THE WALKERS,
of Piscataway, were intimately associated with the religious interests of the Baptist denomination several years before the principles were crystalized into church form here. Samuel Walker, Isaac and Francis Walker, are early mentioned among the landholders of the township. Samuel was a prominent citizen in the province at the time of the constitution of this Church, and after the government of the Proprietors was sur- rendered to the Royal control, he became an influential member of Lord Cornbury's Council. The name has always furnished honorable and useful members in this and neighboring Baptist churches.
THE BONHAMS.
NICHOLAS BONHAM came to Piscataway from Barnstable, Mass , about 1669, being a neighbor there of the Fitz-Randolph family. He was married January I, 1658, to Hannah Fuller, the oldest child of Samuel Fuller, one of the original passengers in the " Mayflower," and Jane Lothrop, daughter of the distinguished Puritan preacher. Their daughter, Mary, married Rev. Mr. Dunham in 1681, with whom his son, Heze- kiah Bonham, about 1700, had the traditional conversation concerning secular labor on the Lord's day, which resulted in the ultimate establishment of the Seventh Day Society of Piscataway, in 1705-7, when its constituent members withdrew from the mother Church for that purpose.
THE FITZ-RANDOLPHS.
By far the most numerous representatives of any one family in the township were the Fitz-Randolphs, who descended from a distinguished Norman line settling in Eng- land with William the Conqueror, A. D. 1066. They became owners of vast estates in Yorkshire and the adjacent county of Nottingham. From the last named shire came EDWARD FITZ-RANDOLPH, the ancestor of the American family, who settled with his parents in Massachusetts about 1630, at the town of Scituate. In early man- hood he married Elizabeth Blossom, of Puritan stock, and their children, born at Barnstable in the Plymouth colony, that lived to grow up and become heads of families, were Nathaniel, Hannah, Mary, John Joseph, Elizabeth, Thomas, Hope and Benjamin.
NATHANIEL FITZ-RANDOLPH, the oldest, born in 1642, became a Quaker, and one of the most influential of the sect. He migrated to Woodbridge township in 1678-9, locating near the Blazing Star ferry. He was the father of eight children, and a man of remarkable usefulness and importance in the commonwealth, filling all the local and county offices and prominent in the colonial government. His brothers, John, Joseph, Thomas and Benjamin, just mentioned, had moved to Piscataway ten years earlier- in 1668-9-and were all of the Baptist persuasion except Benjamin. The emigration of this family to New Jersey was prompted by the severe enactments of the court of the old colonies, prohibiting the free exercise of individual consciences, compelling every person to sustain by tax the established Church worship, and im- posing banishment upon any who opposed infant baptism.
II5
THE PISCATAWAY BAPTIST CHURCH.
JOHN FITZ-RANDOLPH, the oldest of the Piscataway branch, was born in 1653, and married Sarah Bonham in 1675. He is known as a constituent member of this Church and one of the largest landholders in the township.
JOSEPH FITZ-RANDOLPH, the next oldest, born in 1656, was father of twelve child- ren by his wife, Hannah Conger, a member of one of the Woodbridge families. None of this familiar name attained to greater usefulness in the Church and colony than their immediate descendants. To verify the statement would only require the mention of the heirs of his son, Joseph, who married Rebecca Drake; and his daughter, Hannah, who married Andrew Drake ; and his son, Jonathan, whose wife was Margaret Manning; and his daughter, Prudence, who married Nathaniel Manning.
THOMAS FITZ RANDOLPH, the third son of the old patriarch, was born in 1659, and married Eliza Manning, having only six children. He was Clerk of the town- ship and one of the first group of Selectmen to manage the affairs of the town, and served as deputy in the General Assembly.
BENJAMIN FITZ-RANDOLPH, the youngest, born 1663, married Sarah Dennis, and was taken in as a townsman of Piscataway in 1684 but moved to Princeton in 1696-9 with a colony of Friends whom William Penn induced to settle on a fertile plantation watered by Stony Brook, a tributary of the Millstone River.
These five Fitz Randolph brothers were progenitors of a numerous and promi- nent family-lineage who have produced some of the best citizens of colonial days and given to the State and country illustrious soldiers and statesmen, eminent legislators and jurists, learned professors, distinguished divines, successful merchants and valuable members of society in the more quiet walks of life.
