(I) Jacob H. Bennett, born in New York City or Brooklyn, in 1830, was the first of his line to come to New Jersey, which he did apparently shortly before or shortly after his marriage. He was a glass worker in the later years of his life, and died in Millville, New Jersey, in July, 1905. His children were: I. Jacob Edward, M. D., died at Rock Island, Rhode Island. 2. Samuel Dey, referred to below. 3. Amanda, married George Cline, and has one child, George, Jr. 4. Sarah, mar- ried Frank Atkinson, and had Harry, Samuel, Agnes, Cora and Sarah.
(II) Samuel Dey, son of Jacob H. Bennett, was born at Berlin, or Bridgeton, New Jersey, June 2, 1853. Like his father he was a glass worker. He married Mary Jane, daughter of Cornelius and Ellen (Johnson) Mckenzie, the father coming from Scotland, and the mother from England. She was born in Winslow, New Jersey, in July, 1853. Among their chil- dren was Samuel Dey, referred to below, and Oscar W., a dentist in Millville, born there De- cember 9, 1876.
(III) Samuel Dey (2), son of Samuel Dey (I) and Mary Jane (Mckenzie) Bennett, was born at Millville, New Jersey, January 9, 1872, and is now living in that city. For his early education he went to the public schools at Mill- ville, after leaving which he entered the Col- lege of Pharmacy in Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, in the fall of 1890, and graduated from that institution with high honors in 1892, re- ceiving the degree of Ph. G. In 1894 he enter- ed the Jefferson Medical College in Philadel- phia, graduating with the degree of M. D. in 1896. The two intervening years, 1892-93 he spent as a drug clerk. After graduating and receiving his doctor's degree, he entered at once upon the general practice of his profession at Millville, where he has remained ever since, winning for himself an enviable reputation and clientele among the people with whom his lot is cast. Dr. Bennett has turned his atten- tion to the subject of tuberculosis, and he has done most excellent work in the campaign against that wide spread disease. He is a member of the National Tuberculosis Associa- tion and also of the International Tuberculosis Association, and he is as well the chairman of

the Millville Tuberculosis Society. In politics he is a Republican, and in religion a member of the Presbyterian church. He is an active and prominent member of many secret societies and organizations. Among them should be mentioned Shekinah Lodge, No. 58, Free and Accepted Masons, of Millville ; Richmond Chap- ter, No. 22, Royal Arch Masons, and Olivet Commandery, No. 10, Knights Templar, of which in March, 1909, he was elected captait: general. He is also a member of the Millville Social and Athletic Club.
September 28, 1898, Samuel Dey Bennett, M. D., married Rena Dunham, born February 29, 1872, at Millville, New Jersey, daughter of Mulford and Mary ( Dunham) Ludlam, of Mill- ville. They have one child, Charlotte Dunham Bennett, born August 3, 1899. The Ludlams and the Dunhams belong to two of the oldest and most prominent families of New Jersey.
The ancestry of Henry Phineas JONES . Jones, a prominent business man of Newark, New Jersey, is evi- dently of English or Scotch origin and con- tains on the maternal side the names of Wood- ward, Bancroft, Metcalf, Stone, Whipple, Trowbridge, Atherton, Treadway, Howe, Cook, Flagg, Hammond, Phillips, Lamb, Bennett, Towne, Richardson, Wilson, Brown, Humph- reys, Rice and Viles.
(I) Josiah Jones, earliest ancestor of whom there is mention, was born in 1643, died Octo- ber 3, 1714. He married, October 2, 1667, Lydia Treadway, born 1648, died September 17, 1743, daughter of Nathaniel and Suffer- anna (How) Treadway. Among their chil- dren was Captain Nathaniel, see forward.
(II) Captain Nathaniel, son of Josiah and Lydia (Treadway) Jones, was born December 31, 1674, died November, 1745. He married Mary Cook, born December 2, 1681, baptized April 15, 1688, daughter of Stephen and Re- becca (Flagg) Cook, the former of whom was born 1647, died 1738, and the latter born Sep- tember 5, 1661, died June 20, 1721. Among the children of Captain and Mrs. Jones was Deacon Nathaniel, see forward.
