There is also a small family burying-ground on the west side of Stony Brook, in the township of Prince- ton, known as the JOHNSON GRAVEYARD. It has been used chiefly by the Johnson family, which was ancient and numerous. It is a small yard and very much neglected. The interments made there are very few. Capt. John Johnson, who rendered nse- ful services to the American army in the Revolution, who was a justice of the peace, and a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church of Princeton from 1786 to his death in 1800, was buried there. His memory is worthy of a monument.
The PRINCETON CEMETERY, or burying-ground, connected with the First Presbyterian Church of Princeton, and situated on the north corner of With- erspoon and Wiggins Streets, adjoining and originally a part of the old Wiggins parsonage, is the most ex- tensive and most famous of all the burying-grounds in this part of the country .. It was originally a small parcel of land conveyed by Thomas Leonard to the trustees of the college soon after the college was built. It was described in a deed for adjoining land in 1763 as "a burying-ground," and there is a gravestone there over the grave and to the memory of Dickinson Shep- herd, a student of Nassau Hall, who was buried there in 1761. Afterwards, when the college conveyed to the church the land where the church edifice was erected, the burial lot was also transferred to the church upon condition that no interments should be made on the church lot outside of the walls of the church. From that time to the present this burying- ground has been regarded as belonging to the Pres- byterian Church, and has been held and governed according to the rules and regulations of the trustees . of that congregation. This original parcel has been enlarged and extended by additions from the per- purchased by Paul Tulane, Esq., and presented to the trustees of the church for its enlargement, until at the present time the whole tract contains about fifteen acres of land.
Burial-Places .- The earliest and most prominent place of burial prior to the Revolutionary war in the township of Princeton was the one at the Quaker meeting-house at Stony Brook. The first settlers and . sonal lands adjoining and by several lots of land
their descendants for many generations were buried there. The Clarkes, the Oldens, the Worths, the Hornors, and the Stocktons, too, for the first hundred years have used no other place than that. Richard Stockton, the signer of the Declaration, was buried

Upon its It is a peculiarity of the Quakers which forbids the use of tombstones or monuments of any kind to desig- nate one grave from another or to perpetuate the names of the dead. marble records are fonnd the names of great and dis- tinguished men, names which are honored in the church, in science, in war, in jurisprudence, in states- manship, and in social life.

ton, Van Cleve, Howell, Sansbury, Forman, Dunn, and the Woodhulls. There is also a multitude of once honored citizens, clergy, soldiers, noble women, and there are not a few broken shafts to the memory of lovely young men and maidens.
So much precious dust, honored in many instances by beautiful and costly monuments, cannot fail to clothe this cemetery with extraordinary interest. Strangers when visiting the town are drawn to it, and newspaper correspondents love to describe it. The corners of the monuments of President Edwards and some others exhibit the vandalism of relic-seekers, who have clipped off little nuggets of the marble to carry away with them.
This place is often called the " Westminster Abbey of America." The trustees offer lots for sale in this cemetery. It has just been inclosed with a new fence, and improved and beautificd.
There are several other burial-places connected with churches in the borough, but all of modern ori- gin. There is one connected with TRINITY CHURCH, but it is really a private one belonging to the Potter family. It is a very interesting spot. There is one connected with the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. It is well located on spacious grounds adjoining that church in the rear. It is consecrated ground, and is used only by those who belong to that denomination.
It is hardly necessary to mention the fact that many persons have been buried in and near Princeton in years long gone by, in graves which now are not known as such, and have no monuments to mark them, both in the town and on the old battle-ground. More than one hundred of the British soldiers slain in the battle of Princeton were buried on the battle-field, and about fourteen American soldiers who were killed were also buried there. There is no monument to designate the place, though the spot can be identified with reasonable certainty, as the Revolutionary his- tory places it about two hundred yards north of Joseph Clarke's barn, along an obscure driftway.
There was an early graveyard at Prospect, in Waslı- ington Street, where it is supposed Jonathan Ser- geant and his wife were buried, with others. There are also traces of burials on the Skelton property in Nassau Street, now the property of Miss Julia Smith. And quite recently graves stoned up after the Eng- lish mode of a past century have been found in a little grove in front of Professor Sloane's new house on Bayard Avenue, in the vicinity of which a nun- ber of burials were made during the Revolutionary war, as tradition testifies.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
COMMODORE ROBERT FIELD STOCKTON.
