Hexamer's Battery, known in the army roster as Battery A, First New Jersey Artillery, Capt. Wil- liam Hexamer, was mustered into the service Ang. 12, 1861, at Hoboken, where the battery was re- cruited, which place it left eight days after for Wash- ington.


The first battle in which the battery was engaged was that of West Point, Va., May 7, 1861, where it displayed great gallantry, receiving the highest encomiums. It was next engaged at Mechanicsville, before Richmond, May 31, 1861. June 27th it was in the battle of Gaines' Mills. Upon the withelrawal of the army to Harrison's Landing, the battery went into camp, where it remained until August 26th, when it embarked for Alexandria, and was on the right of Kearny's division in the fight of Chantilly. It was also in the battle of Antietam, Md., Sept. 17, 1862, where it performed excellent service. From that tune forward Hexamer's was one of the most famous Batteries during the war, performing hercu- Jean feats upon several hard-fought battle-fields. Composed largely of tiermans, in whose breasts the love of liberty amounted to a passion, it fought from first to last with a heroism, a loftiness of purpose and a spirit of noble consecration which none, among all the volunteer organizations of the war, ever surpassed, and its survivors, in whatever spheres of action they may now be employed, may well wear their scars with pride, and rejoice in the memories of their ser- vices as in hid treasure.

CHAPTER XXIV.


PIONEER ROADS AND BRIDGES IN HUDSON COUNTY; TRAVELING FACILITIES OF VE OLDEN TIME .!


IT is with difficulty we can bring our minds to a realization that but little more than two centuries ago the two counties of Essex and Hudson, now terming with busy life, and numbering its hundreds of thou- sands of population, were entirely destitute of roads or highways other than were bridle-paths or Indian tracks, traversed by the aboriginals in going to or from the trading posts established by the Dutch settlers in old Bergen.


The first road laid out by Europeans within the limits of New Jersey with which the Dutch at New Amsterdam communicated with the settlements on the Delaware was little more than a foot-path, and so continued for many years, affording facilities to horsemen and pedestrians only, until the Legislature, in 1675 and 1676, adopted some general regulations for the opening of roads, Highways and streets were provided for in the concessions of 1664, but these related to cities and towns, without provision for communication with distant points. The first wagon road of which there is any record ran from Communi- paw to Bergen by the route now known as Communi- paw and Palisade Avenues. This was in existence as early as 1679.


In March, Jix2, the Governor, Council and deputies passed an act for "making and setting of highways, passages, landings, bridges and ferries fit and apt for traveling passages and landing of goods," and ap- pointed the first commissioners of highways of which there is any record. The commissioners appointed for Bergen were Capt. John Berry, Laurence Andross, Enoch Machillson, Hance Dederick, Michael Smith, Hendrick Van Ashtrum, and Clause Janson Vansar- murant. In 1694 vacancies were filled by the appoint- ment of the Governor, the surveyor-general, Capt.

HISTORY OF HUDSON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.


William Lawrence, Hendrick Epkee, Lawrence Law- rence, Enoch MeChilson, Edward Earl, Jr., John Adrian, Sr., and Capt. tiarabrant Clawson.


For Essex, the commissioners named in the first. quoted law were the Governor and Deputy-Governor for the time being, the surveyor-general, Capt. John Palm r. Capt. Wilham Sandford, Benjamin Price, Isaac Kingsland, Henry Lyon, Benjamin Parkis, Thomas Johnston and John t'urtis, and by the suc- eeeding appointment, Maj. Isaac King-land, Elias MeChilson, Claus Johnson Romain, Capt. John Cur- tice, Azariah t'rane, John Treat, Benjamin Meeker, Aaron Thompson and Benjamin Ogden.


