Mr. Conover has remarkable literary ability. During his student days he was a contributor to the "Nassau Lit," one of the journals of the university, and took a high class grade in literary work and original declamation. Throughout his life, he has passed many leis- ure hours with his pen in the production of both prose and poetry, and his verses have fre- quently adorned the columns of city as well as local publications. With a really poetical temperament he possesses a splendid command of language and in alliterative verse his powers are phenomenal. Perhaps no better example of his sunny and philosophical disposition can be given than his verses on "Equanimity."
September 10, 1878, John Barriclo Conover, Esquire, married Laura Helena, the only daughter of the late Professor Amos Richard- son, a graduate of Dartmouth College, and, though totally blind for most of that time, for thirty-seven years the scholarly and beloved principal of the Freehold Young Ladies' Semi- nary, whence his daughter was graduated in 1871. Inheriting her father's disposition and tastes and being educated by him, she mani- fested, at an early age, a great talent for music and art. The former, she studied under S. B. Mills and William Mason, technique under the first and expression under the last, and from each she received the highest testimonials, and upon the completion of her studies, the unusual compliment of a benefit concert, Dr. Mason pronouncing her his most talented
woman pupil. In the practice of her art, Mrs. Conover has rendered inestimable service to the people of Freehold. She has taught in the Young Ladies' Seminary there, also in the local school and Military Academy, at her home studio and in the Woman's Annex to Princeton University while it was in existence as Evelyn College. She has also given ex- cellent renditions upon the concert platform, and for more than thirty-eight years, been the able and acceptable organist of the Freehold Presbyterian church. In 1883 she organized and has several terms been president of the Freehold Cecilian Club, one of the oldest and most enterprising of like women's societies in this country, and now an influential member of the National Federation of Musical Clubs. Her present specialty is as solo and choral piano-accompanist, in which rather rare ac- complishment she admittedly excels, according to the express consensus of musical experts.
The first person bearing the STOCKTON Stockton name to come to this country was Rev. Jonas Stockton, M. A., who with his son Timothy, then aged fourteen years, came to Virginia in the ship "Bona Nova," in 1620. He was for many years incumbent of the parishes of Eliz- abeth City and Bermuda Hundred, and be- came the founder of a numerous family of descendants, many of whom have become dis- tinguished. His cousin Prudence, daughter of Rev. John Stockton, rector of Alchester and Kingholt, married, June 18, 1612, Edward Holyoke, of Tamworth, later of Lynn, Mass- achusetts, and became the foundress of the Holyoke family in America. The next Stock- ton to emigrate was, according to Hotten's "Lists," Thomas Stockton, "aged twenty-one," who sailed from London for Boston in the ship "True Love," September 16, 1635. Of him nothing more is known. Finally, Rich- ard Stockton, the founder of the family at present under consideration, is found in Charleston, Massachusetts, as early as 1639, where he is witness to a deed. The next refer- ence to him is among the original patentees, named in the charter of the town of Flushing, Long Island, where he appears to have been a prominent man, being rated among the rather well-to-do citizens of the place, taking a prom- inent part in the controversies between the town and Governor Peter Stuyvesant on relig- ious matters, holding the lieutenancy of the Horse Guards of Flushing, and declining with the consent of Governor Niccolls, an election

to the same position in the Foot Guards. Be- tween 1670 and 1680 he became converted to the tenets of the Society of Friends, and, selling his Long Island property, he removed to Springfield township, Burlington county, New Jersey, where he purchased twelve hun- dred acres of land from George Hutchinson, where he lived until his death, between Janu- ary 25, 1705-6, and October 10, 1707, the dates of the executing and the filing of his will. He married Abigail who survived him, being alive April 14, 1714, and who, there is some reason to suppose, may have been his second wife. Children, all probably born in New England or Long Island: Richard, John, Job, Abigail, Mary, Sarah, Hannah and Eliza- beth, all referred to below.

His father took him with him to Springfield township, Burlington coun- ty, New Jersey, where he remained until after his marriage, when he removed to Piscataway. Later he bought the famous fifty-five hundred acres on which the town and university of Princeton now stand, making his residence on a part of it. In 1705 he was commissioned by Lord Cornbury, ensign of the militia company of Springfield and Northampton townships, under Captain Richard Ellison, and in June, 1709, he became one of the trustees of the Stony Brook Friends' meetinghouse. He mar- ried, at Chesterfield monthly meeting, Novem- ber 8, 1691, Susanna, daughter of Robert and Ann Witham, of Whitby, Yorkshire, England, and widow of Thomas Robinson, of Cross- wicks, who was born in Whitby, November 29, 1668, and died April 30, 1749.

ation, and at one time its first vice-president ; is also a member of the American Medical Soci- ety, the Odontological Society of New York City, the Stomatological Society, and the First District Society of New York, where he is a frequent attendant and generally a partaker in the discussion of the papers presented.

Stockton's resolution before the National Board of Examiners) should prevail in all the states. Dr. Stockton was tendered a compli- mentary dinner in 1903 in New York City, at which were present two hundred and fifty of his friends, being one of the largest gatherings of the kind ever held, prominent men from all parts of the country being present. In the various complimentary dinners since then given to prominent men, Dr. Stockton has been one of the principal speakers. He is regarded as one of the best known and best loved men in the profession of dentistry. He is a member of the Washington Headquarters Association and one of its governors for six years. His prominence and usefulness were recognized in the profession by his selection as one of the fifteen prominent dentists of the country to organize and bring into successful existence the World's Columbian Congress, of which he was one of the vice-presidents. He has written and spoken in the interests of his profession, and his name is known wherever dentistry is practiced. He is a member of the Essex Coun- ty Country Club, the Republican Club of East Orange, the Orange Club. Dr. Stockton has always taken an interest in affairs. In the Board of Trade of Newark he has always taken a deep interest and served it as vice-president and director, and from small beginnings it has grown to be one of the great institutions of the city. He was the first to move in the interests of the magnificent Free Library. He has been sought to become mayor of the city of his resi- dence, but steadily refused to take office, but has actively engaged in the political fights from time to time, always for the right, as he be- lieved, and generally for the Republican party. He has enjoyed personal acquaintance and friendship of all the prominent public men of the state. He has presided at many of the con- ventions and has been a frequent speaker on the stump. He has frequently been called on to make addresses before colleges and semi- naries, some of his most prominent ones being "Great Believers," an address that Rev. Dr. Theodore Cuyler said should be in the hands of every young man in America. His address at Pennington Seminary, on "Right Thinking and Good Living," recently attracted attention as being a remarkable address.