Commodore Robert Field Stockton was one of the illustrious citizens of Princeton. His reputation
belongs to the whole country. He was born at Mor- ven, in the home of his father, Richard Stockton, LL.D., in 1795. He was a grandson of Richard Stockton, the signer. In his boyhood he was impetu- ous and courageous, and carly left college to seek a midshipman's warrant, and received a commission in 1811. He pursued the naval service through the war of 1812 with enthusiasm and distinction, and after ten years returned to Princeton, but not satisfied with the fame he had won. In behalf of the American Colonization Society he sailed, with the consent of the Navy Department, to the western coast of Africa, and after a thrilling adventure among the ferocious natives and treacherous kings of Western Africa, he effected a purchase of the territory of Liberia for the use of the American Colonization Society. That is now the flourishing republic of Liberia.
Lieut. Stockton captured several vessels engaged in the slave trade on the coast of Africa. His right of capture was tested in the United States courts, with Mr. Webster for his connsel, and Justice Story de- livered the opinion of the court justifying the cap- ture. In 1823 he was ordered South to survey the Southern coast of the United States. While there he married Miss Maria Potter, of Charleston, S. C. In 1826, after nearly sixteen years of service, he set- tled at Princeton, and remained at home for some time, and gave his support to the colonization cause. He indulged in the pleasures of the turf, imported a fine stock of blooded horses, and exhibited a fondness for horses which is said to have been a trait of the ancestral Stockton family.
Capt. Stockton warmly espoused the cause of Gen. Jackson against Mr. Adams, because the latter had proscribed the Federalists. In 1828 he stepped in and pledged his fortune to the work of the Delaware and Raritan Canal. He went to England and effected a loan of money, which he could not effect in New York. He became identified with this great work, made still greater when subsequently it was united with the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company. He was president of the canal company and of the joint com- panies.
In 1838 he entered the political campaign in favor of Gen. Harrison for President, aiding the Whigs of New Jersey in the Great Seal controversy .. He can- vassed the State as a stump speaker, and attracted crowds of people to hear him by his dash and eloquence. He supported Mr. Tyler in his departure from the Whig party after the death of Harrison. He was tendered the secretaryship of the navy, which he de- clined.
The Navy Department permitted him to construct a steam ship-of-war. It was commenced in 1842, and was completed in 1844. She was called the " Prince- ton," and carried two great guns, called the " Peace- maker" and the "Oregon." The speed and sailing qualities of the vessel and the security of her motive- power and her powerful armament attracted the at-

tention and admiration of skillful engineers of every European naval power. On the 28th of February, 1844, the President and Cabinet and others, members of Congress and strangers in Washington, went aboard of her on an experimental excursion down the Po- tomac. The commodore was happy over a successful test of the ship, but before the rejoicing had termi- nated the big gun exploded, as the commodore reluc- tantly fired it again after having tested it, and killed Secretary of State Upshur, Secretary of the Navy Gil- mer, Capt. Beverly Kennon, of the navy, the Hou. Vigil Maxey, of Maryland, and Hon. David Gardi- ner, father-in-law of President Tyler. A court of inquiry exculpated the commodore of all blame for the explosion.
Iu 1845 he was ordered to the frigate " Congress," and sailed to the Pacific, and while there the Mexi- can war broke out and the commodore became the conqueror of California, and established a civil gov- ernment over it, and returned home across the Rocky Mountains.
Iu 1849 he resigned his command in the navy and appeared in the United States Senate as successor of Mr. Daytou. He spoke frequently when in the Senate, and one of his best speeches was in favor of abolish- ing whipping in the navy. He withdrew from the Academy, where he obtained a preliminary education Senate to give place to his brother-in-law, John R. Thomson, and then he attended to his private busi- - ness and to the joint companies.
He next appears identified with the American party, and loomed up as au aspirant and probable eandidate of that party for the Presidency, but his friends failed to secure for him the nomination.
Then came the civil war, and with his sympathics for the South and for the doctriues of State rights, and yet with his gallant loyalty to the Stars and Stripes, he sadly stood aloof from the strife, a silent speetator, till his sudden death, Oct. 7, 1866, at his home in Princeton, about seventy-one years of age. He left three sons, all lawyers-Richard, who was treasurer of the Delaware and Raritan Canal Com- pany, now deceased; John P., who is the attorney- general of this State, and was previously minister to Rome and United States senator, and Gen. Robert F. Stockton, recently comptroller of the State at Tren- ton-and six daughters.
