STATE OF NEW JERSEY.


thony (I) and Hendrickje (Van de Water) Rutgers, was baptized April 29, 1711, in New York, and died before his father. He mar- ried, January 10, 1741, Margarita Klopper (Clapper) and by her had an only son, An- thony A.


(IV) Anthony A., only son and child of Anthony (2) and Margarita ( Klopper) Rut- gers, received under his grandfather's will the brew-house and residence in Maiden lane, a share in the farm on North river, and also owned the Ranelegh gardens at the head of Broad- way, where Duane street now crosses it. The gardens were leased to one Jones, who gave entertainments there; a band of music played there on Mondays and Thursdays. In 1775 Anthony A. Rutgers is named as captain of the second company of artillery one of the "new companies raising." Subsequently, however, he removed to Newark, New Jersey, and died there in 1784, leaving four sons and two daughters. He married, June 6, 1762, Gert- rudye, daughter of Nicholas Gouverneur, of Newark.


(V) Nicholas Gouverneur, son of Anthony A. and Gertrudye (Gouverneur ) Rutgers, was born in Newark, New Jersey, September 20, 1771, started in business with his grandfather's house, Gouverneur & Kemble, and afterward was at the head of the firm of Rutgers, Sea- man & Ogden, whose place of business was in Pearl street, and who also acted as agent for Anthony Rutgers, 4th. Nicholas G. Rutgers for many years was president of the Mutual Insurance Company and member of the Cham- ber of Commerce. He married, March 27, 1796, Cornelia, daughter of John Livingston and granddaughter of Robert Livingston, third owner of the manor ( see Livingston). After her death he married his third cousin, Eliza Hoffman, and died in 1857, at the age of eighty-six years. He had ten children: I. Maria Ann LeRoy, born January 18, 1797. 2. Robert Alfred, August 27, 1798. 3. Clem- entina, May 24, 1800. 4. Henry Livingston. December 28, 1801. 5. Nicholas Seaman, No- vember 26, 1803. 6. Catharine Elizabeth, April 13, 1807. 7.

(VI) John Livingston, son of Nicholas Gouverneur and Cornelia (Livingston) Rut- gers, was born in New York City, July 13, 1813, and for forty years was a member of the merchantile house of L. M. Hoffman & Com- pany. He was a business man exclusively, a Republican in politics, but not active in public


affairs, and in religious preference was an Episcopalian. He married, November 30, 1843, Anna Maria Livingston, born in Hud- son, New York, October 1, 1817, daughter of Robert LeRoy Livingston, who married, July 2, 18II, Anna Maria Digges. John Livingston and Anna Maria (Livingston) Rutgers had five children: I. Cornelia, born September 17, 1844. 2. Anna Maria, February 15, 1846. 3. Mary Rutgers, April 10, 1847. 4. Nicholas Gouverneur, November 12, 1850. 5. Henry Livingston, August 27, 1852.


(VII) Nicholas Gouverneur (2), son of John Livingston and Anna Maria (Livings- ton) Rutgers, was born in New York City, November 12, 1850, and received his education at George C. Anthon's school and the Pro- fessor Elie Charlier Institute, both of New York, and Rutgers grammar school, New Brunswick, New Jersey. His business career was begun as clerk in the office of the LeRoy Shot and Lead Company, and he continued in that capacity for twenty years. In March, 1893, he was elected treasurer of the Norfolk & New Brunswick Hosiery Company and still retains that office. In April, 1902, he also was elected president of the New Brunswick Sav- ings Institution, an office he still holds. Mr. Rutgers is a Republican, but not active in poli- tics. He is a communicant at Christ Church, Episcopalian, of New Brunswick, being rec- tor's warden, and for more than twenty years has been treasurer of the church. He married, November 10, 1880, at New Brunswick, Alice Noel Neilson, born New York City, February 18, 1850, daughter of John Butler Coles Neil- son, who married Helena, daughter of Dr. John Neilson, of New York. John Butler Neilson's children were: Alice Noel, Helen and Henry Augustus Neilson. Mr. Rutgers's only child is Nicholas Gouverneur Rutgers, born October 19, 1888, graduated from Rut- gers Preparatory School, New Brunswick, and now employed in the office of a New York City stock broker. .


