BUDD
prietors of several undivided shares of West Jersey, conveyed to Thomas Budd 15,000 acres of land, he to pay the Indians for their rights. This land "was allotted said Budd by the Country for Satis- faction of a Debt of £1250 which they owed said Budd; it is said to be the best Land in the Province."-Y J. Archires, 2: 99. Budd sold this tract to Dr. Daniel Coxe, who sold it in turn to the Proprietors of West Jersey, some time prior to December 24, 1692 .- Ib. It was then valued by Dr. Coxe at £10 per hundred acres, but they were willing to sacrifice it at £5 per hundred acres. Hitherto, Budd ap- pears to have been a resident of Burlington, where he was a "mer- chant" or "trades." But in the next conveyance, dated October 20, 1687, he is designated as of Philadelphia, merchant, he and his wife Susanna deeding certain lands to Samuel Harriot, of Burlington. Samuel Groome, of London, merchant, conveyed to Thomas Budd. of Philadelphia, merchant, Feb. 11, 1689-90, two eights of a share of West Jersey, and on February 5, of the same year, he acquired half a share in West Jersey from James Wasse, of London. His activities in dealings in real estate now relaxed, his next transaction being in 1693, when he located a tract "where the present road crosses the main north branch of Rancocus creek at Pemberton, running north almost as far as Juliustown, embracing all the land from the main street in Pemberton, easterly for a mile and three quarters up said creek."-(Proc. W. J. Surreyors Assoc., 38.) In September, 1699, Susanna Budd, by her deputy, resurveyed the above tract, on the east side of Pemberton, and found it to contain 2,000 acres; on July 11, 1701, she sold it. John Chamnis having mortgaged a tract of 200 acres of land in Burlington county to Thomas Budd, and failing to observe the obligations he had incurred, Budd foreclosed the mort- gage and the property was sold to him and Susanna his wife, by James Hill, sheriff of Burlington county, August S, 1693. A return was made of a survey of 2,000 acres of land at Mount Pisgah, for Budd, in April, 1691 Henry Grubb, of Burlington, innholder, conveyed to Thomas Budd, of Philadelphia, merchant, 4th d. 7th mo. (Sept.) 1695, a tract of 50 acres. November 2, 1695, Jonathan Beere made an assignment to Budd. John Reading conveyed to Budd Dec. 3, 1695, a tract of 200 acres called Mount Eagle, on the coast near Great Egg Harbour. Jonathan Beere. Esquire, and Burgess of Salem Town, con- veyed to Budd four 12-acre lots in Salem Town marsh, by deed dated May 25. 1.696, and on August 22 following Budd acquired two more lots in Salem Town marsh, one of 17 and the other of S acres, the grantor being William Hall, of Salem Town. In an Indian deed, May S, 1699, from Hugnon and Lumoseecon, Sachems, to John Harrison, the tract is described as lying between Cranberry Brook and Milston river, Yorkroad and Thomas Budd, showing that Budd had acquired lands much north of his original purchases. The foregoing list of conveyances. probably by 110 means complete, has been taken from N. J. Archives, 21. They show the remarkable activity and enter- prise of the man. Having bought so extensively in West Jersey, he found quite a number of Swedes already settled upon his lands. At his request, they produced proofs of their titles, and Budd thereupon gave them deeds from himself, confirming them in the ownership of their homes .- Penn. Mag., 17: S5. While he was thus engaged in real estate investments or speculations, he was by no means neglectful of public affairs. In 16SJ, he was appointed by the West Jersey Assem- bly one of the receivers general to collect £200 for the purpose of de- fraying the debts of the Province. In May, 1682, he was chosen one
63
BUDD
of the commissioners for "settling and regulation of lands," a mem- ber of the governor's council, and one of the regulators of weights and measures. In September, 1682, he was appointed a justice of the peace for Burlington; he was elected to the Assembly, and rechosen land commissioner, and to serve on the governor's council; in May, 1682, he was appointed one of the commissioners to raise Provincial moneys in the Second Tenti:, and in the six Lower Tenths, and was appointed special Provincial treasurer. He was a member of the Assembly, 3d mo. 1685, and also a member of the governor's council; land commissioner for the Second Tenth, Indian land commissioner, and Provincial treasurer. Budd and Francis Collins were voted, in 1683, each 1,000 acres, "parts of lands to be purchased of the Indians above the falls," the present site of