These commissioners, the orthography of whose names is preserved as found in a printed volume of the laws of those years in the library of the New Jersey Historical Society, had full power to set, lay out and appoint public highways in and throughout their respective counties, and similar commissions were formed for Monmouth and Middlesex Counties, which embraced all the remainder of the province. Under their management local roads were improved, and a post route was established about 1693. Tu 1698 a public wagon-road was ordered from Perth Amboy to West Jersey and Pennsylvania, for the convenience of travel from New York and New England. Be- tween Perth Amboy and New York the transit was made in small, inconvenient boats, called periaugers, and the journey was attended with more peril and anxiety than a trip nowadays across the Atlantic. One Dellaman was permitted by Governor Hamilton to drive a wagon on the Amboy road, and enjoyed the first monopoly of transporting goods and passen- gers between New York and Philadelphia. This was one of the grievances complained of by the Assembly in 1707 in their memorial to Lord Corn- bury, as " destructive to that freedom which trade and commerce ought to have." The despotie Gover- nor in his reply defendel the exclusive privileges complained of on the ground that by the patent "everybody is sure once a fortnight to have an op- portunity of sending any quantity of goods, great or small, at reasonable rates, without being in danger of being imposed upon." The wagon continned its trade to and from Philadelphia, Burlington, Amboy and New York until Lord Cornbury's recall, in 1710.


The grand jury of tach county was authorized in 1704 to appoint two persons in each county, precinct, district or township to perform the duties thereto- fore devolving upon the commissioners, and from this art the present mode of controlling roads by sur- veyors of highways owes its origin.


A road from Bergen Point, through the town of Bergen, and thence to the Hudson River, had been laid prior to 1764, for in that year the old road was vacated, and a "king's highway " was laid out to the point opposite Staten Island, and in this year a stage route from the landing at Bergen Point to Paulus Hook was established. The stage connected with a


boat running to Blazing Star landing, in Woodbridge, whence the passengers were conveyed to Philadelphia in covered wagons, with the seats set on springs, which were modestly called " Flying machines." These stage-wagons conveyed the passengers from New York to Philadelphia in two days during the sum- mer and three days in the winter.


By an act of June 28, 1766, Ephraim Ferrill, Jon- athan Hampton, John Halsted, Matthias William- son and John Blanchard were authorized to lay out a new road, four rods wide, from the southwesterly point of Bergen, along up Newark Bay as far as they might think convenient, and from thence to and over Paulus Hook to low water mark on Hudson's River ; said road to be maintained by the county, excepting that part of the said road up Newark Bay until it intersected the road previously laid out by the sur- veyors of the highways, which was to be kept in repair by the owners of the ferry at Bergen Point, and that part lying between the uplands of Ahasi- mus and the uplands of Paulus Hook, which was to be thereafter " and for ever " kept in good and sufli- cient repair by the owners of the ferry at Paulus Hook. In 1797 a repealer was passed making the highway subject to vacation or alteration by the sur- veyors of highways.


In 1765 the Legislature ordered a road four rods wide to be laid out from the lower end of the Great Neck, at Newark, beginning at the upland of Abner Ward, on the road by the meadow edge, at the south- west corner of the meadow of Joseph Rogers, and from thence running along the line of said Joseph Rogers, south sixty-eight degrees and thirty minutes cast, thirty-five chains to Passaic River at low-water mark. It then continued on the south side of a small crock, on a course south sixty-three degrees and fifteen minutes east, sixty-six chains to the Hackensack River at low-water mark, and thence on the east side of the Hackensack, near a creek called Post's Creek, continuing its breadth of four rods to the public road leading from Bergen Point to Paulus Hook. The trustees of this road were David Ogden, Daniel Pier- son, Joseph Hedden, Jr., Caleb Camp, Uzal Ward, Joseph Rogers, Jr., and Thomas Brown, who also had charge of the ferries over the two rivers. They were authorized to raise by subscriptions or donations a sum not exceeding five thousand pounds, to defray the expenses of making the road and crecting the necessary ferries, causeways and buildings. In this act we find further legislative authority for dead- heading in the following proviso : "That no ferriage be taken from his Excellency the Governor of this colony for the time being, for himself, his retinuc, horses and carriages, on passing the ferries hereby established."


