(IV) Halsey Marsh, son of James Marsh and Sarah (Fitz Randolph) Barrett, was born in Cornwall, Orange county, New York, July 14, 1852, and is now living in Bloomfield, New Jersey. After receiving his early education in the district schools of Orange county, New York, he came to Bloomfield in 1865, with his parents, and entered the Bloomfield Academy,


and then after taking the course in the New- ark Academy, he entered Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, from which he grad- uated in 1870. He then matriculated at Yale University, but owing to ill health abandoned the idea of a college course and found a posi- tion as assistant in the actuary's department of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company. This position he retained until January I, 1877, when he entered the law office of the Hon. Amzi Dodd, at that time vice-chancellor of New Jersey, and was admitted to the New Jersey bar as attorney, June 5, 1878, and as counsellor in June, 1881. He then began the general practice of his profession in Newark, where he soon secured a large and influential clientèle, and has been most successful. For five years or more he was the attorney of the North Jersey Street Railway Company, and from 1878 to 1887 was counsel for the town- ship of Bloomfield. He has also been a director in the Bloomfield National Bank, in the Essex and Hudson Gas Company, and is counsel for the Bloomfield Savings Institution. He is a member of the Essex Club of Newark and of the New Jersey Historical Society. By relig- ious conviction he is a Presbyterian.


November 27, 1878, Mr. Barrett married Mary L., daughter of the Rev. David B. and Rebecca ( Phoenix) Coe, whose father was for many years secretary of the American Home Missionary Society in New York City, and whose only brother is the Rev. Edward B. Coe, D. D. senior pastor of the Collegiate Church of New York City. Children of Hal- sey Marsh and Mary L. (Coe) Barrett : I. Mary Franklin, born August 25, 1879. 2. Randolph Coe, February 19, 1881. 3. Eliza- beth Tappan, September 6, 1884. 4. Dorothy Marsh, September 8, 1889.


(The Marsh Line).


Samuel Marsh, founder of the family of this name, is claimed by some of his descend- ants to have appeared in Boston about 1641, and by others to have been born in county Essex, England, about 1626, and to have emi- grated direct to New Haven, Connecticut, in the summer of 1645; while a sister of his named Hanhan, who came to America a few years after the last mentioncd date, married Lancelot Fuller, of New Haven. He was a member of the New Haven militia and April 7, 1646, the court minutes record that "Sam- uel Marsh being seeking cowes during his ab- sence from traynings, it was accepted of the court as a sufficient excuse." A repetition of

the offence was overlooked, but a third one caused him to be fined two shillings six pence. He took the oath of fidelity to the Colony May 2, 1648, and lived at New Haven until 1665, when he became one of the eighty Eliza- bethtown associates. In 1671 he took a promi- nent part in the controversy with Governor Carteret, and was indicted as the ring-leader in the pulling down of Richard Mitchell's fence. He was apparently a man of consider- able property. His will is dated June 10, 1683, and the inventory of his personal estate was made February 6, 1684. By his wife Comfort he had seven children: 1. Mary, born 1648, probably died unmarried. 2. Samuel, Febru- ary 12, 1650, died 1684 or 1685 ; married Mary Trimmins. 3. Comfort, August 22, 1652 ; mar- ried Joseph Meeker. 4. Hannah, July 22, 1655, died probably unmarried. 5. Elizabeth, De- cember 27, 1657. 6. John, referred to below. 7. Joseph, April 1, 1663, died 1723; married Sarah Hinds.


(II) John, son of Samuel and Comfort Marsh, was born in New Haven, Connecticut, May 2, 1661, and an old Marsh record states that he died at Trembley's Point, November, 1744. Being brought to Elizabeth by his father, he settled in 1681 at what is now Rahway, and at a town meeting there June 28, 1681, he asked for and received the consent of the town to "get the timber to saw at his mill." In 1683 he was granted eight hundred acres of land on the Rahway river and the same year obtained permission from Smith Rouse and Joseph Frazee to build a dam and erect a mill. This mill is believed to have been one of the first saw mills in that section of New Jersey, and it was located on the Rahway river just west of the present Pennsylvania railroad bridge. It is claimed that some of the logs from the original mill were used in the con- struction of the saw mill now standing on the same site. In 1684 he built a grist mill along- side of his saw mill, and then apparently re- moved to New York City where he was living in 1692. He married Elizabeth Clark or Clerk. Children: 1. Benjamin, referred to below. 2. John, died before 1740. 3. Joseph, married, and died 1746. 4. Joshua, born about 1691, married, died September 21, 1744. 5. Eliza- beth, married Job Pack, of Rahway, and both she and her husband died on the same day, April 13, 1750. 6. Jonathan, died July 27, 1779. 7. Hannah, married William Miller. 8. Ephraim, married, and died April 23, 1750. 9. Daniel, died 1756; married Mary Rolph. IO. Mephibosheth, married, died 1764. II.


