VI .- CHURCHES.

When this township was cut down to its present boundaries it was left with but one church edifice, which once belonged to the Christians. It has not been occupied, save semi-occasionally, for many years, and there is no church organization in the township at the present time.

VII .- CEMETERIES.

There is but one cemetery in Hardwick, and that is located in the south part of School District No. 78, on the road from Slabtown to Marksboro'. The Vass, Hill, Konkle, Savercool, Walters, Van Auken, Lam- bert, Crisman, Kilpatrick, Hunt, and some other fam- ilies are represented among the interments.

VIII .- SOCIETIES. HARDWICK TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.

This society is one of the things of the past, and the men who formed it have all passed away. In the year 1829 or 1830 (date uncertain, as the records are lost) the "Hardwick Temperance Society" was formed upon the basis of the old pledge. Judge John Armstrong was its first president. It was deemed ad- visable to hold public meetings upon the subject, and

The pioneer grist-mill in this township was built by Peter B. Shafer about the close of the Revolu- tionary war. The old mill-site is now occupied by the saw-mill of A. J. Hill, who is engaged in the lum- ber business and the manufacture of axe-helves.

In 1790, Judge Armstrong built a forge a short dis- tance above Paulina for the purpose of making re- fined iron from pig metal, and, the business proving unprofitable, he abandoned it after a few years.

The walls of the old cotton-factory, built by Col. Mark Thomson, on the Hardwick site of the Paulins- . kill, about half-way between Paulina and Marksboro', are still standing, and the factory was in operation as late as 1835. The property is now owned by J. I. Blair.

The pioneer saw-mill at Marksboro' was built by Mark Thomson previous to 1800, and now owned by Jacob Van Horn.

The sash- and blind-factory at Paulina is operated . by Heltermeyer & Snyder.

The old Wintermute saw-mill is still in operation, and owned by George Wintermute.

The sorghum-factory, below Wintermute's mill, on the Paulinskill, is owned and operated by G. Sim- mons.

The saw-mill and tannery property at Slabtown is now owned by James Hill.

J. MeGrath owns and operates a saw-mill on Blair Creek. The saw-mill on Jacksonburg Creek is owned and operated by N. Conklin.

The Alexander Dunn grist-mill, at the head-waters of Blair Creek, is owned and operated by William Pinkney.

KNOWLTON.

I .- GEOGRAPHICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE.

KNOWLTON is one of the northwest townships of the county, and was formed from Oxford in 1764, and embraced at that time all of Blairstown and a part of Hope townships. The name of the township was de- rived from its natural features or the appearance of its surface. It is bounded on the northeast by Blairs- town, southeast by Hope and Oxford, southwest by the Delaware River, and northwest by Pahaquarry township, and covers an area of 25.13 square miles, or 16,083 acres of land. The soil in the valley of Paulinskill and along the Delaware River is a rich alluvial moukl, while that portion lying up against the Blue Mountain is a mixture of conglomerate and gravelly loam, and the southeastern portion of the township is a mixture of different soils, according to location.

IT-NATURAL FEATURES.

The surface of this township is very uneven, being covered by a larger number of small hills or knolls, some of which are limestone knobs. From the large number of knolls the township derived its name, and for many years was known and written Knoll-town. The Blue Mountain forms the north border, between this township and Pahaquarry, and the northwest corner of this township lies in the celebrated Water Gap. The principal streams are the Paulinskill, which crosses the township from northeast to south- west and empties into the Delaware a short distance below Columbia village ; Yard's Creek, which empties into Paulinskill at Hainesburg; and Shawpocussing and Centreville t'reeks, which flow southwesterly into the Delaware River. There are two other small creeks in the south part of the township, falling into the Delaware River at Ramsaysburg.

III .- EARLY SETTLEMENTS AND PIONEER INCI- DENTS.

Most of the pioneers of what is now Knowlton township were Germans by birth and education, as well as habits, bringing with them the forms and cus- toms then prevalent in the " Enderland." Honest industry was one of the cardinal virtues of the pio- neer Germans along the shores of the Delaware. Their religion was that for which Luther battled and suffered. Their love of freedom brought them to this land of free speech, " flowing with milk and honey," where they could worship the God they revered with-

out fear of molestation from any one, whether of Church or State. Among the little band of pioneers that found their way thither we find the name of Jacob Engle, located a short distance north of what is now Delaware Station, where he took up a large tract of land. It has been subdivided, sold, and re- sold, until none of it remains in the Engle (or Angle, as it is now spelled ) name. Mr. Angle's old planta- tion is now owned by Bowers, Brown, and Cool.

