The next township formed was that of Upper Freehold, taken from Freehold and Shrewsbury. The exact date of its erection cannot be found, but it is known to be prior to 1730, as an as- sessment roll of the township for that year is now in existence. It embraced, in addition to its present territory, a part of that of the town- ship of Millstone and a large area in what is now Ocean County.
In 1749 that part of Shrewsbury township lying south of Barnegat Inlet was taken off, and erected into the township of Stafford, it being entirely within the limits of the present county of Ocean ; and in 1767 another por- tion of the territory of Shrewsbury was cut off, and formed into the township of Dover, this also being in what is now Ocean County.

HISTORY OF MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.
Jersey Legislature enacted that "the jurisdiction of this State in and over a lot of land situate at the point of Sandy Hook, in the county of Monmouth, containing four acres, on which a light-house and other buildings are erected,1 shall be, and the. same is hereby ceded to and vested in the United States of America for- ever." And on the 12th of March, 1846, the State ceded to the United States the jurisdic- tion over that part of Sandy Hook "lying north of an east and west line through the mouth of Young's Creek at low water, and ex- tending across the island or cape of Sandy Hook from shore to shore, and bounded on all sides by the sea and Sandy Hook Bay," the government to retain jurisdiction over these lands only as long as they are used for military or other public purposes, and the civil and crim- nal laws of New Jersey to be operative within the ceded territory so far as not incompatible with its use by the United States for the purposes mentioned.
Howell township was erected by an act of the Legislature passed February 23, 1801. It was taken from Shrewsbury, and at the time of its erection, embraced, in addition to its present territory, that which was afterwards taken for the formation of Wall township and also some in the northern part of Ocean Connty.
; An act of Legislature, passed February 28, 1844, set off parts of the townships of Freehold and Upper Freehold, and of Monroe township in Middlesex County, to form the township of Millstone, the boundaries of which will be given in full in the history of that township. The part taken from Monroe township was (as be- fore mentioned) annexed to the county of Mon- mouth, but was restored to Middlesex by an act passed in the following year. In 1847 another small piece of Monroe township was annexed to Monmouth County and to the township of Mill- stone.
In 1844 the township of Jackson was ererted from parts of Frechold, Upper Freehold and Dover. This township is now wholly in the
county of Ocean, but when erected it embraced a small area of what is now Millstone township, Monmouth County, this part being annexed to Millstone in 1846.
Plumsted township was erected from a part of Jackson in 1845, and Union was set off. and formed into a township from parts of Stafford and Dover in 1846. These townships are now in Ocean County.
In 1847 parts of the townships of Freehold, Shrewsbury and Middletown were taken to form the new township of Atlantic. In 1848 Marl- borough, Manalapan and Raritan townships were erected, the latter being taken from the old township of Middletown and the others from Freehold. Ocean township was formed from a part of Shrewsbury by an act passed in February, 1849. It included the present town- ship of Neptune, and the greater part of the township of Eatontown.
In 1850 the southern part of Monmouth County, embracing the larger part of its terri- tory, was cut off to form the county of Ocean, which was erected by an act approved February 15th in the year mentioned. The part of the act having reference to the line of division is as follows :
" All that part of the county of Monmouth contained within the following boundaries, viz. : beginning at Manasquan inlet and mouth of Manasquan river ; thence up the middle of said river to the first bridge over the same ; thence westerly to a corner on the south side of said river near the old bridge; thence southwesterly to the road leading to Jackson's mills ; thence along said road till it strikes the line between Howell and Jackson townships ; thence along said line to the northeast corner of Jackson township ; thence along the line between Jack- son and Freehold townships till it strikes the road leading from Freehold to Mount Holly ; thence up the middle of said road to the Plum- sted line ; thence down said line to Moses Ivins' floodgate bridge over the Lahaway creek, being the beginning corner of Plumsted township; thence following the Plumsted line, the several courses thereof, to the line between Burlington and Monmouth counties ; thence along said line to the sea-shore; thence along the sea to the

