In December, 1879, he was a charter member of Lafayette Council, No. 545, and gave the name to the lodge.

The Abrams family of New ABRAMS Jersey, or as the name was orig- inally spelled, Abrahams, comes from good old English stock, of county North- ampton, England, where the original emigrant ancestor was born, and from whence he came to this country with his wife, Janet, about 1750. He died September 13, 1765, aged sixty- nine years six months eighteen days, and his wife died April 3, 1747, aged forty-three years. Of their children, a daughter, Elizabeth, mar- ried Enoch D. Thomas, and died in 1762, and their son, Charles, died in 1760, aged about forty years.


It is unfortunate that the paucity of records as yet brought to light are insufficient to enable us to trace with exactness all of the descend- ants of James Abrams, especially as more than one member of his family rose to distinction in the early days and later. There seems to be, however, little doubt but that he is the ancestor of the line at present under consideration, and whose earliest known ancestor, Cornelius, is referred to below.


(I) Cornelius Abrams, whose father, it is said, served with distinction in the revolution- ary war, was himself a soldier in the Mexican and civil wars, in both of which he served with distinction. For the greater part of his life he was one of the largest breeders of blooded and race horses in the state of New Jersey. He married Louisa, daughter of Dr. Hend- ricks, of New Jersey ; children: Jacob ; Cor-


nelius ; Julia; Alice; Matilda; John W., now living at Trenton.


(II) Jacob, son of Cornelius and Louisa (Hendricks) Abrams, was born at Freehold, Monmouth county, New Jersey, January 24, 1824, and died there, February 4, 1903. For thirty-three years he was the hotel proprietor at Red Lion. He was a Republican, and for many years was one of the board of chosen freeholders in Millstone township. He mar- ried (first) Achsah R., daughter of Robert and May (Mandy) James, of Monmouth coun- ty, a descendant of one of the oldest families in that portion of the state, whose emigrant ancestor, William James, son of Thomas, was called "loving friend and brother" by Roger Williams. He was one of the original pur- chasers of the Monmouth lands from the In- dians, and in December, 1667, sold his share to William Reape. He lived and died in Ports- mouth, Rhode Island, and his son, Richard, the first of the name to settle in Monmouth county, is recorded there in 1690 as witness to a deed. His grandson, Robert, was great- grandfather of Achsah R. (James) Abrams, who was educated at the Freehold Seminary and buried at Riverside, New Jersey. Chil- dren of Jacob and Achsah R. (James ) Abrams : Albert, died in infancy; Mary A., married Richard Lippincott; Douglass T., who con- ducts the hotel at Red Lion, formerly owned by his father; George R., referred to below. Jacob Abrams married (second) Jane Burke, who bore him one child, Elmer.


(III) George R., child of Jacob and Achsah R. (James) Abrams, was born in Freehold, New Jersey, January 2, 1864. He was edu- cated in the select school of John G. Herbert, at Vincentown, Burlington county, and as a young man engaged in the poultry and pro- duce business, in which he has been success- fully engaged ever since. Beginning on a small scale he has added to his farm land until now he possesses one of the finest and most pro- ductive farms in the county. He is a director in the Safe Deposit and Trust Company at Mount Holly, and a vestryman of the Protest- ant Episcopal Church in Vincentown. In poli- tics he is a Republican, and for a number of


-


years he has been the representative of South- ampton township on the board of education. He is a member of Central Lodge, No. 44, F. and A. M., of Vincentown, of which he is a past master; a member of Lodge No. 848, Elks, of Mount Holly, and of the Junior Order of American Mechanics. September 24, 1890,

George Robbins Abrams married Martha T .. daughter of Alfred J. Reynolds, of Mount Holly. Children : Cordelia Reynolds, born June 28, 1892 ; Achsah Rue, January 1, 1897.