According to tradition, LIVINGSTON Leving or Living, the earliest known ancestor of the Livingstons in Scotland, was a noble Hungarian who came to that country in the train of Margaret, when she and her brother Edgar the Atheling took refuge at the court of Malcolm Canmore, in 1070. Margaret afterward married Malcolm and many of her followers remained in Scotland and had lands granted them by her husband. But this tra-

dition, like many others of like kind relating to ancient Scotch families, will not stand in- vestigation ; and there is no need of going so far as Hungary for the origin of the surname. In England the surname Living was not un- common and appears in a Saxon charter in the ninth century. It was the name of the arch- bishop of Canterbury who crowned Canute, and the more famous bishop of Crediton and Worcester, the friend of Earl Godwine, has come down to us in the words of the old Saxon chronicle as "Lyfing the Eloquent" ("Lyfing se wordsnotera biscop").


And besides these two great churchmen there are many others having the same name mentioned in the Saxon charters, one of them being Staller, or master of the horse to Edward the Confessor; and moreover, according to Doomsday Book, several persons of the name were landholders before the conquest; there- fore it is highly probable that the earliest known ancestor of the Livingston family in Scotland was of Saxon origin. Living was one of the Saxon landholders mentioned in Doomsday, and as to whether the Norman in- vasion drove him to take refuge in Scotland an authentic charter and one of the earliest relating to the abbey of Holyrood makes it certain that the Scottish Living held lands in the reign of Alexander I (1107-1124), where the present village of Livingston, Linlithgow- shire, now stands; "that his son Thurstan, who between 1128 and 1159 was one of the wit- nesses to a charter of Robert, Bishop of St. Andrews, confirming King David's grant to the monks of Holyrood, himself confirms, in the charter alluded to above, his father Liv- ing's gift of the church of Livingston with half a carucate of land, and a toft, in free and perpetual alms to the same abbey." The name of Living's lands was written either in the Latin form of "Villa Leving" or in the Saxon equivalent of "Levingstun," both meaning the dwelling-place or homestead of Leving. It was therefore simple enough when surnames did come into use for his descendants to adopt theirs from the name of their territorial pos- sessions.


(I) Rev. John Livingston, father of the im- migrant Robert, first "Lord of the Manor," was a Scotch clergyman of remarkable ability, a lineal descendant of the fifth Lord Living- ston, ancestor of the Earls of Linlithgow and Callendar. Rev. John was a preacher of the Reformed church in Scotland, a non-conform- ist who would yield nothing to those opposed to his views and convictions of right and


righteousness ; and for this he suffered perse- cutions and ultimate banishment and fled to Holland, and died in Rotterdam in 1672, hav- ing made at least two unsuccessful attempts to emigrate to America. In writing of him as immediate ancestor of the founder of the family in America, Mrs. Schroeder says of Rev. John Livingston that he was the son of another well known covenanting minister, Rev. William Livingston of Lanark, who acted as spokesman for his party in its welcome of the Marquis of Hamilton into Edinburgh as the king's commissioner in 1638. The Rev. Will- iam Livingston died in 1641. He again was the son of another Scotch minister, the Rev. Alexander. Livingston, of Monybroch (now Kilogth), and from some ancient family deeds now in possession of Sir Archibald Edmon- stone, of Duntreath, it is proved that he had been presented to this benefice as its first Re- formed minister by William, sixth Lord Livingston, previous to March 15, 1560-61, for on that date he executed a deed by which he feued half his glebe to another William Livingston. According to a statement by Rev. John Livingston, the father of Alexander Liv- ingston, was "a son of the Lord Livingston, which house thereafter was dignified to the earls of Linlithgow," and was slain at "Pinkie Field anno Christi 1547."


The Rev. John Livingston was ordained in Ireland by Bishop Andrew Knox, but was sus- pended by the bishop of Down for noncon- formity ; but later he was restored to his eccle- siastical office. The Scottish bishops, however, gave him no peace, but informed against him with others for inciting the people against the ritual of the church. They all were tried and suspended and afterwards were restored, and during the period of suspension he took pas- sage for New England, but gave up the at- tempt. He married, June 23, 1635, Barbara, daughter of Bartholomew Fleming, merchant of Edinburgh. The young couple went to Ireland, where the husband was immediately deposed. Soon afterward he set sail for America in the ship "Eagle Wing," but after a tempestuous voyage of several weeks the leak- ing vessel came to anchor in Loch Fergus, where the little band broke up and John Liv- ingston and his wife went to his mother's house at Irvine, Ireland. From there he went back into Scotland, from whence in 1694 he was sent by the Scotch parliament to treat with Charles I at The Hague for liberty and secu- rity of religion. Later Cromwell sent for him to settle religious matters, and still later on

the accession of Charles I he was called before the Council of Edinburgh and with seven others was banished, in 1662. He then sailed for Holland and was followed by his wife and two children, four others of their children re- maining in Scotland.


