His brother, Nathaniel, together with his two sons, Amos and James, were uncompromising in their loy- alty to the King. He went to New York, and died there of small pox. His house and the land adjoining it, now known as "the Bramhall property," in Tory Corner, were confiscated and sold for the benefit of the State. His wife, who was a sister of Dr. Matthias Pierson, was so much esteemed at the Mountain that no one would bid against her at the sale, and thus de- prive her and her family of their home. She bought it

in for £5. Amos, one of the sons of Nathaniel, exiled himself to Nova Scotia, and died there. James, the other son, was about twenty years old when he went to New York, and entered the British service. He was there in the severe winter of 1779-80, when the Bay of New York was frozen so hard that sleighs, heavily laden with provisions, crossed from New York to Staten Island. He also emigrated to Nova Scotia, and after remaining there for thirty years, returned to the old neighborhood, where he married and died, without issue, in 1825.
These royalists all lived in "Tory Corner." At times, it has been called "Williamsville ;" but the old War- name can never be displaced. It is a pleasing reflec- tion that, if a few of the earlier inhabitants were dis-

JOHN PECK.
This son of Deacon Joseph Peck, and grandson of Joseph, one of the first Newark settlers, was born in 1732, and died in 1811. Though a man of no letters, he possessed large influence and was fearless and positive in his opinions. He became a Judge of the the Court of Common Pleas. His respect, however, for John Peck the opinions of lawyers was very small. On one occasion, while a case was being argued before him, he interrupted the attorney's speech by calling out: "Be brief, Mr. Ogden, I have given judgment." One of his decisions was : "A man who has a deed for his land, owns from the centre of the earth to the top of the heavens." He was an Elder of the Orange church in 1784.
To the British, during the War, he was very obnox- ious on account of his active patriotism, and he was in frequent danger of capture, being sometimes com- pelled to make a hasty flight on his horse for refuge over the Mountain. His house, built of stone, was on the southeast corner of Main Street and Maple Ave- nue, in East Orange. The latter highway now runs through his acres. The locality was called "Peck's Hill" for a century or more, and is still so called by the old people. The old homestead was taken down in 1813, and much of the stone composing it was worked into the walls of the First Presbyterian Church, which was then in process of construction. His son, Joseph, who inherited the property, built a framed dwelling- house, to which he removed, and in which his family continued to reside for many years.

STEPHEN D. DAY.
Stephen D. Day, a descendant of George Day, one of the Newark settlers, came to Orange in or about 1798. On March 30th, of that year, he purchased land on the southwesterly corner of Main and Cone streets ; the latter of which was described in the deed as "the new road lately laid out." The lot reached from the Academy, eastwardly, to the street corner. He soon afterwards bought the land on the easterly side of Cone Street, extending from the line of the same eastwardly, to the well on the line of the "Central Hotel" prop- erty, then owned by Bethuel Pierson. Mr. Day built a two-story house on the corner of the lot first pur- chased by him. Here he opened a store, and con- ducted a general business, such as was usual in country towns of that period. At an early date he formed a
co-partnership with John Morris Lindsley, whose sister he married in 1819. The partnership continued till 1806, when, in September of that year, it was dissolved. While this business connection existed, Mr. Day built a new store for the firm on the easterly corner of Cone Street, the site of which is now occupied by the Orange Savings Bank. It was a frame building, and in order to give place to one of brick, was, some years since, moved to the southerly end of Cone Street, where it now stands, and is used as a dwelling. In 1811, Mr. Day bought out his partner, Lindsley, and continued the business in the old premises. In 1813, he sold all his property on the south side of Main Street to Mr.

Lindsley, taking in part payment the lot on which Music Hall now stands, and whereupon Mr. Day soon after built the house and store which he occupied till his death.
Day Street was not opened when this last purchase was made. That the improvement was then contem- plated, would appear from the terms of the deed made by him to the Church Trustees about that time for the lot on which the present meeting-house was erected. The southeastern corner of this lot is described as being seventy-five links from the southwestern corner of John M. Lindsley's lot. These fifty feet were, in 1813, thrown out as a road through Mr. Day's land, which road ran north wardly to the present Washington Street. In 1814, Mr. Day built his house on the Linds-
ley lot, opposite to the new church. It was a large, double, two-story building; the most conspicuous as well as the best-appointed dwelling in the district west of Newark. The southwesterly corner of the ground floor was used as a country store. The building was burned to the ground on Tuesday night, March 3, 1866.
Day Street was laid out and opened in 1813. Mr. Day then owned the lands on both sides of the street, from the main highway to a point about two hundred feet north of Park Avenue ; and the Williamses held beyond him. The road is distinguished as being the first highway running northwardly, which was opened between Park Street, or the Cranetown Road, and the
315

Valley Road. There had previously been a rude cart- path, beginning on the main road at a point near the present Cleveland Street, and running northeastwardly to the present line of Day Street, at or near the north- ern boundary of Mr. Day's land. This cart-path was at times wet and impassible by teams, and an improved highway was needed.
Judge Day was born July 1, 1772. His descent from the primitive settler of Newark Township was as follows :
I. George Day, settler, 1669. Rated, {120.
2. Joseph, born 1695.
3. Jonathan, born 1720.
4. David, born 1745.
5. Stephen D., born 1772.
His birth-place was Camptown, now Irvington, and his mother was Elizabeth Lyon, of Lyons Farms. He had three brothers and five sisters. David, one of his brothers, died and was buried in Orange. A sister, named Comfort, married Stephen C. Ayres. Three of her sons became successful and highly esteemed phy- sicians in the Western States.
Stephen D. Day married (1) Sarah, daughter of Judge John Lindsley, whose former home, on South Orange Avenue, is now owned and occupied by the Roman Catholics as an Orphan Asylum. Six children were born of this union, of whom three died in in- fancy ; the remaining three were Robert Patten, born December 16, 1799 ; Eliza, born October 8, 1805, mar- ried Rev. George Pierson ; and Charles Rodney, born November 6, 1808, died August 19, 1870. The last- named was graduated from the College of New Jersey at Princeton, 1830. Mr. Day married (2) Mary, a sister of his first wife. By her he had no issue.

