CRANBURY TOWNSHIP
Thomas Duncan, John Van Kirk, Matthias Mount, Joseph Clayton, Charles Barclay, Matthew Griggs, Reuben Davison, Stephen Pangborn, Peter Gulick, William Dey, Peter Bergen, Robert Mershon, Andrew Applegate, Henry Stults, Joshua Ely, William Jewell, John Reed, John Van Dyke, Jacob Deremer and others. In the journal of Rev. David Brainerd, missionary to the Indians, appears this record: "June 18, 1745. In the afternoon came to a place called Cranbury, and lodged with Rev. Charles McKnight." The latter was pastor of the Presbyterian church, 1744-1778. In 1746, Brainerd, with some of his Indian con- verts and followers, came to this vicinity. At the north end of the town stood a lordly elm, under whose branches he preached to his aboriginal congregation. The most friendly relations existed between Brainerd and McKnight, and it is said they often preached for each other.
The early growth of the village was very slow, and in 1810 there were only fifteen houses. David Chambers appears to have been the first storekeeper, doing business near the mill in 1800, and was there for years afterward. In 1807, one Halsey had a store near the site of the old United States Hotel, and nearby Mershon and Hawley opened a store in 1812. Charles Carson was in business from 1815 till 1823. The next merchants were Reuben Morris and Benjamin M. Clarke, the latter continuing until about 1830. The first hotel, the "United States," stood on the Main street, about six hundred feet east of the mill pond, and was built by Peter Perrine as a dwelling; but was converted into a hotel by Timothy Horner in 1805. The American Hotel was conducted by Henry Wagoner at an early date, and in 1868 was owned and kept by Mrs. Maria Bowne. It was removed to a side street, near Main, renovated, and is now used by the Free Public Library. The first resident physician was Dr. Titus, who came prior to 1800, and Dr. Ralph Lott and Dr. Van Dyke located here in that year. Dr. Horatio Stansbury came in 1816, Dr. John Lott in 1825, Dr. Garret Voorhees in 1830, and Dr. Selah Gulick in 1834. It would seem the locality was not remarkably healthful.
The water power of Cranbury brook was first utilized in 1738. The mill of Thomas Grubbs, built in that year, was destroyed by fire in 1860, but soon rebuilt. The Wyckoff mills, in the extreme southeastern part of the township, were built in 1871. The grist mill of Joseph H. Grover was midway between Cranbury and Plainsboro, and that of George W. Thompson was located at the latter place. The following artisans were busy in the early days : Isaac De Bow, blacksmith, 1750; Matthew A. Rue and John Hagerman, wheelwrights ; William Conover, Aaron Lane, Henry Van Deventer, David Chambers, and John and James Clark, tanners ; Isaac Van Arsdale, hats; M. A. Rue and Nathaniel Britton, distillers. Commencing in 1861 Peter Bergen for many years manu- factured carriages and light wagons of every description.

The principal business of the town is the American Steam Coffee and Spice Mills, established by the late John S. Davison and John S. Silvers in 1866, and now known as the J. S. Silvers & Bro. Co., with the fol- lowing officers: J. J. Bradley, president ; Abram Voorhees, treasurer ; and C. Raymond Wicoff, secretary. The business has steadily increased from the year of its beginning, and it now ranks as one of the largest of its kind in the country. The National Musical String Company, of New Brunswick, has a branch factory in the south end of the town.
The first schools in the township were in Cranbury village, and were supported by the payment of a stated tuition per scholar, and kept in school houses built by subscription. The teachers boarded with the different families, staying with each a week or more, or as long as he was welcome and liked the fare. The village had two schools previous to 1896, one in the north and the other in the south end of the town, the former being called "Bunker Hill," and the latter the "Academy." In the above year the districts were consolidated and the present fine brick building was erected. There are eight rooms, with as many teachers, and the pupils are carried through the eighth grade. There is an attendance of two hundred. Miss Laura Scudder is the principal. The following compose the Board of Education : Le Roy Scott, president ; S. H. Perrine, clerk; Howard J. Butcher, E. S. Barclay, George B. Mershon, A. C. Grover, Grover Stults, Raymond Griggs; and W. F. Perrine, custodian. Floyd L. Evans is the supervising principal.