Trenton, in consideration and discharge for building a market and court house at Burlington. At the session of the Assembly in May, 1683, Budd was selected to write to members of the Society of Friends in London relative to the state of the case of the Proprietors with Edward Byllinge. In 9th mo. 1683 he was designated to write to Edward Byllinge on the same sub- ject. In March, 1684, he was appointed with Samuel Jenings to rep- resent the claims of the freeholders to the government, as opposed 10 Edward Byllinge's pretence to the same, and also to demand that Byllinge confirm what he had sold. The Assembly voted the com- missioners 1500 acres above the falls as their security for £100 ster- ling. Soon after, mn 1684, Budd sailed for England upon his mission. While abroad he rendered to the country his most distinguished ser- vice, in the publication of a small book on conditions in the Provinces controlled by Friends, entitled "Good Order Established in Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey," which appears to have been given to the printers October 25, 1685. This undoubtedly gave a great stimulus to emigration to West Jersey. In 1685 he was chosen to the Assembly, and became one of the chief promoters in the erection of the new Meeting House at Burlington. 17th 9th mo. in the same year he petitioned the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania for a special court to decide a difference between Philip Th: Lehman and himself. He and others petitioned the same bady, 7th of 12th mo. 1688-9, for en- couragement in setting up a bank for money. He went to England again in 1689, returning to Philadelphia the following year. August 6, 1690. he bought the Blue Anchor tavern and adjacent property on the west side of Front street, Philadelphia, and extending toward Walnut street; he gradually demolished the old buildings, and erected a row of timber and brick houses called in the old times "Budd's Long Row"; into the southernmost house of the row the Blue Anchor tavern was moved, so that it stood at the foot of Delaware and Front streets and Dock creek: two of the houses he sold to Anthony Morris, 4, 8, 1697 .- Pen. Mag., 20: 431. In 1691 took place the famuos schism among Friends, led by George Keith, who afterwards became con- nected with St. Mary's church, Burlington, when he wrote that mag- nificent hymn, which has been sung by countless thousands of Chris- tions, "How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord." Budd was one of the signers of the confession of faith, or declaration, of Keith. Morgan Edwards says he afterwards became a Baptist, and was a preacher among them. No evidence of this has been found, however, and Edwards doubtless erred. Keith was formally disowned by Friends, 1692, and probably Budd likewise. Il December, 1692, Keith and Budd were presented by the grand jury of Philadelphia, as the authors of an attack made by Keith upon Samuel Jenings and the

magistracy; they were tried, convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of £5 each, but the penalty was never exacted .- Proud's Hist. Penna., 1: 373; Pom. Mag., 18. 425. Budd continued loyal to Keith, and ac- companied him to England in 1694, to defend him before the Yearly Meeting of Friends. His wife adhered to the Society of Friends, among whom she was prominent. The will of Thomas Budd, of Philadelphia, is signed February 8, 1697-8, and was proved March 25, 1698. The only real estate specified is that which he devised to his son Thomas, and in which his son lived, "being the corner house nearest the dock." He gives his daughters £100 each. There is no residuary clause. His personal estate was inventoried at £457 .- Philadelphia Wills, Liber A, f. 384. There is much reason to believe, however, that at the time of his death he still possessed much of the vast estates acquired by him during his score of years in America. In his will he names four children:
i. Thomas3.
ii. Mary3, b. 2d 7 mo. 1677, as recorded in Burlington Monthly Meeting Records of Births and Deaths, 1677-1698, in Friends' Library, Philadelphia. The place of birth is not stated. It was not unusual to record in America births which had taken place in England She m 1st. Dr. John Gosling, of Burling- ton: 2, in 1686, Francis Collins; he was a bricklayer, in Gloucester, but on his marriage removed to Bur- lington; in 1690 he built the Burlington county court house, for which he received £100 and a tract of land.
· iii. Rose", b. 13th 1st mo. 1680-81, as recorded in the same volume as her sister Mary's birth.
5. iv. John3.