The art authorizing the erection of bridges over the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers was passed Nov. 24, 1790, and Samuel Tuthill, of Morristown, Col. John Neilson, of New Brunswick, Robert T. Kimble, of


PIONEER ROADS AND BRIDGES IN HUDSON COUNTY.

Newark, and William Maxwell and John Pintard, of New York, were appointed commissioners to alter the route of the road to some more convenient place, and to locate and erect the bridges over the two rivers with draws not less than twenty-four feet wide. These commissioners were authorized to purchase the ferries and to make the rates of toll, and it was declared un- lawful for any other persons to erect a bridge over the Passaic between the month of that river and the place where Second River emption itself, or nerons the Jack- ensack between its mouth and Kingsland Creek. On the same day an net was parked granting power to the commissioners to erect a lottery for the purpose of raising a fund of four thousand dollars to defray the expenses of carrying into effect the good purposes intended in and by suid act. In 1794 the time allotted for the completion of the bridges was extended wix months, and u further delay wir occasioned the fol- lowing year by a mistake made by the surveyors in making their return of the road, which was reme- died by a supplemental act. In the following year legislation was obtained by which the amount to be raised by a lottery was increased to twenty-seven thousand pounds, of which two thousand pounds we're to be paid to the State for the purpose of pro- viding suitable buildings for the Legislature, five thousand pounds towards building the bridge acrone the Raritan River, and the balance to be used by the commissioners in completing their roud and bridges,


In February, 1792, the commissioners acting for the State proved to Sarouel Ogden and thirty-ix other persons the privileges and franchise conferred by the charter, and the bridgen were completed in 1795. On the 7th of March, 1797, the Legislature incorporated Res. l'zal Ogden, Moves Ogden, Samuel Ogden, Lewis Ogden, t'hurles Ogden, Philip Kearny, Elisha Boudinot, Samuel Baldwin, George W. Burnet. Arent 1 .. Schuyler, Robert Watts, Daniel Ludlow, Robert T. Kemble, Franels B. Winthrop, John C. Shaw, Thomas Maraton, Peter Kemble, Daniel Bad- cock, Nicholas Gouverneur, Harman Le Roy, Israel Canfield, James H. Kip, Cornellus Ray, William Bayard, Hercules D. Bize and Joseph Kingsland, by the name of " The Proprietors of the Bridges over the rivers Pasnie and Hackensack." Rev. Vzal Ogden was made president, Samuel Baldwin secretary and Charles Ogden treasurer of the corporation. There proprietors and their successors claimed a monopoly of the right of building bridges over the two rivers, which has since been the soures of several hard-fought battles In the courts.


The roud constructed was what is now known as the Old Turnpike rond through Eust Newark, und the bridges bullt spanned the rivers where this road tromses them.


The old route through Bergen was once the ground now occupied by the Plunk-Road Company.


The courses denerlhed In the accompanying map are the several routes proposed to lead to different stations


on the rivers, at one of which it was judged most ad- rantageous to erect the bridges. The distance from Newark Court-House to Powles' Hook, by the several routes, is as follows :

On Feb. 17, 1794, commissioners were authorized to lay out a road from the ferry at Hoboken to intersect at Four Corners the road already laid between the Hackensack River and Paulus Ilook.


A road from Weehawken ferry to what is now known as English Neighborhood was laid in 1718. a part of which is now covered by the Hackensack turn- pike.


Another road laid out at an early period, and of which there is no recorded date, was constructed from Ahasimus to Bergen, by way of Prior's mill. The road was widened out and improved in 1753.


The road recently known as the Bergen Point plank-road was laid out in 1799. Its course was from the intersection of Waverly Avenue and the new road to Bergen Point.


On Nov. 22, 1802, an act was passed authorizing John Cumming, David D. Crane and John Dodd as commissioners to lay ont a four-rod road from the great road leading from Newark to Paulus Hook to Nathaniel Budd's dock and ferry, between Paulus Houk and Hoboken ferries, where Budd had lately erected a new ferry stairs and dock ; to be maintained at the sole expense of N. Budd, his heirs or assigns.