(II) Robert, first "lord of the manor," son of Rev. John Livingston, was born in 1654, and came to New York about 1675, two years after the death of his father, and when he himself was thirty years old. He settled at Albany, then a frontier post, where by reason of his knowledge of the French and Dutch languages, acquired while living in Holland, he soon received an appointment as secretary of the commandant and commissioners, who then constituted the governing power of the post. But, coming to the new country with little else than his education and remarkable quality of perseverance, he succeeded through many vicissitudes and much hardship in amass- ing a large fortune and also in acquiring a vast estate in lands amounting to one hundred and sixty thousand, two hundred and forty acres. That his success should make him many ene- mies in the new country was only natural and he was forced to contend against many petty jealousies on the part of associates, and a standing feud with other proprietors who re- garded themselves less favored than he; but so often as these differences were settled they broke forth again. But his political differ- ences need no full presentation here, although he held many important offices under the colonial government. Lord Belmont, writing to the Lords of Trade, referring to French in- trigues with the Five Nations, says "It falls out unluckily that Colonel Schuyler and Mr. Livingston, who are the men of best figure in Albany, and are the most popular with the Five Nations, and are the principal men in managing them and keeping them firm to our interests, are at this time full of discontent, and not without reason, for both of them had good estates, but by victualling the companies they are almost, if not quite, broke."


Robert Livingston built flour mills and storehouses on his property and good dwell- ings for his tenants and offered many induce- ments to settlers. He was sent to the assem- bly and was speaker of the house for seven years before his death. His most important office was that of secretary of Indian affairs, which had to do with the fur trade, and he held it for nearly fifty years. His son Philip was appointed in his place a few years before his death, in 1728. He was secretary of In-


dian affairs from 1675 to 1721, and mayor of Albany from 1710 to 1719. He married Alyda ( Alida), widow of Rev. Nicholas Van Rens- selaer and daughter of Philip Schuyler. Their children and the dates of their baptism are as follows: I. Philipina Johanna, February 3, 1684. 2. Philippus (Philip), July 25, 1686. 3. Robert, July 29, 1688. 4. Gysbert, March 5, 1690. 5. William, March 20, 1692. 6. Johanna, Dceember 20, 1694. 7. Catrine, July 17, 1698.


(III) Colonel Philip, son of Robert and Alida (Schuyler-Van Rensselaer) Livingston, was born in Albany, July 25, 1686, died Feb- ruary 4, 1749. He succeeded his father as proprietor of Livingston Manor and also as incumbent of the several offices his father had held. In 1710 he served with the rank of colonel in the expedition that captured Port Royal, and after its reduction he made a jour- ney to Quebec with a French officer as a bearer of dispatches. In October, 1725, he was ap- pointed member of the council, which office he retained so long as he lived. In 1737 he was appointed commissioner to run the bound- ary line between New York, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Colonel Livingston died in 1749, and his funeral is said to have cost five hundred pounds, which his widow de- clared "a most wasteful expenditure." Colonel Livingston was admitted to the bar in New York in 1719. He lived in Albany in his father's house at the corner of State and Pearl streets. He married, September 19, 1707, Catharina, daughter of Pieter Van Brugh, of Albany, and who was the mayor of that city in 1699, just two hundred and ten years ago. Pieter Van Brugh was a son of Johannes Van Brugge (or Verbrugge), a man of substance and who also was mayor of Albany in 1658. Catharina Van Brugh was a notable house- keeper and had been carefully trained in all the duties of maidens of her day. Her mar- riage chest, which contained all of her house- hold linen, is still in existence, and is men- tioned by Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer in her admirable work "The Goede Vroew of Ma-a-ha-ta." Colonel Livingston's children, with date of baptism of each: I. Robert, De- cember 25, 1708. 2. Pieter (Van Brugh) November 3, 1710. 3. Pieter, April 20, 1712. 4. Johannes, April II, 1714. 5. Philippus, January, 1717, died June 12, 1778. 6. Hen- drick, April 5, 1719. 7. Sara, May 17, 1721, died young. 8. William, December 8, 1723. 9. Sara, November 7, 1725, married General Lord Stirling. 10. Alida, July 18, 1728. II. Catharina, April 15, 1733.

