* From an obituary published in the Hunterdon County Gazette, Jnu. 6, 1830. The " Kirkpatrick Memorial" (page 22) says, "She, after the death of Mr. Sloan, married Gen. WHliam Maxwell, and died in 1829." This Is evidently an error, as Gen. William Maxwell, of the Hunterdon County family of Maxwells, ded a bachelor after the Revolutionary war, in which ho figured.

Dphrunn & Stille

EPHRAIM R. STELLE is descended from Pontius Stelle, of Holland, who settled at an early time in New York. The line of descent from Pontius Stelle is through Benjamin, Isaae, and Oliver to Ephraim R. Stelle.

Benjamin Stelle, son of Pontius Stelle, was born in New York in 1683, and was for twenty years pastor of the Baptist Church of Fiseataway. Isaac succeeded his father in the pastorate of this church, and died after a pastorate of twenty-two years and a ministry of twenty- nine years.

Isaac Stelle's sons were Samuel, Oliver, Joseph, Abel, John, Ambrose, and Benjamin, who lived during the Revolution and took part in the war. Samuel and Oliver settled with their families in Bernard township after the Revolution, and purchased land together at West Milling- ton. Samuel remained but a few years in the country. Oliver married Mary Runyon, and had children-Chris- tian, Ephraim R., Isaac, John, Clarkson, Harriet, Sally, and Ruth. All married and reared families in the town- ship except Ruth, who was married but had no children.

Ephraim R. Stelle was born Nov. 29, 1780; married, Jan. 23, 1805, Hannah Manning, and had children- Elizabeth, born Aug. 25, 1806, married Drake Terrell and reared a family of six children,-viz., Harriet, Mary Ann, Ephraim S., Sarah Jane, Elizabeth, and Margaret Terrell; Sarah Ann Stelle, born Jan. 24, 1809, married William A. Coddington, and has no children ; Mary Stelle, born April 22, 1812; Margaret Stelle, born Feb. 7, 1814, married Charles Smalley, and has children- Anna, Manning S., and Henry C. Smalley ; Jane Stelle, born Feb. 7, 1818, married David D. Tingley, and has children-William G. and David S. Tingley; Isaac Stelle, who died young ; Oliver R. Stelle, born Jan. 29, 1826, married Elizabeth Budd, and had three children, -Ella, born Feb. 5, 1853; Marienna, born Sept. 1, 1854, died Feb. 22, 1878; Ephraim M., born Nov. 28, 1856.

Mrs. Stelle died Aug. 22, 1864, since which time Mr. Stelle has remained a widower,

OLIVER R. STELLE, whose birth, marriage, and family are last given in the above record, is a prominent repre- sentative of the old stock. He is a Democrat in polities, and has taken an active part in the affairs of his town- ship, having served frequently as a member of the town- ship committee, commissioner of appeals, ete., and was trustee of his district for thirteen years. He and his wife and children are all members of the Baptist Church at West Millington, where he has long been associated with the board of trustees, and has been treasurer and chorister of the church since it was founded in 1851. His earnest devotion and exemplary Christian life render him an efficient aid to the cause.

For about twelve years Mr. Stelle has ably filled the place of Sunday-school superintendent. In the first Sunday-school ever organized in the neighborhood he took the part of teacher of three young colored men. A young lady with whom he was intimately acquainted facetiously remarked that he had begun with "rather dark prospects around him," but she hoped he would not be discouraged with "the day of small things." The remark left a deep impression upon his mind. Since then he has worked in every capacity in the Sunday-school up to superintendent.

His Sunday-school, in 1878, presented him with a beautiful floral album inscribed, "To Oliver R. Stelle, from the Teachers and Scholars of West Millington Sunday-School." Following the inscription is this beau- tiful sentiment of the school:

"Our Wish .- May you be enabled to walk hand and hand with Jesus through all life's journey, and find Him in all your joys and sorrows growing each day nearer and dearer, till the shades and sorrows of earth are ex- changed for the light and joy of His presence on high."

Freeman Stelle

FREEMAN STELLE is descended from Pontins Stelle, the first ancestor of the family who came from France ; the line of descent being through Benjamin, his son Isaae, and his son Oliver. The last named was the grandfather of the subject of this sketch.

