REEVE'S SAW MILL .- The " memory of man run- neth not " back to the time when the old mill on Ca- noe Brook, in the northern part of the township, was built. The "oldlest inhabitant " remembers it as Ezra Baldwin's saw mill. From him it passed to his son, Daniel Baldwin, and from him to his son-in-law, Abner D. Reeve, by whom it was rebuilt farther down the stream about thirty years since. After the death of Abner D. Reeve it was leased by a Mr. Ilidden, who 'introduced machinery for the manufacture of leather boards. The experiment was a financial fail- ure, and the mill was purchased by its present owner, George W. Reeve, the son of Abner D., who recon- verted it into a saw mill.

DREW'S MACHINE SHOP on Church Street, was established by George R. Drew in 1880. It is a re- pair shop, and its machinery is driven by an engine of ten-horse power.

Poor Farm .- Previous to 1875, the plan was pur- sued of farming out the poor of the township. to he cared for by the lowest bidder. Under this plan it was hardly possible to avoid gross abuses, and the di- reet care of the overseer was substituted for that of contractors. This, although an improvement on the previous plan, was attended with difficulties, and in 1879 a farm of sixty-seven acres, on White Oak Ridge, was purchased by the township, and a man was employed to conduct it, and to care for the pappers on it. So successful has this plan proved that the township will soon save in expense more than the cost of the farm, and the paupers are better cared for than ever before. Caleb Van Wert has been in charge of this farm from the time of its purchase to the present.

Millburn in the Civil War .- A large majority of the people in Millburn township were intensely loyal during the war of the Rebellion. An union league of more than one hundred members was established and the township sent to the union armies a large number

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

WELLINGTON CAMPBELL.

The Campbell family are of Scotch antecedents. Thomas Campbell was born in the north of Ireland. Sept. 220, 1769, and married March 11, 1792, to Agnes McFaul, of County Down, Ireland. Their children were Jane, Rebecca, Daniel, Agnes, Thomas, George W., John S., Mary and Wellington. Jane became Mrs. Crocraft; Rebecca, Mrs. Samuel Bradbury ; Agnes, Mrs. Denman ; Mary, MIrs Brundage. Mr. t'ampbell emigrated early in the present century to the United States, and settled in New York State, where he en- gaged in farming. He subsequently leased a mill in Schohurie, N. Y., and embarked in the manufacture of paper. Later he operated a mill in Manchester, Dutchess Co., and in 1817 removed to Essex County, N. J., where he purchased a paper mill and conducted it with success for many years. His son Wellington was born Jan. 24, 1816, in Manchester, Dutchess Co., and removed, when an infant, with his parents to Es- sex County, receiving until twelve years of age such advantages as the common schools offered, after which time he became a pupil of the boarding-school of Ezra Fairchild, at Mendon, N. J., and remained two years under his instruction. He continued his studies at home, and at sixteen, entering his father's mill, ac- quired a thorough knowledge of the process of paper manufacturing. He. in January, 1839, became the lessee of the mill, and managed it successfully until the death of his father, in 1848, when it became his by inheritance. Mr. Campbell kept pace with the times and with the increase of business, introducing steam-power and various modern mechanical inven- tions whereby labor is lightened and the productions of the mill rendered superior in quality, hanging-paper or the stock from which wall-paper is made being made a specialty. He is doubtless the oldest repre- sentative of this manufacturing interest in the State, having been for a period of more than half a century engaged in the business which he still con- duct -. Mr. Campbell was, in 1844, married to Mary T., daughter of thliver Wade, of Springfield, Essex (now U'nion) d'o. Their children are Emily, Hattie W., Charles, Wellington and Mary D. Charles is a partner with his father in the mill, and Wellington a successful physician at Short Hills. Mr. Campbell is in his political predilections a Republican, having for- merly been allied to the Whig party. He has held various local offices, and been active in promoting the

interests of the township, having by his influence se- enred the first post-office within its limits. He was also a zealous supporter of the government during the war, advancing money for the recruiting service and in various ways manifesting his loyalty in critical pe- riods of the country's history. He is a director of the Merchants' Bank of Newark, but not identified with other business interests aside from those at his home, at Short Hills, in Millburn township.

