He began active em- ployment at an early age, and in youth rendered his father valuable assistance in the condpet of the farni, in 1838 becoming owner by the will of the latter of that portion of the land (the original tract having been extensive) on which he now resides, his home being on the exact spot occupied by his ancestors.

CHAPTER L.
TOWNSHIP OF WOOLWICH.
Geographical Description .- The boundaries of the township of Woolwich are the township of Green- wich on the northeast, that of Harrison on the south- east, Oldman's Creek and Salem County on the southwest, and Logan township on the northwest.
Running through the centre of the township, in a northwesterly direction, is Raccoon Creek, which is navigable from the Delaware River to Swedesboro, and is affected by the tide about a mile above that northwesterly between this township and Greenwieb, and Oldman's Creek, which is navigable as far as Au- burn. in Salem County, iuns along the southwestern boundary of the township. Timber Creek also has its source in the eastern part. Small affluents discharge their waters into these streams as they pass through and along this township.
Topography .- The highest ground in the town- ship is Lippincott's Hill, on the farm of William and Thomas Zane, where a Coast Survey station was es- tablished. This is in latitude 39º 45', and longitude 74°1'. From this point the high land between Rac- coon and Oldman's Creeks descends gradually to- wards the Delaware River, and slopes each way to- wards those erecks. Water-sheds also pass through the township in a northwesterly and southeasterly direction, between Raccoon and Timber Creeks, and between the last and Purgey Creek. The surface of the township is not, however, what may be called un- even, but gently sloping from these heights to the streams that pass between them.
Roads .- The principal highway through the town- ship is the Salem and Gloucester turnpike, which is elsewhere spoken of. Another important highway is the Bridgeport and Mullica Hill road, having its ter- mini as indicated by its name. What is known as the Old Ferry road is said to have been constructed by the British for military purposes. It extends from Battentown, near Swedesboro, northwesterly to the Delaware River. Beside these, many other road., that are not important as thoroughfares, traverse and ramity in the township in various directions.
The principal avenue of travel and transportation to and from this township is the Swedesboro Railroad, which was inaugurated in 1869. Among the citizen- of Woolwich who were active in establishing this road were the late J. S. Thompson and Samuel Black. Others did much to aid the enterprise, but these gen- tlemen were particularly active. An extension of this road to Salem was put in operation early in 1883.
The following notes concerning the construction of the bridge over Raccoon Creek, at Swedesboro, were found among the papers of the late J. S. Thomp- son :
Elijah Bowen, C. C. Streeter, James Jessup, and Charles F. Black were appointed, Aug. 30, 1828, to repair or rebuild the bridge in such a manner as they might deem proper.
Dec. 27, 1828, they reported that it was necessary to rebuild; and on the 29th of September, 1829, they reported that they had commenced the construction of the bridge on the truss principle.
Dec. 26, 1829, they reported that the bridge was completed, and that the cost was two thousand and sixty-one dollars and twenty cents.
Amos Campbell was the contractor, and Miles Gar- rison and Sammuel Shivler worked for him.
Soil and Agriculture .- The soil of Woolwich, like and is only productive by the free use of manures and fertilizers. What is known as raising " truck" is the principal business of the farmers here, and the facili- ties for transportation to Philadelphia and New York are such as to make this business profitable, as is evi- dent from the well-improved farms that are every. where to be seen.
Industries. - Beyond supplying the immediate wants of the people here. manufactories have never existed in the township to any considerable extent. With the decadence of domestic manufactures the wants that were formerly thus provided for have come to be supplied from elsewhere.
Old Families .- So long a time has elapsed since the settlement of this township that it is not possible now to learn where the original settlers located, and the names of many are now forgotten. The following are some of the names of ohl families that are still represented here by descendants :
The Van der Weers, the Homans ( from whom have descended the Ashcrafts), the Batten-, Blacks, Pier- sons, Warringtons, Davidsons, Haines, Clarke, Ru- lons, Turners, Bradshaws, Van Neamans, Kirbys. , Bowers, Gills, Mitchells. Gaskills, Madaras, Browns. Heritages, Ogdens, Ilendricksons, Davises, Talmans, Gruffs, Justissens (now Justice), Fawcetts, Garrisons, Estlicks, Locks, Dennys, and many others whose name> cannot be learned.
Old Documents .-- The originals of these are in the poreccion of T. D. Clark. They were found, with many others, when the old Swedesboro Hotel was taken down.

Logan was set off in 1877. The township has now three road districts and five school districts. In these last the houses are generally in a good condition, and schools are well sustained. The population of the township was in 1850, 3205: 1860, 3478; 1570, 3760 ; 1Ss0, 1974.
