THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF HOLLAND

was organized Nov. 14, 1850. Its membership at its organization was 20. Its first trustees were John Bloom, John Thomson, John H. Johnson, Benjamin Snyder, and Michael Fraley ; first elders, Benjamin Snyder and Jesse Sinclair; first pastor, Rev. J. H. Sherwood.

The present organization is : Ruling Elders, Jesse Sinclair, John D. Bloom, Peter Snyder, Stephen Ben- net; Pastor, Rev. I. M. Paterson ; Trustees, Michael Fraley, Peter Snyder, George W. Hager, Duillius Vanderbelt, Jonas Rapp, John Snyder, aud Simeon D. Sinclair. Membership, 80.

THIE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHI OF MOUNT PLEASANT; was organized by or before 1752. In the records of the New Brunswick Presbytery it was called " Beth- lehem on the Delaware," and "The Western Branch" ot Bethlehem. Bethlehem township then included the territory of the present Alexandria and Holland.

At a meeting of the Presbytery of New Brunswick held at Trenton, Oct. 11, 1763, this church was spoken of as the "log meeting-house" congregation. This

log meeting-house, we are informed by reliable tradi- tions, was located in the village, on or very near the place where Mr. Sylvester Martin's barn now stands. At this period it is presumable the church was occu- pied by two societies,-the l'resbyterian and the Ger- man Reformed, the latter using the German language in their worship. In 1768 the German congregation was associated with the churches of Rockaway, Ger- man Valley, and Foxenburg," under the pastoral care of Rev. Mr. Dalliker ( Delacour ?).

The old log meeting-house, and also its location, were abandoned for a new house in 1795. This was in the old part of the present cemetery, directly oppo- site to the centre gate. It was a frame, and commonly known as the new frame meeting-honse in Alexan- dria. The land for the church and burying-ground was purchased of Aaron Vansyekel and John Eckel, and conveyed by them to the "Trustees of the said Church and Congregation, known as the Dutch and English Presbyterian Church and Congregation of Alexandria."

May 18, 1802, the German Reformed Synod then in session in Philadelphia, at the request of the German congregation through their pastor, set over the said church and congregation to the care of the Presby- tery of New Brunswick, and the two branches of this congregation became united.

This house was used for worship until 1843, when the present edifice was erected. It stands on the op- posite side of the road, on land purchased of Peter Bloom, Sr. The frame of the old building was re- moved to Little York in 1844, reinelosed, and fitted up for a house of worship for the convenience of the northwestern part of the congregation. It is used as an outpost of the Mount Pleasant Church in which service is held every alternate Sabbath by the pastor.

The Rev. Thomas Lewis was the pastor or supply of the English branch of this congregation in 1752-53. How much, if any, longer we cannot ascertain, as the records of the New Brunswick Presbytery at this period are not very full. The Dutch branch was probably supplied most of the time by the pastors in charge at German Valley.

The Rev. John Hanna supplied the English con- gregation, worshiping at the log meeting-house, from about May, 1760, until his death, Nov. - t, 1801. Rev. Holloway W. Hunt followed, and continued for forty years ; he resigned in 1842. Rev. Robert W. Landis was next in charge for two years. His successor was Rev. Henry B. Elliot, 1844-46. In the spring of 1846 the Rev. Cornelius S. Conkling accepted a call and labored until February, 1871, when the present incumbent, the Rev. Nathan S. Aller, assumed the ministerial charge.

VILLAGES.

MILFORD,-From manuscript field-notes of a sur- vey by Elisha Emley, about 1757, it is seen that there

was a saw-mill 3 chains above the mouth of the Wis- sahawken Creek. To whom this belonged or when erected we have no means of ascertaining. It was probably a rude structure and of brief duration.

