HISTORY OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Branch at a dam made by the beavers, from which it was called Beaver D.un until within a few years, when it has been named St. Martens; then to the Cohansey The road from Millville northward on the west side of the West Jersey Railroad to the county line, well known as Malaga road, was laid out in August, 1798, and at the same time Main Street was laid out from near Bridgeton, where it joined the road from Fair- field to Burlington. That portion of it in Maurice River township is still known as the Oll Cape road, and is used to some extent, but the laying out of more : the river, nine rods above the location of the bridge at that time, due cast forty-two rods to the beginning of Malaga road.

direct highways has caused this, like most of the other roads which followed the old Indian trails, to be abandoned for most of its course. This road was one of the most important highways in the county, being the one traveled from all the western part of the county through Cohansey Bridge to Maurice River and Cape May, and the only means of land commu- nication by the Cape May people until 1762, when the toll-bridge across the cedar swamps on the creek of that name below Petersburg was built.
A bridge was built over Maurice River where the Old Cape road cro -- ed that stream probably soon after it was laid out, against which a presentment was made at May terin, 1754, of the Court of Over and Terminer for being out of repair, and the court ordered the township of Maurice River to pay a fine of ten pounds unless it was repaired by next term. Application was at once made to six surveyors of the highways from this county and six from Cape May, and on June 20, 1754, they laid out a road from Ber- riman's Branch, near Leaming's Mill, straight to the place on Maurice River called the Shingle Landing, and across the river and in a direct line to the Beaver : Dam, which road "we appoint the highway instead of the upper road over said river at the place called the New Mill." Shingle Landing was where Millville now is, and probably acquired its name from being the place of shipment for the product of the mills farther up the stream. A bridge was built at this place, resting on log cribs, before 1756, after which the old road soon ceased to be used. Shingle Landing became Maurice River New Bridge, which it con- tinued to be called until Joseph Buck laid out the present town and named it Millville.
In October, 1756, a four-rod road was laid, begin- ning at the new bridge on Maurice River Landing, at or near Lucas Peterson's house, and ran up the road which formerly went to Iszard's Mill (which was probably at Buckshutum), and along the north side of White Marsh Run to the head of Town Swamp, "into a road called Iszard's road," then down it to the road from New England Town to Cohansey Bridge. Iszard's road was probably the road mentionel in 1705 as going to Daniel England's saw-mill, now owned by Iszard. The road laid out at this time was the old road from Millville to Fairton.
In February, 1757, a road was laid from the same place in a direct course to the head of Buckshntum Cedar Swamp, and then on to where Cedarville now is. being nearly the same as the present road from Mil !- ville to Cedarville. In December, 1800, this road wa: relaid as it now exists.
The road from Port Elizabeth across the township to Tuckahoe was laid out iu 1794.
The road from Millville to the county line, called Hance's Bridge road, was laid out in 1808, com- meneing on Main Street, twenty rods east of the beginning-point of the Malaga road; the straight road from Millville to Port Elizabeth was finally located as now used after a long contest in IS18; that from Millville, east of the West Jersey Railroad, to the county line, known as the Horse Bridge road, in 1827; and the new Souder's Mill road, from Millville to the county line, in 1828. A road from l'ort Eliza- beth, across Maurice River at Spring Garden Ferry, then up to Buckshutum, and a straight road from there to Bridgeton, was laid out in 1810.
CHAPTER LXXXI
EARLY HISTORY.
AFTER the first settlements the peopling of the county proceeded slowly but steadily, other settler- also coming in from the other provinces and from Europe. The formation of the early churches and other local items will be found under the respective townships. AAmong those of a general nature of in- terest at the present day the following are noted.