This is a very imperfect sketch of a very distin- guished and illustrious citizen. He was a gallant, ehivalric, courageous soldier. He was fine-looking, genial, magnetic, and almost irresistible in personal intercourse. He was generous and liberal in his nature, never counting the cost in lavishing his own estate upon any scheme or enterprise he espoused. He had respect for religion and for law. He was an orator and a patriot. His biography has been written by Samuel J. Bayard, and to it we refer those who desire to know more than this notice is expected to furnish. He was buried in the Stoekton burial lot in the cemetery at Princeton.
PAUL TULANE.
His paternal great-grandfather and his grandfather, Louis M. Tulane, were successively judges of the Probate Court at Rille, near Tours, France. His father. Louis Tulane, a native of Rille, born in 1767, was engaged in commercial business in San Domingo, but, accompanied by his wife, fled his native coun- try on account of the revolution, and came to America in 1791. After a short time spent in Philadelphia, he, in 1792, settled at Cherry Valley, near Princeton, N. J., where in 1799 he purchased the homestead farm of Peter Antoine Malou, a Belgian cxile, who had resisted the French invasion, afterward became a Catholic missionary, and died in New York in 1827.
Louis Tulane was classically educated, became a naturalized American citizen in 1793, discontinued his business in San Domingo in 1797, and died at Cherry Valley, where he had settled, in 1847. His wife died in 1813, both being interred in the Prince- ton Cemetery. Their children were Louis, Victor, Paul, Gatien, and Florentine. Of these, Paul Tulaue has survived all his brothers, was born in May, 1801, and is at the writing of this sketch past eighty-one years of age. He was educated in the private school of Mr. Bull, of Princeton, and at the Somerville preparatory to a business life. Following 1817 he was a clerk in the store of Thomas White at Priuce- ton for one year, and made a tour of the West and South with a cousin.
Iu December, 1822, believing the Southern trade more advantageous, he established a general whole- sale and retail mercantile business at New Orleans, buyiug largely for his trade of the manufacturers at Plainfield, Orange, Newark, and New York. He soou after opened a branch house for trade and for the manufacture of clothing in New York City, where he also carried on mercantile business from 1827 until the close of his mercantile career in 1858. He had associated with him partners, and the firm- names of Paul Tulane & Co., of New Orleans, and Tulane, Baldwin & Co., of New York, were familiar among the large and thoroughgoing business firms of both North and South. Until 1840 the business had been continued in trading in hats, shoes, cloth- ing, and dry-goods, but after that date was devoted exclusively to wholesale and retail clothing, his trade reaching all of the States of the Mississippi Valley and the Gulf of Mexico.
After his retirement from inercantile life he engaged extensively and successfully in real estate operations in New Orleans until 1873, when he retired from that eity, where he had spent fifty-Que years as an active, enterprising, and able business man, and settled in Princeton, leaving his large business interests at New Orleans in charge of his trusted agent, Mr. P. N. Strong.

man and a citizen than by quoting from a leading New Orleans journal of June 16, 1832, which says, " His fortune was accumulated by the most honorable methods and great observance of the strictest rules of mercantile integrity and faith. In commercial and social spheres his whole career has been without blot or staiu, without involvement of any contention of his fellow-men, without a resort to any of those hard and severe exactions of his fellow-citizens too often
employed by our wealthy capitalists, and with the . tial, enterprising, and public-spirited citizen, and was
practice of those miserly and unsocial habits which have characterized the mode of life of some of our millionaires." Mr. Tulane's liberal benevolence was as clearly recognized in New Orleans as was his mer- . cantile honor. His charities flowed out in diversi- fied streams, but chiefly in channels which relieved indigent friends, ill-paid ministers, and struggling churches, and his mupublished and unostentatious charities will ever remain a dear yet happy re- minder to the recipients, bespeaking his noble man- hood, sympathy, and kindness for less fortunate hu- manity. For many years he has been in the habit of educating young men and women whose friends were unable to assist them, and while he has given largely of his means in support of his own denomi- nation, -- the Presbyterian,-he has recognized in a liberal way the needs of other religious bodies to an extent that will never be fully known. The First Presbyterian Church at Princeton and the Princeton Cemetery have been large recipients of his donations, and he has made the rare provision of adjusting and keeping in perpetual repair the graves and monu- ments of the dead of past generations in the old graveyard at Princeton who have no surviving de- seendants, and also for the land he may add to it. And especially does he cherish a warm affection for the memories of those refugee families who gathered around his father when he first settled at Cherry Val- ley, near Princeton, in 1792. In harmony with his unselfish charity, Mr. Tulane has during the present year (1882) executed his deed for a princely donation of all his real estate in the city of New Orleans, naming therein seventeen ,administrators, with Gen. R. L. Gibson, president, and Judge Charles E. Fen- ner and James McConnell, vice-presidents, to hold this property in trust for the education of young men in that eity, thereby placing its author among the millionaire philanthropists of this country.