John Duckworth, a very aged citizen of Milford, recently passed away, remembered back to the period when there was no village at that place. The first grist-mill was built on piles about the middle of where the pond now is. This mill was burned, and the place took the name of " Burnt Mills." In a deed of conveyance made in 1805 by Thomas Lowrey the ervek is called the " Burnt Mill Creek," and the land sold the "Burnt Mill Farm." Mr. Lowrey purchased the old site of " Burnt Mills," and it was afterwards called Lowreytown. He built, in 1796-97, for a resi- cience for himself, the edifice since used for a hotel, and known as the Gibson House. His wife not liking the situation, he then built the house now occupied by Edward Thomas.

Mr. Lowreyt erected the first flouring-mill by the river-side, which he commenced in 1798 and finished in 1800. His mill and the saw-mill adjoining were put up on contraet by Thomas Elieott.

Soon after the building of the mills by the river a saw-mill was put up by Julius Foster. About 1803 or 1804 the place began to be called Milford .; It then had, besides the mills mentioned, but three dwellings and a store. In 1805, Mr. Lowrey sold the two saw-mills and part of the land to Jacob Honsel, a son-in-law, and James and Thomas Alexander. In 1810 his exeentors, A. D. Woodruff and Dr. William McGill, conveyed the flouring-mill and balance of the land (reserving one house for the widow ) to Jacob Honsel. This property was sold from him in 1822 by the sheriff, and purchased by Aaron Vansyekel. It subsequently passed through various hands, and in 1853 came into the possession of its present owners, Wilson and Edward Thomas.

In 1833, Wilson Housel, son of Jacob, rebuilt the saw-mill, which had been first built in 1798, and at his death it was bought, in 1857, by the present owners, W. & E. Thomas, and again rebuilt in 1869. The flouring-mill was also replaced with the present structure by Mordecai Thomas in 1849. It contains six run of burrs, and has a water-power of thirty-one feet fall on a lasting stream.

While these changes have been occurring relative to the mills, the village has grown slowly but steadily in size and importance. It now has three churches, four stores, two hotels, two grist-mills, one saw-mill, one drug-store, one hardware-store, one tin-and-slove store, two cabinet-makers' shops, one carriage-shop, two blacksmith-shops, a post-office, and a railroad depot.

notes of Robert Emley, 1747, he speaks of "the road to Petit's Mill." This mill had probably been built and occupied by a tenant, or by a party who had Io- cated on land for which he had obtained no title or lease. In a letter in the writer's possession, of Sir Robert Barker's to his attorney, William McAdam, Esq., of New York, dated "Spring Gardens, Oct. 3, 1775," he says,-

" With regard to the purchase of the mill by Mr. Richie, you are the best judge. I think, if I may be allowed to form auy idea at this dis- tauce, he has some claim of preference."

We have no means at hand by which to prove to a certainty that this relates to Petit's Mill, but think it does.

Mr. Jacob R. Anderson, the present owner of the Spring Mills property, says that William Godley pur- chased of John Cooley in 1790, and in 1793 took down an old rickety mill, "and in digging out the foundation discovered where there had been a mill previous to the one he took down." Mr. Anderson has these facts from Mr. Augustus Godley, a son of the above-mentioned William Godley.

A few years afterwards Mr. Godley built a saw-mill also. In 1835, Mr. Augustus Godley, who had inher- ited the property, took down both the grist- and the saw-mill, and erected a large stone mill. In 1852, Mr. Anderson, the present proprietor, bought the mill-property and 163 acres. April 14, 1861, the mill was burned, but rebuilt the same year on the old foundation. Mr. Anderson is a grandson of Jacob Anderson, a captain of State troops in the Revolu- tionary army.

MOUNT JOY is an extension of Riegelsville, on the Hunterdon County side of Musconetcong Creek. It has one store and two saw-mills.

AMSTERDAM is a hamlet at the northwest side of Gravel Hill. A shoe-shop, carpenter-shop, and saw- mill comprise its places of business.

SMITH'S HOTEL.

A mile and a half above Milford, on the line of the Belvidere Delaware Railroad, stands an old building which fifty years ago was kept as a hotel. The pro- prietor was James Smith. He had thirteen children, -six sons and seven daughters,-all of whom are still living. At this time (1880) the youngest is forty- seven years old, and the eldest about seventy.

