EARLY LAND TITLES.

At the time when West Jersey was divided into hundredths, James Parker, of Perth Amboy, grand- father of Hon. Cortlandt Parker, was one of the pro- prietors, and got a tract of land in Tewksbury, includ- ing that part west of the New Germantown and Fox Hill road, and running north from Cokesburg and New Germantown to and beyond the Morris county line. From him all the early settlers of that part of the township got their titles. His agent for a long time was Andrew Bartles, of New Germantown.

The Livingstons of New York were, like Parker, proprietors east of the Fox Hill road, and until 1836 rented out their land to residents at a nominal sum.

On the south or east side of the " society line," which passes north of Robert Craig's, being north 42º east, James Logan was the proprietor. It was put out in 100-year leases at first, and afterwards sold.

This "society line" ran from Lamington Falls to the top of Cushetunk Mountain, and was the bound- ary of a section known as the "Society's Great Tract," which the West Jersey Society had surveyed for them about the year 1711 .* Robert Craig, near New Ger- mantown, has a parchment deed in his possession from James Logan to Joseph Smith, bearing date June 1, 1740, bounding on this " society line." There

were several "proprietors" of West Jersey who held lands through the township. Harvey Potter, of Pot- tersville, has a parchment deed bearing date April 27, 1722, conveying 215 acres, part of 1100 acres which belonged to Thomas Wetherill "by virtue of his several shares or parts of proprieties throughout the province of West Jersey, and was taken up by virtue thereof by a warrant from the council of pro- prietors, and surveyed Oct. 27, 1714." It was sold by Thomas Wetherill to James Beck for "£100, current silver money of West Jersey."

Paul A. IIeldebrant bought from Peter R. Fisher, of New Germantown, Livingston's agent; so did Joseph Beavers, Christian Fisher, John Fisher, George A. Tiger, and E. W. Iliff. Ten or twelve dollars an acre was about the price paid by them.

EARLY TAVERNS.

The first hotel in Tewksbury was at New German- town. It occupied the ground where the residence of Mr. John Specht now stands. A very old building is remembered by the oldest citizens as " the old tay- ern," but it was not the first one occupying this site. It was kept by Dr. Cruzier, David Melick, and Wil- liam Farley within the memory of men. John Far- ley purchased it in 1788 "from the trustees of Zion Church, the sale being a perpetual lease, or what was termed a quit-rent."*

The present house was built by Dr. Oliver Barnet in 1800, and was first kept by Daniel Melick. James Honeyman, father of Dr. Honeyman, owned and kept it from 1812 to 1824. Then Peter Fisher kept it over twenty years. After him, Matthias Cramer, one year ; Samuel Clark, from 1846 to 1872; James Large, one year; John R. Clark, seven years; Austin R. Clark, since the spring of 1880.

The hotel at Cokesburg was there over sixty years ago. It was first built and kept by Jolin Farley, uncle to O. W. Farley. John Henry followed him ; then Conrad Apgar. Jacob Apgar next kept it twenty years; then O. W. Farley, twenty years ; Richard Hoffman, two or three; William Melick, two; John Baker, six or seven; John Wickoff, one yenr ; William Wickoff, a few months; Benjamin Wolverton, one year; John Messerole, six months; Asa Alpaugh, the present occupant.

The earliest hotel at Mountainville was twenty-two years ago; Richard Hoffman opened it, but Daniel Potter had built the house long before. A. C. Snyder kept it a year ; Richard Hoffman came back to it a year ; Noah Hoffman kept it five or six years ; Hiram Rittenhouse, a year; Andrew J. Potter, five years ; Jonathan Potter, now (1880) seven years.

Jacob S. Apgar built the hotel at Califon in 1860, and was the first hotel-keeper for two years; then James Anderson, one year ; Richard Hoffman, three years; Isaac Sheetz, one year ; William Reid, three

years; George Beavers, three ; Morris Eick, one year ; Charles Bowlby, six years.

Where J. V. Welsh now lives Jesse Gray kept a hotel from 1823 to 1830. There has been none there since. A hotel was kept from about 1838 to 1842 or 1843 at the distillery. about a mile from Fairmount, but was then discontinued.

PHYSICIANS.

