a faithful deacon of the Plymouth church. At his death in 1668-69 it was written in the town records that he was "an approved servant of God, and a useful man in his place." He made his last will January 25, 1669, which was witnessed by two staunch Pilgrims, John Cot- ton and Thomas Cushman. His wife, Abigail, was appointed to administer his estate, an in- ventory of which was made by Thomas South- worth. Of his children seven sons and three daughters survived him, all of whom lived to mature years and became founders of large families. Of this large and influential family, which greatly multiplied and replenished the earth, all of the children settled at first in the New England colonies, except Benajah, who emigrated to East Jersey about 1671.

CONARD


The first little band of German emigrants set sail for Pennsyl- vania in the ship "Concord,"


July 24, 1683. There were thirteen men with their families, comprising thirty-three persons, nearly all of whom were relatives, and all from Crefeld, a city of the lower Rhine in Germany, a few miles from the borders of Holland. Among the number on board the ship was Thones Kunders, a man at that time about twenty-five or thirty years old, and his wife Elin, who is supposed to have been a sister of William Streypers, who also was one of the immigrants. Probably all of those on board the "Concord" on this voyage were Menonites and Friends in religious faith, and both of these sects believed in inward piety and a godly humble life, considered all strife and warfare as unchristian, abstained from taking oaths, opposed a paid ministry, favored silent prayer and exercised strict discipline over their members. Before starting for America Thones Kunders had purchased a warrant for five hundred acres of land to be located in Pennsylvania, being the same which one Len- art Arets had previously bought of William Penn. The land was at Germantown, in the north part of the present city of Philadelphia, and it was there that our ancestor settled down with his wife and three boys to work out for himself a livelihood in America. While liv- ing in Crefeld he had carried on the trade of a blue dyer, and continued the same after set- tling at Germantown. In 1683, very soon after their arrival, the first meeting of Friends was held in the house of Thones Kunders, and it is probable that the meetings were con- tinued to be held there until the erection of the first meeting house, in 1686. In the course of time this ancestor, Thones Kunders, came to be known as Dennis Conard, or Conrad, as otherwise frequently written. He had seven children : Cunraed, Madtis, John, Ann, Agnes, Henry and Elizabeth, the first three of whom were born in Crefeld and the others at Ger- mantown. This Thones Kunders, or Dennis Conard, was progenitor of a numerous family of descendants, who in later generations have become well scattered throughout Chester,

self study. When old enough to work he found employment in various clerical capaci- ties up to 1895, when he took up the work of inspecting and testing iron pipes, which he had learned partly from his father but in greater part, perhaps, through his own studies and practical experience. This inspection work has become his chief occupation, in the per- formance of which he maintains an office in Burlington, while his actual work frequently calls him to distant parts of the country. He is a thorough business man and in his special field of work is regarded as an expert. Mr. Conard is a member of the board of education and also of the city council of Burlington.

DONOHUE James Donohue, a native of Ireland, came to America when a young man and set- tled in New Brunswick, living there until the time of his death in 1880. He married Jane Reynolds, born in Ireland and died in New Brunswick in 1883.


(II) Dr. Frank M. Donohue, son of James and Jane (Reynolds) Donohue, was born in New Brunswick, August 17, 1859, and ac- quired his early education in the public schools and grammar school of that city. Subse- quently he took a special course in chemistry at Rutgers, and later for two years was a student at St. Francis Xavier College, New York City. He studied medicine under the direction of Dr. Clifford Morrogh, of New


Brunswick, one of the leading men of his pro- fession in the state, and made the course of the medical department of the New York University, graduating M. D. in 1881, magna cum laude, winner of the highest prize of five hundred dollars for general proficiency. And as he won high honors as a student of the medical course at the university, so too has he attained distinction in professional life, for he has come to be recognized as one of the most successful surgeons of this state. Since he came to the degree Dr. Donohue has practiced general medicine and surgery in New Bruns- wick, although his fame as a surgeon is known throughout the region. He was the first sur- geon in New Jersey to successfully perform the Caesarian section operation, and this achievement alone has given him wide celeb- rity, although his skill and success in general surgery in later years have added to his popu- larity in all professional circles. He is a close and constant student, avoids the compli- cations of politics and devotes his attention solely to professional employments. He is a member of the American Medical Association, the New Jersey State Medical Society, ex- president of the Middlesex County Medical So- ciety and an honorary member of the Somer- set County Medical Society.


