EDWARD H. SAVIGE, of Hightstown, senior member of the firm of E. H. Savige & Son, lum- ber and hardware merchants, was born October 22, 1845, at Mercerville, Mercer county, son of William Parker Savige, and grandson of Thomas Savige. The family is one of long residence in New Jersey, where the members, in the suc- cessive generations, have earned for themselves honorable reputations in different walks of life.


Thomas Savige, grandfather of Edward H. Savige, was born in Burlington county, New Jersey, and during the Revolutionary war served in Washington's army in the capacity of wagon- master. He married Ann Parker, and they were the parents of a son, William Parker, of whom later.


William Parker Savige, son of Thomas and Ann (Parker) Savige, and father of Edward H. Savige, was born in Nottingham township, Burlington county, and spent his entire life in his native county. He learned the trade of a tanner and currier, which he followed for a time, but subsequently engaged in the shoemak- ing business and later in the hotel business at Clarksburg and Mercerville. The autumn of his life was spent in retirement, and he died April 28, 1864. In his early manhood Mr. Savige


maintained the patriotic and military traditions of his family by taking up arms in the war of 1812. During his period of service he was sta- tioned at Billingsport Fort.


Mr. Savige was twice married. His first wife was Dorothy Nelson, who bore him the following children : Alexander, married Ann Kelley. Charles. Isaac, married Abigail Phil- lips. Emily, wife of Price Bills. These three sons and this one daughter are all now deceased. After the death of their mother Mr. Savige took for his second wife Theodosia Hutchinson, daughter of Jonathan D. and Elizabeth ( Tindall) Hutchinson, the issue of this marriage being two sons : Jonathan D., of Mercerville, married Ad- eline Pullen ; and Edward H., of whom later. William Parker Savige attained to an advanced period of life, dying in 1864, in the eighty-first year of his age.


Edward H. Savige, son of William Parker and Theodosia (Hutchinson) Savige, received his education in the common schools, and after com- pleting his course of study spent about three years in agricultural pursuits. His inclinations however were for a commercial career, and, feeling that his true sphere of usefulness was that of a merchant rather than a husbandman, he abandoned farming and for some five years engaged in mercantile business in Hightstown. In 1873 he disposed of his interests and turned his attention to the lumber business, in which he engaged, in connection with Enoch Dey and A. B. Wykoff, under the firm name of Dey, Wykoff & Savige. This partnership was main- tained four years, at the end of which time Mr. Wykoff retired, the business being carried on during the following six years by Mr. Dey and Mr. Savige, under the firm name of Dey & Savige. At the expiration of this period Mr. Savige sold his interest to Mr. Dey, and since 1883 has been engaged in business for himself .. In 1904 he took as a partner his son, Edward H. Savige, Jr., the firm then assuming its present style of E. H. Savige & Son. Mr. Savige is one of the oldest business men of Hightstown, holding, hy reason of his long experience and his honorable record, a foremost place, and also ranking as one of the town's most progressive and substantial citizens. He is a past master and a member of Hightstown Lodge, No. 41, Free and Accepted Masons, and for ten years has served as treasurer of this organization.


Mr. Savige married, May 30, 1868, in Allen-

He married, October 24, 1900, Cora Kelsene Spencer. daugh- ter of John N. and Margaret Spencer, of Havre- de-Grace, Maryland. Mr. and Mrs. Savige have no children.

DAVID M. BROWN, deceased, for many years a veteran farmer and honored citizen of Windsor, was born at that place, April 20, 1826, son of Samuel and Edith (McCabe) Brown.


