HISTORY OF ESSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

Moses Smith : Tradition and records show that one James Smith, an orphan, who resided with an aunt in Scotland, becoming offended by his said aunt, ab- sconded, and was a passenger in the vessel in which Philip d'artaret made his second voyage to New Jersey. Upon his arrival, James Smith was placed as an apprentice to a Mr. Crane, of Newark, with whom he remained, marrying one of Crane's daughters. James Smith became the owner of a large tract of land, which he devised in 1720-23 to his sons. 1 portion of the land is still in possession of Mr. James Smith, a lineal descendant.

David Smith, another descendant, was the father of Moses Smith, above alluded to. Moses Smith resided on a tract of land which was originally surveyed to Robert Campbell. (See John Campbell.1)

He de- molished the old house about fifty years ago, using the stone from it in the basement of the new house which he occupied many years. It is now occupied by Mr. - Meredith .?

Pioneer and Later Highways .- The first record in reference to roads in this vicinity appears as fol- lows :

"Town Meeting, December 12, 1an]. It is voted that there shall be surveyors chosen to lay out highways as far as the mountain, if need be. . . . Item-William Camp, John Treat, Thomas Ludington, Jasper Crane, Mr. John Catlin, Richard Harrison, and Stephen Davis are chosen for that purpose, and any three of them at each end of the town have power to net." Of these Messrs. Cump, Trent, Ludington, Crane and Harrison owned lands near the mountatt. If the surveyors touk nny official action under the authority named above, they made no record of the fart. The records na given below show, however, that the " pathy" lund been used for a long a time as to justify the surveyors or commis- sionera to make references to them in their official record.

Det. 8, 1705. "A road from town to the foot of the Mountain or Wheeler's, as the path now rius, as straight us the ground will allow." (Nathaniel Wheeler owned land and resided near where St. Mark's Church now stands, in West Orange. He derded the land where the old gruvcyard is located, corner Main and Scotland Streets, to a committee of the Second Presbyterian Church of Newark how First Presbyterian Church of Orange). It is sab to presme that Main Street, Orange, stands for survey oumler eno.

Oht. 8, 1705. " Another rond from said rund, south by a line of marked trees, to Joseph Riggs' honer." If our supposition in regard tu number one is correct, we may safely designate mimber two na being the Valley or Freemantown road, now the Ridgewood rund. )"

Oct. 8, 1705. Another road from said Riggs tu town, to run by a path as straight as may be, and by a line of marked trees frin first-mentioned roast north at the foot of said mountain." (This clearly is South Orange avenue.)

Aug. 1, 1705. " One public, general and common highway beginning at the north -east corner of Richard Baker's Home lot . running north over Crane's brook, as the old road ruus to Mr. Willock's landa, thence along between the lands of Mr Willock's and ancuh Mitchell, taking four rods in breadth out of the south end of Mr. Willock's or- chard, thence along the north side of Benjamin Wade's dwelling-house, thence along by a line of marked trees over Rahway River, then along by n line of marked trees till it comes to Minnesink path, at the rear of Klward Riggs' plantation."

1709. " Another road beginning at the saw-mill path, thence running as the path runneth to Brown's line, thence as the Brown's line and the path runneth to Edward Riggs' line, and by Riggy' and Abraham Wil king' line to Captain Johnson's land to Rahway River."

March Js, 1718. "A public and general round of four rode in breadth, beginning at the road by Jarred Caufield's Bark House, and running up between Robert Hayes' and Captain Johnam's lund, as the way now rund to the top of the hill, then turning the corner along Captain Johnson's
