Society of Descendants of the First Settlers in the Hassair Halley
1916
Spriety of Descendants of the First Settlers in the Hassair Halley
The first meeting of this Society will be held in the Assembly Room of the New Jersey Historical Society, 16 W. Park Street,
Newark, N. J.,
Saturday, November 18, 1916, at 10 A. M.
The morning will be devoted to registering members, organizing the Society and outlining its future policy.
At 1.30 p. m. a luncheon will be served.
The afternoon will be given up to family reunions, sociability, and the business of getting acquainted.
The basis of membership will be an ancestor named in Littell's "Gene- alogies of the First Settlers in the Passaic Valley."
The objects of this Society are:
1. To make the organization a center of information on all matters of descent by gathering and completing family records and histories and preserving them in a place of safety.
2. To search for and identify places and objects associated with the early settlers and mark those of importance with fitting memorials, and to secure and preserve photographs or pictures of persons, houses, and places connected with the early history of this section.
3. To promote social intercourse and friendship among families of the members.
To assist in the promotion of these objects, will you donate to the Society any old records, deeds, wills, or other valuable documents in your possession; or, if you do not wish to part with them will you make exact copies or photo-
graphic reproductions of them and forward them? Such documents, when assembled from various sources and compared, are often very serviceable in clearing up obscure points of family history.
The Society contemplates a search for old deeds and a survey of the Valley and vicinity to identify and mark with suitable memorials as many places connected with the history of the settlers as possible. This will be expensive and will require more than the income from the regular dues. There- fore, the Society will be pleased to receive from those who can afford it gifts of money, which will be gratefully acknowledged and appropriated to this purpose alone.
Will you carefully write out your family tree in the Application Blank that will be sent you as soon as you signify your intention of joining the Society?
Membership from the following families is already promised:
Allen, Badgley, Baker, Brown, Clark, Coddington, Craig, Crane, Day, Drake, Frazee, Kirkpatrick, Little, Littell, Lambert, Martin, Moore, Mulford, Parrot, Roll, Randolph, Smith, Stites, Titus, Townley, Vail, Wilcox,-and more to be heard from.
The success of the Society is assured. The meeting promises to be an historic event.
It will be an All American Society.
Wives or husbands who may not be eligible to membership will be welcome at the meeting. Bring as many members of your family as you wish.
Will you join the Society? Communicating Membership is designed for those who cannot be present in person.
Will you attend this meeting?
How many will you bring with you?
Do you know of any others to whom we can send circulars?
An early response is requested that we may know how many to pro- vide for.
The books, records, and relics of the N. J. Historical Society will well repay a visit.

Park Street.
The change from Plainfield, as first announced, to Newark, has been made for the convenience of the greatest number.

AN APPEAL
FOR THE SOCIETY OF DESCENDANTS OF THE FIRST SETTLERS IN THE PASSAIC VALLEY.
Dear Member :
You know with what bright prospects our Society began in 1916, and how, be- fore a year' passed, the superior claims of our Country eansed us to suspend our activities.
Now, that day for the Fourth Annual Meeting approaches, it is time to revive our Society and to take up the work we laid aside temporarily. Therefore I am sending you this appeal to rally to the sup- port of the Passaic Valley Society and place it upon the footing whereon it de- serves to stand. Let me urge you to show by your presence that your interest in the men and women who gave you an honored ancestry is undiminished.
Will you come to the Annual Meeting in the rooms of the New Jersey Historical Society on Park Street, Newark, at 2 P. M., Saturday, September 27, 1919.
If you cannot attend, will you write me a letter assuring me of your continued interest and that you will keep up your membership ?
We need many new members, will you propose at least one ?
At the meeting I shall propose for your consideration a plan for the enlargement of the scope of the Society.
For the good of S. D. F. S. P. V.,
SIDNEY H. MOORE, Gov., 706 W. 180th St., New York.

DEDICATED TO THE
Memory of the courageous men and women who, for principle and conscience, abandoned home and country, and founded an empire devoted to human liberty in this Western World ; and to their descendants, who have preserved the virtues and emulated the heroism of their ancestors.
JOHN WHITEHEAD.
Morristown, N. J ..
October, 1901.
" I see the white sails on the main; I see, on all the strands, Old Europe's exiled households crowd, and toil's mmumbered hands- From Hessenland and Frankenland, from Danube, Drave, and Rhine, From Netherland, my sea-born land, and the Norseman's hills of pine, From Thames, and Shannon, and their isles- and never, sure, before, Invading hosts such greeting found upon a stranger shore. The Generous Genius of the West his welcome proffers free; 'T is a good land to fall in with, men, and a pleasant land to see !
" They learn to speak one language; and they raise one flag adored Over one people evermore, and guard it with the sword; In gay hours gazing on its four and fourty stars above, And hail it with a thousand songs of glory and of love. Old airs of many a fatherland still mingle with the cheer, To make the love more glowing still, the glory still more dear- Drink up-seas out ! join hands about ! bear chorus all," chants he; " "T is a good land to fall in with, men, and a pleasant land to see !" -Ancient Chronicles.