The farm upon which Matthias Cummings lives, just out from Delaware Station, was first occupied by Nicholas Albertson, a grandson of Cornelius Albert- son. Mr. Cummings has lived upon the farm since 1846, succeeding Mr. Albertson, the original settler.

Jacob Cummings was the original owner of the farm upon which William F. Albertson now lives. Cummings was succeeded by Nicholas Albertson, then by William F., the present owner.

Robeson, another pioneer, located where James Hutchinson now lives. Robeson was succeeded on that farm by Cornelius Albertson.

The "Robeson Rift," just below where the railroad crosses the Delaware, derived its name from the cir- cumstance which caused the death of Elam Robeson, a son of the old pioneer. In 1777 the white settlers upon the opposite shore, in Pennsylvania, had been driven from their homes by the savage hirelings of British gold, and to all appearances the settlement and clearings had been abandoned by both white man and redskin. The opportunity seemed to pre- sent itself to the eller Robeson, together with the temptation of those idle fields lying just across the river, when the old gentleman thought it would be a good investment to cultivate the neighboring fields. Accordingly, he sent his hired man and his son Ehun over to plow and sow, without the slightest idea of what the harvest would be, other than whent and corn. Taking their trusty rifles with them, they were very careful for awhile to keep them at hand,-fastened to the plow while working with that, or to the drag while putting in the grain, etc.,-until the thing be- came rather monotonous, and, not thinking that they were closely watched by a few lurking Indians, they became careless, and left their rifles on one side of the field while they went across and back. They performed this act of carelessness once too often. Their rifles were seized by the Indians when they were on the opposite side of the field, and an attempt to capture the boys was made. The hired man, being a good

swimmer, plunged into the river, and, by diving and swimming nnder water quite a distance, escaped with his life. The Robeson boy thought to cross on the rift, ran in that direction, and when about half-way across was shot by the Indians. From that time to the present that gravel bar has been known as " Ro- beson Rift."

Several years before the Revolutionary war, Robert Allison came to America and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by M. K. Allen. He came from England, and was an ardent Episcopalian. He con- tributed largely towards the building of the old Epis- copal church down at Ramsaysburg, also for the snp- port of the rector.

James Ramsay, after whom the hamlet was named, came from Ireland, and in 1795 settled on the prop- erty now owned by Mary Van Kirk and James Ram- say, at Ramsaysburg.

Jacob Brands emigrated from Germany while young, located in Bueks Co., Pa., where he married Dorothy Fiestler, also from Germany. About the year 1775, at the solicitation of her brother, Aaron Fiestler, they came to Knowlton township and set- tled on the latter's farm, two miles north from Dela- ware Station; it now belongs to the estate of James Brown. Their family consisted of three sons and one daughter, David, the eldest, being fourteen years old when they settled in Knowlton. He married Hannah Harris and located on a farm adjoining his father's, now owned by his grandson, David A. Brands. He had four sons and four daughters,-Jacob D., David, James, John B., Mary, Rachel, Dorothy, Experience. Jacob D. married Margaret Freese, and located on Paulinskill, near Hainesburg. Rachel married Wil- liam Blair, and Dorothy married Daniel Silverthorn. David married Sarah Angle, located on the Bartley farm, in Knowlton. James married Amelia Angle. John B. married Elizabeth Leida, owned and occu- pied the old Craig farm. Rachel Brands, daughter of the senior Jacob, married Daniel Brown, who was killed in his mill, near Centreville. Jacob Brands, the second son of the pioneer Jacob, married and set- tled in Knowlton. His family was two sons and three daughters. One of the sons, Daniel B., married Anna Linaberry, and raised a large family, all industrious farmers ; the other, David I., married and moved to Paterson, N. J. The daughters married David Wil- drick, James Green, and a Mr. Cooper. James Brands, third son of the first Jacob, married Rachel Vanseo- ten, and owned the farm now occupied by his son Wil- liam, at Warrington. His family were four sons and one daughter,-namely, John (married the daughter of Jacob Deeker and moved to Upper Mount Bethel, Pa.), David (went West), William (married Fanny Faunce), Jacob (married Caroline Mann), and Eleanor (married James Lisk ),-who were residents of Knowl- ton. Most of the descendants of the pioneer Jacob reside in Knowlton, and a very large majority are farmers. All bearing the name of Brands in this

