June 1, 1849, Rev. Ephraim Sheppard accepted a call; he served for about five years and four months, baptizing eighteen persons.

From October, 1854, to March following the church was destitute of a pastor. In March, 1855, Rev. Ed- ward C. Ambler accepted a call, and remained until September, 1856; he baptized seventeen persons during his pastorate.

A call was then extended to Rev. George Young, which he accepted, and served until October, 1857. During his pastorate he baptized his two sons, Charles and George. They were both afterwards licensed by the church to preach.

June 1, 1858, Samuel Cox, a lieentiate of the Second Baptist Church of Salem, N. J., accepted a call, and on the 10th of that month was ordained to the min- istry by a council convened for that purpose. Ile remained until Oct. 1, 1860, baptizing six during his stay.

In October, 1860, Rev. Joseph Beldon accepted a call, and commenced his labors the 1st of February following ; he continued to serve until June 1, 1865.

From June 1, 1865, to October, 1867, the church was destitute of a pastor, but enjoyed occasional preaching ; prayer-meetings were held, and quite a number were converted; nine professed their faith, and were baptized by Rev. Ephraim Sheppard, who volunteered his services to administer the ordinances and preach until a pastor might be obtained.

Oct. 1, 1867, Rev. Simeon Siegfried took charge, and remained until April 1, 1869.

Rev. Joseph Wright then commenced as supply, faithfully laboring until stricken with palsy ; he bap- tized six while thus serving.

In the summer and fall of 1875, Thomas C. Young preached twice a month in the afternoon and held a series of evening meetings, baptizing ten persons on profession of faith.

Nov. 1, 1876, George B. Young commenced serving the church, and resigned in May following. Six were baptized and added during his pastorate.

In 1878, Dr. George H. Larison supplied for a con- siderable time, and baptized four.

The church has no settled pastor at present (1880), nor has it had for some time past, but has been sup- plied by Rev. J. M. Helsley and other neighboring pastors.

The present trustees are Jacob S. Durham, Jacob S. Herder, Israel H. Hill, J. R. S. Hill, John C. Dunham, B. V. Hill, and David Van Doren.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, NEW MARKET.

The church at New Market grew out of a class that met at Woodville, Mercer Co., one mile south of New Market. According to the church record of Penning- ton Station this class was formed in 1844, Reader Blackwell as leader. The members were John A. Abbott, Margaret Abbott, Walter Harbourt, Eliza Harbourt, Ann E. Abbott, Theophilus Harhourt, Catharine Titus, Wilmina Tibbett, and Joseph Ab- bott.

In 1858, Rev. James R. Bryan was preacher in charge, and Rev. Jonathan Vannote junior preacher. A revival occurred under their administration, which resulted in a large addition to the Woodville class ; so that the class was divided, and Theodore Silvers and John L. Burroughs were appointed leaders. The following appear as members of these classes : Theo- dore Silvers, Frances Silvers, Jacob Williamson, Mary Young, William N. Brady, Sarah M. Brady, N. R. Blackwell, Olivia Brady, Frances Conover, Sarah Conover, Asa Robbins, Jane Mathews, Alice Akers, Sarah Cromwell, Jacob R. Brady, Mary Cromwell, William Wolverton, Helen B. Wolverton, J. H. Stillwell, R. H. Stillwell, W. Penrod, Eunice Pen- rod, Henry B. Brady, Samuel Holcombe, Deliverance Blackwell, Mary E. Wilson, Margaret Snook, William Reed, Lucretia Ege, John L. Burroughs, Richard Burroughs, Zimri Wood, Susannah Wood, Ann Chaf- fee, Penelope P. S. Burroughs, Charity Burroughs, Jacob Tindall, Warner R. Mathews, A. H. Drake, William H. Scudder, Mary Scudder, Elizabeth Golden, Jacob S. Deen, Ann M. Deen, Jacob Williamson, Jr., Elizabeth Larew, Ellen Smith, Ketura Smith, and Elizabeth Petit.

This large accession rendered a church edifice a necessity, and the same year (1858) the present struc- ture was erected, and the above persons constituted the society. The size of the building is 48 by 36 feet. The basement story has a Sunday-school room and two class-rooms ; the andience-room has seating ca- pacity for 250 persons. The building cost about $3800.

