At this time (1880) the subject of erecting a new church edifice in Everittstown is under consideration.

MOUNT SALEM METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH

is located about two miles northwest of Pittstown, on the Hickory Road,-the dividing line between Alex- andria and Union townships. About 1838 a society was organized in that neighborhood, and met for wor- ship at private houses. The Rev. Manning Force encouraged this little band to build a church. David Dilts, a man of some prominence in the community, offered to give the land for the church lot. He also circulated a subscription for necessary funds. Amos Opdyke, Daniel Jones, Thomas Mechling, and Rev. Robert Smith, a local preacher, co-operated with him. A title for the land having been obtained and a requi- site sum of money subscribed, a huilding committee, consisting of Rev. Mauning Force, Daniel Jones, and Rev. Robert Smith, was appointed. The house was a plain structure, 23 by 33 feet. It was completed and dedicated, free from debt, in 1846. The name Mount Salem was given to it by the pastor in charge

at its dedication, Rev. Mr. Force, in compliment to David Dilts, and in allusion to "David's mount of old." It was connected with Clinton Circuit, which at that time comprised several churches. Among the pastors of that period were Revs. George Banghart, John Fort, E. H. Stokes, Charles E. Walton, David Graves, J. C. McCormick, J. N. Crane, Samuel M. Stiles, John F. Dodd, and M. M. Fogg, a supply. In the spring of 1858, by authority of the Newark Con- ference, Mount Salem Church was associated with Union, Norton, and Pattenburg Churches. This ar- rangement was continued till 1864, when it was dis- connected from these and associated with Quakertown Church.

From the period of its organization the congrega- tion and the membership gradually increased. In a few years the house was too small to accommodate the people, and a larger one was deemed necessary. In 1864 a new board of trustees was elected, consisting of Hiram Mechling, Hiram Stout, William Taylor, John H. Cooley, Henry Maxwell, Thomas Mechling, and William McClary, and funds were raised for the enterprise. A building committee, composed of Rev .. J. B. Heward, pastor in charge, John H. Cooley, and William Taylor, was appointed. The contract was. taken by Eli Bosenbury, of Clinton, and by the close of the year the new house was completed. The edifice. presents a neat and pleasing appearance. Its size is 36 by 52 feet, with ceiling 20 feet high. Its cost was. $3600. It was dedicated in February, 1865. Its pas- tors since that period have been :

1864-65, Rev. J. B. Ileward; 1866-68, Rev. Mathew F. Swaim ; 1869-70,. Rev. J. Mead; 1871-73, Rev. Peter D. Day ; 1874-76, Rev. G. W. Hor- ton ; 1877-78, Rev. Daniel Halleron ; 1879, Rev. Thomas E. Gordon ;. 1880-81, Rev. Charles E. Walton.

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF LITTLE YORK+

is an outgrowth of the Milford Christian Church, as. will be seen by the following extracts from the records :

"At a regular Quarterly Meeting of the First Christian Clinch in. Milford, holden in their house of worship, on the first day of January,. 1842, the following resolution was introduced and nnanimously adopted :

" Resolved, That this church approve the organization of such of its- members as reside in the vicinity of Finesville and Pattenburg into branches of this church, that they may conduct monthly fellowship, and other social religious meetings among themselves, receive and labor with their members ; but not in such a manner as to set aside or in any way to interfere with their particular membership with this church.

" Agreeably to the above resolution, the members residing in the. vicinity of Puttenburgh were properly organized and acknowledged a Branch of the First Christian Church in Milford on this 24th day of Foby., 1842, by Elder I. C. Goff.

" Rev. WM. BRADLEY, Preacher in charge. "JOHN C. WAGONER, Clerk. " GEORGE G. LUNGER, Treasurer."

In 1844 they built a plain, substantial stone church, about 54 by 32 feet, costing about $4000, and appointed Nathan Dawes, Higgons Harrison, Joseph Hoppock, T. I'. Forman, and G. V. Alpaugh trustees.

June 22, 1850, the Pattenburg branch of the Milford Christian Church was constituted an independent.

VILLAGES AND HAMLETS.

EVERITT'S MILL, EVERITTSTOWN .- We find Ev- eritt's Mill mentioned in a survey of a road made in 1759, leading from Calvin's Ferry, on the Delaware River," to the former place. And in 1766, in a re- survey made by Dr. John Rockhill, of the farm southwest of the present village, including the ground now occupied by it, it is spoken of as having been previously conveyed by deed from James l'arker to Samuel and William Everitt. There was no village at that time, and the site of the mill was probably in- eluded in the purchase. A principal thoroughfare, leading from Hofl'st to Durham Ferry, passed by this mill. This and the road leading to the river at Cal- vin's Ferry were among the earliest in this section. Samuel Everitt was an ensign in Capt. Groendyke's company, Second Ilunterdon Regiment.

