VII .- CHURCHES. REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH OF WALPACK.

On the 19th of August, 1716, Rev. Petrus Vas, of the Reformed Dutch Church of Kingston, visited the Minisink settlements and baptized three persons, The record shows that he made another visit the next year and on the 5th of January baptized four persons, and that on Jan. 20, 1718, he baptized five more, making twelve persons baptized during his three annual visits. The religious services held on these occasions were in the private houses of the settlers. No further atten- tion appears to have been paid to the religions interests of the community by visiting clergymen until Aug. 23, 1737, at which date six baptisms are recorded by Rev. Georg Wilhelm Mancins, the successor of Rev. Mr. Vas in the pastorate of the Reformed Dutch Church of Kingston.

Some time during this year Mr. Mancins organized the four Reformed Dutch Churches of the Minisink valley,-viz, the Mackhackemack Church, now at Port Jervis; the Minisink Church, in ancient Wal- pack, now Montagne; the Walpack Church, in the Bend of the Delaware; and the Shawanee Church, at Lower Smithfield, Pa. All these churches, except the last named, were located on the Old Mine Road. It appears from the records that Dominic Mancius had, previous to the date recorded above, with the concur- rence of the Minisink settlers, selected his protégé and prospective successor in the frontier ministry, young John Casparus Fryenmuth, and sent him to Holland to complete his education, and to return to them as pastor with the authority of the Classis of Amsterdam ; 1 for the following action of the Consistory, bearing the same date as the above record of baptisms, alludes to him as the coming minister :

" WHEREAS, Soma among us are unwilling to remunerato the minister who is coming to officiate among us, and yet wish to avail themselves of his services, it was approved and resolved by the Conalstory : That every

" GEORG WILHELM MANCIUS. "Done in Consistory, August 23, 1737."

Rev. Mr. Mancius continned to visit the churches two or three times a year until Sept. 19, 1740.

June 1, 1741, John Casparus Fryenmuth, having returned from Holland, entered upon his duties as pastor. He was married the year following, as appears from the old church record :

"1742. Joh : Casparus Fryenmuth, young man, born in Smithfield, to Lena von Ettan, young woman, born at Nytsfield; married with a license from Governeur Morris, in Jersey, by Justice Abram Van Campen, the 23d July, 1742."

Mr. Fryenmuth proved "a most acceptable and faithful minister, and withal was remarkably genial and social in his intercourse. His praise went abroad not only through all this region, but other communi- ties and churches were charmed by him." The dis- trict of country covered by his labors extended from Westbrookville, in Orange Co., N. Y., to Lower Smithfield, Pa.,-a distance of over 50 miles. At the present time more than twenty ministers are employed in the same territory.

Mr. Fryenmuth received as a salary from the four churches £70 in money and 100 schepels* of oats yearly, the agreement being that the Smithfield Church should pay in "proclamation money" and the other churches in "New York current money." April 11, 1748, the churches agreed to furnish their pastor a horse. The records read :

" They have authorized Cornelius Westbrook to purchase a horse for the Dominie and pay for it from the elder'e chest in each church, which horse the Dominie hath agreed to use exclusively for the churches, ex- cept he will use it for himself."

Nine months later the arrangement was changed. The dominie made the following entry :

" I hind myself by my signature to the four united churches of Smith- field, Walpack, Minnissinck, and Machhackemeck, pursuant with an obligation of the same date with this, henceforth to serve the churches with my own horse. For the establishment of thie I subscribe my name. " J. C. FEYENMOET."+

Mr. Fryenmoet continued in the pastorate of the churches steadily for fifteen years, closing his services Aug. 12, 1756, on account of the Indian disturbanees, which became severe at that period along the Dela- ware, and chiefly in the settlements occupied by his churches. His name does not wholly disappear from the records till the autumn of 1759, which leads to the inference that he occasionally visited these churches during three years after his permanent pas- torate was dissolved. He removed in 1756 to Kinder- hook, N. Y., and until his death, in 1778, was in charge of the churches of Kinderhook, Claverack, and Liv- ingston Manor.

Towards the close of Mr. Fryenmoet's stay on the

Delaware the Smithfield Church withdrew from the other three churches, and these latter were vacant until 1760. September 6th of that year Rev. Thomas Romeyn, of Long Island, accepted a call, and re- mained till 1772. From the time of his departure until May 11, 1785, the three churches depended upon irregular and uncertain supplies, among whom were Revs. Jacob R. Hardenbergh and Benjamin Du Bois. On the date last mentioned, Rev. Elias Van Bun- schooten was called to be the pastor. He labored very zealously with them until 1800, when he gave his services exclusively to the church at the Clove, in Wantage.

