He began the gen- eral practice of medicine in partnership with Dr. Ridge, of Camden, New Jersey, and in 1894 opened an office and gave his entire prac- tice to diseases of the ear, nose and throat, on which he became a recognized authority. He was an indefatigable student of the classics, philosophy and physical science, and his orig- inal research work resulted in many new scien- tific discoveries. He also invented mechanical appliances for the better manipulation of the organs of which he was a specialist which proved of great value in diphtheria and other diseases of the throat. He was made a mem- ber of the American Medical Association, the New Jersey State Medical Society, the Camden County Medical Society, and the Camden City Medical Society, and kept in touch with his alma mater by membership in the General Alumni Society of the Medical Department of the University.

The Neilson family of New NEILSON Jersey is originally of Scotch origin, although the founders of the family came to this country from Ire- land. These founders were James Neilson, who is believed to have arrived in Perth Am- boy in 1716, and his brother, John Neilson, a doctor, who married Miss Coejeman of Rari- tan, New Jersey, in March, 1741. William Neilson, son of another brother, and founder of the New York branch of the family, arrived in that city about 1753. James Neilson was in New Brunswick before 1730, as he was one of the patentees for the charter obtained December 30, 1730, and letters for Somerset county were left at his house, the nearest post office being at Perth Amboy. He was a part- ner of Richard Gibb in the shipping and mer- cantile business in 1756, and was one of the first trustees of Princeton College; alderman in New Brunswick, 1748; and a judge of the court of common pleas, 1749, and again in 1768 and 1770. He was also a member of the revolutionary committee of correspondence. He bought what is now the old Carpender homestead, in 1770, and the mill property, and the pond and water rights at Westons, in 1772. He left no children, but adopted his
brother's son John as his own, and left him his heir by his will. The New Jersey Gazette, vol. VI, No. 273, March 19, 1783, contains the following obituary :
"New Brunswick, March 12, 1783. On Tuesday the 4th departed this life James Neil- son Esq., in the 83d year of his age. He had been an extensive trader for many years in this part of the country, and was universally esteemed for his candour and integrity in that profession. Just and upright in all his dealings to such a degree that envy itself never had an opportunity to detract from his merit, few men in public employment have supported so un- blemished a character for such a length of time as he did. Though far advanced in life at the commencement of this unhappy war, his idea of the injustice aimed at his country was clear and unveiled. He was exceeded by no character in patriotism. He was a true friend to religion, which he always discovered in a liberal contribution to its support. In private he lived like a christian, in the daily practice of the duties of religion. * * * By his death the church and state have lost a valuable friend, and the particular community he be- longed to a useful member of society."
James Neilson established the family in New Brunswick, and his brother John's son, Colonel John Neilson, maintained its high standing. The relationship between this branch of the family and that established in New York by William Neilson, nephew of James and cousin of Colonel John, was for a long while a mooted question ; but it has at length been settled by two letters in possession of Mr. James Neil- son, of "Woodlawn," New Brunswick, one of them from William H. Neilson of New York, to James Neilson, of New Brunswick, December 1I, 1871, and the other from Abra- ham Lott to Colonel John Neilson, March 8, 1783. In the first letter William H. Neilson says, "My grandfather came to this country about 1753. He came to join his uncle John Neilson, M. D., who had settled here several years earlier. William was then an orphan lad of about eighteen years of age. I believe his father at the time of his death was an officer in the British army. Very soon after settling in this country, William engaged in business. His name appears in the (New York) Directory of 1786 as a merchant of 40 Dock street, and is the only name of Neilson in the book. He married Susan Hude, of New Brunswick, New Jersey, with whom he lived about thirty years, and by whom he had two sons and three daughters. Soon after her

