PREFACE.


THE HISTORY OF MONMOUTH COUNTY, here presented to its patrons for their approval, is the result of long and patient labor and research, which have been bestowed upon it with the view of producing an authentic and connected narrative of events of general importance or interest, which have occurred in the territory now comprised in the county of Monmouth, or in which its residents have been actors; confining the account as closely as practicable to the limits of the county, and to its former and present inhabitants, and referring to outside matters only so far as is necessary to show the connection of events. .


To the general matter pertaining to the county, is added a history of each of its townships, embracing accounts of churches, schools, societies, and other local organizations, and also special matters intended chiefly for reference. Other portions of the work are necessarily arranged according to the subjects of which they treat. A prominent feature of the work is the mention of early settler. , and of the families descended from them. In this connection it is proper to remark that the family names of many of the pioneers and later residents of Monmouth county have been found spelled differently, (and sometimes in as many as three or four different ways), in the county, township and church records; and for that reason it has often been found impossible to decide with any degree of certainty, on the correct orthography,-if, indeed, there is any choice as to correctness, where, as is not infrequently the case in this county, different members of the same fiumnily, spell their surname variously, each in his own way. Under such circumstances, it should not be thought strange if the writer, being wholly at a loss to know which manner of spelling to adopt, has sometimes chosen one which may be regarded as incorrect by some who bear the name. Beyond this explanation, no apology will be made, for none is thought to be necessary. It is of course impossible to produce a history which shall be absolutely perfect and complete, but every effort has been used to make this as nearly so as possible, and it is now presented, with full confidence that the verdict of its patrons will be one of approval.


To those who have courteously given their aid in the collection of the materials for the work, the historian desires to express his thanks; and among these he would mention in general, the pastors of the churches, the editors of the county newspapers, and the members of the legal and medical professions. He is also under special obligations for valuable information and other

Perrineuille, Presbyterian Church and Early Settlers


1786-1936


Perrineville is situated in the north central part of Millstone Township, Mon- mouth County, New Jersey. In 1786 the First Presbyterian Church of Millstone was organized. In those days it was customary for Presbyterian ministers to have under their charge young men in preparation for the ministry. Rev. John Wood- hull, D. D., pastor of Tennent Church, employed Joseph Clark, a student of the- ology under him, to conduct regular religious services at Perrineville, and he con- tinued there until 1788, when he was settled pastor over the Presbyterian Church of Allentown, from which time Perrineville was supplied with preaching by the pastors of Tennent, Cranbury and Allentown Presbyterian churches. In 1796 a plat of ground was purchased and the erection of a house of worship was com- menced. It was enclosed, a pulpit erected on the north side and temporary seats arranged by boards being laid on blocks, but inasmuch as sufficient funds could not be raised the church could not be finished and stayed in an uncompleted state for some forty years. Preaching was kept up for many years by Rev. John Wood- hull. Rev. William Henry Woodhull was the first pastor. A classical school was opened by Mr. Woodhull soon after he took charge. He erected a school building adjoining the parsonage, and in that building he taught until 1830. At that school, William A. Newell, since Governor of New Jersey; Nathaniel S. Rue and David Clark Perrine, of Freehold, were among the pupils.


In 1846 a large two-story frame school house was erected in the grove near the Presbyterian church of Perrineville; it was also used as a session room after the church was destroyed by fire in 1884, later the school house was removed from its present location and used as a dwelling house.


The original church, the fourth oldest in the Presbytery, was first known as the Second Church of Upper Freehold, and was incorporated in 1849 as the First Presbyterian Church of Millstone.


In 1857 it was remodeled and enlarged, and was destroyed by fire in 1884. The church edifice is now 50 feet by 70 feet with Sunday school rooms attached and finished in light wood. Thomas Perrine's sons, of Philadelphia, contributed the Bible, hymn books and bell; David Clark Perrine, of Freehold, contributed the pulpit made from walnut, hand carved and polished. The Perrineville church was destroyed by fire January 6, 1884, and rebuilt and dedicated, free of debt, December 18, 1884.