There was a Presbyterian church, more or less organized, in July, 1739, as has been previously stated. No record can be found of the organization, although the date was probably 1738. The new building was erected in 1740 and stood for forty-eight years on the highest part of the old cemetery. There was no settled pastor until July 18, 1744, when Rev. Charles McKnight was installed, Rev. William Tennent, of Freehold, preaching the sermon. Mr. McKnight, though unmarried, kept house, as is evidenced by the fact that Brainerd, the missionary, lodged with him, and it is entered in the minutes of the Presbytery, October 5, 1746, "Mr. McKnight could not attend with the committee to install Mr. Hunter, because he was absent marrying a wife." For forty years there are no records of the church. Mr. McKnight removed to Allentown in 1756, and thence to Shrewsbury and Middletown Point, Monmouth county, in 1767. It is an indication of his sympathy with the colonies that during the Revolutionary War his church was burned, and that he was seized by the British. He died in New York, January I, 1778, and was buried in Trinity churchyard.
The church was without a stated pastor for six years, until 1762, and during this interval the parsonage property was purchased. Rev. Thomas Smith was installed pastor in 1762 and remained as such until his death, December 23, 1789. During his ministry, in 1788, a new church
451
CRANBURY TOWNSHIP
was erected where the present house now stands. It is to be regretted that we know nothing of the church during the Revolution, and have no list of the officers and soldiers of the army. In 1790 one hundred and fifty acres, formerly the property of James Rochead, was conveyed to Nathaniel Hunt, Jonathan Combs, Thomas McDowell, Jacob Fisher, William Cowenhoven, Samuel Longstreet and Humphrey Mount, trus- tees of the church. Rev. Gilbert Tennent, of Philadelphia, was installed September 24, 1790, and was a zealous and faithful pastor until February 20, 1797, when he died from yellow fever, contracted during a visit to New York. Rev. George Spofford Woodhull, son of Dr. John Woodhull, of Freehold, was pastor for twenty-two years, and accepted a call to Princeton in 1820. Rev. Symmes Cleves Henry, son of James Henry, of Lamington, colonel in the New Jersey Militia, was made pastor in 1820, and continued as such until his death, March 22, 1857. His son- in-law, Rev. Joseph G. Symmes, then of Madison, Illinois, succeeded him and served the church until his death in 1894, and was followed by Rev. J. E. Curry, the present pastor. In 1838 a diversity of opinion arose as to building a new church, the building then occupied being filled to over- flowing. This resulted in the formation of the Second Church. In 1840 the old church was rebuilt and considerably enlarged. The building is handsomely furnished and evidently receives the best of care. On the wall hangs the framed charter, granted by King George II., of England, dated February 23, 1750, approved by the Royal Council assembled at Burlington, and signed by Jonathan Belcher, Governor and Captain-General of the Province of New Jersey, to the Presbyterian Church of Monmouth county, and naming the first trustees, as follows : John Little, Jr., Christopher Longstreet, Jonathan Forman, John Ander- son, James Robinson, John Henderson, Stephen Pangborne, Robert Imlay, and Tobias Polhemus. Colonies have gone out from this church to form the following churches, in whole, or in part: Spotswood Re- formed, 1816; Millstone, 1826; Second Cranbury, 1838; Jamesburg, 1854; Manalapan, 1856; and Hightstown, 1857. In one hundred and thirty years there were but six pastors. How many churches can show such a record?
Those who had withdrawn from the First Church, as above stated, built a church, which was dedicated June 26, 1838, and Rev. J. W. Blythe was installed as the first pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church. The first Ruling Elders were Jacob and Isaac G. Snediker, Elias Day, Aaron Lane, Dominicus Mershon and John Covert. A new chapel was built in 1869 to replace the former one, which was sold and removed. Many members of the church were united with the Jamesburg church in 1854, the Manalapan church in 1856, the Hights- town church in 1857, and the Dayton church in 1869. A cemetery of about three acres adjoins the church, and was established in 1838. The present pastor is the Rev. Frederick Schweitzer.

