HISTORY OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
CAPT. WILLIAM JERRELL.
The Jerrell family are of Scotch aneestry, though Zachariah, the grandfather, was born in Cumberland County, where he followed farming occupations. He had sons, Isaac, John, and Jeremiah, and a number of daughters. Mr. Jerrell resided in Fairfield town- ship, where his death occurred in advanced years. JIis son Jeremiah was born in the latter township in 1807, and spent the greater portion of his life cither in that or the neighboring township of Downe, where he was a farmer. Ile married Elizabeth. daughter of Webster Souder, and had children,- Thomas, Gertrude (Mrs. John Banks), William, George M., John, Mary (Mrs. Robert Nixon), Annic (MIrs. John Owing), Jane E. (Mrs. Edward E. Emerton), and Rebecca (Mrs. Thomas Tribett). Mr. Jerrell, having retired from active pursuits, now resides in Downe township, where his son Wil- liam was born Nov. 12, 1836. He passed his youth until the age of twelve year- at the house of his maternal grandfather, where opportunities for edu- cation were exceedingly limited. Having imbibed a taste for the waterman's craft he then engaged a- cook on board a vessel, and remained in that capacity for four years, after which he went before the mast, and at the age of twenty became master of a vessel, which he sailed for two years. He then purchased the schooner " Beulah E. Sharp," plying between Philadelphia and Boston, of which he was master, and entered into the service of the government, trans- porting coal to Southern ports for the use of the army and navy. Capt. Jerrell sold this vessel in 1$61, and purchased the schooner " b. Gifford" the following year, which he sailed until 1872, and was engaged in a general coasting trade. Ile in 1572 built the schooner "Nellie S. Jerrell," and for eight years sailed her between the ports of Maine and the West Indies. This vessel was soll in IS81, and the " Re- beces S. Mulford" built the same year, which the captain is now commanding, and in whose perfect equipments he manifests a commendable pride. He is engaged in coasting during the summer months, and runs to Southern ports in winter. Capt. Jerrell was married, in 1857. to Cornelia S., daughter of Fithian S. Parvin, of Downe township. Their chil -. dren are Herbert P., W. Howard, and Nellie. Her- bert P. was a pupil of the West Jersey Academy at Bridgeton, after which he remained for three years at the New Jersey Institute at Hackettstown, and com- pleted his studies with honor. He then spent four years at the Wesleyan University, and in 1882 entered the Law Department of Columbia College, New York. The family, in 1866, removed to Bridgeton, which has since been their place of residence, though frequently passing many weeks on board the vessel. The captain is in politics a Republican, though with neither tin- nor inclination for office. He is still actively en- gaged in his chosen pursuit, in addition to which he is interested either directly or indirectly in twelve or
-
more vessels. Both Capt. and Mrs. Jerrell are Pay bers of the Central Methodist Episcopal Church Bridgeton.

Mi-s Mary Mason. Their children were Jane. Mary, ' secured. His genial social qualities endeared him to William ( who attained distinction in the war of 1812), a large circle of friends, and his sudden death was Harriet, and Henrietta. He was married, a second | generally deplored. time, to Miss Sarah Boyd, to whom were born chil-
dren,-James, John, Martha, Ann B., James B., I the West Jersey Railroad Company he is spoken of Robert B., and Margaret R.