The name Cohansey was used for many years as the designation of the region watered by that river from Cohansey Bridge to its mouth, both sides of the stream being calledl by that name. The town laid out at Cohanscy by Fenwick's executors was designed to be called by that name, but after the locating of some of the Connecticut settlers in the town it gradually acquired the name of Greenwich, probably from the town of that name in Fairfield County, Conn. The region now included in this county, previous to its setting off from Salem, was generally known as the north and south sides of Cohansey, although Fair- field was also used in place of the latter name. The two sides of the Cohansey were made precinets or townships previous to 1706. The first minutes of the courts of Salem County that have been preserved commence with the term begun Sept. 17, 1706, and at the next term, in December of that year, constable- were appointed for all the precincts in the county, including the " north side of Cohansey" and " Fair- feld." The southern precinct was also called Fair- fichi, and the northern one Greenwich, in 1727 and 172>, but every other year, up to and including 1712,

GENERAL HISTORY.
after which the minutes are missing, they are called the north and south sides of Cohansey, and have the same officers as other townships of the county. In 1715 and 1716, and again in 1735, 1741, and 1742, the officers appointed for both sides are divided into those for the upper and lower parts of those sides, but this seems to have been merely for the convenience of the inhabitants, no regular division into two parts having been made. In 1718 a constable was first appointed for " Morris River," as it is called, the settlers along the river having increased in number so as to need such an officer. Under this designation both sides of the river were included, and in 1741 and 1742 one was appointed for the west side and one for the east side of the river. An overseer of the roads was also appointed for Maurice River in 1728, and continued afterwards, and in 1742 one for each side. No other officers were appointed for Maurice River. In 1736 two constables were appointed for the town of Green- wich, and each year after that one was appointed. The courts seem to have had and exercised the power to appoint necessary officers for those portions of the county which were not included in any organized township.
The line which afterwards, on the setting off of Cumberland, became the county line between Deer- field township and Pittsgrove township. Salem Co., was first established in 1731. At the February term of court, on reading a petition from the overseer of roads for Cape May, Joseph Reeves, Samuel Elwell, and Capt. Job Shepherd were appointed to tun a division line between Pilesgrove (which then included Pittsgrove) and the south side of Cohansey. A return 1 of this line as run out by them was made, beginning The royal Governors continually strove to obtain the largest possible amounts for the support of their government, but taxes were odious to the people whether Quakers or non-Quakers, and their payment was delayed and resisted on any pretext. In 1714 acts were passed appropriating 22550 for the support of her Majesty's government in New Jersey, and for collecting the arrearages of taxes since 1708. The levying of taxes under these aets seems to have created a small-sized rebellion on the north side of Cohansey, region. They united to resist payment on the grounds shown by the following paper drawn up and signed , by them : at the head of Fenwick's Run, a branch of Salem Creek, and then a direct southeast course "to ye main Branch of Moresis River half a mile nor-east from the Bridge called Lumes's Bridge and from thence upon a straight Corse to the end of the Countey." This line is at this day the division between Piles- grove and Pittsgrove townships on the northeast and Mannington and Upper Alloways Creek townships on the southwest, as well as between the two counties. What is now Landis township and the upper part of ; which included nearly all the male tax-payers of that Maurice River were by this line placed in l'ilesgrove. What the overseer of roads for Cape May had to do with it is difficult to understand. "Lumes's" [Lummis' (?)] Bridge was the bridge where the old Cape road eros-ed Maurice River.
At the first court, Sept. 17, 1706, Obadiah Holmes was one of the two judges, aud Joseph Sayre, James Alexander, and Samuel Alexander were three of the five justices present. They all resided in the present limits of this county, as did also Joseph Eastland (foreman), John Shepherd, John Williams, and Noah Miller, members of the grand jury. Thomas Craven was one of the coustables from the north side of Co- hansey, and James Padgett from the south sile. During the succeeding years a large proportion of the .