The hospital and other principal professional appointments of Dr. Donohue are: Visiting surgeon to St. Peter's General Hospital and the Wells Memorial Hospital ; consulting sur- geon to the Somerset County Hospital at Som- erville; railroad surgeon for the Pennsylva- nia Railroad Company; medical examiner for the Equitable Life, Mutual Life, Metropolitan Life, Mutual Benefit Life, Prudential Life, Provident Life and Trust, Connecticut Mutual Life, and Northwestern Life insurance com- panies, and confidential examiner for the Trav- ellers' Life Insurance Company. He is a trustee of the New Jersey State Home for Boys, a vice-president and director of the People's National Bank of New Brunswick, director of the New Brunswick Trust Com- pany, and trustee of the New Brunswick Sav- ings Institution. He is the owner of a hand- some country property of one hundred acres, "Cedarcrest," near Bound Brook, New Jersey.


In 1884 Dr. Donohue married Elizabeth, daughter of George Buttler, for many years a leading citizen and business man of New Brunswick. He was one of the pioneers of the gold regions of California, a "49er," and after a few years in the far west he returned east and afterward became prominently iden-

tified with the industrial life of New Bruns- wick, proprietor of a large sash, door and blind factory and planing mill, and one of the foremost business men of the city for many years. He married Harriet Ann Voorhees. Dr. Frank M. and Elizabeth ( Buttler) Dono- hue have three children, all born in New Brunswick: Mary D., born August 7, 1885; Elizabeth, March 27, 1897; Frank, March 12, 1899.


BOORAEM The Booraem, Boerum and Van Boerum families belong to that noble and stalwart group of colonists and settlers who came originally from Holland to New Netherland, and then emigrated again from the province of New York to the province of New Jersey where they made names and homes for them- selves and reputations for their descendants to be proud of and to imitate.


(I) Willem Jacobse, founder of the family, was a resident of the little village of Boerum in Friesland, and being a staunch adherent of the Prince of Orange, he found himself obliged in order to escape the persecution under the Duke of Alva and the Spanish Inquisition, to leave his native land for the freedom and safety of the western world. Consequently he emi- grated with his two sons, Hendrick and Jacob, to New Amsterdam in 1657, and settling at Flatbush spent there the remainder of his life. He was born in 1617, and died before 1698. In 1657 and in 1662 and 1663, he is re- corded as being one of the magistrates of the town. His name is on the assessment roll of 1675, and he took the oath of allegiance there in 1687. He married Geertje Hendrickse, and had four children who are of record: I. Hen- drick Willemse, who is referred to below. 2. Jacob Willemse, emigrated with his father and brother, died before 1698, and married, June 15, 1684, Geertruyd De Beavois, from Leyden. 3. Geertruy Willemse, probably the person of that name who married Francis du Puis. 4. Hillegont Willemse.


(II) Hendrick Willemse van Boerum, the eldest son of Willem Jacobse and Geertje Hen- drickse, was born in Boerum, about 1642, ac- companied his father in his emigration to this country, and is found in Flatbush in 1675 and 1676, and in the census of 1698 is registered among the inhabitants of New Lots. In 1687 he took the oath of allegience in Flatbush, and two years previously he was one of the pat- entees of the town in the charter of Governor Dongan. May 27, 1679, he bought of his


father a farm in Flatbush adjoining on the south side his father's plantation and on the north that of the Widow Hegeman, deceased, with meadows at Canarsie and lot number 16 in the new lots of the said town. About 1663 he married Maria Ariaens and had four chil- dren of record : I. Hendrick, baptized July 22, 1683. 2. Arie or Adriaen, who removed to Freehold, New Jersey, born 1666, married Sarah Smock. 3. Louise, baptized in Flat- bush, October 24, 1680. 4. Hendrick, who is referred to below.


(III) Hendrick, the son of Hendrick Will- emse and Maria Ariaense Boerum, was born in Flatbush. He changed the name to its present spelling ; he moved to Bound Brook. Among his children was Nicholas, who is re- ferred to below.


(IV) Nicholas, the son of Hendrick Booraem, was born near Bound Brook, So- merset county, New Jersey, in 1714, and set- tled near New Brunswick. Among his chil- dren was Nicholas, who is referred to below.