Samuel Brown ( father) was a native of Mid- dlesex county, New Jersey, but shortly after his birth was taken by his parents to Washington township and to Windsor. He was a mason and builder and assisted in the construction of the bridges and many of the railroads in and around this part of New Jersey. He was a man of sterl- ing character, and his interest in church work was unbounded. In the carly and struggling days of the church Mr. Brown was one of the foremost in advancing aid, and when it was proposed to build the edifice at Windsor he con- tributed one-half of the work necessary for its erection besides giving substantial sums of mo- ney for its support afterward. His children and grandchildren, although very modest in regard to the good work done by him in the cause of church and state, admit that without his aid the church might not have passed safely through cer- tain periods of its history. It certainly stands as a monument to the generous support given it hy himself and his posterity. He was a Dem- ocrat and took an active part in township affairs, in which he was regarded as a leader, being looked up to by his neighbors with such confi- dence that had he desired any office in their gift it would at once have been placed at his disposal.


Samuel Brown married Edith McCabe, and the following were their children: I. James P .. born in Windsor, married Elizabeth Up- dike: children : Albert, married Lydia Hen- drickson: Emma, wife of Joseph Moore. James P. died April 26. 1888, and his widow passed away April 7, 1895. 2. Mary, wife of James Nutt. 3. Joel, died young. 4. Horatio S., died June 23. 1876; he married (first) Mary Thompson, of Bordentown; married (second) Mary Le Rne, of New York. 5. David M., of whom later. 6. Stacy, married Amanda Mc- Galliard; two children: Milton, married Eliza- beth Hutchinson, one child. Amos, and Sylvia, wife of Edgar Snedaker. one child. Franklin. 7. Sarah. wife of James McGalliard; three chil- dren : Edith, wife of George Paine, one child. Alberta ; Horatio; David, married and living in Chicago. The death of Samuel Brown occurred March 31, 1869, and that of his widow April' 9. 1876.


David M. Brown, son of Samuel and Edith


(McCabe) Brown, was educated in the schools of his native place, leaving school at an early age and becoming his father's assistant on the farm. Being ambitious to try his powers in an- other line ot industry, he learned the trade of mason and followed it for several years, but found, ultimately, that the life of a farmer ap- pealed to him most strongly, and he therefore decided to become once more a tiller of the soil. He raised large quantities of apples and pears, which he shipped abroad. He devoted his entire time to the supervision of his extensive or- chards, having been the first to arrive in the morning and the last to leave at night, and was fully as capable of doing his share of work as any man in his service. Although he was at times offered nominations which were equiva- lent to elections to the principal town offices, he invariably refused, preferring not to assume the responsible duties of an office holder. Political- ly he was a Democrat of. the old school. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he held the offices of treasurer and trustee, and in the work of which he was ardently interested, having been unremitting in his labors to build it up.


Nr. Brown married, December 28, 1848, Har- riet M. McKnight, born November 1, 1829, daughter of James and Elsie ( Wilkins) Mc- Knight, who were the parents of six other chil- dren, namely: Susan, Jane, Louis, Juliette, Eli- za and Mary McKnight. James McKnight was a prominent citizen of Millstone township, Mon- mouth county, New Jersey, and foremost in all its good work. Mr. and Mrs. Brown had chil- dren : 1. Louis S., born October 14, 1849, in Windsor, has always led the life of a farmer, and has taken a prominent part in town affairs, serving on the board of election; he is a Demo- crat in politics; he married Amanda Borden, and they are the parents of two children: Ada C., born July 28, 1876, wife of Amasa Schneider. David A., born December, 1877, married Edna Kemp, and has one child, Dorothy. 2. Sam- uel, J. born August 9, 1855. in Windsor, has fol- lowed in the footsteps of his ancestors, taking a leading part in the affairs of the town; is a frecholder of Washington township. He mar- ried Caddie T. Borden, and they have one daugh- ter, Etta, wife of Jones D. Mount, and the moth- er of one child, Harold. 3. Douglass T., born January 24. 1864. in Windsor, and now ( 1907) resides in Trenton. He married Minnie Burk,

The kinship between this branch of the Lin- coln family and Abraham Lincoln, the martyr president, is to each of its members a cherished inheritance, and may be traced through the fol- lowing generations :


