58 Harriet Burrowes; married Ralph H. Smith.
46 RACHEL BURROWES, daughter of John Burrowes, IS, of Middletown Point, N. J., was born September, 1751, and died Aug. 22, 1840. She married Dr. Thomas Hender- son, in January, 1778, who was born, at Freehold, in 1743. He died, Dec. 15, 1824, aged SI years. Both he and his wife, Rachel, are buried in Tennent Churchyard.
Dr. Henderson had previously been married to Mary Hendricks, grand-daughter of William Wikoff, who died shortly after her marriage. Dr. Henderson was a noted physician of Monmouth County, and a most eminent patriot, in the Revolutionary period, and afterward constantly employed in the public service, as Surrogate, Member of the Legislature, Judge, etc., etc.
"Dr. Henderson was the single horseman who notified Washington of Lee's retreat. Dr. Henderson was a good man and would have been much shocked had Washington swore, and doubtless would have told it to his family. He merely said Washington was much excited. Dr. Henderson took Mr. Bruen, his son-in-law, and showed him the spot. Gov. Parker des- cribed it wrongly. It was near the gate of Halsey Sutphen, nearly opposite the residence of the late Rev. Mr. Cobb. Dr. Henderson was present when Lee came up."
From Mrs. Judge Conover, of Marlboro, N. J.
Rachel Burrowes was a bright, little child, much bored by being taken too frequently to church. On one occasion her mother rebuked her for her restlessness in the church, and told her if she did not do better she could not come again. Nothing more was said till they were out of Old Tennent, when turning about and facing the old church, she courtesied deeply several times, and said, "Good bye Mr. Tennent church, good bye," hoping no doubt to con- vey to her mother the idea that what was thus engendered might be realized .*

47 JOHN BURROWES, son of John Burrowes, IS, was called an only son of John. He was club-footed. He was a merchant and resided at Middletown Point, now Matawan. He died in the South, perhaps in New Orleans, from either a duel or yellow fever. He married Margaret, daughter of Samuel and Helena Forman, who died, July 14, 1787. aged 28 years, II months and 16 days, as appears from her tombstone, in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Matawan, N. J.
He was Captain in Forman's Regiment, Continental Army; Captain in Spencer's Regi- ment, Continental Army, Jan. 1, 1777; Major, in the same regiment, July 22, 1779, and dis- charged at the close of the war.

