were made. It is not known where or low he learned astronomy ; his knowledge of this science must have been a natural gift or endowment : when questioned on this point, he always said he picked it up-if he did "pick it up," it was a great achievement, for surely few astronomers before his time picked up more. His most important work was finding the variations in the rising and setting of the sun and the moon. This, like his other calculations, was always done with the utmost facility and exactness, and while he viewed the movements of the celestial spheres and penetrated as far as mortals may into the mysteries of each planet. con- stellation and galaxy, his mathematical skill enabled him to correctly foretell their changes, no matter how remote. Thus he communed with the stars, and followed with familiar eye each glittering train upon its swinging orbit. Mr. Young made calcu- lations for almost all continental Europe, while in this country the practical results of his labors were seen in the well known "Farmers' Almanac." a publication which he originated, and which was long a wel- come annual visitor in the old homesteads of Morris county.
When "Millerism" was at its height. some gentlemen employed Mr. Young to calcu- late back to the time of the crucifixion of Christ and see if the wonderful event of the darkening of the earth, which then took place, was caused by any eclipse or like phenomenon. He did so, and declared that there was none whatever. At another time, some English astronomers who were puzzled over a difficult problem, came to the United States and visited Mr. Young for the purpose of sccuring his aid in solv- ing the same. Much to the surprise of these foreign scientists, he reached a con- clusion after making a little calculation ; when offered a pecuniary reward. he promptly declined pay for what he consid- ered a very slight service. He was a man of marked individuality : many peculiarities and odd sayings are credited to him. Re-
ferring to his numerous moves, he used to say that three moves were good as a fire, and that he had been burned out often, for he had lived in no less than four different houses while residing in the neighborhood of Hanover Neck. Another idea of his was that he never wanted to own but seven feet of land, just enough to bury him in and he had his wish. When engaged upon his cal- cniatious he would see no one nor allow any noise about the house that would dis- turb him in his absorbed and profound ap- plication to his work. One evening some mischievions boys placed a jack-o-lantern on a post near his house to simulate the moon. When Mr. Young saw it he ex- claimed : "Why, it isn't full moon to-night ! I'll get my calculations and see." When the trick was discovered, he threatened to thrash the boys soundly, though it is not probable that the serenity of his nature was much ruffled by the amusing incident. An- other of his distinct peculiarities was that he had no use for the horse as a means of locomotion ; where others would ride, he walked. Mr. Young visited New York City frequently on business connected with his astronomical observations, always making the journey there and back on foot. He was quite an author, though but few of his writings survive : of these, perhaps the best known is a small volume called "The His- tory of the Morristown Ghost," which re- lates in an interesting manner how a New England schoolmaster. assisted by an ac- complice. imposed upon the superstitions of many of the worthy inhabitants of the locality. The book is entertaining and of value as a chronicle of a somewhat curious phase of Morris county history. Another work of his was a sermon entitled "The Illustrious Guest." and is marked by a lofty tone of thought, lucidity of thcological reas- oning. and a spirit of deep and simple piety. Mr. Young's manuscripts were examples of neatness and careful preparation, while his clear, plain style of penmanship reflected the original character of the man. His as-
401

CYCLOPEDIA OF NEW JERSEY
tronomical charts and the books containing his calculations, also showed marked evi- dence of methodical and systematic work. It is to be regretted that no portrait of Mr. Young is obtainable; probably none ever existed. Little remains on earth to remind the world of his individuality, except the old headstone in Hanover churchyard, which marks his grave and bears the follow- ing inscription :
In memory of David Young, Philom. Born Jan 27, 1781. Died Feb. 13, 1852.
On the reverse side of the stone is the following eulogy :
The American Astronomer. He lived like Newton mid yon stars of light He died to see, with unobstructed sight,
The works of God in nature and in grace And view his God and Savior, face to face.