The Newark Turnpike was anthorized by an act of the Legislature Dec. 11, 1804, which incorpo- rated John N. Cumming, John Dodd, Alexander (. Mc Whorter, Silas Condit, David D. Crane, and their future associates and sucre-sors, by the name of the Newark Turnpike Company for the purpose of erecting and maintaining a turnpike road from the west line of the associates of the New Jersey Com- pany (now Warren Street. Jersey ('ity) to the eastern abutment of the bridge over the Hackensack River, ou the then existing road as far as the intersection of the Bergen road, near the house of Nathaniel Budd, after which it was allowed to deviate so far as to conform to the blocks and streets laid out upon Harsimus; but this requirement was disregarded, and the road was laid diagonally across the blocks. The capital stock was limited to ten thousand dollars for each mileofroad, and the charter was to continue for ninety-nine years.


The law authorized the Governor to subscribe for the State any number of shares not exceeding two hundred and fifty, and on Dec. 3, 1801, a further act authorized the Governor to draw from the treasury the sum of twelve thousand five hundred dollars for the purpose of carrying the law into effect and meet- ing the expenditure of the ensuing year. The fran- chise was subsequently acquired by the bridge pro- prictors, and in November, 1832, the New Jersey


Railroad and Transportation Company purchased the lease of the proprietors, and this company for years thereafter controlled not only the railroad traffic, but the only turnpike road between Jersey City and New- ark.


Newark Plank-Road .- On the 24th of February, 1849, an act incorporating the Newark Plank-Road and Ferry Company was passed. The company was authorized to build a plank-road from Newark to the Hudson River, and to run ferry-hoats across the Pas- saie and Hackensack Rivers. The right to bridge the rivers belonged exclusively to the railroad company, under its lease from the bridge proprietors, and there- fore the new company had to resort to a ferry in crossing the two streams. The New Jersey Railroad Company bitterly opposed this charter, but failed in their efforts, and to prevent them from get- ting control of it, a clause was inserted in the act prohibiting any other incorporated company from controlling directly or indirectly the new company's stock; but this was subsequently repealed. More- over, each stockholder of the Plank-Road Company was required to sign an agreement to first offer his stock, shouldl he desire to sell it, to the board of di- rectors. But in spite of these precautions, the rail- road company succeeded in buying up more than half of the plank-road stock.


In March, 1852, the Plank-Road Company was authorized to build a bridge over the Hackensack River, provided the holders of the lease from the bridge proprietors would consent, and in 1855 a like act concerning a bridge over the Passaic was passed.


The New Jersey Railroad Company, which controlled the bridges, at last gave its consent, and the bridges were built, and shortly afterwards the railroad com- pany became the owners.


Under the authority of an act of 1875, the corpo- rate existence of the bridge company was extended in 1879 for fifty years, or until the 220 of April, 1929, carrying with it the exclusive privileges which pre- vent any other citizens from building bridges over llackensack or Passaic Rivers. The president of the company is Mr. A. L. Dennis ; Mr. Charles P. Thurs- ton was for many years the secretary and treasurer, but recently resigned, and Mr. Warren E. Dennis was elected to fill the vacancy.


The Schuyler Road was constructed by l'ol. Schuy- ler to facilitate transportation of ore from the copper mines opened by his father, and was probably laid out about 1755. An act was passed Sept. 26, 1772, the preamble of which recites that


"Many of the inhabitants of the Founties of Every and Bergen have, by their partition, set forth that a certain highway through a cedar swamp and over the meadows and marches on New Barlad ne Sock to Jakonsark River is very woeful and will be greatly beneficial to the in- habitants of the northern parte of Surrex, Morris and Eaux, in passing to and from New York by Paulus Monk ; and that Col. John Schuyler. at his own private expense, huth, at great charge, erected a causeway of cedar logs through the said swamp and meadows upwards of three miles in length, and built proper bridges at upwards of three thousand pounds expense; and said road will be in danger of Being destroyed by fire un-
