The will is witnessed by John Woodhull, Sarah Woodhull, and "Sally Woodhull, jr."
The name of Dirck Sutphen's wife is lost, but from the fact that she is not mentioned in the will it is probable that she was dead at the time when it was written. Of the eight children mentioned in the will, Mary married Jacob Van Arsdalen; Sarah married a Freeman; John is referred to below; Naomi married a Tone. Joseph and David were privates in Captain Walton's company of light dragoons in the revolution, and of Daniel and Rebecca nothing more is known.
(IV) John, fifth child and third son of Dirck Sutphen, married Lydia Baker ; children : Dirck or Richard, referred to below ; John, re- ferred to below; Daniel, born 1818, married Eliza Woodruff, and had children-Carlyle Edgar and Gertrude; Mary Sutphen; Ann ; Phebe, possibly the Phebe Sutphen, of Somer-
set county, who married Isaac, son of Ichabod and grandson of Joseph Leigh, of Perth Am- boy; Sarah Sutphen, and Elizabeth.
(V) Dirck, or Richard, eldest child and son of John and Lydia (Baker) Sutphen, was born in Freehold township, Monmouth coun- ty, in 1796. His wife was Margaret, daughter of Moses Morris and Margaret Scudder, and granddaughter of Reuben Morris and Eliza- beth Wetherill. Reuben Morris, her grand- father, was born September 16, 1737, died De- cember 3, 1801, married, May 30, 1762, Eliza- beth Wetherill, and had Moses and George. Moses Morris was born May 15, 1767, mar- ried, November 13, 1793, Margaret, daughter of Lemuel Scudder, and a daughter of Rich- ard Longstreet, granddaughter of Jacob and Abia (Rowe) Scudder, of Huntington, Long Island, great-granddaughter of Benjamin and Mary Scudder, of Huntington, great-great- granddaughter of Thomas and Mary Scudder, of Salem, Massachusetts, and of Southold and Huntington, Long Island, and great-great-great- granddaughter of "Old Goodman" Thomas Scudder, and his wife Elizabeth, the emigrants in 1635 to Salem, Massachusetts, from Dar- enthe, county Kent, England. Moses and Mar- garet (Scudder) Morris had children: John B., Scudder, Elias, William, Margaret (mar- ried Dirck Sutphen), Elizabeth and Caroline Morris. When he was first married, Moses took his bride for her new home to the old house of his grandfather, John Morris, and here all their children were born. At this time Moses was quite wealthy, lived in "great style," owned a number of slaves, and was lavishly hospitable. However, he lost his money and removed to a farm near Princeton, and Dirck Sutphen, when he married Margaret Morris, rented the old Morris place and three of his children were born there. With these three children (Reuben Morris, Lydia and Mar- garet), about 1825, Dirck Sutphen and his wife migrated overland in a canvassed covered wagon to the southern shore of Lake Ontario, to a town named Ontario, and took up a farm there, where the remainder of their children were born, his wife dying when their young- est child was an infant. Mr. Sutphen was married twice afterwards, but there were no children by either marriages. John Conover Morris, referred to later, obtained the Morris plantation and his children were all born there. Children of Dirck and Margaret ( Morris) Sutphen : Reuben Morris, referred to below ; Lydia ; Margaret ; Mary ; John ; William Henry ; Gilbert : Elias, and one who died in infancy.

(VI) Reuben Morris, eldest child of Dirck or Richard and Margaret ( Morris) Sutphen, was born on the old homestead near Cranbury, New Jersey, 1819; died in 1903, at the home of his son, Theron Y. Sutphen, at Short Hills, New Jersey. He obtained his early education at Marion Academy, New York, and matric- ulated at the University of New York in 1845. He taught school at Freehold in the old Truant school house to obtain the money needed for his medical education, and obtained the degree of M. D. in 1847. He located in the town of Walworth, Wayne county, New York, and there practiced for twenty years, removing with his family to Newark, New Jersey, in 1867, where he continued in the practice of his profession thirty-four years, completing fifty- four years of active medical practice. His wife was Hannah Virginia, second child of John Conover and Margaret (Bergen) Morris, granddaughter of George Morris, and great- granddaughter of Reuben Morris, referred to above. George Morris, son of Reuben Morris, was born July 10, 1773, died January 4, 1856; married, December 7, 1796, Eleanor Coven- hoven ; children: Reuben; John Conover, re- ferred to below; Moses; Phebe; Jane; Ann, married James, son of William Scudder, of Scudder's Mills, Middlesex county, New Jer- sey, and Eleanor, daughter of James Craig, of Monmouth, New Jersey, grandson of Colonel William Scudder, of Huntington, Long Island, and Sarah, daughter of Mathys Van Dyke, of New Brunswick, and Noltys Laen, grand- daughter of Jans Janse, of New Brunswick, and Annetje, daughter of Jan Janse Verkerk, great-granddaughter of Jans Janse, of Amster- dam, and New Utrecht, Long Island, and Teyntje, daughter of Thys Janse Lanen van Pelt, the emigrant from Liege in 1663; and great-great-granddaughter of Jan Thomasse, son of Thomas Janse, of Amsterdam, who with his wife Tryntje Haegan and his children settled at New Utrecht in 1652. Colonel Will- iam Scudder was second son and fourth child of Jacob and Abia (Rowe) Scudder, whose ancestry is given above.