In 1800 the Walpack Church was set off to itselt, and until 1808 had no minister. Rev. James G. Force then became stated supply, remaining so until Nov. 17, 1811, when he was installed as pastor. He preached at Walpack and Hardwiek from 1811 to 1816, and served Walpaek continuously until 1827. From 1812 to 1827, 62 persons were received into the church.

In 1827 divisions in the church led to the forma- tion, on the 14th of June of that year, of a new organ- ization, called "The Lower Dutch Reformed Churel of Walpack ;" but in three months the two churches resolved to fraternize, and the new organization was accordingly dissolved. Dec. 2, 1827, Rev. Isaac S. Demund was installed pastor. Ile resigned in 1829. Rev. David Cushing, who preached as stated supply from 1831 to 1832, inaugurated a revival, which re- sulted in an addition of 120 persons to the church. Rev. Garret C. Schenck began to preach to the church in 1833, and closed his labors in 1835, when he was succeeded by Rev. James B. Hyndshaw, who remained until Oct. 9, 1839. Rev. Robert Pitts, a lieentiate of the Classis of Orange, followed in 1841, and remained until 1860. In that year the pastorate was divided, and was thereafter apportioned as Upper Walpack (Dingman's Ferry and Peters' Valley) and Lower Walpaek (Bushkill and Walpack). The first pastor at Lower Walpaek was Rev. Alexander McWilliam, who discharged the duties of the office from 1860 to 1870. Rev. John F. Shaw was installed Dee. 8, 1870. In 1877, Rev. Henry L. Rex was called, and is the present pastor (in January, 1881).

The elders of the church are Calvin Decker and David Buss; Albert Knight and John S. Smith, Dea- eons. Jonas S. Decker is superintendent of the Sun- day-school. The church membership is about 100.

Original Deed .- The original deed donating the lot for the Walpack church and burying-ground is now in the possession of Thomas G. Bunnell, of Newton. It is a eurious and quaint old document, of which the following is a verbatim copy :

"To all Christian people to whom these prances Shall Com Know ye that we thomas Brink and nicklas Schoonhovan of Wallpack in thu County of hunterdon Yeoman Know yea that we Do Send greten Know yen that we thomas Brink and nicklas Schoonhovan that we have and do this Give gran and by these prances do give grant for tho Love goud will aud afexshuns which we do Bair towards the inhabts of Wallpack

Church Buildings .- The first Walpack church was erected between 1737 and 1740 upon the land de- seribed in the above deed. The date of the erection of the second edifice is not known, but it is believed to have been soon after the close of the Revolution. This second building had become so dilapidated in 1819 that arrangements were made with the German Reformed congregation to occupy with them the church edifice which the latter had erected that year upon the site of the old Walpack church. The Dutch Reformed people soon purchased one-half of the new building, and both congregations used it in common until 1841, when the German Reformed congregation was absorbed by the Reformed Dutch Church.

In 1855 the present house of worship was built, upon the original church site. The corner-stone was laid Aug. 22, 1855, by Rev. Robert Pitts, pastor in charge. Reuben Shupe, of Sandyston, was the con- tracting builder and did the carpenter-work. The whole cost of the edifice was $1441. The building committee was Jones Smith, Calvin Decker, Henry J. Bunnell, and Jonas K. Smith. The church was dedicated Dec. 20, 1855.

OLD SHAPANACK CHURCH.

The old Shapanack church, farther up the river, on the Mine Road, was an octagonal log structure. It was built about 1770, and remained in use till 1826. The neighborhoods at Shapanack and Peters' Valley furnished chiefly the congregations for this church, although it drew some from the Walpack congrega- tion.

where he remained several months. While here he preached at Shapanack, and the result was an attempt to organize a Presbyterian Church composed of the people of that vicinity and some from the Walpack congregation. Correspondence and other mnatter re- lating to the subject are found in the minutes of the General Synod and of Presbytery of New Brunswick in 1784, 1785, and 1787. It does not appear that a Presbyterian Church was actually organized. By the removal of Mr. Thateher and the settlement of Rev. Elias Van Bunschooten in the Delaware valley the movement was checked, and what remained of the Presbyterian enterprise was united with Hardwick and Newton in 1786.

WALPACK UNION CONGREGATION.

The Walpack Union Congregation (German Re- formed) was incorporated April 15, 1820. The trus- tees named were John Bergstracer, Lewis Trauger, Philip Smith, Leonard Gariss, and George Crisman ; but of the history of the organization nothing of in- terest can be found.

WALPACK CENTRE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHI.