Col. David Potter was a man noted for his earnest patriotism, his generous hospitality, and his energetic character. He was the principal merchant in the town of his adoption, and carried on a large trade in grain, produce, and himber, shipping the same in his own vessels to Philadelphia. In 1775, at the begin- ning of the conflict between America and Great Britain, he was elected captain of a military company at Bowentown. In February, 1777, he was commis- sioned brigadier-general by Governor Livingston, but ! refused to accept. He did receive a colonel's commis- sion, however, and joined Gen. Mercer's brigade. IIe was taken prisoner at the battle of Germantown, and was imprisoned for a time aboard the prison-ship " Jersey," in Wallabout Bay. He was paroled, but was unable to procure an exchange for many months, which scriously affected his business arrangements. In 1782, Col. Potter was appointed marshal of the admiralty, and sold several captured and confiscated vessels. In 1587 he was elected one of three dele- gates to the State Convention held at Trenton which ratified the Constitution of the United States, and in 1791-93 he was elected sheriff of Cumberland County. I'pon the division of parties, he warmly embraced the side of the Washington and Ilamilton Federal- ists. He was eminently public-spirited, and was largely instrumental in erecting the l'resbyterian Church of Bridgeton in 1792. He was also one of the charter members of Brearley Lodge, F. A. M. Col. David Potter died Dec. 10, 1805, aged sixty-one years.
Ilis son, James Boyd Potter, was born Feb. 7, 1796,
In a series of resolutions passed by the directors of as "a public-spirited citizen, an enterprising and ca- ergetic man of business, and in all his relations to society of spotless reputation, high integrity, and amiable character."
A brief review of the character of the late James Boyd Potter is afforded in the following extract, taken from an obituary notice published soon after his death :
"He was a true-hearted patriot, and gave every possible service to his country in her hour of need, yielding his own sons to the conflict in sustaining the insulted honor of his country and flag. He was lofty in the purity of his principles, bold in their advocacy, and, what should render him immortal, he was an ' honest man. As a father he was kind and indulgent, as a husband affectionate and amiable, and just in all the relations of life. He was equal to every position he was called to fill. If he had a fault, there stood by its side a virtne so prominent as to overshadow it. If he committed an error, there stood out the purity of his motives, challenging the admiration of his friends, and commanding the respect of his oppo- nents. The humblest citizen or stranger never ap- proached him without receiving at his hands the most considerate attention, and often did he visit those whom disease had prostrated to counsel, en- courage, and to minister to them. To stero integrity, fearless candor, and a high sense of honor he united the positive virtues of benevolence, charity, and hos- pitality. The poor, the unprotected, and distressed never appealed to him without receiving suecor and consolation."
Mr. Potter's relations in Bridgeton continued over in Bridgeton, where his life was spent, and where he . a period of half a century, during which time he be- subsequently became a prosperous merchant. He . came largely identified with its interests, and con- was married, April 28, 1818, to Miss Jane, daughter ' tributed greatly to its growth. His death occurred of John and Susanna Barron, of Centre County, Oct. 26, 1865, in his seventieth year. His son, J. Barron, was born July 18, 1823, in Bridgeton, the scene of his boyhood experiences. His preparatory studies were pursued under the direction of L. F. Claflin, after which, in 1840, he entered Princeton C'ollege, and received his diploma as a graduate in 18.14. Choosing the profession of medicine, he en- tered the office of his consin, Dr. William Elmer, of Bridgeton, and later became a student in the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, from which he graduated in 1847. He chose Bridgeton as a desirable field of labor, and has since that time continued in active practice. The doctor is a member of both State and County Medical Societies. He has been successful in his professional labors, and enjoyed an extended practice as the re- ward of skill and assidnous devotion to the interest4 of his patients. He is a gentleman of quiet tastes, Pa., and had children,-David, Sarah Boyd (MIrs. William G. Nixon), John Barron, James Barron, Francis II., Robert (deceased), Margaret E., Robert Barron, and William Elmer. Gen. David Potter, the eldest son, was born Feb. 7, 1819, and died at his home in Bridgeton May 7, 1866. For many years he had been connected with the publie enterprises of South Jersey, and at the time of his death was one of the original directors of the West Jersey Railroad, and president of the West Jersey Marl and Transpor- tation Company. The former enterprise was largely indebted to his energy for its ultimate success. He also held the appointment of brigadier-general of the Cumberland Brigade. In all that pertained to the public welfare of his native city and county Gen. Potter took n lively interest, and mainly through his efforts was the first charter for the city of Bridgeton