The farm is described as "the same Plantation Whereon John Dilts now Dwells," and the house is located, on the draught accompanying the survey, a few yards from the corner, at the junction of the Frenchtown road. There was a blacksmith-shop there also.

The property remained in possession of the Everitt family until about the beginning of the present cen- tury, when it passed into the hands of Abram La Rue. His son Isaac built the hotel, and also an oil-mill below the village. His successor was Samuel Case, the father of Dr. Henry Holcombe's wife. The old mill-probably the second on that site-was taken clown in 1855, and the present one, a large and expen- sive structure, erected in its place by Dr. Holcombe.

The village has, in addition, a post-office, a school- house, two store-houses, one tavern, one blacksmith- shop, one tailor-shop, and about twenty-five dwell- ings.

PALMYRA is one mile east of Everittstown. How it came by its classic name we have never learned.

Many years ago, in colonial times, when there was no public-house at Everitt's Mill, nor anywhere else in that section, a man by the name of Samuel Powers -so we are told by Mr. Charles Van Camp-built a log house at that place and kept tavern in it. Powers was a blacksmith, and had a shop also. The militia- trainings were held there for some years. After Powers the tavern was kept by Henry Apgar, and, about 1770 to nenr 1800, by Samuel Arnwine. Precisely when the first log house was replaced by a better one we

cannot ascertain. Early in this century the tavern was kept by Peter Slout, then by Eli Hoppock. About 1830, Hoppock was succeeded by Peter Slout, the former occupant. The house of this period is re- membered by the writer : it was one story, of stone. After Slout, it was kept for a year or two by John Trimmer. It was then purchased and kept by Charles Van Camp, present proprietor. About 1840-50 it was occupied by Elijah Mettler, son-in-law of Van Camp. Since that period it has not been used as a public- housc.

Charles Van Camp, the present proprietor of l'al- myra, is an aged citizen of about ninety-three. He is of' Revolutionary stock by both parents. His grand- father, John Van Campen, was a drummer, belonging to the State troops in the Revolutionary service, and his maternal grandfather was Joshua Furman, a pri- vate in the same service, in Capt. Tucker's company, cte. Van Campen lived and died where G. Washing- ton Hotf now lives, near St. Thomas' church, and Furman spent his later years and died where John S. Burd now lives, in the same neighborhood.

NISHISACKAWAY# is a hamlet and grist-mill, one mile east of Everittstown. A saw-mill was first erected by Luther Opdyke in 1798. The following ycar he built a grist-mill. The old stone dwelling was erected in 1800. Hall Opdyke succeeded to the proprietorship on the death of his father. After his decease, in 1844, it was purchased by Wholston Van- derbelt, who in 1846 built the present mill. It now belongs to John M. Wilson, together with the other buildings which comprise the hamlet. It is on a branch of the Nishisackaway Creek, from which it took its name.

MOUNT PLEASANT is a thrifty-looking village, sit- uated about equidistant from the northeast and southwest corners of the township, and on the west- ern boundary adjoins Holland. The general and township elections are held here. The village has a post-office, two stores, a mill, tavern, blacksmith- shop, and wheelwright-shop. There is a Presbyterian church in the upper part. Opposite is a large and carefully-kept cemetery. The church is on the Hol- land side of the township line. The grist-mill is the second in that locality. The first was built of logs, in colonial times, by John Sherrerd, or Shered. The one now standing was erected about 1838, by John Warne and John Eckel. It is on a branch of the llakcahawka.

LITTLE YORK is located on one of the branches of the Wissahawken Creek, in the northwestern part of the township. It has three churches,-Methodist, Presbyterian, and I'mitarian,-two stores, two mills, one tavern, two blacksmith-shops, and one wheel- wright-shop.

This village was so named about 1828. For some time previous, we are informed by Mr. John Apgar,

· Frenchtown.

it was known as "Pokano." It acquired this unique cognomen from the incident of a fireman by the name of Hicks, employed in Joseph King's distillery, taking a hot poker from his furnace and striking the Irish workmen on their noses as a punishment.

HICKORY TAVERN.

March 7, 1767, John Stevens and James Parker, by their attorney, John Emley, leased to John Farns- worth and Adonijah Farnsworth 150 acres, "includ- ing 50 of clear land," for the term of seven years, for the rent of five shillings a year. The tenants, in addition to the five shillings' rent, agreed " to build a Good Logg house 28 foot by 22, a good Cellar under the Whole to be Walled with Stones ; build a good Kit- chen, . . . a good Logg Barn and Stables," etc. This "Logg house" was the first Hickory Tavern. The signboard was fastened up in a hickory-tree; hence the name.

