from a small hamlet into an incorporated city, and he was always actively interested in its progress and welfare. He was a man of strong character, positive in his tastes and fearless in the defence of his opinions, yet withal generous, frank and lovable. He possessed an artistic temperament, as was evinced by his love of flowers. For many years he had the most beautiful and care- fully cultivated flower garden in this sec- tion of the country. He was also an adept with both the pen and the brush, and many examples of his artistic skill are still pre- served which were executed by him after reaching the psalmist's limit of three-score years and ten. In personal appearance Mr. Hinchman was of short and sturdy build, of a florid complexion and possessing the ornate manners of the old-school gentle- man of his day. During his youth and early manhood he engaged actively in all forms of athletic sports, in all of which he displayed great proficiency. His penchant, however, was the use of the rifle and fowl- ing-piece, and his quickness, steady nerve and accurate eye placed him in the front rank of marksmen and wing shots. He was wont to show with pardonable pride targets made by him with the rifle at the old "Thatched Cottage" garden in Jersey City, which were marvels of marksmanship. This famous shooting range was the mecca of riflemen living in the vicinity of New York, and he once had the honor to contest there for supremacy with Davy Crockett, of Kentucky fame. Crockett was handi- capped by the use of a strange rifle and did not make the showing he might otherwise have done. Originally, Mr. Hinchman was in politics a Whig, later becoming an ardent Republican, taking an active interest in na- tional, state and municipal affairs, and al- ways having the courage to express his convictions. He never held any political office. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and obtained his degrees from the lodge that held its meetings at Berkshire Valley.
On August 16, 1816, Mr. Hinchman was united in marriage to Miss Susan Grandin DeCamp, a daughter of Joseph and Jane (Tuttle) DeCamp, the latter a lineal descendant of the "Widow Ford, who came over in the Fortune," in November, 1621. Nine children were born to them: AT infant, who died in childhood; Zerviah and Felix, who were born at Mount Pleasant; Augustus, James, Louisa and Stella, in New York; and Sophronia and another infant, the latter dying shortly after birth, at Dover. Mr. Hinchman died in the house in which he had resided since 1837, on Febru- ary 13, 1879, being then in his eighty-fourth year. He retained his mental and physical activity until the time of his death, which, in fact, resulted from a cold contracted by him while exercising a young horse under saddle during the inclement winter weather. At his own request his former pastor, Dr. B. C. Magie, preached the funeral sermon, taking as his text Genesis xxv, 8: "He died in a good old age, an old man and full of years." He was buried in the family lot in Locust Hill Cemetery, in Dover.
GREENE, Henry P.,
Old-Time Physician.
In the first half of the nineteenth cen- tury Dr. Greene was one of the most prom- inent, influential and honored citizens of Morris county. His life was characterized by all that is good and true, and the splen- did characteristics of his nature commanded the respect of all who knew him, while his memory is still cherished by those who en- joyed his friendship and his regard.
Dr. Henry Prentice Greene was born in Calais, Vermont, December 1, 1798, and was of English descent, belonging to one of the oldest American families. In direct line his ancestry can be traced back to Thomas Greene, who was born in England in 1606, and emigrated to the New World about 1635. His son, Captain William Greene, was born in Ipswich, Massachu-