The following named pastors have served this church: Rev. William Henry Woodhull, September 6, 1826, to May 7, 1832; Rev. L. S. Beebe, September 16, 1834, to November 8, 1836; Rev. William S. Betts, June 13, 1838, to August 25, 1840; Rev. Charles F. Worrell, D. D., April 2, 1842, to March 9, 1867; Rev. Daniel F. Lockerby, July 13, 1869, to September 9, 1871; Rev. George W. Mc- Millan, November 1, 1873, to May 16, 1888; Rev. William T. Finley, D. D., Octo- ber 1, 1889, to June 14, 1893; Rev. M. G. Clayton, November 5, 1893, to December 27, 1898; Rev. William Campbell, January 1, 1899, to April 30, 1899; Rev. H. K. Fulton, October 4, 1899, to November 23, 1908; Rev. Joseph S. Van Dyke, Dec- ember 13, 1908, to 1916.


From 1917 the church has been supplied for the most part by students from the Princeton Theological Seminary: J. Christy Wilson, January, 1917 to May,


:


1918; John H. May, June 1918, to September, 1918; Henry Bettman, November, 1918, to May, 1919; William Johnson, May, 1919, to April, 1922; Julian Park, May, 1922, to September, 1922; Edgar Crossland, November, 1922, to May, 1923; B. B. Shipman, May, 1923, to April, 1924; George Kerchner, April, 1924, to May, 1925; Edwin L. Wilson, May, 1925, to October, 1926; J. Harold Groyne, October, 1926, to April, 1927; Joseph R. Harris, April, 1927, to April, 1928; L. Craig Long, April, 1928, to September, 1928; Joseph R. Harris, September, 1928, to May, 1929; John ,Lukens, June, 1929, to June, 1930; C. Ramson Comfort, October, 1930, to April, 1931; William J. Cartmell, April, 1931, to April, 1934; Lindley Cook, April, 1934, to June, 1935; John H. Strock, July, 1935, still serving as pastor.


The following named sextons have served: Ezekiel Chamberlain, Edward Dis- brow, Alfred Totten, Thomas Thompson, Albert Errickson, and Frank Patterson.


In the seventeenth century the pioneers went to church in their farm wagons, and in stormy weather they put on a sheet top cover; the women took their lunch, and their double or twin rush-bottom chairs which were used for seats, also foot warm- ers. Later in the afternoon they returned to their homes. One of the old driftways from Perrineville to Cranbury went by the way of the Union House Hotel, Dis- brow Hill, which is 281 feet above mean sea level, Red Tavern, Wyckoff Mill, Cranbury Station, to Cranbury, N. J .; fourteen pairs of bars and gates were opened and closed through this driftway.


Another driftway from Cranbury to the "Old Willow Tree Tavern" at Clarks- burg, N. J., went by the way of Union Valley, Red Tavern, and thru the farms of Croshaw, Ely, Mount, Fair Play School House, Forman, Vaughn and Pullen, to the "Old Willow Tree Tavern," which accommodated the traveling public who went in the four-horse stage coaches from Philadelphia to Trenton and other in- land towns to Long Branch; those stages would stop to change horses, and stay for dinner, sometimes when heavily loaded would stop over night.


You can see one of those old twin rush-bottom chairs and foot warmers and many interesting household effects at Marlpit Hall Museum, Middletown, Middle- town Township, Monmouth County, N. J.


CHURCHES AND OLD BURYING-GROUDS


It is said that the old Scots Presbyterian Meeting House was built about 1692 of logs possibly smoothed on the outer and inner side. It is located about three miles north of Marlboro, in Marlboro Township, Monmouth County, N. J. In 1731 the old Scots congregation moved from their old Scots grounds and built their second meeting house, which was the first meeting house built on what was early called White Oak Hill, because there were numerous white oak on and around it. The meeting house was 30 feet wide, 40 feet long, was supplied with galleries, and had East, West and South entrance doors. Rev. John Tennent was the first pastor in the new meeting house on White Oak Hill; he also preached in the old Scots meeting house, in whose yard he was buried in 1732, where his tombstone may still be seen.


