(I) John Ross, son of a piano manufacturer in Amsterdam, Holland, and probably a native of Scotland or descended of Scotch ancestors, was born in Amsterdam, Holland, about 1805, and immigrated to America when a boy in company with an uncle, landing in New York City. He found a home and employment with Dr. Campfield, of Ameystown, New Jersey, where he cared for the horses, worked in the garden and did all sorts of chores incident to the home of a country doctor. He next went to Burlington county, New Jersey, where he became an apprentice to a wheelwright by the name of Morton, and on being discharged from his apprenticeship he engaged in the wheelwright business at Newbald's Corner, New Jersey, for several years. He next located in Vincentown, Burlington county, New Jersey, where he established a wheelwright's shop and he continued in that place and busi- ness up to near the time of his death at the probable age of eighty-three years, in 1888. He had thus spent a long, active, as well as useful life in that town and helped in its growth and development. He was a director in the Vincentown National Bank for a number of years. He married, 1845, Maria, daughter of William and Mary (Woolston) Bishop, and they had three children born in Vincentown. as follows: I. Samuel Oregon, born 1846; died 1908. He was brought up and educated in his native place, and on leaving school obtained a . place in the Vincentown Bank, of which his

father was a director, and he remained in the employ of the bank, passing through the grades of messenger, clerk, teller and cashier, and after forty years of continuous service he died while holding the position of cashier. Samuel O. Ross married Beulah W., daughter of
Budd, of Buddtown, New Jersey, and they had one child, William Bishop, born Novem- ber, 1870, who succeeded his father as cashier of the Vincentown National Bank. William Bishop Ross married Mary Lippincott, daugh- ter of Richard Nesbit. 2. Mary, born 1848; married Rev. Harry Tratt, and they resided in Riverside, California, where a daughter, Ida Tratt, was born. 3. Thomas Woolston (q. v.). John Ross, the father of these chil- dren died in Vincentown, New Jersey, 1888.
(II) Thomas Woolston, second son and youngest of the three children of John and Maria (Woolston) Ross, was born in Vin- centown, Burlington county, New Jersey, July I, 1851. He attended the public school and academy at Vincentown and learned the trade of wheelwright in his father's shop, beginning his apprenticeship when he was fifteen years old, in 1866, and he continued as an apprentice and journeyman up to 1882, when he engaged in the same line.of business on his own account with excellent results. He continued the per- sonal supervision of the business there estab- lished up to 1898, when he retired to assume the duties of postmaster of Vincentown, having been appointed to that office by President Mc- Kinley, with every assurance in 1909 that the position was a life tenure if he did not volun- tarily resign. He was always active in town affairs and in the councils of the Republican party. He served in the board of registration for five years and holds the position of director of the water board of Vincentown. He is a member of the Baptist church and served as clerk and treasurer of the society. His fraternal affiliation was with the Order of American Mechanics, in which organization he was in high esteem. He married, February, 1872, Cornelia H., daughter of Charles and Martha (Loveland) Haines, of Vincentown, and they had two children, as follows: 1. Frank B., born in Vincentown, December 22, 1873; a pupil in the public schools; a graduate at the College of Pharmacy, Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, in 1893, and he practiced his profession in the drug store of Frank S. Hilliard in Vin- centown for four years, when he resigned to take a similar position in a more extensive drug store in Camden, New Jersey. Here he was in charge of the prescription and com- ii-3
pounding department and subsequently in one at Chester, Pennsylvania. In 1896 he estab- lished the drug business on his own account at Fifty-fourth and Pearl streets, Philadelphia, and made it known as the "Pearl Pharmacy," under which trade mark he built up a large business. He established a second drug store at Fifty-second and Haverford streets, in 1900, to which he thereafter gave his personal ser- vices. Frank B. Ross married Grace, daugh- ter of Frank S. Hilliard, of Vincentown, who died leaving a son, Donald Ross. 2. Charles H., born in Vincentown, October, 1886, attend- ed the public schools at Vincentown, and Pierce's Business College, Philadelphia, where he was graduated in 1906. From the business college he went to the wholesale store of L. D. Burger, of Philadelphia, where he was made head bookkeeper and placed in charge of the finances of the establishment.
