(III) John Aquila, third child and eldest son of Joseph Aquila and Sarah (Cowperth- waite) Jones, was born in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, June 23, 1867, and is now living at Mount Holly, New Jersey. For his early schooling he was sent to the public schools, and then to Philadelphia, where he completed his education. He then engaged in farming in Burlington county, where to-day he and his brother, Joseph W. are operating seven hun- dred acres of land, two hundred acres of which they are employing in the special cultivation of potatoes. They have purchased the old Bisben farm, and are among the largest of the pro- duce dealers and farmers in that part of the state, supplying not only the Philadelphia market but also many other large firms in var- ious parts of the country. Mr. Jones is a member of the Society of Friends, and also of the Order of Elks of Mount Holly. Feb- ruary 10, 1892, Mr. Jones married Anna D., daughter of Charles and Mary Andrews. Her family is one of the oldest in Burlington county, and also has for generations been one of the most prominent. Their children are: Mary, born February 3, 1895; Charles, Janu- ary 23, 1898; and Martha, November 16, 1899.
CUMMING
The history of the family treated here has been for many generations prom-
inently identified with the history of the Scot- tish home. From 1777 to 1826 William Cum- ming, father and son, were almost continuously either baillies or treasurers of the historic old town of Kilmarnock, Scotland, while Robert, the son of William Cumming Jr., held one of the same offices from 1836 to 1846, and in 1847 was made the provost of the town. This Robert was the father of the founder of the family in this country, and by his wife, Helen, cousin to Sir Peter Halkett, baronet, had seven children, one of whom was Robert, see forward.
(I) Robert Cumming, born in Kilmarnock, Scotland, July 21, 1842, died in Newark, New
Jersey, May 25, 1908, and his remains are interred in Mount Pleasant cemetery. After receiving his early education in the Kilmar- nock Academy, he went to London at about the age of eighteen and became a clerk in the branch office there of the Royal Bank of Scot- land. When he had become proficient and proved his worth, he was sent to the Glasgow office of the same bank, and later returned home and became the manager of the Kilmar- nock branch, and was one of the founders of the penny savings banks there. He was en- gaged in the banking business up to the time he came to this country. Some time after assuming the managership of the Kilmarnock branch he was offered a position with the Clark Thread Company. In 1880 he emigrated to the United States, and settling in Newark, New Jersey, became one of their chief men and eventually one of the partners, taking an active part in the management of the business. About 1893 he retired from active business, although he did not relinquish work altogether, and continued to act as director in the Ameri- can Wood Fire Proofing Company, the Ameri- can Creosoting Company, and the Marshall Linen Thread Company of Kearney, New Jersey. He was also very actively interested in the old Newark, Harrison and Kearney Horse Car Company. Mr. Cumming was a member and a deacon in the North Reformed Church in Newark, and a member of the Essex Club and the Lawyers' Club of New York. He never took out naturalization papers in the United States, believing that his oath of alle- giance to the Queen (he having been a volun- teer before coming to this country) prevented his swearing to a new allegiance. Robert Cum- ming married, August 4, 1870, in Paisley, Ayrshire, Scotland, Elizabeth, daughter of James and Elizabeth (Clark) Millar. Her mother was the sister of George A. Clark, who was later the senior partner in the Clark Thread Company. Children: I. Robert Will- iam, referred to below. 2. Elizabeth Clark Millar, born June 21, 1873; married Thomas Greenlees Jr., and is now living in Paisley, Scotland ; children : Thomas, Robert Cumming and Elizabeth Aiken Greenlees. 3. James Mil- lar, referred to below. 4. John Clark, born April 5, 1878; married Isabelle Miller ; child, Gertrude; they are now living in Stockdale, Texas.
(II) Robert William, eldest child of Robert and Elizabeth (Aiken) (Millar ) Cumming, was born in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland, May 1, 1871, and is now living in Newark,

(II) James Millar, third child and second son of Robert and Elizabeth Aiken ( Millar) Cumming, was born in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland, March 28, 1876. He was about five years old when his father brought him to this country, and his education was acquired in the Newark Academy, from which institution he graduated in 1894. He is a Republican in his political belief. He holds membership in the Essex Troop, and when the Spanish-American war broke out in 1898 he volunteered to go with his troop, but was not engaged in active service. He is a member of the Essex Club and the Essex County Country Club. He and his wife are communicants of St. James Protestant Episcopal Church in Newark. He married in Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church in Hoboken, New Jersey, June 4, 1898, Julia Stevens, born in Hoboken, New Jersey, March, 1877, third child and second daughter of Edward Parke Custis and Mary Picton (Stevens-Garnett) Lewis.

