mame Polly and Mary seems to have been two distinct names.
At this date, for want of the old rec- ords, we have accepted old traditions, as it would be impossible to trace the origi- mal Cole family, with all their inter- zmarriages with the early settlers, the hardy pioneers, of Morris County. Their descendants have been numerous, and scattered through the early settle- ments, and have been well represented

Che Farber Family.
In the early days of Morris County the name Farber occasionally occurs. The name is spelled in many ways. Tradition has it that they were a German people and first settled near Morristown, N. J., probably between Mendham and Morristown. Paul. Farber and wife Mary were early members of the Pres- byterian Church at Morristown, and the records have Amos, baptized Oct. 30, 1763; Paul, baptized Apr. 21, 1765; Anne, baptized Ang. 13, 1768; a child died July 14, 1769; Hannah, was born Nov. 17, 1770, baptized June 30, 1771 ; Elizabeth, born Mar. 16, baptized June 23, 1775 ; a child died Aug. 9, 1777.
A Mrs. Farber, probable mother of Paul, died Feb. 1776, at the age of 104 years. They probably moved away soon after 1777. The Rockaway records have early dates of the family. Pani Farber, Jr., settled near Stockholm in 1785 froux Rockaway, N. J. ; he died Mar. 1848, and is buried at the old "Lyons"burial ground hear Stockholm, N. J. His wife was Elizabeth Rude, a sister of Caleb Rude,
who removed from Morris County to noar Hamburg, in Sussex County, at an early date. She died 1842 aged 81 years.
Hannah Farber born Nov. 17, 1720, married Thomas Harrison, who located at Canisteer, N. J., then called Win- chester, in 1764. They had children : William, Joel and Mary, who married Feb. 1827, Isaac VanGelder, who attend- ed lock near Dover, N. J., many years ago, and they had perhaps other chil- dren.
Joel Harrison lived near Stockholm, N. J., married Almeda, danghter of Leonard Cole, who was born Feb. 12. 1798, and had children : John, born 1820, married Garrison, of West Milford, N. J. ; Thomas, born 1822, married Cary, of West Milford; Elizabeth, never mar- ried ; Harriet, married Anthony Bran- nin, of Mt. Hope, N. J. ; Abraham, mar- ried Elizabeth Henderson, of Canisteer. N.

lands, as the old deeds show, in Ver- non and Hardiston townships, Sussex county, N. J., and was connected with. many business enterprises. Children of Paul and Elizabeth (Rude) Farber : Anna married Nicholas Ryerson, of Ver- non, N. J .; Elizabeth married Peter Ryerson of the same place ; Paul, boru 1793, married Lucy, some records have Lucinda, daughter of Abraham A. Strait, of Canisteer, N. J. ; Caleb mar- ried Elizabeth LaRoe, of New Found -!
land, N. J. ; Israel, born 1800, married Abigail Rickey, of Vernon, died Dec. 25, 1872 ; Abigail married Samuel Givens, of Vernon. Caleb and Israel lived in the old Farber neigh borhood, near Ver- mon, and have many descendants in Sussex county. Paul, who married Lucy Strait, headed a party of about thirty families from Sussex county and settled in Franklin county, Ohio, 1835, and these families are now scattered through many of the Western States.

Che Goble Family.
The traditions of the Goble family were that they were French Hugenots who fled to prevent religious persecu- tions and settled in North Carolina, and that their names originally were Enoch. . Abner, Silas, Aaron and Martha. A large number of the descendants, proba- bly not all of one family, settled in Mor- ris county, N. J., previons to 1150. John, married Elizabeth Burwell, Dec. 22, 1748, and is mentioned in the early Rockaway records. Simeon, a probable son of Enoch, as the name of Enoch raus in the family line, married Abigail Conger Feb. 23, 1749), he died about 1775, and had children : Enoch, Abner, Sally, Martha, Luther and Calvin, perhaps others. His wife married (2) Ebenezer Stiles, May 4, 1778, as second wife, lived at Morris Plains, N. J. She was born. 1732, died Dec. 7, 1810. William Goble married Sarah Conger Mar. 21, 1760. Benjamin Goble married Elizabeth Couger March 3, 1757. Henry Goble married Lydia Conger Dec. 11, 1765. Robert Goble, born 1700, died Mar. 20,
1783. His wife, Mars, born 1701, died Feb. 20, 1786. Aaron Goble born 1752, married Charity Lindsley Jan. 30, 1772, died Feb. 1, 1802. His wife born 1751 died June 4, 1795. Daniel Goble mar- ried Priscilla Cook Apr. 1, 1744. Jonas Goble married Ruth Fairchild Dec. 10, 1765. Ruth Goble married Nathan Reeve Feb. 18, 1768. Rachel Goble married Isaac Southard Apr. 12, 1769. Hannah Goble married Ichabod Tomp- kins Dec. 24, 1746. Salome married Ebenezer Fairchild Aug. 1750. Sally married Josephus Gard June 23, 1793.
Of the children of Benjamin and Ex- perience Conger, Simeon married Abi- gail Goble and Benjamin married Eliza- both Goble. This is a most singular oc- currence that two brothers of the same name in one family should marry sis- ters of the same name in another family.
Enoch, the probable son of Simeon, married (1) Abigail (Ogden) Stiles. daughter of David Ogden, and widow of Thomas Stiles. She dietl soon after marriage. (2) Mary Cooper, who was

Tradition relat 4 that she was a sister of Mary Sinicos, wife of Capt. William Alger, of Rock :- way. Deacon John and wife Alice wei- buried at Morristown Baptist Cemetery. and removed to the Hill Cemetery at Franklin. N. J.
I am indebted to the late Benjamin Goble, who made a visit in July 1895, but a few weeks before his death, for many of the connections and dates of this family and also of the Tompkit- family so nearly related. "Uncle" Ben, as every one in this section called him, was then in his 93rd year and then bid fair to reach the century mark. In the early days whole communities were so nearly related by the intermarriages that all were "Uncle," "Auut" and "Cousins." Very many of the Goble family were connected with the Baptist church at Morristown, N. J., and buried there, and a few are on the early records of the Rockaway church, and are proba.

