VOORHEES teenth child and youngest son of Lucas Stevense van
Voorhees (by his second wife, Jannetje Min- nes Faddans), was born in Flatlands, Long Island. Soon after his marriage he removed to South Middlebush, Somerset county, New Jersey, where, March 4, 1726, he purchased from Jacques Cortelyou for four hundred and seventy-five pounds sterling a farm of three hundred acres, on which the remainder of his life was spent. He married Neeltje Cortel- you, born July 18, 1703, daughter of Jacques Cortelyou of New Utrecht, Long Island ; three sons and four daughters.
(VI) Abraham Voorhees, second child of Abraham Lucasse and Neeltje (Cortelyou) Van Voorhees, resided near Six Mile Run, Somerset county, New Jersey, where all his children were born, and where he died. It is known that he was twice married, his first wife being Geertie and his second Maria ; and he had nine children, six sons and three daugh- ters.
(VII) Lucas, eldest child of Abraham and Geertie Voorhees, was born near Six Mile Run, Somerset county, New Jersey, May 2, 1753, lived at Rocky Hill, in the same county, and died there August 24, 1812. He married, November 16, 1775, Johanna Dumont, born June 2, 1758, died February 25, 1840; four sons and three daughters.
(VIII) Isaac Lucas, fifth child and fourth son of Lucas and Johanna (Dumont) Voor- hees, was born in Rocky Hill, Somerset county, New Jersey, March 22, 1793, died near Six Mile Run (same county ), October 26, 1867. For the larger part of his life he resided near Six Mile Run. He married, June 5, 1813, Abigail, daughter of Isaac Isaacse Voorhees, and had six sons and seven daughters.
(IX) Abraham, third child and son of Isaac Lucas and Abigail (Voorhees) Voor- hees, was born near Six Mile Run, Som- erset county, New Jersey, September 18, 1817. In early life he removed to New Brunswick, Middlesex county, New Jer- sey, engaging in the jewelry trade, but sub- sequently devoted his attention largely to bank- ing and financial interests, and occupied the

position of president of the Old State Bank of New Brunswick. He was a public- spirited and highly esteemed citizen of New Brunswick. A member of the First Presby- terian Church, he was one of its life elders, and for twenty-nine years superintendent of its Sunday school. He died in New Brunswick, June 9, 1892.
He married (first) September 19, 1842, Jane, died April 8, 1875, daughter of Jesse and Margaret P. (Russell) Jarvis. Children: I. Willard Penfield, of whom below. 2. Laura Virginia, died in infancy. Abraham Voor- hees married (second) Martha J., died Feb- ruary 9, 1909, daughter of John and Martha (Bell) Van Nostrand. Children : 3. Howard Crosby, of whom below. 4. Florence Eliot, married John J. Voorhees, Jr., who is en- gaged with his father in the manufacture of rubber goods, under the firm style of the Voor- hees Rubber Manufacturing Company. They reside at 91 Duncan avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey, and have one child, Florence Eliot Voorhees, born October 17, 1908. 5. Marion R., resides in New Brunswick. 6. Clifford Irving, of whom below.
(X) Willard Penfield, only surviving child of Abraham and Jane (Jarvis) Voorhees, was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, July 28, 1851. He received his early education in the grammar school of that community, also pur .. suing preparatory studies under Gustavus Fischer, and was graduated from Rutgers Col- lege in the class of 1871. After qualifying for the legal profession in the office of Judge Woodbridge Strong, of New Brunswick, he was admitted to practice as attorney at the November term of the supreme court in 1874, and at the February term in 1878 he became counsellor. Embarking in the practice of the law in his native city in 1874, he soon acquired a reputation for ability, and until his elevation to the supreme bench thirty-four years later he was engaged successfully and with dis- tinction in his professional work. The active career of Justice Voorhees has been devoted exclusively to the law. On one occasion (1884) he was the Republican candidate for county clerk of Middlesex county, but was de- feated; and with this exception he has never run for elective office. As a lawyer his in- clinations and special capabilities were for the more exact branches of his profession, and thus from an early period his employments were principally in connection with responsible private trusts and in the conduct of important litigations. His services were continually en-
gaged in the care and settlement of estates, as receiver for various enterprises, and in equity proceedings and corporate cases. His ap- pointment as associate justice of the supreme court of New Jersey (January, 1908) is one of the very few instances on record of the elevation of a practicing lawyer, without pre- vious experience on the bench and entirely un- associated with political life, from the ranks of the profession to the highest judicial sta- tion. Justice Voorhees is one of the trustees of Rutgers College (elected in 1909). He is a member, among other organizations, of the Holland Society, the New York Athletic Club, and the Union Club of New Brunswick.
He married, March 15, 1877, in New Brunswick, Sarah Rutgers, daughter of Theo- dore Grant and Catharine Bayard (Rutgers) Neilson. Child : Catharine Rutgers, born August 15, 1878, died March 18, 1882.
(X) Howard Crosby, son of Abraham and Martha J. (Van Nostrand) Voorhees, was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Janu- ary 4, 1879. After completing the studies of the New Brunswick public schools and the Rutgers Preparatory School, he entered Princeton University, where he was gradu- ated in 1902. He then pursued the course of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, receiving his M. D. degree in 1906, and during the year following was an interne of the Bellevue Hospital, also serving three months in the New York Lying-in-Hospital. Dr. Voorhees has since been practicing his profession in New Brunswick. He is on the staffs of Saint Peter's General Hospital, the Wells Memorial Hospital, and the Parker Me- morial Home, and is a member of the New Jersey State and Middlesex County medical societies.
He married, June 30, 1906, Marguerite Soper, daughter of Jeremiah D. and Cleone (Day) Slocum, of Staten Island.
(X) Clifford Irving, son of Abraham and . Martha J. (Van Nostrand) Voorhees, was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, August 4, 1884. He received his early education in the Lawrenceville (New Jersey) school, and was graduated from Princeton University (A. B.) in 1906. Pursuing the course of the New York Law School, he was graduated there (LL. B.) in 1909, and was then admitted to the New Jersey bar as attorney. He is now practicing his profession in New Brunswick. Mr. Voorhees is a member of the Ivy Club of Princeton and the Princeton Club of New York.

