Fourteenth Regiment, which was now first to arrive on the spot. At the battle of the Monocacy the regiment suffered dreadfully. Captain Chauncey Harris, of Company C, was wounded through the left breast while in command of the regiment, and, after being placed in an ambulance, was shot through the right knee-joint by a rebel bullet. The command of the regiment then devolved upon Captain Janeway, of Company K, the only officer left able to take charge of it.
Of the nine hundred and fifty men who left New Jersey in the Fourteenth Regiment, but ninety-five remained for duty on July 9, 1864, and these without an officer to cominand them.
The Fourteenth Regiment next engaged the enemy at Opequon Creek, on July 19th, and here lost seven inen killed, and sixty-two wounded. Among thie killed was Major Verdenburgh, who was struck by a shell in the breast, while at the head of his regiment ordering a charge upon a rebel battery. He expired in a few moments. In this engagement Captain Bodwell, of Company E, was wounded.
The great battle of the Shenandoah was that of Cedar Creek, now made famous by the inspiring genius of Sheridan, who, after defeat by the rebels, came upon the field in time to revive the courage of his men and insure a signal victory. This battle occurred on the 18th of October, the rebel loss being great. The campaign having rescued the Shenandoah valley and insured the safety of the national capital, the brigade, with its Fourteenth Regiment, was transferred to City Point, where, on the 25th of March, the regiment participated in the battle of Hatcher's Run, resulting in the downfall of Petersburg and the surrender of Lee two weeks later.
The Fourteenth Regiment was mustered out of service at Wash- ington, D. C., on the 18th of June, 1865. It left New Jersey with nine hundred and fifty men and, notwithstanding the many recruits which had strengthened it from time to time, it had, at the expiration of three years, only two hundred and thirty men to muster out of the service.
The Thirtieth Regiment, which contained one company, viz., Company B, from this county, was mustered into service for nine months, at Flemington, New Jersey, September 17, 1862, and placed under the command of Colonel Alexander E. Donaldson. The officers of Company B were : Captain, John N. Lewis ; first lieutenant, James D. Vanderveer ; second lieutenant, Thomas Moore. Captain Lewis resigned December 26, 1862, and Lieutenant Vanderveer took his place, serving as captain till June 27, 1863, when the regiment was mustered out.
The regiment left the state September 30, 1862. It was sent to Washington, and was assigned to the provisional brigade, Casey's division, defenses of Washington, and participated in but one battle, that of Chancellorsville, May 2 and 3, 1863.
CHAPTER XII.
SOCIETIES, COLONIAL AND REVOLUTIONARY .- FREE MASONRY.
HE following history of Elizabeth Chapter, No. I, of the New Jersey Society, Sons of the American Revolution, is contributed by Miller C. Earl. The article is one which is peculiarly apropos at this point, since the association serves as one of the potent factors by which memories of noble deeds are kept alive and the fire of patriotism kept burning.
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
On July 4, 1893, a patriotic celebration was held in the historic First Presbyterian church of Elizabeth, under the auspices of the resi- dent members of the Sons of the American Revolution. Much local interest being manifested at that time in the object and purposes of the Sons of the American Revolution, it was decided, at a meeting held September 12th, following, to organize a local chapter composed of members of the Sons of the American Revolution residing in Union county. On September 26, 1893, a constitution and by-laws were adopted, and officers elected, as follows : President, Walter Chandler ; vice-president, Joseph G. Ogden ; secretary, Charles H. K. Halsey ; treasurer, Bauman L. Belden ; managers, George T. Parrot, Edward M. Wood, Erastus G. Putnam.
This organization, thus commenced, was the first of the local offshoots from state societies of the Sons of the American Revolution taking the name of "chapters."
The purpose of the organization is to arouse interest in its locality in matters relating to the Revolutionary war, and thereby increase the membership and usefulness of the state society, mark places in the city and county of Revolutionary interest and celebrate historic events.
