Che Clark Family.
Among the earliest settlers in Morris County was Henry Clark, who it is said was born in England, more probably Scotland, as the Clarks were nearly all of Scotch descent, about 1695, came to Suffolk county, L. I., from thence to Elizabeth, and from thence in 1724 to Morristown, when it was said to have only three houses, perhaps only three frame houses, and then set out in the wilderness and located lands about a mile above Brookside toward Mt. Free- dom. Cleared land and built a log house there. Iu the spring he returned to Long Island, married Anne -- , who was born in England in1693. She proba- bly came over on the same ship. They oc- cupied the log house in 1725, their neigh- bors were few, but they had a goodly supply of land, 563 acres more or less, and it was here that their daughter Abi- gail was born 1726. She afterwards mar- ried Nathaniel Doty, Jr., who settled on adjoining lands south. He died 1792. Aune, the second daughter, was boru here 1729, and married Samuel Cozard,
Sr., 1753, settled on lands adjoining Doty, probably now Brookside, N. J. She died about 1770. He married (2) Priscilla (Burt) Fairchild about 1785. He was born 1725, died 1811. Henry, Jr., the third child, born June 3, 1731, married (1) Massa Faugersou Jan. 23, 1759. She was born May 10, 1728, died Mar. 17, 1762. (2) Sibel Loring, Aug. 18, 1763. She died 1822. He died Jau. 10, 1797. Henry came in possession of the homestead property 1755, soon after the death of his mother. It is probable that the first Heury remarried soou after that date and removed to Shougom, N. J., where tradition relates he had chil- dren John, Daniel and Richard, who were early connected with the Rocka- way church and removed to Rockaway. Bohu became a member in 1770, elder im 1793, deacon 1809, died Nov. 24, 1813. buried at Rockaway. It is probable that the first Henry, who died 1770, and others of the family were buried at Rockaway.

Che hathaway Family.
The Hathaways were a numerous family in Morris County, having settled at Morristown and Hanover, N. J., at. an early date, and by many intermar- riages with the old families were related and connected with very many of the older settlers, many doing service in the Revolution. This sketch will be con- fined to the lines resident and connected with the Rockaway church and buried in the Cemetery.

Sept. 25, 1779.
Dr. Jonathan married as his second wife Sally, widow of Moses Cooper. She was a Clifton. They had oue son Jona- than, who occupied the Hathaway homestead until about 1870.
The healing powers of Dr. Jonathan Hathaway's salves, ointments and other medicines became known far and wide. ===
Those who had been afflicted for many years applied to him for relief, and re- turned to their homes almost miraculous- ly cured. We knew one of his patients, Daniel Holly, who lived at Stockholm. He had boasted that he had never known a sick day in his life, but in his later years au ulceration afflicted the sole of his foot, and not having the patience of Job to endure the pain, he applied to Dr. Hathaway for relief, a distance of about thirty miles. The doctor exam- ined the foot, but shook his head doubt- fully, it was a case beyond his skill, but finally told him that if he was willing, and thought that it would be more com- fortable on the top of his foot, he could change the position. Holly thinking that it would be a relief to have the af- fliction anywhere from where it was, consented to have the remedies applied. In a few weeks the result was accom- plished, but it became so much more painful there, that he returned and con- sulted Dr. Hathaway to have its loca- tion changed to where it was, the change was made, and Holly bore the affliction, a patient sufferer until the day of his death.
If ever a doctor or a dentist, for he
was both, delighted in the pulling of teeth for a, small consideration it wa- Dr. Hathaway. In this line he becan. famous, the suffering humanity who be came nearly distracted by a troublesome molar, would travel miles in the dead hour of night for relief, but as usual, as when teeth are going to be extracted in these days, the sight of the dentist with turnkeys and forceps, the achings would suddenly cease out of nervous sympathy, and the patient not having the courage to endure the pain of extraction, would return home when the trouble returned. and the second journey was made with more favorable results.
The doctor and dentist inherited a goodly number of dollars and a small farm, and was a liberal benefactor tothe end. When he was about to balance up his accounts with this world, he willed that his posterity should pay " his dear, beloved wife Sally" an annual income of $500 as long as she lived. So long as the visible means were in sight this an- muity was strictly complied with, but his posterity died in rather reduced cir- cumstances as his wife Sally, went West to grow up with the country and lived to be over a hundred years old.
The old Hathaway mansion is now very much dilapidated. The clearings made over one hundred and fifty years ago are battling against the supremacy of weeds, briars, brush and timber. The property after three generations of Joua. than Hathaway's changed owners years ago, and but few now know, or have ever heard of its original owners, who formed a part of this ancient history.