July 24, 1769, " John Farnsworth, of the township of Alexandria, tavernkeeper," sold his lease of the " New Hickory Tavern" to Spencer Carter, of the township of Lebanon, for £81.

About 1800 the log building was superseded by a large frame house, which was erected for a tavern by Peter Van Syckel. He kept it until his death, Feb. 12, 1830.

Peter Van Syckel's son succeeded his father for about two years, when he also died. It was then kept successively by John Kephart, Isaac Bennet, Matthias Fishbaugh, and John Bunn. It was dis- continued as a public-house about twelve to fifteen years ago.

The " Hickory" was a place of considerable note in colonial times. It was on "the King's Highway,"

leading from the forks of the Delaware to the central and lower parts of Hunterdon, and the iron from the furnace near Bloomsbury was transported over this road to Hoff's forge, at what in later times became Pittstown. From Pittstown to Bloomsbury it has been known, since the Revolution, as the Hickory Road.

HOLLAND.+

ILOLLAND was first set off from Alexandria in 1874. March 4, 1876, it was set back ; March 5, 1879, it was sct off a second time by act of the Legislature.

It is bounded west by the Delaware River; north by the Musconetcong Creek; east and southeast by the township of Alexandria. The dividing line be- twcen Holland and Alexandria is as follows :

Begins at the Warren county line, in the Musconetcong Creck; thence along the Bethlehem township line to lands of John Phillips and Philip Hawk; thence sonthwesterly In a line of John Phillips and Philip Hawk to the middle of the public road leading from Bloomsbury to Lit- tle York ; thenco southwesterly, following the road and creek, to the mill-pond of Peter Uhlor; thence along the middle of the public road to Mount Pleasant, opposito to the residence of Edward Hunt, deceased; thence along the road leading to Frenchtown to the intersection of the road leading from Everittstown to Milford, at " Point of Rocks"; thence

westerly, following the public road leading to Forman Hawk's barn till it intersects the road leading from Frenchtown to Milford; theoce north 120 yarde to the middle of a creek coming from Dark Hollow; thence westerly along said creek to the Delaware River.

The area of the township is 14,651 acres, and the value of its taxable property, $1,199,559 ; population, 1886.

INDIAN FIELDS .- MOSES TOTAMY.

On the southern slope of Gravel Hill, near the sum- mit, are three old fields called "Indian fields." This

locality is traditional Indian ground. It was proba- bly the site of a village, or a favorite place for coun- cils. The early settlers found a number of nnburied skulls lying near the bottom of the hill, and there was a tradition that a battle had been fought there between two native tribes.

" Milford" (District No. 26) boasts of having had There is another tradition, -of how much credibility we can not determine,-that Moses Totamy, a Dela- ware sachem, was born near this place, and lived here until he was a young man, when he changed his home to " Totamy's Plantation," at Marble Mountain, some three and a half miles above Phillipsburg. Totamy Falls, in the Delaware River, is near that place. Moses Totamy represented the mountain Indians in three school-buildings. The first was erected in 1810. and stood on the hill three-fourths of a mile northeast of the village. This was a frame 18 by 22 feet. The name of William Chamberlain is given as a teacher in this place. The second was built on grounds be- longing to the Presbyterian church, and was a two- story building, 24 by 48 fect. Date of its erection not given. The third and present school-house was the great council held at the forks of the Delaware in | built in 1867, a substantial two-story stone edifice, 34 by 58 feet, and divided into four rooms. Cost of erec- tion, not including grounds, $4900. Present teacher (1880), Mr. Vannatta. Number of children, 194; public money, $594.33.

1758. He was also, with Stephen Calvin and Isaac Stille ( Indians ), interpreter of the Delaware language at the same council. He was the father of William Totamy, who was interpreter for Rev. David Brainerd, a missionary among the Indians in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

SCHOOLS.

" Mount Pleasant" ( District No. 25) was in opera- tion prior to 1790. The house stood near the Milford road when Stephen Gano was teaching, and John Bloom (since deceased ) was a pupil. This building was abandoned about 1800; a new house was built near where the church now stands, and was then called the Kingston school. This was taught by a Mr. Bowlby, and later by Samuel Cooley. In 1833 it was sold to Nathaniel Wright, and by him moved to his mills, near Little York, and used as a horse-stable. The same year another house was created on the same

site, 22 feet square. The teachers are R. S. Hop- pock, Mr. Morgan, Samuel Dean, T. R. Galvan, and John Roger; the trustees, William Bunn, Rus- ling Hoppock, and Philip Hunt. Number of schol- ars, 80 ; public money, $32-1.60.