Such was the life and death of this humble yet truly great man. Living apart from the world, unmindful of its selfish strifes, untouched and uninfluenced by its ambitious schenies for wealth and power, he pursued the simple, even tenor of his way, following the course which the Crea- tor destined for him, and passing quietly from earth when his work here was ended.
WHITEHEAD, Ira Condict,
Honored Lawyer and Jurist.
Ira Condict Whitehead was a native of Morris county, born near Morristown, April 6, 1798. In early youth he showed a strong bias for literary pursuits. His father was a farmer of rather moderate means, but, anxious that his son should become a pro- fessional man, gave him every possible ad- vantage. He was prepared for college at the academy at Morristown, under the care of an able and successful teacher whose memory still survives in that town as a most distinguished educator. Mr. White- head entered the junior class at Princeton College . in 1814, and graduated in 1816, with a creditable record. Among his class-
mates were some very distinguished men- McDowell, Governor of Virginia ; Judge Nevius, of the New Jersey Supreme Court ; Senator Butler, of the United States Sen- ate; Bishop McIlvaine, of Ohio; Presi- dent McLean, of Princeton College, and others. After graduating, Mr. Whitehead taught school for two years, part of that time in the academy where he himself had been a pupil. He then entered the office of Joseph C. Hornblower, afterward Chief Justice of New Jersey of New Jersey, and was licensed in 1821 as an attorney, and in 1824 as a counsellor-at-law. He began the practice of his profession at Schooley's Mountain, having his office in the building known as the Heath House. He remained here for only a short time, perhaps for two or three years, when at the request of George K. Drake, afterward Associate Jus- tice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, who was then in full practice at Morris- town, he removed to that place and entered into partnership with that gentleman. From that time until his death he contin- ued to be a resident of Morristown. The partnership with Mr. Drake did not con- tinue long. Mr. Drake was appointed to the bench in 1826, when, of course, the bus- iness connection between the two gentle- men ceased. Mr. Whitehead very soon gained the respect and confidence of the community by his integrity and ability, and secured a very large clientage by his strict attention to business and devotion to the interests of his clients. He had no partic- ular specialty in his practice, but his ser- vices were very often required by his num- erous clients as trustee, executor and guar- dian, for which positions he was peculiarly equipped, being a careful, prudent man, of great business capacity, and thoroughly trustworthy. On November 3rd, 1841, the term of Judge Ford expired, and Mr. Whitehead was elected to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench. He assumed tlie duties of the position at the time when there was an array of the ablest and most
402
CYCLOPEDIA OF NEW JERSEY
brilliant lawyers that ever practiced at the bar of New Jersey ; in fact no abler law- yers ever existed anywhere. These men appeared before him and argued their causes. In many respects this was an ad- vantage to the new judge. He had the benefit of their wisdom, of their experience and of their great abilities. But it was a severe ordeal for him. He must measure swords with these expert gladiators in the mental arena.
The sound common sense of Judge Whitehead made him a very valuable addi- tion to the bench. His opinions were al- ways carefully prepared after the most pa- tient investigation and research, and were always regarded with great respect. The earliest delivered by him was in the case of Den vs. Allaire, which was a most im- portant case involving many intricate and abstruse principles of law. The cause was argued by the most eminent counsel in the country. The opinion of the court, which was unanimous, was delivered by the Judge, and showed an immense amount of labor and a thorough examination of the subject. All cases presented to Judge Whitehead received the most patient and industrious investigation and his deci- sions, found in the reports, only serve to increase the respect due to a learned and laborious jurist and impartial judge. He continued in office only one term; when that expired the Governor of the State was a Democrat and, although greatly desir- ous of reappointing Judge Whitehead, yielded to the demands of his party, and a Democrat succeeded.
Judge Whitehead returned to his prac- tice in Morristown, and met with consider- able success, but having secured a compe- tency sufficient for his simple habits of life, finally accepted a seat on the bench of the Common Pleas of Morris county, where he served for one term. He then retired from active practice, confining his business to the care of the many estates of which he was executor and trustee. A few
years before his death he suffered a slight attack of paralysis and finally died of apoplexy, in 1867.