The following were the first trustees: Richard Burroughs, William 11. Scudder, Zimri Wood, Ralph B. Smith, and Theodore Silvers. The present board (1880) consists of Levi Reed, Andrew Cromwell, Cornelius Dallas, Samuel Schenck, Edward Larew, Cornelius Gulick, and Ferdinand II. Akers. The pastors since organization have been James R. Bryan, Jonathan Vannote, Benjamin S. Sharp, John l'. Con-

nelly, John J. Graw, John B. Westcott, J. T. Streck, Samnel Parker, George Hitchens, Milton Relyea, Caleb A. Malsbury, Benjamin C. Lippincott, Henry Belting.

The church at present has a membership of 67.

CEMETERIES.

The only public cemetery in the township, other than the denominational churchyards, is that known as the " Union Cemetery at Ringos." It was incor- porated Oct. 25, 1876, by Cornelius W. Larison, Noah H. Blackwell, John B. Dalrymple, Levi Holcombe, John H. Young, Silas Nonamaker, and Austin S. Wilson. The first officers were Cornelius W. Larison, President; Noah H. Blackwell, Vice-President; Levi Holcombe, Secretary ; Silas Nonamaker, Treasurer.

In 1876, 4.29 acres, west of the village and adjoin- ing the township line, were purchased of Noah H. Blackwell and constituted a cemetery under the above organization. The grounds have been laid out, roads made, trees set out, and a memorial monument erected in the centre of the cemetery. The first interment was a child of Peter Snyder, in 1877.

The officers for 1880 are the same as above given except that John H. Young is vice-president in place of Noah H. Blackwell.

The other cemeteries of this township are those connected with the Baptist Church at Wertsville and the Presbyterian Church at Pleasant Corner. There is also an old burial-ground, disused for the past sixty years, located on the property of Joseph G. Quick and Roeliff Sutphin, north of Mountain Brook, and in the same vicinity is another, formerly the pauper burial-ground in the days of the old poor-farm, but this has been abandoned for many years. Another old cemetery, and one well known, is located between Ringos and Larison's, near the Ringos school.

Among family burial-places may be mentioned that of the Chamberlin family, on the M. Huffman farm, near the Back Brook; that of the Quick family at Van Liew's Corners, on the estate of the late R. Van Liew ; and that of the Manners and Stout families, about a mile east of Wertsville.

In 1860 the charter of Powhattan Lodge was re- voked by the Grand Lodge of New Jersey.

The lodge was resuscitated Feb. 2, 1874, under the same name and number. The representatives of the Grand Lodge on this occasion were D. D. Taylor, of Lackatong Lodge; P. D. D. Curtiss, of Magnolia Lodge; P. G.'s John Horn, of Lenni Lenape Lodge, Hervy Witten, of Pennington Lodge. The charter members were Joseph Dalrymple, Peter W. Shep- herd, James G.

The lodge holds weekly meetings in their hall, in the second story of the Odd-Fellows' building, for- merly owned by the lodge, but now private property.

RINGOS TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY.

For some years the temperance cause was almost entirely neglected in the vicinity of Ringos .* At one time the Rev. Dr. Kirkpatrick, who was pastor here, with the aid of a few zealous laymen, did some efli- cient work; since then, however, nothing was done by any one except the pastors of the different churches, who preached a sermon on the subject occasionally.

In the fall of 1879 one of the pastors heard a man abusing his wife while still suffering from the effects of a drunken revel, and the same day a number of men became intoxicated at a political cauens. This led to a consultation among the three pastors of the place, and a course of action was marked out.

November 9th, Mrs. J. T. Ellis, of Flemington, lectured by request in the Presbyterian church, and made so good an impression that on the evening of November 14th an association was formed at the Bap-

tist chapel. The society was called "The Ringos Total Abstinence Society." Subscription to the pledge constitutes any one a member.

The society meets on the last Friday evening of each month. The present officers are : I'resident, C. R. Nightingale; Vice-Presidents, William Rue, Amos Bond, Hiram Fisher ; Secretary, J. MI. Helsley ; Treasurer, Datis Reed.