(III) Deacon Nathaniel (2), son of Cap- tain Nathaniel (I) and Mary (Cook) Jones, was born April 5, 1707, died September 7, 1795, at Charleston. He married Eleanor Woodward, born June 20, 1720, died April 9, 1807, daughter of Deacon Ebenezer and Mindwell (Stone) Woodward, who were mar- ried January 26, 1716; Ebenezer Woodward was born March 12, 1691, and his wife was
born June 26, 1696, died 1774. Among the children of Deacon and Mrs. Jones was Phin- eas, see forward.
(IV) Phineas, son of Deacon Nathaniel (2) and Eleanor (Woodward) Jones, was born February 17, 1762, died April 27, 1850. He was a soldier in the revolution. He removed to Spencer, Massachusetts, from Charlton, set- tling about 1786 on the original John Graton farm near what is now known as the Stiles reservoir. The farm was lot number twenty- five as shown on the proprietor's map of Spen- cer and joined the Leicester line. His farm has been known in recent years as the Ebene- zer Proctor place. He was not only a well-to- do farmer, but also conducted a hotel. His house was on the old South County road from Worcester to Southbridge and Connecticut by way of Leicester center, and before the advent of the railroad, the stage coach and the two, four and six-horse teams laden with freight, daily coming and going, made life along the route anything but monotonous, and in wide contrast with the quiet and stillness of the present day. It is interesting to note that when this road was first located, according to the original record at the registry of deeds in Wor- cester, not a point of compass was given, not a record of distance, simply directions from tree to tree the whole route. He married (first) Lucy Baldwin, who bore him five children. He married (second) Hannah Phillips, born July 1, 1773, died February 14, 1841, daughter of Deacon Jonathan and Rachel ( Humphreys) Phillips, the former of whom was born August 12, 1732, died June 25, 1798, at Sturbridge, Massachusetts, homestead in family one hun- dred and twenty-five years, and the latter a daughter of Deacon Humphreys, of Oxford, Massachusetts. Nine children were born of the second marriage.
(V) Phineas (2), son of Phineas (I.), and Hannah ( Phillips) Jones, was born April 18, 1819, in Spencer, Massachusetts, died April 19, 1884. At a suitable age he was sent to the academy at Leicester to supplement such teach- ing as the times then afforded in Spencer. After graduating with great credit, he return- ed home to take charge of his father's farm, who was now advanced in years, and this filial duty he continued to render until his father's death, April 27, 1850. Thrown upon his own resources, he took up school teaching in his native town, an occupation for which he was well qualified, and in connection with which he employed his leisure hours in surveying. Find- ing, however, these occupations insufficient for

his active and aspiring nature, he determined to fit himself for a business life, and to that end established a large country store in the town of Spencer, in a building just then erect- ed, known as Union Block. His store became not only a political center for the discussion of state and national politics, but a place to talk over town affairs, and he was not the least among the many debaters of that day who here found a free forum. His services were in ready demand at auctions, and his ability in that line has never been equalled in Spencer. Desiring a wider field for development, Mr. Jones sold his store in Spencer, in 1855, and removed to Elizabethport, New Jersey, where he engaged extensively in the manufacture of carriage wheels. Finding a more desirable location, he removed to Newark, New Jersey, in 1860, and in partnership with William H. Baldwin, established a factory on a much larger scale, and year after year continued to increase his manufacturing facilities and to extend his business until his death. His partner, Mr. Baldwin, died in 1901, aged one hundred and one years. While engaged in this business, Mr. Jones exhibited a great deal of mechanical ingenuity, and several of his inventions, which were patented, proved to be very valuable. For several years after his removal to Newark he gave strict attention to his factory, in which he had one hundred men employed, with a constantly increasing demand for his produc- tions. In politics Mr. Jones was a Republican, and in maintaining the principles of that party was bold and energetic. As a ready and forci- ble speaker, he always commanded attention, and as an intelligent, efficient man of business, acquired confidence and respect. Within three years after his settlement in Elizabeth he was elected a member of the common council, and served for two years in that body. He was a member of the board of trade of Newark, established in 1868, also a director, and the part he took therein was a'ctive and prominent. He was a director of the Peoples' Insurance Company, established in 1866, and in 1874 ap- pears more prominently as a member of the general assembly, in which body he served so satisfactorily to his constituents that in the year following he was re-elected to the same position. In 1881 Mr. Jones was elected a member of the forty-seventh congress, and served to the end of his term, although during the last months of the second session he suffer- ed so much from sickness contracted at Wash- ington that he declined the renomination which was tendered to him. He was a member of the
New Jersey Agricultural Society, member of its board of directors, and devoted much of his time and attention to its interests. It is not thought Mr. Jones made any set speech while in congress, but he spoke at length in the forty-seventh congress on the river and harbor appropriation bill, vol. 14, part 4, pages 3441-42-46, also on screws, vol. 13, page 2514, and probably along other lines in the forty- sixth and forty-seventh sessions of congress which may be found by consulting the records. His sudden death, in the midst of a most honor- able and useful career, was deeply lamented by the community of which, for nearly a quarter of a century, he had been an esteemed and valuable member.
