He studied theology and became a regularly ordained minister of the Presbyterian church. When the civil war broke out he enlisted in the Rockbridge Ar- tillery, and from the second battle of Manassas until the surrender at Appomattox followed
the fortunes of the Confederate army, par- ticipating in all the hard campaigns of the Army of Virginia under General Robert E. Lee. His latter years were spent in the home of his son, Dr. Darnall, at Atlantic City. Rev. Darnall married Margaret Poague, daughter of Samuel Johnston, of Rockbridge county, Virginia ; she was born April 7, 1842, and died in North Carolina, May, 1902. Children: I.

(IX) Dr. William Edgar, second son and child of Rev. Henry Thomas and Margaret Poague (Johnston ) Darnall, was born at Pear- isburg, Giles county, Virginia, April 9, 1869. His academic education was obtained in the schools of Durham, North Carolina, which was his home until 1888. In that year he matricu- lated at the Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia, and was graduated in the class of 1892 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. During the two years prior to his grad- uation he served as private secretary to Gen- eral Robert E. Lee, then president of the Uni- versity. He then entered the medical depart- ment of the University of Virginia and was graduated in 1895 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He began the practice of his profession in his native state at Covington, but at the end of one year removed to New Jersey, locating at Atlantic City. Dr. Darnall has an exceedingly lucrative practice and specializes in surgery and gynæcology. In these branches of practice he is regarded as an authority, par- ticularly expert as well as successful. He has served by appointment on the staff of the At- lantic City Hospital for several years, St. Michael's Baby Hospital, and the Mercer Home for Invalid Women. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Medicine, ex-presi- dent of the Atlantic City Academy of Medi- cine, member of the American Medical Asso- ciation, the American Climatological Associa- tion, New York Academy of Medicine, Phila- delphia Medical Club, Philadelphia Obstetrical Society, New Jersey Medical Association, and

Atlantic County Medical Society, of which he is ex-president. He is ex-president of the Fortnightly Club of Atlantic City, which he organized; member of the Pi Mu medical fra- ternity, and ex-section chief of the Phi Gamma Delta, Greek letter fraternity. His clubs are the Southern Club of Philadelphia, and the Country Club of Atlantic City. He has gained membership in the Sons of the Revolution through the military service during the revo- lutionary war of his maternal ancestor, Lieu- tenant John McCorkle, who served in Captain James Gilmore's company, under command of General Morgan. The only official connection Dr. Darnall has outside of his professional as- sociations is with the Atlantic City Public Li- brary, of which he is a trustee.
He married, February 27, 1907, Elizabeth Nesbitt, a descendant of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton.
SCULL The Scull family of New Jersey are among the earliest of the Eng- lish settlers in that colony and are descended from Sir John Scull, of Brecknock. Two of his descendants emigrated to this coun- try and are found on Long Island as early as September 10, 1685, from whence one of them, John, emigrated again to New Jersey, while his brother Nicholas remained behind. In 1706 their cousin, Edward Scull, also came over to this country, and settling to the west of the Alleghanics became the founder of a family of many descendants who are now liv- ing in western Pennsylvania and Ohio.
(I) John Scull, founder of the New Jersey branch of the family came over to America from Bristol, England, in 1685, on board the ship "Bristol Merchant," John Stephens, mas- ter. He was baptized in England, October 15, 1666, and in 1694 came to New Jersey from Long Island with his wife Mary, and a number of other persons, who took up large tracts of land on the coast. He is said to have been a whaleman, but his name does not occur in either of the two whale fishing charters of that day which cover the right for whale-fishing from Staten Island down to Cape May Point. He acquired a large tract of land on the Great Egg Harbor river, and in 1695 bought of Thomas Budd, "250 acres of land, lying on Great Egg Harbor river and Patconk creek, with the privilege of cutting cedar and com- monidge for cattle on ye reaches and swamps as laid out by Thomas Budd for commons." The first religious meetings of the Society of Friends in his section of West Jersey were
held at his home. In 1722 John Fothergill, an eminent minister among Friends writes that he had held such a meeting at the house of John and Mary Scull, which was very well attended. Thomas Chalkley, another eminent Quaker minister, also mentions holding meet- ings at John Scull's house in 1725. John Scull died in 1745.
