The Sunday-school was reorganized Oct. 1, 1879. It has now 35 scholars and 8 teachers. F. I. Dibbell is the superintendent, and C. W. Thomas the libra- rian.

The corner-stone was laid Dec. 26, 1861, by the Rt. Rev. William H. Odenheimer. The edifice was com- pleted in January, 1863, at a cost of about $2000. On the 26th of August, 1862, the building committee entered into a contract with Mr. James N. Voorhees, of Plainfield, N. J., to ereet a frame building on the already existing stone foundation, which was con- pleted by him in January, 1863. The above facts are from parish register.

AFRICAN METHODIST CHURCH AT MIDDLEBUSII.

This congregation bought a building at South Mid- ellebush, Sept. 4, 1876, and were duly organized into a church on Sept. 20th, with Rev. R. Fauset as pastor, and Francis Van Dyke, Samuel S. Garretson, Lewis Sehenek, and William Opdyke as trustees. Mr. Fan- set served three years. In 1879 he was succeeded by Rev. Thomas A. Cuff, the present pastor. The church has 45 members and a Sabbath-school with 32 scholars and 5 teachers.

Another small African church exists at Ten-Mile Run.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH OF EAST MILLSTONE.

This church, erceted at East Millstone in 1864, was at first under charge of Rev. John Rodgers, of New Brunswick, and his curates, Rev. Mr. Nederhouse, Rev. Mr. Mezlington, and Rev. Mr. Lynch, during the first six years of its existence. It was enlarged about 1870. Afterwards it was supplied by the priests of Raritan,-viz., Rev. Mr. Keader, 1870-74; Rev. Mr. Marshall, 1874-76 ; and Rev. Mr. Zimmer, for six months. It has been served by Rev. Mr. Vanden Bo- gart, of Bound Brook, since 1876, who is the present incumbent.

Franklin township has also been the birthplace of a large number of clergymen. The following is a list (for full biographies, particulars, und character- ization see Corwin's " Manual of the Dutch Re- formed Church" and Messler's " Historical Notes") : John Frelinghuysen, Theodore Frelinghuysen, Ja- cobus Frelinghuysen, Ferdinandus Frelinghuysen, Henricus Frelinghuysen, Garret I.

CEMETERIES.

Only one Indian burying-ground can now be iden- tified. It is at the mouth of the One-Mile Run, near Raritan Landing. In a survey of an ancient line between the lots of Inians and Bainbridge, it is de- seribed as commencing at the bank of the Raritan, in an " Indian burying-ground."

Almost all the old families had places of sepulture on their farms; occasionally several-as when a com- pany purchased land together-would use a common plot. The first burial-place was probably that on the Middlebush road, south of the church. The burying- ground of the Van Doren family was begun in 1743; in 1836 the title passed to the church. There is a brick-walled family yard between Bound Brook and Weston, opposite the mouth of the Millstone River. The Elm Ridge Cemetery, used largely by the people of Six-Mile Run, is just over the line, in Middlesex, as is also the cemetery at Three-Mile Run. There is also a graveyard a little north of Griggstown, used by the inhabitants of that locality. Another yard exists on the farm of II. Van Doren, between Franklin Park and Blackwell's. Another is found on the farm of J. Veghte, near Pleasant Plains school. An old yard also exists at Weston, near the canal. Other family plots no doubt exist, but they are unknown to the writer.

At East Millstone is the largest cemetery in the township. It is known as the "Cedar Hill Cemetery," and was started in 1859. It is owned by a stock com- pany, which, under the title of the "Cedar Hill Cemetery Association," was incorporated in 1859 by Ernestus Schenck. Joseph Howell, John V. A. Merrill, John V. D. Hoagland, Joseph H. Olcott, Peter N. Beekman, and Peter P. Wortman, "and such other persons ns are now their associates, or shall hereafter become associated with them." The size of the ceme- tery is limited to ten acres. The business is con- ducted by a board of seven managers. The lands of the association, and the burial-lots made out of the same, are to be forever exempt from taxation. No street or road can be laid through the cemetery with- out the consent of the association.