(IV) Robert (2), son of Colonel Philip and Catharina (Van Brugh) Livingston, was born December 25, 1708, died in 1790. He was third and last lord of the manor, but had hardly come into possession of his vast estate before he began to be harrassed by the people of Massachusetts to such an extent that in 1752 he laid his case before Governor Clinton, who presented the questions involved to the governor of Massachusetts, but without satis- factory settlement of the difficulty until many years afterward. The third proprietor was possessed of more than ordinary business ca- pacity and spared neither labor nor expense in the development of his property. Mills of various kinds were built, churches were erected and settlement was promoted in every way. Iron ore was found and works for its reduction were established at Ancram, but not- withstanding his remarkable energy the third proprietor did not live to see the end of the troubles which threatened his peace and vast possessions. He married, in New York, May 20, 1731, Mary Tong (sometimes written Maria Thong).


(V) John, son of Robert (2) and Mary (Tong) Livingston, married Mary LeRoy.


(VI) Robert LeRoy, son of John and Mary (LeRoy) Livingston, married Anna Maria Digges, of Washington.


(VII) Anna Maria, daughter of Robert Leroy and Anna Maria (Digges) Livingston, married John Livingston Rutgers (see Rut- gers VI).


The family name Prickitt is PRICKITT fond at an early date in Burl- ington county, and of course has relation to the New Jersey family of the generally accepted name of Prickitt, the latter being the family purposed to be treated in this place, and supposed to have descended from John Prickitt, of Gloucestershire, England, a "persecuted Friend," in 1660, who is men- tioned in the narrative entitled Besse's "Suf- ferings." There was a Josiah Prickitt, of Burlington, who was one of the founders of Cranberry in 1697, and of whom the "History of the Colony of New Jersey" (Barber and Howe, 1844) says "Cranberry is one of the oldest places in this part of the state. It was settled about the year 1697 by Josiah Prickett, butcher, of Burlington. The following year he sold out to John Harrison of Flushing, Long Island."


«(I) Zackariah (or Zachariah) Prickitt, the earliest known ancestor of the family under


consideration here of whom we have definite knowledge settled in Northampton, Burlington county, and is said to have brought with him a large property, which he invested in lands. His will bears date February 28, 1727, and was admitted to probate March 14, of the same year. The baptismal name of his wife was Ellipha, and so far as the records dis- close their children were as follows: I. John. 2. Zackariah, married, 1721, Mary Troth. 3. Jacob, see post. 4. Elizabeth, married, 1723, John Peacock. 5. Hannah, married Philip Quigley.


(II) Jacob, son of Zackariah and Ellipha Prickitt, had a wife Hannah, who bore him eight children and who died 12 4mo. 1759, aged fifty-three years. Their children: I. Josiah, born 23 8mo. 1733, married Sarah Cowperthwaite. 2. Jacob, born 18 9mo. 1735, married Elizabeth Phillips. 3. Barzilla, born 22 9mo. 1737, married Sarah Sharp. 4. Ann, born 20 IOmo. 1739, died 4 4mo. 1759. 5. Rosannah, born II 2mo. 1742. 6. Job, see post. 7. Hannah, born 26 6mo. 1746, married Amaziah Lippincott. 8. Sabyllah, born 24 9mo. 1748.


(III) Job, son of Jacob and Hannah Prick- itt, was born the 24th of 4th mo. 1744, and married Ann, daughter of Thomas and Eliza- beth Smith. Their children: I. Rachel, born 5. I Imo. 1770, married James Allen. 2. Sab- illah, born 9 9mo. 1772, died unmarried. 3. Josiah, born 29 9mo. 1775, died young. 4. Job, born 9 7mo. 1777, married Ann Huff. 5. Josiah, see post. 6. Barzilla, born 20 2mo. 1781, married Martha Haines. 7. Ann, born 13 2mo. 1782, married Allen Joyce. 8. Zack- ariah, born 4 Imo. 1784, married Agnes Sharp. 9. Stacy, born 14 Iomo. 1785, married Jane Conover. 10. John, born 28 5mo. 1787, mar- ried Jenetta Sharp. II. Elizabeth, born 9 7mo. 1789 died unmarried.


