OLD DOVER TOWNSHIP.
Dover township at one time embraced a large pro- portion of the present county of Ocean, as it extended from Metetecunk river on the north to Oyster Creek, be- tween Forked River and Waretown on the south, and from the ocean to the Burlington county line in width.
The Town Book of old Dover, containing lists of of- ficers from 1783 down to 1861, was found among the books and papers of the late Washington McKean by his son-in-law, Charles W. Potter. Since the decease of the last named gentleman, it is probable this book will be deposited in the office of the County Clerk at Toms River. The town officials named in it were officials representing a large proportion of the present county. In their day they were the prominent public men of what is now Ocean county, and many of their names are herein recorded.
The village of Toms River was burned in March, 1782. The record in the Town Book begins with the first town meeting after that event.

HISTORY OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES.
The following town meeting proceedings are copied from the old Dover Town Book :

Town meetings were held annually at the residence of ‹lifferent citizens, and the ordinary public business, which was of course limited in character, transacted.
At the annual meeting held March 13, 1787, the town agreed to raise an assessment on the inhabitants of Dover for the support of the poor this year, the sum of fifty pounds ( £50).
The following items appear in later records :
At the town meeting held March 11, 1788, it was or- ‹lered as follows :
" The town has agreed to pay the last county money that was ordered to be raised, out of the dog tax that was raised for the year 1787. Also the money that Abra- ham Platt is indebted to the town is to pay the debts of the town."
In 1792 the following record appears:
"1792. Be it remembered that the township of Dover has entered into a resolve this thirteenth day of March, 1792, that all foreigners who shall come within our bay to oyster shall be entitled to pay to the township of Dover for the support of the poor, two pence for every bushel of oysters taken on board by said vessels. Also, John Price and John Woodmansee are appointed by said

At the annual meeting, March 10, 1795, "John Yet- man was cleared from tax on account of blindness of his wife."
The following record appears in the proceedings of the town meeting held at the house of John Millar, March 10, 1798:
The town poor were put out for the year as follows : "Gilbert Lane took one man for £12 ; the town to find him clothes, and Lane to make and mend for him and find him in tobacco. John Worth took a woman for £16, the town to find her clothes and Worth to find her tobacco."
A special town meeting was held April 3, 1799, at the house of John Wildes, when-
" It was resolved to amend the law about striking fish, so that it shall be lawful to strike any fish except sheeps- head until June 10th, yearly.
354

" Resolved, That the members of the Township Com- mittee be allowed one dollar per day for services. Wil- liam E. Imlay reported expenditures for the poor to the amount of £36 12s. 2d., and that he had in hand of town money, €111 13s. 2d., from which expenses deducted for poor would leave 575."
The next year it was resolved that " the next town meeting be held at the house where William E. Imlay now lives. Also, that the law about striking fish be re- pealed in full. " Constables in those days were required to give bonds in the sum of one thousand dollars.
The following is a list of Presiding Officers, or Moderators, as they were called, and Town Clerks of Dover, from 1846 to 1861, when the records in the old Town Book cease :

The record of cattle marks and of estrays in the old Dover Town Book gives the names of many old residents not found elsewhere in the book, and in some cases, the parts of the township where they resided.
NAVESINK.
The following description of the Navesink lands was written March 4, 1650, by Secretary Van Tienhoven, of New Amsterdam, and sent to Holland :
"In the bay of the North river, about two leagues from Sandy Hook, lies an inlet or small bay; on the south shore of said bay called Neyswesincks, there is also right good maize lands which have not been culti- vated by the natives for a long time. This district is