THE MILLSTONE BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIA- TION

was organized March 1, 1871, under an act of the Legislature approved Feb. 28, 18-19. Its members pay $I per month upon each share, upon which they are entitled to borrow of the association $200; this precise sum is called " a loan." If a loan is awarded to a member at a premium of 5 per cent., he receives $190, but pays interest on $200. This feature is legal- ized by the Legislature, so that it shall not be deemed usurious. The first officers were : President, Adrian

THE FRANKLIN FARMERS' MUTUAL FIRE ASSUR- ANCE ASSOCIATION

was incorporated May 26, 1879, by John M. Garret- son, Peter S. Ditmars, Peter N. Van Nuys, Ditmars Coe, Peter J. Staats, Andrew T. Vroom, James Z. Bergen, Is. V. C. Wyckoff, Isaac L. Voorhees, Peter W. Wikoff, James A. Van Nuys, Matthew Suydam, and Ralph Voorhees; its general place of meeting is East Millstone. The company insures dwellings and other buildings, household goods, and personal property against loss or damage by fire or lightning. The amount of premium notes actually given in at its organization was $5000. It was to begin business on June 2, 1879, or as soon as the agreements for insur- ance reached the sum of $150,000. The company is to cease on June 2d, 1909.

INDUSTRIES.

Agriculture is the principal business of Franklin township, which contains 322 farms.

Formerly there was considerable distillation carried on in this township, but now very little. Isaac Davis for many years manufactured whisky and cider on the place now owned by Nelson Staats. Isaac Brokaw carried on the same business on the same place after Davis died. When the canal was built, in 1832, the still-house was taken down.

There was also a still-house at Weston owned by John M. Bayard. It stood opposite the present grist-mill, where the store now stands, and was started in 1805. It was taken down by William T. Rodgers, a sub- sequent owner of the property.

Adam Smith had a tannery at Weston, near the present blacksmith-shop, anterior to the Revolution. He died about 1830, a very old man. Washington Barcalow also formerly had a tannery at Middlebush.

In 1846 there was a flax- and husk-mill built at East Millstone to prepare husks for mattresses. This was altered in 1858 into a distillery. The building was burned in 1859, but at once rebuilt. High-wines were manufactured. The mill was originally built by Olcott Brothers. It was carried on by them until 1872. Then it was run under the name of J. H. Ol- cott & Co., the silent partner being John M. Prudens ; in 1875 it was bought by John M. Prudens & Brother. In 1877, Kupfer & Co. became proprietors ; they made yeast and high-wines. In 1879 it passed into the hands of Tauskey & Co. Gaff, Fleischman & Co. became the owners in 1880.

MILLS.

The first mills were erected on the smaller streams to avoid the expense of too large dams. One was erected on the Mile-Run Brook, near the Raritan, at

a very early period,-probably soon after 1700. It was built and owned by a Voorhees. It was taken down previous to 1765, when the road by Voorhees' house is described as passing over the old mill-dam. There was another mill on the next small stream above the Mile Run, which also flowed into the Rari- tan; this was 2} miles above New Brunswick. The land early belonged to Gerardus Beekman, but sub- sequently came into the possession of the Van Tines. Jacques Van Tine was operating a mill on this stream, known later as Rappelye Brook, in 1735.

The Dutch settlers at Middlebush needed mills, and no less than three were located on the Six-Mile Run. One was near the Middlebush road, and was owned by Lucas Voorhees; another was a mile farther up the stream, and owned by Simon Wyckoff. The writer is unable to locate the third.

Mills were built on the Millstone at a very early period; John Harrison is said to have had one at Rocky Hill as early as 1716. One or more were built near Griggstown between 1730-40, if not earlier. After the canal was opened, in 1832, the Griggstown Mill was located on its bank.

The mill at Weston was erected between 1740 and 1750 by Henry Schenck, brother of Peter, who had erected about the same time the one now known as Black well's. The following have been owners of the Weston Mills: Henry Schenck (died Jan. 31, 1767, aged fifty years) ; Abram Van Neste (died Aug. 15, 1779); Israel Harris, 1779 (?)-1803; John M. Bayard, 1803-19 ; William T. Rodgers, 1819-43 ; Isaac R. Cornell, 1843-65; Rockhill Robeson, 1865-75; and Adrian Olcott, 1875. These proprietors have occa- sionally rented out the mill to other parties.

Jacob Shurts built a grist-mill at South Bound Brook (now Bloomington) about 1840. It stands on the bank of the canal.

The following account of the mills in 1735 is from Ralph Voorhees' papers. The description differs slightly from the preceding :

" There appear to have been six,-four on the smaller streams,-being owned as follows: 1. Coert Van Voorhees, on the Mile-Run Brook, at the Landing; 2. Jaens Fontine, about a mile farthor up the river, on what was called the Rappleye Brook ; 3. John Folkers, on the old Folkerson property, upon the brook emptying into the Raritan, a few yards eust of the house now owned and occupied by Abram Sebring ; 4. Simon Wyckoff, on Six-Mile Run, abont 11/4 miles below the old road running from Six- Mile Run to New Brunswick. The other two wero located on the east side of the Millstone, ono being owned by Lowis Moore, successor to Join Harrison, the great landholder, who built this mill previous to 1716, and was located on tho enet side of the river, at Rocky Hill. Tho other, 2 miles below tho formor, was owned by Benjamin Origgs .* This luet- named mill was owned in 1752 by Nicholas Veghten, and afterwards by Abraham Van Doren. It was taken down in 1831 to make wny for the Delaware and Raritan Canal."