May 6, 1834, a notice issued to Joseph E. Edsall, Esq., clerk of the Court of Common Pleas, to the effect that on July 10, 1833, a meeting of " a religious society and congregation of Christians" was held at the house of Joseph Fuller in Walpack, and that Timothy E. Shay, Isaac Losey, Ira Fuller, Robert Bell, and Joseph Fuller were chosen trustees. May 17, 1834, Robert Bell conveyed to the society a deed for two lots of ground to be occupied for church and churchyard.

The church thus organized was known as the Pleasant Valley Methodist Episcopal Church, having a location in the neighborhood of what is now known as Walpack Centre. Services had been held for some time previous to 1833 in the houses of Methodists thereabout, and until 1837 such convenient places continued to be used. In the year named a house of worship, built of stone and completed mainly by vol- unteered labor, occupied the property set apart for that purpose by Robert Bell. Previous to 1837 the graveyard was laid out. It is still used, but the old church has been replaced by a more imposing edi- fice, set upon high ground, nearer the village. The first person buried in that graveyard was the wife of Isaac Losey, who died in 1834.

The congregation was not very numerous in 1837, but it held some earnest and active members. Among these were Ira Fuller and Isaac Losey ; the latter was exhorter and class-leader for nearly forty years. Among the earliest preachers were Revs. Shaw, Me- Dougal, Bloomer (the two latter conducted a great revival), Baker, Dandy, Long, and Pearson.

During the vacancy in the pastorate of the Walpack and Shapanack churches, between 1772 and 1785, oc- casional supplies visited them, but, owing to the dis- turbed state of the country, they were few and far In 1871 a new church was built, upon land donated by Jacob Roe. It cost $7000, and was dedicated in March, 1872. At that time the name of the organ- between. During this time Rev. Daniel Thatcher, a Presbyterian minister from North Carolina, was in the neighborhood of Shapanaek, on private business, ization was changed from "The Pleasant Valley

Methodist Episcopal Church" to "The Walpack Centre Methodist Episcopal Church." It is now on the Walpack charge, which includes two points. Timothy E. Shay is class-leader and exhorter at Walpack. He was one of the first board of trustees chosen in 1833, and has now passed the forty-eighth year of his service with this church. The assistant class-leader is I. S. Rundle. The trustees are Tim- othy E. Shay, Isaac S. Rundle, Bartley D. Fuller, Benjamin Cole, Nicholas S. Tillman, Peter P. Petty, Alfred Bevans, Cornelius D. Gunn, Joseph A. Hull. The Sunday-school superintendent is Bartley D. Fuller. The church membership is about 50.

VIII .- VILLAGES AND HAMLETS. FLATBROOKVILLE

is situated near the mouth of the Flatbrook, from which it takes its name. A mill was built here at a very early period in the settlement of the country, probably by Benjamin Barton, who appears to have been the first owner. Barton conveyed the property to George Overpeck, May 1, 1797, and Overpeck's administrator, Peter Track, conveyed it to Jonas Smith by deed bearing date May 12, 1803. Jonas Smith and his son John operated the mill for several years, when they sold it to John Gariss, of Bucks Co., Pa., who, in connection with the milling business, had also a manufactory of spinning-wheels. During his ownership, about seventy years ago, the mill was burned. He began to rebuild, but before completing it sold the property to Samuel Gariss and Jacob Shoe- maker. Mr. Gariss subsequently became the sole pro- prietor, and about twenty years ago sold the property to Elijah Rosenkrans, the present owner. Mr. Rosen- krans tore down the old mill, having built the present one near its site.

Thomas Durling built and opened the first store in Flatbrookville about 1818, and soon after sold it to Frederick Vatieken. Crynus Bloom, who married Blandina, daughter of Thomas Decker, built and kept the first hotel, some years later. About 1818, John Decker built a blacksmith-shop. In 1835, Benjamin Hull and Jacob Smith erected a clover-mill and saw- mill, and for a number of years did a prosperous business. Jacob Smith was the first postmaster of the place.

The village received quite an impulse in 1854, when Elijah Rosenkrans interested himself in its progress. He erected a new store, which he leased to Anson P. Rosenkrans, and, besides building several dwelling- houses, contributed in various ways to the prosperity of the place. At one time business was so flourishing that three stores were required to meet the demands of trade. Mr. Rosenkrans moved to Newton many years ago, but he still owns property at Flatbrook- ville, including the mills and hotel.

The Flatbrookville Delaware Bridge Company was chartered in 1869 by an act passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania and confirmed by the Legislature of

New Jersey. The charter named four commissioners in Pennsylvania and three in New Jersey, the latter being David Bunnell, Calvin Decker, and Martin Hull. The capital stock of the company was placed at $15,000, with power to increase. This enterprise contemplated the erection of a very important bridge across the Delaware at the Walpack Bend, but it was never carried through successfully.