Children of John and Mary Scull were: I. John, stolen by the Indians when a child and never recovered. 2. Abel. 3. Peter. 4. Dan- iel, who in 1753 was the collector of Egg Har- bor township, Gloucester county. 5. Benja- min. 6. Margaret, married Robert Smith. 7. Caroline, married Amos Ireland. 8. Mary. 9. Rachel, married James Edwards. 10. John Recompense, married Phebe Dennis. II. Isaiah, married and had one daughter Abigail. 12. Gideon, referred to below. 13. David, died January 10, 1741. 14. An infant which died unnamed.
(II) Gideon, twelfth child and eighth son of John and Mary Scull, was born in 1722, died in 1776. He married, in 1750, Judith, daugh- ter of James and Marjorie (Smith) Bellangee, and granddaughter of Evi or Ives Bellangee, the Huguenot refugee, who had fled from Poitou, France, first to England, and then be- tween 1682 and 1690 to America, and in 1697 had married in the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting of Friends, Christiana de la Plaine, daughter of another French refugee. The name of this family, which was originally de Belangée and de Bellinger, in the old French records, has become corrupted in this country to Bellangee, Bellanger, Ballinger and Bellin- ger. Both Gideon Scull and his wife, Judith Bellangee, died the same year from smallpox contracted at the Salem Quarterly Meeting. Their children were: 1. Paul. 2. Mary, mar- ried David Bassett. 3. James, referred to below. 4. Daniel. 5. Gideon Jr., born 1756, died 1825 ; married Sarah James. 6. Hannah. married David Davis. 7. Judith, married Daniel Offley. 8. Ruth, married Samuel Reeve. 9. Rachel, married Samuel Bolton. IO. Mark, married Mary Browning. 11. Mar- jorie, married Daniel Leeds.
(III) James, third child and second son of Gideon and Judith ( Bellangee) Scull, was born October 2, 1751, and died August 25, 1812. In May, 1774, he married Susanna, daughter of Daniel and Susanna (Steelman) Leeds. granddaughter of Japheth and Deborah (Smith) Leeds, and great-granddaughter of Daniel and Dorothy (Young) Leeds, for whose ancestry see elsewhere.

GASKILL This name is derived from Gascoigne, or Gaskoyne, being another form of this word. Many branches of the Gascoigne family be- came prominent in France and England, one of them being lord mayor of London. An-
other, Sir William, was a noted London judge. The family of Gaskill have been prominent in New Jersey from early times, serving in the legislative bodies and conducting themselves as useful citizens.
(I) Samuel Gaskill, of Mays Landing, New Jersey, was a shipbuilder, and constructed the last vessel built at that place. He had six children, namely : Nicholas B., of Mays Land- ing, deceased was a ship carpenter ; Lottie and Sara A., deceased; Joseph H., a sea captain, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Annie S., mar- ried Albert Smallwood, of Mays Landing ; and Edmund C.
(II) Edmund C., son of Samuel Gaskill, was born at Bargaintown, New Jersey, after- wards removed to May's Landing, where he became a contractor and builder ; he has now retired from active life. He married Hester McCurdy Ashton, born in Emilville, New Jer- sey ; children : Samuel M., deceased ; Edmund Champion ; and Burton Ashton, the latter born October 9, 1889, now a student in the law de- partment of the University of Tennessee, at Knoxville, of which he was elected president of the senior law class for the year 1909-10.