MILITARY.

Franklin township suffered during the Revolution to a great extent. It lay in the path of the two armies crossing and recrossing the State, and in the varying fortunes of war was at one time in the hands

of the enemy and at another under the protection of friends. During the winter of 1776-77 the country was frequently ravaged by foraging-parties. At Three- Mile Run the buildings were all pinndered, and fre- quently fired. Barns were torn down to supply tim- ber for the construction of a temporary bridge over the Raritan, and some of the most wanton cruelties were inflicted .*

During the late civil war this township sustained an honorable record, and contributed its full share of men and means to suppress the rebellion.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

ALBERT V. GARRETSON.

James Garretson, grandfather of Albert V., lived at an early period in Hillsborough township, about one mile and a half from Blackwell's Mills. His wife's name was Helena, and the issue of the marriage Peter, John, Garret, Stephen, Samuel, Sarah, who married Herman Cortelyou ; Ida, who married John Stothoff; and another, who married Abraham Cortelyou.

Samuel Garretson, father of our subject, was born on March 11, 1776; married, Nov. 28, 1799, Helen, daughter of Peter Voorhees (born March 17, 1782), and had the following children,-viz., Magdalene, born Sept. 23, 1800, who became the wife of John P. Voorhees ; Maria, born Dec. 25, 1802; Peter, born Jan. 29, 1805; James, born April 2, 1807 ; Albert V., born Nov. 2, 1809; John, born June 29, 1812; Ry- nier Staats, born Oct. 4, 1814; Peter, born March 9, 1817 ; Sarah, wife of Benjamin Smith, born May 25, 1820 ; Hiram, born Oet. 16, 1802; and Samuel, born June 3, 1826.

member of the Reformed Church of Middlebush, where he officiated both as deacon and eller, but at the time of his death, on Oct. 14, 1847, he was a member of the Reformed Church of Six-Mile Run. His wife died on May 8, 1849.

Albert V. Garretson was born on the homestead, in Franklin township, purchased by his father near the opening of the present century. His earlier years were passed upon the home farm, and his educational training was such as the common schools of his day afforded. On Nov. 3, 1840, he was united in mar- ringe to Magdalene, daughter of Herman and Sarah (Garretson) Cortelyon. She was born April 29, 1811, on the place where she has since resided.

After his marriage Mr. Garretson purchased the farm of Herman Cortelyou, his wife's father, com- prising about one hundred aeres. Here he has since lived, engaged in agricultural pursuits. He has con- fined his labors strictly to his chosen avocation and, though a member of the Republican party, he has been no seeker after place. He has always been a liberal contributor to the religious and benevolent enterprises of his day, and, with his wife, is a member of the Middlebush Reformed Church, where he has held the offices of deacon and elder.

The children of Mr. and Mrs. Garretson have been Garret, born Jan. 14, 1846, who is a farmer in Hills- borough township; John, who died Oct. 11, 1863 ; Sarah Maria, born Nov. 4, 1848, who married Jacob Schomp, of Pleasant Plains ; Joanna, born July 2, 1851, wife of Courtney Gordon, of Mattawan, N. J .; and Samuel, born Sept. 4, 1854, and who resides on the home farm.

STEPHEN GARRITSON.t

Stephen Garritson is a grandson of a gentleman by the same name who occupied at an early day two hundred acres of land, now composing the farmis ot the subject of this sketch and of Peter I. Voorhees, in the central portion of Franklin township. Here the grandfather engaged in agricultural pursuits until his death, at the age of forty, at the commencement of the Revolutionary war. He was twice married. By his first wife, a Miss Voorhees, he had no children. His second wife was Phebe Dumont, who bore him three sons,-Rem, John, and Peter Garritson. The former spent the closing years of his life in New York City. Peter was a merchant in New Brunswick, and died there. Stephen Garritson was a devout member of the Reformed Church at Six-Mile Run. Ilis wife died about 1824, in her eighty-first year.

