Signed by Order, JOHN PIERSON1 WILLIAM TENNENT.2
1 For a sketch of the Rev. John Pierson, see N. J. Archives, XIX., 274, note.
2 William Tennent was born at Antrim, in the North of Ireland, June 3, 1/05, the son of the Rev. William Tennent, who married, May 15, 1702, a daughter of the Rev. Gilbert Kennedy. The Rev. William Tennent came to America in September, 1716, with his wife, four sons and a daughter. He was the founder of the famous "Log College," that celebrated training school for Presbyterian ministers, among whom his own four sons were justly distinguished. He died May 6, 1746.
William Tennent, 2d, is most widely known from the story that has been told of his falling into a trance for three days, during which time "he felt himself wafted along under the guidance of a superior being, till at a distance he beheld an unutterable glory; he saw an innumer- able host of happy beings, and heard their songs of praise with rap- ture. He thought, 'Well, blessed be God, I am safe at last, notwith- standing all my fears.' 'He was about to join the happy company, when someone came to him and said, 'You must go back.' It was like a sword through his heart; with the shock he awoke." Having stud- ied divinity with his brother Gilbert, he was ordained October 25, 1733. He married the widow of John Noble, of New York. He took a deep interest in the mission of David and John Brainerd among the Indians of New Jersey. A notorious horse thief. Tom Bell, having imperson- ated the Rev. John Rowland, and in that guise ridden off with a fine animal, Mr. Rowland was indicted for the theft, in 1741. Mr. Tennent and two of his elders testified on the trial that at the time of the theft they were in company with Mr. Rowland in Maryland, one hun- dred miles or more from the scene of Tom Bell's exploit. Rowland was thereupon acquitted, but by a curious perversion of justice Ten- nent was indicted for perjury. The story handed down by tradition is that on the day appointed for trial a man and a woman arrived from Maryland, having been miraculously warned in a dream that they must come to Trenton to avert impending danger to Mr. Tennent: they knew that his account was true. Thereupon the prosecution was abandoned. These extraordinary occurrences were narrated in a manuscript addressed to Elias Boudinot, LL. D., by Dr. Thomas Hen- derson, a physician of Freehold, who was not born until more than ten years after the time laid for the trance, and a year or two after

GENTLEMEN,
----
I am much obliged to you for your kind Congratula- tions on my safe Arrival in this Province, and for your expressions of the good Opinion you have conceived of me. The Maintenance of religious Liberty is expedient in all his Majesty's Dominions; but is most essentially necessary among a People composed of Persons of many different Persuasions; I shall therefore be very careful to preserve your religious as well as your civil Liberties, and shall use the best Means to promote that Spirit of Benevolence, and brotherly Love, which is the true and proper Character of the good Christian. I thank you for your good Wishes, and shall endeavor to deserve them, by a conscientious Execution of the great Trust that is reposed in me; by which Means only I can ex- pect those Rewards that are promised to good and faith- ful Servants.

the horse-stealing episode. He received the stories from his father, an elder in Mr. 'T'ennent's church, who died in 1771. Dr. Henderson's MS. is in the library of the N. J. Historical Society. It was communi- cated by Dr. Boudinot to the Evangelical Intelligencer, and published in 1806, under the title "Memoirs of the Rev. William 'lennent, late pas- tor of the Presbyterian Church at Freehold, New-Jersey," and thence transferred to book form, running through numerous editions. Many publishers subjoined the attractive addendum to the title: "In which is contained, among other interesting particulars, An Account of his being THREE DAYS in a TRANCE, and apparently lifeless." An edition printed at Salem, Mass., in 1814, is a very small 12mo, 3x5 inches, pp. 129. A Wilmington edition, 1819, contains 72 pp., in much smaller type, and is 31/2x51/2 inches. In a paper read before the N. J. Historical Soci- ety, September 11, 1851, the late Judge Richard S. Field gave some interesting details regarding the defence of Mr. Tennent on the indict- ment for perjury, in 1742, and expressed the belief that the two mirac- ulous witnesses had been hunted up and brought forward through the well-directed intelligence and energy of his counsel, three of the ablest lawyers in the country .- N. J. Hist. Soc. Proc., VI., 30. Mr. Tennent's manner "was remarkably impressive, and his sermons, though seldom polished, were generally delivered with indescribable power; what he said seldom failed to instruct and please. He was remarkable for a pointed attention to the particular circumstances of the afflicted in body and mind. Eminent as a peacemaker, all were charmed with his converse. His hospitality and domestic enjoyments were pro- verbial. More than six feet high, of a spare, thin visage, erect car- riage, with bright, piercing eves, his countenance was grave and sol- emn, yet at all times cheerful. He lived above the world, with such clear views of heavenly things as seemed to give him a foretaste of them."-M(moir. He died March 8, 1777.

Extract of a Letter from an Officer who went with Colonel PETER SCHUYLER to Canada, agreeable to their Parole (and who left Albany for that Purpose about the 20th of July last) dated at Montreal, August 1, 1758.
"You will have heard no Doubt e'er now, That Col. Schuyler is authorized by General Abercrom- bie to exchange both himself and me, and three other King's Officers, who have been some Time Prisoners in Canada: this Exchange the Governor of Canada has accepted without Hesitation, and has assured us it will take Place whenever he receives our General's Answer to the Proposals he now makes him, for a general Ex- change of all the Soldiers and Inhabitants, Prisoners on both Sides; and as each Party, are, no doubt, equally desirous to have their People, this cannot miss to take Place as soon as the Prisoners can be collected together and brought to the Place agreed on, which is thought cannot exceed a Month at farthest; till which Time the Colonel and myself are to remain at Montreal, where all the Prisoners they have are to be assembled."

1 Benjamin Williams was a descendant of Matthew Williams, who was of Weathersfield, Conn., in 1636, and whose son, Matthew, was born in 1652 or 1653. The latter was among the Branford colonists who agreed to settle in Newark, but he went to Long Island, and thence to Barba- does, whence he was granted a ticket of migration to the Colonies, Jan. 14, 1678. He was admitted to Newark as a planter in 1680. In 1686 he took up land near the mountain-now Orange-and there he died, Nov. 12, 1732, in his eighty-first year. His oldest son, Amos Williams, lived on his father's place, and died there in 1754, aged 63 years. The oldest son of Amos was Benjamin, who is said to have been fourteen years old at his father's death. This must be an error, if he was the Benjamin Williams who in 1758 advertised a runaway negro servant. Benjamin, son of Amos, had a saw-mill, a cider mill and distillery, a tannery, cur- rying shop and shoe shop. He took a protection from the British when they marched through Newark in December, 1776, and on Feb. 27, 1777. took the oath of allegiance to the King and joined the Royal militia in New York. He soon became dissatisfied, or was persuaded by his patriot cousin, Captain Thomas Williams, to forsake his new allies, for on August 4, 1777, he renounced allegiance to the King, and took the oath of fidelity to the State of New Jersey. Thereafter he was quiescent during the war, his sympathies with the British, while pru- dence bade him be loyal to the country. So many of his relatives were of his mind that their neighborhood is to this day known as "Tory Corner." He died in 1826 .- Wickes's History of the Oranges, 50, 274, 308.