John Conover, second child and son of George and Eleanor (Covenhoven) Morris, was born March 21, 1799; died October 19, 1874; married, February 12, 1822, Margaret Bergen, a lineal descendant of Hans Hansen Bergen, a ship carpenter by trade, and a native of Bergen, Norway, whence he emigrated to the Netherlands while quite young, and in 1633 came to New Amsterdam as one of the company of settlers who accompanied Gov-
ernor Wouter van Twiller. He occupied a lot on what is now Pearl street, New York City, and owned extensive plantations elsewhere, and six years after his emigration, he married Sara, elder daughter of Joris Jansen de Rapelje and his wife Catalyntje Trico, of Paris and New Netherland, whose younger daughter Marytje had married Mighiel Paulussen. For a long time these two daughters of Joris Jansen de Rapelje were regarded as the first two chil- dren born in New Netherland, but documents recently brought to light have proved conclu- sively that that honor belongs to Jan, son of Guillaume Vigne and Adrienne Cuville, from Valenciennes, France, he having been born in the trading post on Manhattan Island in 1614, while Sara de Rapelje was not born until June 19, 1625. Children of John Conover and Mar- garet (Bergen) Morris: Eleanor, born June 8, 1824; Hannah Virginia, born July 13, 1826, living in February, 1909, widow of Reuben Morris Sutphen, as stated above; Caroline Bergen Morris, born December 8, 1828, de- ceased; Jane Morris, March 30, 1831; Anna Elizabeth Morris, August 6, 1834; George Morris, March 20, 1838, deceased.
Reuben Morris and Hannah Virginia (Mor- ris ) Sutphen had children : Theron Yeomans, referred to below; and Ella Virginia, born March 2, 1855, married Edward L. Hanken- son, of Newark. Dr. Sutphen and his wife were born in the same house, near Princeton, a rather strange coincidence, her birth occur- ring seven years after his, and in it too was performed their marriage.
(VII) Theron Yeomans, eldest child and only son of Reuben Morris and Hannah Vir- ginia (Morris) Sutphen, was born in Wal- worth, Wayne county, New York, June 6, 1850, and is now living in Newark, New Jersey, and at Short Hills, same state. After receiving his early education at the Walworth Academy he was brought by his father to Newark in 1867, and sent to the Newark high school, from which he graduated in 1869. He then attend- ed the University of New York for one year, and in 1871 entered the medical college in con- nection with Bellevue Hospital, New York, where he graduated and received his degree of M. D. in 1873. Returning to Newark, he be- gan as a general practitioner and continued this line of work for three years, when he made a specialty of diseases of the eye and ear, to which he has confined his attention ever since. In 1873 Dr. Sutphen became an attend- ing physician at the Newark City Dispensary, and shortly afterwards was appointed one of the

district physicians. In 1874 he was appointed assistant surgeon in the eye and ear department of St. Michael's Hospital, since which time he has been associated with that institution, a period of thirty-five years, in the same capacity, with the exception of one year when he was assistant eye and ear surgeon to the Newark Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary. In 1880 he was instrumental in reorganizing the eye and ear clinic at St. Michael's Hospital, which had been abandoned some time previously owing to the organization of the Newark Char- itable Eye and Ear Infirmary, previously men- tioned. He has also served as consulting eye and ear surgeon to All Souls Hospital, Morris- town, New Jersey, and until recently consult- ing oculist to the Memorial Hospital, Orange, New Jersey. He is a member of the state and county medical societies, the Practitioners' Club, of Newark, New Jersey, the New York Academy of Medicine, the American Medical Association, the Congress of Physicians and Surgeons of America, the American Ophthal- mological Society, American Otological Soci- ety, American Association of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, Holland Society, of New York, life member of the New Jersey Histor- ical Society, and member of the Essex Club, of Newark, and of the South Park Presbyterian Church for thirty years. He is a Republican in politics.