death he again married. His second wife sur- vived him several years; she was widow of Colonel (William) Duer and daughter of Gen- eral (William) Alexander called Lord Stirl- ing. She was commonly called Lady Kitty. By this second marriage he had no children. He died about the year 1820. P. S .- I remem- ber a tradition which I heard in my youth, and which I believe to be true, that the first Neilson who settled in Ireland was the grand- father of my grandfather and the great-grand- father of the father of John Neilson, M. D. (that is of John Neilson, M. D., of New York, Colonel John Neilson's son). He came to Scotland in the army of William of Orange, and was an officer in the city of Londonderry during the seige by the forces of James II. in 1689." In the second letter, Abraham Lott writes four days after the death of James, the brother of John Neilson, M. D., the founder of the New Jersey branch, "Mr. Ten Broeck says Mr. W. N. (William Neilson) was pres- ent when his uncle died." This last extract is contemporary evidence from one who ought to know, since Abraham Lott had married the sister to the wife of John Neilson, M. D., the founder.
(I) John Neilson, M. D., of Raritan, founder of the New Jersey branch of the fam- ily, was born in Belfast, Ireland, and died in New Brunswick, New Jersey, March 19, 1745. He married, March 9, 1741, Joanna, daughter of Andreas and Gertrude (Staats) Coejeman, who was baptized November 9, 1718, and died January 26, 1786. (See Staats). Children : I. Gertrude, born about 1742; died July 16, 1799; married, March or May 30, 1762, Colonel James Abeel ; (see Abeel in index). 2. John, referred to below.
(II) Colonel John (2), son of Dr. John (I) and Joanna (Coejeman) Neilson, was born at Raritan Landing, March 11, 1745, and died at New Brunswick, March 3, 1833. At the outbreak of the revolution he was in the ship- ping business with his uncle, James Neilson, at New Brunswick, their vessel trading with Belfast, Lisbon, Madeira and the West Indies. James Neilson, then seventy-five years old, was a member of the committee of correspondence, and officially received and despatched the mes- senger who brought the news of the battle of Lexington. His nephew John made a stirring speech, the notes of which are extant, raised a company, was appointed captain, and served under General Heard on Long Island. August 31, 1775, he was promoted colonel of Middle- sex county minute-men, and was commissioned
by the provincial congress of New Jersey. Early in 1776, although strongly urged to accept, he declined a seat in the continental congress which considered the Declaration of Independence. A copy of this, when adopted, congress sent to Colonel Neilson, as being the one most likely from his patriotism and influ- ence to secure it a favorable reception, and al- though violent opposition was apprehended, he succeeded in obtaining for it a strongly fav- orable reception, when he read it at a public meeting in the streets of New Brunswick. August 1, 1776, he was appointed colonel of the Second Regiment, Middlesex county militia, and during September and October following commanded it on the lines in Bergen and Essex counties. In December he retired with the army under Washington to the Delaware, and December 31, 1776, was ordered, together with Colonel Frelinghuysen, Lieutenant-colonel Taylor and Major Van Emburg, to proceed into New Jersey and reorganize the militia of the state. February 21, 1777, he was promoted brigadier-general of militia. During this win- ter, the British being in winter quarters in New Brunswick, Lord Howe made Colonel Neil- son's house (still in possession of his grandchil- dren) his headquarters. September to Novem- ber, 1777, Colonel Neilson served at Elizabeth- town, and during June and July, 1778, in Mon- mouth county, a part of the time under Gen- eral Dickinson, and again, holding a separate command. November 6, 1778, the assembly and council of New Jersey elected him dele- gate, with Witherspoon, Scudder, Frelinghuy- sen, and Fell, to the continental congress, but he did not take his seat. In January and Feb- ruary, 1778, with John Cleves Symmes and Moore Furman, he met delegates from the. middle and eastern states at New Haven, on recommendation of congress, to devise means to arrest the currency depreciation. During the spring and summer of 1779 he commanded the militia at Elizabethtown and Newark, and September 20, 1780, was appointed deputy quartermaster-general, continuing as such until the close of the war. June 18, 1782, with William Houston and James Ewing, he was chosen commissioner to settle the remaining account of depreciation in the money value of the pay of the New Jersey line. After the war General Washington never passed through New Brunswick without calling upon Colonel Neilson, and, when the British were at that place, Mrs. Neilson was at Morristown, where her seat at table was always between General and Mrs. Washington. Lafayette presented

Colonel Neilson with a sword, and visited him when he returned to America in 1824. At the close of the war he succeeded to the property and shipping business of his uncle, James Neil- son. In 1787 he was chosen delegate to the constitutional convention, which framed the Constitution of the United States, but he did not take his seat ; and he was the last survivor of the forty members of the New Jersey state convention which ratified the adoption of the constitution. In 1790 and 1791 he was one of the commissioners appointed to build bridges over the Hackensack, Passaic and Raritan rivers. In 1800 and 1801 he was member of the State Assembly. He was an elder in the New Brunswick Presbyterian church, clerk of the session fifty years, and president of the .board of trustees. He was a member of the board of trustees of Rutgers College from 1782 until his death in 1833, and acted for a time as president of the board.

(III) John (3), son of Colonel John (2) and Catharine (Voorhees) Neilson, was born in New Brunswick, April 3, 1775, and died in New York City, June 18, 1857. He was a physician, and practiced in New York. At the age of fifteen he entered Princeton College and was graduated with honor in 1794. In those days there were no medical colleges, therefore, as was the custom, young John, deciding to take up the study of medicine, went to New York and entered the office of Dr. Kearny Rodgers, with whom he studied until admitted to practice for himself. He made New York City his home and became the leading physician of the early nineteenth cen- tury. His practice was immense, including the prominent families of that period, among whom were Robert Lenox and his descendants, the first John Jacob Astor, the Le Roys, Col- onel Nicholas Fish, Elisha Riggs, etc. His
was a most successful career of sixty years, always retaining not only the confidence but the love of his patients. He was appointed a surgeon in the army of the war of 1812. He was in charge of the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum for many years, having a special benign influence over the patients. He was an elder in the consistory of the Collegiate Re- formed Dutch Church for more than half his life. His heart and his purse were ever ready to respond to the call of charity. He attended many of the clergy of the city, but never sent bills to them or to widows.