setts, in 1635, and was the father of Wil- liam Greene, who was born in Malden, Massachusetts, in 1661. The last named had a son, Captain Nathaniel Greene, who was born in Malden, September 28, 1689, and served as captain of the first foot com- pany of Leicester, in 1743. His son, Rev. Nathaniel Greene, the grandfather of Dr. Henry P. Greene, was born in Charlestown End, in 1721, and his son, Rufus Greene, was a native of Leicester, Massachusetts, born April 10, 1762. He married Keziah Eddy, of Brookfield, Massachusetts, a rep- resentative of one of the old New England families.
Dr. Greene received a thorough prepara- tory training in public and private schools, and was for some years successfully en- gaged in teaching. Determining, however, to make the practice of medicine his life work, he began his preparation for his chosen calling in the office and under the direction of Drs. Jepthah B. Munn & Whelpley, of Morristown, and was gradu- ated at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, of New York. He then be- gan practice in New Vernon, Morris county, in April, 1826, and removed to Madison in 1828, at the request of the most prominent citizens of the place. He continued his practice there for thirty years, and his su- perior ability in the line of his chosen pro- fession brought him a very large patronage. He was always a student of his profession, earnestly doing all in his power to gain per- fection in his work and thus bring relief to suffering humanity. He was a man of deep sympathy and had a sincere love for his fellow-men that led him to do all in his power for those whom he served, and often he was found at the bedside of a sufferer from whom no financial reward might be hoped. In his political predilections Dr. Greene was a Whig, and was honored with a number of local offices. He held mem- bership in the Presbyterian church, and for a number of years served as a member of its board of trustees and took a very active
part in promoting its cause in the neighbor- hood. His moral standard was high and he lived up to it. His word was as good as his bond; he was the soul of honor, and the better one knew him the greater the respect, the warmer the friendship sustained for him. His life was that of a big-souled, large-minded, noble-hearted Christian gen- tleman.
Dr. Greene was married, August 15, 1829, to Sarah Joanna Crowell, born April 12, 1803, a native of Newark, and a daughter of David and Mehitable (Beach) Crowell, of Newark. They were the parents of six children, three of whom grew to maturity : Mary Augusta; Everett M., born October 5, 1834, died March 15, 1855; and Alice Linden. Dr. Greene owned a pleasant home in Madison, and forty acres of land which now lies within the heart of that city. He was a man of domestic tastes, and found his greatest pleasure in promoting the hap- piness and enhancing the welfare of his family. He died October 15, 1858, and his wife, who was a most estimable lady, great- ly beloved for her many excellencies of character, died April 20, 1851.

VANATTA, Hon. Jacob, Lawyer, Public Official.
Hon. Jacob Vanatta was born on the banks of the Musconetcong, near Washing- ton, Warren county, New Jersey, June 4, 1824. He early devoted all the time he could possibly spare to study and the im- provement of his mind.
He had always desired to embrace the profession of the law, and in 1845 he en- tered the law office of Theodore Little as a student. He was licensed as an attorney in October, 1849, and as a counsellor in February, 1853. From the very first he had an extended and lucrative practice. He quickly assumed a leading position, and in a short time became the foremost lawyer in Morris county. There was scarcely an important case tried in the county, after

his admission to the bar, that he was not connected with. In all his cases he was painstaking and he expended upon them an amount of thought and labor truly won- derful. His practice grew, until at the time of his death it was probably the largest in the state. His reputation advanced with his practice, and for years he stood at the head of the New Jersey bar, as an able, faithful, conscientious and untiring advo- cate and counsel.
During the later years of his life Mr. Vanatta's time and services were largely monopolized by the great corporations of the country; he had become the regular counsel of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, the Central Railroad Company, and more or less of many other corporations, and his engage- ments carried him frequently before the highest courts of New York and Pennsyl- vania and the United States Supreme Court.
Mr. Vanatta was always a firm, con- sistent and unwavering Democrat. He was the recognized head of the party in his county, and all over the State was for years regarded as one of its ablest men. In 1856 he was a delegate to the National Conven- tion that nominated Buchanan. In the memorable struggle of 1860 he adhered to the fortunes of Stephen A. Douglas, and was chairman of the Douglas State Com- mittee ; as such he refused to join the fusion ticket, and thus succeeded in dividing the electoral vote of the State between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas. During the war he followed his chieftain, and was through- out a war Democrat. At the convention which nominated General McClellan for Governor he was appointed chairman of the State committee, a position he held at the time of his death.
Mr. Vanatta held few public positions ; he was a member of the House of As- sembly in the years 1862 and 1863, and in the latter year was a candidate for the nomination for United States Senator
against the late William Wright, only fail- ing by a vote or two in the Democratic caucus. He was frequently urged to accept gubernatorial or congressional nominations, but always declined. At different times he refused tendered positions on the Supreme bench of the State. He was appointed at- torney-general by the Governor, but after holding the office for about fifteen months was compelled to resign it because of the immense pressure of his private practice.
In October, 1852, Mr. Vanatta married a daughter of Dr. Aaron Dickerson, of Phila- delphia ; she was also a niece of General Mahlon Dickerson, General Jackson's secre- tary of the navy and ex-Governor of New Jersey. In private life Mr. Vanatta was kind and obliging ; he was a safe and judici- ous adviser, a faithful and steadfast friend, a good citizen and an honest man. His life was doubtless sacrificed to his un- wearied zeal and industry in his profession. At the same time his whole life furnished a remarkable instance of what ability, at- tended with industry and study, can accom- plish in overcoming adverse circumstances.
The malady which occasioned Mr. Va- natta's death was Bright's disease of the kidneys. He died at his residence in Mor- ristown, April 30, 1879. The funeral ser- vices, held at the First Presbyterian Church, were attended by the State officers, judges of the Supreme Court, and men eminent in every walk of life. Impressive discourses were delivered by the Rev. Rufus S. Green, pastor of the church, and the Rev. David Irving, D. D., a former pastor.
Resolutions setting forth in fitting terms the high estimate in which the deceased was held by his colleagues were passed at meet- ings of the Essex county and Morris county bars. The addresses of Theodore Little, Hon. Augustus W. Cutler, Alfred Mills, Frederick A. De Mott and James H. Neigh- bour, delivered at the meeting of the Morris county bar, were most eloquent and touch- ing personal tributes to the eminent worth