PARKE An ancient authority on the origin and derivation of our English patronymics (1594) says: "If a man had three sonnes, the one dwelling at the Townsend, the other at ye Woods, and the thyrde at the Parke, they all took their surnames from theire dwellings and left their anncient surnames; which errour hath overthrowen and brought into iii-34
oblyvion manye annciente houses in this realm of England." The "Patronymica Britan- nica," London, 1860, gives us the several sources from which the Park and Parke sur- names are derived: "Park, from a residence near a park. At-Park and A-Parke." "Parke, may be a derivative of Peter, and intermediate between that and Perkins; or, local, either from one of the places Parc in Normandy, situated respectively near Dieppe and Bernay, or from a residence near some English park, like De la Parke of the H. R.," etc.
The Parke family of the branch under con- sideration here, comes of the English family of the same name, and doubtless had its origin in the source mentioned in the preceding para- graph. The earliest known ancestor of this particular family was a native of Philadel- phia, hence was at least one generation re- moved from his ancestor, and there is room for the belief that still earlier generations of the family dwelt in this country, although no record of them can be found in any of the genealogical references now extant.
(I) Edwin Parke, with whom this narrative begins was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1807, and spent the earlier years of his life in that city, attending the public schools ; but when still a boy he removed thence to Paterson and there learned the trade of loom building, which he followed as an occupation so long as he lived. He died in 1872, being then sixty- five years old, and having been an industrious and reasonably successful mechanic. At one time he held the office of alderman, and it is known that he was a man of good understand- ing and a faithful public servant. He married Anna, daughter of Abram Serven. She bore him four children, of whom two, Howard B., of Boston, Massachusetts, and Dr. Henry Parke of Paterson, are now living.
(II) Dr. Henry Parke, son of Edwin and Anna Parke, was born in Monsey, New York, July 9, 1852, and acquired his early education in public schools in Paterson. He was edu- cated for the profession of medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, now the medical department of Columbia University, and was graduated from that institution with the degree of M. D. in 1882. He at once began active general prac- tice in Paterson, and soon came to be recog- nized as one of the leading young men of his profession in that city; and in later years Dr. Parke has lost nothing of his early prestige and now enjoys a large and successful practice. In connection with professional employments

he has served in various capacities, and at one time was a member of the medical staff of St. Joseph's Hospital, Paterson. He is a mem- ber of the Passaic County Medical Society and also of Ivanhoe Lodge, F. and A. M. Dr. Parke never married.

Jan Sneden and his brother SNEDEN Claes, founders of the family of this name in America, are descended from a family resident for many years in Amsterdam. Jan, his wife and two children, and his brother Claes, came to New Amsterdam in December, 1657, in the ship "St. Jean Baptiste." Claes settled in New Amsterdam, and Jan removed to Haarlaem in 1660, where he occupied for a time the house and bouwerie of Morris Pieterson, until he secured an allotment of his own. In 1662 both he and his wife died, and the magistrates sold his property at public vendue, the house and lands with the growing grain being bought by Jacques Coussean for 135 guilders, and the household goods going to various per-

(VIII) William S., son of Samuel and Maria (Verbryck) Sneden, was born in Piermont, Rockland county, New York, January 2, 1829, and died in Red Bank, Monmouth county, New Jersey, April 14, 1905. He was a civil engineer and spent most of his life in con- structing and managing railroads, being con- nected in an engineering or operating capacity with the New York & Erie, the Northern Central, the Fredericksburg & Gordonville, the Ohio & Mississippi, the Northern Railroad of New Jersey, the Raritan & Delaware Bay Railroad, the New York, Boston & Montreal Railroad, the New Jersey Southern, the New York & Long Branch, the Jacksonville, St. Augustine & Halifax River Railroad, Jack- sonville, Tampa & Key West Railroad, the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and several local electric railway lines.

