He originated and planned a system of study of business methods by correspondence so as not to interfere with regular labor, necessary for daily needs in cases of self-supporting young men, who could not afford time or money to take a course in a business college. A trial of his system proved its practicability and he organized and incorporated the International Correspondence School, established at Scran- ton, Pennsylvania, in 1891, of which he is pro- prietor, and he also organized and incorporated the International Text Book Company, of which he is president. The two corporations are under the one direction and management, the Text Book Company supplying the books, blanks and stationery necessary in carrying out the Correspondence School methods.

Foster, was born in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, January 16, 1876. He was educated in the public schools of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and was graduated in 1892 at Nazareth Hall Mora- vian College, a military school. He found em- ployment on leaving college with the National Drilling and Boring Company, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, for one year, and at the end of that time he was for a short time employed in the National Gas Engine and Metre Company, of Brooklyn, New York. He returned to Scranton in 1894 to take the position of organ- izer and superintendent of the field force of the International Correspondence School, of Scranton, of which his father is proprietor, and he remained in this position up to 1904, when he was obliged to resign on account of ill health, and he established a poultry farm in southern New Jersey, which he relinguished in 1906. He established another at Brown's Mills, Burlington county, which he named the Ran- cocas Poultry Yards, which he made one of the largest established of the kind in the east, and where in 1909 he had ten thousand egg producing hens and the output of the yards amounted to thirty thousand dollars per annum.

(The Roe Line).
A chieftain by the name of Roo or Rollo with a herd of followers came from Norway to the kingdom of the Franks where they acquired by force of arms ownership to large estates which they called Normandy, including the city of Rouen which they took possession of in 842 and made it the capital in France of the Northmen or Norsemen. These Norwegian Vikings in 982 pushed themselves in their little boats across the North Atlantic sea, landed in Greenland, and in 1002 they went further west and south along the coast of Labrador and established Vineland on the coast of New Eng- land and thus preceded Columbus in the line of discovery by nearly five hundred years. But the Norsemen were bold invaders and not per- manent home makers and took possession of,
rather than created, cities, towns and villages. Their descendants are the Normans of history, a warlike, vigorous and brilliant race rapidly adapting themselves to the more civilized forms of life that prevailed in the Frankish kingdom. Roo, Rolf or Rollo had been ban- ished by Harold Haarfager on account of his heracies and he forced Charles the Simple to grant him possession of all the land in the valley of the Seine to the sea and by the time Charles the Bold obtained the crown the in- vaders had firmly planted themselves in the country which then went by the name of Nor- mandy. They adopted the religion, language and manners of the conquered Franks, and inspired their borrowed results of a better civilization with their own splendid vitality. By the twelfth century they had developed a school of narrative history rivaling in celeb- rity the lyric troubadours of the more famed parts of the southern kingdom of the Franks.
William, the duke of Normandy, born 1027, had made his great genius as a leader felt throughout Normandy, and when he came to the dukedom he continued his conquests even beyond the confines of the land of the Franks to England where Norman influences was very prominent in the covenants of Edward the Confessor. But when Harold was chosen to succeed the Conqueror on the English throne the Normans, under the lead of William, as- serted their rights due to an alleged promise from Edward that William of Normandy should be his successor. The battle of Hast- ings, October 14, 1066, gave to William the crown which he accepted December 25, 1066. and the war against the Saxons soon reduced that foe, and Scotland soon followed as a trophy to the Conqueror. Failing to subdue Denmark he withdrew his armada from their coast and raised an army and invaded France, but in the midst of the ashes of Nantes his horse failed him and the fall of the charger resulted fatally to the rider as he died Sep- tember 9, 1087. William the Conqueror gave to his attendants in arms the English name of Roe and as a coat-of-arms a Norman shield emblazoned with a Roebuck. King James I. made Sir Thomas Roe, great-great-grand father of John Roe (q. v.), the American immigrant, embassador to Constantinople, and he was also one of the esquires of Queen Elizabeth who sent the Roe family into Ireland where Pierce Roe was the eighth earl of Ormond.
(I) John Roe came from Ireland to Amer- ica by way of England in 1628. He married Hannah Purrin in 1635. They lived in East

