended with peculiarly distressing circumstances, the barbed arrow of grief is doubly ])ointed, and the mind must suffer all the poignancy of deep and heart-rending affliction. It happened at a time when every relative, except her little hapless children, was absent, that the messenger of death appeared with his awful summons. Yet she was surrounded with Christian neighbors, who spared no ex- ertions to administer the balm of relief in the hour of distress. But alas! what could they do? It was the appointed time for her to receive the glorious reward of her many virtues. Her 398 BENJAMIN LUNDV Saviour called — slic ]:)asse(l the ordeal of dissdlution with ])er- l\cl calmness and serenity of mind — and her s])irit reposes in the mansion of eternal happiness. XVI. Editorial written by IJenjamin T.undy and published in the Genius on September 6, 1828. More than seven years have now elapsed since the first num- ber of The Genius of Uniirrsal Euiancipation was issued from the ])ress. and sent abroad to take its luck in a fault-finding world and stand or fall l)y its own merits alone. No hireling prints were employed to trumpet a fame which it never deserv- ed. Xo associations of wealthy and influential individuals were formed for the purpose of giving it a circulation or pop- ularity which its own character could not sustain or extend. Its pecuniary prospects all grew out of barely six individual subscriptions ; and its success, in every other respect, w^as left to grow out of its own little self, with this hmited circulation. But this was not the only dif^culty with which it was doomed to grapple. Many of the declared friends of emancipation, dis- trusting its slender hold u])on the favour of the people, de- nounced the attempt as "wild and Quixotic." The "great mass" looked "askance" at a project so novel : while interested knaves poured forth their vollies of wrath and seasoned their execrations with threats by no means creditable to themselves or flattering to the editor. Nothing but a firm conviction of the correctness of our views, the justice of our cause and the rectitude of our inten- tions, could have sustained us in our undertaking, during the earliest stages of this discouraging conflict. Rut the fates have decreed that "perseverance in well-doing shall be rewarded." ( )ur ])aper has worked its way through nian\- opposing difficulties, and gradually extended and in- creased its ])atronage. .\nd we now have the ])leasure to say ihat it is supported by many of the most exemplary and in- fiueiitial men — both political and religious — in the I'nited States. The immense pecuniary sacrifices, however, which have been necessarily made to sustain it thus far. have not been sufficiently repaired to give it that independent, firm, and dig- nified character which its advocates might wish. The difficulties to he encountered in ct^nducting a periodical THE PHILANTHROPIST. 399 like this are numerous and appalling. Each man who lend> his support thinks that he thereby obtains an unqualified right to chalk out the course to be pursued by its conductor. And as opinions relative to this course are various and conflicting,, we must reject all but our own, and adopted it as a rule of conduct. Some of our subscribers who believe that the condition of the African race is materially involved in the ensuing Presiden- tial election, urge us to devote a larger portion of our paper, at this eventful period, to that important subject, — others, again, when they discover the most distant allusion to a "purely political" question of this kind, very gravely order us to strike their names from our list, and assign for a reason that we have "abandoned our first principles and commenced the pub- lication of a political paper."

