(VI) William, son of Abel Bacon, was one of the most celebrated men of his day and gen- eration in Salem county. He was born at Bacon's Neck, June 30, 1802. He was a clergy- man and a physician, and during a long life served an able ministry in Alloway Pittsgrove and Woodstown, New Jersey. After receiving his early education at Greenwich, New Jersey, he entered the University of Pennsylvania with the idea of becoming a minister. After completing his college course, however, he entered the medical department of the univer- sity from which he graduated at the early age of twenty with the degree of M. D. He then commenced the practice of his profession at Allowaystown, New Jersey, and while there became convinced that it was his duty to preach the gospel. He was consequently or- dained as an evangelist, and began journeying throughout counties of South Jersey preach- ing. In 1830 the Rev. William Bacon became pastor of the Baptist church at Pittsgrove, and in 1833 he went to Woodstown, finally, in 1841, assuming charge of the church at Dividing Creek. Here he remained for the next eleven years. In 1852 he retired from the ministry and devoted himself entirely to his medical practice. For two terms the Rev. William Bacon, M. D., was a member of the New Jersey state legislature, and for twelve years he was one of the superintendents of schools or chosen freeholders of Newport, Dividing Creek, Port Norris, Mauricetown and Bucks- huten, Cumberland county, New Jersey. He died in February, 1868.

D., and Mary ( Ray) Bacon, was born at Woodstown, Salem county, New Jersey, April 21, 1836, and is now living in Port Norris, New Jersey. After attending the public schools of Newport, New Jersey, he went to the Tremont Seminary at Norristown, Pennsylvania, and then studied medicine under his father's direction, at the same time teaching school. After two years of this work and training, in 1856, he entered Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and received his degree of M. D. from that institution in 1858. He then began to practice his profession with his father at Newport, New Jersey, where he continued for the next eleven years. After his father's death, in 1868, he removed from Mantua, New Jersey, where for a short time he associated with himself a Dr. Turner. He then came to Port Norris at a time when that place was very small, the railroad to it being only just built. He was the first physician in the town, and he is today the oldest medical practitioner in southern New Jersey. In his long and useful career he has been most successful, has thoroughly endeared himself to the community in which he has chosen to cast his lot, and no citizen of Port Norris is more highly esteemed. Like his father, Dr. Bacon is a member of the Baptist church and a Republican. He is a member also of the Cumberland County Medi- cal Society ; for three years was coroner for Cumberland county, and for thirty years was the overseer of the poor of Commercial town- ship, Cumberland county. He has always been a great lover of books and has gathered to- gether a most magnificent library ; he has now
practically retired from business and has given himself up to the enjoyment of his books and a comfortable old age.

SHERK For many years the Sherk family has left its impress upon the his- tory and institutions of Lebanon county, Pennsylvania, and it is rather with that state than with New Jersey that its affiliations ought to be found. Dr. Harry Huber Sherk, however, has already added to New Jersey's roll of honor the name of his family, and it is impossible to speak of the representative men of Camden, New Jersey, without giving some account of what he is and has done. Dr. Sherk is the grandson of Casper Sherk, and the son of Abraham and Rebecca (Huber) Sherk, of Lebanon county, Pennsylvania, where he was born March 24, 1859. His mother was the daughter of Abraham Huber, of Chambers- burg, Franklin county, Pennsylvania. His father was born August 12, 1809, in Lebanon county.
Dr. Sherk was sent for his early education to the public schools of Lebanon county, and then entered the Lebanon Valley College at Anvil, Pennsylvania. After leaving this insti- tution he went to the College of Pharmacy at Philadelphia, where he graduated with the degree of Ph. G. He then went to the Jeffer- son Medical College, of Philadelphia, from which he received his M. D. degree in 1886, immediately after which he came to Camden, New Jersey, where he became connected with the dispensary of the Cooper Hospital. After remaining here for a time, he set up in the general practice of his profession in Camden. where he has remained ever since. His prac- tice rapidly increased, and his pleasing person- ality, skill in the treatment of disease, and acumen in diagnosis, rapidly brought him suc- cess and a most lucrative practice. In the medical society to which he belongs he is re- garded as one of the great authorities and his opinion carries the greatest weight. He is a member of the New Jersey State Medical Association, Camden County Medical Society.

ROBERTS The Roberts family of New Jersey is another instance of the men who sought peace and prosperity and the free exercise of their newly acquired religious convictions in the Quaker colonies of West Jersey, the founder of the family being among those who came over to the new world in the second ship which left English ports for the Delaware.
(I) John Roberts and his wife, Sarah, be- longed to the parish of Ourton, county War- wick, England, and having been converted to the tenets of George Fox they embarked for West Jersey in the ship "Kent" and landed at New Castle on the Delaware in August, 1677. with the first shipload of settlers sent out by the proprietors. He was a farmer, and settled on two hundred and sixty-seven acres which he had surveyed to him on the north branch of the Penisaukin creek, living with his family in a cave until his log house could be erected. He afterwards had other tracts of land sur- veyed for him further up the stream and reaching into Evesham township. In 1682 he and William Matlack and Timothy Hancock established the Friends meeting called the Adams meeting. His house was built near the present turnpike between Moorestown and Camden. His widow, who survived him many years, was an exceptionally bright and clever woman with a keen intellect and a remarkable business ability. In 1696 she signed the agree- ment as one of the taxpayers when the town- ship of Chester was organized, and she was one of the grantees of the land for the Adams meeting burying ground in 1700.