Sarah, died October 1, 1777; married Isaac Noe.


(III) Benjamin, son of John and Elizabeth (Clark) Marsh, was born in Rahway about 1685, died in 1723. He lived at Elizabeth- town, and married Margaret Ewer. Children : Benjamin, referred to below; Enoch, David, Sarah, Margaret, Mary.


(IV) Benjamin (2), son of Benjamin (I) and Margaret (Ewer) Marsh, was born in Rahway, 1725, died 1772. He married Sarah Clark. Children: Jabez, Sarah, Margaret, Benjamin, James, referred to below; Mary, Phebe, Margaret.


(V) James, son of Benjamin (2) and Sarah (Clark) Marsh, was born in Rahway about 1764, died in 1807. He married Mary Halsey, of Linden, who is said to have been the widow of a Mr. Hedden. Children : Abigail, referred to below; Sarah, Hannah, Phebe Halsey, James, Sophia.


(VI) Abigail, daughter of James and Mary (Halsey) (Hedden) Marsh, was born at Blaz- ing Star, New Jersey, 1799, died in 1849. She married Lewis, son of Abram and Betsy (Ketchum) Barrett (see Barrett, II).


The Gilmour family at pres- GILMOUR ent under consideration, al- though among the later comers to this country, has already established itself in the front ranks of two of the learned professions and has made a name for itself in two states.


(I) Henry Lake Gilmour, founder of the family in this country, was born in London- derry, Ireland, and came to this country when nineteen years old with Captain Lake. At first he had no intention of remaining, but he began to work at the trade of carriage painter and locating in Cape May, he established a success- ful business. At the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted in the First Regiment of New Jer- sey Cavalry and has a distinguished record of four and one-half years. At one time he was captured by the enemy and sent to Libby prison where he remained for three months. Being exchanged he became a hospital steward, and received a commission in the medical corps. At the time that General Lee surrendered he had risen to the rank of major. After being mustered out of service, Mr. Gilmour entered the Philadelphia Dental College, from which he graduated in 1867, and then opened an office in Philadelphia and another one in Cape May. Since then he has devoted his whole time and attention to his profession and his office in

STATE OF NEW JERSEY.


Philadelphia, room 500, Perry building, at the corner of Sixteenth and Chestnut streets, is now run by himself and his younger son. Dr. Gilmour is a Republican in politics and a Meth- odist in religion. He is especially interested in musical services at camp meetings, and is the composer of much sacred music. In the Methodist church of his home at Wenonah Gloucester county, New Jersey, he has for many years been one of the most active mem- bers. He is a trustee and steward of the church, a class leader, and superintendent of the Sunday school. Dr. Gilmour is a Mason.


Dr. Henry Lake Gilmour married Letitia Pauline, daughter of Levi Downing and Anna (Miller ) Howard. Her grandfather, Captain Howard, was the sea captain who broke the chain by which the French tried to blockade the port of Londonderry during the English- French war of 1740; while Dr. Gilmour's great-grandfather was the man who fired the first gun at the French in the same war. Chil- dren of Henry Lake and Letitia Pauline (Howard) Gilmour: I. Levi Downing How- ard, referred to below. 2. Henry Lake, Jr .. born October, 1865 ; graduated from the South Jersey Institute, 1884, and the Philadelphia Dental College, 1889, and now in partnership with his father; married, May 4, 1890, Lena M., daughter of Thomas Cunningham, a prom- inent citizen of Delaware and member of the state legislature; has had three children, two died in infancy, and Pauline. 3. Mary Pauline, married Morgan Hatch; lives at Belair, Cam- den county, New Jersey, and has one child, Pauline.