CHAPTER LVI.

THE ORANGES.1

As early as 1658 a settlement was begun upon what was called the " Bergen grant," on which a trading station had been established by the Dutch forty years before. In 1663 a band of Puritans from Long Island obtained permission from the Dutch to plant their institutions on the banks of the Raritan and Minnisink. In the following year some tuaker fami- lies were found on the south side of Raritan Bay. In the same year King Charles the Second, by letters patent under the great seat of England, granted to his brother James, Duke of York, a tract of land stretch- ing from the Connecticut to the Delaware River. Of this extensive grant, the portion now called New Jersey was conveyed the same year, by deeds of lease and release, to John, Lord Berkeley, and Sir George Carteret.

This portion was again divided, in 1676, between Sir George and the assigns of Lord Berkeley, the former taking the eastern part.

Carteret, by his will dated Der. 5. 1678, devised to certain trustees therein named a power to sell East New Jersey, which trust was executed three years after, and the territory became the property of twelve proprietors, and subsequently twenty-four proprietors. who appointed a council of proprietors, to consist of at least one-third of the whole number.

To encourage immigration, Berkeley and Carteret published their "Charters of Concessions," prescrih- ing the rules and methods by which property in their lands should be acquired.

One rule was " That all such persons who should transport themselves into the province within a cer- tain time should be entitled to grants or patents, under the seal of the Province, for certain quantities of land, paying therefor yearly the rent of one half- penny for every acre so to be granted."

Another rule was that all lands should be purchased through the Governor and Council, at the same time recognizing the right of the Indians to compensation.

HISTORY OF ESSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

In August, 1665, Philip Carteret, brother of Sir George, received an appointment from the proprietors as Governor of the colony, and appeared among the tenants of the seattered cabins about Elizabethtown, which was then but a cluster of four houses.

In 1666 the settlement of Newark began by immi- grants from Connecticut, the movement being occa- sioned by dissatisfaction with certain measures attend- ing the union of the New Haven and the Connectiont colonies, of which one of the most obnoxious was the cal privileges, such as the baptism of children to persons not in full communion with the church.

The pioneer company, which comprised about thirty families, came from Milford, Conn., in the spring of 1666, and their first town-meeting held on the 21st of May of that year. Delegates were present from Guil- ford and Branford to assist in the organization, when it was asserted that the great object was "the carrying on of spiritual concernments, as also of civil and town affairs, according to God and godly government," which had ever been the cherished idea of the Puritans.

The settlement at Newark was among the last ex- periments that demonstrated the delusive hope of the okI Puritans, who were greatly wisc in many things, but not in all.

By the Concessions all lands were to be purchased of the Indians by the Governor and Conneil, in the name of the proprietors, and by this understanding the colonists expected to find all Indian claims paci- fied, and the way clear for undisturbed occupancy of the lands as they were needed.

As will be seen by reference to the history of New- ark, whatever difficulties and fears that seemed to inter- vone were soon dispelled, and amicable arrangements were made, the first and second purchases from the Indians promptly ratified, and the settlers allowed to locate in peace.

The second purchase, here alluded to. covers the mountain slope upon which is Llewellyn Park and the fine summer villas of numerous New York business men, and the reader who is acquainted with the location can scarcely imagine that it was once purchased for the nominal sum of " two guns, three roats, and thirteen cans of rum," and probably diluted rum at that.1

The territory thus acquired in the two purchases, by moral right from the native and a legal right from the proprietors, embraced the present Newark City, Clin- ton township, all the Oranges, the townships of Belleville, Franklin, Bloomfield, and Montelair.

For one hundred and forty years did the inhabit- ants of oll Newark live under a single township government, and when the population became so numerous that it began to be an unwieldy multitude to handle, the aid of the State Legislature was invoked,

AN ACT to incorporate a port of the township of Newark, in the county of Emer, into a separate township, to be called the township of Orange. " Passed the 27th day of November, 1806.

