EARL It is said by antiquarians that the family of Earle is of very ancient origin and can be traced back to a Saxon ancestor of a period more remote than that of the Norman conquest. In the reign of Henry II., crowned A. D. 1154, there were Earles in Beckington, Somersetshire, and by one author it is stated that "so far back as the seventh Henry II., John de Erlegh paid five marks for the scutage of his lands at Becking- ton." Thus it is seen that the Earles are a very ancient family of England and were it desirable abundant proof is available to show that the family also is one of much distinction. There were no less than eleven coats-of-arms granted to various members of the English

family, but as the author of the work entitled "Ralph Earle and His Descendants" says "in all my intercourse, either personal or by writ- ten correspondence, I have found none who wore or bore a coat-of-arms, and in only one instance have I heard of one in the possession of any family."
(I) Ralph Earle, immigrant, first appears in New England colonial history as of New- port, Rhode Island, where his name is found in the records as early as 1638. Of his birth- place or place of residence previous to immi- grating to America there appears nothing like reliable information. There always has been a tradition among his descendants that he came from Exeter in 1634, and there is little doubt that he married in England and that his wife came over with him, although her family name is unknown. She was called Joan, although her baptismal name appears so written and also Ione and Jone. Ralph Earle was ad- mitted inhabitant of "the Island now called Aqueedneck" in 1638, and appears to have been a person of some consequence in the plantation . April 29, 1650, Ralph Earle and five others were chosen "for the committee for the General Assembly at Newport in May next," and on November 12, 1650, it was "voated & granted that Ralph Erl's house wherein he now dwelleth be recorded & Inn, in ye room of ye former vote that he was an Innkeeper." In 1651 he was elected one of the committee "to proportion every man's farm," and in the same year he was chosen town treasurer. He fulfilled various other offices, serving as grand juror, witnessing deeds and other instuments, and in 1667 joined the "troop of horse" of which subsequently he became captain. He claimed ownership of "the lands of the Dutch House of Good Hope, now Hartford, Connecticut, and commenced a lawsuit therefore," claiming that he pur- chased the land of Underhill in August, 1653, and paid twenty pounds sterling for it. He died in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in 1678. He and his wife Joan had five children: I. Ralph, married Dorcas Sprague. 2. William, see post. 3. Mary, married (first) William Cory, (second) Joseph Timberlake. 4. Mar- tha, married William Wood. 5. Sarah, mar- ried Thomas Cornell.
(II) William, son of Ralph and Joan Earle, is first mentioned in 1634, when he sold his interest in certain lands to one James Sands. In 1658 he became freeman of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and in the same years was ad- mitted freeman of the colony. In 1665 it was
ordered that William Earle and William Cory have "one acker of land on the hill cauled Briges hill, or some other conveniant place in this Townes Comons, and a quarter of an acker of land lying aganst ye towne pond over against William Earle's new dewlinge house, and these two parcells of land they are to have and to enjoy to them and theres, so long as they main- tain a wind mill in this town for the townes use, Provided that if they maintain not the said mill then the said pearcells of land it to be returned and laid down to the townes use and dispose." In 1668 the wind mill had been erected and the town at the request of Earle and Cory annulled the above order and ex- changed two acres of ground belonging to Earle and Cory. "The Eare marke of Wiliam Earl's cattell is a hapeny under the side of ye further Eare and a slit on the Nere Eare, of 12 yeares standing, and Entred upon Record by me, Richard Bulgar, towne Clarke, Deec ye 5th, 1667." In 1670 William Earle removed to Dartmouth, Rhode . Island, where he had large interests in lands, and remained there several years. He owned two thousand acres from his claims in the original division of the land. The records show that he was a man of importance as well as a large land holder, and in 1691 "the General Assembly for their Ma- jesties Collony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, in New England, in Portsmouth on said Rhode Island, for the Election of Gen- eral Officers for the said Collony," was held "at the house of William Earle, it being re- moved from Newport by reason of the Dis- temper." In 1692 he was a member of the "grand Inquest at Newport," was deputy from Portsmouth to the general assembly at Provi- dence in October, 1704, and at Newport in 1706. He made his will November 13, 1713, and provided well for his children and other members of his family. He married (first) Mary, daughter of John and Katherine Walker, and after her death he married Prudence She died January 18, 1718, having survived her husband three years, he having died January 15, 1715. He had seven chil- dren: I. Mary, born 1655; married John Borden. 2. William, see post. 3. Ralph, born 1660, married Mary Hicks. 4. Thomas, mar- ried Mary Taber. 5. Caleb, married Mary 6. John, married Mary Wait. 7. Prudence, married Benjamin Durfee.
(III) William (2), son of William (I) and Mary (Walker) Earle, was born in Ports- mouth, Rhode Island, and after his marriage settled in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, where he

