As its name indicates the Dea- DEACON con family of New Jersey and of England has an ecclesiastical
origin, and the family can be traced back as far as the time of William the Conqueror, when in the distribution of land, recorded in Domes- day Book, Walter le Deacon is styled "tenant in capite," denoting the most honorable tenure by which lands could be held in that day, name- ly, immediately from the king. It was the clerical standing of the founder of the family also which gave the design for its arms, which are an arm grasping a sheaf of wheat, symbol- ical of the servant of the church distributing its alms to the poor. Such was the founder and estate of the family which has since its day become so distinguished, both in England and America.

don, was born in 1642, in Church Waltham, county Essex, England, and died in Northamp- ton township, Burlington county, West Jersey, in September or October, 1725. He is sup- posed to have been a lineal descendant of Wal- ter V. Deacon. Becoming a Friend, he set sail to the Quaker colonies on the Delaware in the ship "Willing Mind," John Newcomb, master, which arrived in West Jersey, November 3, 1677. He was accompanied by his father, his wife Frances, of Dedford, county Kent, and a servant or indentured man whose passage he had paid, Thomas Edwards. He settled at New Salem, in Fenwick's colony, but soon re- moved to Alloway's Creek, near Hancock's bridge, Salem county, where he soon became a man of consciousness in the Society of Friends and in the civil and political life of the com- munity in which he dwelt. The transaction of many important matters of business were in- trusted to his hand. He was a trustee for the purchasing of lands for a meetinghouse and burial-ground, and the then big oak tree of Salem which was standing as late as 1880 marked the second plot in that vicinity selected by him and others for God's acre.
He called himself, from his business in Eng- land, a feltmaker; but his designation in all legal documents, except where his official titles were used, was gentleman, indicating, accord- ing to the custom of that day and generation, that he was entitled to wear coat armor. In the Society of Friends from 1677 to 1694 he was frequently chosen as committeeman, trus- tee, or delegate to the conventions held at New- town and Philadelphia. He never came under censure except once, when as the minutes re- cord, December 28, 1692, "John Thompson and Andrew Thompson ordered to speak to George Deacon, Edward Bellamy and Edward Wade to know the reason why they broke up the meeting before Joseph White had done his declaration, and give their answer to the next monthly meeting." This answer must have been satisfactory, as the next monthly meeting ordered the above minute "put out." He was one of the signers of the grants and concession, and at an early period was president of the board of proprietors of West Jersey. From 1682 to 1685 he was a representative of the general assembly and also one of the justices for Salem. In 1685 he was a commissioner for laying out highways, and also a representative for the Salem Tenth. In 1696 he became king's attorney and in 1701 provincial judge, the last position being one of the highest in the prov- ince. Under Lord Cornbury and General
Hunter, during their governorships, he was a member of the council, and 'as such took a leading part in the troubles between the royal governors and the people which eventuated in the establishment of the popular liberties and the adoption of forms of government which bore their fruit nearly a century later. In these controversies George Deacon was always in the side of the people, and when Queen Anne re- moved some of his associates, in compliance with public sentiment and policy she confirmed him and three other officials in their position. An enumeration of all the offices that he held and an acount of all that he did would neces- sitate writing the history of West Jersey in his day, as he was undoubtedly the most active and influential man not only in Salem county, where he settled at first, but also in Burlington county, to which he removed about 1704. Many relics still exist of this old pioneer; and his transactions proved him to have been an up- right, intelligent and freeminded Quaker who had the confidence not only of his home com- munity but of all in authority in the mother country, who, although strangers to him, be- sought him to accept trusts of importance which required execution in a land to them foreign. The correspondence still extant be- tween his wife and her relatives, the Bernards and the farms of Bishop's Burton, are curious old evidences of George Deacon's high posi- tion and great worth and of the good circum- stances of his family.
His first wife, Frances, apparently died with- out issue, and July 30, 1688, he declared his intention of marriage with Margaret Denn, of Salem, who lived but a short time after her marriage. May 10, 1692, he laid before the meeting again his intentions of marriage with Susanna, daughter of Robert Ashton, of New Castle, then in the province of Pennsylvania, now in the state of Delaware. In 1693 he was married to Martha Farm, widow of Simon Charles, of Northampton township, Burling- ton county, who bore him four children: I. George, born 1695 ; died 1729, leaving a widow Jane and probably no children. 2. Mary, born 1697 ; married Edward Smith. 3. Martha, born 1700; married Samuel Shivers. 4. John, referred to below.
(II) John, son of George and Martha (Farm) Charles, was born in Salem county, New Jersey. August 16, 1702, and died in Bur- lington county, November 26, 1760. March 26, 1726, he married Hester, daughter of John and Elizabeth ( Frampton) Wills, granddaugh- ter of James and Hester (Gardiner) Wills,

After leaving school he took up farming under his father, and has since inherited the old homestead which has been in his family for generations. Here he has spent his life in agricultural pursuits, and like his father before him became one of the most influ- ential men of his community. For ten years he was the township clerk, and for twelve more he served as the district clerk. He is a mem- ber of the Mount Holly Meeting of Friends, and also a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