BUDD In writing of the origin and signifi- cation of the surname Budd, one investigator of the early history of this family, himself a Budd, says "that statisti- cal facts and definitions of English from trans- lations prove that the name has origin from 'bud,' to increase into beauty and fragrance, and grow into good fruit, and fruitfulness, and as 'buds' must have existed in the garden of Eden, to bring forth fruit. and the fruit thus grown, and eaten by Adam and Eve, gives the combinations of the name a force which has ever influenced the race of Adam from the beginning. It is therefore very natural that we find the name of prominence among the Asiatic races, the Mongolians and the Hindoos as well as among the most enlightened nations of the world. In the early days of the Franks and the Gallic races and the formation of Nor- mandy and the French empire, Jean Budd, a baron of influence, took an active part, his de- scendants held positions of political and relig- ious influence and were possessors of wealth, and in some one of the political and religious strifes for which the Norman and French people are noted in history, three of the Budd brothers took up the cause of the then weak side in the defence of freedom and religious liberty. Their relations with their forces in power crushed this effort and persecutions com- menced. They, to save their heads being taken off by the battle-axe of the executioner, escaped to Normandy and with William the Conqueror landed successfully with their families in Eng- land. In Normandy and England they breathed freer and after a time recovered losses, taking

a part in the relations of the government and progressive pursuits. Their children married and intermarried and according to information from different sources, one Thomas Budd or John Budd married the sister of a subsequent occupant of the throne and became a prominent member of the Church of England. They had a number of children who as they grew up were fond of adventure, activity and change. John Budd, the elder, and Joseph Budd came to this country about the year 1632."
(I) Rev. Thomas Budd, father of the immi- grant brothers, figures as the immediate an- cestor of the Burlington, New Jersey, Budds. He was rector of Martosh parish in Somerset- shire and renounced his living there to become a member of the Society of Friends and a minister among them. In 1661 he was required to take an oath of obedience under the statutes prescribed by James I., "for the better discover- ing of papist recreants," but while he was will- ing to "affirm" he refused to be sworn, and for this offense against the dignity of the crown he was indicted, adjudged guilty, and languished out his few remaining years of life in prison ; he died there June 22, 1670, still firm in the faith unto which he had declared himself. His sons were Thomas, William, John and James. (II) Thomas (2), eldest of the sons of Rev. Thomas ( I) Budd, was born in England and first came to this country in 1668. Subse-^ quently he returned to England and in 1678 brought over his family. In later years he became one of the principal characters in the early history of the colony of New Jersey. When the first form of government was estab- lished he was one of those selected to assist the governor in framing a code of laws for the maintenance of order. He entered into mercantile business in Burlington, lived there until 1690, then removed to Philadelphia and was a merchant in that city until his death in 1697. His will bears date September 9, 1697, and bequeaths to his sons John and Thomas and his daughters Mary and Rose, leaving his eldest son John and his widow Susannah executor and executrix of his estate.
(II) William, son of Rev. Thomas (I) Budd, was born in England and came to New Jersey in 1678, with his eldest brother Thomas, and his other brothers John and James, and their families. He located and became pos- sessed of large tracts of land in West Jersey, largely in Burlington county, where he always lived. He and his brother Thomas were the original locators and proprietors of all the
land included in the township of Pemberton and east and west thereof for two or three miles, and from them most of the titles were devised. Their lands extended from the ridge of hills known as Juliustown and Arney's Mount, several miles wide in a southerly direc- tion to the north branch of Rancocas creek. Although one of the original proprietors of a considerable tract of land in West Jersey, William Budd appears less conspicuously in the early history of the region than his brother Thomas by reason of the fact that he took small part in the political affairs of the colony, preferring the more quiet and to him for more congenial pursuit of farming. Besides this he differed with his brothers in religious views, and if he ever in part accepted the faith of his father and other members of the family he must have renounced it in favor of that of the Protestant Episcopal church. While the name of his brothers Thomas, John and James ap- pear frequently in the records of the Friends' meetings in Burlington, his name appears there only once, and that a mention of his voluntary subscription to the fund for building a new meeting house at Burlington in 1682. In the records of St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church at Burlington is found mention of the baptism of the children of William Budd. In his will he left a benefaction to the church, in which he appears to have been a communicant only for a short time. His will bears date March I, 1707-08, and is recorded in Trenton. The baptismal name of his wife was Ann, but her family name is unknown. She died in 1722, having borne her husband seven chil- dren: I. William, 1680; see post. 2. John, married Hannah Wilson. 3. Thomas, married Deborah Langstaff. 4. Susanna, married Samuel Woolston. 5. Ann, married James Bingham. 6. James, married Sarah Tyndall. 7. Sarah.