was juryman in 1694, and constable in 1695-96. It appears that he was engaged in a small way in the shipping business, owning an interest in a sloop in which he carried on a coasting trade along the coast of New England, New York and New Jersey. In December, 1697, he came to Springfield, New Jersey, where he purchased the farm on which he ever afterward lived. He was a member of the Society of Friends, many of his descendants followed his example in their religious relations and many of them still continue in that faith. It appears too that this William Earle wrote his name without the final "e," which example has been followed by nearly all of his descendants. The exact date of his death is not known, but his will dated September 23, 1732, was proved May 10, 1733. The baptismal name of his wife was Elizabeth, and by her he had five children: I. Mary, married Jonathan Borden. 2. Martha, mar- ried Thomas Shinn. 3. Child, name unknown; married John Webb. 4. William, married Mrs. Mary Sharpe. 5. Thomas, see post.
(IV) Thomas, son of William (2) and Eliz- abeth Earl, was born in Springfield, New Jersey, and died there in 1778. After the death of his elder brother, William, he lived on his father's homestead, and devised it to his son Thomas. He married, September 6, 1727, Mary Crispin, born May 12, 1705, daugh- ter of Silas and Mary (Stockton-Shinn) Cris- pin, and by her had four children: I. Tanton, born March 9, 1731, see post. 2. Thomas, married (first) Rebecca Newbold, (second) Leah Tucker. 3. William, died before his father. 4. John, died before his father.
(V) Tanton, son of Thomas and Mary (Crispin) Earl, was born in Springfield, New Jersey, March 9, 1731, died there October 24, 1807. He was a farmer and spent his life in Springfield. He married Mary Haines, born September 12, 1732, died June 3, 1811, having borne her husband ten children: I. Thomas, born December 13, 1754 ; married Edith Sykes. 2. Caleb, December 21, 1756; married Esther Gardner. 3. John, October 25, 1758; married (first) Abigail Smith, (second) Abigail Haines. 4. Joseph, see post. 5. Elizabeth, March 7, 1763; married Jonathan Curtis. 6. Mercy, March 19, 1765, died September 20, 1805. 7. Mary, May 25, 1767, married Alex- ander Shreve. 8.

During his professional life he has done a large amount of work as surveyor and civil engineer in the counties of Camden, Burlington and Atlantic.

HAINES The Haines family is said by antiquarians to be of Saxon origin, and first appears in Devonshire, in the West Saxon kingdom, in the early part of the sixth century, among the following of Hengest and Horsa, when the name was known as Hayne. The family was found in England at the time of the conquest, seated in Hayne, Stowford parish, near the Tamcoe on the borders of Cornwall. The name was written Hayne until the compilation of Doomesday Book, when it was changed to Haines. although certain branches of the family still retain the original form of spell- ing.
(I) Richard Haines, of Aynhoe, Northamp- tonshire, England, husbandman, with his wife Margaret and their children, Richard, William, Thomas and Mary, sailed from Downs, Eng-
land, in 1682, in the ship "Amity," for Amer- ica, but Richard the father never reached the shores of this country, having sickened and died on the voyage. A fifth son, Joseph, was born on board the ship. John, the eldest son, had come over about 1680, and made himself a house below Lumberton, on the south branch of Rancocas creek, in New Jersey. The family settled in Burlington, New Jersey, and in 1685 the widow Margaret married a second husband, Henry Bircham, of Nesmamony, Pennsylvania. Thus it is that because of the death of Rich- ard Haines in mid-ocean we have no account of him in this country. He was a member of the Society of Friends. By his wife Mar- ยท garet he had six children, none of whom were born in America. Their children: I. John, married, 1684, Esther Burton. 2. Richard, married, 1699, Mary Carlisle. 3. William, born 1672 (see post). 4. Thomas, born 1674; mar- ried 1692, Elizabeth Austin. 5. Mary, born 1676. 6. Joseph, born 1682; married (first) 1704, Dorothy -; (second) 1722, Eliza- beth Thomas.
(II) William, son and third child of Rich- ard and Margaret Haines, was born in Eng- land, in 1672, and located one hundred acres of land "near Nancutting's Old Plantation" in 1689. In 1712 he acquired lands in Northamp- ton and settled there. He appears to have ac- quired considerable tracts of land, and evi- dently was a person of some importance. His will is dated in 1752, and was admitted to pro- bate April 29, 1754. In 1695 he married Sarah, daughter of John Paine, at the Friends' meet- ing in Burlington, and by her had six children : I. Jacob, born 1699; married Hannah Stokes. 2. Marget (Margaret), born 1701. 3. Nathan, born 1703 ; married Sarah Austin. 4. Samuel (see post ). 5. Nathaniel, born 1707 ; married 1731, Mary Hervey. 6.

He was an energetic busi- ness man, a blacksmith by trade, but a farmer and manufacturer of brick by principal occu- pation. He owned and carried on a good farm, and as his farm lands contained a considerable deposit of clay of excellent quality for brick he devoted a large share of his attention to that manufacture and furnished employment to a large number of workmen. He retired from active pursuits about twelve years be- fore his death, after which the farm and brick- making were carried on by his son Stokes. Mr. Haines was in all respects a substantial man, a born Quaker, although his wife was a Methodist, and he was a firm Democrat of the Jacksonian type. He married about 1820, Mary Ann Woolston, born October 2, 1800, died 1882, a daughter of John Woolston. Ten children were born of this marriage: I. Ben- jamin, died in infancy. 2.

(VII) John Woolston, ninth child of John Staples and Mary Ann (Woolston) Haines,
was born at Vincentown, in Southampton township, March 8, 1839, and was brought up to farm work. His business career was begun as a farmer, but at the end of about four years he turned attention to dealing in live stock and poultry, which he has continued until the present time, although during the period of more than forty years in which he has been identified with the business life of Vincentown, Mr. Haines has been interested in various other directions. For two years he was proprietor of a mercan- tile business there and at one time he owned a cranberry bog, which afterward he sold to his brother. He is a democrat in politics and as such has frequently been elected to public of- fice. He served one year as assessor, three years as collector, and several years as school trustee, twenty years as member of the town- ship committee, and in 1879 and 1880 was member of the New Jersey House of Assem- bly. He is a past master of Central Lodge No. 44, F. and A. M., of Vincentown, and member of Vincentown Lodge No. 23, I. O. O. F.

He settled in Evesham township, Burlington county, New Jersey, near his brother John, and was a farmer.

He married, in 1699, Mary Carlile, who also died in 1746, and both she and her husband were bur- ied in the family burying ground on the old Richard Haines farm, Fostertown, Burlington county.