WALPACK CENTRE

is situated on the Flatbrook, seven miles above the vil- lage last referred to. Isaac S. and Jasper W. Rundle, who had previously kept a store in the old Dr. Rosen- krans storehouse, at Stoll's, opened the first store at Walpack Centre in 1850. Ira Fuller about twenty- five years before had kept a store near the old Dimon place; the locality was then known as Pleasant Valley.

There was no post-office at the Centre until the Rundle Brothers began trading there. Previous to that Enos Johnson, a colored man, was engaged by the people of the neighborhood to bring their mail once a week from Tuttle's Corners. He also served the people in this capacity as far down as Flatbrook- ville.

IX .- BURIAL-PLACES.

There are in Walpack three public burial-places. The ground at the Flatbrookville church-old Wal- pack burying-ground-is very ancient, dating as far back as 1737, when the deed of conveyance was given by Thomas Brink and Nicholas Schoonhoven. There are no headstones old enough to mark the first inter- ments, or any records to indicate in what year ground was first broken to receive the mortal remains of the old pioneers; but doubtless the ashes of many of those whose names appear in the early records of the township repose in this quiet spot.

The old Shapanack burying-ground, on the river road, occupies a portion of the farm of Joseph Hull. This ground was used for burial purposes before the Revolution, although the oldest monument is the plain headstone at the grave of Mrs. Anna Symmes, wife of Hon. Johu Cleve Symmes, and mother-in-law of President Harrison, who died July 25, 1776. The inscription upon this stone has been given in another place, and is therefore omitted here. In this ceme- tery there are two lots which contain the oldest head- stones, but interments have long since ceased to be made in them. In the lower of these stood the old Shapanack octagonal church. An adjoining lot is occasionally used for the burial of colored people.

The third burying-ground is the Methodist ceme- tery at Walpack Centre. It was laid out in 1834, and in that year the wife of Isaac Losey was buried therein,-the first interment in the ground.

The editor would acknowledge his indebtedness to Thomas G. Bunnell, Esq., of Newton, for valuable material used in the foregoing history of Walpack township.

THE progenitor of the Hull family-one of the largest in New Jersey -was u Frenchman who came to America nhont 1640, and is supposed to have settled in South Jersey, where ho died. His wife was au English Indy of noble parentage und refinement, and died at the resi- dence uf her son Benjamin, at Baleville, Sussex Co., N. J.

Their children were two sons, of whom Benjamin, just alluded to, was grandfather of our subject, and is the common ancestor of the large Hull family and Its branches in Sussex County, It is uncertain where he was born, but his native place is thought to be in South JJerary. Ile resided, during his active business life, near Newton, N. J., and followed agricultural pursuits, He owned the farm since known as the 'Bales Farm," and subsequently cleared up a farm that is now owned by a Mr. Slater, one of the heirs of James Shotwell, and commonly known us the " Shotwell Farm," between Newton and Augusta, After clear- ing the meadows of this latter place he stocked it with cows, built a honso, and several of his danghters removed there and carried on the dairy, while himself, wife, uml remainder of the family continued on the old farm. Ho reared a family of three sons and ten daughters, all of whom were married and reared families.

The old gentleman lived to the ripe age of ninety years, and died on his homeatend, and was buried in a little graveyard on the bill on his farin well known as the "Shotwell graveyard." His wife was Anne Duer, whom father was a large landowner and resided between Newton and Sparta. One of her sisters married Daniel Predmore, who wie subsequently appointed a Julge of the County Court, and the reminder of her father & family removed to Ohio.

Mrs. Benjamin Hull was very religious, and after her husband's death began the erection of a church with her own funds ; but after tho structure had been covered, and was in an unfinished state, the fouring not yet being laid, the work was cut short by her death, For several years afterwards it was used for divine worship in an unfinished state, Int subsequently sold, and the proceeds used to build the graveyard fonce. She is described by her granddaughter, Mrs. Nancy Wood, n daughter of John HuH, as being a small, delicate looking woman, full of activity and good sense, and possessed of great moral worth and Christian excellence. By the anme person Benjamin Hull is described, when very old, na n Jurge, noble-looking man, somewhat bent over with ngo, with his hair hanging far down his back tied in a long queue, and with light eyes filled with good nature. Their children were l'harity, burn March 10, 1752, married Samuel Jones, who resided nt Myrtle Grove, in ohl Newton township; Nancy, born April 25, 1753, married Peter Boll, of Swartswood ; Surah, born Oct. 21, 1751, became the wife of Thomas Kaya, who resided near Angusta; Mary, born March 6, 175G, married Moses Morris, who resided ut Myrtle Grove; Khuda, born Nov. 24, 1758, was the wife of Martin Ryerson, of Myrtle Grove; Elizabeth, born Oct. 20, 1759, married William A.