(IV) Josiah, son of Job and Ann (Smith) Prickitt, was born near Medford, Burlington county, New Jersey, the 25th day of 2d mo. 1779, and married Hannah (sometimes writ- ten Ann) Sharp, daughter of Thomas and Esther ( Brooks) Sharp. Josiah Prickitt lived in a house built for him at the time of his mar- riage and which stood on the highway about opposite to the house in which he was born. He died in 1859. His children : 1. Amos, born I 3mo. 1805, died young. 2. Mary Ann, born 27 IImo. 1806. 3. Josiah J., born 10 6mo. 1808. 4. Nathan, born 18, 3mo. 1810. 5. Allen, born I 3mo. 1812. 6. Esther, born 24 5mo. 1814. 7.

(V) Thomas, son of Josiah and Hannah (Sharp) Prickitt, was born near Red Lion, New Jersey, the 20th day of 6th month, 1816, died in 1870. He was given a good academic education and evidently embraced every op- portunity to improve his store of knowledge, for he always was looked upon as a very well- informed man. His chief occupation was farming and in this his business life was a success. He was a thorough practical farmer, a director of the Burlington Fair Association, a Republican in politics and a strict Friend. He married Ann Engle, born 1834, died 1899, daughter of Arthur and Elizabeth Engle (see Engle), and by her had seven children: I. Nathan, lives in Atlantic City. 2. Robert, lives in Mt. Holly. 3. Elmer D., see post. 4. Frank, business man and druggist, having stores at Bryn Mawr and Rosemont, Penn- sylvania. 5. Mary, died young. 6. Elizabeth, died young. 7. William, died young.


(VI) Dr. Elmer Delaney, son of Thomas and Ann (Engle) Prickitt, was born in Lum- berton township, Burlington county, New Jer- sey, May 17, 1863, and after gaining a good education in public schools and the Friends' College, at Westtown, Pennsylvania, he taught school at Lumberton for one year. He then took a position as druggist's clerk and there laid the foundation of a thorough course at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, from which he graduated in 1884. In 1886, after graduation, he went into the drug business in company with Dr. Barrington, under the firm name of Prickitt & Barrington. This part- nership relation was maintained until 1893, when the firm was dissolved, and since that time Dr. Prickitt has carried on business alone. In the meantime, however, he had taken up the study of medicine and having grounded himself properly Dr. Prickitt matriculated at the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadel- phia, made the course of the famous institu- tion and graduated with the degree M. D. in 1898. Since that time he has practiced gen- eral medicine in Mt. Holly in connection with business pursuits as druggist and pharmacist. He is a member of the American Medical As- sociation, New Jersey State Medical Society, Burlington County Medical Society, member of the medical staff of the Burlington County


Hospital and has served three terms as physi- cian to the board of health of two townships. He is an active figure in Republican politics, but not an aspirant for political honors ; member of Mt. Holly Lodge, No. 14, F. and A. M., Mt. Holly Lodge, No. 848, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a Knight of Pythias and a Forester of America. In 1886 Dr. Prickitt married Eleanor, daughter of Nelson and Ellen (Deacon) Deacon.


The Deacon family is made the subject of inquiry in these annals, but in this place we have two distinct lines of descent from a common ancestor. George Deacon (I), im- migrant, had a son John (II), who had a son Joseph (III), who had a son John (IV), who had a son Nelson (V), whose daughter Eleanor (VI) married Elmer Delaney Prick- itt. Again: George Deacon (I), immigrant, had a son John (II), who had a son Barzilla (III), who had a son Barzilla (IV), who had a son Samuel (V), whose daughter Ellen (VI) married Nelson Deacon (V) and had a daughter Eleanor (VII) who married Dr. Prickitt.


(The Engle Line).


This surname appears prominently among the early settlers of New Jersey, and is found in Burlington county among the Friends who founded the earliest settlements in that part of the colony. The family is of English an- cestry and from the time of the immigrant has been noted for the honest endeavor and up- right character of its representatives in all sticceeding generations.


(I) Robert Engle, immigrant, with whom our present narrative begins, came from Cam- bridgeshire England, and settled in Evesham township, Burlington county. He appears to have been a man of considerable enterprise and acquired a goodly estate in lands and other property. He died in 1696, leaving a will which was executed shortly before his death and was admitted to probate during the same year. He married' 4th of 5th month, 1684, Jane Horne, who survived him and married 23d of 9th month, 1703, Henry Clifton, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Robert and Jane (Horne) Engle had an only son John.


(II) John, only son and child of Robert and Jane (Horne) Engle, died in 1721, leaving a good estate, an upright life record, and a family of honorable children. He married Mary, daughter of Samuel and Jane Ogborn, and by her had five children: I. Robert, see post. 2. John, married Hannah Middleton.
