Adjutant-General of New Jersey, one may find on the roll from the County of Gloucester, Benjamin Clark. Joseph Clark. Reuben Clark. Adriel Clark. David Clark, Parker Clark. Thomas Clark, and John Clark, and on page 358 of said record you will find this note:
Elijah Clark. Lieutenant Colonel Second Battalion Gloucester. resigned November 6. 1777, to become a member of Assembly.
Thus nine descendants of the early settler. Thomas Clark, fought to establish the inde- pendence of this country. The graves of four are to the writer unknown. Five lie buried beneath the sod of the Clark's Mill burying ground. Port Republic.
Not only were the Clarks prominent as soldiers of the Revolution, but they were

leading members of the community in which they resided. Many of them were identified with the early Christian work in this county. The old Clark's Mill Meeting House, which stood on the outskirts of what is now Port Republic, was established with their aid, and the Clark's Mill burying ground was one of the first church burying grounds of this county.
COLLINS FAMILY.
The founder of the Collins family in this country was one Richard Collins, M. D., the first resident physician in Gloucester County, as it was called at that time. He came as early as 1765 to the new world, from Ireland, where he was born, May 1, 1725. A large tract of land in Galloway township was purchased by him and improved, and has since been known as Collins Mills. It is located about one mile west of Smithville, in this county. Dr. Collins was married previous to his coming to America, his one child by the first marriage being Elizabeth, who married, first, John Holmes, and, second, Christopher Ludlam, both of Cape May County. Dr. Richard afterward married Sarah Griffith, of Pennsylvania, who bore him five children. Here in the wilderness Dr. Collins toiled, reared and educated his family while ministering to the physical needs of the people over a large tract of country, embracing what is now Atlantic County, and parts of surrounding counties. Physically Dr. Collins was a giant, and even though great age came upon him, his form was ever erect and active. He was a man of great intellectual as well as moral force and of positive character; so much so indeed as to incline to eccentricity, in the opin- ions of his neighbors. Living, as he did, in the midst of Quakers, he adopted their mode of dress and speech, though he was a Roman Catholic when he arrived in America. Letters in the possession of some of his descendants prove, however, that the Doctor died in the Methodist faith. In a letter he wrote, "I have reared one son a Methodist, one a Quaker, and one a Universalist, but one of these days I'll take a short cut and beat them all to heaven."
Not long before the Doctor's death he invited home all his accessible children and their families. Andrew Scull, Sr., a grand-child, then aged 10 years, said of him: "That he had provided immense quantities of bread and honey for the children, and he remem- bers him alternately laughing to see them make way with it and weeping because he prob- ably should see their faces no more. Dr. Collins died in 1808, and was buried on his farm at Collins' Mills, where his tomb and those of his wife and some of his children may yet be seen.
The children of Richard Collins and Sarah Griffiths were: 2. Matthew, b. May 7, 1764: d. September 29, 1851: m. (1) Judith Smith; (2) Sylvia Endicott Smith.
3. John, b. November 1, 1769: d. August 22, 1845: m. Sarah Blackman, November, 1793.

A daughter, who died in infancy.
2. Matthew Collins, b. May 7. 1764: d. September 29, 1851, was a celebrated surveyor in New Jersey. He was collector of customs for the District of Great Egg Harbor from 1807 to 1809. He married, first, Judith Smith and had the following children: 6. Elizabeth, m. Richard Ireland. 7. Sophia, m. Joseph Endicott. 8. Alice (or Elsie), m. Benjamin Smith. 9. Mary, m. Jesse Clark. 10.

3. John Collins, b. November 1. 1769, was the second son of the pioneer. Dr. Richard Collins, and may be rightly claimed as one of the founders of Methodism in America. Converted at Smithville, this county, in 1794. he was soon licensed as a local preacher and travelled extensively through a large part of West Jersey. His wife was Sarah Blackman. daughter of David Blackman, of English Creek. She was a most loyal and efficient help- meet in his Christian labors. In 1803 he removed to Ohio with his family, and took up an extensive tract of land in Clermont County.
. Mr. Collins preached the first Methodist sermon in Cincinnati in 1804 and joined the travelling connection in 1807. He established the first society in Dayton, 1808. and was made Presiding Elder in 1819. It is said by various historians of the church that the Meth- odists had not in its early days a more successful preacher than Mr. Collins. The follow- ing is a description of him, given by an eye-witness:
"The occasion was a quarterly meeting in Ohio. The meeting was opened by a young man who, I was informed, had been recently initiated into the ministry. He was followed by an old man dressed in linsey woolsey. He was tall and thin; his head was whitened by the frost of years; his countenance was one that men love to look upon; there was nothing remarkable or peculiar in his features: his forehead was high and a little projecting: his eyes small and sunken; his nose thin and a little aquiline, and chin rather long. But he had an expression of countenance that is not easily forgotten. As he arose every eye was riveted on him, and such was the silence of the large assembly that the softest whisper might have been heard. I felt that I was in the presence of no ordinary man. He read the parable of the "Prodigal Son." and so preached and illustrated the text that the whole assembly burst into an involuntary gush of tears, such were his oratorical powers."
After being in the west for a short time, Rev. Mr. Collins became worried over the spiritual welfare of his father, the old Doctor, who had tried the Quaker religion after renouncing Catholicism, so he returned to the old homestead at Collins' Mills on a religious mission. Some days after his return his father said to him: "John, we are all glad to see thee. but I don't like thy religion." This was unexpected and greatly depressed John. After some reflection he resolved to spend the whole of the ensuing night in prayer for his father.
Accordingly, at nightfall, after supper, he retired to the barn, that he might not be

