In 1780 he emigrated from Scotland to Nova Scotia, where he lived for a number of years, and then finding that he could find a home more suited to his tastes in Troy, New York, he finally settled there some time after the birth of his son William, referred to below.
(II) William Rankin, Jr., son of William Rankin, the emigrant, was born in Shelbourne, Nova Scotia, in December, 1785, and died in Newark, New Jersey, December 14, 1869.

Here he found his wife, and until after his first child was born he lived on his father-in-law's farm. Removing once more to Newark, he began the manufacture of hats, his partners being John Ogden and Peter S. Duryee, the former being his brother-in-law, and the latter his son-in-law.

BYRNES The late Judge Richards Jay Byrnes aided materially in the development, upbuilding and substantial progress of Hammonton, New Jer- sey. The story of his life was interwoven with that of Hammonton, and the impress of his strong individuality was ineffably stamped upon it. His life was active, and his enter- prises were such as added to the general wealth and welfare of the city. He exerted a great influence on the affairs of his adopted city, and his work, which was widely extended, is felt and recognized although he has crossed the confines of time and eternity.
Richards Jay Byrnes was born in Philadel- phia, Pennsylvania, February 22, 1830, died in Hammonton, Atlantic county, New Jersey, Oc- tober 15, 1909. He attended the grammar schools of his native place, but at the early age of ten years entered the office of the Pennsylvania Freeman, a publishing house in Curtis Alley, conducted by Messrs. Merrihew & Thompson. At that early age he assisted in reading proof on poems and newspaper articles written by the famous author, John Greenleaf Whittier. Later he attended the St. Augustine schools in order to be prepared for the priesthood of the Roman Catholic church, but owing to the persuasions of his mother the design was abandoned, and after he had graduated from the Philadelphia high school, at the age of sixteen years, he began the study of law. For two years after this he was employed in a silk importing house, and he then secured a position in the Mechanics'
Bank of Philadelphia, and while in that insti- tution served as individual and general book- keeper, as discount clerk and teller, winning promotion to the last-named position within six years, a fact which amply testified to his faithfulness and loyalty. Upon severing his con- nection with the bank, in 1857, he entered into partnership with Charles K. Landis in the real estate business, and also became a stock and note broker of Philadelphia. His place of business was located on Walnut street, Phila- delphia. Large tracts of uncultivated land in New Jersey were placed in their hands for sale, and in 1858 Mr. Byrnes removed to this tract with the idea of developing the same into farms. He named the place Hammonton. The following year Mr. Landis withdrew his inter- est from the business and afterward developed the territory at Vineland, New Jersey, and the surrounding district. Mr. Byrnes continued his operations at Hammonton, and by inde- fatigable work and enterprise he induced set- tlers to locate in his neighborhood, thus lay- ing the foundation of his life's achievement- that of converting into profitable farms the wild and undeveloped land of Atlantic county, building up a neighborhood of honest and in- dustrious people, and establishing what has become one of the most important towns in that part of the state. For this result he labor- ed long and earnestly, and the residents of the section are reaping the reward of his labor. For many years he was the prime factor and leading spirit in every movement that tended to develop and improve the section in which he was interested. In 1870,/on the organiza- tion of the Hammonton Building and Loan . Association, he was made the president, in which capacity he served for many years. He was also president of the People's Bank of Hammonton, which he was instrumental in organizing, and held that position up to the time of his death. He was the secretary of the Hammonton Cranberry and Improvement Association, and was one of the founders of the Hammonton Electric Light Company. His business interests were varied and extensive, yet under his able control they were success- fully carried forward. On March 1, 1879, he was appointed by Governor Beadle to the posi- tion of judge of the court of common pleas of Atlantic county, and by three consecutive appointments he was continued in that office for the long period of twenty years. At the outbreak of the civil war he was instrumental in forming a company of cavalry which, how- ever, his real estate interests prevented his

joining at the time. He served as master of Hammonton Grange, Patrons of Husbandry.
Judge Byrnes was tall and dignified in ap- pearance, upright in character, of genial dis- position, of unusual personality, loved and re- spected by all who knew him. He displayed keen discrimination in dealing with his fellow- men, and for many years prior to his death occupied an eminent place as a leader of com- mercial interests. His reputation was unassail- able, and in all his actions he ever manifested the most marked loyalty to the principles of « justice and integrity. He was well known throughout the state of New Jersey, but more especially in the section which he developed and improved, and his death caused genuine grief among a wide circle of friends.
Judge Byrnes married, in Newburyport, Massachusetts, in 1869, Fanny Gardner, a native of Boston, Massachusetts, daughter of Michael Gardner Atkinson. She died in Ham- monton, New Jersey, January, 1901. He mar- ried (second) December, 1902, Lily F. W., daughter of Albert B. White, of Washington, D. C.
Peter Bentley Sr., one of the BENTLEY founders of Jersey City, who during a long and active per- sonal career attained to eminence as one of the most successful lawyers of his time, was born in the village of Half-Moon, Saratoga county, New York, in 1805. His parents were Chris- topher and Eleanor ( Althouse) Bentley. On the paternal side he was of English origin, while on the maternal side he was descended from early Dutch families of New York City.
His early life was devoted to farming and attending the county schools, the common school system of his day offering but few op- portunities. In 1825, when twenty years of age, he started out to make for himself a name and place in the world. He removed from New York to Jersey City, New Jersey, and learned the occupation of a printer in the printing house of Yates & McIntyre, which he followed for a few years, earning and sav- ing sufficient money to enable him to take up the study of law, which profession had always been attractive to him from his earliest boy- hood. In 1830 he entered the law office of Samuel Cassidy Esq., then one of the fore- most attorneys of eastern and northern New Jersey, and was licensed as an attorney at the May term, 1834, and took his counsellor's license at the September term, 1839. He open- ed an office in Jersey City and practiced there
for forty-one years, his service being in great demand, and he soon secured a large and profit- able clientele. Some of the litigation with which he was connected was celebrated in its day and of far-reaching importance. In 1842 he was engaged in the celebrated case of the selectman of Jersey City vs. Dummer, in which the doctrine of dedication of maps was decid- ed. In this case he was the attorney for the selectmen of Jersey City. One of the most notable legal contests in which he was ever engaged and which was undoubtedly one of the most notable legal contests in the state of New Jersey, was that in which Mrs. Bell made claim to a tract of land under water, a title to which had descended to her and had also been reaffirmed by a special grant from the New Jersey legislature. The same submerged lands were claimed by another person on the ground that as he owned uncontested title to the bord- ering shore property, the projection of that property under water belonged to him of right, and he proceeded to assert his claim by con- structing a pier. This case, begun in 1843, was in the courts for nearly a quarter of a century. Mr. Bentley was attorney for Mrs. Bell, and in the end achieved a substantial victory in securing the maintenance of her claim. Subsequently he had the administra- tion of Mrs. Bell's riparian lands in contro- versy in this litigation, and disposed of them to the great advantage of his client, and they now form a portion of the valuable railway terminals of Jersey City.