Hampton, Long Island, and in 1655 moved to Drowned Meadows, near Port Jefferson, Long Island, where his home long remained a land- mark. He died at Drowned Meadows, 17II. He left a widow and several children, including Nathaniel (q. v.).
(II) Nathaniel, son of John and Hannah (Purrin ) Roe, was born in Drowned Meadows, Long Island, now Brookhaven, in 1670, and died there in 1752. He was active in town affairs and met death by drowning in Long Island sound. He married Hannah Reeves, born 1678, died 1759, and among their chil- dren was Nathaniel (q. v.).
(III) Nathaniel (2), son of Nathaniel (I) and Hannah (Reeves) Roe, was born at Drowned Meadows, Long Island, about 1700. He enlisted in Captain Alexander Smith's regi- ment of Suffolk county militia for service in the French and Indian war, April 18, 1758. He married, about 1730, Elizabeth Philipse and among their children was William (q. v.).
(IV) William, son of Nathaniel (2) and Elizabeth ( Philipse) Roe, married Maria Van Dusen and among their children was Betsey (q. v.).
(V) Betsey, daughter of William and Maria (Van Dusen) Roe, married S. Finch.
(VI) William Roe, son of S. and Betsey (Roe) Finch, married Mary Kirkpatrick, and among their children was Addie Mary (q. v.).
(VII) Addie Mary, daughter of William Roe and Mary ( Kirkpatrick) Finch, married James Gilbert Bailey, a grocer in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and at one time mayor of the city. They were the parents of one child, Grace Addie (q. v.).
(VIII) Grace Addie, only child of James Gilbert and Addie Mary (Finch) Bailey, was born in Waverly, Pennsylvania, August 18, 1878. She was educated at Waverly Academy, Wyoming Seminary and Scranton high school. She is a member of the Presbyterian church, and of the patriotic society, Daughters of the American Revolution, her revolutionary an- cestor having been Captain William Roe, com- manding a company in Colonel Clinton's regi- ment, Second New York Volunteers. She married, June 14, 1898, Joel McCammet, eldest son of Thomas Jefferson and Fannie ( Mellet ) Foster, of Brown's Mills, New Jersey, of the tenth generation of the Foster family. Their child, Frances Adelaide, was born in Cincin- nati, Ohio, May 20, 1899, and in 1909 is a pupil in the Friends' Academy at Moorestown, New Jersey.
In the most recent compilation of BURR Burr family genealogy the author of that work, in commenting on the New Jersey branch of the family at large, says that he had supposed that "the many families of the name in Central New Jersey were off- shoots from some one of the three Puritan branches of New England, and had confined his researches to them," but from data gathered from various sources "it was discovered that they were descended from one common an- cestor who emigrated from England as early as 1682 and settled near Mount Holly, the county seat of Burlington county."
(I) Henry Burr, immigrant ancestor of the New Jersey families of his surname, first ap- pears in the records of the Friends' meeting house at Mt. Holly, which is a record of the birth of one John Burr, son of Henry and Eliz- abeth Burr, under date of May 29, 1691. Family tradition says that this Henry Burr was a friend of William Penn and accompanied him on his last voyage to this country. He bought a tract of land of eleven hundred acres in Northampton, Burlington county, and settled there. His name appears occasionally in trans- actions relating to the purchase or sale of land and also in the records of the Friends' meet- ings, but he does not appear to have identified himself conspicuously with public affairs, doubtless from the fact that he was a devout Friend and hence concerned himself little with matters outside of his family or the meetings. His will bears date October 29, 1642, and was admitted to probate June II, 1743. He mar- ried Elizabeth, daughter of Robert and Mary (Thredder) Hudson, the latter a daughter of Richard and Mary Thredder, of London, Eng- land. Henry and Elizabeth (Hudson) Burr had nine children: I. John, born May 29, 1691 (see post). 2. Joseph, born 1694 (see post ). 3. Elizabeth, born 1696; married Sam- uel Woolman and became mother of John Woolman, the Quaker preacher and annalist, a very remarkable man in his way, who was a pioneer in the cause of slavery abolition and one of the most conscientious of men. 4. Mary, born 1698; married Jacob Lippincott ; she was a woman so highly esteemed for her christian virtues that the Friends prepared and published a memorial of her after her death. 5. Sarah, born 1701 ; married Caleb Haines, of one of the oldest families of New Jersey. 6. Rebecca, born 1703; married Peter White. 7. Martha, born 1705; married (first) Josiah Holmes ; (second) Timothy Matlack. 8. Will- iam, born 1710. 9. Henry, born 1713.