well adapted for raising and feeding all sorts of cattle and is esteemed by many as not ill adapted for fisheries ; a good trade in furs could also be carried on there and 'tis likewise accessible to all large vessels coming from sea which are often obliged to lie to or anchor behind Sandy Hook, either in consequence of contrary winds or from want of a pilot."
[NOTE .- Information relative to taking up land in the form of colonies or private bouweries, N. Y. Col. Hist. vol. 1, p. 360. 1
According to the familiar story of Penelope Stout, the first attempt to settle in Monmouth was about 1648, when Richard Stout and family, and five Dutch families, six in all, settled where Middletown now is and they remained there about five or six years when they were compelled to leave on account of Indian troubles.
In O'Callaghan's History of New Netherlands is a list of patents for land granted by the Dutch between 1630 and 1664; among them is one to Cornelius Van Werckhoven, granted November 7, 1651, for " A Colonie at Nevisinks." In a letter from Werckhoven to Baron Von der Capellen, in Albany Records vol. 8, p. 27, he says the lands about Nevisinks and Raritan Kills had been purchased for him in 1649 and had not been allotted to him. Werckhoven did not come to this country until 1652. His agent in purchasing these lands was Angus- tine, or Augustus Heermans, a prominent citizen of New Amsterdam. As Heermans received directions in 1649 from Werckhoven, then in Utrecht, Holland, to purchase the lands, the presumption is that he had previously visited the Navesink Indians and ascertained from them their willingness to part with the lands and on what conditions, and also that his object was to establish "A Colonie at Navesink." The time of his doing this must have been about the time the Stout tradition says an effort was made to plant a colony at Middletown.
. Heer Werckhoven came over to this country in 1652. His right to the lands was disputed by Baron Hendrick Vander Capellan, who alleged that he had previously
356
HISTORY OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES.
bought lands on south side of the Raritan claimed by Werekhoven and the matter was referred to the Amster- dam Chambers; their decision being adverse to Werck- hoven, he then directed his attention to establishing the settlement of New Utrecht on Long Island, near Graves- end. The first house put up in New Utrecht was one by Jacob Swart, of Gravesend, who tore down his house at the latter place and removed it to the new settlement. Augustine Heermans had also purchased this land for Werckhoven, and it is evident that he must have been acquainted at Gravesend with the settlers, of whom, in 1657, Richard Stout seems to have been one of the largest land owners.
In the " account of a voyage to Navesink" in 1663, given in Brodhead's History of New York and White- head's East Jersey, it is alleged that an attempt to purchase lands in Monmouth of the Navesink Indians in 1663 was made by a party of twenty Englishmen from Gravesend, L. I., among whom it names John Bowne, James Hubbard, John Tilton, Samuel Speer, Thomas Whitelock, Sergeant Richard Gibbons, and Charles Morgan. This account indicates that the English party were at that time acquainted along the shores of the Raritan Bay and around in by the Highlands.
It is stated in Brodhead's History of New York that in the year 1650 an effort was made to induce Baron Hendrick van de Capellan of Ryssell and several Amster- dam merchants to form an association for the coloniza- tion of Staten Island and its neighborhood and a ship was fitted out, but the expedition proved a failure. But an agent of Van Capellan, named Dericklagen, shortly after purchased for him lands "on the south side of the Raritan river"; one reason alleged for this purchase was that it would tend to the better security of a colony planted on Staten Island. This was probably in 1651. During the same year Augustus Heermans purchased for Cornelius Van Werckhoven, an influential member of the provincial government of Utrecht, a tract also " on the south side of the Raritan opposite Staten Island."

