2 Thomas Bartow was the eldest son of Rev. John Bartow, the first rector of St. Peter's church, Westchester, New York, his mother being a Miss Reid, probably a sister of John Reid, of Perth Amboy. His parents were married in 1705. His grandfather was Gen. Bertaut, a French Protestant, who fled from France to England in 1685. Thomas Bartow was a merchant at Perth Amboy, and dealt largely in real estate. He held various public offices in the Province, being one of the recruiting officers in 1740; Clerk of the Assembly, 1745-1752; Clerk in Chancery, in 1746; Register of the East Jersey Proprietors, in 1747; and in 1756 was appointed Deputy Surveyor for East Jersey, by William Alexander. He was Register so late as 1762. He lived in a house standing on the southeast corner of Market street and the Square, in Perth Amboy, and was very fond of his books, they and a man- servant being his only companions. His son, Thomas Bartow, jun., born in 1737, was employed in a store in Bethlehem, Penn., in 1755; he joined the Moravians there, and married a daughter of Anthony Ben- ezet. During the troublous times of the Revolution his father took refuge with him, and died about 1780, at Bethlehem .- Whitehead's Perth Amboy, 138; N. J. Archives, passim.

A Letter from New-Jersey, dated Perth-Amboy Oct. 28.

erate Nations, viz. the Mohawks, Onondagas, Senecas. Oneidas, Cayugas, Tuscaroros, Nanticokes, and Conoys, now united into one; and the Tuteloes; and five nations dependant on the Confederates, viz. the Delawares, Unamites,1 Minisinks, Opings, and Mohtccons.2 There were also present two Indian messengers from the Indi- ans settled on the Ohio, who brought a message in writ- ing signed by fifteen chiefs of the Ohio Indians, express- ing their desire to have peace with the English, and their intention to accede to this treaty.
The conferences were carried on with great harmony. The Indians solemnly promised to return all the English prisoners. A message was sent to the Ohio Indians, ac- companied by two English officers, a chief of the confed- erates, and several other Indians, informing them, what had been done at this treaty, and inviting them to ac- cede thereto. And peace was solemnly ratified by a large peace belt, which was delivered by the two gov- ernors to the confederate chiefs, and by them handed round to all the Indians present.
In the course of this treaty, his excellency our gover- nor satisfied all Indians that had or pretended to have any claim of lands in the province of New-Jersey except English or private rights: And releases thereof were executed and acknowledged in the presence of several of the chiefs of the confederate nations, who attested the same, and were afterwards published in open coun- cil: And his excellency governor Bernard gave a large belt to the confederate chiefs, to be a perpetual mem- orial, that the province of New-Jersey was now wholly discharged from all Indian Claims.3

New- York, December 4. In our last we acquainted our Readers of the Arrival here of Col. PETER SCHUYLER from Canada. He brought with him to Fort-Edward 114 Persons (including 25 Women and Children, which he purchased from the French at a very high Price) among whom are Major Putnam, Captain Martin, of the Train, Mr. Stone, of the Inniskilling Regiment. two of the Jersey Officers, and Doctor Stakes. The Prison- ers in general, are continually praising their Deliverer, BRADSTREET, and say it was an unlucky Thing he did not go to Niagra, as there were only 15 Men at that Place, when he took Frontenac, they having sent ali their men to reinforce Fort du Quesne, and Ticonder- oga; and that they were in the greatest Confusion at Montreal, throwing up Trenches, expecting the whole English Army there. During Colonel SCHUYLER'S Captivity in Canada, his Gratitude to his unfortunate Countrymen, was without Bounds, his Table being ever open and free to those in Distress: and we hear he has, out of his own private Purse, expended upwards of 20.000 Livres among his distressed Countrymen, in re- deeming them from Captivity.