THIE WARREN MANUFACTURING COMPANY is a joint stock company, organized for the manufac- ture of manilla paper. It is located near Hughes- ville, and has a capital of $40,000. Its factory was commenced in 1872, and completed in August of the following year. Its daily product is five tons of ma- nilla paper.

KNIFE-FACTORY AT FINESVILLE.

About the close of last century Philip Fine built a saw-mill, oil-mill, and flour-mill on the south side of Musconetcong Creek, at Finesville. The saw- and

oil-mills went into disuse nearly half a century ago. After the decease of Philip Fine the flour-mill was continued by his son. In November, 1860, two-thirds of the property was purchased by Amos Davis, Cyrus Lawall, William Lawall, Tobias Worman, and Cyrus Stover, who converted it into a paper-mill, and used it as such until near 1869, when it was sold to Fred- eric S. Taylor, Augustus Bunsby, and Francis Stiles, who changed it into a knife-manufactory. It is still used in this department of industry. The firm-name is Taylor, Stiles & Co.

CALVIN'S FERRY.

Among some old manuscripts the following is found :

"Upon application made to us, the Surveyors of the Roads for the Townships of Bethlehem, Kingwood, and Amwell, for the Alteration of a Certain fonr Rod Road that ruus from Colvin's Ferry, on Delaware River, Toward Everitts' Mill,; and we have called to our assistance Six More Surveyors of the Ajacent County of Sussex, According to Law made and Provided, and all Mett Together, this 24 day of August, 1759, and Upon a Vew of the said Road, and a Deleberate Consideration thereou, have thought Reasonable the said Road Should be Alter'd," etc.

Various documents we have seen convince us that in 1759 the ferry at Frenchtown was called Calvin's. In Erskine's map, used in the Revolutionary army, 1778-80, this crossing is called Sherrerd's Ferry. At a later period it was called Erwin's Ferry, and still later Prevost's Ferry.

OTHER EARLY FERRIES.

According to Faden's map, 1777, the road came down Deep Hollow 50 yards above where Forman Hawk's barn now stands, and ran directly across the valley to the river at a point one mile below Milford. Here was a crossing marked on the map as " London Ferry."

For many years previous to the building of the Milford Delaware bridge, in 1841, there was a ferry at Milford known successively as Lowreytown Ferry, Burnt Mills Ferry, and Milford Ferry.

The ferry opposite the village of Monroe, Pa., is, probably, as old as the Durham, Pa., furnace, which is quite near, and was built in 1727-28. It is desig- nated on Faden's map, 1777, as Pursley (Purcell) Ferry. For many years it has been known as John- son's Ferry.

A half-mile above the preceding is Stillwell's Ferry, also called Brink's. It is opposite Durham Cave, Pa. This ferry is probably as old as the pre- ceding.

"Shank's Ferry" dates back to an early colonial period. It was contemporary, or nearly so, with the two preceding. It has been superseded by the Rie- gelsville Delaware bridge.

the summit, is a small cavern called the "Tory Den." It is formed by a large overhanging rock with projec- tions on two sides; one side was walled up with stone, so that it furnished quite a comfortable shelter.

There is a tradition of the neighborhood that in the Revolutionary war (probably 1776-77) a small de- tachment of marauding soldiers passed through Greenwich, closely pursned by Capt. John Maxwell's company, as far as Shank's Ferry, where they eluded their pursuers. They then passed a short distance up the Musconctrong valley, ascended the mountain, and concealed themselves in this rocky retreat. Here they wintered, being clandestinely fed and cared for by some neighboring Tories. From this circumstance the place was called by the patriots of that section the "Tory Den," which name it still retains.

OLD BURYING-GROUND.

About 150 yards south of the manufactory of Tay- lor, Stiles & Co., at Finesville, on land of John L. Riegel, there was an old burying-ground. Only one gravestone now remains, and that is broken in four pieces, lying by an apple-tree since grown there. The stone has the following inscription :

" In Memory of Elizabeth, Daughter of Moses and Sarah Yamans, who Departed this life October 14th, A.D. 1778, Aged one Venr and Nine Months."

