He came to Newark in 1828, where he learned the hatting trade with William Rankin. After following his trade for a time he entered the employ of D. Price & Fitz-Gerald, manufac- turers of varnishes. David Maurice Fitz- Gerald, who was a partner, was his brother. After a time he was admitted to partnership. In 1854 David M. died and John D. remained in partnership with Mr. Price until he (Mr. Price) retired in 1867, when he continued the business under his own name. Mr. Fitz- Gerald later admitted his son, Aaron Ogden Fitz-Gerald, to partnership, and the firm name was changed to Fitz-Gerald & Company. He continued the active head of the business until his death in 1892. He was one of the original members of the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, and served on the official board. In politics he was formerly a Whig, but became a Republican on the organization of that party. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity.

It was about 1732 that several families came to Long Hill (Bernard, New Jersey) to settle, among whom was Aaron Boylan. He later settled at Liberty Corner. This was also called Annin's Corner, from the Annin family who settled there, and later Boylan's Corner.
(I) Aaron Boylan, of Liberty Corner, Som- erset county, New Jersey, was of those Scotch- Irish who settled in Derry, Londonderry, etc., in New Hampshire, and in Cherry Valley, New York. He married Catherine Parkinson, and by her had three sons: I. James Boylan (men- tion later as II.). 2. John (born 1746, died I793, at Bernard, New Jersey). 3. Aaron (born 1749, died 1824).

Somerset county judges. He carried on an ex- tensive mercantile business, having, besides his Pluckamin store, stores at Liberty Corner and Vealtown, and operating at the same time a large granary and an extensive potash manu- factory.
(II) James Boylan, M. D., was born Au- gust 14, 1743 (old style), and died May 19, 1823. He lived at Vealtown, now Bernards- ville, 1777. "At two O'clock Lord Sterling wrote from Basking Ridge to Gen. Lincoln, 'I have ordered Dr. Barnet and Dr. Boylan at Boylan's Tavern to care for any wounded men you may send there.' ""5
According to the records in the office of the Adjutant General of New Jersey, James Boy- lan, M. D., served as a private, minute-man, in the Somerset county, New Jersey militia ; also as a private in Captain Jacob Ten Eyck's com- pany, First Battalion, Somerset county, New Jersey militia ; promoted corporal thereof dur- ing the revolutionary war."
"Lord Sterling and Capt. John Parker were the original proprietors of the soil in this vicin- ity." * * Considerable of this tract was subsequently bought by Dr. James Boylan, an old and distinguished physician, who practiced many years in the place during the early part of the present century ( 1800). He had a num- ber of sons and one daughter, Catherine, who died in 1863, leaving her property to Margaret Cole, wife of Charles Quimby.
Dr. Boylan was a freeholder of the county of Somerset in 1790. He married Anna Dun- lop, who was born January 17, 1746 (old style), and died January 9, 1831. Dr. James Boylan and his wife were buried in the grave- yard of the Presbyterian church at Basking Ridge. Anna Dunlop was the daughter of the Rev. Samuel Dunlop and his wife, Elizabeth Guest, of Cherry Valley. Elizabeth Guest is said to have been born in Colraine, Ireland.
Rev. Samuel Dunlop," father of Anna (Dun- lop) Boylan, migrated from Londonderry, New Hampshire, in 1741, with a party of Scotch- Irish who brought hither to Cherry Valley. New York, their scanty goods and settled. Samuel Dunlop was a graduate of Trinity Col- lege, Dublin, Ireland, and was a gentleman learned in classics, as well as in modern litera-

ture. It is told that when Mr. Dunlop left Ireland he was engaged to a charming young lady conditionally on his returning to claim her as his wife within seven years. When the time was nearly up he made the long journey from Cherry Valley, New York, to Ireland to bring her to his frontier home. His fiancee had, however, given up all hope of ever hear- ing from him again and was to be married on the day following his arrival. She, however, welcomed him with open arms, married him, and with him sought a new home in the west- ern wilds. It is said she was a native of Col- raine, Ireland, in the extreme north.
After the name of its founder, Cherry Val- ley had originally been called "Lindesays Bush," a name doubtless too homely to suit the refined ideas of the Rev. Mr. Dunlop, for in the year following his arrival it was, at his suggestion, rechristened "Cherry Valley," the new name being derived from the fact that wild cherries were abundant in the valley. The reputation of the Rev. Mr. Dunlop's primitive but thorough school had, however, extended and a number of the leading settlers along the Mohawk were accustomed to send their sons to him for instruction. They lived with him and formed a little boarding school.
The Rev. Samuel Dunlop and his wife were sufferers in the Cherry Valley massacre under Brant and Butler. His homestead was on the road to the west leading to Springfield, at the foot of "Livingston's Glen," where in later years Mrs. A. B. Cox owned. The home of this venerable and beloved minister of the settlement was attacked. His life was spared through the influence of Little Aaron, an In- dian chief, who had attended Mr. Wheelock's school in Lebanon. Mrs. Dunlop was killed and mutilated in his presence. He was taken prisoner but was not retained. With a daugh- ter he went to New Jersey, where he died the following year, 1779 (the massacre having oc- curred November II, 1778), having never re- covered from the effects of the awful scenes through which he passed at the massacre, forty- eight having been killed, sixteen of whom were the soldiers. A tablet to his memory was recent- ly placed in the Presbyterian church at Cherry Valley. There is also a monument, erected a few years ago by the public, in the village churchyard.
Dr. James Boylan and Anna Dunlop had issue: I. Samuel (born 1768). 2. Robert (born 1769). 3. John (born 1771, died 1843). 4. Aaron (born 1774, died 1858), mentioned below as III. 5. Henry (born 1775, died 1782).

He studied law at Elizabeth, New Jersey, in the office of Aaron Ogden, who was later a justice of the supreme court (New Jersey ), governor of the state, and United States senator. In the September term of 1797, at Trenton, Aaron Boylan was admitted to the bar. He practiced in Somerset county until 1825, when he removed to Newark, where he continued his practice. His three sons ( Aaron Ogden, David Kirkpatrick and James Harris) were also admitted to the bar and practiced in Newark.
