"A petition from sundry ladies at Perth Amboy, setting forth, that they apprehend fatal and melancholy consequences to themselves and families, and to the inhabitants in general, if they should be deprived of the assistance of Dr. Lawrence's skill in his profession, as his attendance is hourly necessary to several patients now much indis- posed, who will be left helpless if he be removed, as no other prac- titioner resides in that place, praying that he may be permitted to remain in Amboy; was read, and ordered a second reading.
"The petition from sundry ladies at Perth Amboy was read a second time, and ordered that a copy of the following letter, addressed to Mrs. Franklin, one of the subscribers, be signed by the President and sent:
"Madam :-
"I am ordered by Congress to acquaint you, and through you the other ladies of Amboy, that their petition in favour of Dr. John Lawrence has been received and considered.
"Could any application have procured a greater indulgence to Dr. Lawrence, you may be assured yours could not have failed of success. But, unhappily, madam, we are placed in such a situation, that motives of consideration to individuals must give place to the safety of the publick.
"As Dr. John Lawrence therefore has fallen under the suspicion of

He was subsequently permitted to leave the State, and located in New York city, where he practiced medicine until 1783, and was also in command of a local Company of volunteers for the defence of the city. At the close of the War he returned to New Jersey, residing at Upper Freehold, but did not resume practice, having abundant means .. His patients were among the most prominent families of New Jersey and New York, Long Island and Westchester county. He was never married. He died April 29, 1830, at Trenton, while away from home. His remains were brought back and interred in the grave yard of the old Yellow Church (Baptist) at Upper Freehold .- N. J. Archives, X., 302, note; Wiekes's Hist.

Samuel Leake, a native of Virginia, was licensed by the presbytery of Hanover, at Tinkling Spring, Virginia, April 18, 1766, was ordained May 3, 1770, and settled as pastor of Rich Cove and North Garden Presbyterian churches, Albemarle County, Virginia. He died Decem- ber 2, 1775.
John McCrery studied theology and was licensed by the Presbytery of New Castle about 1767. He was ordained and installed as pastor of White Clay Creek Church, Delaware, in 1769, which charge he held until his death in 1800.
Alexander Miller was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of New York in 1767, and was ordained in 1770. In 1771, he took charge of a church gathered in Schenectady, New York, where he remained for eleven years, but during the distraction of the Revolutionary war, his congregation dispersed, and he was compelled to leave the field. He was a trustee of Princeton College, 1785-1795.
Joseph Smith, of Nottingham, Pennsylvania, was licensed by the Presbytery of New Castle, August 5, 1767, and was ordained and in- stalled pastor of Lower Brandywine Church, Delaware, April 19, 1769. He resigned in 1772, and in 1774 accepted a call from the Second Church in Wilmington, which had united with his old Brandywine Church. He laboured here until April, 1778, when he resigned on account of the distracted state of the country, and removed to Western Pennsylvania, becoming pastor in 1780 of the church at Buffalo and Cross Creek. A revival soon began in his church which never ceased till the day of his death, more than twelve years. He died April 19, 1792.
Thomas Treadwell was a member of the Assembly of New York from Suffolk County, 1776-1783, and 1791 to 1795 he was a member of Congress from New York. He died in 1826.
James Tuttle was born May 7, 1742, the son of Col. Joseph Tuttle and his second wife, Abigail Nutman, sister of the Rev. John Nutman .. Col. Tuttle was an Elder in the Hanover (Morris County) Presbyter- ian church for many years. Young Tuttle was fitted for College in the school of his pastor, the Rev. Jacob Green, and having graduated at Nassau Hall in 1764 studied theology with Mr. Green. In 1767 he was licensed to preach, by the Presbytery of New York. On Feb. 2, 1767, he married Anna, daughter of the Rev. Jacob Green. In April he became pastor of the Rockaway Presbyterian church. Before the end of 1769 he became too ill to preach, and so continued until his death, at Hanover, Dec. 25, 1770. He had but one child, Benajah, who died a few weeks before him. Mr. Tuttle was also pastor of the Parsippany church. He lived at Rockaway, in a parsonage built expressly for him. His tombstone (at Hanover) says: "This man of God had a short race but swift, he ran far in littel time. Few exceeded him in sweetness of Temper, Tenderness of conscience and fidelity In his ministerial work and the End of this man was Peace."-Annals of Morris County, by the Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle, 1876, p. 80.
William Woodhull, probably a native of Long Island, was licensed by the Presbytery of Suffolk in 1768, and ordained by the Presbytery of New York in 1770. In 1783, on account of ill health, he ceased from preaching and devoted himself to secular pursuits.