(II) Levi Downing Howard, elder son of Dr. Henry Lake and Letitia Pauline (Howard) Gilmour, was born in Cape May City, New Jersey, October 27, 1860, and is now living in Newark, New Jersey. For his early edu- cation he attended first of all the public school at Cape May, from which he went to the Dept- ford school at Woodbury, New Jersey. Leav- ing this institution, he entered the South Jer- sey Institute at Bridgeton, from which he grad- uated as an honor man in June, 1879, and being the Latin salutatorian of his class. He then studied law with Howard Cooper, Esq., of Camden, New Jersey, and was admitted to the New Jersey bar as attorney in February, 1885, and as counsellor in February, 1888. April 3. 1893, he was admitted to practice in the United States supreme court at Washington. For eight years he was connected with the law de- partment of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany in Philadelphia, and removing in 1889 to


Newark he has since then been practicing in that city with uninterrupted success. His office is at 763 Broad street, and he has spe- cialized in real estate and corporation law, in which fields he has made himself the leading lawyer of Newark. He is now assistant gen- eral counsel of the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey, and during their reconstruction and consolidation was one of the counsel of the Electric Light Companies of Newark and the Street Railway Company. From 1892 he was a trustee of the South Jersey Institute at Bridgeton until the institute was discontinued. He is a member of the Essex County Country Club, University Club of Newark, and New York Athletic Club. He is a member of the South Baptist Church of Newark.


April 2, 1885, Mr. Gilmour married, in Phil- adelphia, Jennie Dare, born November 25, 1862, only child of Norton L. and Maria (Dare) Paullin. Children: I. Howard Coombs, born December 27, 1886; graduated from Prince- ton University, 1908, now studying law. 2. Marie Paullin, September 23, 1895.


CRAMER This name appears in the early history of Long Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Dela- ware, and in the Hudson River Valley, and is variously spelled Cramer, Cranmer, Cram- mer. The Cramers of the Hudson River


valley, as well as some of the family in Hun- terdon county, New Jersey, were of Dutch or German descent, with family names as Noah, Peter, Isaac, William, Stephen. The Cranmers and Crammers apparently belong to an English family, and many of them have traditions which link their line of descent with Cran- mer the martyr, burned at the stake, and the chief author of the liturgy as contained in the English Book of Common Prayer used in the Anglican churches. As he was born in Aslac- ton, Nottinghamshire, and his wife in Nurem- burg. a niece of the reformer Osiander, their descendants could claim both English and Ger- man blood. It is very difficult to trace de- scendants from the Archbishop of Canterbury, married in 1532, the very same year in which he was made archbishop, for he was obliged to put away his wife on the passage of the Six Articles, or Bloody Statutes, in 1538, as one of the statutes forbade marriage to the clergy. In 1548 he induced parliament to legalize the marriage of the clergy, and his wife returned to him from her home in Ger- many. The name thus legalized had both German and English claimants. and notwith-

standing its various spellings they may all have had a common origin. The father of the Archbishop was also named Thomas, and he also had another son named Edmund, who was Archdeacon of Canterbury, while his brother was Archbishop, and it is possible that the family in New Jersey may be descended from Edmund, who had five sons and eight daugh- ters, and died in 1604, aged sixty-nine years. For practical American citizens, however, it is sufficient to fix upon a progenitor who emi- grated from the old world and immigrated to America. The American English immigrant progenitor of a large family of the name in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, in the early days of the settlements of these states, appears to have been William Cramer, a name claimed both by the English and German nationalities.


(1) William Cranmer (or Cramer, as vari- ously written ) appeared in the eastern part of Long Island after 1640. In 1620 the island had been granted by James I. to the Plymouth Company, from whom it passed to Lord Stir- ling in 1636, and by his grandson was sur- rendered to the Duke of York. In the "His- tory of Southold, Long Island," William Cra- mer is named by Rev. Epher Whitaker among the original settlers of Southold, 1640-72, and he speaks of his subsequent removal to Eliza- bethtown, New Jersey. In the Southold Town Records appears a deposition made by Will- iam Cramer, April 19, 1659, concerning a con- versation which occurred in his house. Hat- field, in his "History of Elizabeth, New Jer- sey," says that William Cramer was a car- penter from Southold, Long Island, where he married Elizabeth, daughter of David Car- withy, and sister of Caleb Carwithy. David Carwithy formerly lived at Salem, Massachu- setts, where he is named as freeman in 1644. He moved to Southold, where he died, No- vember, 1665. His son Caleb was a mariner, and quite a rover ; he went to Elizabethtown in 1665, but remained there only a few years. William Cramer took the oath of allegiance and fidelity at Elizabethtown, February 19, 1665. He attached himself to the governor's party, and seems not to have been numbered with the Town Associates. He was appointed town constable April 27, 1670, and served till October 13, 1671. He became possessed of various tracts of land amounting to 209 acres, besides the town lot of six acres on which he lived. His name is on record as frequently buying and selling land. William Cramer died at Elizabethtown. New Jersey, and administra --