(IV) Coert Stevense Van
VOORHEES Voorhees, son of Steven Coert Van Voorhees, was born in Holland in 1637, died after 1702. His name appears on the tax rolls of Flatlands in 1675 and 1683, and he was a deacon of the Dutch church there in 1677, magistrate in 1664 and 1673, captain of militia in 1689, representative of Flatlands in the colonial as- sembly at New Amsterdam (New York), April 10, 1664, delegate to the convention, March 26, 1674, and took the oath of allegiance at Flatlands in September, 1687. In 1689 he bought lands at Gravesend, Long Island, and at various times became well possessed of lands, some of which has continued in pos- session of his descendants to the present day. He evidently was a person of consequence in the colony and a man of influence in public matters of government. He married, before 1664, Merretje Gerritse Van Couwenhoven, baptized April 10, 1644, died before 1709, daughter of Gerrit Wolfertse and Aeltie Lam- bertse (Cool) Van Couwenhoven, and by her had nine children : I.

In 1677 he was a member of the Dutch church at Flatlands; and he took the oath of allegiance there in 1687. In 1693 he bought lands at New Utrecht, Long Island, paying therefore 38,750 guilders, and in 1699 he sold the same land to his brother, Albert Coerte Van Voorhees. He was a man of large landed estate, possessed much influence among the people, but does not appear to have taken much part in public affairs. He married (first) Mensie Janse and after her death he married (second) April 26, 1685, Willentje Pieters, who died in 1744. He had seven children: I. Coert Garritse, who lived on Long Island and whose will bears date of January 3, 1746. 2. Altje Garritse, baptized Flatlands, October 5, 1685 ; married Johannes Willemse. 3. Marytie i-6

He refused to pay tithes to the English church at Flatlands and rather than submit to what he considered a wrong in this respect sold off his possessions on Long Island and removed to Somerset county in New Jersey, where he pur- chased two hundred and thirty-one acres of the so-called Van Horne lands near Blawen- burgh in that county. He spent the remainder of his life in New Jersey and engaged in farming. He married, March 6, 1720, Arientje Nevius, and by her had ten children : I. Ariantie, born 1721. 2.