Oliver Stelle married Mary Runyon. He removed from Piscataway, Middlesex Co., N. J., about 1794. and settled on the farm now owned by Isaac S. Runyon. His children were Christiana, Ephraim, Isaac, Harriet, Ruth, Sarah, John, Anne, Mary, Clarkson, and Rachel. John Stelle, the father of Freeman, was born Dec. 28, 1790. Hle married Ann Kirkpatrick, June 20, 1812, and had children as follows: Jeptha, born June 25, 1814; Jacob K., born Sept. 2, 1816; Freeman, born Jan. 29, 1820; Lewis, born Dee. 30, 1829, died young; Provy, born Jan. 15, 1834, died young.

Freeman Stelle was born and brought up on the place where he now resides, and was bred to the oc- eupation of a farmer, which he has followed through life. Being a diligent student at the common schools he became thoroughly grounded in the rudiments of an English education, and by reading and observation has stored his mind with a large amount of useful knowledge not only relating to his occupation but to the various leading topics of the day. He is a well- informed agriculturist of the prosperous and substan- tial class. All the appointments of his premises show

system and order in the arrangement of his work. He is genial, sociable, and friendly to all with whom he comes in contaet ; honest and upright in all his dealings ; courteons and obliging ; and as a result has hosts of friends, and commands universal respect from his fellow-eitizens.

Mr. and Mrs. Stelle are true representatives of their respective ancestors, who held honored places among the pioneers of the country. They have been mem- bers of the Baptist Church of Millington since its organization in 1851, and he has held the office of deaeon ever sinee. By his exemplary Christian life he has been an ornament to his profession and a " pillar in the church."

He has served his township in various official capacities at the call of his fellow-citizens, having been assessor, freeholder, member of the town com- mittee, ete., and has taken an active part in all local publie enterprises.

On the 20th of April, 1842, Mr. Stelle was united in marriage to Martha R., daughter of David R. Runyon, Esq. She was born at Bonnd Brook, Aug. 29, 1823. Their children are Reune R., born June 26, 1843, married Eliza Dunn, Oct. 16, 1867 ; Sarah K., born March 23, 1845, died Jan. 14, 1875; Esther R., born March 12, 1847, married Aaron D. Thomp- son, Oct. 18, 1871; Abel, horn Oet. 5, 1849, un- married, and lives at home with his parents.

next south of the Methodist church, now occupied by Bennehue Dunham. His father was born on the place now owned by Ezra Dayton, one mile west of Basking Ridge. His mother, Nancy Lewis, was born in the house where Dr. John Dayton now lives. One room of this house is the same as it was one hundred and thirty years ago. There are three bricks in the chimney bearing the following dates: 1750, the time when the house was originally built; 1855, when it was first repaired; and 1870, when it underwent re- pairs the last time.

Rolph Dayton, born in Yorkshire, England, in 1588, immigrated to America in 1639, landing in Boston, where his autograph appears June 4, 1639. He had two sons, Samuel and Robert, born in Eng- land. Rolph Dayton and family moved to East Hampton, L. I., where, in 1649, he "was President and Constable of the place." Robert Dayton, son of Rolph, ancestor of the Daytons of this township, died in 1728, leaving several children, one of whom, Samuel, was born in 1666, at East Hampton, L. I. One of his children was Jonathan, born in 1701, died Oct. 4, 1776. Hle moved and settled at Elizabethtown, N. J., and had three wives, by whom be had ten children. Robert, one of his sons, born in 1742, died May 31, 1814. He married Mary Owen and had eight children. His sons were John, Noah, Levi, Joel, Amos, Bailey, and Jonathan. Joel was the father of William H. Dayton. He married Nancy, daughter of Edward Lewis, Esq. Joel Dayton died May 3, 1833, in the fifty-seventh year of his age, leaving four children, -William L., Alfred D., Maria, and James B. Dayton.

William Lewis Dayton was born in 1811, married Margaret, daughter of Judge Van Derveer, of Somer- ville. He had five children, one of whom, William, is living in Trenton. His son Ferdinand was a sur- geon in the army during the Rebellion, and died soon after the close of the war.

The old homestead where Joch Dayton was born is still in the hands of the Dayton family.

Baily, son of Robert Dayton, was the father of John Dayton, M.D., of Basking Ridge. He had brothers, Edward L., Samuel C. L., and sister Phebe L., all living except Phebe L., wife of William Cooper. Dr. John Dayton married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel S. Doty, M.D.