tion on his estate was granted to his son Thomas, December 4, 1689. It would seem, therefore, that Thomas was the eldest son. It is shown by deeds on file in the secretary of state's office, Trenton, New Jersey, that there were at least two other sons, William, and John (q. v.).


(II) Thomas, eldest son of William Cramer and Elizabeth, his wife, seems either to have died, or to have removed to another state soon after his father's death, for his name does not appear in the New Jersey records after 1691, at which date he sold all or nearly all of the land which he derived from his father.


(II) William, second son of William and Elizabeth (Carwithy) Cramer, lived in Eliza- bethtown until about 1710. His name appears frequently in deeds both as grantor and grantee. In 1702, with his brother John, he bought land at Barnegat, then in Monmouth county, New Jersey, where he and his family were living in 1712. Leah Blackman states that there was recently in existence an old book, once the property of Edward Andrews, who was a minister of Friends, on a fly leaf of which was written, "William Cranmer, who settled at Barnegat, used to walk from that place to Little Egg Harbor Meeting. He was one of the witnesses of Edward Andrews's will in 1712." His name also appears as wit- ness to several wills between 1712 and 1719. Among the records of the Woodbridge Monthly Meeting appears the birth of William Cramer, son of William and Rachel Cramer, June 12, 1691. Leah Blackman mentions the names of two other children, Levi and Sarah. Levi lived at Barnegat, and married Esther Horne in 1743.


(II) John, youngest son of William and Elizabeth (Carwithy) Cramer, was probably born in Elizabethtown, about 1666, where he married Sarah, daughter of Stephen and Sarah (Stanbrough) Osborne, of Elizabethtown, granddaughter of Josiah Stanbrough, a founder of Southampton, Long Island, who died in 1659, and great-granddaughter of Jo- siah Stanbrough, the immigrant settler of Lynn. Massachusetts Bay Colony, in 1637. John Cramer and Sarah Osborne were mar- ried previous to 1694, as Stephen Osborne's will of that date mentions his daughter Sarah as wife of John Cramer. The latter, as well as his brother William, was a member of the Society of Friends. About 1710, John and Sarah (Osborne) Cramer settled at Whip- panough, now Hanover township, Morris county, New Jersey, where he owned land.

The first iron forge in the country was erected at Whippanough, and the place soon became noted for its iron industry. His will, dated Whippanough, April 22, 1716, was admitted to probate June 22, 1716. In it he leaves five pounds to each of his two sons, John and Thomas Cranmer, and the residue of his estate to his wife Sarah, " to bring up my children." His wife is his sole executrix, and his two sons, John and Thomas, her assistants. He signed his name John Cranmer. His brother- in-law Jeremiah Osborne is a witness. Be- sides the two sons named in the will, there were Jeremiah (q. v.) and probably Stephen, Josiah, and David. Leah Blackman says that Stephen and Sarah Cranmer, his wife, brought their certificate to Little Egg Harbor Meeting in 1729. She also says that William, Josiah, and probably Thomas Cranmer, are the fore- fathers of the Cranmers in Ocean county, and John and Stephen in Burlington county, who located in Bass River township. Adminis- tration was granted March II, 1760, on the estate of a David Cramer, late a soldier in the New Jersey regiment, and he may have been a son of John Cranmer.