THE MANNINGS.
The Manning surname is early found among the Saxons in the fifth century, from whence the family migrated to the counties of Kent, Sussex and Norfolk, in England. Within the first decade after the " Mayflower" landed her precious freight of human lives, the name is familiar in the Massachusetts colony at Boston and neighboring settlements. The founder of the family in New Jersey was Geoffery Manning, who, with his wife, Hephzibah, (daughter of Joseph Andrews, of Hingham, Mass.), settled in Piscataway about the time of the Fitz-Randolphs-1668-70. He was one of three commissioners to lay out the land grants in the township in 1682 and the following year was made an officer in the first County Court of Middlesex, held that year in Piscataway. His death is recorded in 1693. From his four sons, John, Joseph, James and Benjamin, came the numerous families of this name in East Jersey, especially in this and neighboring townships and the adjoining counties of Somerset and old Essex.
BENJAMIN MANNING married Ann Blackford, 1698.
JOHN MANNING, born 1670, married Elizabeth Dennis, 1693.
JOSEPH MANNING, married Temperance Fitz-Randolph.
JAMES MANNING, married Christiana Laing, and his immediate descendants be- came the most distinguished branch of the family during colonial times. From this last line came President Manning, of Brown University, a learned and eloquent min- ister of the Baptist denomination, and Jeremiah Manning, the fearless soldier of the Revolution, and Captain Nathaniel Manning, of eniinent distinction in the earlier Indian wars.
From the beginning of pioneer settlements in East Jersey the Mannings have always been identified with the organization of the Baptist churches north of the Raritan. Among the first names on the record of this mother church some of the family are found. As the country developed and settlers moved inland the name is among the constituency of the Scotch Plains Church-and at the beginning o " the Samptown Church its first office-bearers were selected from the family. So at the or- ganization of the Baptists in Plainfield and elsewhere, no more efficient and energetic members enlisted in the cause than were furnished by descendants of the original progenitor of this distinguished lire.
HUGUENOTS.
In the list of the early Christians who made Piscataway Township their abiding place and became identified with the mother church should be mentioned a few fami- lies of French ancestry. These embrace the names of the Piatts, Boices, Lupardus',
116
THE PISCATAWAY BAPTIST CHURCH.
Coriells and Brokaws, who early joined the colony of industrious Baptists. Their fore- fathers had endured hardships innumerable on account of religious beliefs in native France, and barbarous severities had been inflicted upon them because of their refusal to accept " the King's religion."
RUNYONS.
Among the multitude of Christian "exiles for conscience sake " from France was also the Huguenot family of the Runyons, transplanted to America about 1665. The founders of this large and influential line of pioneers, settled in East Jersey on the Elizabeth Town Grant as early as 1668-70. His name first appears as ' VINCENT RONGNION, mariner of Poitou." By modern orthography the family is now known as Runyon, with numerous representatives in every State of the Union. The district from which the progenitor of the the Runyons in America came was one that ex- perienced the most cruel desolation of property, and whose consecrated people en- dured more inhuman abuses than any other outraged province in the Empire. These devoted Protestants manifested the most unexampled heroism under sufferings, and yet proved steadfast adherents to their religious convictions,
The most popular and diabolical measure of the Papal authorities for intimidating these " obdurate heretics " and securing enforced conversions among them in this Province of Poitou, was the military occupation by the Dragonades quartered upon their families. This system of outrages impoverished the inhabitants, paralyzed all their industries and finally depopulated whole communities. For rather than bow the knee to Baal ; from this strong hold of Calvinism emigrated thousands of the faithful to Holland and England and other islands of the sea. From thence multitudes sought a refuge in this country for permanent homes. It is a reliable tradition that the founder of the Runyon family in America escaped from these cruel persecutions in his native place, to the Isle of Jersey, off the coast of France, and from there took ship to this country. The first reference to his name on this side of the waters is seen A. D. 1668, in a " marriage license " given by Philip Carteret, the young Governor of East Jersey. The document is on file in the office of Secretary of State of New Jersey, at Trenton, and reads as follows : .
