PRESTON Although the Preston family in this country belongs among the earliest of the colonists, there is an unfortunate lack of record concern- ing the earlier generations, and the references are too scattered as yet for a detailed genealogy of the family to be constructed. In New Jersey the earliest mentioned of the name is William Preston, of Monmouth county, who in 1760 sold land to Thomas Parker, both grantor and grantee living at that time in Freehold. There is little doubt that this William Preston is the ancestor of the founder of the line at present under consideration, but there seems to be no record as yet come to light which will deter- mine who his ancestors were.
(I) Samuel Preston, born in the Dey neigh- borhood, Monmouth county, about 1775, lived at Manalapan. He was apparently twice mar- ried ; (first) June 19, 1803, by Daniel Stout, of Goodluck, to Anna Clayton, and ( second) to Rachael -- Children: Samuel Jr., referred to below ; William ; Curlis, or Corlies ; Joseph ; Katharine.
(II) Samuel Jr., son of Samuel Preston, of Manalapan, was born there about 1807, and died in 1847. After receiving a common school education he learned the trade of carpenter, at which he worked all of his life. He was a Democrat, and although he objected to and did not hold office, he was nevertheless one of the staunch supporters of his party. He married Lucy Ann Dey, born about 1811, and died in March, 1882. Children : Allison Ely, referred to below ; Jacob, now dead; Hannah, born about 1841, now living in Freehold, New Jer- sey, married Mulford Longstreet, who is de- ceased.
(III) Allison Ely, child of Samuel and Lucy Ann (Dey) Preston, was born in Manalapan, Monmouth county, New Jersey, 1835. After receiving a common school education he learn- ed the trade of mason and builder, at which he worked steadily until 1903, when he retired

from active business. Coming to Freehold in 1850, he set up in his trade as mason and builder and very soon began to do a thriving business. His industry and application and the reputation which he rapidly built up for honest, integrity and good work, soon gave him a foremost place among the men of his business and in the community, and he was called upon for the stone work of many of the most important buildings in that part of the country. Eight years after his arrival at Free- hold he built the magnificent residence in which lie now lives, and in 1877, when the Monmouth Battle Monument Association was formed, he was selected to build the foundation base of that monument, which stands alike as a me- morial not only to the historic event which it commemorates but also the honesty, integrity and worth of the man who built the foundation. Like his father, Mr. Preston has always been a staunch Democrat and has done good work for his party, although he has preferred not to receive or to hold office. He is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and of the Knights of Pythias in Freehold. In 1856, Allison Ely Preston married (first ) Han- nah Van Cleef, and on her death, without issue, he married (second) Julia, daughter of Ben- jamin Denise, by whom he had children, all born in Freehold. I. Francis, a file setter, in Brooklyn, New York; is married, and has George and William. 2. Charles, a mason and builder, living at Red Bank, New Jersey ; mar- ried and has one child Russell. 3. John, also a mason, living at Red Bank, and unmarried. 4. William, died at the age of twenty years.
FARRAND Nathaniel Farrand, the first member of the family of whom we have definite in- formation, is recorded as being in Milford, Connecticut, in 1645. So far as is known he had three children: Nathaniel Jr., referred to below ; Hannah, married, 1674, Thomas Thorn- ton, of Hartford ; Elizabeth, married, 1676, Walter Smith, of Milford.
(II) Nathaniel (2), son of Nathaniel (I), was born about 1650 or 1660. He lived in Mil- ford, and left three sons of record: Nathaniel, born May 15, 1679 ; Samuel, referred to below ; Daniel, born July 2, 1683.