In 1733 Rev. William Tennent, Jr., was made pastor of the new meeting house that was built on White Oak Hill in 1731. He continued his pastorate, preaching in the Second Church built on White Oak Hill in 1751, now known as Old Tennent Church. This house was made twice as large as the former one, seating about 400 people. This is the most widely celebrated and historic house of religous worship in New Jersey, because of its Revolutionary associations and the ability and devo- tional fame of its ministers. Rev. William Tennent, Jr., who experienced a remark- able trance during his student days, died March 8, 1777, in his 72nd year. He was buried beneath the floor of the church. A marble tablet to his memory was placed in 1818 on the inner side of the church. In a leaflet, which can be obtained from the church, it is described in full with other facts. The date marking the earliest known burial in Old Tennent Cemetery is October 27, 1744, over the grave of John Matt- ison. Old Tennent is situated on the public highway between Freehold and English- town, in Manalapan Township, Monmouth County, N. J.


In 1685 the Quakers first settled at Topanemus. A Quaker meeting house was built in 1692, the first preacher coming to this vicinity being George Keith, who soon afterward abandoned the Quakers and went over to the Church of England. In 1702


.


he returned to America and came to Monmouth County, N. J., where he again preached at Topanemus. About 1738 the meeting house was taken down and some of the original timbers, pews and other parts of the interior were used in the St. Peter's Episcopal Church at Freehold, N. J., it being the oldest building there. The oldest tombstone at Topanemus burying-ground is that of Elizabeth Clark, who died December 26, 1697. Topanemus is located one mile west of Marlboro, in Marl- boro Township, Monmouth County, N. J.


The Manalapan Presbyterian Church cornerstone was laid October 10, 1855; the church was erected, and the dedication took place on July 31, 1856, the services on the occasion being conducted by the Rev. Dr. Henry, who had also led in the ceremony of the laying of the cornerstone. The cemetery adjoins the church, and the dates marking the earliest known burials are as follows: Joseph Perrine, born Octo- ber 28, 1775, died August 1, 1821; Elizabeth Cook, his wife, born January 8, 1780, died April 23, 1866; Matthew Perrine, born May 23, 1810, died September 30, 1888; James Perrine, born February 3, 1819, died March 2, 1825, sons of Joseph and Eliza- beth Cook Perrine, also William Williamson, born 1744, died 1825. Manalapan is situated on the Freehold and Hightstown highway, in Millstone Township, Mon- mouth County, N. J.


In ye old yellow Baptist meeting house and burying-ground, situated on the Clarksburg and Red Valley road, in Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth County, N. J., the oldest headstone is that of John Saltar, who died August 29, 1723, age 29 years. His footstone has a heart engraved thereon, dated 1723. A monument has been erected between the church and parsonage, bearing the following inscription: "Ye Old Yellow Meeting House. In Memory of the Pioneers of the Baptist Faith at Crosswick or Upper Freehold to perpetuate their blessed memories to future ages. Supposed site of first house of worship 1720."


The old East Branch Friends Meeting house was built in 1816 and is still standing and surrounded by its burying-ground with many old headstones. It is located about four miles west of Clarksburg on the Clarksburg and Allentown Road, in Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth County, N. J. About one hun- dred and fifty are interred there. The Newark Evening News states that Presi- dent Abraham Lincoln attended church there.


The old Brick Church of Marlboro is in Marlboro Township, Monmouth County, N. J. and first known as the Reformed Church of Navensink, afterwards as the Dutch Reformed Church of Freehold. It was formed in 1699; built in 1826. Its burying-ground surrounds the church. The oldest headstone: Helena Denise, died June 27, 1706.


The old Bethel M. E. Church, at Plainsboro, in Plainsboro Township, Middle- sex County, N. J., was built in 1812; reopened 1850; torn down in 1933. It was surrounded by its graveyard. The oldest headstones were: Helina McGhee, died May 21, 1815, age 71, and Robert Davison, died December 15, 1850, age 60.


The First Presbyterian Church of Dutch Neck (organized November 10, 1816), known as the Neck Meeting House in 1797, is located in West Windsor Township, Mercer County, N. J. The burying-ground surrounds the church. The oldest headstones were: David Slayback, died October 12, 1773, and David Cou- wenhoven, died January 29. 1771.


The Penns Neck Baptist Church is located one mile east of Princeton, in West Windsor Township, Mercer County, N. J., on the State Highway from Philadel- phia to New York. It is said that William Penn and George Washington stayed over night at the public house, now the Baptist Church parsonage. In the early days it was known as Williamsburg. In 1830 it took the name of Penns Neck. The church edifice was built in 1812; rebuilt 1877. Its burying-ground surrounds it. The oldest headstone: William Kovenhoven, born 1767, died 1838.