CHANCE The paternal ancestors of the subject of this sketch were among the early English settlers in New Castle county, on the Delaware, now the state of Delaware, near the line of Penn- sylvania, of which province the the three coun- ties now composing the state of Delaware were territories during the colonial period.


(I) Captain John Chance, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was a son of Spen- cer Chance, of near Marcus Hook. He went to sea in early life, and becoming captain of a merchant vessel trading between Philadel- phia and the West Indies and foreign ports, followed the sea the greater part of his life, making his home in the city of Philadelphia. He married Mary Morgan, of a prominent New Castle family, for whom the town of Morgans, on the line of Pennsylvania, is named, and they had three sons, John, Jeremiah and Robert Chambers Chance, all of whom are deceased. ·


(II) Robert Chambers, son of Captain John and Mary (Morgan) Chance, was born in Philadelphia, February 25, 1821, and when a child was taken by his parents to Cumberland county, New Jersey, where he was reared and educated. As a young man he taught school for a time in Leesburg, Cumberland county, New Jersey, and also spent a few years as a clerk in a mercantile establishment. In 1847 he engaged in the wholesale spice business, and in connection therewith soon after engaged in the manufacture of ketchup, being the first to en- gage in the wholesale manufacture of tomato ketchup in this country. To this he later add- ed the preparation of pickles, and dropping the spice business devoted his whole energy and capital to the ketchup and pickle business, building up a large business in which his sons joined him as they arrived at mature years, and since his death have continued to conduct under the firm name of R. C. Chance's Sons, with factory at Delanco, and later removed to Mount Holly, New Jersey ; also factory, ware- rooms and offices in Philadelphia.


Robert Chambers Chance died in Philadel- phia in 1892. He married Elizabeth Corson, born in Philadelphia, in 1825, died there. 1905, daughter of Joseph and Rebecca (Williams) Corson, of a family long prominent in Phila-


delphia and adjoining counties. They had ten children, three of whom died in infancy. The three eldest sons, Robert Chambers Chance Jr., Albert and Wilmer Chance, became associated with their father in the pickle business, and now compose the firm of R. C. Chance's Sons. G. Carow Chance, now deceased, was a dentist in Philadelphia, and Burton K. Chance, M. D., the youngest son, is a practising physician in that city. The surviving daughters are Eliza- beth G., and Emily E., married Dr. Claud Southwell.


(III) Wilmer Chance, third surviving son of Robert C. and Elizabeth (Corson) Chance, was born in Philadelphia, in 1860, and was educated in the schools of that city. After his graduation at Pierce's Business College he entered into business with his father, and has since been actively engaged in the manufacture of pickles, ketchup, mustard, and importers and packers of olives, as a member of the firm of R. C. Chance's Sons, having principal charge of the manufacturing business. From 1885 until 1891 the principal factory was located at Delanco, New Jersey, but in the latter year the firm erected at Mount Holly a factory and warerooms with an aggregate floor space of nearly twenty-five thousand square feet, and since that time the manufacturing part of the business has been located there, under the supervision of Wilmer Chance, who has since made his home in Mount Holly, of which town he is one of the most active, enterprising and public-spirited business men. In politics he is a Republican. He married, November 5, 1885, Ida Eleanor Eames, born in Philadelphia, a daughter of Sebert Lafayette and Hannah Ann (Thompson) Eames, the latter born in Phila- delphia. Mr. Eames came to Philadelphia from Sagus, Massachusetts. Mrs. Chance is a descendant in the eighth generation of Thomas Eames, who was born in England in 1618, and was one of the early Puritan settlers in Massa- chusetts. He married (first) in England, Mar- garet : (second), after his emigration, Mary Blandford, and had children: John, Mary, Thomas, Samuel. Margaret, Nathaniel, Margaret, Sarah and Lydia. His descendants have been prominently identified with public affairs for over two centuries, many of them filling high and honorable positions in prov- incial, state and national affairs.