region of country have descended from the emigrant Jacob .*

The Gwinnup, Kirkuff, and Albertsou farms are now owned principally by John I. Blair. The Pres- byterian parsonage at Delaware Station was the farm- house of Cornelius Albertson. The village of Dela- ware Station is mostly upon the Albertson and Gwin- nup property. Dr. Gwinnup located here in 1815, and practiced medicine for many years. With all his ec- eentricities, he was considered a good physician, and was trusted with many very critical cases. By his request his old horse, that had faithfully served him for so many years, and on many occasions seemed to be his only true and trnsty friend, was accorded the honor of conveying his remains to the cemetery, be- tween Delaware Station and Ramsaysbnrg.

Jacob Cummings was the pioneer settler on the farm now owned hy Charles Hartung. Cummings sold to Courson, and he to Henry Hartung, who was succeeded in the ownership by Charles Hartung, the present owner.

George Ripple was the original settler on the farm now owned and occupied by Cline Allen, west of the railroad, opposite Charles Hartung's.

The John Hay plantation was divided among his heirs, subsequently sold to Vankirk, who in turn sold to John I. Blair.

The farms now owned by Daniel C. Adams, G. Hiles, Harrison Blair, A. Wildrick, J. Loller, and others, in the southeast corner of the township, are parts of a traet of 1700 acres of land taken up by Alexander Adams in the latter half of the last cen- tury. His purchase was made from the proprietaries of West Jersey. .

Isaac Leida, another of those sturdy German pio- neers, located on the property now owned by William H. Swisher, a few rods south of the " Knowlton Frame" church.

Philip Snidor (now spelled Snyder) located on the farm now owned and occupied by Adam Harris, north of Centreville. A large number of the descendants of Leida and Snyder are still living in this vicinity, south- east corner of the township.

The farm now owned by Henry Teel, a short dis- tance north of Centreville, was settled upon by Wil- liam Cool.

William and John Barnes, two brothers, settled on the creek west of Centreville, taking up the farm now owned hy Henry V. Nyce, also the two farms farther west now owned by J. Dewitt.

William and John Craig located on the farm where Edward Averill lives, owned by E. Kirkhuff.

The farm now owned by Benjamin Bartow, near the village of Hainesburg, was originally owned by a man named Funger, a German, as the name readily implies.

The farm of John B. Angle, on the cast side of the

township, was located by Jacob D. Brands, and is a part of the old Hyndshaw tract, purchased by him in 1729, and surveyed by Samuel Green, deputy surveyor of the province of New Jersey.

The farm now owned by Philip Beck, north of Hainesburg, is also a part of the Ilyndshaw tract, as well as the adjoining farms of Matthias Beck, R. Cowl, and Jabez G. Smith. Among the other early settlers in this vicinity were Gershom Bartow, Jacob Beck, James Brugler, and others.

Howell Ryman located at Columbia. He was born Sept. 14, 1790, in Bueks Co., Pa., and was a member of the " Rifle Rangers" of Hunterdon Co., N. J., in the war of 1812, when they were ordered to Long Island. When he entered the army his description was as follows : Height, 5 feet 72 inches; weight, 155 pounds ; blue eyes, black hair, and regular features; age, twenty-two. It is said that he put the last stick of wood into the Columbia glass-factory furnace.

In 1756, during the Indian wars, there was a meadow along the l'aulinskill, near Columbia, known now as the "marsh," where at times the colonists kept quite a number of cavalry horses in pasture, and during one of the times a storm-cloud burst up the creek, near Walnut Valley, und deluged the whole valley below, drowning the horses and doing also an immense amount of damage, and traces of it are still visible in that locality.

& CLERICAL ANECDOTE.

Somewhere about 1820 there lived in the village of Columbia a Presbyterian minister named Bartley, an eloquent divine, who loved a good joke as well as a good horse. He subsequently moved to Hope, and one day, receiving a call from a few old parishioners, he, as was the custom in those days, set out his decan- ter and glasses to his guests, among whom was old Gen, Hill, quite a notable man in his day. Of course the " general" must be treated first, and, being fond of his "toddy," he poured out a little more than "the man of cloth" thought best for a church-member to imbibe at once, so he called out, " Hold, hold, gen- vral ; that's fourth-proof brandy." The general looked a moment at his host, and then said, " Heavens! is that so? Then here goes for a little more ;" and filled the glass to the brim and drank it with great glee, while the good old dominie laughed heartily at the general's appreciation of the quality of his liquor.