History of the Oranges.
In early life he manifested great aptness for busi- ness and a strong desire for active employment. No undertaking seemed too arduous for him to engage in, and, while yet young, he appeared to be a man of ripe experience and judgment. With a conscience awake to his obligations to his fellow men and to his Maker, no selfish considerations deterred him from yielding to its dictates. Before the days of total abstinence, the sale of ardent spirits had formed a profitable part of his large and flourishing trade. As was then com- mon, his sideboard was always made inviting by his well-filled decanters, which were hospitably open to every guest. The arguments against the use of strong drink had made no impression upon him. It hap- pened, however, upon a certain occasion, that a sea captain, who was his guest, sickened and died at his house. From his house also the deceased was con- veyed to the grave ; and, as was then customary, the well-furnished decanters on the sideboard were re- sorted to during the preliminary services, and to such a degree that the bearers were unable to perform their duty with proper decorum. When Mr. Day returned from the grave, he promptly ordered the decanters to be emptied and removed from their accustomed place. From that time onward he was a pronounced and con- sistent advocate of temperance reform. The apple orch- ards which adorned his well-tilled acres were cut down by his command, notwithstanding the loss to him of their rich revenues. His old friends sometimes up- braided him upon the use of tobacco, to which he was largely addicted ; and they freely charged him with inconsistency. He decided the question in his own way and in his own time. One day when riding alone he was led to reflect upon the tobacco habit-its waste of money and time. Taking his pipe from his mouth

he broke it in pieces, resolving never to use it again. A small portion of the stem he put in his pocket, and kept it there for many a long year, as a continual re- minder of his laudable resolution.
He owned much real estate in different parts of the township ; but such was his desire to facilitate im- provements and to hasten the growth of the neighbor- hood, that he sold building lots whenever they were called for, at such low prices as to excite ridicule of the land-grabbers and speculators of the period. He introduced the first piano into Orange, for the use of his daughter. It is to be supposed that he derived more pleasure and profit from this paternal act, than from another venture which he related to this writer. About 1828, he made a journey to Easton, Pa., in a one- horse wagon. Having reached there and disposed of his load, it occurred to him that he would carry home with him a small quantity of anthracite coal ; numerous heaps of which had attracted his attention in different parts of the town. He had never seen it before. Some persons whom he met, and of whom he inquired as to its use and value, told him that the stones might be worth something for fuel, but that they had never tested them. It was the day of small things with anthracite, even in Easton. Our wide- awake townsman determined that he would make a trial of it, and decide for himself. He therefore bought half a ton, and, with it in his wagon, journeyed home- ward. Upon his arrival, he experimented with his recent purchase in both sitting-room and kitchen, but the refractory coals could not be induced to burn. Kindling wood and bellows availed nothing. There was not even a pretence of combustion. Then he car- ried a generous supply of the carbons to a blacksmith shop near at hand, where he and the knight of the forge

applied their united energies to the work. They suc- ceeded, as he told the writer, in making some of the stones "red hot," but that was all-the stones did not and would not "take fire." Completely dis- gusted, he abandoned the effort. He was perfectly satisfied with wood for domestic fuel; the old ways were the best. The coals lay for several years in his back yard, where they were exposed to the eye of every passer-by, and were always known as "the black stones which 'Squire Day had carted all the way from Easton." 1
In the War of 1812, Mr. Day raised a company of volunteer infantry, to be commanded by himself in the service of the United States during the months of August and September. The company was composed of young men, chiefly farmers from over the Moun- tain. He generously offered to accept the same pay as the privates, and divided the balance of his cap- tain's pay among them, pro rata. After the work on their farms during the day was completed, they came down the Mountain by the "Christian's Path," and spent the evening in drill. A pay-roll, still preserved, gives the names of the officers and men, with official notes, also, of the service of the company :

WM. COLFAX, B. Gen1."
Of tried integrity, and highly esteemed by his fellow- townsmen, he held numerous positions of responsi- bility. He was the first president of the Orange Bank in 1828, and retained the office for twenty-four years. He was also a State Senator for two terms ; a director, and at one time the temporary president, of the Mor- ris and Essex Railroad Company ; also for many years one of the Judges of the County Court of Common Pleas. In all the many important enterprises of his time he was a wise, prudent and efficient leader. He was always in the advance; never in the rear. He was a believer in the great principles of the Christian faith, of which he made a public profession in 1828, thirty-one years before his decease.
Judge Day was short of stature ; in his later years, stout in person ; always of quiet mien and cheerful manners. He had strong convictions, but did not intrusively urge them upon others. Sagacious and successful in his worldly plans, he had an eagle eye to the promotion of the public good; and in his death, on February 14, 1856, left behind him the savor of a good, useful and honorable life. His mortal remains were laid in the old parish graveyard. Together with those of his brother, David, and other members of his family, they were removed, some years afterwards, to the Rosedale Cemetery.