Che Lyon Family.
The family of Lyon is of great antiq- ty in Scotland. The ancestor of the family, John de Lyon, came over with William I. He or one of his immediate ancestors settled in Perthshire, in the district still called Glenlyon. Sir John Lyon, son of John de Lyon, " a young man of very good parts and qualities, and a very graceful and comely person, and a great favorite of the king (Rob- ert II,) was Lord High Chamberlain of Scotland. The Princess Jean, the king's daughter, being in love with the fair- favored young man, he received her hand in marriage, and with it the lands of Glamis, 1372." Until that time Glamis was a royal residence of a line that dates back to Keuneth I, 850 A. D. This castle was the scene of Macbeth's crime. The murder of Malcolm II, at Glamis is narrated as an authentic event by the old chroniclers.
Colonial records place William, of Rox- bury, (landed 1635, aged 14, ship Hope- well; as the earliest of the "old comers."" The American Antiquity, shows this
William Lyon as descended from Sir Adam Lyon, knight, first son of John de Lyon, the Fendal Baron, the French family of Leonne, originated from Leones, a partrician family of Rome.
The latters's third son, Sir John Lyon. Baron of Fortevoit, was the ancestor of the Earls, of Strathmore. Gen. Nathan- iel Lyon (Civil War) claimed direct de. scent Sir Thomas Lyon, of Auldbar. Forfarshire, designated master of Glamis, brother of John, the Eight! Lord Glamis, one of the principal- in the seizure of James VI, at the raid of Ruthern 1582, and after his return, he with the Earls of Angus and Mar, seized Sterling Castle. Again he fled, but iu 1585 was restored to royal favor.
It is further stated that Sir John Lyon had two sons, the first, Earl of Strath. more, the second, Earl of Kingham. Another John Lyon was colonel of the Scottish Gnards in the service of Henry IV of France. William Lyon, son of the above John Lyon, having been do.

nounced as a heretic at the time of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, Ang. 24, 1572, escaped to Holland where he re- ceived protection and ultimately came with his three children to New England. This would indicate that William of Roxbury was not the first of the Lyon family, of Glenlyon, to seek a home in America.
William, of Roxbury, was a member of the Artillery 1645, free man 1666, died 1692. John Lyon, of Salem, 1635 lived there until 1648. John Lyne, of New Haven, signed covenant 1639. Thomas Lyon settled on Byram river 1640. Henry Lyon was at Milford 1646, John Lyon was at Marblehead 1648. Richard Lyon was at Fairfield 1649. Peter Lyon was at Dorcester 1649.
These men were doubtless clansmen if not near relatives, and were among those who fled from the mother country for religious, political or civil reasons, traitors in their old home, but patriots in their wilderness refuge, aud doubt- less they were the founders of the Lyon family in the United States, a vast ag- gregate of people widely separated by time and circumstances, but many of them holding iu common the tradition of Gleulyon origin and ancestry.
Although descendants of Robert the Bruce, founder of the House of Stuart, the colonial Lyons were king-haters, es- pecially Stuart-haters. Like the master of Glamis, Sir Thomas Lyon, a number of the Lyons were naturally partakers of treason through fierce and fanatical
"Puritans" under the persecution, were in sympathy with the Roundhead move- mout and active adherents of Crom- well.
.. Tradition says that Richard Lyon, who appeared at Fairfield 1649 after the de- capitation of Charles I, was on guard with his two brothers at the scaffold the day of the execution and witnessed the regicide. Daunted by the enormity of this political crime the three secretly took ship for America and lauded at Bioston, Mass. Here they separated ; Richard journeying to Connecticut to settle there.
This Richard is the ancestor of the New Jersey Lyons, of the Henry Lyou, of Milford and Newark. He was of Fairfield 1649, and his house and home lot of two acres, is recorded Jan. 1653. He was made free man 1665. His will dated 1678, mentions wife Margaret, and children Moses, Richard, William, Samuel, Joseph, Hester, wife of Nathan- iel Perry, Bettie, Hannah aud Abigail. Henry Lyon, the oldest son of Richard, was brother-in-law to Joseph Middle- brook and of Thomns Bateman. The will of William Bateman 1656, gave £5 to grandchild Joseph Middlebrook, Que- half of his estate to son Thomas and one. half to son-in-law Henry Lyon.
Children : Moses, son of Richard, mar- ried Mary died before 1696. Richard had Samuel. Ebenezer aud Sarah baptized Apr. 5, 1696; Daniel, Oct. 3, 1697; Natban, Feb. 13, 1703; Jonathan, June 1, 1708, (Fairfield Par- convictions that demanded personal lib- ish Records). William had Nathaniel erty and condemned kingcraft. These baptized Sept. 9, 1694; Eunice, Sept.

Samuel had wife Susanna and children : John, James and Margaret baptized Mar. 12, 1704; Abi- gail, May 12, 1706 ; Ephriam, Sept. 27, 1708; Anne, Aug. 6, 1710; Jeremiah, Apr. 1, 1713. Joseph had wife Abigail, children : Joseph, baptized July 28, 1625; Dayid, June 27, 1697.

The general outlook at this time, New Jersey under the charter granted to Berkeley aud Carteret, promised greater freedom in civil and religious affairs than could be hoped for with the exist- ing conditions of Connecticut, and they severed home ties for still another pio- beer beginning, known only by hear- say. .
Staunch they were in all things, stern- ly zealous in church matters, aud stern- ly opposed to monarchial interference. The spirit of independence that animat- ed the Puritan fathers was transmitted to their descendants, an aversion to the domination of kings that reached a cli- max in the Essex Riots 1745, which was the first overt act of resistance to the authority of Great Britain, making the men of New Jersey Plantations the earliest aggressors in the cause of civil liberty.
Henry Lyon of the Milford colony was one of the fonuders of Newark, N. J., first called Milford, received home lot number 8, held several public offices and is cited as having been at Elizabeth, N. J., with son Thomas in 1673, where
he purchased among other lands 150 acres of upland by the lyne of Elizabeth- port, which has since been called Lyo !.- Farms.
Henry Lyon, of Milford, the Passair pilgrim, in 1652 was married at Fair- . field church to Mary, daughter of Will- iam Bateman. His will, dated 170? in Newark, names wife Mary, and chil- diren : Samuel, Joseph, Benjamin, Ebr - nezer, Thomas, deceased ; John, d! .. ceased ; Nathaniel, deceased. ; Dorcas and Mary.