Again I find myself, alone, at the editorial desk; and again I resume a monthly correspondence with the readers of The Genius of Universal Emancipation. I yet hope to have the as- sistance of an amiable and talented writer whose services in the cause are invaluable, but the care and responsibility of the publication depend entirel}- upon myself. Nine years have nearly elapsed since this work first made its appearance. During that period I have witnessed many vicis- situdes in the affairs of life, have experienced something of the fickleness of fortune and a goodly share of what the world calls hardship and privation. From the commencement until very lately, however, it gradual!}- increased in size, and it is believed in interest. The many difficulties that presented them- selves have occasionally produced some irregularity. in its pub- lication ; and this, together with the unjwpularity of the subject 400 BENJAMIN LUNDY upon which it treats, in a portion of the country, and the gen- eral apathy among those who are friendly to the undertaking, have i)revented as extensive a circulation as had been antici- pated, riu' strong desire that I have ever felt to contribute my n.ile towards the promotion of the good cause, has induced me not only to make great exertions to issue a weekly publication devoted to it but also to render what assistance I could in every other way. But I find that the people are not prepared to go with me quite so far. To s])eak in phrase a la militaire, I am too near the entrenchments of the enemy. — and, of course, like a prudent soldier, must retreat a little, until our troops can "screw up their courage" somewhat more. That they will ere long go farther I feel well assured ; and I shall still "fight on," and "keep the faith," hoping and believing that a glorious vic- tory will ultimately crown our efforts. That T shall yet have a severe struggle for a time, even with the monthly publica- tion, is to be expected: and T submit it to the con- sideration of those who profess a willingness to aid in promoting the work of emancipation — those who approve the course I have pursued — whether it be reasonable or just, that I should be subjected to in- conveniences and hardships almost intolerable w^hen they are equally as much interested in the njatter as I am myself, and have it in their power, by giving a little further assistance, to relieve me from a portion of the burden and enable me to labor much more efficiently for the attainment of our great and im- portant object. T do not wish to speak boastfully of what T have done, or essayed to do. in advocating the question of African Emanci- pation ; and T do detest the idea of making a cringing appeal to the public for aid in my undertaking. T am willing to work : and can support myself and family by my own labor. Rut after a ten years' struggle to promote the cause to the best of my humble abilities, and in every possible manner, it may not be amiss to inform those who take an interest in this publica- tion, that T have fwithin the period mentioned) sacrificed several thousand dolllars of my own hard earnings, have travelled upwards of five thousand miles on foot, and more than twenty thousand in other ways ; have visited nineteen of the states of this Union and held more than two hundred pub- lic meetings, with the view of making known our object, &c. : THE PHILANTHROPIST. 401 and in addition to this, have performed two voyages to the ^^'est Indies, by which means the hberation of a considerable mimljcr of slaves has been effected, and I hope the way has been paved for the enlargement of many more. What efifect this work has had in turning the attention of the public to the subject of the abolition of slavery, it would not become me to say, though I have carefully noted every- thing relative thereto that came within the range of my obser- vation. Of this, others who have acquainted themselves with the matter must judge. But I am fully persuaded that something of the kind is greatly needed and may be instrumental in doing much good. There is not another periodical work, published by a citizen of the United States, whose conductor dare treat upon the sub- ject of slavery as its nature requires and its importance de- inands. And viewing the matter in this light, I shall persevere in my efforts, as usual, while the means of doing it are afforded, or until more efficient advocates of the cause shall make them- selves known. I shall now^ devote my undivided attention to this publication, and endeavor to make it as in- teresting as possible. I will neither be cajoled by the smiles nor awed by the frowns of any to a derelic- tion of principle or an abandonment of the cause. My humble exertions shall be directed to the one great end — my whole self shall be devoted to the holy work — my march shall be steadily ouzvard; and neither sectarian pride, party zeal, nor even persecution itself, from the "powers that be," or that may be, shall turn me to the right hand or to the left. If I obtain a reasonable patronage for the work, it shall go on. upon the principle that it has ever done when under my imme- diate direction, notwithstanding all the opposition that tyranny and malice can array against it, B.