Among the principal events connected with the chapter thus far, may be mentioned the dinner of June 8, 1894, on the anniversary of the battle of Elizabeth Town. It was held after the annual meeting, was attended by many of the members of the chapter and distinguished guests, and was made interesting by patriotic addresses. Another important action of the chapter took place on the 4th of July, 1896, when it assembled in the First Presbyterian church, Eliz- abeth, and, after appropriate preliminary exercises, proceeded to mark the graves of eighteen Revolutionary patriots, in the adjoining

graveyard, with the official metallic markers of the Sons of the American Revolution. The graves marked included those of many notable patriots, including Rev. James Caldwell and his wife (both killed during the war, as is familiarly known), General Elias Dayton, and others. Members of Boudinot Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, were in attendance and joined in the ceremonies.
The chapter, starting with twenty-eight members, now numbers forty-six. Two have been lost by death, one of whom was the Hon. Robert S. Green, ex-governor of New Jersey and former president of the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
The membership list of Elizabeth Chapter, No. I, is as follows (June, 1897) :

DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. [BY MARY N. PUTNAM.]
The celebration of the centennial of American independence, in 1876, roused the enthusiasm of many a patriotic lieart, and caused him to ask the question, "Did iny ancestors do anything for the cause of independence?" This led later to the formation of patriotic societies, such as the Sons of Revolutionary Sires, in California, the Sons of the Revolution, in New York, and the Sons of the American Revolution, in New Jersey. The main motive of these societies is love of country, and the leading object of their efforts is to perpetuate a spirit of true Americanism.
Daughters of Revolutionary patriots were not admitted to these organizations, and a plan was adopted to organize an independent society to be named Daughters of the American Revolution. On the IIth of October, 1890, about thirty women of Washington, filled with patriotic impulses, met at the Strathmore Arms and organized the society, Mrs. William D. Cabell being the presiding officer. A

constitution was framed, thoroughly revised, and adopted by the national society, which met May 26, 1891. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, wife of the president of the United States, was elected first president- general. The first continental congress met on Washington's birthday, February 22, 1892. For convenience the society is divided into chapters, whose officers are responsible to the national society. These chapters, at the continental congress, elect a state regent, who represents their interest in the board of management,-every state regent being, by the constitution, a member of that board. There are no state societies.
The first chapter organized was in Chicago, March 20, 1891, five months after the formal organization of the national society.
On April 17, 1891, a preliminary meeting was held at Morristown, New Jersey, of New Jersey Daughters, and officers of the society were appointed. On April 29th these officers met at the residence of Mrs. Alexander McGill, in Jersey City, to perfect its organization. The ladies present were Mrs. Alexander McGill and Mrs. Joseph Warren Revere, honorary regents ; Mrs. William W. Shippen, state regent ; Mrs. DeWitt C. Mather, registrar ; Mrs. Howard C. Richards, secretary ; Mrs. Richard F. Stevens, treasurer,-forming the New Jersey Chapter, and inviting members from all parts of the state. Their numbers increased so fast that local chapters were formed, and now number sixteen. The name of the New Jersey Chapter was changed to Nova Casarea, of which Mrs. David A. Depue, of Newark, was appointed regent.
Mrs. E. G. Putnam was requested by Mrs. Shippen, state regent, to form a chapter in Elizabeth, and this she organized September 27, 1893, with fifteen members. Regent, Mrs. E. G. Putnam ; vice-regent, Mrs. B. H. Campbell ; secretary, Mrs. C. M. Pyne ; treasurer, Mrs. Otis A. Glazebrook ; registrar, Mrs. L. M. Bond ; historian, Mrs. H. P. Whitehead, -giving it the name of the Boudinot Chapter. Mrs. E. G. Putnam and Mrs. B. H. Campbell are lineal descendants of the Huguenot refugee, Elie Boudinot, who left France after the revocation of the edict of Nantes and came to New York, in 1687. Her great- grandsons, Elias and Elisha Boudinot, were the celebrated Revolutionary patriots of Elizabeth, New Jersey. General Elias Boudinot's residence was on East Jersey street, now occupied by the Home for Aged Women. Mrs. Putnam presented the chapter with a gavel having the following inscription engraved on a silver plate : "This gavel was carved from an original solid oak beam in the Boudinot mansion, Elizabeth, New Jersey, where General Elias Boudinot entertained General Washington at luncheon, April 23, 1789, on his way to his inauguration as first president of the United States ; and presented to the Boudinot Chapter, Elizabeth, New Jersey, Daughters of the American Revolution, organ- ized September 27, 1893, by Mary N. Putnam, regent."