DRAKE A contemporary of John Drake, of Windsor, and of Thomas Drake, of Weymouth, was Rob- ert Drake, who was born in England in 1580, and came to America from Colchester, Essex- shire, accompanied by at least two sons and a daughter. He appears in Exter, New Hamp- shire, in 1643, and finally settled in Hampton, New Hampshire, where he died January 14, 1668. His children of whom there is accurate account were Nathaniel, Susannah and Abra- ham. In "Early Germans of New Jersey," Chambers mentions a "supposed to be" son of
Robert, who bore the name Francis, "although not mentioned in his will."
(I) Francis Drake, supposed to be a son of Robert Drake, the immigrant, was in Ports- mouth, New Hampshire, in 1661, and in 1663 served on a grand jury with Nathaniel Drake, elder son of Robert. No further record of him is found in that region, and he is believed to have been the Francis who emigrated from New Hampshire to Piscataway, New Jersey, which township was settled largely by emi- grants from the town of the same name in New Hampshire, for according to the Piscata- way records a Francis Drake appeared there in 1667-68, and died there about 1687. The baptismal name of his wife was Mary, and by her he had three children: 1. Francis, died be- fore April 27, 1733. 2. George, died in Pis- cataway before November 8, 1709. 3. Rev. John, see forward.
(II) Rev. John Drake, son of Francis and Mary Drake, was born in 1655, died in 1739- 40. He was a lay preacher in the early days of Piscataway and upon the organization of the old Piscataway Baptist Church he became its pastor and served in that capacity for more than fifty years. He married (first) Rebecca Trotter, and was married twice afterward, but the names of his second and third wives are unknown. He had in all thirteen children: I. John, born June 2, 1678; married Sarah Compton and had six children. 2. Francis, December 23, 1679 ; married Patience Walker and had eleven children. 3. Samuel, 1680; married Elizabeth Hull and had two daughters. 4. Joseph, October 21, 1681. 5. Benjamin, 1683. 6. Abraham, 1685, see forward. 7. Sarah, 1686. 8. Isaac, January 12, 1687-88, died 1756; had five children: Samuel, Isaac, Daniel, Nathaniel and Hannah. 9. Jacob, 1690. IO. Ebenezer, July 19, 1693; married Anna Dunn and had nine children. II. Eph- riam, 1694. 12. Rebecca, November 21, 1697 ; married Toseph Fitz Randolph and had thir- teen children. 13. Abigail, May 10, 1699.
(III) Abraham, son of Rev. John Drake, was born in 1685, died before May 6, 1763. He is believed to have been of Newton, New Jersey. In a deed, 1761. Abraham and De- liverance Drake sell three hundred and sixty- eight acres to Moses Tompkins, all of Rox- bury. April 25, 1751, he bought of the pro- prietors of the township fifty-four acres, "what is now the mill property at Drakeville." The name of his wife was Deliverance and they had four children: I. Abraham, died before the date of his father's will (1759) ; had two

children who are mentioned in their grandfath- er's will. 2. Nathaniel, see forward. 3. Jacob, who in 1768 signed a call to a minister for Succasunna church, and had one son, Jacob. 4. Elisha, married and had probably sons Jacob, John, Daniel and Elisha.
(IV) Nathaniel, son of Abraham and De- liverance Drake, is mentioned as a freeholder of Roxbury township, 1741 ; licensed as tavern keeper in 1743; will admitted to probate May :, 1778, in Sussex county, names wife Ann and four children: I. Nathaniel, see forward. 2. Joseph, born 1761, died 1813; married (first ) "Miss Desire," (second), Mrs. Susannah Ayres, and had Nathaniel, John, Sarah, Mar- tha, Alexander F., Margaret, Mark L. and George B. 3. Samuel. 4. John.
(V) Nathaniel Drake, of Middlesex county, New Jersey, is presumed to be the Nathaniel Drake, son of Nathaniel and Ann Drake, men- tioned in the preceding paragraph. He mar- ried a Miss Bryant. Children : Elnathan, see forward. 2. Charles, born in Hunterdon county, New Jersey ; a farmer.
(VI) Elnathan, son of Nathaniel Drake, was born and reared in Hunterdon county, New Jersey. He was a farmer on a large scale, owning two farms. He was a resident of Mercer county, New Jersey. He died in 1839, well advanced in years. He married Sarah Van Kirk, daughter of Dr. Benjamin and (Armitage) Van Kirk. Chil- dren : Mary, Sally Ann, Deborah V., Hannah Etta, Bayard S., Reuben Armitage, see forward.
(VII) Reuben Armitage, son of Elnathan Drake, was born in September, 1820. He spent his life in Hopewell township, Mercer county, New Jersey, as a farmer, fruit grower and stock man. He was first a Whig, later a Republican, and an active and public-spirited citizen. He served as a member of Colonel Cummings Princeton Troop during the civil war. He married Mary, daughter of Peter Voorhees, of Somerset county, New Jersey (see Voorhees, VIII). Children: Herbert Armitage, see forward, Batard Ridgely, Jane Schenck, Sara Emily, Mary Louisa, Peter Voorhees. Reuben A. Drake died 1883; his wife died in 1867.
(VIII) Herbert Armitage, son of Reuben Armitage and Mary (Voorhees) Drake, was born in Hopewell township, Mercer county, New Jersey, July 2, 1845. He acquired his early literary education in public schools and Lawrenceville high school, graduating from the latter-in 1864. He then entered Rutgers
College and graduated A. B. in 1868; A. M. in course, 1871. He read law under the direction of his uncle, Peter L. Voorhees, and was ad- mitted as attorney in 1871 and as counsellor in June, 1874. Mr. Drake is a member of the United States circuit and district courts of New Jersey and also of the eastern district of Pennsylvania. His practice is general in the civil courts, although he inclines in preference to cases in the equity courts. He is a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association, Camden County Bar Association, Philadelphia Ethical Culture Society, and in politics is an independent. He is an occasional and interest- ing contributor to current literature and his articles on economic subjects generally have appeared in various magazine publications. Mr. Drake married, November 25, 1888, Sacia Hersey, daughter of Rev. Holden R. Nye, D. D., of Norwood, Massachusetts, a clergyman of the Universalist church. Children : I. Quaesita Cromwell Frazier, born August 29, 1889; student at Vassar. 2. Beata Voorhees Armitage, born April 21, 1891, now a student at the Friends' School, Jenkintown, Pennsyl- vania.
OGDEN John Ogden, founder of the Ogdens of Elizabethtown, be- longs to that small group of families that can trace back step by step their pedigree for generation after generation in the mother country with more certainty than con- jecture, and can say with assurance "We go back to William the Conqueror." At first written de Hoghton, and then passing through a variety of spellings until it finally crystal- lized in its present form, the family surname belongs to that class of Saxon cognomens which have a local or territorial signification, for the word Ogden means the vale of oaks, and the Ogdens were the dwellers in the oak- dale. Consequently on their arms have always been found the oak branch or the leaf or the acorn and sometimes two or more of these combined.
While there are Ogden records as early as 1150, when Peter de Hoghton founded the priory of Erden or Arden, near Black Hamel- don, in the deanery of Cleveland, the earliest discoverable ancestor of John Ogden, of Eliz- abethtown, appears to be Robert Ogden, of Hampshire, from whom likewise are descend- ed the Ogdens of Rye, Westchester county, New York, the Ogdens of Fairfield, Connecti- cut. and the Quaker Ogdens of Philadelphia. (I) Robert Ogden is on record in 1453,

