Henry Squier in 1774 resided in the stone house- now the farm house-on the Redmond estate. 1 His son, Nathan Squier, was heriff of Essex County.

WAARD FAMILY .- By the will of Abel Ward, 1792. he devised a portion of the land to hi son Aaron, and the remainder, including the buildings, to his son Jonathan.

On the 29th of March, 1796, Jonathan Ward and wife, Rachel, conveyed to Jabez Pierson and Isaac Pierson, " in consideration of the sum of seven hundred and fifty pounds, good and lawful money of the State of New Jersey." As this deed was not recorded, we quote the description, and thereby locate the lands beyond reasonable doubt.

Since the date last above given the land has been owned by Nathaniel Lindsley, - Harrison, - Amos Freeman, Thomas Lowndes, and is now Seton Hall College grounds and farm.

John Walls, designated "t'arpenter," had several tracts of land surveyed and laid out to him in South Orange. One of these was in right of finnon Laurie by Isabella Davis, his grand-daughter, dated May 20, 1721, and described as "Beginning at a white oak tree markel on four sides, standing by a swamp;

thener running N.W., 5 W, 25 chains, to stake by a Highway (2) S.W. 20 8. 21 chains, (3) S.E. & E. 22 chains into swamp, (4) 19 chains, to beginning, con- taining 48 acres and f, bounded S.W by Edward Rigg-, S. Easterly by unsurveyed land."

On June 23, 1837, cnr Juhu Ward conveyed by deed to Abner Ward and Nathaniel Ward, in consid- eration of seventy pounds, " Forty-eight and three- quarter acres, at the mountain plantation, so-called, at a place commonly called and known by the name of Chestnut Hill.

" The two descriptions being so nearly iden- tical, we are disposed to believe that they refer to the same premises, but as they do not designate the local- ity definitely, other conveyances must be relied upon for the purpose, and we find that in 1767 a convey - ance of a well-known tract was made to Daniel Riggs, in which the road passing the house of Elihu Ward (now known as Ward's Lane) and the road from Newark passing by Abel Ward's House, are given as boundaries. As the writer has no knowledge of any other lands owned by the family of Ward in South Orange, he takes it for granted that the original sur- vey covered a part of the lands owned by the brothers Abel and Elihu Ward.

The land of Elihu Ward was bounded by Ward's Lane N. W'ly, Irvington avenue S. W'ly. Lands now owned and occupied by Mr. William Bradbury, S. J'ly and N. E'ly, extending into "Dismal Swamp." His dwelling stood facing the south, near the line of the road (Ward's Lane), and was owned and occupied, within a recent period, by Mr. Aaron Ward.3

That portion of the lands of Elihu Ward on the southeast became the property, by devise, of his brother-in-law, Mr. Aaron Crowell, and is now owned and orenpied by his grandson, Mr. Calvin U'rowell.

Other portions are owned by Mr. Philander Ball, Joseph W. Taylor, J. W. Hughes and others.

The land of Abel Ward adjoined his brother Elihu on the N. ES., and extended S. E. into " Dismal Swamp," N. E. to land of Benjamin Baldwin (crossing South Orange Avenue), and binding in part on the road (Ward's Lane).

BALDWIN FAMILY .- Benjamin Baldwin, in his will dated sept. 1, 1801, proved April 9, 1804, among other devises, gives " to eldest son Josias, in addition to the farm he now lives on, all that ten-acre lot I bought of Benjamin Coe adjoining on Gershom Kilborn ' To son Uzal all that farm he now

lives on 1 . Toson Jeptha all the farm I now live on, including the land I bought of Jabez Pier- son.

The farm of Josias Baldwin was afterwards owned and occupied by his son, Josiah Ogden Baldwin, now the property of Albert Smith."

The Uzal Baldwin farm is now the East Orange Poor Farm.

The deptha Baldwin tarm is owned by his soul Benjamin.

Aaron Baldwin, understood to be a brother of Benjamin above named, owned and died in the stone house in the northwest corner of South Orange Avenue and Munn Avenue. By his will, dated Sept. 7, 1797, he devised to his son Elias "forty acres of my land on the westerly end by Elizabeth River.

To son Aaron my house and all my land which I have not given to Elias, etc."

Aaron, however, died intestate, before his father, 1805, and the father, Aaron Sr., made a codicil to his will in which he devises to grandsons Nehemiah, Joel and Cyrus, and further provides that their mother -the widow of his son, Aaron-should be entitled to the same right of dower in the estate as she would have been had the property been vested in her hus- band and had he died intestate.

Aaron Baldwin's land was bounded on the west by U'zal Baldwin.3

Clark Hledden in 1815 resided in a house, now stand- ing, on the northerly side of South Orange Avenue.4 At that time, 1815, there were but five or six dwel- lings between it and High Street, in Newark.

In 1764 the lands of Moses Baldwin are named as being on the westerly border of the lands of Joseph and Thomas Hayes.

On April 14, 1796, Moses Baldwin quit-claimed 37 acres, ; and 31 rods to Jabez B. Baldwin .. Beginning at the west bounds of Dennison's patent.

