Sarah Garrison is a direet deseendant from the noble Douglass family of Scotland. Her genealogy has connected with it a romance worthy of record.
James Douglass, of Seotland, had a daughter named Isabella, who desired to marry, as it was thought, be- neath the family, and the marriage was prohibited. She and her lover agreed to elope and emigrate to Philadelphia, and there marry. Isabella sought the ship, but her lover failed to meet hier, and she erossed the Atlantic Ocean alone, and never saw him after- wards. On the passage out the ship was overtaken by pirates, who robbed the passengers and ship of all their valuables, so when they arrived in Philadelphia Isabella found herself penniless and destitute, and found a home with a tailor, who purchased her or

Joseph Stout died in 1767, and bequeathed the tract by will to Joseph .Stout, who in 1789 conveyed the same to Wilson Stout, who in 1799 conveyed the same to John Weart, and it still remains in pos- session of the family. Sarah Weart, aged seventy- eight, is now residing there with her son, Spencer Al- gernon.

On his journey home he found that instead of engaging domestic help he had in charge a refined and edueated lady, equal if not superior to any in the country ; so upon his arrival home he said to his son Benjamin, "I have brought a wife home for yon ;" and so it proved, for she married Benjamin and had eleveu children,-Louis, Andrew, James, . Benjamin, Jonas, Abigail, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary, Francis, and Joseph.
Abigail married William Garrison, Sr., and had by him one child, William Garrison, Jr. William Gar- rison, Jr., married Osee Roberts, and they had five children,-John R. P., Ura, Abigail, Saralı, widow of the subject of this sketch, and Naomi.
The Douglass family had long been in the peerage of Great Britain, and had titles of nobility conferred upon them. Lord Lorne, the Governor-General of Canada, who married the Princess Louise, is descended from the Douglass family, and is a son of the Duke of Argyle.
The Weart homestead is historic ground. The First Baptist Church of Hopewell was organized at the house of Jonathan Stout, who resided there, April 23, 1715. Afterwards, when the first meeting-house eame to be erected, in 1747, Col. Joseph Stout, who theu resided there, desired that the meeting-house should be ereeted at that place, but as the house stands on a high hill overlooking the valley the majority of the eongrega- tion decided not to climb this hill to attend worship, and decided to erect the house in the valley where it now stands. At this Col. Stout took great offense, and he said " that he could build a larger house than the whole congregation," and in 1752 he did so, and made it five feet larger each way, the same being thirty-five by forty-five, with basement, two stories, and peaked roof, and a large front door, which gave the - house a very imposing appearanee.
This house in 1778 became the headquarters of Gen. ! the erection of the Hart monument, ereeted by the Washington and Gen. Lafayette, and from here they proceeded and fought the battle of Monmouth.
Gen. Washington with his whole army crossed the Delaware at Coryell's Ferry, now Lambertville, on June 21 and 22, 1778, and marehed directly to the Hopewell valley, where the army was encamped for several days. As Hopewell is only twelve miles east of ; all this without any charge to the State.
Lambertville, it is supposed that the army reached there on June 23d. In Gen. Greene's memoirs it is stated that a general council of war was held at Hope- well, June 24th. This was doubtless on the hill at Washington's headquarters, where Lafayette was also. Gen. Loe was at the house below the hill, occupied by David Stout, and directly in front of Washington's headquarters. It is said that Mrs. Stout put one of her best beds in order for Gen. Lee, and was greatly
At the time when the house was oeeupied by Gen. Washington, John P. Hart resided there.
When the war of the Rebellion broke out, George W. and James M.,1 two of the sons of Spencer Stout Weart, volunteered in Jersey City, and came home to bid farewell to the family. On this oeeasion the men of the neighborhood brought the large flag from Hopewell village and raised a flag-pole near the house and hoisted the flag in honor of this occasion. The flag remained with Mr. Weart during the period of the war, and upon all occasions of victories or re- joieing he used to hoist it on this eminenee, where it could be seen by the whole neighborhood. Mrs. Sarah Weart was president of the Women's Aid So- ciety of the neighborhood, organized to furnish sup- plies for the soldiers, so that the old homestead again became historie in the war of the Rebellion.
Spencer Stout Weart was a man of imposing figure, over six feet in height. He early joincd the troops forming a part of the Hunterdon brigade, and was one of the eseorts of Gen. Lafayette from Prineeton to Trenton in 1824. He was commissioned second lieutenant by Governor Isaac H. Williamson, June 5, 1826; afterwards first lieutenant, and then made pay- master of the brigade with the rank of major.
He served as a chosen freeholder from Hopewell township for five years. He was always foremost in all patriotie movements. He took great interest in