judges, ju-tice-, and jurors were from this part of the county. On the accession of Lord Cornbury as Gov- ernor in 1703. upon the union of East and West Jersey in one government, a contest at once arose between the Quakers, who had heretofore been the controlling element in West Jersey, and the Governor, who heartily detested the doctrines which led them to oppose him in his endeavors to enlarge the royal au- thority in the province. In this contest those settlers of other denominations beside the Friends became involved, and the great political contest in West Jersey for many years was between the Quaker and non- Quaker elements, each striving to mould the legisla- tion of the colony for their own benefit. The acri- mony and bitterness of the contest has not been surpassed in later years. All the devices and tricks which are popularly supposed to be inventions of morlern political warfare were resorted to. Illegal votes were taken if they were on the right side, and legal ones rejected, false returns of those elected were made, riots at the polls were had, and contested seats for the purpose of throwing the organization of the Legislature into the hands of the other party were among the incidents of the day, and charges of bribery, extending even to the Governor, were freely made and partly substantiated by sworn proof. Cornbury and the succeeding royal Governors backed the non- Quaker element as against the Quakers, although they opposed the Governors in many things, and all appointments to office were largely made from that element, which, in Salem County, caused the undue proportion of officers among the Baptists ard Pres- byterians of Cohansey.

At the June term, 1715, all of these persons, ex- vepting Alexander Foreman, John Cook, aml Robert Alexander, "all of Cohansey, yeomen," were in- dieted for resisting the constable and refusing to pay or suffer him to make distress for the tax. A copy of the paper was transmitted to the Lords Commission- ers for Trade and Plantations at London by Governor Hunter, accompanied by a letter wherein he says, " They are all from New England who have signed it. hut whether they be a true sample of the body of the people there, or only a sett of unquiet or restless men, who could be easy nowhere, and so left that Province for this, I cannot determine, but this I confidently afirm, that all the oposition and vexation I have met with in both these Provinces (New York and New Jersey) has been in a great measure owing to those who have come to us from that," which shows that the Governor was not very favorably dispose.l towards the New England people. David Shep- pard and Joseph Smith, of the South Side, were in- ilicted for like resistance to Samuel Westcott, the constable there. The collection of this fax was so unpopular that when the court at the same term ap- pointed Jonathan Holmes as constable for the North Side, he refused to be qualified, and was committed to the custody of the sheriff for his refusal. At the next term a certiorari was presented removing the above indictment to the Supreme Court, but what further became of it is not known.
At March terni, 1716, the granting of tavern lieenses first began, the court having made regulations for this purpose at the preceding term. John Brick was licensed to keep a tavern at his mills, now Jericho, at that term, which was renewed nutil 1729. Charles Angelo and Alexander Smith were also licensed at the same term, and Angelo again in 1718, both in Cohansey. Other licenses within the limits of Cum- berland at that early day were: Edward Shaw, in 1718 and 1719; Richard Ogden and William Rawsor, in 1722, the latter at his mill on Menantico; Jacob Ware, at Greenwich, in 1723, '29, '41, and '42; Wil- liam Watson, at Greenwich, from 1733 to 1742; James Carruthers, at Greenwich, 1737 to 1739; John Foster, at Greenwich, 1737 ; Silas Parvin, at Cohansey Bridge, 1737 to 1741 ; --- Fitz Randolph, at Greenwich, 1739; Elias Cotting, at Cohansey Bridge, 1739 to 1742; Edward Sheppard and Jeremiah Nixon, on the south side of Cohansey, in 1739, and the latter again .
in 1742; William Doubleday, at Cohansey Bridg .. 1740; John Bell, at Maurice River, 1740 to 1742: John Butler, Greenwich, 1741 and 1742; and John Peterson, at Maurice River, in 1742. After Augu -: term, 1742, the minutes of the courts are missing. a. are also those from December term, 1722, to March term, 1727.
At September term, 1716, the grand jury made a presentment against Dickinson Shepherd for disturb- ing the poll on the fourth Tuesday of that month at the election in the town of Salem. At that time the election was held at ouly one place in a county. What the disturbance was is not known, and nothing further was done with it. At that election Shepherd was a candidate, and was elected a member of the Assembly.
Officers were appointed by the court for the differ- ent precinets or townships in the county. The follow . ing is a list of those for the precinets now included in Cumberland. Though the officers are not of great importance, yet the early date when they served, and the information they give as to the early settlers ren- der the list interesting :