Previous to 1847 Methodist services were held at the houses of members of an organization of that denomination which had then been formed. On December 10, 1847, the organization was perfected and the following trustees were elected : Matthew A. Rue, Isaac Silvers, Elijah Brown, Gilbert S. Day, James Prall and Reuben Sutphen. A church was erected and dedicated March 13, 1851, with Rev. John B. Hill, the first settled pastor. In 1868 the membership had increased to such an extent that the church was enlarged, thoroughly renovated, and pro- vided with a spire and bell. Rev. L. E. Lennox is the pastor.
A number of Baptists located in the village at an early date, and established a church in 1749. In 1788 it was removed to Hightstown. A burying ground existed during the time it was here; but was practically abandoned after the removal. The last headstones had the dates 1761 and 1783, and bore the names of John Taylor and John Chamberlain. The Mutual Fire Insurance was organized May 31, 1879, with the fol- lowing officers: Ezekiel Silvers, president; Richard C. Dey, vice-presi- dent ; D. C. Lewis, treasurer ; John G. Groves, secretary ; Alfred Davison, Isaac Covert, William S. Dey, John R. Hunt, Martin Cruser, Arnold F. Stout, A. J. Duncan and John Wyckoff, directors. The "Cranbury News" appeared in 1882, the first journal published in the town. For nearly thirty-six years George W. Burroughs has published the "Cran- bury Press," furnishing the town with one of the best local papers in the State.
The Brainerd Cemetery, which includes the old burying ground, situated at the rear of the first Presbyterian church, is historically a most interesting spot. It contains the graves and monuments of six pastors of the church, elders and deacons, pioneer settlers, and those who have given their lives in the service of the country. The Soldiers' Monument contains the names of those who served in the Civil War from the townships of Cranbury, Monroe and South Brunswick, as follows: Col. Jos. McChesney; Capts. Symmes Stults and John H. Van Dorn; Lieuts. Marcus Stults, Uselma Duncan and James C. Burt; and Chas. R. Stout, Winchester S. Bennett, Austin W. Roberts, Perley F. Winchester, George W., John and Thomas J. Conover, Wm. Vreeland, Wm. Moore, James Rhodes, John T. McDowell, John H. Rue, Isaac S. Dey, Isaac V. Blackwell, Alfred and Price P. Blake, Wm. V. P. Davison, John Read, Alfred S. and Safford Perrine, Wm. H. Silvers, Salter Stults, Wm. Clayton, Thomas Dugan, Robert F. Perrine, Lewis D. Hughes; Garret, Henry A. and Edward Anderson; Jonathan Hunt, Thomas F. and James M. Applegate, Curtis W. and Leonard W. Dunham, Alfred Carman, Peter G. Rue, Cornelius Booraem, Elwood Silvers, Joseph and Thos. Jolly, Jefferson L. Rogers, James B. Snediker, Jas. Little, John Compton, Van Wickle Riggs, R. M. Brown, David Provost, Thos.

Rue and D. Chambers Lewis were appointed commissioners to transact the town- ship business until their successors should be elected. Edward A. Brown was made town clerk, and Ezekiel Silvers and Matthew A. Rue were the first chosen freeholders. In later years Abijah Applegate, Peter R. Bergen, D. C. Lewis, Gabriel M. Ten Broeck, James H. Good- win and others filled the office, and the last named was for two terms a member of the General Assembly.

CHAPTER XXXII. THE BOROUGHS OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY.
Borough of Metuchen-The origin of the name has long been defi- nitely settled. The Indians of New Jersey were divided among twenty kings, or sachems, of whom the king of the Raritans was the greatest. His domain extended all along the valley of the Raritan river, of which this locality was a part. It is said that the name Metuchen, variously spelled, is appended to a deed of land among the papers of the New Jersey Historical Society. The word in the Indian tongue means "the rolling land," and refers to the undulating character of the country. It is common tradition that a chief called Metuchen had his camp, or village, in this vicinity, and is said to have been buried on the farm formerly owned by the late Lebbeus Ayres.
The borough is situated nearly in the centre of Raritan township, and is about two miles square, with a population of three thousand. It was organized in 1900, with William R. Thornall as the first mayor. His successors have been Alexander C. Litterst, Richard H. Wilson, Samuel H. Clark, Washington Wilson, Henry B. Johnson, Jesse Jack- son, Dr. Alfred L. Ellis, Thorfin Tait, and the present incumbent, who has been three times elected. The term is two years.