The name, Yamans, so far as known to the writer, no longer occurs in Alexandria or Holland.

SKETCH OF THE SINCLAIR FAMILY."

Peter Cincleare (Sinclair) was a native of Germany, and emigrated to America about 1750. He brought with him his wife, Elizabeth, two sons, John and Peter, and one daughter Mary. Peter was born 1719, and died 1784; Elizabeth, his wife, was born 1724, and died 1798. Their remains lie in St. James' Lu- theran churchyard, Greenwich, N. J.

His son John was born in Germany, Nov. 12, 1743, and came with his father to America in 1750. lle subsequently married Anna Alpaugh, and became the owner of 220 acres of land on the Musconetcong Mountain, probably before the Revolution. Feb. 1}, 1799, his house was destroyed by fire, at which time all deeds and papers were lost. The house was re- built the same year, a part of which still stands, and is owned and occupied by Simeon D. Sinclair. It is a Ing structure.

John Sinclair died Sept. 1, 1821, leaving nine chil- dren,-Peter, born 1781; William, 1786; John, 1789; Reuben, 1790; Samuel, 1791; Elizabeth, 1794; An, 1796; Mary, 1799; Jesse, 1802. Of these last named, Samuel Sinclair had five children,-three sons and two daughters.

One of these sons, Jesse, had eight children, only three of whom are living. The Sinclairs are numer- ous, being now found in almost every State in the Union.

THE VAN SYCKEL FAMILY.

The following sketch of the Alexandria and Hol- land branches of the Van Syekel family from the first to the sixth generation is compiled principally front Dr. John W. Van Sickel's " History of the Family in the United States:"

First Generation .- Forlenandun Van Sycklin, the primogenitor of the Van Syckel family in this country, was born in the Netherlands, about the year 1635. He emigrated to America in 1652.

TINSMAN'S SAW MILL.t

Tinsman's saw-mill is a short distance below Rie- gelsville. It was first erected about 1812 by Henry Quinn, who emigrated to this country from Ireland.

He afterwards built a grist-mill at the same place. These mills were destroyed by fire in 1848. The fol- lowing year the saw-mill was rebuilt by John L. Rie- gel, Thomas P. Tinsman, and George Quinn. It is now the property of Thomas P. Tinsman.

RIEGEL'S SAW-MILL.

Thomas Purcell came to Alexandria from Durbam township, Bucks Co., Pa. He is believed to have been the first settler at Monroe, in Durham (John- son's Ferry), and is said to have built, in 1780, the

first house in that place. This house was afterwards, and is still, kept as a tavern. He also built a saw- mill, grist-mill, and blacksmith-shop, and established a ferry across the Delaware. In 1793 he came to New Jersey, having purchased 212 acres of land on the south side of the Musconeteong Creek, near its mouth. He built a saw-mill, now owned by Isaac T. Riegel, on this property. Purcell, soon after, also built another saw-mill on the same property, half a mile above the former. This property was bought by Benjamin Riegel, and the latter mill has since been taken down.

FRANKLIN .*

· GEOGRAPHICAL.

FRANKLIN is a central township of Hunterdon County. It is bounded north by Clinton borough ; northeast by Clinton township, from which it is sep- arated by the South Branch of the Raritan; south- east by Raritan and Delaware; southwest by King- wood; northwest by Alexandria and Union. Its form is rhomboidal, its southeastern and southwestern boundaries being straight lines meeting obliquely. Its longest diagonal is about nine miles : its shortest, about six. It has a farm area of 14,449 acres.

The act to establish the township has this pro- vision :

" Be it enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey, That all that part of the township of Kingwood, in the county of Hunterdon, lying north of a line to begin at a stone standing in the Kingwood and Delaware line, io the great road near Elisha Warford's farm, and from thence in a straight line to the Alexandria and King- wood line, in the middle of the great road, opposite the school-house near the Episcopal church known by the name of St. Thomas' Church, shall be, and the same is hereby. set off from the said township of King- wood into a separate township, to be called and known by the name of the township of Franklin."