place of beginning, be, and the same is hereby erected into a separate county, to be called the county of Ocean ; and the said lines shall here- after be the division lines between the counties of Monmouth, Burlington and Ocean."
Wall township (so called in honor of Gar- ret D. Wall) was erected in 1851 from the south- eastern part of Howell township, extending along the ocean shore from Shark River southward to the Manasquan. In 1857 the townships of Matawan and Holmdel were erected, both being taken from the territory of Raritan township.
A township called " Lincoln " was erected in 1867 from a part of the territory of Ocean township. But in the following year the act erecting it was repealed, and the township of Lincoln was erased from the map of Mon- mouth County.
Eatontown township was formed from parts of Ocean and Shrewsbury in 1873, and Nep- tune, the youngest of the townships of Mon- mouth County, was erected from a part of the territory of Ocean township by an act of the Legislature passed in February, 1879.

CHARLES PARKER, son of Thomas and Sarah Stout Parker, was born on the 27th of April, 1787, in what was then Freehold township. The Parkers were among the first settlers of Monmouth County. Thomas Parker was a large land-owner in the vicinity of what is now called Smithburg, owning several farms, all of which were then in Freehold township, now in Millstone, Manalapan and Jackson townships. The mother of Charles Parker was one of the Stout family, so numerous at the present day in Monmouth, Hunterdon and Mercer Counties. The Stout family descended from the famous Penelope, whose shipwreck at Sandy Hook and subsequent adventures among the Indians have been narrated. She bore her husband (Richard Stout) seven sons and three daughters, and lived to see her offspring multiply to five hundred and two. She died in her one hundred and tenth year.
Although Thomas Parker was in comfortable circumstances, it became necessary for some of his numerous family to leave home and shift for themselves. When quite young, his son Charles went as clerk to Barzillai Hopkins, then the most enterprising merchant in his section, who had two large mercantile establishments, one located at New Egypt and the other at Tom's River. He served as clerk at both of those towns (principally at Tom's River) for seven years. In August, 1808, he married, at Tom's River (where he then resided), Sarah S., daugh- ter of Captain Joseph Coward, a soldier of the Revolution, who had served in the Continental line throughout that war. After his marriage Charles Parker commenced house-keeping at Forked River, where he kept a store for two or three years, and served also as wreck-master for three years, his district extending along the whole coast of Monmouth County, from Sandy Hook to Egg Harbor. He then returned to Frechold township and settled on a farm near Hartshorne's Mill. About that time emigration from the Eastern States to what was called the Miami country (in Ohio) began, and he went there and bought a tract of land where the city of Dayton now stands, intending to remove there the next season with his family. Upon his return the

leaders of the Democratic party, to which he be- longed, persuaded him to remain and run for sheriff of Monmouth County, then including what is now Ocean County. He was nomi- nated and elected in the fall of 1814. He, of course, forfeited the part of the money he had paid on the purchase in Ohio, but some twenty years afterwards the owner of the land, hav- ing sold it for a large advance, generously re-
turned him the money he had paid.
About the year 1832, Mr. Parker purchased a large farm and mill property near Colt's Neck, in Monmouth County, to which he intended to remove, but being again chosen treasurer of the State, and also appointed the first cashier of the Mechanics' and Manufacturers' Bank of Trenton, he, in the course of two or three years, sold the farm. He continued as cashier and president of the bank for many years, and held several positions at vari- ous times under the local govern- ment of Trenton, such as commit- teeman when it was a township, and subsequently as member of the Common Council under the city government, also as alderman for five years.
In 1848 and 1849 he resided in the town of Free- hold, where he was a town com- mitteeman, and gave valuable aid in dividing the property between Freehold and the then new town- ships of Manala- pan and Marl- boro'. Af- terward he assisted as a commission- and the new county of Ocean.
After serving as sheriff for three years Mr. Parker was elected, in the fall of 1817, a member of the House of Assem- bly, and re-elect- ed in 1818 and 1819, and again in 1821. While a member of As- sembly, in 1821, he was chosen by joint meeting State treasurer of New Jersey, and re-elected to the same office every year to and including 1831. Again, in 1833, he was elected State treasurer, and re-elected Charles Pastaro in 1834 and -1835, thus holding that important office by yearly elections under all par- ' er in division of the property between Monmouth ties for thirteen years. While treasurer, he held also during most of the time the position of State About the year 1850, Mr. Parker returned to the city of Trenton, where he resided until his death, which occurred on the 4th of October, 1862. He lived to see his son Joel nominated for Governor of the State on September 4, 1862, but did not survive the election, which took place on November 4th. He was very librarian. In 1835 he was appointed by joint meeting one of the judges of the Court of Com- mon Pleas of the county of Hunterdon, the city of Trenton (where he resided at the time), being ' then in that county. He was also one of the commissioners who built the present State Prison.