when he appears as a witness to a grant of land in Nutley, Hampshire, and again in 1457, in connection with a post-mortem search con- cerning lands belonging to Joan Ogden, of Ellingham, county Southants. This Joan was probably his wife and the mother of his two recorded children, Richard and William. Will- iam Ogden, of Ellingham, whose will is dated September 8, 1517, and proved the same year, married Agnes, daughter of John Hamlyn, and had five children: Richard; Jane ; Eliza- beth, married John Nicholls, of Roundway, county Wilts; Alice, wife of Robert West- bury, of Hants; and John. John Ogden, of Ellingham, who died in 1560, married Jane, daughter of Hugh Mollineux, and had Will- iam, married Eleanor, daughter of Sir William Meux and Eleanor Strangeways, of Kingston, Isle of Wight ; Agnes, married a Mr. Morgan, of Peldon, and Philip. Philip Ogden was twice married ; first to Alice, daughter of Will- iam Sharye, of Sarum, who bore him two chil- dren: Jane, and Anne, wife of Edward, son of Thomas Wilmot and Anne Twedy, and grandson of Edward Wilmot, of Newent, county Gloucester. Philip's second wife was Bridget, daughter of William Kelloway, who bore him two more children: John and Will- iam. William Ogden died in 1664; married, 1598, Elizabeth, daughter of George Uvedale and Margery Mille, of Purbeck, and had one child, Edward, the father of John Ogden, who was granted arms by Charles II for ser- vices rendered by John Ogden to his royal father. This John was the father of David, the founder of the Quaker Ogden family.
(II) Richard, son of Robert and Joan Ogden, married before March 8, 1503, Mabel, daughter of Johannes de Hoogan, of the parish of Lyndhurst, Hants, as appears from an indenture of September 19, 1513, in which Mabel, wife of Richard Ogden, releases to Thomas Delavale, of Lyndhurst, land which she had from her father, deceased, and also other land which she and her husband had of Walter de Hoogan, her husband's brother, by deed dated March 8, 1503. Richard and Mabel (de Hoogan) Ogden had three children : I. John, married Margaret, daughter of Robert Wharton, and had two children: Elizabeth and Margaret. 2. Robert, whose line became extinct in 1613. 3. William, see forward.
(III) William, son of Richard and Mabel (de Hoogan) Ogden, married, May 9, 1539, Abigail, daughter of Henry Goodsall, of Brad- ley Plain, Southants, and left three children : I. Edward, see forward. 2. Abigail, born July
14, 1541 ; married, October 3, 1562, Philip Bennet, and had issue. 3. Charles, born 1543; married a Miss Williams.
(IV) Edward, son of William and Abigail (Goodsall) Ogden, was born September 6, 1540, at Bradley Plain, and married there, De- cember 16, 1563, Margaret, daughter of Rich- ard and Margaret Wilson.
