ABBOTT Whether the Abbott family of South Jersey is related to the Abbotts of Rowley, Massachu- setts, is rather questionable in the light of evi- dence existing at present, but the conjecture has been made and should not be passed over in silence.


(I) The christian name of the founder of the Salem county Abbotts has been lost as has been also that of his wife, but as early as 1692, five of his children were in the region of Fen- wick's colony. They were: John, of Salem county, and his wife Elizabeth, who died in 1693 ; Thomas, of Cohansey, and his wife Mar- garet, who died in 1719; Stephen ; George, re- ferred to below ; Eve, wife of Dickason Sheep- ard.


(II) George, son of the founder of the Ab- bott family in Salem county, established him- self there in 1698, and in 1704 built the brick house, still standing, in which he lived. He died in 1729. By his wife, Mary, he had the following children: Benjamin, born March 2, 1700; Hannah, November 30, 1702 ; George, December 13, 1704 ; Sarah, April 16, 1707, died unmarried, 1730; Rebeckah, born August 10, 1709, married Lewis Howell; Samuel, re- ferred to below ; Mary, born October 26, 1714.


(III) Samuel, youngest son of George and Mary Abbott, of Elsinborough township, was born August 26, 1712. In 1733 he married at the Haddonfield Monthly Meeting, Hannah Foster, and had children: George, born Feb- ruary 28, 1734; William, referred to below ; Rebeckah, born December 26, 1740; married Joseph Brick, of Cumberland county.


(IV) William, youngest son of Samuel and Hannah (Foster) Abbott, was born in Elsin- borough township, Salem county, June 4, 1737, died there in April, 1800. About January, 1763, he married Rebecca Tyler, of Elsinborough, by whom he had three sons: Samuel, referred to below; George, born September 27, 1765 ; Josiah, September 23, 1768.


(V) Samuel (2), eldest child of William and Rebecca (Tyler) Abbott, was born in Elsinborough township, Salem county, Novem- ber 27, 1763, died there April 14, 1835. In 1791 he married (first) Marcia or Mercy Gill in the Haddonfield Monthly Meeting, who died February 1, 1798. Children : I. William, born August 22, 1792. 2.

Samuel, March 14, 1815, died September 15. 1885 ; married Sarah Wistar. 8. George, re- ferred to below. 9. Martha, April 4, 1819. Martha (Ogden) Abbott died May 4, 1848, aged seventy years.


(VI) George (2), youngest son of Samuel and Martha (Ogden) Abbott, was born in Elsinborough township, Salem county, July 13, 1817, died there September 27, 1888. He was an elder in the Salem Monthly Meeting, and- an active business man, and like all of his immediate ancestors was a large landholder and had large farming interests.

MORIN The name Morin stands for a French family of distinction in both social and military life, and while the particular branch here under consid- ยท eration had been known in New Jersey less than two score years, its representatives have been persons of character and worth.


(I) Captain John Francis Morin, with whom the New Jersey line begins, was born


in Nantes, France, in 1797, and died in the West Indies, in 1875. He was educated in the college in Nantes, and after leaving there chose army life as most suited to his tastes. He entered the army of France, winning a captain's commission. His military record was one of splendid courage, and throughout his soldier career he showed himself to be a man of high character. During the reign of the third Napoleon, being an Orleanist, he ex- patriated himself, taking refuge in England, whence he sailed for the West Indies, and there passed a life of genteel retirement, being well possessed of means, as well as being a gentleman of education and refinement. He married Mary Magdelena de Mathen, a French lady, who died in the West Indies, having borne her husband six children: Claire, Mary, John Francis, who became a British customs officer ; Gustave, Charles, Michelle Arnold.


(II) Michelle Arnold, son of Captain John Francis Morin, physician and surgeon, of New Egypt, Burlington county, New Jersey, was born in Jamaica, West Indies, in April, 1855, and there acquired his earlier education. He subsequently went to England, entered St. Joseph's College, London, and was graduated from that institution in 1875. In the following year he came to the United States. Soon after landing in New York he became connected with the reportorial staffs of the Herald, the Sun, and other metropolitan newspapers. He traveled extensive, and was occupied in vari- ous capacities until 1893, when he matriculated in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, completed the regular four year course there, and in 1897 was graduated with the degree of M. D. After his gradua- tion, Dr. Morin remained a year in Philadel- phia and then located for practice in Wrights- town, New Jersey, and there he remained until 1902, when he located permanently in New Egypt. Dr. Morin married, December 30, 1897, Anna, daughter of Colonel Charles and Ann (Rogers) Bennett, of Mt. Holly, New Jersey ; children: Charles, born in Wrights- town, November 8, 1899; Eda, born at same place, July 18, 1900.


