The Dutch Churches which exist or have existed in this township are Three-Mile Run, 1703-54, when it finally became extinet; Six-Mile Run, 1717 (or pos- sibly 1710); Middlebush, 1834; Griggstown, 1842; Bound Brook, 1846; East Millstone, 1855. A Pres- byterian Church was organized at Kingston before 1800, an Episcopal Church at Bonnd Brook a little later, and a Methodist Church at East Millstone in 1854. There is also a colored Methodist Church of recent origin at South Middlebush.

In compiling the history of these churches we have freely used or changed, abridged, or amplified, as seemed expedient, the language of the "Millstone Centennial" (1866), of Dr. Steele's " Historieal Dis- courses" (1867), and Dr. Messler's "Historical Notes" (1873). Considerable new matter has also been added.

REFORMED (DUTCHI) CHURCHES.

The Church at Threc-Mile Run .- As early as 1703, if not before, we find a church in existence at Three- Mile Run. The people probably also possessed a

building suited to their circumstances. It was a little east of the old graveyard in that locality, and near the residence of Abram J. Voorhees. There are no records of Consistory known to be in existence. In 1703 we find a list of persons subscribing to the amount of .£10 168. 6d. to pay the expenses of a min- ister from Holland, if one could be found willing to locate among them. These families had settled on the Harrison tract and on the Raritan lots, and n few came from beyond the Millstone. Their names are Dolis Ilageman, Tunis Quick, Hendrick Emans, Thomas Court, Jacob Probasco, Nicholas Wyckoff, Aaron L. Draver, Michnel L. Moore, John Schede- man, Nicholas Van Dyke, John Van Houten, William Bennet, Folkerd Van Nostrand, Isaac Bennet, Hen- drick Fanger, Abraham Bennet, Cornelius Peterson, Philip Folkersen, George Anderson, Stophel Probasco, Isaac La Priere, Simon Van Wieklen, Cobes Benat, Garrit Oatman, Lucas Coevert, Brogun Coevert, Wil- liam Van Duyn, John Folkerson, Jost Bennet. The church was not successful in procuring a minister. Rev. Guilliam Bertholf, of Hackensack, N. J., no doubt often officiated.

But not many years passed before it was discovered that a mistake had been made in locating a church at Three-Mile Run. The grouping of the people was at Inian's Ferry and at Six-Mile Run. At both these points the subject of organizing a church was agitated, no doubt as early as 1710. Several meetings seem to have been held concerning this matter; and on April 12, 1717, "in order to prevent disturbance and con- tention, and thereby to establish peace in the church," the following plan was harmoniously adopted :

" That the church built near Abraham Bennet's shall be considered as belonging to the church of Lawrence Brook and on the river; and that the members of the congregation residing in the nelghborhood of six- and Ten-Mlie Runs shall also bulld a church for thenwselves at either of these places, or at some point Intervening, as they may agroo."

It was also determined that the church at the river (New Brunswick) and at Three-Mile Run should each have a Consistory, who should co-operate with each other, and, "notwithstanding these two places of worship, the two congregations shall form one church; and in matters of great importance the two Consistories shall meet as one body." Pieter Kinnie was appointed elder, and Elbert Stoothoff deacon, for that portion of the congregation near Six-Mile Run.

In 1720, Rev. Mr. Frelinghuysen took up his abodo at this place, and no doubt occasionally preached in the building, but the project of maintaining a sepa- rate organization must have been soon abandoned. Nevertheless, with the disaffection excited by the evangelical preaching of Frelinghuysen, an attempt was made in 1729 to revive this church. Francis Harrison in that year circulated a paper, signed by many of the Three-Mile Run congregation, pledging the salary of a Low Dutch Reformed prencher under the Synodical Order of Dort, whom they expected on the issue of their call.

Again, in 1747, when Frelinghuysen was becoming enfeebled by long service, Rev. John Arondeus, of Long Island, came to these parts, and was the cause of no little trouble.

As late as 1867 some old people remembered the remains of the foundation of the Three-Mile Run church. It stood about fifty years.