(II) John, eldest son and child of Henry and Elizabeth (Hudson) Burr, was born May 29, 1691, and was a man of considerable conse- quence in the early history of Mt. Holly and the community in which he lived. In 1728 he was appointed surveyor general of the western divi- sion of New Jersey.

Holly, New Jersey, in which town he died, in 1832, his will being proved January 30, of that year. He was a farmer and lived on the old family homestead in Mt. Holly, his lands including four hundred acres. He was an industrious and prosperous husbandman, and as a man enjoyed the respect of all persons to whom he was known. He married Phebe, daughter of Edmund and Miriam Williams, of Shrewsbury, New Jersey, and by her had nine children: I. Edmund W., born 2d mo., I, 1792. 2.

He was a man of good education and devoted much of his life to teaching school, at which he was very successful and enjoyed consider- able celebrity as a teacher. At one time and for several years he carried on a general mer- chandise store in Medford, New Jersey, and in all respects his business life was a success. In politics he was a Whig, but it does not appear that he took an active part in public affairs. He married (first) Lucy Ann Troth, born April 2, 1807, died February 20, 1829, and by whom he had one child. He married (second) February 8, 1830, Mary, daughter of Obadiah Engle and Patience, daughter of Job Cole and Elizabeth Tomlin.

emigrants. Samuel was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Cole, the emigrants. Obadiah Engle was the son of Joseph Engle and Mary Borton, referred to above. After the death of Charles Burr, Mary (Engle) Burr married (second) Isaac, son of Isaac and Elizabeth (Austin) Haines, for whose ancestry see sketch of the Austin family.
(VI) Samuel Engle, third child and second son of Charles and Mary ( Engle) Burr, was born in Burlington county, New Jersey, March 20, 1836, and is now living in Bordentown, New Jersey. For his early education he at- tended private school taught by his uncle, Will- iam Burr. At the age of eight years he went to his uncle, Samuel C. Engle, and worked on his farm, attending country school at Easton during the winter months. He resided there until sixteen years of age, then went to Moores- town and worked in his brother's store for seven years, and on January 1, 1859, moved to Bordentown and started business for him- self under the name of Richardson & Burr. This continued for about one year, when he bought Mr. Richardson's interest and con- tinued the business alone of general store. His store was located at the corner of Farnsworth avenue and Crosswicks street, the center of the commercial activity of Bordentown, and here by close application to business and fair and equitable methods, Mr. Burr has steadily de- veloped a business of mammoth proportions, constituting in its several branches the most extensive and important enterprise in that sec- tion of Burlington county. At first the busi- ness was carried on by Mr. Burr and his brother, but upon the death of the latter Mr. Burr became the sole owner. When his son, Charles Engle Burr, became of age, he was admitted into partnership in the insurance branch of the business as Samuel E. Burr & Son, a general insurance agency which Mr. Burr started in 1868. For five years he was the special agent of the Franklin Fire Insur- ance Company, with the power of appointing all other agents in New Jersey, three years in Trenton as secretary of the Standard Insur- ance Company, of Trenton, New Jersey. This company was about to wind up its business when he took charge ; he built up its business and had it paying dividends inside of one year. In 1879 he built the Burr block in Borden- town. He is the president of the Bordentown board of health and of the water board. He has been a member of the common council, and a number of years ago was the candidate of the assembly.