(III) William (2), eldest son and child of William (I) and Ann Budd, was born in Northampton township, Burlington county, New Jersey, in 1680, died after November II, 1725, the date of his will. He was born, lived and died on the original farm on which his father settled, having inherited the same; and he inherited also in a marked degree the char- acteristics of his father, and led a quiet domestic life at the old home on Arney's mount. He was perhaps the most prolific of any of the Budds of Burlington county, having nine chil- dren, and it is said that more than one half of all the persons buried in the old Methodist

graveyard at Pemberton are his descendants. On December 2, 1703, William Budd married Eliza, daughter of Richard Stockton, of Springfield, New Jersey. Their nine children were Thomas, see post ; William, David, Sus- annah, Rebecca, Abigail, Elizabeth, Ann and Mary.
(IV) Thomas (3), son of William (2) and Eliza (Stockton) Budd, was born on the old homestead at Arney's Mount in 1708, died December 15, 1775. He too became well pos- sessed of lands and owned a heavily timbered tract of land, whereon he built a saw mill and engaged in extensive lumber operations. He not only conceived the idea of erecting the mill and developing the resources of the region, but as well he caused to be built a number of dwelling houses for his employees and thus founded Buddtown, named in allusion to the enterprising founder of the village settlement. The little settlement soon became a prosperous center of trade, with its saw, grist and turning mills, wheelwright, blacksmith and cabinet- makers' shops, two taverns, three stores and all the other essential elements of a small munic- ipality. Thomas Budd was one of the most enterprising men of the township in his time and was known for his many sterling qualities and upright character. He made his will July 20, 1775, and died in December following, aged sixty-seven years. His wife, Jemima (Leeds) Budd, who died July 17, 1768, was daughter of Philo Leeds, and by her he had nine children : I. Philo, born December 14, 1736; died young. 2. Anthony, September 27, 1739; died young. 3. Thomas, December 5, 1741, died young. 4. Thomas, August 3, 1744 ; died 1766. 5. Isaiah, March 13, 1747. 6. Lavinia, April 2, 1749; died 1838. 7. Ann, July 20, 1751. 8. Isaac, May 19, 1754; see post. 9. Joseph, October, 1756.
(V) Isaac, son of Thomas (3) and Jemima (Leeds) Budd, was born in Easthampton town- ship, Burlington county, May 19, 1754, died in 1823. He was a farmer by principal occupa- tion, and like his father was an enterprising and successful business man. He married (first) Ruth Woolston, and after her death he married Ann King. He had three children by his first and seven by his second wife: I. Lydia. 2. Thomas. 3. Jcmima, married Rcv. Solomon Sharp. 4. Isaac, see post. 5. Sam- uel K. 6. John F. 7. Theodosia. 8. Ruth. 9. Sarah Ann. 10. Stacy W.
(VI) Isaac (2), son of Isaac (I) and Ann (King) Budd, was born in Pemberton, New
Jersey, June 6, 1788, died in 1845. His father gave him a good farm and his business life was devoted to agricultural pursuits. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and in politics a Democrat. Mr. Budd mar- ried (first) Mary Ann Hayes, by whom he had six children. He married (second) Ann Briggs, born 1791, died November 1, 1859, daughter of George Briggs, and by whom he had three children. His children: I. William H., married Eliza Haines ; one child, Michael. 2. Rebecca Ann, born May 18, 1815; died June 30, 1820. 3. Ellen M., died September 26, 1852, aged thirty-seven years. 4. Margaret, born February 7, 1818; married William S. Fort. 5. Michacl, born December 5, 1819; died in Ottawa, Illinois, June 6, 1871. 6. Mary Ann, died aged twenty-two years. Children by second wife: 7. Alfred, born 1829; killed by an accident in Pemberton, December 24, 1889. 8. Isaac Henry, born March 21, 1831 ; died in Portsmouth, Iowa, December, 1892. 9. Theodore, see post.