To any of the Justices of the Peace or Ministers of the Province of New Jersey :
Whereas I have received information of a mutual agreement between Vincent Rongnion, of Portiers, in France, and Ann Boutcher, the daughter of John Boutcher, of Hartford, in England, to solemnize marriage together, for which they have re- quested my lycense, and there appearing no lawful impediment for the obstruction thereof, these are to require you or eyther of you, to joyne the said Vincent Rognion and Ann Boutcher in matrimony, and them to pronounce man and wife, and to make record thereof, according to the laws in that behalf provided, for the doing whereof this shall be to you or eyther of you a sufficient warrant.
Given under my hand and seal of the Province, the 28th of June, 1668, and the 20th year of the raigne of our Sovereign Lord Charles the Second, of England, Scot- land and Ireland, king, defender of the faith, &ºc.
(Signed) Ph. Carteret. This couple were joyned in matrimony by me the 17th of July, 1668. (Signed) James Bolton.
Ann Boutcher, the newly wedded wife of Vincent Runyon, may have been a descendant of the same family as Joan Boutcher, of Kent, a lady of distinction and piety, who was a Baptist and was burned at the stake May 2, 1550, within sight of the Canterbury Cathedral.
The next public notice of Vincent Runyon's name is found as owner of a piece of ground at Elizabeth Town, which he bought March 20, 1671-2. He was probably induced to make his first settlement at that place because of the national affiinity of many of the early settlers. The Governor himself was of Norman French ancestry, and the Surveyor General, Robert Vanquellin, came from Caen, in France. The

Secretary of the Province, James Bolton, was also of French extraction and besides there emigrated with Gov. Carteret a number of French men and women. Mr. Run- yon did not remain long among that settlement, for the stern Puritan element pre- dominated and rendered his relations unpleasant. Disposing of his town property as soon as possible the next public notice of him was in the Baptist community at Piscataway, where ever afterward he and h's descendants have lived. Here on the Raritan River, in the spring of 1677, he purchased a farm of 15412 acres and from the homestead established there, went out the many children of this distinguished sire to become the founders of other large and influential lines of the Runyon family.
The sons and daughters of Vincent and Ann Boutcher Runyon were : Vincent, Darich, Joseph, Reune, Ephraim, Mary, Peter, Jane and Sarah, all born several years before the public organization of the Piscataway Baptist Church.
VINCENT, the oldest son, married Mary Hull 1691, and had children to the num- ber of eleven : Sarah, Martha, Rezia, Mary, Anna, Vincent, Reuben, Reune, and three dying in infancy.
PETER, the youngest son, born 1680, married 1704, Providence Blackford, and had five sons and four daughters : John, Joseph, Peter. Richard, Benjamin, Grace, Rosannah, Providence and Sarah.
The other sons and daughters married into the families of Randolph, Sutton. Holton, Webster, Cooper, Layton, Bray, Mollison, Martin and Mannings, and many of their descendants are here to-day at the roll call of their forefathers.
STELLES.
To conclude the worthy list of those who through faith, experienced trials, en- dured persecutions and overcame all opposition for the truth sake, let grateful men- tion be made of such as bear the name of Stelle.
The progenitor of the Stelles in the United States was a Frenchman named Poncet Stelle (known among his descendants in America as Pontius Stelle). He was born about 1650, and was living at the time of his emigration to this country, about 1665, in the south-western part of France. His wife's name was Eugenie Legereau, a christian woman of earnest faith and devoted piety. Both were Protest- ants of the " reformed religion " designated in history since the Reformation of the 16th Century as " Huguenots." a name signifying decided and faithful adherence to Scriptural injunction-hence Bible christians, the recital of whose terrible struggles and sufferings for their religious belief, forms one of the most thrilling chapters in modern history.
From the records of the French Protestant Church in New York, of which he was a member, it is learned that Poncet Stelle came from Lorieres, France. A town of the same name at the present time is near the manufacturing city of Limoge. The locality is southerly from Poitiers, which was one of the strongest citadels of Hugue- not faith, and in a region almost entirely occupied by devout christians of the Pro- testant religion just before the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Disciples of the Reformation rapidly multiplied throughout the whole kingdom of France, but espe- cially in the provinces situated between the rivers Loire and Garonne the doctrines of the new religion found ardent advocates in great numbers.
Poncet Stelle came from one of these provinces where the Reformers' followers were numerous. It was because the population of this portion of France was largely Protestant that the Papal authorities inflicted such direful persecution, and enforced such satanic schemes for their extermination or their acceptance of the doctrines of the Romish Church.