The first house in "Mount Joy" (District No. 19) was put up in 1829, a frame, 20 feet square. The present house occupies the same ground and is two stories, one only being used for school purposes. This is 22 by 32 feet. Philip Lippincott was the first teacher ; Edward Middagh, 1874-75, for three years ; C. E. Clifton, 1877-78; Charles Erwin and Linnie Burwell, 1879-80; present teacher, I. W. Emans, from Washington, N. J. The present trustees are I. E. Buck, J. M. Smith, and S. M. Wolfinger, district clerk. Number of children, 109; public money, $333.92.

In "Spring Mill-" (District No. 21) a small log house, about 300 yards from the present building, was the first school-house in this district. The year of its erection is not known, but it is believed to have dated baek to the Revolution. Its history, and that of those which succeeded it down to the present house, cannot be ascertained. The present building was erected in 1875. The lot was bought of the heirs of William Vliet. The house is of brick, and cost, including the ground, $2200. The present trustees are Jacob R. Anderson, district clerk, William T. Purcell, and George Snyder. Teachers: 1875-76, F. S. Cressman; 1876-77, Benjamin F. Seavers; 1877-78, Rosling S. Hoppock; 1878-79, F. F. Angle; 1879-80, William B. Condit ; 1880-81, Daniel R. Warne. Number of children, 66 ; public money, $320.29. The first teacher of whom there is any remembrance was John Mc- Glouchan.

" Holland" ( District No. 20) has had four different houses. The first of logs, dating back to the Revolu- tion, is said to have stood near the place now orcupied by its third successor, the building now in use, erected in 1862. It is 24 by 36 feet, two story, but one floor only occupied by the school. Teacher in 1876, Francis D. Raub.+ Number of children, $1; public money, $324.91.

* In 1878 the township of Holland was set back to Alexandria ; In 1879 it was, u second time, erected into a township.

HUNTERDON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

" Hawk's" (District No. 23) dates back to 1825, when a log building was standing about half a mile from the present house. Samuel Dunn taught therein. In 1850 the present house was built, and has seating capacity for about thirty scholars. The names of teachers, as furnished by P. L. Hawk, Esq., the pres- ent district clerk, are Russell Hoppock, William Young, Emeline Meritt, Hannah Stene, Sally Ma- hony, J. W. Opdyke, Livingston Dalrymple, Mary Alshouse, Sally Osmun, May Garrison, Ella Aller, Mr. Vanderbelt, Gussie Anderson. The present teacher is Josie Slyker. Number of children, 45; public money, $313.84.

"Millersville" (District No. 22) is one of the small- est, but it had a school-house as carly as 1811. It was 16 by 20 feet, of logs, and John Bullis was the first teacher. The present house was built in 1856, of stone. Number of children, 48; public money, $314.46.

CHURCHES.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF MILFORD

was built in 1833. Henry Chamberlain was a leader in the enterprise. At its organization it had seven- teen members, and Mr. Chamberlain was installed as ruling elder. Rev. Mr. Henshaw occupied the pulpit as missionary, or stated supply, by appointment of Presbytery for about three years; after him, Rev. John McNair, for two years, in connection with the Presbyterian Church of Kingwood.

The first pastor was the Rev. Joseph Campbell, D.D., pastor of the church in Hackettstown for more than thirty years. His term of service at this place was closed by death, about two years later. He was succeeded by the Rev. J. H. Sherwood, who labored successfully for over twelve years. He died in 1854, after a short illness. Over his grave the congregation erected a monument to testify their respect for his memory.

The succeeding pastors were Revs. P. A. Studdi- ford, D.D., now of Lambertville, N. J., 1856-60; James Lewers, 1860-65; A. H. Sloat, 1865-67 ; John Burrows, 1868-73. The present incumbent, Rev. Isaac M. Patterson, began his pastorate in 1873.

Since its organization this church has enrolled nearly 500 members. The Presbyterian Church of Holland is an outgrowth.

In 1868 the congregation removed the old building and erected the present edifice, which is a handsome stone structure capable of seating about 600. The parsonage, also, is a neat, commodions building.

George Carpenter, who officiated as a ruling elder for more than forty years, died in 1875. The present elders are Edward Ilunt, Peter Eckel, Levi Ulmer, and Jacob Cooley.

THIE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF MILFORD was erected in 1855, and dedicated by the Rev. Mr. Ryan, of Philadelphia. It was included in the As- bury Circuit, and as carly as 1832 such ministerial

services were given as the preachers of that cirenit could bestow in connection with their regular charges.

This church has always been associated with some other charge. From 1855-58 it was connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church of Frenchtown; 1858- 59, with Little York; 1866-68, with Frenchtown; 1868-77, with Everittstown and Little York; 1877- 80, with Frenchtown.