(III) Edmund Champion (2), elder son of Edmund Champion (I) and Hester McCurdy ( Ashton ) Gaskill, was born July 22, 1880, at Mays Landing, New Jersey. He attended the public schools of his native town, and in 1895 graduated from the county course, also from a post-graduate course November 20, 1896. He then attended the high school at Mays Landing, from which he graduated June 10, 1897. After his graduation he spent an- other year in the high school, taking a teacher's course. September 30, 1897, Mr. Gaskill took a competitive examination for a scholarship in Rutgers College, offered by the State of New Jersey, and although he won the scholar- ship circumstances did not allow his taking ad- vantage of the opportunity. In October, 1898, he entered the American University at Harri- man, Tennessee, where he took up the study of law. In February of the following year the University held an oratorical contest in which Mr. Gaskill took second prize. During the summer and fall of r899 Mr. Gaskill was em- ployed by the West Jersey & Sea Shore Rail- road Company. About this time the firm of Bancroft & Whitney, publishers of law books, offered to the senior student in the University receiving the highest grade in the law depart- ment in oral and written examinations, a full set of books on "American Decisions and Re-
847

ports," and Mr. Gaskill won the prize, his per- centage being 94 1-6 out of a possible 100. He graduated June 11, 1900, with the degree of LL. B. Removing to Atlantic City, New Jer- sey, he registered as student at law, with Harry Wootton, City Solicitor, of Atlantic City, where he studied New Jersey law, and Novem- ber 30, 1903, he was admitted as an attorney in the New Jersey bar. Since that time Mr. Gaskill has been successfully engaged in the general practice of his profession. In No- vember, 1904, he was elected to the office of coroner of Atlantic county and in that capacity was called upon, October 29, 1906, to take charge of the inquest held over the victims of the terrible railroad accident known as the "Thoroughfare Bridge disaster." His term of office expired in 1907. In political views he is an ardent Republican, holding the office of secretary of the First Ward Regular Republi- can Club of his city, and September 28, 1909, elected a member of the Atlantic County Re- publican executive committee from the first ward. He is a member of Belcher Lodge No. 180, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons ; Tall Cedars of Lebanon, Forest No. II; Pequod Tribe of Red Men, No. 47; Fraternal Mystic. Circle, No. 890, and is an active member of the Morris Guard, an independent military com- pany of Atlantic City, which he served three years as treasurer. He also belongs to the Meth- odist Episcopal Church of Mays Landing, to the Atlantic County Bar Association, and Sea Side Yacht Club. Mr. Gaskill is popular in social circles, and is a rising young member of his profession, deserving the success he has at- tained through his untiring zeal and energy along the lines of his chosen profession.
He married, June 29, 1904, Helen Macken- zie, daughter of Walter B. and Mary R. Jenks, and they are the parents of one daughter, Dorothy Ashton, born May 23, 1907.
Writing in her diary, September
SMITH 18, 1795, Mrs. Elizabeth Drinker. of Philadelphia, says: "Sam! Smith of Bucks C'y, Saml Smith of Philada, and Sally Smith called this morning. Those three Smiths are in no ways related-it is I be- lieve the most common name in Europe and North America." One reason for this com- monness in the name is that it is one of the so-called trade names, being derived from the trade or work of the original owners and at first being prefixed by the article "the." It is needless to state that of the many Smith
families connected with the family of any of the colonies many of them even in a given lo- cality were unrelated. This is the case with the family we are now considering, which is one of the later residents of the state of New Jersey and came into the state from New York, where it had already made a name for itself in the person of the earliest traced an -. cestor, Samuel A. Smith, of New York, re- ferred to below.
(I) Samuel Asher Smith was born Febru- ary 22, 1782, in Salem, Connecticut, and moved to Guilford, New York, in April, 1805. He married, December 25, 1806, Wealthy Phelps, of Bolton, Connecticut, who was born October 18, 1785. He .represented Chenango in the New York legislature in 1816-17-20, and was also sheriff of Chenango county. He died March 24, 1864. He had a number of chil- dren, among whom was William A., referred to below.