John, second son of Stephen Garritson, was born on the old homestead. He married Phebe, daughter of Martin and Sarah ( Covenhoven) Schenck. Of his children, seven reached mature years, Sarah became the wife of Jacob Beekman, and died in Michigan; Abraham was a son ; Johanna married Luke S. Van

SOMERSET COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

Derveer, and resides in Princeton, N. J .; John, a popular minister of the Dutch Reformed denomina- tion, died in November, 1875, while rector of Herzog Hall, New Brunswick; Martin was a farmer at Ten- Mile Run ; Phebe Ann died unmarried, at the age of thirty-six; Stephen, our subject, was the youngest. John Garritson died in 1842, in his eightieth year, and his wife in 1847, in her eighty-second year.

Stephen Garritson was born on the old place, Sept. 19, 1808, where he passed his earlier years, enjoying the benefits of a common-school education. In the year 1836 he married, for his first wife, Catharine C., daughter of Peter C. and Ann (Lowe) Schenck, of Clover Hill, N. J., and three years later he purchased of his father the one hundred acres of the home tract which he has since occupied. In that year he erected his present tasteful residence and planted the beauti- ful trees which now adorn his place. The barns which he erected were destroyed hy fire, caused by lightning, and were replaced by those now in use. A view of this attractive place, so full of memories of home to himself and children, and manifesting the industry, thrift, and taste of the owner, may be seen on another page of this work. Here Mr. Garritson has passed a long life of labor and toil, feeling a just pride in the ancestral memories that cluster around his home. He has confined his labors strictly to the cultivation and improvement of his farm, and, while a life-long Demo- crat, has persistently refused political place. He is extremely modest in manner, thoroughly devoted to home and family, and is one who, by a life of recti- tude and honor, has earned a place among the influ- ential and representative men of his class. He has been a liberal contributor to church and kindred in- terests, and has long been a member of the Reformed Church of Six-Mile Run, officiating at various times as deacon and as elder. At the age of seventy-two he presents the appearance of a much younger man, and is in the full possession of all his faculties.

The children of Mr. Garritson by his first marriage are Anna, who resides at home, and Catharine, widow of Liscom Opdyke, also living at home. Their mother died in 1845. His present wife is Eleanor, daughter of David and Eliza (Simmons) Bush, of Jersey City, to whom he was united in 1847. Her children are Adelaide Lamar, wife of Rev. Robert Doag, pastor of the Reformed Church at Berne, N. Y., and Julia An- nette, unmarried.

JAMES S. GARRETSON.

James S. Garretson is a son of Samuel Garretson, formerly of South Middlebush, who is more particu- larly referred to elsewhere in this work. He was born on his father's homestead on April 2, 1807, where his earlier years were passed. About the year 1820 his father's slaves, of which he had seven, were made free by legislative enactment, and, the work and lahor on the farm becoming heavier thereby, young

James was kept busy turning over the paternal acres. He enjoyed no schooling advantages after he attained the age of twelve.

In December, 1831, Mr. Garretson was united in

marriage to Catharine, daughter of Jonathan and Nancy (Brown) Smith, of Harmony Plains, N. J., and shortly after that event he purchased one hun- dred and four acres of land near "Short Hills," Mid- dlesex Co., where he pursued farming until 1864. He disposed of his farm advantageously during that year, and returned to Middlebush for one year. The year following he removed to East Millstone, N. J., where he has since resided, being engaged in no active business. He is of quiet, unostentatious man- ners, a good citizen, and one who contributes his share cheerfully to the various progressive move- ments of the day. He is a Republican in politics, but has always persistently refused to hold office.

His children have been Samuel, who occupies the Garretson homestead, at Middlebush, and Jonathan Smith, a grocer in Plainfield.

JACOB WYCKOFF.

Peter Claes Wyckoff, the common ancestor of the Wyckoff family, emigrated from the Netherlands in the year 1636. He bought lands on which he settled at Flatbush, L. I. In the year 1655 he superintended the farm and stock of Director Stuyvesant. He was magistrate of the town for the years 1655, 1658, 1662, and 1663. His wife was Gretia, daughter of Hendrick Van Ness, and his children were Annetje, Mayken,

Geertie, Claes, Cornelius, Hendrick, Garret, Martin, Pieter, and Jan.