'■.\n_\ one who will examine John (Juincy Adams's speecli on Texas, in 1838, will sec that he was only seconding the full and able exposure of the Texas plot, prepared by Benjamin l.undy, to one of whose pamphlets Dr. Channing in his 'Letter to Henry Clay' has confessed his obligation, livery one ac- quainted with those years will allow that the North owes its earliest knowledge and first awakening on that subject to Mr, Lundy who made long journeys and devoted years to the in vestigation. His (Lundy's) labors have this attestation that they ((uickened the zeal and strengthened the hands of such men as Adams and Channing. I have been told that Mr. Lundy prepared a brief for Mr. Adams and furnished him the materials for his 'S]:)eech on Texas.' " XIX. Eulogy on Benjamin Lundy. written by Thomas Earle and f'ublished as introductory paragraphs to "Earle's Life of Lundy." "It has, perhaps, been too often the province of Biography to record the achievements of the heroes of the sword — of those whose principal distinction arose from the torrents of blood they had caused to flow, from the number of widows and or- phans they had made, and from the extent of the countries which they had devastated or enslaved, with no better motive than that principle of self-aggrandizetncnt wliich actuates the thief, the robber and the pirate. "Our enterprise is of a different character. Its purpose is to record the deeds of a hero of the soul — of one who toiled in- cessantly, and patiently endured every privation in order that he might heal the \vounds which tyranny had inflicted ; that he might bind up the hearts which avarice had rent : that he might sanctify the rights of consanguinity : that he might se- cure to labour its just reward, to virtue its due protection, to ilie rights of man their full enjoyment, to human intellect its freedom of expansion, to life the shield of just laws: and that he might elevate his race to a more full conformity to that re- ligion which teaches peace on earth and good will to meii." THE PHILANTHROPIST. 403 XX. There was an article publislied in The Independent in 1868 on The Anti-Sla^■erv Labors of Ik'njaniin Lnndy, which article consisted of two contributed letters, with some comments thereon by the eflitor of the paper. One of these letters was written by Mrs. Susan M. Wierman. and gave a short history of The Genius: T do n.ot reprint Mrs. Wierman's letter for It contains no new facts. The other letter was written by Mr. Thomas H. Genin. an aged citizen of St. Clairsville. Ohio, who sjieaks from personal knowledge concerning the beginning of Renjamin Lundy's ])ublic career, concerning Lundy's success in organizing the I'nion Humane Society, and concerning the character of the work carried on by that association. I reprint Mr. Genin. 's letter in full. St. Clair-Sville, O., March 25, 1867. To the Editor of The Independent : In your notice of Leutze's intent to paint the emancipators (January 3. 1867), you say, "William Lloyd Garrison is the I-ioneer and founder of the grand moral movement which gen- erated the public sentiment in obedience to which slavery in the United States was abolished." I would not detract from him. Init would allow the just claiius of others. Garrison could have l^een scarce eleven vears old when Benjamin Lundy assembled by his importunity some persons who had virtue in abundance but rusty for want of use. at the tavern of William Sharpless. in St. Clairsville. Ohio, — among them Charles Hammond, sub- sequently of the Cincinnati Gazette — to form an abolition association under the name of "The Union Humane Society." The record of their proceedings, in Lundy's handwriting, is before me. It is without date, but the 34th article of the con- stitution they adopted provides that "All persons who subscribe this constitution on or before the 20th day of April, t8t6, shall meet at Mt. Pleasant on that day for the purpose of organizing the societv." lender this constitution, by Lundy's exertions, eight local associations were formed, which sent delegates semi-annuallv to ^It. Pleasant for several years, and the central society was represented by delegates to the Abolition Convention held in Philadelphia. I was a delegate in 1819. The inhabitants of St. Clairsville. Ohio, indulged in some 404 BENJAMIN LUNDY pleasantries at Lundy's efforts in 1818, '19 and '20, to sell his little house in that town for the purpose, as he said, of getting means to publish an abolition paper. In the latter part of 1820 he arranged to have such a paper printed at Mt. Pleasant, called The Genius of Universal Emancipation. The enclosed letter of Mrs. Susan M. Wierman, of Magnolia, Putnam county. Til., eldest daughter of Mr. TAindy, gives its history. Mr. Lundy sold his house in St. Clairsville, closed his sad- dlery shop, issued The Genius of Universal Emancipation, de- voted himself soul, body, and business, to the cause of abol- itionism from the year 1815 until his death in 1839. He pub- lished the first abolition paper, commencing January, 1821. and continued it with little interrruption for nineteen years. He lectured and traveled much, and urged others to aid the cause. Not the least of his triumphs is his bringing Mr. Garrison into the field. This recruit has done him distinguished honor, though he did not appear in arms until Lundy had been thir- teen years engaged — eight years as an editor and five as an efficient agitator in other respects. As a fruit of his agitation. T send for Mr. Tilton's inspection an oration of May 14, i8t8, of which the "Union Humane Society" distributed a large edition. It aims to remove prejudices against negroes, and its arguments seem as much needed now as then. Thomas H. Genin. XXI. Extract from the History of the Ignited States, by Dr. H. von Hoist ; Vol. II., pages 81-82. The immediate precursor and. in a certain sense, the father of the abolitionists was Benjamin Lundy a Quaker, born in New Jersey. In Wheeling, West Virginia, where he learned the saddler's trade, he had ample opportunity to become ac- quainted w^ith the horrors of slavery as great cargoes of slaves on their way to the southern states frequently passed the place. Lundy had been endeavoring for some years to awaken an ac- tive interest among his neighbors in the hard lot of the slaves when the Missouri question brought him to the resolve to con- secrate his whole life to their cause. In 1821 he began to publish The Genius of Universal Eman- cipation, which is to be considered the first abolition organ. The XlXth century can scarcely point to another instance in THE PHILANTHROPIST. 4^5 which the commandment of Christ to leave all things and fol- low Him was so literally construed and followed. Lundy gave up his flourishing business, took leave of his wife and of his two dearly beloved children and began a rest- less wandering life, to arouse consciences everywhere to a deeper understanding of the sin and crime of slavery.