The society numbers about 110 members, very few having retrograded. It owes much of its success to the carnest efforts of Mr. C. R. Nightingale.

RINGOS GRANGE, No. 12,

was organized Oct. 11, 1873, by George W. Thompson, General Deputy of the State of New Jersey, with the following charter members : Newton K. Young, Mrs. Margaret Young, Rev. J. D.

Blackwell; Lady Asst. Steward, Mrs. E. E. Ilolcombe. This organization is in a flourishing condition.

MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRIAL.

The first mill erected in this township was known as the " Race Mill," situated about a mile south of Ringos. The land on which it stood was purchased in 1727 by William Dawlis, who built the mill some- where about 1730-32; at his death he devised it to his sons Herman and William. In 1742, William executed a deed of release of the same to Herman, which document Philip Ringo signed as a witness. t

The only woolen factory in the township was estab- lished years ago, and located about midway between Ringos and Rocktown. It was owned and operated,

* Nov. 0, 1826, the good people of Amwell miet at the house of Jenne Lowe, and organized u reformatory association, with the lengthy title of " The Amwell Society for the Suppression of Vico and Immorality, and the Encouragement of Virtue and Good Morals." A constitution was adopted, an address dellvored, and officers chosen. As no further men- tion has come to our notice, it is believed that it must have been short- lived.

along with a grist-mill in the same neighborhood, by P. W. Shepherd & Son. The former died in June, 1880, but the mills are still carried on by the son.

A saw-mill and a feed-mill, on the Back Brook, one mile east of Ringos, are owned by A. T. Williamson. A general custom grist-mill, with both water- and steam-power, is located on the Neshanic, near the east line of the township; it is owned by the estate of Jacob Vanderveer. The mills at Snydertown were built prior to 1820.

James Riley's apple-distillery and cider-mill has been in operation for many years. A large grist- mill and grain distillery at Ringos was established about 1857 by Jonathan Higgins, who ran it until 1870 or thereabouts, when it was suspended and the machinery taken out. The building is still vacant.

The tannery at Snydertown was in operation for many years, and up to about four years ago, when the business was discontinued.

In 1828 the general mercantile trade was repre- sented by Richard L. and Hugh L. Sutphin and Richard Lowe, under the firm-name of Sutphin & Lowe; but Oct. 31, 1829, there was a change, R. L. Sutphin withdrawing, and the firm-title becoming Sutphin & Lowe.

NOTEWORTIIY INCIDENTS.

John Carr, Sr., taught school during the Revolu- tion in a one-story frame school-house, which stood about half a mile southeast of the village now known as Unionville. At one time during his incumbency there were present in this school-house. twenty-one boys and a number of girls. While the children were all out at play a gentleman in military costume rode up on horseback, accompanied by his life-guard. Opposite the school-house he halted, faced about, and began talking to the boys. Finally he formed them in a line, with the tallest boy at the head and graded down in size to the smallest ; when formed he asked them, "How many of you, when you become men, will be willing to fight for your country ?" Twenty- one hands were at once elevated. It is scarcely ne- cessary to add that the chieftan was Gen. George Washington. The American army was crossing New Jersey at that time.

The venerable Peter S. Young, of Ringos, who died so recently, related the above incident in 1876, and it was committed to mannscript.

General Lafayette, it is said, made his quarters for some time in this township, during a period when sickness detained him at the mansion of Henry Landis. The same house, on another occasion, shel- tered sixty Tories, but they were in irons, coupled two and two, and in charge of a strong guard of Whigs.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

CORNELIUS WILSON LARISON, M.D.