Mr. Tulane kept the Malou homestead where his father settled, at Cherry Valley, for his summer resi- denee until about 1850, and in 1860 he purchased his present residence, an clegant stone mansion, of Com- modore Robert F. Stockton, in Princeton.
He retains his physical and mental faculties, was never married, and has no kindred nearer than nephews and nieces.
CAPT. J. S. GULICK.
Pay Director John Story Guliek was born near Kingston, Mercer Co., N. J., May 14, 1817. The family of the Gulicks is of Holland origin, having emigrated to this country about one hundred and fifty years ago, and settled in the neighborhood of Kingston, where the immediate relatives of our sub- ject have lived since that time.
Maj. John Gulick, the grandfather, was an influen-
the pioneer of the express, stage, aud steamboat lines between New York and Philadelphia, and largely interested therein previous to the introduction of railways into the State. Jacob, the eldest of his sons, and father of our subject, born in 1787, was for many years interested with his father in the stage and steamboat business, but in subsequent years was a land proprietor and farmer on the ancestral estate, near Kingston, where he died in 1862, leaving a widow, Lydia Story, who survives in 1882, aged ninety-four years. The maternal ancestors of our subject came to this country somewhat earlier. The ancestor in the direct line settled in Monmouth County, in this State, while a brother of this genera- tion moved to New England, and founded the well- known family of this name in Boston.
John Story, grandfather of our subject, was an officer of militia in the army of Gen. Washington at the battle of Monmouth, which took place near his home.
John Story Gulick received his early education at the High School, Lawrenceville, N. J., under the direction of Messrs. Brown and Phillips, entered college in the sophomore class at Princeton in 1835, and graduated in 1838. After this he read law with James S. Green, of Princeton, and after the usual course of study and practice was admitted as attorney and connselor-at-law at the bar of New Jersey. He practiced his profession at Princeton and New York until 1851, when he was appointed by President Fill- more as purser in the navy of the United States. Under this commission he made two cruises at sea, on the Brazil station, and one cruise on the Pacific sta- tion before the outbreak of the civil war.
In 1854 he married Elizabeth Milligan, an artist and lady of culture, residing in Fauquier County, Va., where he then established his home. Having returned from one of his cruises at sea a short time before the commencement of the war, he was at his home in Virginia during a few months preceding that event.
He at once applied for and obtained orders for sea service, and was assigned duty on board the steam- frigate " Wabash," then fitting ont for service on the Atlantic coast. During the few days allowed to re- port for this duty it became apparent that an officer in the service of the United States could no longer safely sojourn in Virginia. He therefore made in- mediate preparation for a final departure from that disloyal State. Traveling in his own conveyance by night and by day, and avoiding the public roads and

places, he succeeded in reaching and crossing the Potomac River, with his family, some miles above Washington, only in time to escape capture by the rebels, then everywhere assembling under arms. The railways between Washington and Baltimore having been torn up, he proceeded in his own conveyance, and thus traveled the entire distance to his native . place in New Jersey. Here leaving his family, he at once reported for duty on the "Wabash" at New York. This was April 25, 1861. During the first months of his service on board the "Wabash," August, 1861, that ship took a prominent part in the bombardment and capture of Forts Clark and Hat- teras, at the mouth of that inlet, with six hundred prisoners. This event seemed at that time more im- portant than it now appears, inasmuch as it was among the first of the Union successes in the war, and was then thought to have a salutary effect on the national spirit somewhat depressed by previous defeats.