3. William2 Thomas1 Budd had issue (bap. in St. Mary's church, Bur- lington) :
3. William2 Thomas1 Budd, b. 1680; m. Elizabeth He was known as William Budd, junior, to distinguish him from an uncle of the same name. Edward Armstrong, in his interesting, accurate and learned Introductory Note, to Gowans's reprint of "Good Order Es- tablished in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in America," says: "Wil- liam, who died in 172€, at his farm in Northampton township, Bur- lington county, about four miles west of Mount Holly, and who by his will left a benefaction to the Episcopal church of St. Mary's at Burlington, of which he appears to have been a steadfast member, and where he is buried, and also land in Northampton township, on which to build a church. His descendants are very numerous in Pennsylvania, and in southern New Jersey, and we believe that with the exception of those of the name who trace their origin to Thomas Budd, and who are comparatively few, all the rest in the regions re- ferred to are descended from the first William." A return was made 2d mo. 1693, of a survey made by Symon Charles and Daniel Leeds, for William Budd, for 500 acres of land with 15 acres highway allow- ance for other land, on the North branch of Rancokus river; and also for 200 acres next to Budd. William Budd was appointed a justice of the peace, June 5, 1705. Issue:

5. John3 Thomas? Thomas1 Budo m. Rebecca Sandiland, sister of James Sandiland, of Upland, who was sheriff of Philadelphia county 1706-7. In his will, dated June 1, 1710, he refers to kinsman Peter Baynton, b. 1696, J. 1723. m. his cousin Mary, dau. of John and Re- becca (Baynton) Budd .- Penn. Mag, 2: 448. (Prob. John3 Thomas2 Thomas1, mentioned above as of Burlington, Feb. 8, 1692-3.) John settled in Morris county, where his father had located extensive tracts of land. He was probably the John Budd who sold to Jacob Corson, of Staten Island, lands described by the latter in his will dated Oct. 8, 1742, as "all my messuages and lands in Hunterdon county, New Jersey, at or near the township of Reading."-N. Y. Hist. Soc. Coll., 1869, p. 120. His will, dated Sept. 6, 1749, proved May 16, 1754, names children:
j. John. He was a physician, and settled in Salem county, where he was Sheriff in 1758. In 1763, and again in 1764, being then of Salem, he advertised for sale a large new house, "just finished off in a handsome manner," near the court house, Morristown, and four other tracts of land in the vicinity .- N. J. Archives, XXIV., 188, 315, 373. He was again Sheriff of Salem county in 1764 and 1765 .- Ib., 346, 406, 517. He be- came financially embarrassed, placed his property in the hands of trustees for the benefit of his creditors, and made frequent appeals to his creditors for their support. He then removed to Long Island, New York. In 1769 he gave notice to his creditors that he feared they were not likely to get anything "if things remain in their present situation," and that he therefore pro- posed to apply to the Legislature for "a license to return and reside in the said province, five years free from arrest, to collect in the money due to me and pay my debts."-N. J. Archives, XXVI., 438. Nothing came of this. Some time after 1771 he removed to Charleston, S. C., where he d. in 1791. During the Revolution he served as Surgeon of a South Carolina Regiment of Artillery.
il. Thomas, a physician. In 1767 he was living in Hanover, Morris county, and advertised for sale a plantation at that place, of 400 or 500 acres, joining the lands of William Kelly .- N. J. Archives, XXV., 434.

JOHN BUDD.
John Budd, b. in England, came from London about 1632, and was one of the planters of New Haven Colony, in 1639. He was ap- pointed a deputy from Southold, L. I., in 1653 to the General Court, but had gone to England in the meantime. His appointment from Southoid indicates that he was already settled there. He was lieu- tenant at Southold until 1660, when he resigned, he having removed or being about to remove to Rye, Westchester county, N. Y., where he was settled in 1661. He m. Katherine -; d. 1670. By a dec- laration, dated October 15, 1669, he gave to son John his part of the mill on Blind brooke, and all lands otherwise undisposed of, and per- sonal property, in consideration whereof John was to pay his father or his mother "thirty pounds a year in good pay that is to say wheat Twenty pounds porck one Barrell pease the rest. that we may be freed from trouble." This instrument seems to have been recorded May 13, 1675, which was probably about the time of John's death. Issue:

AARON BURR.
Aaron Burr was the son of Fresident Burr, and the grandson of President Edwards. He was b. Feb. 6, 1756, in the parsonage of the old First Presbyterian church, of Newark, of which his father, Rev. Aaron Burr, was pastor, being at the same time President of the Col- lege of New Jersey, then located in Newark. The parsonage was on the west side of Broad street, a short distance north of William street. Young Burr graduated from the college, then at Princeton, in the class of 1772. In 1775 he joined the army at Cambridge, and accompanied Arnold in his expedition against Quebec. In 1779, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, he retired from military life. In 1782 he
68
BURR: BYLES: CAMPBELL
commenced the practice of law at Albany, but soon removed to New York City. From 1791 to 1797 he was a member of the Senate of the United States. He and Jefferson had each seventy-three votes for President of the United States in 1800. On the thirty-sixth ballot in the House of Representatives Jefferson was elected, and Burr be- came Vice President. On the 11th of July, 1804, he mortally wounded Alexander Hamilton in a duel. In 1807 Mr. Burr was arrested for high treason, and was tried in Richmond and acquitted. Luther Martin, of the class of 1766, a personal friend, was one of his counsel. The remainder of Mr. Burr's life was passed principally in New York in comparative obscurity and neglect. He died September 14, 1836, and was buried at Princeton, near the grave of his father.