interrupted. Here he engaged in fervent prayer until near 10 o'clock. Some one knocked at the barn door, but he made no answer. In a short time another messenger came and opening the door discovered him. This messenger was his sister, who had experienced religion and who informed him that he had been sought for in his room, at his brother's, near by, and at other places, and that he was supposed to be in the barn. She told him their father was suffering the greatest mental agony and wished to see him. With joyful heart Mr. Collins hurried to the room of his father and, embracing him, wept and prayed with him. The struggle continued until near daylight, when deliverance came. His father was filled with peace and joy and triumph." Life of John Collins. This briefly is a part of the life of this great man who, his contemporaries claim, was the greatest apostle of Meth- odism through the Northwestern Territory. A sketch of his life was published by the Western Book Concern in 1849: to this the writer is indebted, and also to Mrs. Anna Collins Fleming, who is the possessor of many of the letters and private papers of John Collins.
He died in 1845, at the age of 76. A marble shaft marks his resting place in the little churchyard at Bethel, near the road to Ripley, Ohio. The children of John Collins and Sarah Blackman were four daughters and three sons, David, Wesley and Richard.

36. Daniel Lake Collins, b. July 17. 1808. at Collins Mill, near Smithville, Atlantic County, N. J., was bound out to his mother's brother. Daniel Lake, when four years of age. He received his early instruction under said Daniel Lake, who was a Quaker and surveyor. living in Smith's Landing, on the shore road, on land now owned by John B. Smith. Daniel Lake Collins learned surveying, and when he became of age received $1.600 as his share of his father's estate (4. Levi Collins). Soon after he took a nine months' trip through the west with Mark Lake. Upon his return he was married and lived on the Ingersoll place. His marriage took place November 30. 1831, to Mary Ann Ingersoll, daughter of Isaac Ingersoll, and Millicent Steelman, who after Isaac's death married Jere- miah Leeds. He bought the Collin's homestead, which extended originally along shore road from Wood lane (Tilton road) to the county farm, and contained about 108 acres. Daniel was a very well read and thoughtful man, contemporaries saying of him that his was one of the greatest brains this county had ever produced. In form he was large and powerful and had great endurance, part of which he attributed to abstemious habits and the cold water treatment to which he was an adherent. Also learned the trade of plasterer (mason) in Philadelphia, and cobbler. having done the family mending. His property was afterward increased by the purchase of one-third of the Daniel Lake farm, and from this purchase he followed farming and oyster planting, making considerable money in the latter business. About 1850 he began investing his earnings in beach property, owning at different times with Col. Daniel Morris, Joseph Ireland. etc., large tracts on the now famous Absecon Beach. About ten years before his death he lived a retired life. Died November 5. 1887. and was buried by his own request in the family burying ground on the old Dr. Richard Collins farm, near Smithville. His children were:

53. Isaac Collins was born August 7. 1832, on the Ingersoll place, south side shore road. near the residence of John Collins, Pleasantville. He received an ordinary school education at Salem school (Smith's Landing), and worked on the farm until 21 years of age, when he received from his father one acre, where his present residence now is.

ried November 23, 1854, Catherine Golden, of Philadelphia, and built his present home 1855. His occupation was farming and oyster planting, delivering the products to Atlantic City, when the business was first started by boats and still continuing. He is a successful large asparagus and strawberry grower, having a system of irrigation in operation during strawberry season to overcome the usual drought. In 1881 was influenced by the united parties of Independents, Democrats and Prohibitionists, to accept the nomination for Sheriff. The fight was warm and well contested, he being successful by a majority of about 300 over his opponent, Simon L. Westcott. His Deputy as Sheriff was Jos. A. Peck. In 1882 Isaac was nominated for State Senator, but defeated by 300 votes by John J. Gardner. His life has been influential and exemplary, and retired from active political life, he repre- sents a sterling type of Atlantic County's country-gentleman. He married Mrs. Almira Garwood, June 13. 1885, some years after the death of Catherine Golden.