and character of their late colleague and brother, and a most fitting expression of their personal grief at the loss occasioned by his death.
BUDD, Joseph,
Manufacturer, Legislator.
Hon. Daniel Budd was one of the most influential of the citizens of Chester, both in business and political circles. He filled many positions of trust, and did much to develop the resources and increase the pros- perity of his native town. Like his father and his grandfather, he lived and died in Chester, and the activities of his entire life were closely identified with the interests of his native place. His ancestor, John Budd, five generations before, emigrated from England to New Haven, about the year 1632, and became one of the first proprietors of that settlement. He subsequently re- moved to Southold, Long Island, and thence to Rye, Westchester county, New York.
Daniel Budd, the grandfather of the sub- ject of our sketch, moved from Rye, New York, together with his father, John Budd, in the early part of the eighteenth century, and purchased the old Budd farm, near Black river. His mother was Mary Strang (L'Estrange), daughter of a French Hugue- not, who fled from France on account of religious persecution, in the days of Louis XIV. and found refuge at New Rochelle, Connecticut. Romantic stories of danger and escape have been handed down from generation to generation. This Daniel Budd was for a long time assessor of the township of Roxiticus, and a captain in the reserves of the Revolutionary War. On one oc- casion, during his absence on duty his house was burned, under circumstances which led to the suspicion that it was an act of re- venge on the part of the Tories.
Joseph Budd, son of this Daniel, and father of Hon. Daniel Budd, was a captain in the War of 1812. He commanded his company at Sandy Hook and other places of
defense. His wife was Joanna Swayzee, and after her husband had lost his health during the war, which he never recovered, she endeavored bravely to fill his place in many of the active duties of farm life. Their son, Daniel, was born June 8, 1809. When a boy he had much of the charge of his invalid father, and after his death remained with his mother upon the farm as long as she lived. He was married, February 25, 1847, to Mary K. Hunt, daughter of John Hunt, of Newton, Sussex county, and sis- ter of Hon. Samuel H. Hunt. He was en- gaged at various times in many avenues of active business-being a farmer, manufac- turer, surveyor, drover, colonel of cavalry, and a general business man, settling estates and holding positions of confidence. He was always prominent in the political af- fairs of his township, and for many years was returned as a freeholder, and in the board of freeholders always exercised a commanding influence. In the years 1856- 1857 he was a member of the New Jersey Legislature, and in the years 1860-61-62 he filled the office of State senator. While senator he was chairman of the committee on corporations, and a member of other im- portant committees, and was chosen State director of the Camden and Amboy Rail- road. For many years he carried on the business of manufacturing malleable iron, and devoted much time and energy to the development of the mineral resources of Chester. To him may be attributed largely the building and completion of the Chester Railroad.
He was a friend to the poor, ever ready to contribute to their wants, and to assist those who were struggling in business, and he was a liberal supporter of the church and of public enterprises. He erected many buildings for manufacturing purposes, and took the warmest interest in the cause of education. In 1869 he erected in the village a large three-story stone building for the use of a boarding school, at a cost of many thousand dollars.

He died in June, 1873, at the age of sixty- four, leaving a wide breach in the com- munity where he had lived and labored; and an immense concourse of people, gathered
from various parts of the State, accom- panied his remains to their last resting place in the cemetery of Pleasant Hill.

ADDENDA AND ERRATA
Forman, Foreman, p. 235. Names were subject to many changes, and there is a reason, however, for the Foreman, as in early times, when conditions suggested names, twins having been born to the Marie Antoinette family, the first one was called Foreman, hence the name. On the tombstones (usually correct) Forman is in evidence at Old Scots burying ground at Wickoff Hill and at Old Tennent Church. Robert Foreman signed his will at Oyster Bay with a double f, as ff, but High Sheriff Samuel, grandson of Robert Foreman, gave his name as Samuel For- man, dropping the e, and from that time it has been so used.
