AUTOGRAPHS.
Autographs are interesting and suggestive studies, and furnish corrob- orative aids to the careful and accurate genealogist. Over 200 photo- graphic facsimiles are given on the following pages.
The first, second, and third plates are reproductions from the three pages of the subscription paper used in gathering the funds to build the present Old Tennent edifice. The 3 photographs, from which these 3 plates were made, were taken by I. R. Cheeseman. For further facts, in studying these 3 plates, see pages 46 and 178.
The fourth plate here given presents the autographs of some early Scotch settlers m11 Monmouth Co. These were collected by James Steen, Eaton- town, N. J., who had them photographed from original documents, chiefly wills, on file in the office of the Secretary of State, Trenton, N. J., and this list shows autographs made between the years 1700 and 1720. The patch- work arrangement was put together by F. R. Symmes.
The student should use a reading glass in studying these plates of auto- graphs.

APPENDIX.
DECLARATION OF TRUST.
[ In the chapter on " The Old Parsonage " reference is made to the efforts of the congrega- tion to secure the parsonage farm in legal and coutinnal possession. The old record book of the congregation (still preserved) gives an extended and complete account of this matter writ- ten in John Henderson's hand. The record. as copied out and here presented, begins at the point immediately following the statement of the purchase of the farm for 6500(see on page 53). It will be noticed here that many of the words and parts of words are missing; they could not be read because of the stained, worn and broken condition of the pages in the old record book. This copy was carefully made and compared by F. R Symmes.]
"And John Henderson Drew the Articles of Sale and was Desired to Draw the Deed in Convenient Time which he Did & put Mr. Formans & Mr. Craigs Name - the Deed & left a Blank to put in two other persons Names -- of Mr. Cummings & Mr. Rhe's because Sd. Cumming & Rhe were & he tho't it improper for them
to make Instruments of -- & be parties in Both
But when they Met to Sign
Henderson's Reasons could prevail nothing But the Deed was --- the above Named four & the full Consideration of five - pounds put in. Against which the Sd. Henderson protested All the people of the Congregation Gave their Bills to the - purchars' for the Sums by them promised for purchassing Sd. Pla- Except Sd. Henderson for the Reasons protested & Sd. purcha - Gave Bond to Sd. Cowenhoven for Sd. £500."
(Just here is inserted the record of the ordination of David Rhe & John Hender- son to the eldership, see page 53).
"Second Tuesday in March 1735-6 The above Purchars and Some --- at the House of John Fenton to Consider & See whether the - Dne would make the next payment & when they took -- found none from Sd. Henderson then De-
manding his & gave him liberty ( without interruption which he nev- - to give them ; Shewed how the Method they had taken - the whole De- sign of the Purchase & that If he Plantation Secured according to the Inten- tion of the Congregation who paid their Money and the Use they Designed it for viz. for a Continual Parsonage for a Presbyterian Minister he was as Ready as any to pay his Share, but if that was not done as he could not See they were likely to do it by the methods they followed he Still adhered to his former protest. After further Opening the Matter the Majority were Convinced by his Reasons & ime- diately Complyed & he being quickly going to New York Gave him Money to give to Mr. Smith the Lawyer there for his Direction & Assistance how to Secure the Sd. Plantation for the Use Designed which accordingly he did and laid the whole mat- ter before Sd. Mr. Smith & Gave him the Money who undertook the Same who ac- cordingly Sent a Letter to Mr. Tennent with Instrument of Sale & Trust therein Inclosed which Letter & Instruments' are as followeth viz. Rev. Sir-
New York 31th March 1736.
I Send herewith the Deed to the Trustees & their Declaration of the trust which I have Contrived in the best manner -ould to guard it against the advantages that have heretofore - n taken. I don't See how in this way the end proposed can be -ed unless the Elders & Deacons in whose Hands the Secret -. . is Lodged Should be so unfaithful as to betray that Confidence -- ch hereby is reposed in them, but this I hope there will never be any -son to fear. The Reading of the Declaration of the trust -ill Shew the design of it & it may be from theme Collected that the -state in Law will descend to the Surviving Trustees & his -eirs & that the power & Authority to Appoint the Uses of - trust will ultimately centre in the Ser- viving Elder or - Deacon & his Heirs wherefore it will be proper when the -t is in Such hands or by the Death of the Trustees like- to fall into Such hands as will not be convenient that the -ing Elders & Deacons Do appoint a Conveyance to New & then that the New Trustees make a New Declaration -ers & Dea- cons for the time being, and thus the Estate - be perpetuated in private Hands Consistant with the -1, with only the inconvenieney of a new Deed or two -e in an Age which any ordinary Scribe may Draw from -- - - ith Sent &
in this Method the necessity of an inco- Incorporation may be avoided which is Notwithstanding -- method of Conveying Such Estates to Such uses if at any time hereafter obtained.