Cornelius Wilson Larison, M.D., was born Jan. 10, 1837, near Sandy Ridge, in Delaware township, Hun- terdon Co., N. J. He is a son of Benjamin and Han- nah A. (Holcombe) Larison, both natives of Hunterdon County. They had nine children,-four sons and five daughters,-of whom the subject of this notice is the second son and the third child. His early life till nearly the age of twenty years was spent on the farm and in the acquirement of such rudimentary educa- tion as the country schools afforded. On the 29th of October, 1856, he entered the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, in- tending to pursue a course of medical study. Finding, however, that it would be advantageous to him first to graduate in a regular literary course, he gave up the study of medicine for the time being, and, in pursuance of his purpose, began a course of preparation for col- lege at the Flemington high school, entering that insti- tution on the 1st of May, 1857. He was there fitted for college, and entered the Pennsylvania University, at Lewisburg, Sept. 20, 1858, remaining there till March, 1860, when he was appointed associate principal and teacher of mathematics and natural science in the Flemington high school, where he remained till the end of the school year, and resigned on account of failing health. In October, 1861, he entered the med- ical college at Geneva, N. Y., where he graduated with the degree of M.D., Jan. 20, 1863, and in March following settled at Ringos, N. J., as a medical practitioner, in partnership with Dr. Cicero Hunt.

Dr. Larison's reputation as a teacher drew to him at Ringos a number of students desirous of fitting for college and for the profession of medicine, and to meet the wants of these he associated teaching with the practice of his profession. Among those who were instructed in the sciences and in medicine by Dr. Larison during the first year may be mentioned Rev. A. B. Larison, M.D, C. M. Lee, M.D., and A. O. S. Carpenter, M.D. In 1870, in connection with Dr. Andrew B. Larison, he organized the seminary at Ringos, the history of which is given in another part of this work. He was appointed professor of the natural sciences in the university at Lewisburg, Pa., in August, 1874.

In March, 1873, he had associated with him in practice Dr. Charles Milton Lee. This arrangement gave him greater opportunity for studies outside of his profession, among which geology took first rank, and he spent the greater part of the year in the study of that interesting science in the Appalachian Moun- tains. Early in June, 1874, Dr. Lee died, deeply lamented by all who knew him. This induced Dr. Larison to resign his professorship and return home and resume his practice, which he did, July 1, 1875.

and Art-at Ringos grew out of the circumstance that certain students and tutors acquainted with Dr. Lari- son were desirous of studying the sciences in a more practical way than is usually pursued at the colleges. With this object in view, the present school-building and laboratory were erected in the fall of 1875. Early the year following the school was organized. The pupils each year, with their teacher, make excursions in the fields, forests, and mountains, and to the sea and streams, gathering practical information in geol- ogy, physical geography, zoology, botany, and other sciences. The doctor maintains a course of lectures the year round.

In June, 1876, he was appointed professor of zoology in the university at Lewisburg, and delivers there an annual course of lectures to a large class of students.

He has been reporter for the District Medical So- ciety of Hunterdon County for fifteen consecutive years, and, under the appointment of the Governor, held the office of the first county superintendent of public instruction for Hunterdon County. Much of his time has been devoted to teaching in various grades and departments of education,-he has, in fact, taught all classes of schools from the common distriet school up to the university. He accomplishes much because he is an carnest and indefatigable worker in everything he sets his hand to, and has great strength and tenacity of will to accomplish his purpose. Few men have been able to bring forth better results out of unpromising circumstances.

Dr. Larison married, in March, 1873, Mary Jane, daughter of Gershom C. Sergeant, of Raritan town- ship, and has two children,-l'ollie and Ben.

JAMES SLACK FISIER.

The late James Slack Fisher, subject of this brief memoir, was born Oct. 23, 1800, on the estate where his family now reside, in East Amwell, Hunterdon Co., N. J., and died there Sept. 22, 1879, aged nearly seventy-nine years.

Ilis great-grandfather, l'eter Fisher, came from Germany and settled about 1728 on the place where Caleb F. Fisher now lives. His grandfather, Wil- liam Fisher, son of Peter, moved upon the present homestead in East Amwell in 1777. He married, first, Charity Young, by whom he had a son Peter and a daughter Mary. His second wife was Charity Youngblood, by whom he had five children,-John, William, Anna, Sarah, and Hannah.

William Fisher, son of William and Charity Young- blood, was the father of the subject of this sketch, and was born June 21, 1768, in what is now West Am- well. He was a farmer by occupation, as were all his'ancestors. He married, Aug. 2, 1794, Imeretin, daughter of James and Rebecca (Chamberlain) Slaek, who was born Oct. 12, 1771. They had five chil-

dren,-Amos, William, James S., Charity, and Mary Ann.