Oliver Barnet was the first physician in Tewksbury. He came to New Germantown from Orange in 1765, at the age of twenty-two, and began his professional career. He soon acquired a large practice, purchased from Tunis Melick the property long known as Barnet Hall,-now owned by Peter W. Melick,-became the most prominent man in the region, and died in 1809, at the age of sixty-six.

Isaac Ogden, his brother-in-law, graduate of the College of New Jersey in 1784 and physician at White House, came to New Germantown about 1800, when his family first appears in Lamington church. At Dr. Barnet's death he took charge of his estate, which he managed for his sister, and relinquished the prac- tice in favor of his nephew, Oliver Wayne Ogden, who had married a Miss Wisner, a niece of Dr. Bar- net, and succeeded to his practice. "Dr. Wayne," as he was ealled, soon removed to Perth Amboy, but returned to New Germantown and succeeded to the estate of Dr. Barnet by inheritance.

His cousin, William Barnet, another nephew of Dr. Oliver, commenced practice at New Germantown. He died in early life.

John Honeyman was the successor of Oliver Wayne Ogden. (For personal sketches of him and others see chapter on " Medical Profession of Hunterdon.")

Dr. John S. Linaberry, the first physician at Mountainville, is in practice still.

FIRST MILLS, ETC.

The first mill in the township was built by Ralph Smith, where Peter W. Melick now lives, before 1762. He sold it to Tunis Melick, who in turn sold to Dr. Barnet soon after 1765. The mills on the Rockaway now owned by John Lane were built very early and called Thompson's mills. In 1755 they were called Johnson's mills.t There was a distillery very early on Dr. Dusenbury's grounds in New Germantown, built probably near the same time. Aaron Sutton built a mill at Califon, on the Lebanon side of the river, be- fore 1800. Old John Sutton built the first mill at Fairmount. It was an old mill in 1811. It was re- built by Jacob T. Philhower in 1860. Cokesburg Furnace was built 1754. There was also a Hackle- barney Forge near the Falls of Lamington, now l'ot- tersville. There was a mill on the Lamington, on the property next to that now owned by William Sutton, built by a Mr. Van Dyke, and called Van Dyke's

mill, in the last century. It was torn down sixty or sixty-five years ago, and rebuilt about three hundred yards below as a still-house on the Somerset County side. There were mills at Pottersville very early.

The earliest road from New Germantown to Fox Hill was about half a mile east of the present turn- pike, and was probably one of the first in the town- ship. It still exists. The earliest on record is " from Fox Hill to Hugh McCan's mill, and down the river to the fording-place," June 23, 1756.

Feb. 15, 1762, a road was relaid from Ralph Smith's mill to the Allamatunk bridge. The first record of the appointment of overseers is in 1757. Nov. 12, 1787, a road was laid from a corner of the field of David Jones, adjoining the Potterstown road, through the woods, and so down the Rockaway to James Par- ker's saw-mill. The road up the Rockaway Creek is probably as old as the township. There was a very old road from Califon to Cokesburg.

In 1811 the New Germantown Turnpike Company was chartered and organized. It was a toll-road twelve or fifteen years, and then made over to the township.

ORGANIZATION.

Tewksbury township was organized in 1755. In 1832 fifteen acres were set off to it from Readington. In 1844 the township was set off from Hunterdon to Somerset County. In 1845 it was reannexed to Hun- terdon.

FIRST TOWN-MEETING.

The following minute is the first found in the town- ship-book :

" TEWKSBURY, March 11, 1755.

"Pursuant to a patent granted for the said township by His Excellency Jonathan Belcher, Esq., our Excellent Governor, the town met at the school-house and made choice of the following persons for town officers for the current year,-viz., Ralph Smith, Town Clerk ; Cornelius Skio- ner and John Smith, Freeholders ; William Bay, Assessor, sword ; Chris- topher Beakman, Collector, sworn ; John McCarty and John Rose, Sur- veyors of Road ; Henry Smith, William Barth, Tunis Eike, William 01- bah, Overseers of the Road; Patrick Brown and Thomas Harris, Over- seers of the Poor; Jonas Melick, Constable, sword.

"The towa voted that they would pay the tax at three places where the collector should advertise to meet them ; that the assessor should be allowed forty shillings for assessing the town ; that the patent should be paid for out of the surplusage of the money raised on the town, if so much shall remain after the tax shall be paid the county collector, which was paid in the year 1756."