EXTRACTS FROM THE PIONEER RECORDS.

The following extracts, from the original " record book" of the township, will give a very good idea of who the pioneer settlers of this township were and what they did :

At the town meeting, March, 1769,-" This Day the Dog's Tax was laid nssido by the general Vote of the Town."

1776 .- " Henry Tenll is to haveat the rate of Nine Pounds five shillings for a year for so long a thue an hir shall keep the Widdow Draliny."

" May 1, 1776 .- Mem. WilHams Harris, the overseer of the poor, hus agreed with Jacob Toeter to keep the widow Deshay for uno year from the first day of April last past for the sum of nine pounds five shillings,

or fa proportion for the time she will be with him. Note .- Sho was not willing to go to Henry Tuels."

" Dr. Joseph Sweezy to Knowl Town. To the money in his hands as collected for the year 1768, la £: 12. 2d. This money was given into LuCAN Brass, assessor, for the year 1774, and no further account to be given of it." Thus it will be seen that the old doctor's official record was a clean one, which many official would like to have said of their record at the present day.

" November 20, 1775 .- William Stringer Recorded one stray year old Past hiffer. She is Browu, and has a Crop of hur Right Far and a slit In the same With a short Tail."

Dec. 17, 1775 .- " David Luco Recorded one struy Ham Marked with a halfpenny nudler the Right Ear, with Large Hurnes."

" By a vote of the town-meeting in the year 1786, agreed that the sum of £3 be given for the relief uf Hauus Parker as a Charity by the Town, by the Overseers of the poor of said town." She was the widow of A soldier, und this show's thut Kium lton was quite is mindful of sol- diers' widows in the Revolutionary war is in the late Rebellion.

At the town-meeting in March, 178x, " Samuel Kirkendall, Esgr., was

ages of Tax in the Itvom and stend of Rouben Manning, Inte collector lu the Years 1782, 1783, and 1784, which said Reuben Manning left un- settled when he moved out of the state. And the said Town voted that the said Sumnel Kirkendall shonkl not be made lialde for more money of which old arrenrages by the Town than he the suid Samuel Kirkendall will actually collect."

At the town-meeting in 1789, " The Town allowed the Overseers of the Poor the expense in going to the l'ort House on Town affairs "

"On the 19th of January, 1791, By order of Gabriel Ogden and Samual Kirkendall, public notice was Given by advertisement for the Township of Knowlton to meet on the 25th of this instant to Choso a Committee to take into Consideration and Inspect into Reuben Manning's present situation. Agreeable to Notice the Town Met on the aforesaid 25th of Jan'y, 1791, and Chose n Committee of three which was Samuel Kirken- dall, Esgr., Wm. Park, and Jonathan Ilill."

At the same meeting we find that Henry Hartsoll was sold for £21 104- for one year, and Cryed to James Bisshop to be returned in as good ap- parel as he now has ou.

John Caret was voted €25 the same year to keep his " Father and Mother-in-law" one year.

In the spring of 1790 the town voted a bounty of £3 as n "premium for a Wolf's head taken and killed in the township of Knowlton."

At the same time it was " Voted hy the town to send three men to al- tend a Comunittro at Newton on a day appointed hereafter, to consult measures for adopting a Republican system."

April 12, 1802, it was " Voted by the town to leave it to the discretion of the nosessur to judge who may be able to pay tax."

IV .- CIVIL ORGANIZATION.

The township of Knowlton was erected by an act of the State Legislature during its session of 1768, and the first town-meeting held on the second Tues- day in March following, of which we give herewith a correct transcript :

" At a Town Meeting held on the Second Tuesday of March, Anna 1768, for the Township of Knowlton, were chosen the following Persons, Officers for the present year : John smith, Town Clerk ; Benjamin Smith, Sr., Philip Sublor, Frecholders ; John Hunues well, Widd Lofburow, Over- weers of the Four; Isaiah Ball, Assessor; Joseph Swazoy, Collector; Heury Suover, Barnabas Swarey, Jr , Commissioners of the Roads ; John Cotouch, Cornelius Albers m.