It is said that a postoffice was first established in Metuchen in 1832, with George B. Stelle as postmaster. Ever since the office was removed to the central part of the town the postmasters have been the following : R. R. Freeman, Ezekiel Merritt, Freeman Edgar, Thomas Van Siclen, John J. Clarkson, J. E. Van Geisen, Albert Acken, R. O. Arnold, Charles Ayres, Nathan Robins, Howard Campbell, Edward Burroughs and David A. Power, the present incumbent.
The High School, a handsome brick building, erected in 1908, has all the modern appliances and improvements and is efficiently con- ducted by the supervising principal, Prof. Thomas G. Van Kirk. The Edgar Memorial Public School was built in 1916, from a bequest made by the late Charles S. Edgar, a life-long resident ; he also gave to the borough land for a public park, near the school. The following con- stitute the Board of Education : Charles A. Prickitt, president ; George E. Kelly, vice-president ; Stelle Manning, Mrs. Susanna Molineux, Miss Harriet Alden, Charles E. Mundy, Bernard Wittnebert, Ralph B. Annis and N. A. Roray. District clerk, O. R. Drews.
The First Presbyterian Church of Metuchen, formerly known as the Second Church of Woodbridge, was organized in or before 1767, as a paper is on record referring to its union with the Woodbridge church on August 5th of that year, proving that it had before that an

independent existence. Rev. Dr. Azel Roe was settled as pastor of the Woodbridge church in 1763, and by the union in 1767 became the co- pastor of the two churches, the Session of Woodbridge serving for both. The church was regularly incorporated as the Second Presbyterian Church of Woodbridge in 1787 and Benjamin Manning, John Conger, Ebenezer Ford, Ellis Ayres, Timothy Bloomfield, and John and Robert Ross were chosen its first trustees. It is probable that some place of worship existed on a part of the land selected as a graveyard by the early inhabitants, and there is an impression that the church standing during the Revolution was the second building upon the same spot, the former structure having been an old barn. The size of the church was about 36x24 feet, had a shingle exclosure, was unpainted and without a steeple. In 1792 it was enlarged by an addition of fifteen feet, the bids for the work being as follows : By Mr. Jonathan Freeman-"Himself 6 shillings per day ; one hand at 5 shillings, one at 4 shillings and six- pence and an apprentice at 3 shillings and sixpence ; and asks no rum, or other spirits, and will through (throw) in as much work as any other undertaker." By Mr. Johile Freeman-"For himself 6 shillings per day, & 3 journeymen at 5 shillings and sixpence per day, and will through (throw) in 10 days for one hand, and asks no spirits, if found with small beer." Jonathan secured the contract.
The union of two churches was dissolved on May 16, 1793, and in the following year Rev. Henry Cook became the pastor and served most acceptably until his death in 1824, when Rev. Michael Osborn became pastor for three years, and was followed by Rev. Holloway W. Hunt, of Kingwood, Hunterdon county, who occupied the pulpit for eighteen years. In 1829 he married Henrietta, daughter of Ezra Mundy, of Metuchen. His son, Dr. Ezra M. Hunt, was one of the most talented and useful men of his day. He was a physician and surgeon in the Union army during the Civil War, and for many years after a capable and influential official of the State Board of Health. In 1870 he wrote an accurate and comprehensive history of the town and vicinity.
A new church was built in 1836 and enlarged to its present dimensions in 1856. Rev. Peter H. Burkhardt was pastor from 1847 till i850, and was followed by Rev. Robert J. Finley, who remained until 1857, and was succeeded by Rev. Gardner S. Plumley, who resigned in 1876. He was followed by Rev. Dr. James Gilbert Mason, who is now serving his forty-third year as pastor. In the new cemetery, between the church and parsonage, may be found many names recalling the Colonial times, viz : Fitz Randolph, Campbell, Manning, Crow, Conger, Freeman, Edgar, Hampton, Compton, Martin, Vanderhoven, Tappen, Thornall, Ayres, Bloomfield, Crowell, Kelly, Acken, Mundy, Hunt, Thomas, Clarkson, Payne and others.
The First Reformed Church was organized December 27, 1857, by about forty persons, who took their letters from the Presbyterian Church.
