He continued his journeys almost until the close of his long life. At the advanced age of sixty-six he sailed from Philadelphia for the south. Landing at Charleston, he went over- land through South Carolina and Georgia to St. Augustine, Florida, whence he set out to seek the sources of the San Juan or St. John's river, which he explored for nearly four hun- dred miles. The results of his observations and discoveries were embraced in a report which was duly approved by the governor, which was then sent to the board of trade and plantation in England, who published the same.
Collinson's friendship not only brought Bar- tram into close fellowship with the leading scientific men of England, but also secured for him the patronage of Robert, Lord Petre, the Earl of Bute, the Duke of Richmond, Hans Sloane, and other of the nobility, who contrib- uted a fund raised to liquidate the expenses incurred by Bartram in his numerous excur- sions into the American wilderness. Through the influence moreover of his friends in Eng- land, Bartram was appointed botanist to King George III.
Bartram maintained the same close relations to the great men of America as with those of England, his intimates embracing the leading scholars and scientists of Philadelphia, then the chief center of learning in the new world, and among his particular friends should be noted James Logan, mayor of Philadelphia, chief justice and governor of Pennsylvania, and "the most polished gentleman of his time," and Benjamin Franklin, with the latter of whom as early as 1743 Bartram was associated in the organization of the American Philo- sophical Society. As a writer John Bartram is best known by his letters to Collinson and others, his "Observations," published in Lon- con in 1751, and the report of his Florida trip, which, together with his journal, was likewise published in London in 1766.
John Bartram married (first), April 25,
1723, Mary, daughter of Richard and Eliza- beth (Hayes) Maris (see Maris). She died in 1727, and he married (second), December II, 1729, Ann, born September 22, 1703, died January 29, 1789, daughter of Benjamin and Ann (Pennell ) Mendenhall. Her father, Ben- jamin Mendenhall, came from Mildenhall, county Wilts, England, settled at Concord in that part of Chester county, Pennsylvania, which is now Delaware county, and in 1714 was a member of the provincial assembly. Children, two by first wife: Richard, Isaac, James, Moses, Elizabeth, Mary, William, Eliz- abeth, Ann, John ( referred to below), Benja- ınin.
(IV) John (3), son of John (2) and Ann ( Mendenhall) Bartram, was born at King- sessing, October 24, 1743, and died there, No- vember 16, 1812. Like his distinguished father and his brother William, John Bartram Jr. gave his attention to the science of botany. The garden was given to him by his father soon after his marriage, and he became a niem- ber of a number of societies both in America and in Europe; and to a considerable extent he travelled in search of plants and seeds for reproduction at his establishment, and the first general catalog of plants in the garden was published by him in 1807. May 9, 1771, John Bartram married his cousin, Eliza, daughter of Isaac and Mary ( Bartram) Howell, for whose ancestry see (II) above. Children : Mary, Ann Mendenhall, Elizabeth, John. Ann, James Howell (referred to below). Only two daughters and one son married.
(V) James Howell, son of John (3) and Eliza (Howell) Bartram, was born at King- sessing, November 24, 1783, and died in Phila- delphia, April 18, 1818. He matriculated in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in 1 802, and finished his professional studies under Professor Benjamin S. Barton. Throughout his life he was engaged in the practice of his profession, but he also inherited from his father and grandfather a predilection for bot- any, and gave considerable attention to the furtherance of that science. In 1805 he em- barked in the ship "George Washington," with Captain John Travis, for the Cape of Good Hope, the island of Java, and the East Indies. In the following year he sailed for home from Calcutta in the brig "Mercury," bringing many rare plants and seeds to enrich the garden. He was a man of strict Quaker principles, and for years never accepted a fee for his medical services. Dr. Bartram married, August 15.

William Taylor, of Dore, coun- TAYLOR ty Derby, England, and a brother of Samuel Taylor, of Chesterfield, Burlington county, West New Jersey. committed a deed for land in West New Jersey province to Benjamin Phorse, of England, who disappeared and was never heard front. and May 25, 1696, George Hutchinson,
the maker of the deed, gave a new deed direct to Samuel Taylor to cover the transfer made by the original deed. Samuel Taylor, accord- ing to Revel's book of surveys, made in Bur- lington county, secured one hundred acres from William Black, September, 1682; fifty acres from Marmaduke Horsman in March, 1684, located on Block creek ; one hundred and fifty acres adjoining his former settlement of one hundred and fifty-nine acres, making a total of three hundred and nine acres, Febru- ary 9. 1688; one hundred and fifty acres from George Hutchinson, August 26, 1696. He is described as Samuel Taylor, "stuff-weaver," of Crosswicks Creek, March 19-20, 1684-85, and also as "planter" in 1685. On February IO. 1686-87, he is described as of Horner's Creek, West Jersey. as "yoeman," and November 10, 1690, Samuel Taylor, of Chesterfield, sold to Marmaduke Horsman fifty-three acres of land. These dates show him to have been a native of England and therefore an important and a large landholder. We find no close connection, however, with the Taylors of Derbyshire, al- though it is a common name in that section of England.
(I) Samuel Taylor, born 1663, died 1723. made his will in Chesterfield, Burlington coun- ty, West New Jersey, November 26, 1723, in which he names children : Samuel, John, George, William and Robert, the names of all of whom appear in the county lists of the township of Chesterfield as holding various town offices between 1700 and 1732, some of them serving as long as six years, and one name, Joseph Taylor, appears in the civil list not named as a son of Samuel Sr. These sons must have been born very early in the eighteenth century or very late in the seven- teenth, say 1695 to 1705.
(II) John, second son of Samuel Taylor, born probably in 1695, appears permanently in the civil list between 1735 and 1750, being chosen freeholder of the township of Chester- field in 1745, and overseer of highways. He evidently had sons: John, Joseph, Robert, Charles, Samuel and William. Robert was a freeholder in 1779-80 and overseer of the poor from 1782.
(III) Joseph, second son of John Taylor, was born in Burlington county, New Jersey, probably about 1735. He was, like his father, prominent in town affairs. He married, and among his children was David.
(IV) David, son of Joseph Taylor, was born in Chesterfield, Burlington county, New Jer- sey. August 23, 1774, died in Cookstown, New