ber of the engineering party which made the first survey for the Ohio & Mississippi railroad, and for three years he was chief engineer of the Fredericksburg & Gordonville railroad in Virginia. From 1857 to 1860 he was chief engineer of the Northern Railroad of New Jersey, and for six years principal assistant engineer and superintendent of the Raritan & Delaware Bay railroad, since changed to the New Jersey Southern. Thus he was continu- ously associated with railroad construction and the operation of different lines which have proved important highways for commerce and travel, and have led to the development and settlement of many sections of the country. For a short time in 1874 he was receiver for the New Jersey Southern railroad, following which he acted as general manager for the bondholders' trustees, who operated the road until 1880. Mr. Sneden's principal work, as considered front a local standpoint, was in the projection and location of the New York and Long Branch railroad, constructed by the New Jersey Central; this subsequently opened up the Jersey coast to settlement and business enterprises as nothing else has done, proving a foundation upon which has been raised the superstructure of its present prosperity and progress.
Mr. Sneden, while water commissioner of Red Bank, engineered and had charge of the erection of the reservoir and water works of that town. He was a Democrat in politics, and a member of the Dutch Reformed Church at Piermont, New York, and attended the Presbyterian Church while residing at Red Bank, New Jersey. He married, in Harris- burg, Pennsylvania, October 21, 1850, Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Hiram Henry and Mary (Hochlander) Hetzel, who was born in Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, March 21, 1831, and died in Red Bank, New Jersey, June 23, 1904.

(IX) George Virginius, son of William S. and Mary Elizabeth ( Hetzel) Sneden, was born at Fredericksburg. Virginia, January 26, 1856,
and is now living at Red Bank, New Jersey. For his early education he attended the Red Bank Academy, the Red Bank high school and the Freehold Institute; and after taking a special course in civil engineering at Lehigh University he became leveler in the engineer- ing corps in the construction of the New York & Long Branch railroad, and since then has been successively clerk and draughtsman in the machine shops of the New Jersey Southern
railroad, then clerk in the passenger depart- ment, clerk in the office of the auditor and cashier, and clerk in the office of the general manager, all of the same railroad, clerk and operator for the division freight agent of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and finally chief clerk and assistant to the superintendent of the New York & Long Branch Railroad.

Bernardus Verbryck, the first member of this family of whom we have definite informa- tion, settled on the Raritan, in Somerset county, New Jersey. He is said to have been the son of Samuel and Ida (Barends) Garret- sen of Gravesend, Long Island. Children : Samuel, referred to below; Johannes; Wil- helmus.

31, 1784. He started to learn the trade of wheelwright, but gave it up in order to study for the ministry under Dominie Goetschius. By permission of the Classis of Amsterdam he was examined and ordained by the Coetus in this country, which speaks highly of his scholarly attainments and excellent life, and these tributes are sustained by all that tradition has handed down of his ministerial record. The Coetus and Conferentie troubles ran high during the first twenty years of his ministry, and the American revolution came and went during its last nine years. So his whole period at Tappan was one of intense excitement. From the first he was with the majority of his people on the side of the Coetus. In 1761 he sought to obtain from the government a char- ter for an academy, and also opposed fixed forms of prayer and festival days. On account of these things some of his ministerial brethren asked the Classis of Amsterdam to discipline him for contumacy. They especially com- plained that if he should get the charter for an academy, it would only tend to increase the same kind of ministers. But the dominie per- sisted, and he was prominent as an agent in bringing about the restored peace of the church. It was he who secured from the gov- ernor of New Jersey the original charter for Queens (now Rutgers) College, bearing date March 20, 1770. He was one of the original trustees of the college, and did everything in his power to promote the education of young men, particularly their education for the min- istry. He seems in all this to have been far, in advance even of most ministers of his time. His zeal was so great as to give offense to some of his people at Tappan, so that they refused to pay their share of his salary. His good judgment, however, carried him through the excitement, and brought him success. Yet it was providentially ordered that his life should be a disturbed life to the end. Scarcely had the church controversy been adjusted when the Revolution broke out. The historic identifi- cation of Tappan, its roads and hills, its homes, and even its old church with the inci- dients of the war, are historical. Dominie Ver- bryck was a genuine patriot, and as such was one of the sufferers in the struggle of the country for independence. After having been annoyed during his first twenty years by the opposition of Dominie Muzelius, and in the last of these twenty years by the springing up of a schismatic organization among his people, he was destined to have his church life and work still further disturbed by the war, and