Six-Mile Run .- The first inhabitants of this locality worshiped at Three-Mile Run, and formed a constitu- ent portion of that congregation. By referring to the history of that church it will be seen that in 1717, " Pieter Kinnie was appointed elder, and Elbert Stoothoff' deacon, for that portion of the congrega- tion that was near Six-Mile Run." As early as 1710 the organization of a church in the neighborhood of Six-Mile Run had been discussed. About 1717 the combined churches of the Raritau and Millstone val- leys united in sending a blank call to Holland. It was filled after two years of waiting, and Rev. Theo- dorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen took the spiritual charge of all the Dutch in Somerset and Middlesex Counties.

Either just before or just after his coming n church edifice was built. It was located on the road running along the south side of the Six-Mile Run, a mile east of the present church. It was a plain building, and resembled a barn more than a church. It was never finished, having simply weather-boarding, a roof, and a ground-floor, and, instead of seats, the people used the chairs from their wagons or else stood during ser- vice. The exact date of its erection cannot now be ascertained, but it was probably soon after the meet- ing in 1717, noticed above. It was, after the Three- Mile Run church, the first in that vicinity, and con- tinued to be the place of publie worship until 1766. It was in this church that Frelinghuysen preached his famous sermon on the earthquake in 1737. The present register of baptisms at Six-Mile Run com- menees in 1787. The minutes of Consistory, with the first register, were burnt in the house of David Nevius, clerk of Consistory, in 1796. The loss is irreparable, and cuts us off from a knowledge of many things in the history of this church previous to this date which might have been important and interesting.

Rev. Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen was born in 1691, at Lingen, in East Friesland, now a province of Hanover, and was educated at his native place under the instruction of Rev. Otto Verbrugge, pro- fessor of theology and Oriental literature. He was ordained to the ministry at the age of twenty-six, and for about two years was the pastor of a church at Embden, in his native country. While thus engaged he received the call from the churches in New Jersey to labor in this destitute field. Failing to secure an assistant, Dominie Frelinghuysen resorted to the ex- pedient of appointing "helpers," after the plan of the apostles. This plan was remarkable in the Dutch Church.

Oct. 18, 1736, a Consistory meeting was held at Raritan, there being a full representation of the four

churches. An address was then resolved upon, to be published to the people of the four churches. This address is given in full in "Our Home," 1873, page 570. The helper appointed for the Six-Mile Church was Elbert Stoothof.

Dominie Frelinghuysen died early in 1748, when he had not yet reached his fifty-seventh year. He is buried, according to all the evidence we can gather, in the old yard of the Six-Mile Run church, and a spot is still pointed out as his last resting-place.

The following names embrace the heads of families in Six-Mile Run during the time of T. J. Freling- huysen : Koert Van Voorhees, Isaac Haenrooncot, J. Perrine, Cornelis Cornel, R. Merril, Peter Schenck, Gerret Veghten, Isaac Symonse, Hendrik Van Dyke, Jakobus Van Voorhees, Tobias Nevius, Aric Van Arsdalen, Jakobus Strycker, Cornelis Van Arsdalen, Abram Van Arsdalen, Jeremias Douty, Theodorus Montfort, Fredrik Van Lieuw, Jan Pijet, Jesse Van Arsdalen, Jochem Gulick, Elbert Stoothof, Cornelis Tunise, Johannes Stryker, Fredrik Ferdon, Jacobus Wyckoff, Abraham Vandoren, Benjamin Tailor, Chris- tofel Van Arsdalen, Martynus Voorhees, Jan Van Voorhees, Nichlos Veghten, Daniel Van Vleet, Sam- uel Polen, Albert Schenk, Lucus Van Voorhees, Mar- ten Polen, Johannis Vonk, John Van Arsdalen, Christ. Davidts, Nys Hagaman, Jan Fyne, Cor. Stothoff, E. Suydam, Johannes Bennet, Cornelis Wyckoff, Alex- ander Beert, Dirck Williamse, Jan Sutphin, Hendrik Schenk.

Upon the death of Mr. Frelinghuysen the churches of New Brunswick and Six-Mile Run formed an eccle- siastical connection for the settlement of a minister who should devote himself entirely to this field. They called Rev. Johannes Leydt, who became the second pastor of the church of Six-Mile Run. He was a Hollander by birth, born in 1718, but the date of his emigration to America is not known. He was form- ally called on Sept. 27, 1748, and soon after regularly ordained and installed.

The Consistories purchased a parsonage with 50 acres of land. This property was located at Three- Mile Run, and is known as the Skillman farm, now in the possession of Isaac W. Pumyea. The old house is still standing, a short distance from the road, in which Mr. Leydt lived during his entire ministry of thirty-five years.