56
HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY
Among the members of this chapter are descendants of the Rev. James Caldwell, Governor William Livingston, Colonel Francis Barber, Colonel Oliver Spencer and Captain William Brittin, of Elizabeth Town ; also Commodore Thomas Trixton, General Philip Schuyler, Colonel Samuel Washington, Colonel Adam Comstock, Major Rufus King, and Captain Henry Putnam.
As it is the proud privilege of Elizabeth to have played a very prominent part in the great war drama of 1776, it becomes the duty of the Daughters of the American Revolution to transmit to succeeding generations the history of the high character, sterling virtues, simple manners and immortal principles of their ancestors.
THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF THE COLONIAL DAMES OF AMERICA. [BY MARY N. PUTNAM.]
While the period of eligibility of the Revolutionary societies commences with the legislation of committees and congresses leading up to the Declaration of Independence, and finishes with the proclamation of peace, in 1783, that of the Society of Colonial Dames begins with the first settlement of the country, and ends with the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
The objects of the society are, "with a true spirit of patriotisin to seek to inspire genuine love of country in every heart, to create popular interest in American history, to collect manuscripts, relics and memen- toes of bygone days for preservation, and to teach the young that it is a sacred obligation to do justice and honor to heroic ancestors, whose ability, valour, sufferings and achievements are beyond all praise."
The eligibility consists in "being descended from some ancestor of worthy life who caine to reside in an American colony prior to 1750, and who rendered some efficient service to his country during the Colonial period," such as provincial officers, members of assemblies, conventions and committess, and of the judiciary ; commissioned officers of the army and navy, and, in New Jersey, founders of Princeton and Rutgers Colleges.
The national society is divided into state societies, composed of the thirteen original states, and the District of Columbia. Each colonial state has its own by-laws, eligibility list and board of management, uniting under a national board, which meets in council, once in two years, in the city of Washington. Their deliberations are private and communications to the public press are given only by permission of the board of management. In the non-colonial states there are associate societies, and the members must be admitted through the colonial state in which their ancestors resided.
On April 10, 1892, the New Jersey Society of the Colonial Dames of Ainerica was incorporated at Trenton, New Jersey.
The names of the incorporators are as follows : Mrs. S. Meredith
57
HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY
Dickinson, Mrs. S. Duncan Oliphant, Mrs. Elmer E. Green, Miss Mary Dickinson, Miss Elizabeth A. Smith, Miss Caroline E. Nixon, Miss Annie B. McIllvaine, Miss Justina L. Atterbury, Mrs. Frederick C. Lewis, Mrs. W. W. L. Phillips, Mrs. Cleaveland Hilson, Mrs. Hugh H. Hamill, Mrs. Henry M. Barbour, Mrs. Hughes Oliphant, Miss Helen Griswold Green. The official corps chosen comprised : Mrs. S. Meredith Dickinson, president ; Miss Caroline E. Nixon, secretary ; Miss Mary Dickinson, treasurer; and Mrs. Frederick C. Lewis, registrar.
"The places in the state where the business of such corporation is to be conducted are the city of Trenton- and such other cities as thie business of the corporation inay from time to time require."
In the larger cities of the state prominent members are selected and called "founders," to invite those who are eligible and acceptable to join the society. Two general meetings are held during the year. The spring, or annual, meeting is always at Trenton, when officers of the state board are elected. The autumn meeting may be held else- where, and is called the "commemoration" meeting. To this the officers in the thirteen colonial states are invited. It is an intellectual and social treat. Such a combination of women of position, beauty, refinement, talents and cultivation forms a high social order, which cannot be surpassed.