MAJOR THOMAS LANGHORNE BYLES.
Thomas Langhorne Byles (so he wrote the last name) was doubtless a grandson of Thomas Langhorne, who settled in Bucks County, Penn., in 1684, his daughter Sarah marrying William Biles .- Penn. Mag. of Hist. and Biog., April, 1883, pp. 67-87. The Committee of Safety of Pennsyl- vania, on January 5,' 1776, appointed him one of the Captains in the four new battalions of that Province .- Penn. Col. Records, X., 447. He was taken prisoner at the capture of Fort Washington, November 16, 1776, and was exchanged March 1, 1778. In the meantime, June 8, 1777, he had been promoted to Major. After being exchanged he joined his regiment (Colonel Lambert Cadwallader's Third Pennsylvania) at Valley Forge, July 3, 1778 .- Saffcl's Records of the Revolutionary War, 310-11; 2 Penn. Archives, X., 447. A letter dated April 17, 1780, gives this account of his death: "Yesterday morning, a detachment of 200 Con- tinental troops, under the command of Major Byles, stationed at Para- mus, was suddenly attacked by a party of the enemy, consisting of 200 horse and 400 foot. The attack commenced a little after sunrise. Major Byles, besides his usual patrols, had that morning sent out two parties, each with a commissioned officer, but such Is the situation of that part of the country, intersected with roads, and inhabited chiefly by disaffected people, that all precautions failed. The sentinels, near the quarters, were the first that gave notice of the enemy's approach. He immediately made the best disposition the hurry of the movement would permit, and animated his men by his exhortations and example. The house he was in was surrounded. Some of the men began to cry for quarter; others, obeying the command of the officers, continued to fire from the windows. The enemy upbraided them for the perfidy of asking for quarter, and persisting in resistance. Major Byles de- nied, in a determined tone, that he called for quarter; but his reso- lution did not avail. A surrender took place, and, In the act, the Major received a mortal wound, with which he expired. . The enemy made their boast that, as Major Byles did not present the hilt of his sword in front when surrendering, they shot him."-2 Penn. Ar- chives, X., 445-6.
REV. COLIN CAMPBELL.
The Rev. Colin Campbell was the tenth child of Colin Campbell, of Earnhill, Scotland, where he was born, Nov. 15, 1707. As a boy he at- tended school at Aberdeen and Inverness. He was appointed by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts to the mis- sion at St. Mary's, Burlington, where he arrived May 10, 1738, and was well received by the congregation. Although at first very bitter against the Friends ("What is the effect of Quakerism now in Pennsylvania but a nursery of Jesuits," he wrote in 1742), he soon became reconciled
69
CAMPBELL
to them, and in 1763 was able to report that he had lived among his peo- ple "these twenty five years in the greatest love harmony peace & quietness studying my own business and continuing in the esteem of our Quaker Neighbours." Two years later he declared: "We of this Province live peaceably with one another; as I do myself and congre- gations with all Dissenters whatsoever." Writing December 26, 1765, he says: "I have little or nothing by way of support from my Congre- gation; and a large Family of 6 Young Children to maintain, cloath & educate." He eked out the stipend allowed him by the Venerable Society, by teaching. In 1744 he advertised that he "proposed to teach young Men the classick Authors," and offered to board two or three boys at his house. His ministrations during his twenty-eight years of service were attended by a large increase in the several congregations under his care, and he seems to have gained the esteem of the entire community. He died Saturday, August 9, 1766, at Burlington, after a short illness, and was buried in St. Mary's Church, which he had served so long and faithfully. The Rev. Dr. William Smith, of Phila- delphia, who preached the funeral sermon, said of him: "He endeav- oured to be (what you will all allow he was) a Man of strict and severe Honesty; faithful in the Discharge of every Trust, and particularly of his most sacred Trust, a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus. He was a Lover of Peace, and rather willing to bear any Tolerable Wrong than ruffle the Serenity of his own Temper." His widow survived so late as 1796 .- Hills's Church at Burlington, passim; N. J.

After the Revolution he was obliged to leave the country, and went to the Province of New Brunswick, where he settled at St. Andrews, being afterwards made Collector of Customs at that port. Subsequently he removed to Shelburne, and held the same office unere, for forty years. He represented Shelburne county in the Assembly for one term of seven years. In his later life he removed to New Edinburgh, then in Annapolis, now in Digby county, and there died in 1834, leaving a widow, two daughters and a son. It was perhaps his son, Colin Campbell, who m.