anxious to live until after election, as he often expressed himself, having full confidence in the election of his son.
After Mr. Parker returned to Trenton to re- side, he did not engage in active business. His life had been a very busy one. Few men had better business qualifications. He did not have advantages of early education and was wholly a self-made man. All his spare hours while a clerk, were spent in study and reading. Thus he acquired knowledge which enabled him to dis- charge the most important trusts with an ability equal to any with whom he came in contact. Having a strong intellect, Charles Parker be- came one of the prominent men in New Jersey, enjoying the respect and close friendship in early days of such men as Richard Stockton, George Wood, Garret D. Wall, Peter D. Vroom, Stacy G. Potts, Henry W. Green, William L. Dayton, Peter Vredenburgh and Daniel B. Ryall, all of whom he frequently met socially and in busi- ness matters. He was a man of great integrity of character, and was often chosen as executor and guardian where large estates were involved. He had a legal caste of mind, and being familiar with business, he was sought out and consulted by his neighbors, to whom he gave advice, with- out charge, freely on all matters concerning their welfare. He had four children, viz., Helen, Mary, Joel and Charles. Helen mar- ried Rev. George Burrowes, and died in Maryland in 1848 ; Mary resides with her son, Rev. Charles P. Glover, in Sussex County, New Jersey ; Charles resides in Philadelphia ; and Joel, now a justice of the Supreme Court, lives at Freehold, his place of residence for over forty years.
QUARTERMASTER-GENERAL OF NEW JERSEY.
Jonathan Rhea, 1813-21. Garret D. Wall, 1824-30.
Lewis Perrine, 1855 to present time (1885).
LEWIS PERRINE, Quartermaster-General of New Jersey, was born in Freehold township, Monmouth County, on the 15th of September, 1815. He attended the High School at Law- renceville and went to Princeton College, where he graduated in 1838. He studied law, and for a short time after his admission to the bar fol- | 1844.
lowed the practice of his profession. He was the military secretary of Governor Fort and was also on the staff of Governor Price. In 1855 he was appointed quartermaster-general. He made himself thoroughly acquainted with the duties of that position, and during the war of the Rebellion which followed, proved him- self an excellent officer by his industry, energy and perseverance in equipping troops and for- warding them to the field. At the close of the war he was nominated by Governor Parker and confirmed by the Senate as brevet major-gen- eral.

and others presented a petition to the Assembly for leave to set forth certain illegal proceedings held at the late annual election in Monmouth County. Subsequently the Assembly resolved : " That the election of Messrs. Walton, Hendrick- son and Henderson was illegal, and that the same thereupon is void." Also, resolved : "That in the opinion of this House the late annual election in the County of Monmouth was illegal, as well in the choice of a sheriff as of the mem- bers of this House; and no Coroners having been chosen at said election, and doubts arising whether there is any other officer in said county to whom a writ for a new elec. tion can be properly directed, a law ought to be passed for a new election in said County." On the same day a peti- tion was read, praying for a division of the county, and that a new county be set off from the territory of Monmouth. Subsequently a bill was introduced and passed for a new election. At the second session, on the 26th of February, 1786, Elisha Walton and Joseph Stillwell presented a cer- tificate of election, and were admitted. The same day a petition was presented from citizens of Monmouth asking for a law enabling them to vote by ballot, and recommend- ing a general law, to apply to the whole State, for the same purpose.
On the 27th, Peter Schenck appeared and took his seat in the House.
