party throughout his life. He was a man of decided in 1733, leaving to his children a large landed prop- convictions, earnest, energetic, and industrions, in- erty. clined to economy and frugality, and of modest pre- tensions and tastes. In all his business transactions he ever manifested the strictest integrity, and was held in general respect for his uprightness of charac- ter. Hle married Mary II., daughter of Mark Stretch, and had a family of four children, of whom only William Morris attained adult age. The latter has inherited his father's estate and business as well as many of his sterling characteristics. He married Lydia, daughter of Joseph Waddington, and has one daughter, Mary H. Morris.
JOIN TYLER.
The Tyler family of this country are descended from ancient English stock, their ancestors having come with William the Conqueror into England. and fought at the battle of Hastings in 1966. Six hundred years later three brothers of the name emigrated to America, one of whom settled in New England, another in Vir- ginia, becoming the ancestor of ex-President John Tyler, and the third, William, located in West Jersey about 1G88. He purchased of lohu Champney a large tract of land on the north side of Mommouth River, part of the two thousand acres deeded in 1676 by John Fenwick to James Champney and his wife, Priscilla Fenwick Champney. He was the ancestor of the branch of the family represented by the sub- ject of this sketch, the line down to and including John Tyler being as follows : William Tyler1, Wil- liam?, Samuel^, William', and John 3.
William Tyler' brought with him to this country a certificate from his friends and neighbors in England, certifying that "he hath been realy and willing to contribute to the service of truth, as opportunity hath offered and occasion required, and that as to his deal- ings with the world, he has been punctual and of good report as far as any of us know or have heard, and we know nothing of debts or other entanglements on his part, but that he may with clearness prosecute his intended voyage." He married, in 1626, Joanna Parson, and had four children born in England, namely, Mary (1677), William (1680), John (16:2), and Joanna (1681). His first wife died soon after their arrival in this country, and he married a second wife, Elizabeth, who bore him three children, -Cath- arine (1600), Philip (1622), and Elizabeth (1694). Hle engaged in farming and tanning throughout his life, and dieil about 1701. By his will he bequeathed a larged lamled estate to his sons, William and John, and left the former as guardian of the younger chil- dren.
William Tyler? married Mary Abbott, sister of George, the cmigrant, and had six children, viz. : William $ (1712), Edith ( 1714), Rebecca / 1716), Mary (1718), James (1720), and Samuel (1723). He died
Samuel Tyler, youngest son of William Tyler' and Mary, his wife, was born Oct. 26, 1723. When about eigliteen years of age he apprenticed himself to Ben- jamin Acton, of salem, to learn the tanning business. Soon after the expiration of his apprenticeship he sold his property on Alloways Creek, inherited from his father, and purchased the property at the upper end of Salem, since known as Tyler Street. In the deed of purchase, dated 1746, the house is called "a new brick house," making it at the present time more than one hundred and thirty-seven years old. Here he carried on the tanning business. In 1751 he mar- ried Ann Ma-on, granddaughter of John Mason, the emigrant, and had five children, viz .: William ' (1752), John (1755), Mary (1756), Samuel (1758), and Rebecca (1764). He died Nov. 26, 1778, and his wife Feb. 23, 1777.
William Tyler' administered upon his father's es- tate, and. according to the law as it then existed, was entitled to all the real estate. He was not unmind- ful, however, of his brothers and sisters, but assigned them a share of their father's property. In 1792 he married Beulah Ridgway, who died shortly after without i-sue. . In 1796 he married for a second wife Catherine, Jaughter of Hugh Low, of Philadelphia, of whom were born John ( 1797), Hannah G. (179S), Hugh 1. (1800), Mais (1501), Annie (1505), and William (1806). He was a man of retiring dispo- sition, of few words, and was considered honest and impartial in his dealings with his fellow-men. Hle died in 1823, and his wife in 1825. The latter was a di-erect and sensible woman, of warm sensibilities and devoted piety.
John Tyler, son of William and Catharine Low (Tyler, the subject of this memoir, was born May 28, 1797. He received only an ordinary English eluca- tion, and about the time of attaining his majority entered the employ of his uncle, John Tyler, in Salem, to learn the tanning business. He continued with his uncle until the death of the latter, and shared in the distribution of his estate. During the greater part of his life he carried on successfully the tanning enterprise established by his uncle, and for a period of nearly sixty years occupied the family mansion on Fifth Street, adjoining the tannery. He was a man of decided convictions, plain in his habits and tastes, a regular attendant upon the First Day meetings of the Society of Friends, and hell in general respect and esteem for his integrity and uprightness of char- acter. Never demonstrative or ostentatious, he took an active interest in public affairs, supporting the men and measures he believed best for the general good, yet declining to occupy public office himself. lle was one of the active promoters of the Salem Li- brary Association, and president of that organization for a number of years. Ile was also one of the organ- izers of the Salem Gas Company, and treasurer of the

company from the time of its establishment until his death. He took much interest in the project of intro- ducing water into Salem, advocating the artesian sys- tem of boring. He was also fond of tree-culture, ornamenting and beautifying his surroundings by setting out young trees and otherwise improving his property to gratify his natural taste. In his younger days he was fond of walking, and upon one occasion made a pedestrian excursion into Canada from Salem. He was a close observer of things and events around him, devoted to travel, a great reader, and possessed of an excellent memory.