His son, Cornelius Pieterse Wyckoff, married Ger- trude, daughter of Simon Van Arsdalen, Oct. 13, 1678. He was one of the company who purchased a large tract of land in Franklin township of John Harrison, the deed for which bears date Nov. 7, 1701. The deed for his share of the tract, given by his part- ners, bears date June 1, 1703, and conveys twelve hundred acres lying across the central part of the township from the county line at Three-Mile Run to the Millstone River. His children were Peter, Mary (1st), Simon, Nicholas, Jacob, Hendrick, Charles, John, Peternella, Mary (2d), Margaret, Hannah, Cor- nelius, and Martin. Of these, Peter, Simon, Jacob, and John settled on the traet mentioned above, each receiving about three hundred acres. John had his home in Middlebush, where Samuel Garretson now lives, and his oldest son, Cornelius, who was born there, was the first white child born in the settlement. Simon and Jacob settled at Three-Mile Run. Part of all these lands are still in the possession of their respective descendants.

l'eter, oldest son of Cornelius Pieterse Wyckoff, settled where Jacob Wyckotl' now resides, about the year 1710. He married, Sept. 5, 1709, Elizabeth, daughter of Aurt Van Pelt, and had children,-Cor- nelius, Nelly, Aurt, Peter, Elizabeth, Maria, Ger- trude, John, Simon, and Jacob. His second wife was Gertrude Romeyn. He died in the winter of 1776-77.

His son Simon was born in the year 1730, and sue- ceeded his father on the old farm. He married Alche, daughter of Christian and Alche Van Doren, on June 10, 1756. Their children were Christian, Elizabeth, Alche, Gertrude, Maria, Sarah, Peter, Nelly, Jacob, and Simon. Simon Wyckoff died Oct. 22, 1802, and his wife Dec. 13, 1828.

Simon, youngest son of Simon Wyckoff, was born May 17, 1778, married Sophia, daughter of Benjamin and Sophia Van Doren, of Middlebush, and occupied the old homestead throughout his life. He died April 11, 1856, and his wife, who was born Dec. 16, 1783, died February, 1871. Their children were Simon, now living at Fairview, Il. ; Benjamin V. D., lived and died at Middlebush; Adeline, who was deprived of sight at the age of sixteen, died on the home- stead shortly after her father; Sophia, married Corne- lius S. Nevius, lived and died at Middlebush ; Chris- tian, resides in Russell Co., Kan .; Joseph, resides in Shiawassee Co., Mich. ; Jacob; Isaac, lived and died at Middlebush ; and Ellen, who married Peter S. Brokaw, and died at Middlebush. V

Jacob, fifth son of Simon and Sophia Wyckoff, was born on the old homestead Dec. 20, 1818, where he lins passed his entire life as a farmer, with the excep- tion of four years, during which he occupied a farm in the neighborhood. His educational advantages were such as the district school of his locality nf- forded. On Jan. 20, 1842, he was united in marriage

to Sarah Jane, daughter of Albert P. and IIelena (Longstreet ) Voorhees. She was born Oct. 21, 1818.

Until the breaking out of the war Mr. Wyckoff was identified with the Democratic party, but at that time, being in sympathy with the principles of the Repub- liean party, he united with that body, with which he has since acted. He has followed the occupation of a surveyor for many years, and was for twenty-five years a commissioner of deeds. He has also held the oflice of justice of the peace, of assessor for six years, and has filled other minor offices. He has never been a seeker after place. Mr. Wyekoff has been largely interested in the settlement and adjustment of estates, in the capacity of executor, administrator, trustee, and commissioner, and has fulfilled his various duties with singular exactness and fidelity.

Mr. Wyckoff and his wife early united with the Reformed Church of Middlebush, and the former has frequently held the offices of deacon and elder, filling the office of elder at the present writing (1880). He has also represented his church in the Classis, and the latter at the General Synod of his denomination. lle is known as a man of strict integrity, conseien- tious and devoted to principle, and one who enjoys the respect and confidence of all.

The children of Mr. and Mrs. Wyckoff have been Simon, died in infancy ; Albert Voorhees, sergeant- major of the Fifteenth New Jersey Volunteers, who fell at the battle of Cold Harbor, Va., June 1, 1864; Martin Nevius, graduated at Rutgers College, New Jersey, in 1872, and who for five years thereafter was professor of natural philosophy and chemistry, and of the English language, in the employ of the Japan- ese government : since his return he has been princi- pal of a classical school at Somerville, N. J .; James Longstreet, died an infant ; Benjamin Van Doren, graduated from Rutgers College, 1875, from the the- ological seminary, New Brunswick, 1878, and has since been the settled pastor of the Reformed Church of Preakness, N. J .; Sarah Helena, who died in the fourth year of her age; and Jacob, who resides on the home farm with his parents, and who is the sixth in line from Peter Claes, the original ancestor of the family, and the fifth who has resided on the home farm. Jacob, son of Martin N., and grandson of Jacob Wyckoff, was born in Japan, June 15, 1876, and is the seventh of the family in line from Peter ('Ines.