James S. Fisher was born and brought up on the homestead, and was an honorable and upright citizen. He followed the occupation of farming through life, and the home residence erected by him in 1850, and many other improvements and home comforts, bear

James diJustice

the evidence of his careful and industrious hand. He was a man of strict integrity, and highly esteemed by all who knew him. He married Catharine L., daughter of William and Eleanor Stout, March 4, 1835. She was born Nov. 25, 1816. The children of this marriage were ten in all, of whom seven survive, -viz., three sons and four daughters. The names of the daughters are as follows: Ellen S., Rebecca S., Caroline S., and Kate. The eldest son, William H. Fisher, is an active business man in St. Paul, Minn .; the second son, James S. Fisher, carries on the home- stead farm for his mother; he served in the Union army during the late civil war. Hle enlisted in the Thirty-eighth Regiment New Jersey Volunteers, and was honorably discharged at the close of the war ; the third and youngest. Claudius R. P. Fisher, M.D., is a graduate of Jefferson Medical College of Philadel- phin, and in practice at Neshanie, Somerset Co., N. ...

ABRAHAM TEN BROOKE WILLIAMSON.

The subject of this notice is descended from one of the oldest families in this portion of New Jersey. Ilis great-grandfather, John Williamson, came from

368

HUNTERDON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

Holland and settled about one mile north of Ringos, N. J., before the year 1731, as his deed bears date that year. The property was formerly owned by "John Chamber, of Amwell," who deeded it to " Henry Vroom, of Kingstown, Ulster Co., N. Y.," June 22, 1726.

A. T. WILLIAMSON.

Abraham, one of the sons of John Williamson, the original settler, married Katharine Ten Brooke, and had two sons and three daughters, of whom Abraham Ten Brooke Williamson, Sr., was the father of our subject. He married Penelope Sutphen, and had children,-Katharine K., John S., Abraham T., Ann C., Sarah, and Jacob W.,-three sons and three daughters, of whom Katharine, Sarah, and Abraham T. are living. The latter was born on the estate which has descended from his great-grandfather, near Ringos, N. J., on the 13th of June, 1815, and was brought up on the farm, receiving such education as the schools of his neighborhood furnished.

On the 23d of January, 1850, he married Mary, daughter of James Shepherd, by whom he has three children,-Katharine Ellen, John S., and Annie M. T. Williamson.

The home of Mr. Williamson, on the York Road, near Ringos, is one of the most beautiful in this por- tion of Hunterdon County. His fellow-townsmen elected him to the office of chosen freeholder in 1846, and he discharged its duties in a satisfactory manner for three years. He takes little part, however, in poli- tics, being devoted strictly to the interests of his occu- pation as a farmer.

NATHAN STOUT.

The subject of this sketch is a descendant in the seventh generation from Richard Stout and Penelope Van Princes, the line of descent being from Richard, through David, his seventh son ; through James, first son of David; John, first son of James ; Nathan, Sr.,

Hathan Stout

fifth son of John; and William, fourth son of Na- than, Sr.

The Stouts of New Jersey are of both English and Dutch ancestry, the blood of the two nationalities having joined their currents in a most singular and romantic manner.

Richard, the first of the name in America, was born in Nottingham, England, and, being disappointed in his first love affair with a young woman deemed by his father below his rank, he embarked on board of a man-of-war, where he served seven years, and was finally discharged at New Amsterdam, now New York. About this time a ship with passengers from Amsterdam, Holland, bound to the same port, was driven on the shore now called Middletown, in Mon- mouth Co., N. J., where the crew and passengers were soon cut off by the Indians, the whole company being, as they thought, destroyed. But a certain woman, whose husband the Indians had killed, found herself strong enough to creep to a hollow tree, where she remained in her wounded and forlorn condition till discovered by an Indian, who took pity on her, car- ried her to his wigwam, healed her wounds, and in a short time conveyed her in a canoe to New Amster- dam, where he sold her to the Dutch.