[Com- piled by Thomas Earle.] Thomas Earle was a lawyer and an abolitionist, and in the presidential campaign of 1840 had been the candidate of the Liberty Party for Vice-President of the United States. He was a man of culture and at the time of his death was engaged in translating Sismondi's Italian Republics. He had known Lundy personally ; and he undertook the task of compiling a biography at the request of Benjamin's half-sister, Lydia S. Wierman, who furnished him with all the available material. An examination of Earle's Life of Lundy reveals the fact that the book consists of three parts; namely, (a) Lundy's per- sonal narrative or autobiography, pages 13-31, 186-189, copied iiearly in his own words from a series of letters written in Illinois by Lundy during the last year of his life and addressed to a young Quaker lady in Chester county. Pa., whom he had met in 1838 and to whom he became engaged to be married; (b) Lundy's travels, pages 31-186, in Texas and Mexico, based on a journal which Lundy kept from May 5, 1833, to July 3, 1835; (c) Lundy's opinions, pages 189-303, being a summary of the most important articles printed in The Genius of Univer- sal Emancipation, drawn from the files of that periodical and arranged in chronological order. 406 BENJAMIN LUNDY History of the Anicricati Conflict, by Horace Greeley; Vol. 1., page III.

To Benjamin Lundy The early, steadfast, intrepid advocatq of Emancipation. Self-taught, unaided, poor, reviled, contemned, Beset with enemies, by friends betrayed, As madman and fanatic oft condemned, Yet in thy noble cause still undismayed ! Leonidas thy courage could not boast ; Less numerous were his foes, his hand more strong; Alone, unto a more than Persian host, Thou hast undauntedly given battle long. Nor shalt thou singly wage the unequal strife; And to thy aid with spear and shield I rush. And freely do I offer up my life And bid my heart's blood find a wound to gush ! New volunteers are trooping to the field — To die we are prepared, but not an inch to yield. II. To THE Memory of Benjamin Lundy. Thank God that, though thy body Death hath slain, Thy quenchless spirit nothing could subdue; That, though thou art removed from mortal view, Thou livest evermore — and not in vain ! Our loss is but thine everlasting gain ! Of Freedom's friends, the truest of the true Wast thou, as all her deadly foes well knew ! For bravely her good cause thou didst maintain. No threats could move, no perils could appal. No bribes seduce thee, in thy high career : O, many a fettered slave shall mourn thy fall, And many a ransomed one let drop the tear ; A nation wakened by thy trumpet-call — The world itself — thy memorv shall revere !

