There were at least two different Anderson families, but the one mnost prominent in Monmouth Co. was of Captain John Anderson, who was captain of the ship "Unicorn." and engaged in the Scottish expedition to Darien (see Steen's "New Aberdeen &c." pp. 14 and seg.) : according to a family tradition he was captain of the "Caledonia," see p. 13. He was a brother to Rev. James Anderson, first pastor of Wall St. Presbyterian church New York City, ("old First"). He was b. in Scotland 1665 d. Mch. 28, 1736 mid Anna dau.

John Lloyd who und. Catherine Craig (see p. 418) it is supposed was descended from John Lloyd who with Charles & Thomas Lloyd came from Wales to America in 1675 and who by different branches were de- scended from Willian the Conqueror and Alfred the Great. John Lloyd of Freehold had on the front of his house a shield or coat of arms : he bought mill property in Shrewsbury Mar. 10, 1790 for £1400, and bought Sep. 9, 1794 a large tract of Gen. David Forman for £3300 bounded on the south by Crosswicks creek and on the east Lahaway creek, being a valua- ble mill property.

BARCLAY.
The Barclays & the Gordons were of kin. Lady Katharine Gordon md. 1647 Colonel David Barclay b. 1610 d. 1686. Col. David had besides Robert Barclay (the apologist) and David Barclay, a son John Barclay b. 1659 at Ury, Scotland, who came to East New Jersey in 1684 & settled at Perth Amboy where he d. 1731. His w. who was buried Jan. 6, 1703 at Amboy was also named "Catharine" whom he had probably married about 1699. Whether he had other chldr. or not his s. John appears as his heir. At his father's death he was not quite 30 years of age.

GENEALOGICAL NOTES.
HERBERT.
Francis Herbert, the first of the family in Monmouth is claimed to have been a grandson or great grandson of Philip the 4th Earle of Pembroke, England. His mother, Bridget Herbert, and himself and possibly one or more brothers were in Monmouth before 1671, & Bridget rented a house from Edward Smith of Middletown in that year. It is possible that his father's name was Walter Herbert, and that Walter Herbert, who was licensed to marry Mary Barnes in New York Aug. 14, 1678 was his older brother.

Joseph Mc Knight, s. Wm. & Sarah, was a Private in the Revolution; he is buried in Old Tennent cemetery.
TRUAX.
Truax, Truex, de Truex, du Trieux. This family, which would from the use of the prefix "de" or "du" in the early records seem to have been of French (and probably Huguenot) extraction, was founded in this country by Philip du Trieux, who settled in New Amsterdam about 1621. His second son Jacob, who was bap. in the Dutch Church in New York Dec. 7, 1645, was the first of the name to settle in Monmouth Co. April 14, 1682

he "took up" 130 acres of land in what was then Freehold township, be- tween Swimming River & Holmdel. His oldest son was named Philip, and some of his descendants inter-married with the Craigs, Johnstons, and Van Kirks. John Truax (see p. 220) was the father of Roelef bap. Aug. 25, 1735 & had a M.

CRAIG.
[To the following Craig genealogy by James Steen, notes have been added by the late R. Perrine Craig, by Mr. & Mrs. John W. Craig, Tennent, N. J., and by others. ]
Not the least among the first families of Monmouth were the Craigs. Intermarriages at an early date into the Anderson, Crawford, Forman, Kerr, and other Scotch and Scotch-Irish settlers, has transmitted the line of the family so extensively that the descendants to-day of John Craig, the Ist, are to be numbered by the thousands.
Among the settlers, imported by Lord Neill Campbell, as of December 1685, and some of them by the ship "Henry & Francis," were John Craig, Archibald his s., and a James Craig. The fact that Lord Neill Campbell also had a s. Archibald, may imply a relationship between the Campbells and the Craigs. And indeed it had been quite natural for some of his kinsmen to have been among Lord Campbell's "settlers." An Andrew Craig is also of record as being "imported in Oct. 1684 by John Forbes," but the degree of kinship is as yet unknown to the writer.
463
GENEALOGICAL NOTES.
John Craig (Ist) was granted on June 1I, 1690, 150 acres in Middlesex Co. by George Keith. He took quite a prominent place in the province, and on Nov. 2. 1692 he was returned with Jolin Barclay as a member of the Assembly from Perth Amboy. On Dec. 9, 1695 lie purchased of Wil- liam Dockwra of London. or of John Reid, Dockwra's attorney, a lot of land at "Topinemes" on the Northeast of Spotswood Brook. He was then a resident of Middlesex Co. This on April 10, 1702 he (still of Amboy) sold to his s. Archibald. A few weeks before James Craig had purchased a neighboring tract of land, as was natural if James were indeed, as has been supposed, a bro. of Archibald's. John's name is first in 1705 of the committee applying to the Court for the registration of Scots meeting house (see p. 28) and he was probably then living in Monmouth. His sons Archibald and James are associated in the purchase of the dock or wharf site on Matawan Creek in 1700, and his s. Archibald is a grantee in the deed June 1, 1727 for Old Scots lot (p. 32).
John Craig & his w. Ursula had chldr:

We will not liere follow the descendants of Andrew Craig (of 1684) nor of James Craig (s. John ;. (An Andrew Crawford also appears in the Old Tennent records as having a dau. "Ursilla" bap. see p. 208). One or two of the "Craig" baptisms in Old Ten. records seem not to be in the line of Archibald, but are probably in the line of Jamies Craig (s. John) as Andrew (of 1684) settled in Middlesex, and is believed to have been the ancestor of the Craigs of Somerset Co.

He appears to have been the one who was an owner of slaves (compare p. 224, 227) An inter- esting letter concerning the sale of a slave is still preserved by the descend- ants of James Herbert of Freehold, a copy of which is heregiven : "Maid- enhead Augt. 25, 1778. Mr. James Herbert, Sir: Your Negro boy Jacob Applyed to me yesterday to purchase him. I am in want of a Good Ser- vant and if you can Concientiously recommend him to me as Honest, Sober & Industreous, I will buy him of you. I have asked the Servant your price, he tells me you will take for him what you gave about two mouths past which is somewhere about £280 .. o .. o its a Large price but as the Servant seems willing to stay with me if you can give him the above recommendation I will nevertheless take him. You may therefore in that Case send the boy to me immediately, and Send or come for the Money and I will likewise allow you the expense of Comeing for it. I am Sir Your Hum. Servant Archibald Mercer. N. B. I live at Maiden- head on the place Wilson Hunt formerly lived on." Maidenhead is now Lawrenceville. Slaves were owned by many of the Old Tennent people, and were baptized and received into the communion of the church (see Bap. Lists). James & Elizabeth Herbert had 7 chldr.