Henry Southard was one of the old and prominent settlers. His father came from Jamaica, L. I., and settled at Basking Ridge. His son, Samuel L. South- ard, was one of the most distinguished men of New Jersey,-Secretary of the Navy, Governor of the State, justice of the Supreme Court, president of the United States Senate, and acting Vice-President of the United States under Mr. Tyler. He was born at Basking Ridge. Henry Southard, his father, was twenty-one years in Congress. His only daughter married Samuel S. Doty, M.D., father of the present Dr. James Doty, of Basking Ridge. Daniel Doty

was born in New Jersey and served in the Revolution. He was the father of Samuel S. Doty, M.D., one of the leading physicians of the State, who practiced medicine at Basking Ridge nearly forty years.

In addition to physicians who have already been mentioned was Dr. Israel L. Coriell, who practiced here in the early part of the century, who moved to Kingwood, Hunterdon Co., abont the year 1824, and there met a sudden death, in 1829, by being thrown from his sulky .*

" CENTENNIAL REUNION OF THE SMITH FAMILY."

In the north part of the town, about one and a half miles east of Peapack, Zachariah Smith was located at a very early day. This property is now owned by one of his lineal descendants, Peter Z. Smith, and there was held (Sept. 6, 1876) the famous "Smith Picnic," at which were gathered the Smiths, not only of this particular family, but of a host of others, de- scendants of John Henry Smith and Christiana his wife, their childrens' sons and daughters, with those who had joined the great family by marriage. It is estimated there were two thousand five hundred Smiths present from various portions of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, and including a large delega- tion from Morristown. By actual count there were four hundred and eighty-three carriage loads who participated on this festive occasion, the first of any general reunion of the family. A business meeting was there held of which Isaiah Smith was chairman and Abraham Smith secretary. It was resolved to holl an annual pienie in the same grove on the first Wednesday in September of each year. Isaiah Smith was chosen president, Abraham Smith, secretary and treasurer, with the following executive committee : Jacob, Z. Smith, Zachariah Z. Smith, William Z. Smith, Abraham Smith, Oscar Smith, Andrew Cole, Andrew D. Peterson, Peter S. Tiger, Jacob S. Garra- brant, Henry Garrabrant, John Savidge, all of Pea- pack. James A. Cramer and George Hedden, of Morristown ; Ziba S. Smith and Daniel J. Cole, of Mendham; Jacob D. Smith and William P. Smith, of Raritan ; Isaiah Smith, of Milburn; John S. Smith, Iowa ; Isaiah C. Mullen, Bedminster ; Peter Smith, Round Valley; Charles Quimby, Bernards- ville ; Cornelius J. Garrabrant, Flemington; Cor- nelius P. Garrabrant, Brookside; Covert Smith and Oliver C. Smith, of Seneca Co., N. Y.

The business meeting then adjourned and dinner was partaken of. Then followed addresses by Rev. Charles Woodruff and others, with singing by the glee-elub and music by the band, the remainder of the day being given to a pleasant reunion of families and friends. A registry-book, in which the Smiths present registered their names (and their descendants and connections by marriage), contained nine hun- dred names.

SOMERSET COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

CIVIL ORGANIZATION.

Of the early civil affairs of this township we find absolutely no record, not even the date of its organi- zation. The digest of the laws of New Jersey, which usually contains the acts for the erection of townships and the description of their boundaries, contains nothing relating to this township. We have ex- amined the historical collections, the State "Gazet- teer," consulted other works and interrogated the best informed men on the subject with like results. The records of the township itself are lacking for nearly a hundred years of its corporate existence, having been destroyed by fire at Basking Ridge in 1850. The most that we can do under the circumstances is to give a probable or proximate date for the organi- zation of the township and the beginning of its civil or municipal history.

The township was unquestionably named after Gov- ernor Francis Bernard, who superseded President Reading on the 13th of June, 1758, and continued his administration until the 4th of July, 1760. The name would not be likely to be given before he was Governor. The nearest date we have to this, in which " Bernardstown" is mentioned, is 1763. It is the trustees' record of the Presbyterian Church of Bask- ing Ridge, entitled "The Book of the Congregation of Bernardstown, A.D., 1763-1815." This seems to settle the point that the township organization dates somewhere between 1758 and 1763, probably about 1760, at the close of Governor Bernard's administra- tion. We can only add to this brief statement of probabilities the civil list for the time during which the records have been preserved.