JOHN ARMSTRONG, Of J(jhns(.iiliurg-, Warren Count.v, New Jersey. Born in 17S8: died in 187.:;. Son of George Armstrong and Sarah Hunt; Of Nathan Armstrong and L'i)hamy Wright. ARMSTRONG FAMILY. 409 ARMSTRONG FAMILY. Nathan Armstrong, an early settler of Warren county, New- Jersey, was born about 17 17, near Londonderry in the province of Lister, Ireland. He was a linen weaver by trade, a Scotch- Irishman by race, and a Protestant by religious faith. He came to America about 1740 and made his way to the northwestern frontier of New Jersey, where he met and loved and married a Scotch-Irish maiden named Uphamy Wright. He bought a large tract of uncleared land, built a log-cabin thereon and became a farmer, and continued thereafter during a period of twenty-nine years to enjoy the blessings of health and home and the rewards of industry and thrift. He repre- sented his township on the County Board of Freeholders, and was one of the original incorporators of Christ Church at New- ton, being named as such in the charter granted to that church in 1774 by the provincial government. He died August ii, 1777. Nathan's homestead, which is one mile northwest of John- sonburg and fourteen miles from the Delaware Water Gap, was held in the Armstrong name for three generations (1748- 1880), a period of 132 years. Nathan and Uphamy (Wright) Armstrong had seven children ; namely, Elizabeth, George and John, William, Mary, Hannah and Sarah. Each of these children grew to maturity, married and has descendants living at the present time. Elizabeth Armstrong, the eldest child, born March 12, 1747, was the wife of Archibald Stinson, of Danville, N. J. George and John Armstrong were twins ; George married Sarah Hunt, and John married Sarah Stinson. William Armstrong married in 1778 Elizabeth Swayze, dwelt at Johnsonburg, N. J., and left four daughters; namely, Lydia, the wife of Abraham Shafer, Jr. ; Euphemia, the wife of John T. Bray ; Mary, the wife of John Casper Roy ; and Sarah, the wife of Ephraim Green, Jr. Mary Armstrong was the wife of Capt. Robert Beavers, of Changewater, Warren county, N. J. Hannah Armstrong was the wife of Alexander Linn, and when a widow removed in 1800 with her six children to Espy- ville, Crawford county, Pa. Sarah Armstrong was the wife of Capt. Abraham Shafer, of Stillwater, Sussex county, N. J. 4i6 ARMSTRONG FAMILY. A Genealogical Record of the Descendants of Nathan Ann- strong was compiled and published in 1895 by William Clinton Armstrong-, the author of this Lundy genealog) . The Last W ill and Testament of Nathan Armstrong, the pioneer, is dated August 5, 1777, and is recorded among wills. Liber 20, pages 306-310, in the Oflice of the Secretary of State in the State House at Trenton, N. J. A copy of said will is presented herewith. Xathan Armstrong's Will.

Samuel Willson 1. in 1705 m. Hester Overton, b. 26 of 10 mo., 1682, daughter of Samuel and Hannah Overton. They settled in Chesterfield township, Burlington county, N. J., where a family of eight children were bom to them; in 1730 they removed to Franklin township, Hunterdon county. About a mile southwest of the village of Quakertown, Hun- terdon county, N. J., stands an old mansion. It is built of stone WILLSON FAMILY. *• - 461 and lii\oli up on its western g-able appears the inscription "S H ^^ I735-" Tlie initials are those of Samuel and Hester (Over- ton) Willson who builded here a home that was destined to shelter many generations of their descendants. The house gives evidence of having been well built ; the walls, laid up in clay, are firm and solid and will endure perhaps an- other century if no ruder hand than that of Time be laid upon them. The enormous chimneys contain almost stone enough to build a moderate-sized house. In the western gable near the date stone there is a small square loop-hole which one might suppose had been intended for use in defending the castle against the attacks of Indians were it not for the fact that the owners thereof were members of the peace-loving sect called Quakers. Running along the exterior walls on both sides is the water-table ; and an ancient pent-house protected one of the doors. The partitions of the interior are of wood and are pan- elled all the way up to the lofty ceiling. Originally the huge beams were exposed to view, the ceiling being a comparatively recent innovation. Two small windows set quite high in the thick walls admitted but scant light and the general appearance must have been somewhat gloomy. The great fire-place with its stock-hole in the jamb speaks eloquently of the pleasures of the olden time, for here the young people of the family with their neighboring cousins and friends gathered around to enjoy social converse and innocent games. Among the many relics still preserved in the Willson family is a large cupboard brought from England in 1682 by Robert Willson, the father of Samuel. Other mementos are the ori- ginal deed for the six hundred acres of land dated 1730 and given by Jacob Doughty in consideration of three hinidred pounds of lawful silver money of the King's Dominions in America, the marriage certificate of James and Martha (Laing) Willson bearing their autographs and those of many of their relatives and friends, inventories of estates, vendue lists, and many other old documents. But the oldest and most interesting souvenir is a well worn Bible, the several portions of which were printed at diflferent dates and afterward bound together ; the last part is dated 1618 and is "The Whole Booke of Psalmes collected into English Meeter by Thomas Sternhold, John Hopkins and others, with 462 WILLSON FAMILY. apt Xotcs to sinjT thcni withal." Robert Willson's autop:raph appears 011 one pai^e, and those of Samuel and his sister Rebecca on another. CHILDREN OF SAMUEL WILLSON I. AND HESTER OVERTON, Of Ouakertown, Hunterdon County, X. J. I.