We hear from Morris Town, in Morris County, New- Jersey, that last Friday the celebrated Miss Kemble, Daughter of Peter Kemble,1Esq; of New Brunswick, was married to the Hon, Brigadier General Gage.
1 Peter Kemble's grandfather was Richard Kemble, deputy alderman of Bishopsgate ward, London, a merchant who resided in Bishopsgate many years. He had a son, Richard, who "was bound an apprentice to one Barnardiston, a Turkey merchant with a considerable sum of money, who was by indenture bound to send him the last two years of his service to Smyrna, where he went, and afterwards settled." There he married a Greek lady, named Mavrocordato, a native of the isle of Scio, whose sister married Mr. Edwards, the British consul at Smyrna. Peter Kemble, one of the children, was born at Smyrna, in Asia Minor, December 12, 1704, and remained there until 1712, when he was sent to England to be educated. His father was appointed English consul at Salonica in 1718, and died there in June, 1720. In 1718 Peter Kemble was sent to a wine merchant at Rotterdam to learn mercantile life. In 1720-21 he made a trading voyage to Guinea, and on his return engaged in business in London, where he continued for some years. About 1730 he came to America, and soon after settled at Piscataway Landing, near New Brunswick, where he carried on a successful busi- ness .- N. Y. Hist. Soc. Collections, 1884, xiii-xiv. He was living there in 1740 .- N. J. Archives, XII., 20. Writing to the Lords of Trade, Jan. 28, 1744-5, Governor Lewis Morris recommended his appointment as a mem- ber of the Council, and said he was "a considerable merchant."- Papers of Lewis Morris, 220, 283. His intimacy with the Morris family is indicated by the fact that he was one of the pall-bearers at the Gover- nor's funeral in 1746 .- 1b., 314. Having been appointed to the Council, Sept. 23, 1745, he was sworn in as a member, Aug. 10, 1747, and remained therein until the Revolution, being Speaker in 1765, and several years thereafter .- N. J. Archives, IX., 274; X., 561; XV., 512-513; XVII., 412. In 1748 he was manager of a lottery for completing the Episcopal church at New Brunswick, and building a parsonage house .- Ib., XII., 471, 518, 520. Charles Read, one of the ablest public men in New Jersey, con- sidered him suitable for Supreme Court Judge, in 1753 .- Ib., VIII., Part 1, 188. Some time prior to 1758 he acquired an extensive tract of land near Morristown, where he took up his residence before 1765, his place being known as "Mount Kemble," a name perpetuated in one of the most beautiful avenues in that town to-day .- Smith's Hist. N. J., 499. He was commissioned one of the Justices of the Peace of Morris county, April 30, 1768 .- Hist. Morris County, 75. During the Revolution he sided with the British, but was not disturbed by the Americans, except as they cantoned on his estate while the army was in winter quarters at Morristown. He died there, Feb. 23. 1789, having passed his eighty-fourth year. Very soon after coming to this country he married Gertrude Bayard, second daughter of Samuel Bayard and Margaret van Cortlandt, and thus became connected with a number of the most influential Colonial families of New York and New Jersey .- N. Y. Hist. Colls., 1884, xiv. He married, 2d, Elizabeth Tuite, of Trenton, Oct. 10, 1749. She was of an old Irish family, settled in Maryland. By his first wife he had five sons and two daughters:
I. Samuel, who entered the British army, but left it in 1773 to accept the post of Collector of the Port of New York. In 1783 he went to Lon- don, and thence to the East Indies, where he died in the island of Suma- tra about 1796.
II. Richard, born in August, 1733, and died at Mount Kemble, which he inherited, Sept. 13, 1833, unmarried.
III. Peter, born in 1739. He was educated in the "college in Phila- delphia," now the University of Pennsylvania, then engaged in busi- ness, and later, with his two brothers-in-law-Nicholas and Isaac Gouverneur-established the commercial house of Gouverneur & Kem- ble, in New York. He died July 6, 1823. He married Gertrude Gouver- neur (daughter of 'Samuel Gouverneur and Experience Johnson), June 5, 1784. Issue: 1. Gouverneur, b. Jan. 25, 1786; d. Dec. 16, 1875, at Cold Spring, N. Y., unmarried. He was the owner of "Cockloft Hall," near the Erie railroad station, in Newark, made famous by Washington Irving and James K.