(V) John Bullock, eldest son and second child of David and Elizabeth ( Bullock) Taylor, was born in Cookstown, New Jersey, Novem- ber 18, 1808, died in Bordentown, New Jer- sey, March 26, 1877. He was educated in the district schools and in a boarding school at Wilmington, and on leaving school became a school teacher in Vincentown, New Jersey, and afterward kept a country store at Buddtown. He next purchased the Woodman farm near Jacksonville, formerly owned by his grand- father, which he cultivated for four years. In 1864 he removed to Camden, New Jersey, where in 1865 he engaged in business, having purchased the feed store of Troth & Beagary, in which store his three sons were engaged as clerks. He retired in 1866, leaving the busi- ness entirely with his three sons. He made his home at Columbus, New Jersey, up to within a few years of his death, when he removed to Bordentown. He was married (first) by Friends' ceremony, September 27, 1832, to Susan D., daughter of Joseph and Mary Wool- man : she was born on her grandfather's farm near Jacksonville, Burlington county, New Jer- sey, October 21, 1807, died there May 21. 1852. Children, born in Buddtown, New Jer- sey : 1. Caroline Bullock, July 13, 1833 ; mar- ried, and became mother of R. H. Aaronson, of Bordentown, whose sketch appears in this work. 2.

Taylor, was born in Buddtown, Burlington county, New Jersey, November 7, 1842. He attended the Friends' school near Jacksonville, Burlington county. He worked on his father's farm, and after his father's removal to Cam- den in 1864 he worked in the feed store of Troth & Beagary as clerk, and in 1865 his father bought out the business of the firm and he became a partner in the business with his father and brothers, Charles W. and Joseph W. His father retired at the end of the year, and the three brothers continued the business of John B. Taylor & Company under the old firm name. On December 31, 1871, Josepli W. retired from the firm, but the business was continued under the same firm name by Charles W. and George E. Taylor. On December 31, 1875, Charles Woolman Taylor sold out his interests to his brother; Joseph W., and they conducted the business thereafter as Taylor Brothers. In 1880 Taylor Brothers built a new storehouse fifty by one hundred feet, and their business in handling feed, seeds and agri- cultural implements increased from the time the business was undertaken by John Bullock Taylor and his three sons in 1865, when the firm employed two helpers on the pay roll, and in 1909 the firm carried fifty-eight employees on the pay roll. In 1881 Joseph W. withdrew from the firm and George E. continued in the business with no partner but under the same firm name until 1891, when he admitted as a partner his son, George Wilbur Taylor, then twenty-five years of age. George E. Taylor affiliated with the Republican party, and was a member of the Baptist church in Camden, serving as superintendent of the Sunday school for twenty-five years.

HIRES John (or Conrad, or: John Conrad ) Hires came from Wurtemburg, a kingdom of Europe, where every child between seven and fourteen years of age must attend school, every district of thirty or more families enjoying a free school and a teacher for every ninety children, and where a great university is sustained at Tubengen with eighty ordinary and extraordinary pro- fessors and tutors ; four Protestant theological seminaries with a course of four years study ; numerous gymnasiums, grammar, trade and high schools; agricultural and botanical insti- tutions instructing and informing in forestry and gardening, and with not one person above ten years of age who cannot read or write. It was about the middle of the eighteenth century when John Conrad Hires, came and he became the progenitor of a numerous family in West Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is to such men, coming from so enlightened a country, that the excellent free school system of the section in which they settled is due. John Conrad Hires had born to him four sons : John, Conrad, Jacob and David.
(II) John, eldest son of John Conrad Hires, the patriarch emigrant from Wurtemburg, was born in West Jersey, probably about 1765, and was an early farmer of Hopewell, Mer- cer county, New Jersey, and the father of eight children.