(VII) Theodore, youngest son and child of Isaac (2) Budd, was born in Southampton township, November 7, 1833. He received his earlier literary education in public schools, then attended the Pennington Seminary, but was compelled by ill health to leave before the completion of his course. He then turned to farming pursuits, in which direction he has been abundantly successful, having been a large grower of cranberries for forty-five years, during which time he has probably cleared and made productive more swamp land than any other man in the state of New Jersey. He was one of the pioneer cranberry growers of the state. He conducted the business of cranberry culture with his usual energy, and when success was achieved hc divided his realty with his two sons, thus securing their interest and co-opera- tion in the management of a large estate. Mr. Budd is also interested in public affairs and has been chosen to serve in various official capacitics, such as freeholder, member of the township committee and member of the house of assembly, having held the latter office during four ycars. Hc was one of the incorporators and first president of the Pemberton National Bank, serving in the capacity of president at the present time. He is also vicc-president of the Mt. Holly Safe Deposit & Trust Company. In 1856 Theodorc Budd married Achsah, daughter of Thomas and Beulah Edmands, of Buddtown. Children: I. Isaac Watson, see post. 2. Clifford E., scc post.

(VIII) Isaac Watson, eldest son of Theo- dore Budd, was born in Southampton township, Burlington county, New Jersey, January 8, 1858. He received his education in the schools of Pemberton and the South Jersey Institute at Bridgeton. In 1878 he went to Illinois, locating at Crescent City, Iroquois county, where he engaged in mercantile business until January, 1902, when he returned to Pemberton, New Jersey, and engaged in cranberry grow- ing. which line of work he has since followed. He is a director of the Pemberton National Bank. He married (first) June 22, 1880, Ida E. Barber, of Crescent City, Illionis ; she died June 6, 1889. Married (second) January 12, 1892, Alma Grace Cast, of Crescent City, Illi- nois. Children of first wife: I. Homer T., born February 19, 1882; died in Pemberton, July 10, 1891. 2.

When eight years of age his parents re- moved to Pemberton where he was reared. He attended the schools of Pemberton and Hights- town, New Jersey. He resided with his father until his marriage, after which he settled on the farm where he was born and engaged in agricultural pursuits, making cranberry grow- ing a specialty, in which line he has been highly successful. He resided on the farm until 1894, when he removed to Pemberton and now occu- pies one of the finest houses there. He was for a number of years a director of the Farmers' National Bank of Mt. Holly, and since the organization of the Pemberton Na- tional Bank has served as vice-president and director. He is a member of Central Lodge, No. 44, A. F. and A. M., of Vincentown.

The antiquary finds in the Isle KAIGHN of Man, in the Irish Sea, and only sixteen miles from the mainland of Scotland much of interest that dates back to times when names, deeds, and even legends are unrecorded or mean but little to the present generation. On this little island but little more than twelve miles in breadth and thirty-three miles in length are well pre- served today; Castle Rushen, probably the most perfect building of its date extant, found- ed by Gothard, son of King Orry in 947, and near are the ruins of Rushen Abbey, pictur- esquely situated and dating from 1154. Besides these are numerous so-called Druidical remains and Runic monuments scattered through the island. To the painter the coast scenery from Manghold head on the east, passing south to Peel on the west, bold and picturesque views present their temptations to the artist to stop and study and imitate. Especially will he be enchanted as he reaches the neighborhood of the Golf, where Spanish head, the south ex- tremity of the island presents a sea front of extreme grandeur. Here is a county unique in history as well as in its grandeur of scenery and well preserved ruins. Here the Welsh kings ruled from the sixth century until the end of the ninth century, when Harold Haar- feger, the Norwegian adventurer, invaded and dethroned the Welsh Kingdom. Tradition tells of Orry the Dane effecting a landing in the beginning of the tenth century, and being adopted by the inhabitants as their king. He is reputed to have been the founder of that excellent and long sustained Manx Constitu- tion still in force on the island. Next come a line of Scandinavian kings only broken by Magnus of Norway when he ceded his right in the island and in the Hebrides to Alexander III. of Scotland in 1266. At the close of Alex- ander's life the Manx placed themselves under the protection of Edward I. of England, and since that time they have had a constitution and government of their own and a degree of independence of imperial rule. The island has its own Manx church, its own canons and an independent convocation. It has produced learned men and industrious and worthy immi- grants who have carried with them sound ideas of religious and political freedom. The name Cain, Caine and Kaighn are truly Manx names, and besides Hall Caine have others of the name entitled to recognition.