He had a thorough knowledge of the origin and Jine of title of the real estate of his locality, and knew the metes and bounds of many of the county estates. His recollection of local historical facts was also extended and correet, and he was especially familiar with the early history of West and South Jersey. He passed away, amid general regret, on July 31, ISSO. Ile married, in 1832, Dorothea Gira- ham, daughter of Joseph Hoskins, originally from New Jersey, but a subsequent resident of Radnor. J'a., where she was born. The two children born of the union were Catharine Low Tyler, who died un- married, and W. Graham Tyler. The latter served as president of the Board of Education for a number of years, is treasurer of the Salem Gas Company, a director of the Salem Library Association, and a member and officer of St. John's Protestant Episco- pal Church of Salem. He carries on the tanning establishment that has been operated by the family so many years on Fifth Street.
CHAPTER LXVI.
TOWNSHIP OF ELSINBORO.I
Geographical .-- Elsinboro is located in the sonth- west part of the county, and is bounded north hy Lower Penn's Neck and the city of Salem, east and south by Alloways Creek, and west by the Delaware River. Reedy Island lies opposite its southern ex. tremity.
Topographical and Statistical. - This is the smallest of the townships of Salem County, contain- ing only seven thousand eight hundred and eight acres, much of it marsh and " marsh-meadow" land, and fifty-six farms. The soil is similar to that of neighboring townships, and the variety of produce common to the latter is grown. In 1881 the asse-sed valuation of real estate was $123,714. The value of personal property was $186,840. The total taxable valnation was $495,568. The total indebtedness was $123,905. The number of voters was one hundred and fifty-one. The poll-tax amounted to 8144, the school tax to $1253, and the county tax to $1189.

Original Purchases and Settlement.ª -- Robert Windham bought of John Fenwick one thousand acres of land, bounded on the north by Salem, and ca the west by Salem Creek. This purchase was made in 1675. On that property a colony of English from New Haven, Conn., made a settlement in 1640, but it was of short duration. The Indians greatly har- assed the colonists, and the following year the pleu- risy became an epidemic among them. Some histo- rians have written that more than one-half of the colony fell victim- to the malady, and the remaining part left and returned to New England.
It appears that when Robert Windham died he left one daughter. She married Richard Darkin, a young man who had recently arrived from England. Rich- ard was one of the most active and useful young men in the colony. He was a zealous Friend, and took a conspicuous part in the religious meetings of his seet.
Richard Darkin in his will left his land to his two sous, John and Joseph Darkin. John, the eldest. had the homestead. In 1720, John erected a new brick dwelling, which is still standing. Joseph Dar- kin, the youngest son, built a brick dwelling on his share of his father's property, which is yet in toler- able repair.
The Windham estate was all kept in the family during four or five generations, and at this time there are about four hundred aeres held by Robert Wind- ham's descendants.
Adjoining the Windham estate is a tract of land called Middle Neck, containing about five hundred aeres. It was purchased by Isaac Smart, who came to this country in company with Fenwick. Soon af- terward he built a house and settled there.
-----
Richard Guy, cheesemonger, from the parish of Stepney, Middlesex, England, one of the earliest em- igrants, purchased one thousand acres of land of John Fenwick, bounded on the northeast by Isaac Smart's land, and southwest by Delaware Bay, extending down the bay to Fort Elsborg.
In 1632, Richard Guy sold one-half of the said tract to John and Andrew Thompson, two hundred and fifty acres to each, and they settled thereon. John, the eldest, erected a brewery and manufactured beer extensively and, it is said, profitably for the Phila- delphia and New York markets. John, grandson of James Thompson, sold the land that he inherited, and removed to Delaware. The property Andres Thompson purchased is owned by one of his descend- ants at the present time.
Richard Guy sold the balance of his land to Samue! Carpenter, of Philadelphia, who erected a country seat near the bay, and a few years afterwards sold the property to Redroe Morris, son of Lewis Morris, of England, who bought a large quantity of land ad. joining his first purchase, and died in 1701, leaving

three sons, Joseph, David, and Lewis Morris, who .th inherited four hundred acres. Joseph and Lewis Morris left children. David married and had chil- dren. but they died before their father, who left his farin to hus half-brother, John Hart. In 1765, Hart sold it to Col. Benjamin Holme. There is but a small portion of the Morris land that is not now owned by any of his descendants.