(III) Samuel, son of Nathaniel (2) Far- rand, and "stepson" of Joseph and Dorcas Wheeler; was born in Milford, about April, 1681, and died in Newark, New Jersey, Sep- tember 16, 1750. In 17II he purchased from John Medlis, for £85 current money of New
York, one-half of the house-lot of Samuel Plum. In 1739 he was one of the judges of the pleas and justices of the quoroum for Essex county, and in the following year was appoint- ed one of the judges of the Essex county courts. He married Hannah - --- , who died October 18, 1748, in her sixty-third year. From the confusion in the 11se of the terms "son-in- law" and "stepson," it has been conjectured that she was Hannah Wheeler, daughter of Jo- seph and Dorcas. Children : I. Daniel, born 1726, died March 7, 1764, married Margaret , who afterwards married Elijah Hedden. 2. Samuel, died 1760 or 1763. 3. Moses, referred to below. 4. Ebenezer, born about 1700, died January 22, 1777. 5. Nathaniel, married Mary . 6. Joseph, died August 8, 1760, aged forty-one years; married and left issue. 7. Sarah. 8. Phebe. 9. Elizabeth. 10. Hannah.
(IV) Moses, son of Samuel and Hannah Farrand, was born in Newark, New Jersey, about 1728, and died in Bloomfield, September 19, 1805, aged seventy-seven years. He mar- ried (first) Ann -, who died January 19, 1785, in her fifty-seventh year, and (second) Dorcas, daughter of Obediah and Dorcas Bruen, who was born August 28, 1741, and died in 1821. Children: Samuel, died Sep- tember 16, 1758, aged four years one month ; Abigail, married Joseph Davis ; Phebe, married Dr. Mead ; Samuel, referred to below ; Joseph.
(V) Samuel, son of Moses and Ann Far- rand, was born July 25, 1759, and died De- cember 26, 1826. His wife Sarah (possibly his second wife) died July 18, 1844, aged sev- enty-four years six months nineteen days. They are both buried in Bloomfield. Children : Charles, referred to below ; Moses; Joseph ; Hermon; Samuel; Sarah Ann; Moses An- druss, died August 6, 1793, aged one year six months nineteen days.
(VI) Charles, son of Samuel and Sarah Farrand, was born in Bloomfield, New Jer- sey, in July 1799, and died in June, 1874. He married Anna, daughter of Henry D. Farrand, who was born in Morris county, New Jersey, in 1823, and died in 1901. Her father's mother was Rhoda Farrand. Children : Charles H .; Stanford; Herbert C .; William S .; Ida J .; Walter D .; Edward C .; Anna B .; Dudley, re- ferred to below.
(VII) Dudley, son of Charles and Anna (Farrand) Farrand, was born in Bloomfield, Essex county, New Jersey, February 21, 1869, and is now living in Newark, New Jersey. After attending the public schools of Bloom- field he prepared for college in the Newark

Academy, and then entered Princeton Univer- sity, which he left without completing the course. While attending school he worked during the summer months of 1885 and 1886 with the hardware firm of Peter Hayden, of Newark, and in 1887 accepted a clerkship with the Newark Electric Light and Power Com- pany, which was succeeded by various corpora- tions and is now the Public Service Corpora- tion of New Jersey, of which he is the general manager. Since then he has been engaged in the business of electrical engineering, and in' his twenty-four years of service he has filled every position in the electrical department, besides acting as consulting engineer for a number of large electrical plants, and he has gained for himself a high reputation as one of the best electrical engineers and experts in this part of the country. He is a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and of the American Society of Mechanical Engi- neers. He is also a past president of the Na- tional Electric Light Association, and has occu- pied all the various offices in that organization, having been a member of the executive com- mittee for twelve years. He also belongs to several important local organizations, includ- ing the Engineers Club of New York, the Essex Club of Newark, the Essex County Country Club, the Rumson Country Club of Rumson, New Jersey, and Red Bank Yacht Club. For six years he served as a member of the First ( Essex) Troop, National Guard of New Jersey, retiring in 1898. In politics he is a Republican, and from religious convic- tion a member of the South Park Presbyterian Church. Mr. Farrand married, in 1899, Jane Champenois. Children: Dudley Champenois, died in infancy ; Louise, died at age of two and one-half years ; Laura Jean, born 1907.