Among the Protestant exiles from France, by way of Holland, to settle in the vicinity of Hudson River was the founder of this family in America. It is a tradi- tional statement that Poncet Stelle was one of the early French settlers on Staten Island, afterward removing to New York About 1660 a colony of Huguenots had located on the south-east side of Staten Island and were ministered to occasionally by the pastor of the French Protestant Church in the present City of New York. About the time that several Huguenot families removed from Staten Island and settled in the Hackensack Valley in 1678, others of their co-religionists moved to New York City, and among them " Sieur Poncet Stelle des Lorieres " as he is best known in public print. He was the sole progenitor of this family name in the United States,
118
THE PISCATAWAY BAPTIST CHURCH.
unless others of his same lineage emigrated to this country under a different name. For example his sister Catherine was known by the name of the town she came from in France, viz : Catherine de Loriere, though she signed herself Catherine Stelle.
In the list of Baptisms performed during the early days of this French Church in New York City are the names of the children of Poncet Stelle, all of whom were born after 1680 and not later than 1695 : Benjamin, born, 1683 ; Gabriel, born 1685 ; Ambrose, born 1687 ; Madelaine, born 1689 ; Isaac, born 1690 ; John, born 1693, and possibly Eugene the last.
It would be interesting to trace the outline of Gabriel Stelle who became a large landholder in Monmouth County and a very wealthy man. He was a prominent member of St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church, of Amboy, in which city he died 1738, leaving a valuable estate to his wife Margaret.
No less interesting would it be to refer to the other Monmouth families of Am- brose, Isaac and John Stelle, all of whom were valuable citizens of that same rich county in the early days preceding the Revolution. But the Baptist denomination is indebted solely to BENJAMIN STELLE the oldest son and the founder of the Piscata - way family, for the many steadfast christian examples of generations past and present bearing the Stelle name.
BENJAMIN STELLE was born in New York, A. D., 1683, and settled among the Piscataway people in early life, just after colonial affairs were transferred to the Crown. Ry his marriage in 1708 to a member of one of the pioneer families of the Baptist Church (Mercy Drake it is supposed) the following six named children were born :
SUSANNAH, who became the wife of Joseph HULL.
BETSEY, who died young.
BENJAMIN, who married Hannah Dunn, 1739, the year his father assumed the pastorate of this church-and had four sons and four daughters. Asher, who married Mary Drake. Isaac, whose wife was Margaret Manning. Benjamin, who did not marry, Samuel, who married Elizabeth Bishop, and the daughters were Mary, who became Andrew Manning's wife ; Mercy, who married Ephraim Piatt : Eliza- beth, who married Joseph Stelle, and Rachel whose husbands were Ephraim F. Ran- dolph and afterwards Samuel F. Randolph.
JOHN, the second son of Rev. Benjamin Stelle, married Rachel Thompson and was a mariner. Their children were Charity, Experience, Thompson, Lewis and Phœbe.
ISAAC was the youngest son of Rev. Benjamin Stelle, who succeeded his father in the pastorate of the church, 1759. He married Christiana Clarkson and had seven sons and two daughters, Benjamin, Ambrose, John, Abel, Joseph, Oliver, Samuel, Mary and Mercy.
RACHEL, the 'youngest child of Rev. Benjamin Stelle, married in 1734 Ephraim F. Randolph and had two sons and four daughters.
These children of Rev. Benjamin Stelle, with the offspring God gave them, have always been among the chief supporters of the Baptist Church in Piscataway and in many other communities where their lot has been cast.
To enumerate the many excellent virtues and christian graces which have char- acterized this family for two hundred years and more, would require another day's celebration. Such an event as the gathering of all the living who are the children and heirs of the distinguished Poncet Stelle would afford a suitable opportunity to consider the deeds of many generations, and record the wonderful experiences which link the present with the past.
CONCLUSION.
The roll-call given includes the names of most of the men, who with their wives, laid the foundations of society in this locality and established its social, moral and religious character. Piscataway was from the first a plantation of christians-a colony of conscience The original settlers came here to escape religious persecution elsewhere and establish a permanent home here where they might enjoy the liberty of the gospel and the free exercise of their own spiritual convictions. . May their de- scendants never lower the standard of religous living as set up in those pioneer days, nor manifest an indifference for such conscientious motives as actuated the early forefathers of this community.