Very shortly after his settlement Mr. Leydt inter- ested himself in procuring a charter from the royal Governor for the churches originally embraced in the charge of Mr. Frelinghuysen. This instrument was obtained under the administration of Jonathan Bel- cher, Esq., Governor-in-Chief of the province of New Jersey, and was executed on the 7th of June, in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of King George II. (1753). The trustees under the charter were Rev. Jo- hannes Leydt and Rev. John Frelinghuysen, with the several members of the Consistories of the five churches. The first meeting of the new corporation

was held at Raritan, Oct. 31, 1753, when Hendrick Fisher, one of the elders of this church, was chosen president of the board, and arrangements made to carry out the provisions of the charter.

About this time the following additional names of families occur : Joseph Folkerse, Benjamin Emans, Johannes Wytneght, Nicholas Boerum, Nicklas Wil- lemse, Lamert Dorlandt, Johannes Pouelse, Gerret Veghten, Nicolas Jonson, Peter Van Zandt, James Pruyn, Abraham Lott, Johannes Vonk, Bergun Bro- ka, Martyies Hooglandt, Cornelius Van Houten, Peter Van Nest, Leffert Waldron, Johannes Van Pelt, Jan Sperling, Rem Gerritse, Jonitan Stout, Jan Vander Veer, Ab. Riemer, Jacobus Leek, Isaac Sned- eker, Hendrick Cortelyou, Peter Berrien, Peter Pum- yea, Jan Harrison, William Van Tilburgh, Petrus Nevius, Jost Duryea, Imrias Van Cleef, Michael Van Buren, Alexander Beert, Ab. Simonson, Jan Terhu- nen, Cor. De Hart, William Dannelsen, Abram Van Doren, Jacobus Vander Voort, Syme Kinne, Jokem Gulick, Cor. Van Harlengen, Joseph Brower, Isaac Suediker, Jonathan Provost, Peter Juricks, Ferdi- naudus Schureman, Johannes Groendyke, Johannes Coevert.

The services in the church of Six-Mile Run were held on each alternate Sabbath, and there was great punctuality in the administration of the ordinances. Mr. Leydt was a very laborious minister, and, while he does not seem to have left any distinct impression of his pulpit talents, he is represented to have been very faithful as a pastor. He took an active part in all the public enterprises of the day, and was one of the prominent movers in the establishment of Queens (now Rutgers) College.

During the pastorate of Leydt, in 1766, Six-Mile Run built a new church and located it in the village, a few yards south of the then existing court-house. It was inclosed with shingles and painted red, except the front, which was white. It was ceiled with boards, and never painted inside. Its roof had four sides, ter- minating in a cupola. It stood until 1817, when it was removed to make room for another edifice.

The ministry of Mr. Leydt was brought to a close by his sudden death, June 2, 1783, in the sixty-fifth year of his age and the thirty-fifth of his pastorate. He preached on Sabbath morning, the day preceding, and was smitten down by paralysis about noon. His funeral was attended from his residence, and he was buried in the yard at Three-Mile Run .* He left two sons, both of whom graduated from Queens College and subsequently entered the ministry. Matthew was pastor of a church in Bucks Co., Pa., and died Nov. 24, 1783. Peter was settled at Ramapo, and

* The graveyard had no connection with the old church at this spot, as it was not used us a place of burlal until some years after the buikling was removed. Mr. Leydt's tombstone stands immediately in front of the gate, with an inscription stating the day of his death and age. llis wife, Treyntje Sleight, died Doc, 2, 1703, aged thirty-six, and is Imirled by his side.

died at that place June 12, 1796. None of the de- seendanty of Mr. Leydt are now living. ITis preach- ing was in the Dutch language, during the early part of his ministry, exclusively; in his latter years he preached in English half the time.