EARLY NAVIGATORS.
EARLY NAVIGATORS.
In' speaking of early navigators, Rev. John Howard Hinton, in the Hist. of the United States, says: "It is a circumstance too remarkable to be umnoticed, that England, Spain and France all derived their transatlantic possessions from the science and energy of Italian navi- gators, although not a single colony was ever planted in the newly discovered continent by the inhabitants of Italy. Columbus, a Genoese, acquired for Spain a coloni- al dominion great enough to satisfy the most craving ambition ; but reaping no personal advantage from his labors, excepting an unprofitable fame, after having been ignominiously driven from the world he had made known to Europeans, he died in poverty and disgrace. Cabot, a Venetian, sailing in the service of England, conferred on that nation a claim, the magnitude and importance of which he never lived to comprehend. Verazzani, a Florentine, explored America for the benefit of France ; but sailing hither a second time for the purpose of establishing a colony, he perished at sea."
One account of Verazzani states that he landed at some place not named with some of his crew and was seized by the savages and killed and devoured in the presence of his companions on board, who sought in vain to give assistance. Such was the fate of the navi- gator who gave us the first notice of the harbor of New York and adjacent territory.
In that noted ancient work, "Hakluyt's Voyages," (vol. 3, p. 7,) is a statement from Cabot as follows : "When my father left Venice to dwell in England to follow the trade of merchandise, he took me with him to the Citie of London, while I was very young, yet having neverthe- less some knowledge of letters and humanitie and of the Sphere. And when my father died in that time when news were brought of Don Christopher Columbus, Genoese, had discovered the coasts of India, whereof was great talk in all the court of Henry VII, who then reigned, insomuch that all men with great admiration
358
HISTORY OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES.
affirmed it to be a thing more divine than human to sail by the West into the East, where spices grow, by a map that never was known before, by this same and report, there increased in my heart a great flame of desire to attempt some notable thing."
The following extract is from page 6, vol. 3, of same work :
" In the yere of Our Lord, 1497, John Cabot and his sonne Sebastian (with an English fleet set out from Bristol), discovered that land which no man before this time had attempted, on the twenty-fourth of June, about five of the clock early in the morning. This land he called Prima Vista, that is to say First Seen, because I suppose it was that part whereof they had the first sight from the sea. That island which lieth out before the land, he called the Island of St. John, upon which occa- sion, as I think, because it was discovered upon the day of St. John the Baptist."
The probability is that Cabot sailed northwest a few weeks until his progress was arrested by floating icebergs, when he shaped his course to the southwest and soon came in sight of the shore, named by him Prima Vista, and generally believed to be some part of Labrador or New Foundland. Thence he steered northward again to the sixty-seventh degree of latitude, where he was obliged to turn back by the discontent of his crew. He sailed along the coast in search of an outlet, as far as the neighborhood of the Gulf of Mexico, when a mutiny broke out in the ship's company, in consequence of which the further prosecution of the voyage was abandoned. Some accounts state that Cabot reached England with several savages and a valuable cargo while other writers assert that he never landed. It is certain he did not attempt any conquest or settlement in the countries he discovered. And this is the substance of Cabot's dis- coveries, on which England based her claim.

TOWNSHIPERS.
The names of such as are entered as township men : John Bird, Bashan, Thomas Cox, Daniel Estill, James Grover, Jr., William Goulding, John Hall, Randall Huet, Sr., Randall Huet, Jr., Barth (?) Lippencott, Ed- mund Laphetres, William Lawrence, William Layten, Francis Masters, Henry Perey, Anthony (?) Page, Richard Sadler, William Shearman, Samuel Spicer, John Stout, Job Throckmorton.
The settlement with William Reape, James Grover, John Tilton and others in July, 1670, gives the names only of those who were considered first purchasers ; it does not include the names of all who had settled in the county at that date. In the office of the Proprietors of East Jer- sey, at Perth Amboy, is a list of persons who took the oath of allegiance in 1668 ; this list is also given in the first volume of New Jersey Archives. And this does not give the names of all settlers, as all would not subscribe to the oath presented by the Proprietors ; and only two are named at Middletown. But it contains some names not found in the settlements above named. The list is as follows :
THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE

In the list as copied in New Jersey Archives, the name of Thomas Wainwright is erroneously given as Thomas Wansick ; the copy at Perth Amboy has it Thomas Wanrite, which was meant for Thomas Wain- right, who was a settler at the time.
FIRST PURCHASERS.
The following persons named among first pur- chasers, did not settle in Monmouth, though members of the families of most of them came here :
Job Almy, Richard Borden, Samuel Borden, Gerrard Bourne, John Bowne of Flushing, L. L., Francis Brinley, Joseph Bryer, Henry Bull, Walter Clarke, Thomas Clif- ton, William Codington, Joshua Coggeshall, John Cooke, Nicholas Davis, Thomas Dungan, Peter Easton (or Esson), Gideon Freeborne, Zachary Gauntt, William Gifford, Daniel Gould, Ralph Gouldsmith, Thomas Hart, Samnel Holeman, Obadiah Holmes, John Horndell, Wil- liam James, John Jenkins, James Leonard, Mark Encar, Thomas Moor, William Shackerly, Benjamin Speare. Nathaniel Silvester, Robert Story, John Tilton, Nathaniel Tomkins, Edward Thurston, Marmaduke Ward, George Webb, Edward Wharton.
William Goulding, one of the patentees, remained at Gravesend until 1693, when he sold out there and it is supposed that then in his oll age he came to Monmonth to live with relatives.
William Reape, another patentee, died in 1670; his widow and children settled in Monmonth.
SETTLERS OF MIDDLETOWN.
The Town Book of Old Middletown, in its first entry dated December 30, 1667, shows that the home lots laid