As a farmer he was one of the most successful ; one of the first to adopt and put in use all kinds of new machinery and agricultural implements, and led all others in the use of lime and other artificial fer- tilizers, and at one time was a very extensive grower of peaches for the New York markets. Large fields which were overrun with briers and weeds, under his cultivation were brought to yield seventy-five bushels of shelled corn to the acre.
RALPH EGE.
Adam Ege, the great-great-grandfather of the sub- ject of this sketeh, emigrated to this country from Germany about the year 1735, at the age of thirteen ycars. He was accompaned by two older brothers, George and Martin, as near as can be aseertained. George settled in Cumberland County, Pa., where his descendants owned and operated successfully the Mount Holly Iron-Works.
A large number of the family still reside in the vieinity of Carlisle, and are prominent in church and State. The name of the other brother, Martin, ap- pears as one of the subscribing witnesses to a deed given to his brother Adam in 1759, and he is sup- posed to have settled in Philadelphia.
Adam Ege married, about 1748, Margaret, daugh- ter of Thomas Hunt, and moved on a farm owned by John Hobbs,' adjoining Thomas Hunt's. This farm, containing one hundred and two acres, was conveyed by Mr. Hobbs to Adam Ege by deed bearing date April 14, 1759 (consideration, one hundred pounds), and is still in the possession of the Ege family, the present owner being John N. Ege. It lies half a mile southeast of Woodsville.
The children of Adam Ege were :
(1) Samuel, the great-grandfather of Ralph.
(2) Jacob, married Elizabeth, daughter of Josiah Hart, of Harborton.
(3) Sarah, married William McKinstry, removed to New York State.
(4) Hannah, married Uriel Titus, of Titusville, N. J.
(5) Elizabeth, married Andrew Hart, of Harborton.
(6) Nathaniel, married Jane Howeil, settled near New Market.
(7) George, married, first, Mary Quick; second, Mary Ashton ; settled at Harborton.
Samuel, the eldest son of Adam Ege, born June 24, 1750, married Annie, daughter of Jolin Titus, Jr., born June 7, 1755. They settled on the homestead at Woodsville, and the father, Adam, removed to the farm at Harborton, which was after his death the property of his son George.
John Titus, Jr., was the son of John Titus, Sr., who probably emigrated from Hempstead, L. I., about the year 1700, and settled on a farm on Stony Brook, two miles east of Pennington. John Titus, Jr., married Annie, daughter of Andrew Smith, who was the first to purchase land for settlement within the present boundaries of Hopewell township, his deed bearing date May 20, 1688. the tract specified in the deed as " ealled by him, and to be called, Hope- well." Andrew Smith was a professional surveyor, and married Sarah, daughter of Jonathan Stout, of Hopewell. He was a son of Richard and Penelope, whose remarkable history is so well known in Hope- well, and a grandson of John Stout, of Nottingham- shire, England, born about the year 1600.
The children of Samuel Ege and Annie Titus were :
(1) John, the grandfather of Ralph.
(2) William, born Aug. 18, 1776, married Amy Dunn.
(3) Sarah, born Jan. 18, 1778, married Philip Pier- son.
(4) Andrew, born Aug. 27, 1779, never married.
(5) George, born Sept. 7, 1781, married Elizabeth Humphries.
(6) Mary, born Aug. 16, 1783, married Amos Hunt.
(7) Annie, born July 31, 1785, married George W. Smith, Esq.
(8) Titus, born June 8, 1787, married Mary Runkle.
(9) Mahala, born Feb. 16, 1794, married Benjamin S. Hill.
(10) Nathaniel, born Nov. 16, 1795, married Mary Phillips.
John Egc, the eldest son of Samuel, born May 6, 1775, married Mary, daughter of Ralph Schenek, of Amwell, born Dec. 12, 1779, died Jan. 15, 1834, and John Ege married (2) Zelpha Decker, widow of Jona- than Hunt.
Through the Schenck family Mr. Ege traees his ancestry more than a thousand years.2
The family is said to have derived its name from Edgar de Sehencken, ehief butler to Charlemagne, who about the year 798 granted to Edgar a title of nobility, and assigned him a coat of arms, the shield being in the form of a goblet, and the name De Scheneken signifying the "enp-bearer."
The line of deseent is traced from Edgar, throngh the Barons of Fautchberg, to Christianus of 1225, then to Wilhemus and Ludovicus to 1346, when it is taken up in direct line.
(1) Hendric Schenek Van Nydeck ; (2) Hendrick ; (3) Derick ; (4) Derick ; (5) Dcriek ; (6) Deriek.
(7) Gen. Peter (a brother of the celebrated Gen Martin Schenck, drowned at the battle of Nymegen in 1589). Gen. Peter married Joanna Van Schar- penscel.
1 John Hobby and wife Elizabeth were an aged couple at that time, and prominent in the membership and history of the Hopewell Baptist Church. They had no children, and lived in a part of the house with dam Ege until the death of Mr. Hobbs.

Through the Voorhees family Mr. Ege traces his ancestry to an Albert, of Drenthe, Holland, born probably in the early part of the fifteenth century. The last ancestor of the family at that place prior to the departure to the shores was Coerte Albertse. His son, Steven Coerte, born in the year 1600, received at fies " from before Hies"), and emigrated to this coun- try with his wife and seven children in the ship "Bouticoe" (Spotted Cow), Capt.
