In 1862 he came to Long Branch, and was appointed under sheriff, serving under his father from 1862 to 1865, and during the term of Sheriff Sutphen, 1866-67, acted as deputy sheriff. In company with Bloomfield Drummond, Mr. Woolley engaged in the lum- ber business under the firm name of Bloom- field Drummond & Company, and this firm with some minor changes continued a prosper- ous existence for thirty-five years, when Mr. Drummond died, and Mr. Woolley not caring to sell it to any one, gradually closed it out. Mr. Woolley is emphatically a Democrat, being one of the most influential men of his party in the county. For one year he was superintend- ent of schools for Ocean township; for thirty years he was a member of the township com- mittee for Ocean township, having held every office on the committee; for four years was a chosen freeholder ; for two terms, from 1877 to 1884, was a member of the Long Branch commission ; for seven years served as mayor of Long Branch ; for seven years prior to 1906 served as town collector, and since 1906 has been serving as city comptroller, being re-elect- ed to succeed himself by the unanimous vote of both parties.

John R. Hardin, one of the HARDIN ablest and most prominent mem- bers of the Essex county bar, and a man who has figured with distinction in the legislature of his state, was born in Green township, Sussex county, New Jersey, April 24, 1860. He traces his descent from old and respected lineage. After completing his pre- paratory education he entered Princeton Uni- versity, graduating in the class of 1880. Hav- ing decided upon the profession of law as the career best suited to his inclinations and nat- ural tastes, he became a student in the office of McCarter & Keen, at Newark, in June, 1881. He was admitted to the bar of New Jersey as an attorney in June, 1884, and as a counsellor at law in June, 1887. Since 1884 he has prac- ticed his calling in Newark with pronounced sticcess, achieving an enviable standing as a thoroughly qualified practitioner of recognized skill and high quality. He is a member of the firm of Pitney, Hardin & Skinner, one of the large law firms of Newark.
He has been identified with much important litigation and is general counsel for a number of the leading merchants, firms and corporate interests in his section. He was attorney for
1558
STATE OF NEW JERSEY.
the Newark Board of Health from April, 1887, to February, 1890, in which capacity he served with noteworthy credit. He represented the Fifteenth Ward of Newark in the board of aldermen from February, 1890, to January, 1892, during which official period he proved a faithful representative of his ward and city, his record being in every way commendable. He served in the state assembly from the Sixth district of Essex county in 1891-92, and in that body was chairman of the committees on judi- ciary, passed bills and federal relations, and a member of the committee on ways and means, and others. As a legislator he acquitted him- self in a manner that won him the approval of his constituents and the public generally. He was always found ready to advocate a measure that tended to serve the general welfare, and his services as a member of the legislature added materially to his repute and prestige. He has served as a member of the board of managers of the New Jersey Epileptic Village, and is one of the commissioners appointed by the governor of the state to secure uniformity of legislation, and was a member of the com- mission to report judiciary amendments to the constitution of the state, appointed in this instance by the governor under authority of the legislature in 1907. He is a member and treasurer of the Essex County Park Commis- sion under appointment of Chief Justice Gum- mere. He is also a member and president of the Newark Sinking Fund Commission. The social organizations to which he belongs are the Essex Club and the North End Club of New- ark, the Essex County Country Club and the Baltusrol Golf Club. He is also a director of the Essex County National Bank, and of the Mutual Life Insurance Company. Appoint- ments to the judiciary have been tendered to him, but he has constantly declined that pre- ferment, choosing rather to work at the bar. He has not lately been active in politics, but in 1904 and 1908 was a delegate to the Demo- cratic national conventions.
He married, February 1, 1894, Jennie Jo- sephine Roe, daughter of the late Charles Roe, of Newton, New Jersey, and has two sons and one daughter-Charles Roe Hardin, Elizabeth A. Hardin, and John Ralph Hardin, Jr.
There are at least three Baker BAKER families which have risen to prominence in the state of New Jersey. One of these comprises the descend- ants of Jacob Backer, of Amsterdam, Hol-
land; a second is that of Captain John Baker ; and a third, the one at present under consider- ation, that of Thomas Baker, of East Hamp- ton, Long Island.
(I) Thomas Baker came from England in 1639, and was one of the earliest settlers of Easthampton, where his name is found on the record as early as 1649. He was one of the first magistrates in Long Island. In 1657 he was elected to go with Lieutenant Lyon Gardi- ner and John Hand to Hartford to form an alliance with the Connecticut colony, and his name appears on the charter granted to the town in 1686. He and John Straton repre- sented Easthampton at the meeting of Long Island deputies at Hempstead, March 1, 1664, and he was there made one of a committee of five to examine into the bounds of the towns on Long Island. June 20, 1643, he married Alice, daughter of Ralph Dayton; she was born about 1620, died February 4, 1708, sur- viving a husband who died April 30, 1700, nearly eight years. Children : Hannah ; Thomas; Nathaniel, referred to below ; Abi- gail.
(II) Nathaniel, third child and second son of Thomas and Alice (Dayton) Baker, was born in Easthampton, Long Island, December 22, 1655, and died February 27, 1738. He lived at Easthampton, and it is believed that his wife Catherine was the daughter of Jacob Schellenger. Children: Jonathan; Johanna ; Abigail; Henry; Catherine; Mary; Daniel, referred to below ; Hannah.
(III) Daniel, seventh child and third son of Nathaniel and Catherine Baker, was born in Easthampton, Long Island, August 21, 1692, and died there in 1740. He lived all his life in Easthampton, but seems to have possessed property elsewhere, as in his will he leaves to his sons Nathaniel and Henry two tracts of land in New Jersey. September 7, 1714, he married Abigail Osborn. Children: Daniel ; Nathaniel; Elizabeth; Catherine; Henry, re- ferred to below ; Abraham ; Abigail.
(IV) Henry, fifth child and third son of Daniel and Abigail (Osborn) Baker, was born at Easthampton, Long Island, about 1727, and died in Westfield, New Jersey, May 13, 1780. He inherited a tract of land in Westfield next to his brother's plantation there, and settled on it, his farm being near Westfield church, of which he and his wife were members. About 1750 he married Phebe Hedges, who survived him and married (second) February 5, 1784, William Pierson Sr. She died August 9, 1713,

aged eighty-four years; both Henry Baker and his wife are buried at Westfield. Chil- dren : Phoebe; Daniel; Henry; William: Phebe (2nd) ; William (2nd) ; Jonathan ; David: Temperance; Jeremiah, referred to below ; Hedges.
