Major Nathaniel Kings KINGSLAND land of the British army was stationed on the island of Barbadoes, West Indies, about 1660, and with him were two nephews, Isaac and Gus- tavus Kingsland, probably sons of a deceased brother, of whom he was guardian. Captain William Sandford, a resident of Barbadoes was sent by Major Kingsland to New Nether- lands to investigate the conditions of the lands lately held by the Dutch West India Company under the authority of the government of Hol- land, but which had come into the possession of the British government by force in 1664. His instructions to Captain Sandford were to purchase a desirable tract adjacent to New York City, with a view of colonization and probably as a future foothold for his nephews in the rapidly developing settlement about New York.
Captain William Sandford purchased from the Hackensack Indians a tract of land of about ten thousand acres between the Hacken- sack and Passaic rivers extending "northward about seven miles." This purchase was made July 4, 1668, in the interest of Major Nathaniel Kingsland, and June 1, 1671, Captain Sand- ford, having extinguished the Indian title, took title to the southern half of the tract and Major Kingsland to the northern half. Major Kings- land died after 1685 and in his will dated March 14, 1685, he left one-third of his three thousand and four hundred acre tract. to his nephew, Isaac Kingsland, who with his brother Gustavus was living in the parish of Christ Church on the island of Barbadoes, West Indies. The two brothers evidently took ship soon after the death of their uncle and landed in New York; they proceeded to occupy the land thus bequeathed to Isaac, which they named New Barbadoes Neck, and December 30, 1697, Isaac conveyed to Gustavus a share of the property, and Isaac selected a site on the east bank of the Passaic river on which he built a house which was the first house on the present site of the village of Kingsland Manor, near Rutherford, Bergen county, New Jersey. Isaac was a man of wealth and consequently of prominence in the community, and he was made a member of the council of the provincial government and held the position for several years. He became the progenitor of one branch of the Kingsland family who settled largely in Union county, of which Edward W. Kingsland.

(VII) Jacob Maul, only son of Jacob and Mary ( Maul) Lippincott, was born in Woods- town, Salem county, New Jersey, May 5, 1824, and died in Salem, New Jersey, October 13, 1897. He was born on his father's farm, and spent his early life there. While he was yet a boy he met with an accident which resulted in a slight though uncurable lameness, and un- fitted him for the work of the farm, which he was consequently obliged to give up and to turn his attention and efforts in other direc- tions. Finally he determined to go to Salem, which he did in 1839, walking the whole way, in spite of his lameness; and when he arrived there he apprenticed himself to a tailor and learned that trade, at which he worked for quite a while. He had never had any educa- tional advantages, but was naturally of a liter- ary turn of mind, and he read and thought much and wrote quite a good deal both in prose and verse. In 1869 he was elected county clerk of Salem county, and through successive re- elections held that office continuously up to 1884. In the community in which he lived he was held in the highest regard and esteem, and after his death his son published a volume of his poems and other prose writings, which was distributed by private circulation, and is greatly prized by his old friends and by all who are the fortunate possessors of the exquisite little volume.