(III) Jeremiah, son of John and Sarah (Osborne) Cranmer, was born in Elizabeth- town, the fourth day of twelfth month, 1707 (vide Records of Rahway and Plainfield Monthly Meeting). Present at his birth were Sarah Looker, midwife, Margaret Fraisee, Mary Fraisee, (the last two, sisters of Sarah (Os- borne ) Cranmer ), and Elizabeth Pack, probably a sister of John Cranmer ). Jeremiah lived first at Whippanough, and probably learned to be an iron moulder there, then removed to Barne- gat, where there was also an iron forge, and while there. on September 19, 1738, he mar- ried Abiah Tuttle, "daughter of Sarah Tut- tle, now Mann" (vide his marriage license on file in the secretary of state's office, Trenton, New Jersey). In later years he returned to Morris county, New Jersey, for in 1768 he pe- titioned to be released from the debtor's prison in Morristown. Among his children were David (q. v.), and Jeremiah, and probably Ephraim and Isaac. In David Cramer's fam- ily Bible is the record of the death of Jeremiah Cramer, son of Jeremiah Cramer, September 27, 1775. In the list of soldiers who served in the revolution, from Burlington county, we find David, Isaac, Seymour, Andrew, Josiah, John and Israel Cramer.


(IV) David, son of Jeremiah and Abiah (Tuttle) Cramer, was born probably in or near Barnegat, New Jersey, April 3, 1748.


He was a soldier in the American revolution, serving with the Burlington county troops. He was a moulder by trade, and removed to Cumberland county, New Jersey, in 1790, where he carried on his trade at the Cumber- land furnace up to the time of his death, which occurred March 25, 1813. He married Mary Pratt Tompkins, September 5, 1778. She was born April 5, 1758, and died September 10, 1837, and was a descendant of Micah Tomp- kins, one of the founders, of Newark, New Jersey. David and Mary Pratt (Tompkins) Cramer are both buried in the cemetery be- longing to the Old Cumberland M. E. Church. The names of their children are copied from David Cramer's family Bible, now in the pos- session of his great-grandson, David Cramer, of Bradford, Pennsylvania : I. Elizabeth, born March 17, 1780, died July 27, 1781. 2. Will- iam, born April 24, 1781, died 1781. 3. Jo- seph (q. v.). 4. David, born January 26, 1784, died August 30, 1795. 5.

(V) Joseph, third child of David and Mary Pratt (Tompkins) Cramer, was born in Burl- ington county, New Jersey, October 9, 1782. He was eight years old in 1790, when his father removed with his family to Cumberland county, New Jersey. Notwithstanding his lack of educational advantages he became pro- ficient in the English branches, and showed ability in mathematics and astronomy. He taught school in New Jersey until 1825, when he started a private school in Philadelphia, at 121 Coates Alley. While here he published many astronomical calculations, and took a prominent part in the controversy which re- sulted in the formation of the Methodist Prot- estant Church, being one of the founders of the church of that denomination at Broad and Cherry streets, Philadelphia. In 1833 he gave

up his school in order to become a minister of the Methodist Protestant Church in New Jer- sey. He died suddenly, March 7, 1846, while on a visit to his son David in Philadelphia, and is buried there in the Honover street burying ground. April 23, 1805, he married Deborah, daughter of David and Thankful Vanhook, at Port Elizabeth, Cumberland county, New Jer- sey. David Vanhook owned the mill at Schooner Landing, in the same county. Jo- seph and Deborah (Vanhook) Cramer had children : 1. Mary, born 1806; married Emley Corson ; issue. 2. Rachel Donnelly, born Jan- uary 1, 1807 ; married Cornelius Davis; issue. 3.

(VI) Isaac, youngest child of Joseph and Deborah (Vanhook) Cramer, was born in old Gloucester county, New Jersey, April 22, 1820. In 1836 he was apprenticed to William Has- kins, a wheelwright on Malden street, between Front and Frankfort streets, Philadelphia, and upon completing his term of apprentice- ship he returned to Gloucester county and worked for Joseph Moore, who had a carriage factory at Kinzeytown. February 17, 1841, he married Mary, widow of Daniel Watson, and daughter of Ephraim and Anna Bee, of Bee's corner, now Salina, Gloucester county, where he purchased a form and followed the occupa- tion of a farmer until the last few years of his life. He subsequently moved to Blackwood, New Jersey, where he died June 15, 1894. His wife, Mary (Bee) Cramer, was born Decem- ber 17, 1810, and died January 26, 1875, and both are interred in the Baptist cemetery, Blackwood, New Jersey. In 1876 Isaac Cra- mer married (second) Mary (Smith) Buzby, widow, by whom he had one child, Emma, born October 8. 1877. The children of Isaac and Mary ( Bee) Cramer, born in Gloucester county, were : I.