(II) William Augustus, son of Samuel A. Smith, was born in Guilford, Chenango county, New York, March 30, 1820. After receiving his early education in that place he entered Geneva College, New York, first in the classical and literary course, and afterwards in the medical course, and graduated in 1847. For the next five years he practiced at Sidney Plains, Delaware county, New York, and then removed to Norwich, New York, where he established an excellent practice. Volunteer- ing when the civil war broke out, he was ap- pointed assistant surgeon of the Eighty-ninth Regiment of New York Volunteers, December 4, 1861, and soon afterwards was promoted as surgeon of the one hundred and third regi- ment of New York Volunteers, and served in the following engagements: Camden, North Carolina, April 19, 1862; South Mountain, Maryland, September 14, 1862; Antietam, Maryland, September 17, 1862; and while surgeon of the One Hundred and Third New York Volunteers served in the battle of Fred- ericksburg, Virginia, December 13, 1862, and at the siege of Suffolk, Virginia, from April 12, to May 4, 1863, and was in charge of the Third Division, Ninth Army Corps Hospital, and while on duty was severely and very nearly fatally wounded by a pistol ball which entered his abdomen and which remained in his body and was carried by him until his death. He was discharged by reason of this wound on October 23. 1863. On recovering. however, he re-enlisted, and was appointed surgeon of the Forty-seventh New York Vol-

unteer Infantry on December 17, 1863, and was on duty with his regiment at Hilton Head, North Carolina. A short time after that he was ordered to Jacksonville, Florida, and took charge of the hospital there, and reorganized the same and attended to the reception of one thousand five hundred wounded from the bat- tle field of Olustee: He was also placed in charge of the steamer "Monitor" and "Mary Powell" and in July, 1864, he was detailed up the Savannah river in charge of the steamer "George Leasey," and superintended the ex- change of prisoners, and exchanged the last prisoners that were exchanged during the war, and was placed in charge of the general prison hospital at Newport News, Virginia, in the spring of 1865, and was appointed health officer of Norfolk, Virginia, which office he held until August, 1865, when he was mustered out with his regiment on the 30th of that month.
Dr. Smith then settled in Newark, New Jersey, with the intention of confining himself strictly to office practice, but unable to resist the demands upon him, he was soon engaged in active professional practice, which he con- tinued to perform for many years. Notwith- standing his large practice he found the time to be deeply interested in and to be an active participant in everything which worked for the public welfare, and he held several offices of important public trust, being at one time the county clerk of Essex county, and at another alderman of the city of Newark. He died August 6, 1892. He was a member of the various county and state medical societies, and was held in high esteem by his professional brethren and all who knew him. By his wife, Betsey E. (Wade) Smith, who died August 20, 1902, in her eighty-first year, he had two children : 1. Samuel Asher, referred to below. 2. Wealthy Phelps, who married John Townley and has had two daughters, Maud and Bessie. The latter died in infancy. Maud married Richard Hobart and has two children : Richard Jr. and John Reginald.
(III) Samuel Asher (2), only son of Dr. William A. and Betsey E. (Wade) Smith, was born in Sidney Plains, New York, August 21, 1852. He is engaged in the real estate busi- ness in New York City, and has his office in the new Terminal Building. He secured his early
education in Norwich, New York, and on the return of his father from the civil war in 1865 moved with him to Newark and attended the State street public school, and finished his education at the Grace Church Protestant Episcopal school. In 1887 he was elected and served a full term as county clerk of Essex county, and in 1892 was appointed a member of the excise board of the city of Newark, and was elected its president. In 1899 he was appointed by the president to take the census of 1900 and also took the manufacturers' cen- sus of Essex county. He married, November 12, 1879, Ada M., the youngest of the thirteen children of the late Rosches Heinisch, who emigrated to this country about 1828, and who attained fame as the originator of patent tailor shears and as the inventor of the original pro- cess for welding steel on iron. He died Au- gust 6, 1874. Samuel A. by his wife Ada M. has had three children: I. Edmund E., born September 3, 1880. 2. William Asher, re- ferred to below. 3. Wayne Parker, born Oc- tober 22, 1896.
(IV) William Asher, second child and son of Samuel Asher (2) and Ada M. (Heinisch) Smith, was born in Newark, New Jersey, De- cember 1, 1883, and is now living in Newark. He was educated at the Newark Academy, and on February 20, 1899, entered the law office of Coult & Howell, with whom he read and studied law until December 1, 1904, when he was admitted to the New Jersey bar as an at- torney. He continued in the office of Coult & Howell, which firm was subsequently changed to Coult, Howell & Ten Eyck, and on the retirement of Jay Ten Eyck from that firm on his appointment as judge of the Essex county court of common pleas, he was admit- ted on May 1, 1906, into partnership with Jo- seph Coult and James E. Howell, and the firm was continued as Coult, Howell & Smith. In November, 1907, on the retirement of James E. Howell from the firm, on his appointment as vice chancellor, Mr. Coult and Mr. Smith continued the practice of law under the name of Coult & Smith. Mr. Smith was admitted to the bar as a counsellor in November, 1907. He is a member of the Essex Club, North End Club, Forest Hill Field Club, the Automobile Club, and the Lawyers' Club of Essex County. He is unmarried.