Thomas Baldwin died in 1821, aged 75. He owned ' Robert Campbell."

a stone dwelling-house and store on the westerly side of what is now Boyden Avenue,-had sons, Joseph T. and David C. The land is now owned and occu- pied by Mr. William Hawkins. 3

Daniel Hayes does not appear as having any inter- est in the lands near Elizabeth River. The following records locate him on the lands formerly of Amos Terrill. His death must have occurred before Aug. 15, 1774.

TICHENOR FAMILY .- Martin Tichenor, one of the original settlers of Newark, was father-in-law of Mr. John Treat.

John Tichenor, a lineal descendant of Martin, owned the farm and stone house now owned by John Smith Brown, on Irvington Avenue.

In 1764, John Tichenor is named as the owner of land on the westerly boundary of the Hayes property on "Denison's gutter."

The will of John Tichenor, dated in 1784, names children,-Nathan, Joseph, Isaac, Nathaniel, Lydia and Hannah.

The four sons appear to have had the farm of their father divided between them. Nathaniel resided on the corner of Irvington and Boyden Avenues. Na- thaniel resided on the property now owned by Mr. Joseph Bradbury. Isaac remained on the old home- stead, and Joseph resided in the house now occupied by Mr. Mahłon W. Vail.

The stone house on the Tichenor farm was erected about one hundred and thirty years ago. 6

Pioneer Surveys and Lot-Owners,-We find among our early records of surveys that the following are recorded, viz. : one to William Camp, dated April 27, 1694, for land on the east side of Rahway River, at Lightning Brook, beginning at the brook and run- ning westerly 72 chains to the river; thence up the river 14 chains; thence east 66 chains; thence south and east 21 chains to beginning.

In July, 1713, Allen Wilkinson conveyed to Robert Campbell by deed, in consideration of sixteen pounds, nine and one-half aeres on east side of Rahway River, with river west, Robert Campbell west, Edward Riggs, east and other lots south.

The families Burwell and Campbell are not now residents of South Orange, and the above record is the only one made in the name of Campbell, so far as is known to the writer

Surveys of lands were made to the Burwells.

The land above described as being conveyed to Robert Campbell is supposed to have descended to his sous, one of whom conveyed as follows :

The deed above mentioned was not recorded; the folds in the paper have obliter- ated the courses run, except as above. This paper (with others referred to below ) is now in possession of Mr. h. H Ball.

On April 1. 1752, Nathaniel Campbell conveyed to Aaron Ball by deed, one and one-quarter acres of land on the east side of the highway and southwest side of Lightning Brook.

The will of Aaron Ball, dated and admitted to probate in 1752, device to sons, Silas and Joseph, all his land and meadow; to son Aaron one hundred pounds, to be paid by Silas and Joseph, when he (Aaron) reaches the age of twenty-one year -; to daughters Keziah, Margaret, Deborah and Hannah, each twenty pounds, the use of the land and meadow to wife.

On Sept. 15, 1767, Silas Ball (blacksmith) conveyed to Joseph Ball (cor lwinder). for five shillings, thirty- one and one-half acres, beginning at Lightning Brook, near the bark-house of Joseph Ball. This probably was the first separation of the lands devised by their father, and is the home lot of Mr. R. H. Ball, who is of the fifth generation descending from Aaron Ball.

thaniel Campbell executed mortgages to Joseph Ball forly border of the farm.

On Nov. 8 and 9, 1766, David Campbell and Na- for lands "on the south side of road from Newark to Pierson's grist-mill." This land is now owned by Mr. Philander Ball. The stone dwelling-house of Mr. R. 11. Ball has been rebuilt and enlarged upon the site of the off one and a memorial in iron letters, -17-7,-shows date of rebuilding.

The writer has no record of the land conveyed to Silas Ball, but on May 14, 172, conveyed to Aaron Ball (shoemaker), for one hundred pounds, thirteen acres, described, which is now in possession of Mr. Aaron B. Brown, a lineal descendant of Aaron Ball. Query. Was this conveyance made in lieu of the legacy mentioned in the will of their father? The several descriptions given, when compared with re- cord of roads, clearly indicate the locality.

Samuel Ball built and resided in a house which formerly stood upon the site of the present residence of Mr. Samuel P' Brown. Mr. Brown has a tradition that the Samuel Ball killed in battle at Springfield was a former owner.

Another tradition says that a dam and mill-pond were on the same premises.

A record of a survey bearing date April 21, 1656, is made for Thomas Luddington for forty-five acres (by Town Surveyor, formerly laid out to Edward Riggs). The land was bounded with Nathaniel Wheeler south, one hundred and twenty rods, common north, une hundred and twenty rods, common west, seventy- two rods, common cast, fifty-two rods.

Seventeen acres adjoining the above one hundred and thirty-six in twenty rods. Nathaniel Wheeler and his own land east, Common north, on the back- side of the hill towards Rahway River, west common south, on Upper Chestnut hill.

The location above described is probably near Mon- trose Station. The writer has no record showing who succeeded buddington as owner. Luddington's Brook is named in the following dleed, made Dec. 12, 1725, by Josiah Ogden and wife, Cattorn, to Samuel Freeman, Jr., the consideration being sixty-nine pounds and the quantity forty acres.