At the close of the Revolution this church and Millstone united in calling John M. Van Harlingen, who continued in the charge, residing in Millstone village, until 1795. After being two years without a pastor, James Spencer Cannon, D.D., in 1797, as- sumed the care of the two churches. In 1807, Mill- stone withdrew from the connection, but he continued with this church until 1826. During Dr. Cannon's ministry (in 1817) a new house of worship was erected on the site of that of 1766. In 1827, Rev. James Romeyn became its pastor, and served for six years, being followed by Rev. Jacob C. Sears in 1833. Ile removed to Six-Mile Run on September 5th of the same year. At the commencement of his ministry the Six-Mile Run congregation had a circumference of not less than 35 miles. It reached from the Am- well road at Middlebush to Cranberry turnpike, and from Three-Mile Run to Rocky Ilill. In this terri- tory several new churches have since been established. During these forty years he admitted to the church 300 on profession of faith and 121 by certificate ; 607 children and 34 adults were baptized, and 346 mar- riages solemnized. He was made pastor emeritus in 1878.

Jan. 7, 1879, the church building, erected in 1817, was burned to the ground. An organ was being placed in the church, and the fire originated in con- nection with that work. A new edifice was at once erected on the same site, and dedicated in December. In the mean time the church had determined to call a colleague to the venerable Dr. Sears. The candi- date Rev. Rivers Taylor (son of Rev. Dr. Wm. J. R. Taylor, of Newark, N. J.) was called in the summer of 1879, and ordained and installed on the same day the church was dedicated. In 1880 there were 130 families, 290 members (being a revised list), and 200 scholars in the Sabbath-school.

Middlebush .- This church was organized March 17, 1834, out of families belonging to the church of New Brunswick. Prior to this it had been an outpost,-a place of entechisation. The edifice was finished in 1834, and Rev. Jacob J. Schultz called from White House and Lebanon to take charge of the new congregation. He continued from 1834 to 1838, when he resigned, in consequence of mental infirmities. He was succeeded in 1838 by Rev. John A. Van Doren, who continued the efficient pastor until 1866. He was subsequently settled at Clinton Station, N. J., 1866-72, and has since resided nt East Millstone.

Rev. George Swaim became the next pastor, and served from 1866-68. Rev. Stephen L. Mershon suc- ceeded, remaining from 1869 until 1874 .*

Rev. James Le Fevre is the present pastor, having entered upon his duties in January, 1875. He is a native of New Paltz, N. Y., and was graduated at Rutgers College in 1854, and at the New Brunswick Seminary in 1857. The church now numbers 100 families, 200 communicants, and 140 children in the Sabbath-school.

The Church of Griggstown .- This church was or- ganized in June, 1842, out of families worshiping previously at Six-Mile Run and Harlingen. The movement grew out of a desire on the part of the people to enjoy the sacred ordinances nearer their homes. The church assumed the title of the " First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Griggstown." The sermon was preached by Rev. A. Messler, of Somerville. The names of the first Consistory were Abraham Perlee, Joseph Cornell, John S. Hoagland, and Rynier P. Staats, elders, and Rynier A. Staats, Garret Wyckoff, Peter Cornell, and Martin N. Gulick, deacons. Immediately the Consistory commenced the erection of a church edifice. It was completed and dedicated Ang. 8, 1843. The sermon was preached by Rev. Jeremiah S. Lord, who had been called as pastor, and on the afternoon of the same day he was ordained and installed. IIe continued to serve until 1847.

Rev. John A. Todd became the second pastor. IIe immediately settled at Griggstown, where he re- mained for seven years, and was succeeded by Rev. Edward P. Livingston, who served for three years, 1855-58. Rev. Stephen Searle served from 1859 to 1873.

Rev. R. G. Williams, a native of Wales, was next called ; Griggstown was his first settlement, 1874-77. Ile was succeeded, in 1878, by Rev. John Preston Searle, son of Rev. Samuel T., and nephew of the preceding pastor of the same name. In December, 1880, he severed his connection with this church, to accept a call to the First Reformed Church of Som- erville. This church now reports 50 families and 161 communicants, with 100 children in the Sabbath- school.

Bound Brook .- This church was formed principally from families who had been connected with the Pres- byterian Church of Bound Brook, with a few from Somerville and Millstone, and was organized on Aug. 20, 1846, in the Franklin school-house. The first Consistory were John Lane, Cornelius Messter, Jacob II. Wyckoff, and Caleb C. Brokaw, elders, and An- drew Todd, Daniel H. Voorhees, Elias B. Van Ars- dale, and Henry C. Brokaw, deacons. It began under excellent auspices, and with sufficient numbers to become at once efficient and self-sustaining. A suit- able building was soon erected. It was dedicated May 10, 1845.