LALOR, Jeremiah,
Neighbor of Joseph Bonaparte.
The Lalor family of New Jersey, which was ably represented by the late Jeremiah Lalor, is of Irish origin, early members of the family residing in Queens, Kings and Tipperary counties, Ireland, and they take their name from Leathlabhar, pronounced "Lalower," and "Lalor," who was king of Ulster for fifteen years, and who is No. IOI on the "Lyneles" of Ulster pedigree. The line of descent of Jeremiah Lalor is traced back to Major Jeremiah Lalor, through his son, Richard Lalor ; his son, Jeremiah Lalor ; his son, Thomas Lalor ; his son, John Lalor; his son, Jeremiah Lalor, who was engaged in mercantile pursuits in New Brunswick, New Jersey, for many years, married Kitty de Klyn, daughter of Barnt de Klyn, of French descent, whose father was an early settler where the city of Brooklyn now stands ; and who died September 2, 1807, in the forty-first year of his age, interred in the graveyard of Christ Church, New Brunswick.
Jeremiah Lalor, son of Jeremiah and Kitty (de Klyn) Lalor, was born Septem- ber 26, 1800. His early years were spent as a merchant in the city of New York, and in 1829 he took up his residence on the Bow Hill property willed to him by his grand- father, Barnt de Klyn, in 1825, and which consisted of about three hundred acres of land lying in what was later Hamilton town- ship, Mercer county, New Jersey, and he passed the remainder of his days in farming. He was an active enterprising man, and at his death was the possessor of about seven hundred acres of land. He was prominent in the ranks of the Democratic party. He married Elizabeth Tilton Smith, daughter of John Smith, a prominent miller of Hightstown, New Jersey, and a sister of R.

Moore Smith, for seventeen years treasurer of the State of New Jersey. John Smith was a son of Captain William Smith, of the Revolutionary army, who died February 14. 1791, aged forty-eight years, and was buried in the Presbyterian graveyard at Cranbury, New Jersey. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Lalor : John Beatty, died August 22, 1881 ; Julia R., became the wife of Andrew Bar- rickla, of Jersey City ; Mary S., became the wife of Dr. Symmes H. Bergen, of Toledo, Ohio; Elizabeth S., unmarried ; Caroline V .. unmarried : de Klyn, who as first lieutenant of Company E, Fifth New Jersey Volun- teers, lost his life at the battle of Williams- burg, Virginia, during the Civil War, being shot through the head while leading his company, May 5, 1862 ; Kate B., became the wife of Henry T. Cook, of Trenton; Wil- liam Smith, a physician, of Trenton ; Frank Howard. Jeremiah Lalor, father of these children, died November 20, 1865. and his body was interred in Riverview Cemetery. Trenton, New Jersey. His wife died May 29, 1875.
At the very southern end of Trenton, New Jersey, where the higher ground of the city suddenly falls away to the meadows beyond, there is a most curious promontory locally known as Bow Hill, which juts out into the marsh-lands like a huge horseshoe. Right in the middle of this peninsula stood a veteran house, a specimen of very divert- ing colonial architecture, whose chief claim to public attention was not so much on that account as by reason of having been for some time the residence of that ubiquit- ous Frenchman, Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain, King of Naples. member of the Legion of Honor, Count de Survilliers, who leased the house for two years while Barnt de Klyn, his friend ( father of Jeremiah Lalor's mother), lived in New York City. The house was built in 1785 out of bricks brought from England, as was the necessary custom in those days, and with sand from Pennsylvania. The house was planned after a very common colonial scheme,-simply
that of running a wide hall through the house from front to back, and putting two rooms on either side of it. The kitchen of Bow Hill was in a little wing tacked to the building on the east side. The doorway, with its semicircular transom of stained glass, was very attractive, and upon enter- ing the hallway was seen another semi- circular stained glass transom at the other end of the hall, peeping over the landing of the stairs. Under the landing was a door exactly similar to the entrance door, and outside a porch precisely like the porch with- out the other door. Within the house were many interesting things. The stairway was an exquisite piece of architecture, dainty and attractive, and managed with remark- able restraint and good taste, while the steps had just short enough radius to give an aesthetic sense of excitement regarding the possibility of reaching the bottom in safety. The sides of the stair, below the string course, instead of being panelled in the usual way, were decorated most charmingly with little reed mouldings running perpendicu- larly. There were several Chippendale din- ing-room chairs, a mantel done in the real colonial manner, with little baby pilasters and applied carvings of ropes of flowers and baskets of fruit, and candelabra.