Samuel Lincoln, the founder of the Lincolns in America, as mentioned above, had among his children a son, Mordecai Lincoln, who lived and died at Scituate, near Hingham, Massachu- setts. Mordecai Lincoln, son of Mordecai Lin- coln. emigrated, between 1720 and 1725, to New Jersey, and later to what afterwards became Berks county. His son, John Lincoln, moved to Rockingham county, Virginia, in 1758. Abra- ham Lincoln, son of John Lincoln, settled, about 1781 or 1782 in Kentucky, where he met death in a manner which was often the lot of the pi- oneer, being killed by the Indians. Thomas Lin- coln, son of Abraham Lincoln, was six years old at the time of his father's death. He married, June 12, 1806, near Beachland, Washington county, Virginia, Nancy Hanks, and after the birth of a daughter removed to the new county of La Rue, Kentucky. Abraham Lincoln, son of Thomas and Nancy ( Hanks) Lincoln, was born February 12, 1809, a mile from Hodgen's Mill, La Rue county, Kentucky, and became the sixteenth president of the United States.


FORD FAMILY. John Dye Ford, a pros- perous farmer and public-spirited citizen of Hightstown, is a prominent representative of a numerous family, which has been seated in


Mercer county from a date prior to the Revolu- tionary war, descended from John Ford, from England, the immigrant ancestor. r. The family has always taken a leading part in the affairs of the county, and their loyalty and uprightness of character have never been questioned. Many tales of adventure encountered and hardships en- dured during the struggle for independence have passed down from generation to generation. On one occasion a member of the family was pur- sued by a party of drunken Hessian soldiers as far as his home, and the marauders ransacked the dwelling, appropriating everything that was of value, and rode away with the best horses in the stable.


Robert Ford, father of John Dye Ford, was born June 5, 1792, and died May 31, 1874. He married, February 1I, 1813, Margaret, born February 27, 1793, daughter of John and Sarah (Perrine) Dye, the Dyes being an old and well known family of the county.

Mr. Ford married ( sec- ondly), Sarah Dye, a sister of his first wife, and to them were born children: Amanda, February 18, 1835, died December 30, 1872. Evelyn, March 31, 1836, died August, 1837. William Henry Harrison, February 29, 1840, died Janu- ary 9, 1873.


John Dye Ford, sixth child and second son of Robert and Margaret (Dye) Ford, was born in Allentown, and until the age of eighteen at- tended the common schools of his native place. He then became his father's assistant on the farm which had been the abode of three gener- ations of his ancestors, and thereafter spent his life in the management of his extensive estate, raising large crops of corn, rye and other pro- duce for the market. Although often called upon to serve his town in important official po- sitions, he always declined, preferring to devote his entire attention to his personal affairs. He has ever been a faithful member of the Presby- terian church, and in its work he has ever taken an active part, and contributed freely of his means to its support and to the aid of its vari-

Her father was born July 15, 1787, and died February 24, 1850, and her mother was born May 7, 1795, and died Decem- ber 13, 1886. The children of Henry and Re- becca (Jewell) Applegate were : 1.

Rebecca, born December 2, 1835. 6. Charles Henry, born June 17, 1838. John Dye and Elizabeth A. (Applegate) Ford were the parents of two sons: Henry Applegate Ford, see forward. George Titus, see forward.


George Titus Ford, youngest son of John Dye and Elizabeth A. (Applegate) Ford, was born near Allentown, Washington township, Mercer county, New Jersey, June 21, 1859. He acquired his education in the public schools of his native town, and at the age of sixteen be- came associated with his father in the manage- ment and cultivation of the homestead farm. On this historic old estate he has thus far passed his life, and, like his forefathers, is recognized among the leading farmers of the county. As a cit- izen he has been prominently identified with ev- ery movement tending to advance the progress and wellbeing of the community. He has served on the board of registrars, and as a member of the town committee, and has held the office of commissioner of appeals. He is a member of the Grange, is recognized as a local leader in the councils of the Republican party, and is an ac- tive member of the Presbyterian church.