(I) John Kaighn, also written Kaighin and Kaighan, came to America from the Isle of Man, England, before 1688. He apparently
437

came as a bound apprentice to a carpenter of John Kaighn executed a deed June 18, 1685, the name of Thomas Warne, and landed in . to John Vance near Salem, West Jersey, miller, New York and completed his term of indenture for three hundred acres near Salem, also a grist mill on Great Mill Creek. In this deed he is described as "John Kaighn of Byfield, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, late husband of Ann, formerly widow of Walter Fforrest of the same place, miller ; and guardian trustee of his daughter by said Ann : Ann Kaighin." This property was deeded by John Vance of Brothers Forest, Salem county, March 26, 1701, to Thomas Killingsworth, of Salem Town, gentleman, being the property bought of John Kaighin, &c. &c. In 1696 John Kaighn married as his second wife Sarah, widow of Andrew Griscom, and sister of John Dale, who lived in Newton township. Andrew Griscom died possessed of a tract of land adjoining that lately purchased by John Kaighn which was also a part of the Norris survey, and in 1723 this property stood in the name of John Kaighn. He built a house on his purchase in Newton township, West Jersey, and it still stands in Camden. By this second marriage John Kaighn became the father of two sons: 1. John (2), born December 30, 1700. 2. Joseph, born De- cember 4, 1702. The mother of these two chil- dren died soon after the birth of Joseph, and in 1710 he married Elizabeth Hill, of Burling- ton, Burlington county, New Jersey, who had no issue. Through a letter addressed "To John Kaighn, Linener, in West New Jersey, nigh on Delaware river side opposite to Phila- delphia City America" his mother, Jane Kaighn, then living at Kirk, Isle of Man, under date August 26, 1702, informed him of the death of his father and gave other family news. On the same sheet John Kaighn wrote prob- ably the unfinished copy of the letter he sent in reply to which he stated that he had: "lost two good and loveing wives in a few years' time and had been left alone with two young babes the youngest still at nurse." He was made by legislative action one of the county judges of Gloucester county in 1699, and he served on the bench for three years. On March 7, 1708, the Newton Meeting made him a member of the board of trustees of the meet- ing, and in 1710 he was sent to Trenton as a representative in the state legislature. On March 3, 1723-24, John Kaighn, of Newton township, Gloucester county, New Jersey, made his will in which he names his wife Elizabeth and sons John and Joseph, leaving his house and lot in Philadelphia to his widow and his real estate in Newton township to his two sons. His will was found June 12, 1724, and in Perth Amboy, Monmouth county, East New Jersey. The Archives of New Jersey give him as living at the Spottswood's Middle Brook, November 4, 1687, and on July 2, 1688, as patentee of one hundred and forty-five acres of land at Spottswood, South Brook, then un- appropriated land to be taken out of Thomas Warne's property in Monmouth county, de- scribing the patentee as "John Kaighen late apprentice to Thomas Warne of Monmouth county, East Jersey," and again on July 7, 1688, "John Kaighin late of Monmouth county, New Jersey, made deed to Robert Ray of same county 145 acres at Spottswood South Brook." The next record is made in Gloucester county, West Jersey, made September 20-21, 1686, when Samuel Norris conveyed to Robert Farmer a tract comprising two-sevenths of a propriety granted by the trustees of Edward Byllinge, situated in Gloucester county, and surveyed by Samuel Norris in May, 1685, lying and being on the east bank of the Dela- ware river and secured by John Kaighn through various purchases made by him from divers owners or lessees between 1695 and 1725 until Kaighn owned and possessed a large area comprising several hundred acres one purchase made and deed secured December 14, 1696, of four hundred and fifty-nine acres and thereafter known as Kaighns Point and now the site of the city of Camden. We find John Kaighn in Byfield, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, working at his trade of carpenter when these purchases and sales were made, and he prob- ably lived in Bybury, 1688-96. A grist mill was established on the Newton township tract and he took possession and built a house thereon. He was married, 1693, to Ann, daughter of William Albertson, of Newton township, Gloucester county, West New Jersey, and widow of Walter Forrest, of Bybury, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, a miller by trade and occupation. John and Ann ( Albertson) (Forrest) Kaighn had one child Ann, born in Bybury, June 24, 1694. The mother died July 6, 1694, and the daughter died unmarried in 1715, according to a will executed October 22, 1715, of "Ann (Cain) Kaighn, daughter of John of Gloucester county, bequeathing lands, lots, house, &c. to her father, John Kaighn, and after his death to brothers John and Joseph Kaighn." John Kaighn, the father, was exec- utor of the will which was proved November 27, 1720.