JOHNSON, Thomas V.,
Man of Strong Character.
The subject of this review, Thomas Vail Johnson, was born in Littleton, Morris county, New Jersey, October 8, 1809, and was the fifth son of Mahlon Johnson. He was named for his grandfather, Thomas Vail, who was an early occupant of land in Morris county, and was the ancestor of all the Vails in this country.
In early manhood, Thomas Vail John- son married, and located in Newark, New Jersey, where he made his home for many years. He there engaged in merchandis- ing on an extensive scale, handling various articles of commerce, and dealing in grain.

doing both a wholesale and retail business. He was a man of resourceful business ability, whose efforts were by no means confined to one line of endeavor, was very energetic, progressive and farsighted, and his capable management and thorough re- liability in all business matters won suc- cess, as well as the confidence of all with whom he came in contact. At one time he owned a steamboat and four sailing vessels plying between New York City and New- ark. In 1846 he was associated with ex- Governor Marcus L. Ward and others in the organization of the American Mutual Fire and Marine Insurance Company, which began business without any capital : but the names of Mr. Johnson, Mr. Ward and other well known and reliable business men, were on the notes of the company to cover any loss by fire. Later Mr. Johnson purchased a farm near his birthplace, Lit- tleton, Morris county, where he lived for many years ; but for several years prior to his demise he was a resident of Morris- town, and there he passed away. March 29, 1879.
Mr. Johnson was ever a public-spirited and progressive citizen, active in reform work, especially in the line of slavery aboli- tion and of temperance work. He did all in his power to create an abolition senti- ment in his community, even at a time when it was dangerous to hold such views. On one occasion, at a public meeting, he exhibited a lash used in the south for whip- ping negroes, and this so angered the friends of slavery in that locality that he was threatened with mob violence. His home became a station on the "under-
ground railroad," and he personally con- ducted many a poor negro on his way to freedom. So bitter became the opposition to him on account of these humanitarian acts that he often had to have a guard around his house to save it from destruc- tion at the hands of the pro-slavery men. Mr. Johnson, however, was a man of firm convictions, and neither fear nor favor could turn him from a course which he be- lieved to be right. He was a friend to the poor and needy and no one who sought his aid was ever turned from his door empty- handed. His life was the exemplification of a true Christian spirit. In his early life he belonged to the Presbyterian church, but afterward became an active worker in the Congregational church, and contrib- uted largely to the building of the house of worship of that denomination in Newark. In many other ways he assisted in promot- ing the best interests of the city, and was far in advance of the times both in human- itarian ideas and business principles. At one time he purchased a farm near New- ark, and laid off streets and town lots.
Mr. Johnson was united in marriage to a daughter of Jonathan Cory, one of the prominent citizens of Newark at that time. She survived her husband a number of years. passing away in 1892. They reared nine children : J. Cory, of Bloomfield, New Jersey ; Francis C .; Thomas Vail, a resi- dent of Madison; Henry M., of Morris- town, New Jersey : Edward Payton : Mar- tha F., of Newark; Mary E., of Morris- town ; Sarah F. C. ; and Anna Vail, of Mor- ristown.