The diary of Major John Burrows with Sullivan, in his expedition against the Iroquois, or, The Sullivan Expedition, has been published by the New York Historical Society.
It is said that the first company of Revolutionary soldiers, from Middletown Point, was formed by the brothers-in-law, John Burrowes, Jr., and Jonathan Forman. The Company. armed and equipped for service, drew up in the front yard of John Burrowes, Sr., where all the mothers, sisters and sweethearts met to say "Good Bye," marshalled by Capt. Andrew Bowne. When the adieus were all made, the drums and fifes started up "Duncan Davis, " and the Com- pany marched to Brown's point, where they embarked for Long Island.
Major John Burrowes was drowned in the St. John's River, Fla., according to our family tradition.
Miss Edith Johnson.
The following different versions of events, occurring in the old Burrowes' House, are interesting.
Dr. Stillwell,
Dear Sir, * * * thanks for furnishing us our missing link. Strange, with the different sketches of the house, that the date was omitted. We are most glad to have it authenticated. I enclose you two clippings that may be of interest; as they are the only two we have, I will have to ask you to return them: but in reading them over I find you must be related. Indeed an old lady, Mrs. Conover, came here last summer, and as she is related to these Bownes and Burrowes, and as she also had you on her list, I take it the enclosed may interest you. Among our many visitors have been Mrs. Linklaen-Horatio Seymour's mother, twice married, and his sister, Mrs. Fairchild-they came begging relics, &c. One thing is amiss: you write that John Bowne built the house, yet in one of these clippings you will see that some one says John Burrowes built it. However, you must be right, for if John Burrowes lived here in the revolution, he did not build the house in 1723, for he was but forty years, or about that, when he "swam for his life." However, this old Mrs. Conover can supply all that, and so to the story.
The old lady who came here and whose name my father had forgotten, was the daughter of Margaret Forman and John Burrowes. Her story was that her mother, a woman of great dignity and strong will, was highly incensed at the treatment her husband had received, but after his escape stayed right here to defend the remaining property. . \ detachment of the British came to the house and demanded to see her. She took her own time in coming down, and as that did not suit the officer in command, he started up the stairs, and they met on the second platform. He wanted bandages for some of his wounded, (men who she believed hus? been in the late Battle of Monmouth). This she refused. Then he demanded the little silk shawl she had
146.
HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
about her shoulders; she indignantly replied that "no shawl of hers should ever go to bind the wound of a British officer." However, he tried to take it by force, and when she repelled him, he struck her with the hilt of his sword on the breast bone. She fell and was carried to her room-the large south corner room, and was unconscious and ill a long time: that she died on the stairs is not true, neither is there any stain of blood, although her daughter said the blow was so hard that it caused a sudden flow of blood, and later that the bone of the breast was injured so much that she never fully recovered, and died two years later in the same room, and the little old lady who came here told how every thing in the room was when her mother died. It is often told by people relating the history, that the woman "died from a cancer caused by the blow." &c. I don't want to err any more than is human, and to be truthful; neither my father nor mother remember being told that, and although I've been brought up on this tale, I never heard them tell it that way; so this is more truthful than graphic.
It may please you to possess a photo of the staircase, which is the choicest architecture in the house; a man from a 3rd Ave. Company took very fine ones for us last summer. I enclose my card. He has kept the negatives for me: the stairs, porch and house. I think if you give him my card, he will furnish you with one.
Hoping that you will not remark that "brevity is wit" and will be lenient towards a new pen in history sketching,
I am Respectfully,
To Dr. J. E. Stillwell At Matawan,
December the ninth, '94.
"Should think the leniency which this new pen in history sketching deserved, was oblivion. To me it would appear to be more like a report of some Spiritualist seance than an accurate account of an historical event. When Gov. Seymour's mother comes abegging relics about ISS7, when she had been dead and buried many a long year, (and if she had not, would have been such an aged relic herself as not to need to ask for any more), it seems decidedly uncanny. Tho' the shadow of truth is there for Mrs. Linklaen was Gov. Seymour's sister.
Major John Burrowes' eldest daughter died in 1810. His only other daughter in 1861, so the time of the visit to Dr. Pitman must have been some thirty-five or forty years before its description by * * * * * 50 time may have blurred somewhat the impression of the call, otherwise the supernatural would seem to be somewhat present, when a woman undertakes to describe, so vividly, events that she saw happening some two or three years before her own birth. Mrs. Breese was born in 1781, and the raid occurred in 1778.
The old Burrowes' House is certainly Matawan's finest Colonial relic, and its owner. during the Revo- lution, numbered among his family some of the firmest patriots in Monmouth County. To have such a col- lection of names as Col. Henderson, Col. Holmes, Quarter-master John Stillwell, Capt. Jonathan Forman and Major John Burrowes, connected with one family, is not a small distinction, and it seems that the history of this old house really deserves to be preserved to posterity in a little more "truthful and graphic" way. To give Ellis' History of Monmouth County credit for once, I would say that the account given there. on page 830. agrees very well with the tradition as it has been handed down in our branch of the family, and I should think was as well written as the above." E. J.
"I have heard that truth is stranger than fiction, and in the matter of the attack on the Burrowes' House. it surely is. The Burrowes are nothing to Miss * * * , why should she be correct? But I object to having my family history maltreated in this way, especially when it is possible to be both truthfut and graphic. Don't leave out how John, Ir., "swam the creek, with one boot on, " and how, when John, Sr., was captured, they seized the Tory Taylor, his wife's cousin, as a hostage. When one family can boast of five Revolutionary officers, it seems worth writing up with a pen not quite so new." H. W. B.
From data in my possession, I deduced that the Burrowes' House was built in or about 1723, by Obadiah or John Bowne.
The raid on the Burrowes House is placed in the year 1778, at which time John. Jr., was not more than twenty-five or twenty-six years of age, instead of forty or thereabouts, and his wife, who is credited with "great dignity and strong will". was only twenty years old. Further, as a matter of fact, she died in 1787, nine years after, instead of two years after the assault, which makes it doubtful whether it played any part in her death.
As Margaret (Forman) Burrowes died in 1787, and Miss * *** writes in 1894, one hun- dred and seven years later, and alludes to the impression of an eye-witness, which would, adding the age of the witness as at least eight years, makes a total of one hundred and fifteen
147
BURROWES OF MONMOUTH COUNTY
years, it seems to me that some error has crept into this assertion, unless the visit to the old house occurred many years ago, in the early years of Dr. Pitman's life.
Fortunately it is easy to separate, in this instance, the accretions begotten by time and erroneous tradition, which make fiction out of fact.

A letter from Gen.

She was an excellent woman and has left two or three children. She died early in December, a few days after her second son, of a typhus fever, which has prevailed in that settlement with considerable violence.