Colonel Charles Bennett, of Mt. Holly, New Jersey, father of Anna (Bennett) Morin, was born in 1822, and died January 17, 1905. He took an honorable part in the Mexican war, having organized a company in which he was commissioned lieutenant, and which he led to the field. He was soon promoted to captain, and at the close of the war was honorably mustered out of service with the brevet com-

mission of colonel. After returning home he engaged in contracting and building in Mt. Holly, where he made his residence. Polit- ically he was a Democrat of the old school. He was one of the founders of the Firemen's Relief Fund of Mt. Holly, and treasurer of the organization for many years, and so stern was his integrity that he was not required to give bond. Samuel Bennett, father of Colo- nel Charles Bennett, was born in Mt. Holly, September 3, 1771, and died August 23, 1841 ; he married Sarah Wright. Joseph Bennett, father of Samuel Bennett, died at Mt. Holly, October 6, 1818, and his wife Martha died May 29, 1820, having borne her husband three children : Elizabeth, born November 24, 1768; Samuel, September 3, 1771 ; Joseph, March 18, 1780.


HOPKINS There is perhaps no more interesting character in the early history of Gloucester county than Elizabeth Estaugh. The passing away of one generation after another has not blunted the interest felt in her good deeds, nor has the lapse of time obliterated the traditions handed down from parent to child. She came to New Jersey a young, unsophisticated girl, comparatively alone. She left a home where she had been surrounded by friends and all that rendered life attractive and she cast her lot in the midst of an unbroken forest at some distance from her neighbors, a stranger in a strange land. Her father was John Haddon, a Friend, who lived in Rotherhithe, parish of St. George, Southwark, county Surrey, Eng- land, a place at that time a suburb of London and on the east side of the Thames. He was a blacksmith, extending his business to the making of anchors and had his shop between the street before mentioned and the river. His ancestry may possibly be traced to the manor of Haddon in Derbyshire, now a part of the estates of the Duke of Rutland. Born in 1682, Elizabeth Haddon, whose name is per- petuated in Haddonfield, came to New Jersey in 1701 with a few friends in order to look after her father's property in the province. Here she met and married John Estaugh, and passed her long eventful life, dying March 30, 1762, and having no children, she left most of her property to be taken care of by the de- scendants of her sister's children who were the founders of the Hopkins family of New Jer- sey.


(I) Benjamin Hopkins was a wine mer- chant in the city of London. In 1706 he mar-


ried Sarah, daughter of John Haddon, of Rotherhithe, and the only sister of Elizabeth (Haddon) Estaugh. His children were: Mary, Sarah, Betty, who died young ; Benjamin, who died young ; Haddon, born 1715 ; Ebenezer, re- ferred to below.


(II) Ebenezer, son of Benjamin and Sarah (Haddon) Hopkins, was born in London, Eng- land, June 20, 1718, died in 1757. His aunt, Elizabeth Estaugh, having no children of her own, adopted her nephew Ebenezer, brought him to America, educated him, and had him live with her in New Haddonfield. In 1752 she conveyed to him a tract of land fronting on Cooper's creek in Haddon township, later on known as the Ann Burr farm, and adjoin- ing other lands which she had given him. On this property he probably resided and besides his farming became a surveyor and land con- veyancer. After his death his widow removed to Haddonfield and occupied a house and lot bought in 1752 by Elizabeth Estaugh of the estate of Samuel Mickle. It stood on the west side of Main street, and is still in the pos- session of a descendant of Ebenezer Hopkins, although the house was removed several years ago and now stands on the north side of Ellis street. It is the only building now left in Haddonfield that can be associated with Eliza- beth Estaugh, and in it resided her only col- lateral descendants and those who were to her the continuation of her family in America. Ebenezer Hopkins married, April 9, 1736, Sarah, daughter of James Lord, of Woodbury creek, who bore him seven children: 1. John Estaugh, referred to below. 2. Elizabeth Es- taugh, born March 14, 1738, died May II, 1790; married, in 1762, John Mickle. 3. Had- don, June 30, 1745, died 1768; married Han- nah, daughter of Joshua and Amy ( Hinch- man) Stokes. 4. Ebenezer Jr., October 26, 1746, died June 13, 1781 ; married, 1764, Ann, daughter of William Albertson. 5. Sarah, February 4, 1749, died 1769; married, 1767, Caleb Cresson. 6. Mary, October 31, 1750, married, 1770, Joshua Cresson. 7. Ann, Au- gust 17, 1757, died 1833; married, in 1793, Marmaduke Burr. The property on which her father lived descended to and took its name from her.


(III) John Estaugh, son of Ebenezer and Sarah (Lord) Hopkins, was born July 6, 1737, died March 2, 1806. He married, in 1762, Sarah, daughter of William Mickle, and had seven children: 1. James, born January 25, 1763, died 1826; married (first) 1784, Re- becca Clement, and (second) Ann Hugg. 2.