Che huntington Family.
The Huntington family came from Norwich, Eng. Simon, his wife Mar- garet (Berret) formally a French Huge- not, and their three sons, Christopher, Simon (2) and Thomas. On the voy- age he was taken ill with fever and dysentery, one authority says smallpox, and died while in sight of land near the mouth of the Connecticut river, was buried at Saybrook, Ct., 1633. He was born 1583. He had a brother Samnel in England who was captain in the King's Life Guard.
His wife became a member of the Rev. John Elliot's church at Roxbury, Mass., where she probably married as the third wife of Thomas Stoughton, of Winsor, who came from Dorcester, Eng., on the same ship with Simon Huntington. The sons settled at Saybrook, Ct. Chris- topher and Simon went afterward to Norwich, Ot., and Thomas to Winsor, Ct., and from thence to Branford, Ct., and with the Branford Colony in May 1666, to Newark, N. J.
William Swaine, of Whethersfield, Ct. (2) Hannah, daughter of Jasper Crane, merchant, who moved from New Haven, Ct., to Banford, Ct., 1652, and came with the Banford Colony to Newark in 1666. Thomas was born in England about 1626, died at Newark 1687. Han- nah, his widow, married (2) John Ward- sen as second wife.
Thomas and Hannah (Crane) had chil- dren : Samuel and Hannah. Samuel was born 1667 died 1708. The will dated Nov. 11, 1704, names children, Thomas, who had wife Susanna ; Simon born 1686 had wife Thankful, died in Morris conn- ty, perhaps at Whippany, July 17, 1770, and' Hannah.

Jan. 18, 1758, lived at Ninkey, N. J., removed to Ohio in 1787. Capt. Ger- shom Gard was one of the seven sons who served in the Revolution. Eliza- beth married Thomas, son of Timothy Pierson, Dec. 10. 1760. He was born 1737, died May 16, 1782, both probably buried at Rockaway. Sarah married Winter ; Simon married Sybe; John married Elizabeth Heady, of Morris- town, N. J., by Rev. Timothy Johnes, June 16, 1750. He was resident at Mor- ristown, and member of the Presbyteri- church to 1758, when he became a resid- dent and manager of the iron works at Shongum, and was prominent as a mem- ber, officer and subscriber to the Rocka- way church, holding at this early date pew . number one. Deacon John was quartermaster under Gen. William Winds.
Children of John and Elizabeth (Heady) Huntington. Synon, baptized July 29, 1759 ; Gillard, baptized Feb. 21, 1760, both become members of the Rock- away church in 1793. John was born at Shongum, Nov. 2, 1779, and baptized there Oct. 21, 1782. Abraham, of Shou- gum, married Sarah Losey, May 10, 1796. Deacon John Huntington died about .1782 or 3 as no records of the church show, his children remained at Shongum until about 1800. He was more than probably buried at Rocka- way, this being at the time of "Dark Ages" for church records, no mention is made at Rockaway or at Morristown. . As none of the name was among the list
of communicants Oct. 11, 1808, it is probable the families removed not later than 1800.
Soon after the Revolution many of the old families of this section sought the more fertile lands of the West, Western New York, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, and not a few to Vermont, and with them the old Bibles that con- tained the records of the old families.
This sketch may seem insignificant to the general reader, but researches have been made from the New Englald Gene- alogical Records, Savage's Genealogies, The Huntington Family, Conger's New. Y ark Families, State and County records, Church records of Rockaway and Mor- ristowu, and all these fail to show many of the minor details that would make it more of interest.
The names Simon and Samuel are prominent in the family connections. Samuel Huntington, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was son of Nathaniel, the farmer, the son of Deacon Joseph, the son of Deacon Simon, of Saybrook, Conn., the son of Simou who died on the voyage from England. Samuel Huntington, son of Rev. Joseph, was governor of Ohio in 1808-10. He died July 8, 1817. Gen. Jedediah Hunt- ington, graduate of Harvard 1763. of Yale 1770, the son of Thomas, the son of Christopher, the son of Simon the first, was aid-de-camp to Gen. Washing. ton. He was born at Norwich, Conn., Aug. 15, 1743, died at New London, Conn., Sept. 18, 181S.

Che Lee Family.
In writing of this historic family so nearly related to many of our Morris County families in Revolutionary times, and in the research so much valuable in- formation has been learned that it will be more extended than many others. The recent collections of Miss Sidney Lyon and Gen. Albert Lee, (Civil War) and from many other sources I am en- abled to connect the relationship for many generations. I shall be pleased to learn any additional information or cor- rection, from the readers of this sketch.
Acre, June 8 to July 12, 1191, that he was rewarded with large estates and made Earl of Litchfield.
Tradition relates that John Lee, of Lee Hall, Nottingham, Eng., the third Earl of Litchfield, had one son Robert. Robert Lee had son William, who on ac- connt of religious persecution fled to the colonies aud settled at Hempstead, L. I., 1675. He married Mary Marvin, whose mother's maiden name was Mary Brown, and died at Hempstead 1724. Of Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Les, we have no records.
The founder of this family was Lance- lot de Lee, who came over with William In 1683 the Governor of New York re- quired the town of Hempstead to take cat a new patent, and 212 pence per acre was levied on all lands held by in- dividuals in the town which numbered 160, number of acres 16,563. William Lee was assessed with 40 acres. the Conqueror in the Norman conquest to England.