(IV) Robert, eldest son of Aaron and Ann Eames, was born in Rutherford, Massachu- setts, in 1749, graduated at Harvard University, and located at Sagus, Massachusetts, where he was engaged in the manufacturing business. He was the inventor of a machine. The fam- ily was possessed of considerable inventive genius and patented several useful inventions. Nathan Eames, a nephew of Robert, invented the first platform elevator used in America.


(V) Robert (2), son of Robert (I) Eames, was born in Sagus, Massachusetts, February 14, 1776. He married, October 3, 1812, Mar- tha Hall, born March 17, 1783, died March 4, 1824, daughter of Moses Hall, born 1750, and his wife, Martha Spencer, born 1753, died 1792 ; granddaughter of John Hall, born 1720; great-granddaughter of John Hall, of Concord, Massachusetts ( 1690-1746), and his wife, Eliz- abeth Walker; great-great-granddaughter of John Hall, born in Medford, Massachusetts, December 12, 1667, died 1720, and his wife, Jane, born 1667, died December 12, 1712; and great-great-great-granddaughter of John Hall, born in England, 1637, died in Medford, Massa- chusetts, October 18, 1701.

He was born in Sagus, Massachusetts, 1821, and married Hannah Ann Thompson, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, February 2, 1824, died in Phila- delphia, in 1890.


Wilmer and Ida Eleanor (Eames) Chance have three children. Their eldest son, Wilmer Russell Chance, born in Delanco, New Jersey, received his early education at the schools of Mount Holly, and is now a student at the Ran- dolph-Macon Academy, Front Royal, Virginia. The second son, Robert Chambers Chance (3d), born at Mount Holly, January 3, 1892, attend- ed the public schools of his native town and the Brainerd School and is now a student at Wennonah (New Jersey) Military Academy. The youngest son, Albert Chance, was born at Mount Holly, August 12, 1902.


Michael Newbould, as he spelt NEWBOLD his name, the founder of the Newbold family in America, was born in the parish of Handsworth, York, England, July 1, 1623, and died in Burlington county, New Jersey, in 1692. Of his circum- stances we know little more than that at the time of his death there was owing to him a considerable sum of money which he had been unable to collect, and that he was probably not a Quaker, as all of his children were baptized in the parish church, the eldest at Handsworth, several of the other at Eckington, and the two youngest at Sheffield Park Gate, he having removed to the last named place in 1664, where he held the Park Lane farm as a tenant of the earl of Shaftsbury. On January 28, 1677-8, he bought from the proprietors of West Jer- sey, one-eighth of three-ninetieths of a share of the province, and between that date and September 13, 1681, he came over with his wife and nine of his eleven children. His son, John, had previously come over in the ship "Shield," in 1678, the time of his father's orig- inal purchase, but he evidently returned to England, as at the date of Michael Newbold's will both he and his brother, Samuel, were there. September 13, 1681, Michael Newbold, then in Burlington, had surveyed for him about four hundred acres, seven miles to the southeast of that town, a mile from the pres- ent village of Columbus, and two and a half miles from Jobstown. In 1685 he took up an- other tract of four hundred and fifty acres at Oneonickon, which is now bisected by the road running from Mount Holly to Freehold. This latter property he bequeathed to one of his sons, and it has continued in the uninterrupted ownership and occupancy of the Newbold fam- ily for over two centuries. Michael Newbold's life in the new world was essentially that of a yeoman or gentleman farmer. He evinced no special concern in the political happenings of his time, and little inclination for the holding of public office. This was probably owing to the fact that he was no longer a young man when he emigrated. He was, however, elected overseer of highways for the township of Mansfield, June 5, 1690. When he died about two years later, his estate was valued at £772 14s. 3d., an unusual degree of wealth for that period. The maiden name of his wife, Ann, is unknown. Children : 1. Ann, married James Nutt. 2. Alice, married Eliakim Higgins. 3. Samuel. 4. John. 5. Lettice, married John Woolston. 6. Mary, married Jodia, or Jedia, Higgins. 7. Margaret, married Daniel Wills