Roger Milton owned a considerable traet adjoining the Morris land.
There was a survey made in 1636 of two thousand one hundred and thirty-four acres of land, including what is now known as Mason Point and other lands and meadows adjoining, and it was called " Anna's Grove." John Mason purchased one thousand acres of this land. The upland is considered as fertile as any in the county of Salem. Mason built a large brick mansion in 1704. One-half of the original Mason estate belongs to the family at the present time.
Adjoining Mason's land William Hanevek pur- chased a large tract of " Anna's Grove," and in 1705 built a large brick dwelling not far from John Mason's mansion. Only a small portion of said land belongs to the family at this time.
Samuel Nicholson. the eminent pioneer, purchased two thousand acres of the Proprietor in 1675, adjoin- ing Anna's Grove on the southwest, John Smith's land on the northeast, and the lands of Robert Windham on the west. Samuel and his wife, Ann, left Salem and settled in Elsinboro. Their place of residence was near Alloways Creek. He died in 1699, devising his real estate to his eldest son, Samuel, and his young- est son, Abel Nicholson.
Samuel Nicholson died when a young man, and left hi- share of his father's estate to his brother, Jo- seph Nicholson, who had married, and resided near Haddonfield. In 1696, Joseph sold more than one- half of his land to George Abbott, the progenitor of the Abbott family, who later made other purchases of land of the Niebolsons. The property was held hy the Abbott family for five generations.
Samuel Stubbins bought the balance of Joseph Nicholson's estate, built thercon, and ended his days there. Ilis son, Henry Stubbins, became the owner, and he having no children left the farm to his nephew, Henry Stubbins Firth.
John Smith, of Amblebury, came to this country in 1675, and purchased two thousand acres of the Pro- prietor. About two-thirds of this land lay in Elsin- boro, the remainder in Lower Alloways Creek, the township line running obliquely across the tract. There are living numerous descendants of John Smith, but none of them own any part of his original purchase.
land in Elsinboro, adjoining lands of John Mason on thesouth, Sanmel Nicholson on the east, Rudoe Morris on the west, and Isaac Smart on the north. In 1705 he built a large brick house, which was torn down a few years ago by Richard Grier, the present owner of the property, and a large frame house was erected on its site.
There are several ancient houses in Elsinboro. Among them are the following: Amos Harris', built by John Darkin about 1720; Richard Waddington's, built by Isaac Smart in 1696; Richard M. Acton's, built by John Mason in 1696, the addition in 1704; and a house built by Abel Nicholsou in 1722, now in tolerable repair.
Prominent families in Elsinboro from 1800 to 1830 were the Carpenters, Counsellors, Corlisses, Dallases, Fogys, Fosters, Goodwins, Holmeses, Harrises, Ilalls, laneocks, Frenses, Kirbys, MeGuays, Millers, Mar- rises, Nelsons, Scattergoods, Sheppards, Thompsons, Tindalls, Waddingtons, and Wards.
Revolutionary History. - Among the names of those designated by Col. Mawhood, in his historieal letter to Col. Hand, written at Salen in the carly part of 1778, as especial objects of his unmanly ven- geance was that of Col. Benjamin Holme, of Ekin- boro, one of those to whomi was directed the threat to "burn and destroy their houses and other prop- erty, and reduce them, their unfortunate wives and children, to beggary and distress." This gentleman was a strong and influential Whig, and an officer in the "rebel" servire so dreaded by the enemy that Lord Howe offered one hundred pounds for him " dead or alive."
Chagrined at his lack of success at Quinton's Bridge and elsewhere in Salem County, Col. Max- hood send a party of soldiers from Salem on an ex- cursion into this township, and, probably in puisu- ance of special orders, they went to Col. Holme's farm, four miles out of Salem, drove his wife and family out of doors, pillaged his property, and set bis dwelling on fire, thus, so far as Col. Holme was concerned, executing Mawhood's threat as literally as possible.
After peace was declared the colonel re-erected his buildings, resumed possession of his property, and lived to an advanced age, much respected by his neighbors and acquaintances.
A clock, which was taken out of the house by Col. Mawhood maior to the destruction of the buildings, and by him carried to New York, was years after- wards found there and bought by a descendant of Col. Holme, and is now owned in the family, and stands in a residence in Salem, keeping as good time as upon the day of the raid into Elsinboro.
Organization .- The Indian name of all or a por- tion of Elsinboro was " Woolessungsing." It was been derived from that of the Swedish fort, "Helsing-
William Hancock, son of the pioneer William Han- cock, of Lower Alloways township, having at the originally called El-borg, its present name having death of his mother inherited her personal property and no real estate, purchased five hundred acres of . borg," or " Elfsborg," carly erected within its limits.