"I NE IT ENACTED by the Council and General Assembly of this State, and is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That all that part of the township of Newark, in the county of Essex, lying and bring within the following boundaries, to wit beginning at a spring called the Boiling Spring, OD the land of stephen D. Day, running thence in a straight line southwardly to the bridge in the highway, near David Beck's ; thence running southwardly in a straight line to a bridge in the high- way near Sayres Roberts, in Camptown ; thence southwardly in a straight line to Elizabeth township to the line of springfield township : thence along the same to the line of Caldwell township ; thence along the line of said towinship to a point on the first mountain, called Stephen Crane's Notch ; thence southwardly to Turkry Eagle Rock ; thence eastwardly to a bridge on the highway, near Phineas Crane's ; thence castwardly to a bridge on the highway, between the house of Silas Dod and Nathaniel Dod ; thenre in a straight line to the Boiling Spring, the place of beginning ; shall be, and the same is hereby et off from the township of Newark, and the same is hereby established a separate township, to be called ' the Townslup of Orange.' "

Geography and Topography .- The territory em- bracing what is now known as "The Oranges " was originally : part of the town of Newark, and in 1806 was creeted into a township named Orange. The territory embracing the four Oranges, into which they were subsequently divided by acts of the State Legis- lature, are bounded as follows: northeast by Bloom- field and Montclair townships, southeast by the city of Newark, south by Clinton township and Union County, southwest by Millburn township, northwest by Livingston, and north by Callwell township.

The topography of the Oranges is such that the drainage is exceptionally fine. Between the promi- nent line of hills known as the Orange Mountains, but more technically termed First Mountain and Second Mountain, crossing the northwest part of the territory from northeast to southwest, and the latter forming the northwest boundary line between West Orange and Livingston townships and the low land lying west of the Palisade range, are a series of gentle elevations, not sufficiently well defined to be termed hills, but prominent enough to serve as barriers to standing water; the rainfall is, therefore, shed by these undulations, the streams finding their way into the Passaic on the northeast and Rahway River southwesterly. The result is a perfect system of natural soil-drainage, leaving all parts of the Oranges free from natural dampness, with its malarial effects.

Hygiene .- The Oranges have long enjoyed an enviable reputation for the healthfulness of the locality, and metropolitan physicians in the earlier

heights, therefore its inhabitants are exposed neither to the deadly " chills" which rack so many constitu- tions nor the insidious "lung complaints" begotten so plenteously by a hard, cold climate. The long highland ridges known as the Orange Mountains send down their life-giving currents along the valleys below, and at the same time serve to shichl them from the fierce blasts of midwinter. Hence this retrent affords advantages by which health cannot only be regained, but retained.

PIONEERS OF THE ORANGES.

The settlement on the Passaic River very soon be- gan to spread itself in the direction of what is now the Oranges. The inviting plain between the l'assaie und the mountain could not long remain an uncultivated woodland, with a race of hardy yeomanry growing upon its border. The following are the names of some of those who took up lands and first located in this part of the wilderness :

Aug. 19, 1675, Robert Symon, by warrant, had forty- four acres, "part of his third division on the moun- tain," bounded northwest by the mountain, northeast by lunds of John Baldwin, Sr., southeast by Capt. Samuel Swaine, and southwest by Richard Harrison.

Aug. 25, 1675, Samuel Swaine had forty acres at the foot of the mountain, bounded on the north by John Baldwin, Sr., on the west by Robert Symon and Richard Harrison, on the cast by Richard Harri- son and on the south by the Common.

Sept. 10, 1675, John Baldwin, Sr., had for his third division, forty acres near the mountain, and bounded north by C'apt. Sumnel Swaine and John Catlin, on the east by Richard Harrison, on the south by Johu Ward (distinguished as John Ward, Turner), on the west by the top of the mountain.

The Baldwin Family.' Joseph Baldwin was born about 1640, and died Nov. 21, 1681. His wife was Sarah Cooley, who died in 1689.

Benjamin Baldwin was born in 1642, and married Hannah Sargent.

Jonathan Baldwin was born Feb. 15, 1649, married, first, Hannah Ward, 1603-1693 ; second, Thanktil Strong, and died Dec. 13, 1730.

Benjamin was probably the one that settled in Newark, or what is now South Orange. His children were Benjamin; Jonathan, married Susannah Kit- chell ; Sarah, married Robert Young; Joseph.

Among the children of Jonathan was John, boru