Mr. Jones married three times. His first wife was Emmeline Baxter Lamb, born Feb- ruary 12, 1824, died February 5, 1847, daugh- ter of Austin and Nancy (Wilson) Lamb, the former of whom was born March 31, 1790, died December 2, 1870, and the latter born June 21, 1792, died September 13, 1828.
(VI) Henry Phineas, son of Phineas (2) and Emmeline Baxter (Lamb) Jones, was born at Spencer, Massachusetts, at his grand- father's house near Stiles reservoir, November 29, 1846. At the age of nine he became a resi- dent of Elizabethport, New Jersey, whither his father had removed in 1855. He attended the old red schoolhouse which once stood on the highest swell of land between the Aaron Watson place and Moose Hill farm house, Spencer, the public schools of Elizabethport, and later the Newark Academy, his father having removed to that city in 1858. In 1868 he engaged in the shoe business under the firm name of Canfield, Jones & Company, and this connection continued for four years. He then made an extended tour of Europe, extending over a period of almost a year. Upon his re- turn to his native land, in 1875, he was ad- mitted to partnership in the firm of Phineas Jones & Company, manufacturers of carriage wheels, and since that time has devoted him- self to the development of that industry. In 1880 the works were destroyed by fire, and immediately rebuilt. They now give employ- ment to more than one hundred persons, thus making it one of the largest establishments of the kind in the state. Mr. Jones is a man of unusual business ability, which fact accounts for the success which has attended his efforts in the business world. He is a member of Christ Reformed Church, member of the Na- tional Carriage Makers' Association, Lincoln Post, No. II: Essex Club. Union Club and

New Jersey Historical Society. He is a Re- publican in politics, but has never held public office. At fifteen years of age, under name of Henry Cook, Mr. Jones enlisted July 30, 1862, as drummer boy in the One Hundred and Thir- teenth New York Infantry, which was after- wards the Seventh New York Heavy Artillery, Irish Brigade, First Division. He participated in all the engagements of the Army of the Potomac from his enlistment until August I, 1865. His regiment met with frightful loss of life, as out of two thousand six hundred and sixty-seven men only nine hundred and forty- one returned, a very small percentage.
Mr. Jones married, June 24, 1875, at New- ark, New Jersey, Ada Emily Anderson, born December 16, 1850, daughter of David and Julia (Jacobus) Anderson, who were the par- ents of seven other children, namely: William, James, Frank, Walter, Elizabeth, Harriet and Julia. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Jones: I. Elizabeth Anderson, born April 10, 1876 ; mar- ried Henry Hall Skinner ; children : Eliza- beth and Ada Skinner. 2. Phineas, born Jan- uary 3, 1879. 3. Henry Percy, born Novem- ber 19, 1880. 4. Elsie, born October 16, 1883 ; married Richard Krementz, a sketch of whom appears in this work; one child, Elsie Louise Krementz. 5. Spencer, named for the town in which his father was born, born December 13, 1891.

He settled first at Watertown, near Boston, and was made freeman, September 3, 1634. He and twenty-five others purchased Rappawams (Stamford) of the New Haven Colony for £33 and started a settlement there. In 1643, through the general court of New Haven, a court was established there the same as at New Haven, and Robert Coe was appointed assistant judge. In 1644 Robert Coe, the Rev.