In the line here traced the Kin- KINNEY ney family has been resident in New Jersey since about the mid- dle of the eighteenth century. Originally estab- lished in Morris county, where it possessed extensive landed property, it was identified with the early iron manufacturing industry, and took an active part in public affairs before, during, and after the revolution, and removed
in the latter part of the eighteenth century to Newark, and in that city has since continued. The succession in the male line from the first appearance of the family in New Jersey is as follows: (I) Thomas Kinney, of Morris coun- ty (1731-93). (II) Abraham Kinney, of Morris county, and Newark ( 1762-1816). (III) Will- iam Burnet Kinney, of Newark (1799-1880). (IV) Thomas Talmadge Kinney, of Newark (1821-1900). (V) William Burnet Kinney. of Newark (1871).
Of pure Scottish lineage, traceable with gene- alogical precision to the twelfth century, this family bears no ancestral relationship to other present New Jersey families of the name Kin- ney, or Kinne, which are of Dutch origin, de- scended from Adriaen Pieterse Kenne, of Flat- lands, Long Island, 1687.
Kinney, as a Scotch surname, is derived from Caennard, a local or place name, signi- fying "the high head," whence the form Kin- naird, which is found at a very remote period in the counties of Stirling, Forfar, Aberdeen and Perth. As in the cases of practically all ancient families, the orthographical variations are numerous. These include, in the Scotch records, the following forms: Keany, Kenne, Kenney, Kenny, Keny, Kilkenny, Kinnaird, Kinnear, Kinner, Kinney, Kynard, Kyner, Kyn- naird, Kynneir, McKinnie and McKynnie. Even in America there were several variations in early times, the different spellings Kinney. Kenney, Kenny and Keney appearing in the eighteenth century New Jersey records.
In the Scottish line the first of whom there is authentic account was William de Kyner, proprietor of extensive lands under the juris- diction of the Abby of Balmerino, in Fifeshire. near Dundee, during the reign ( 1165-1214) of William I., "the Lion." Balmerino Abbey (named for the ancient village of Balmery- nach) was founded by Queen Emergarde, con- sort of William I., and in the next reign a monastery of the Cistercian order was attach- ed to it, both being royally endowed. For gen- erations the descendants of William De Kyner were benefactors of the abbey. Two of them served as commendatators. Land grants were made to the institution by his son, Simon de Kynner, and grandson, Sir John de Kynner ; and in the eighth generation David Kinneir, "of the Ilk," was bailie to the abbot of Bal- merino. The arms of the Kinney family were registered as follows: "Sable, on a bend or three martlets ( or Kinnerie birrs) vert. Crest, two anchors saltire proper. Motto: Vivo in spes (I live in hope). An earlier bearing was

three birds displayed on a bend, and a still earlier one a fesse between three birds dis- played.
Twelfth in descent from William de Kyner was Farquhar M'Kynnie, whose name is also written M'Kinney, Kynney and Kinney. He was of Kilmore and Kilbride, Scotland, and in 1682 inherited from his grandfather lands in Levinchullein, county Bute. His wife, Agnes Lauder, was a descendant of de Lavedro, one of the Anglo-Norman barons who came to Scotland with Malcolm Canmore in 1056. The Lauders belonged to the historic families of Scotland and were conspicuous in church affairs, several of the name rising to the dignity of bishop. The children of Farquhar and Agnes (Lauder ) M'Kynnie were : I. James, see below. 2. John, whose name in the American records is written Kenny and Keney. He emigrated to America, and resided at Hanover, Morris county, New Jersey. In 1840, at the first ses- sion of the court after the organization of that county, he was appointed overseer of the poor and surveyor of highways for Hanover town- ship (1749-52), was high sheriff of the county, and for twenty-five years was one of the most prominent and influential citizens. In his will, proved March 19, 1766, he names daughters Mary Parritt, Johannah Price, Elizabeth Kin- ney (wife of Thomas Kinney, below ) and Abi- gail Cooper. 3. Mordecai, who came to Leb- anon, Hunterdon county, New Jersey. 4. Thomas, who it is believed also came to New Jersey.
James Kinney, eldest son of Farquhar and Agnes (Lauder) M'Kynnie, of Kilmore and Kilbride, was born about 1676. He remained in Scotland, inheriting from his father con- siderable estates in Carlung, Kilbride, Eister Brigend, Kilwyning and Rankey, and also (it is believed) having lands in Potterstown and Tye-croft, which his great-grandmother, Eliz- abeth Lynn, had received from her father. James Kinney married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Kelsey; two of her brothers, Thomas and Daniel Kelsey, removed to New Jersey. Children: 1. Thomas, see below. 2. Daniel, who lived in Scotland; married, and left two daughters, both of whom died unmarried.