The family is said to be
FITZ-GERALD of Italian origin- a branch of the Gherar- dini, a very ancient family of Tuscany. The founder of the English branch seems to have been Gerald of Windsor. He came to Eng- land from Normandy in the time of Edward the Confessor, and held high posts and large estates. About a century after the Norman conquest a descendant, Maurice Fitz-Gerald, was one of the principal leaders in the invasion of Ireland, received large grants of land and founded the Irish branch of the family, of which the Duke of Leinster is the head.
The etymology of the patronymic is simply the old Norman "fitz" (fils, son) plus the iii-39
name of the progenitor, Gerald. e. g: Mau- rice Fitz (son of) Gerald.
Arms : Ermine, a saltire gules. Supporters : Two griffins, collared and chained or. Crest : A boar gules, bristled and armed or. For Glyn : A second crest. A castle with two towers. Issu- ant out of the sinister tower a knight in armor, holding in his dexter hand a key, all proper.
(I) John Fitz-Gerald, of Kells-the-Four- Castles, county Kilkenny, or of Tralee, county Kerry, Ireland (the location is not entirely clear. One account fixes it at Kells, near the town of Callan, and another places it at Tra- lee ; it is possible, however, that both may be correct, and that John migrated from one to the other). He was a near relative of the then Knight of Glyn. He married Margaret Clare. Children: 1. John, married a lady of the Casses, and went to the south of Ireland. 2. Anastasia, married Major Saxe, or Sykes, of the British army, came with him to New York during the revolutionary war, and was never afterward heard from. 3. Mary, married Gabriel Vass, in spite of the opposition of her family, who were greatly scandalized thereby," considering that she had lowered herself by the connection ; she was mother of Alexander Vass, who came to New York, where he lived with his daughter (Eleanor Vass Garrison) till the time of his death. 4. William, men- tioned below. 5. James.
(II) William Fitz-Gerald, second son of John Fitz-Gerald, was born in Ireland, in 1729, and died in Orange county, New York, 1813, aged 84. He became involved in the political troubles of the times, was several times prose- cuted for his connection therewith, and, although he escaped conviction through the influence of powerful friends, (particularly one Mr. Flood, a wealthy and influential gen- tleman of the neighborhood, who had a great friendship for him) he thought it wise, in order to avoid further annoyance, to leave the country for a time. He accordingly came to America with the intention of returning in a year or two, after the trouble had blown over. It fell out quite otherwise, however, for he married Hannah Driscoll and settled on a large farm in the township of Warwick, Orange county, New York. He was promi- nent in the affairs of his town and held town office between 1765 and 1775. His homestead was in Dutch Hollow, near the township line of Warwick.1

Excerpts from letters written by John Fitz- Gerald (son of Charles Fitz-Gerald, of Mon- roe, Orange county, New York, to A. O. Fitz- Gerald :
May 10, 1908.
"You say that William Fitz-Gerald, the first of the family, came to this country about 1760. I am under the impression that he was here earlier. . He became an extensive landholder in this section. Some six hundred acres which he once owned are still in the family and occupied by me. The last resting place of the older Fitz-Gerald is on this property. . Our great-grandfather was born in the town of Tralee, county Kerry, connected with
the Leinster family of Fitz-Geralds. . . As a matter of history I may tell you that in his first attempt to emigrate to this country he, in company with James, his brother, was captured by an Eng- lish vessel and taken back. The brother died in Dublin Castle, but William escaped."
Jan. 30, 1909.
"I find that our great-grandfather was at the Sterling Iron Works in 1751 in partnership with the Townshends, and assisted in building the first fur- nace at that place, which can yet be seen as a remembrance of the olden times. There is no doubt about his assisting in building the furnace at Sterling and that it was built in 1751. . . He was 1st. Lieut. in a military company raised in that place. This Company belonged to Col. Hathron's Regt. and he and Philip Burrowes were all that was left of the company after Brandt's massacre at Min- isink."