(II) Michael (2), son of Michael (I) and Ann Newbold, was born in county York, Eng- land, and baptized at Eckington, October 3, 1667. He died in Burlington county, New Jersey, December 1, 1721. When his father died he became possessed of the Oneonickon property, which has remained in the hands of his descendants ever since. For a number of years after coming of age he served on the traverse jury, and August 8, 1698, took his place on the bench as one of the justices for Burlington county. March 14, 1721, the at- torney-general of West Jersey declined to con- firm his election as constable for the township of Springfield, on the ground that he was "one of his Majestye's Justices of the peace of this court and also one of the officers of the militia." His last appearance on the bench was June 13, 1721. January 1, 1697, he was elected town- ship clerk, and he appears at one time to have been township assessor. He became an exten- sive landholder in various sections of the prov- ince, and at the time of his death was not only one of the most influential men of his day in Burlington county, but was also one of the largest landed proprietors in New Jersey. Like his father and brothers, he was a member of the Church of England, and one of the organ- izers of St. Ann's, afterwards St. Mary's Church, Burlington. He married, February 24, 1697, Rachel, daughter of John and Ann Cleayton, of Shrewsbury, Monmouth county, New Jersey, who was born June 16, 1677, and died shortly after April 17, 1712. Children : I. Ann, born February 19, 1698-9; died No- vember 20, 1729; married William Biddle. 2. Sarah, born September 29, 1700; married Thomas Boude. 3. Thomas, referred to below. 4. Margaret, born July 9, 1704 ; married James Bowne; her daughter, Rachel Bowne, was grandmother of Hon. Garrett Dorset Wall, and great-grandmother of Hon. James Walter Wall, both of them United States senators from New Jersey. (See Wall in index). 5. Michael, re- ferred to below. 6. John. 7. Barzillai, born November 13, 1710; died July 15, 1757 ; mar- ried, 1734, Sarah, daughter of Enoch and Sarah (Roberts) Core, who died October 17, 1784 ; his grandson, James Simpson Newbold, married Sarah Robeson Logan, great-great- granddaughter of the celebrated statesman, James Logan, mayor of Philadelphia, chief


justice, and president of the provincial council of Pennsylvania.


(III) Thomas, son of Michael (2) and Rachel (Cleayton) Newbold, was born in Springfield township, Burlington county, New Jersey, Feb- ruary 26, 1701-2, and died there, in September, 1741. He inherited from his father the home- stead farm, where he lived for some years, but in 1737 he built a substantial brick house on the south side of the road. He held various town offices, such as overseer of the highways, town commissioner, etc., and, like his father, was an extensive operator in real estate. He seems to have been a man of considerable wealth, and though not a Quaker, he was a trustee of the Chesterfield monthly meeting, and his children, their mother being a Quaker- ess, were accounted brithright Friends. He married, May 25, 1724, Edith, daughter of Marmaduke and Ann ( Pole) Coate, who was born in Somersetshire, England, November 12, ·1705, and after her husband's death married (second), 1747, as his second wife, Daniel, son of Jacob and Amy (Whitehead ) Doughty (see Doughty in index).

(IV) William, son of Thomas and Edith


(Coate) Newbold, was born in Springfield township, Burlington county, New Jersey, November 10, 1736, and died in Chesterfield township, same county, August 7, 1793. He built a brick house which was still standing in 1869, not far from his father's residence, where he spent the remainder of his life. Dur- ing the Revolution, although a Quaker, he supported the cause of the colonies, and a committee of the Chesterfield Monthly Meet- ing waited upon him and several other recal- citrants, including his son, Barzillai Newbold, and his cousin, Joseph Newbold. This com- mittee reported March 6, 1777, that he seemed to "justify" his conduct in "being concerned in military service," and another committee fail- ing "by further Christian labor to bring them to a just sense of their transgressions," they were disowned May 1, 1777.