Its first pastor was Rev. George I. Van Neste, a

* His first wife, Mary Talmage, was sister to the Talmage brothers, Revs. James, John, Goyn, and T. Do WII; she died In 1872. A couple of

years after, he consummated a second marriage with the daughter of Rer. James Talmage, but he went from the bridal altar to the alck-bed, and In three days he died,-April 11, 1574.

native of Weston, this county, Bound Brook being his first charge. Here he remained for six years, 1847-53.

Rev. William Demarest became the second pastor, in 1854, and continued for three years. Rev. Henry V. Voorhees, the third pastor, remained about four years, from January, 1858, to 1862.

Rev. Benjamin F. Romaine succeeded. For five years (1842-47) he was editor of the American Spec- tator, at Albany, N. Y. He was settled at Bound Brook from 1862 to 1868, when he removed to Colum- bus, Ohio, and became secretary of the Colonization Society in that State, and died a few years ago. Rev. Jacob C. Dutcher came next. He was settled at Bound Brook for twelve years, 1868-80.

The present pastor is Rev. William E. Lyall. After supplying this church for several months, he was called and installed on May 11, 1880. The church now numbers 69 families and 107 communicants, with 105 children in the Sabbath-school.

East Millstone .- This church grew out of the in- crease of the village on the east side of the Millstone when the Millstone Railroad was built. Three men were most active in securing an organization,- Ernestus Schenck, Dr. Garret Van Doren, and John V. A. Merrill. July 19, 1855, Rev. Mesick, J. A. H. Cornell, William Pitcher, and the elder Jeremiah Whitenack organized the church. It consisted of eighteen members. The first Consistory were Cor- nelins Broach and John V. A. Merrill, elders, and Richard A. Kuhl and John Stines, deacons. Er- nestus Schenck, J. V. A. Merrill, and Peter Wort- man were appointed a building committee. Rev. John Ludlow addressed the people on the laying of the corner-stone, and Rev. J. M. Matthews, of New York, preached the dedication sermon. The entire cost of the lot, building, and bell was $5748.23.

The first pastor, Rev. Giles Vander Wall, was in- stalled July 9, 1856, and the connection was dissolved June 8, 1858. Mr. Wall went subsequently as mis- sionary to South Africa.

Rev. David Cole was called Nov. 23, 1858. He re- mained until April 1, 1863, when he became professor of Latin and Greek in Rutgers College. Rev. Martin L. Berger was called in 1863, and remained until 1866. He was succeeded by Rev. William H. Phraner, from 1866 to 1870. Rev. Alexander Mc- William became the fifth pastor, in 1870, and still continues. He is a native of Scotland, and a gradu- ate from Union College, and the Associate Reformed Seminary at Newburg. The church now reports 75 families and 155 communicants, with 80 children in the Sabbath-school.

PRESBYTERIAN.

The Presbyterian Church of Kingston was estab- lished not later than 1732. It is one of the oldest of that denomination in the State. The building stood near the northeast corner of the cemetery and the

school-house. Before there was a church at Prince- ton the people came from that locality to Kingston to worship. The cemetery has in it tombstones dating back to 1756. The first building was a log cabin. The second edifice was built in 1792; the third in 1852. It is said that a Rev. Thomas Evans officiated here and at Millstone as early as 1737, but this has not been verified.

The following is a list of the ministers from the records of the Presbytery, furnished by Rev. A. L. Armstrong, stated clerk :

1. William Tennent, original member of Presbytery of New Brunswick, organized 1738 ; died 1750.

2. Jacob Van Arsdalen, June 19, 1771 ; relation dissolved Dec. 13, 1775.

3. Stephen Voorhees, Kingston and Assunpink, June 12, 1793; died Nov. 23, 1796 .*

Hilliard, present pastor, 1880.

Rev. Edward Wilson, one of the above, was born in Liverpool, England, in 1820, and came to the United States in 1840. He was licensed in 1846, by the Methodist Episcopal Church in Indiana. The next year he went to England, and occupied various posts of usefulness. In 1869 he returned to America and settled at Metuchen, N. J. He supplied the Methodist Church of East Millstone for three years, and then became pastor of St. James' Methodist Episcopal Church, New Brunswick. He subse- quently joined the Reformed Episcopal Church, and has lately been elected bishop for Canada.
