DILATUSH FAMILY. Joseph Yard Dila- tush, for many years a prominent and influen- tial resident of Robbinsville, Mercer county, New Jersey, who is the largest land owner in Hamil- ton township, at present (1906) cultivating four hundred and forty-five acres of land for general market purposes, is descended from old English families, a number of the members of which have been notably identified with the history of the state in many important instances, and which furnished many soldiers during the time of the Revolutionary war. Mr. Dilatush is also largely interested in the commercial and finan- cial interests of the county. His great-grand- mother was evidently the widow of a soldier of the War of the Revolution, as she drew a pen- sion from the government for many years.
(I) John Dilatush, grandfather of Joseph Yard Dilatush, married Betsey or Elizabeth Yard. a descendant of another famous family, who were among the earliest settlers of the state. William and Mary Yard, the paternal great- grandparents of Elizabeth Yard, came to Phila- delphia, Pennsylvania, from Devonshire, Eng-

land. They removed to Trenton, New Jersey, in 1710, and among their children was a son- Benjamin. Benjamin Yard was occupied as a gunmaker during the War of the Revolution. He married Anne Pearson, and among his chil- dren was a son-George. Anne ( Pearson) Yard was a daughter of Robert and Elizabeth (Tin- dall) Pearson, of South Hill, near Trenton, New Jersey, and granddaughter of Robert and Kat- rine or Catherine Pearson, who came from Eng- land in 1681. The house in which Anne ( Pear- son) Yard was born is still standing, in fairly good condition, near Whitehorse, and is probably the oldest house in the county, having been erect- ed in 1706. George Yard, son of Benjamin and Anne ( Pearson) Yard, was born in Trenton, and married Catalina or Catherine Stout, who was a great-granddaughter of Richard and Penelope Van Princes Stout. The former was the first English settler in New Jersey, and the account of the wonderful escape of Penelope Van Princes from the Indian massacre near Sandy Hook, about the year 1642, and her subsequent romantic marriage to Richard Stout, is one of the earliest noted incidents of the history of New Jersey. She had a brother and a nephew who took an active part during the War of the Revolution, and during its progress the nephew lost his life.
(II) Nahor Dilatush, son of John and Eliza- beth ( Yard) Dilatush, was born in the year 1818. He married Lydia McCabe, daughter of Zede- kiah McCabe, and they had children: I.

Hutchinson. 10. Annie, died in childhood.
(III) Joseph Yard Dilatush (third son and fifth child of Nahor and Lydia (McCabe) Dilatush, was born in Prospect Plains, Monmouth county, New Jersey, July 22, 1852. His education was acquired in the public schools, and upon its com- pletion he was apprenticed to learn the trade of carpenter. After a time he worked on a farm, and in 1879 established himself in business in the manufacture of fertilizers. In 1881 he as-
sociated himself with William White, this con- nection continuing for nearly two years, and sev- eral years later he associated himself with O. F. Neidt, which relationship continued for a period of one and a half years. In 1876 he began to buy farm lands-first one hundred and five acres in Hamilton township; this property had been known as the Dye-Conover farm; in 1900 he bought the Scudder farm of one hundred and seventeen acres; in 1901 bought the Hammell farm of one hundred and forty acres; two years later bought the Nicholson farm of two hundred acres, making a total of six hundred and sixty- two acres. This he keeps in a model state of cul- tivation, and his home farm is the model place of the township.
He has also large lumber interests, being a member of the well known firm of Hendrickson & Dilatush, lumber merchants. He is a member of the Baptist church, and gives his political sup- port to the Republican party. He has held a number of township offices, among them being tax collector and clerk of the school board. He is a member of the Hamilton Square Grange.

HOWARD CLIFTON WHITEHEAD, son of Richard and Marietta (Cade) Whitehead, and a grandson of John Whitehead, the American progenitor, was born in Mercer county, New Jer- sey.
He attended the public schools and then entered the State Model school at Trenton, but did not take the full course front the fact that his father placed him in a business college to learn the ways of a business man, in order that he might be of service to him in his rubber mills. Upon leaving the schoolroom he began at the lowest position in his father's plant, working his way through the different departments, finally being admitted as a member of the firm. In 1892 the father incorporated the firms of Whitehead Broth- ers' Rubber Company with William Whitehead, uncle of Howard C. Whitehead, as the president, and Howard C. Whitelicad as vice-president. Various business changes were made from time to time by death and otherwise, and finally a new firm was formed with Marietta C. Whitehead as president ; Howard C., vice-president; Alfred, secretary. The company is an extensive manu- factory for mechanical rubber goods. They employ about one hundred hands. The old firm name is still continued-"The Whitehead Brothers' Rub- ber Company." Politically Mr. Whitehead is a supporter of the Republican party, but never takes an active part in campaign work.
Mr. Whitehead married Katherine Starr, who traces her ancestry to Lord -, who emigrated from England. He and his wife had a daughter who married Samuel Hedge, and by that union a daughter was born, who married James Thomp- son, and their daughter married Rev. Samuel Starr, who was twice married. His first wife bore him three children, two sons and one daugh- ter. The second wife bore him two sons and a daughter.