This has been slightly modified by the aet incorpo- rating the borough of Clinton, as noticed elsewhere.

Two streams important for their water-power, the Capoolon and the Lacatong, have their sources within its borders. The Capoolon rises in the north- west corner of the township, takes an east-by-north- east course, and empties into the South Branch. The Lackatong (in old deeds called the Laokolong) rises below Quakertown, and flows southwesterly through Kingwood and Delaware into the Delaware River.

NATURAL FEATURES.

The township presents no very striking scenery, yet it has a diversity of rich and highly-cultivated farm- ing districts. The surface is level in the southern part, rolling or hilly in the northern. The soil is fer-

tile, producing abundantly all the grains common to this latitude. Fruits are largely grown. Peaches have lately become a leading production.

Franklin may still be considered a well-timbered district. Oak, hickory, maple, and chestnut grow plentifully, thus contributing to the general wealth.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

Just when the lands were first taken up and who were the first settlers are questions wanting a satis- factory answer. That Franklin was a Quaker settle- ment is undisputed, and that portions of it were set- tled soon after 1700 is evident; but exactly when and by whom may, perhaps, never be known.

The last will and testament of George Hutchinson, of Philadelphia, hearing date April 29, 1698, be- queathed to his daughter Rachel 1000 acres of land near Quakertown, evidently lying to the west; a part at least of the Laing property was included in it. She died childless, and her nephew, George Hutchin- son, fell heir to the property ; he sold it to James Bollen in 1716. In 1723 it was sold to John Tantom, who in 1742 willed it to his three daughters, Mary Murfin, Anne Hughlings, and Sarah Lovett. These heirs caused a division to be made, and the land was subsequently sold in parcels.

In 1729, Jacob Doughty bought 1212 acres, extend- ing from Oak Grove to Quakertown. This land was bought of Mathews Gardiner, who had inherited it from his father, hy whom it had been taken up as a "proprietary right." From this tract Doughty sold various parcels, as elsewhere seen. His son Daniel finally came into possession of what had not been other- wise conveyed. The original owners, the Gardiners, do not seem ever to have occupied the land.

Among the early landowners were George Deacon, once owner of the Large homestead; John Emley, who owned several hundred acres of land west of the southern part of Doughty's purchase; John Coats,

whose land, afterwards sold to Samuel Schooley, joined the Doughty traet on the cast in 1730. Amos Strettle seems to have been quite an extensive land- owner at that time, having purchased a large tract, partly within the borders of Franklin, of Alexander Seaton, of County Down, Ireland, by indenture bear- ing date 1702, the same having been purchased of Maurice Trent and Chester Allen, who had purchased it of Edward Byllinge and trustees, Penn, Lucas, and Lawrie, in 1680. In 1731, Edward Rockhill, “far- mer in Bethlehem," bought "one whole propriety, Yx and 3 of one propriety." This land was in two tracts, one about Pittstown and the other southwest of Oak Grove, described as "timber swamp." In all there were 846 acres, costing £102. Charles Hoff was an extensive landholder as early as 1758. He lived at Pittstown, then called " Hoff's," where he kept a shop, and afterwards, in 1764, carried on milling. John Stevenson bought 200 acres east of the Doughty tract in 1727.

At a later day Joseph and Jeremiah King counted their acres by the thousand in the lower part of the township; their land lay in what is known as the " (irrat Swamp."

It is said that the Friends selected the vicinity of Quakertown on account of the richness of the soil, the beauty of its situation, and the absence of forests, the Jast, as is usually the case in new countries, being con- sidered a great advantage to the settler. Tradition tells of a time, scarcely more than a hundred years ago, when Quakertown coukl be seen from Oak Grove across a country that afterwards became densely wooded. Be this as it may, the early deeds, by sel- dom describing any forest or timber-land, seem to bear testimony to the openness of the county. Much of the timbered portion has been cleared off' within the past thirty or forty years, but some large and val- uable pieces of woodland still remain.