Perrineville burying-ground. The earliest known burial was Joseph Holman, died August 9, 1777.


The old Watson and Kear burial-plot, located about two miles north of Per- rineville, near Pine Hill, which is 295 feet above mean sea level, in Millstone Town- ship, Monmouth County, N. J., on a farm in a field under a red cedar tree, now owned by Henry Juelch. The field is now in cultivation and the brown tombstones were removed from this plot by him to his dwelling house and were laid and used

Perrine. The first store at Perrineville was established by a man from New Eng- land, before 1825, on the site of the Thomas Morford Perrine store.


In 1825 James H. Newell opened a store on the east side of Rocky Brook. The first grist mill at Perrineville was built by James H. Newell, and was owned and operated by David Perrine in 1830 and the village of Perrineville was so named for him. In 1832 he was succeeded by William Snowhill, a son-in-law of David Perrine. After two or three years he abandoned the business, and John D. Perrine opened a store on the west side in the old academy building and kept it a year or two. In 1835 the mill was sold to John M. Perrine, who operated it until 1850, when it was purchased by Nelson Silvers and later owned by Charles Allen. Since that time it has had various owners. The mill is still standing and in fairly good repair. Soon after the building of the grist mill, a sawmill was built below it on the same stream by Thomas Morford Perrine. The mill remained in possession of the Perrine family until 1882; torn down in 1885.


In 1836 William Mount built a store building and occupied it several years, he also built a wheelwright and blacksmith shop, which was operated many years by Uria Clark, David Ketcham, Robert Taylor and Charles Irwin. The buildings were destroyed by fire in 1918.


In 1852 Samuel S. Sutphin and Joseph P. Hampton operated a blacksmith and wheelwright shop on the west side of Rocky Brook; later Joseph Clark opened up a blacksmith shop on the east side of Rocky Brook. Another blacksmith shop was built by Robert Taylor and operated by him. This shop still remains. Edward Dis- brow and son operated a harness shop; James E. Allen owned and operated a general store, and was postmaster several years.


Ezekiel Davison inherited the farm at Perrineville from his parents, William and Catherine Holman Davison. The house was built in 1784 by Joseph Holman. The old cellar door was hung on wooden hinges and thumbs, and fastened with blacksmith nails, the wrought-iron hasp of which bore the rudely cut figures of 1784 and letters J. H .- at the present time in my possession.


In 1842 Ezekiel Davison opened the first distillery and hotel on his farm. It was known as the Union House. He owned and operated a wholesale and retail liquor business for several years. In those days apple whiskey and peach brandy sold for three cents a drink; apple whiskey sold for three shillings per quart. On town meeting day Mr. Davison served turkey dinners, and a social time was enjoyed by all. He was the propritor of the Union House and a man highly respected. About 1880 he sold the distillery to John J. Davison, and it was operated by him.


In 1855 Thomas Morford Perrine had a stone house and store built on the west side of the road, and a frame dwelling house was also built on the east side. The store was operated by David Watson, succeeded by Edward Allen, William Forsyth, John J. Davison, John Leming and William H. Thomas. Was destroyed by fire in 1905 while occupied by Frank Cohen. John J. Davison purchased the frame dwelling house on the east side of the road from Matthew Perrine and in exchange legal tender and fifteen barrels of apple whiskey was accepted for the property. The stillhouse was taken down by John J. Davison in 1885; a graded school was built in 1925, and a concrete tumbling dam was completed in 1936, at a cost of $14,000.


In 1882 Francis Rosteen Perrine purchased the Ezekiel Davison Homestead farm at Perrineville and moved there. His occupation was farming and fruit growing. William Davison Perrine lived at the Homestead farm; later he pur- chased a property in Trenton and settled there, being employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the State for a number of years. He has in his possession several American and foreign coins that were found on the Homestead farm, and the Union House sign, dated 1842, which has a heart painted red in the center : also, tumblers, whiskey glasses, carving knife and fork that were used by his grand- father Ezekiel Davison on town meeting day. The old Homestead, built 1784, is still standing and in a good state of preservation. It has been in the possession of the Davison and Perrrine families over 150 years.