FREE MASONRY IN UNION COUNTY.
The first Masonic lodge in the state of New Jersey was constituted at Newark, in the county of Essex, on the 13th day of May, in the year 1761, by the name of St. John's Lodge, No. I. The warrant for this lodge was granted by R. W. George Harrison, Provincial Grand Master of the state New York.
The first celebration of the festival of St. John, the Evangelist, was held on Monday, December 27, 1761. A few Master Masons from Elizabeth Town were included in the list of visiting brethren. This constitutes the earliest record of the presence of members of the fraternity residing within the limits of the present county of Union.
A warrant was granted on the 24th of June, 1762, by R. W. Jeremy Gridley, "Provincial Grand Master of North America," to Jonathan Hampton, Esq., to constitute a lodge by the name of Temple Lodge, No. I, at Elizabeth Town. This lodge was duly organized, but the records of its proceedings have never been obtained.
Jonathan Hampton was one of the foremost citizens of the town. He took an active interest in all the efforts made to obtain a redress of grievances from the government of Great Britain, but when the time arrived to dissolve allegiance from that government, he could not surrender his attachment to the mother country. He removed to the city of New York, at that time in the possession of the British army.

HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY
During the war of the Revolution many of those who volunteered their services from Elizabeth Town became members of the fraternity. Of this number Captain Aaron Ogden was appointed Junior Warden of the Army Lodge, No. 31, warranted by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.
At the convention of Free and Accepted Masons of the state of New Jersey, held at New Brunswick, December 18, 1786, "for the purpose of establishing a grand lodge in the said state," Daniel Marsh, John Du Van and James Du Van, all residents of Elizabeth Town, were present. Daniel Marsh was at that time a member of the general assembly, and was unanimously elected Junior Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge.
At the first meeting of the Grand Lodge, after the organization, held at New Brunswick, January 30, 1787, a warrant of dispensation was issued by the M. W. Grand Master, David Brearley, Esq., to the "Honorable Brother Elias Dayton," for the purpose of establishing a Masonic lodge at Elizabeth Town.
At the next meeting of the Grand Lodge, held April 2, 1787, the dispensation was returned and a new dispensation was issued by the Grand Master to "Brother John Du Van, for Master of the lodge at Elizabeth Town." The effort at that time to organize a lodge proved unsuccessful.
At the celebration of the festival of St. John the Baptist, held by the Grand Lodge in the city of New Brunswick, on June 24, 1788, Daniel Marsh and John DuVan were present. At tlie session of the Grand Lodge held at Newark, December 30, 1788, the Hon. Jonathan Dayton and Captain Aaron Ogden were present.
There was an interval of many years before any attempt was made to organize a lodge within the limits of the present county of Union. The first lodge was warranted in the (then) township of Westfield, (now city of Plainfield) on November 11, 1817, as Jerusalem Lodge, No. 40. The warrant was granted to John Allen, W. M. ; Elias Runyon, S. W., and William D. Sherwood, J. W. This lodge continued its work until the year 1834, when it was obliged to suspend its regular meetings, owing to the cruel opposition to Masonry at that time. Colonel John Allen and Dr. Elias Runyon continued their membership up to the time when the lodge closed. The second lodge was warranted by the Grand Lodge, on November 18, 1818, under the name of Washington Lodge, No. 41, at Elizabeth Town.
The first officers under the warrant were, Oliver Hatfield, W. M .; Alfred Stone, S. W. ; and Thomas P. Walworth, J. W. This lodge ceased work in the year 1828.
The third lodge was organized at the town of Rahway, November 9, 1824, under a warrant from the Grand Lodge, to Robert Dennis, W. M .; David Albertson, S. W .; Noah Silvers, J. W. It was known and distinguished as La Fayette Lodge, No. 49. This lodge continued
