PREFACE.
A "PREFACE" is not generally, as the word seems to imply, the beginning of a book, except as to its location, inasmuch as it embraces the last words that come from the author's pen and is the last-with the title-page and contents-to be printed. This enables the writer to have a final word with his readers, even after the book proper is completed. In this instance the opportu- nity will be used in returning our grateful acknowledgments to the many citizens of the two counties who have assisted in the preparation of this volume.
We are particularly indebted to Hon. Thomas Lawrence, D. S. Anderson, Esq., Hon. Sam- nel H. Hunt, Thomas G. Bunnell, David Thompson, Esq., John T. Stewart, Richard F. Good- man, Thomas Kays, Esq., Jonathan Havens, M.D., George H. Nelden, Theodore Morford, Thomas Ryerson, M.D., William M. Smith, Maj. William R. Mattison, Rev. A. A. Haines, of Sussex County ; and to Hon. James M. Robeson, Hon. William H. Morrow, Hon. Samuel Sherrerd, Jehiel S. Shipman, Esq., Judge J. T. Kern, Hon. John I. Blair, Charles E. Vail, Charles Scranton, J. V. Creveling, John Simerson, Josiah Ketcham, Rev. E. C. Cline, B. F. Howey, Oscar Jeffery, Judge P. H. Hann, J. E. Fulper, Joseph A. Shrope, Augustus H. Del- liker, Caleb II. Valentine, Ziba Osmun, Israel Harris, Drs. Brakeley, Johnson, Griffith, Cook, and Clark, of Warren County ; and Hon. Henry C. Kelsey, Trenton, etc .*
The list of those who have contributed to, and in various ways aided in the preparation of, this work is so large that we may be pardoned for not attempting to enumerate each individually. But to the members of the press generally, and the various representatives of the clerical, legal, and medical professions, in Sussex and Warren Counties, we are particularly indebted. The old residents-descendants of the early pioneers-have also nobly come to our aid, placing at our disposal much that is rare and ancient in documents and verbal lore, and which must prove of inestimable value in the future. The efficient and polite county officials have rendered valuable assistance, especially in the documentary portions of the work and in the compilation of the county and township civil lists. So generally and so generously has encouragement been given to our labors that we can charitably overlook the very few exceptions.
Conscientious labor has been bestowed upon this history, with a view to make it as thorough and accurate as possible. These endeavors have been prosecuted often in the face of obstacles,-
* Many acknowledgments are specially made in the various departments of this volume.

PREFACE.
loss of records, imperfect recollections, and conflicting accounts,-and we trust that a charitable public will keep this in view in passing judgment upon this volume, the result of these efforts. Our work has been performed as if it was not for the day only, but for all coming time; and it is safe to assume that these gathered annals will grow in value with each passing year.
To the author's zealous and able staff of writers much credit is also due, particularly to Prof. W. W. Clayton, who with skill and care has told the tale of the birth, infancy, and de- velopment of this country, as found in the general history chapters of Sussex and Warren Coun- ties ; also to Messrs. W. H. Shaw, E. O. Wagner, D. Schwartz, etc., who have labored in the special department of township and borough histories.
The publishers have embodied in this handsome volume the historical manuscripts which the author and his numerous assistants have gathered and edited, and with our best wishes they now go back, on the printed page, to the citizens of Sussex and Warren.
