In this war, 1771, Jan. 20, Lieut. Nathan, brother of Capt. Amos, was killed ; David, another brother, was also conspicuous in this war. In a deed, 1769, Sept. 6, of Sheriff Michayah How, of Hunterdon Co., to Baltus Pickel, for land at New Germantown, the mill of Amos Ogden is referred to. In records at Moravian Indian Mission at Wyalusing under date 1768, Nov. 11, occurs this record, "Capt. Ogden set out for Wyoming where he and his brother carry on Indian trading." It was said of Mr. Ogden "Uniting to the truest courage and untiring activity an intuitive perception of all the arts and strategems of war, he was an indefatigable leader." On Nov. 14, 1769, Caleb Swayze was appointed guardian of Justus Swayze Ogden, son of Joseph of Mor- ris Co .; probably Caleb Swayze was of Morris Co. and not Joseph Ogden. (Trenton Lib. K, 223).

OVERTON.
ISAAC OVERTON, of Southold, d. 1688 ; his mother was a sister of John Elton, a previous settler of Southold ; 1686, had four males and two females in his family. Isaac may have been the Colonel Overton referred to in a letter of Andrew Marvel to John Milton, dated 2 June, 1654, as "one of those steady Republicans whom Cromwell, unable to conciliate, was under the necessity of securing." After a previous imprisonment in the tower, he was confined during the Protector's life in the Island of Jersey, and obtained his liberty from Parliament a short time only before the restoration of Charles II. He then stood out against the restoration at Hull, 1660, but could do nothing. He was arrested in Dec., 1660, but not being a regicide, was not tried. Several places in England bear the name Overton, a common one in olden times. Isaac had children or grandchildren, perhaps : I. ISAAC, b. 1683, d. 4 Nov., 1723, m. Abigail, and had ch .: 1. NATHANIEL, m. 1732, Alethea Way ; 2. JOHN, m. 1734,

PICKLE.
Three brothers of the name of PICKLE are said to have come from Hamburg to Staten Island, then to Black Mills, near New Brunswick ; from thence they came to Hunterdon Co. The names of these brothers were said to be Baltis, Conrad and Frederick. But this is a mistake, as these are names of a later generation. If there were three brothers, their names were BALTHAZAR, FRANTZ WIL- HELM (of whom all that is known is that he signed the call to Rev. John Albert Weygand in 1749), and JOHN NICHOLAS, who was settled on Society Lands in 1735. Moreover, in the records of the marriage of Balthazar (Luth. Ch. of N. Y.), he is said to have come from the graffschaft (or county) of Hartenberg, Germany, and his wife from the same place.
BALTHALZAR PICKLE [or BICKLE], b. 1686, d. 5 Dec. 1765, at 79, m. Anna Gertrude Reiterin, 16 Aug., 1718; signed call to Weygand 1749 ; bought land in Round Valley before 1729 ; gave the name Pickle's to Cushetunk Mountain ; afterwards bought property nearer Whitehouse. He was the most wealthy and influential man among the early German Lutherans in this part of New Jersey. He built, nearly altogether at his own cost, the Central Church at New Ger- mantown ; furnished the seats for the earlier church at Rockaway (now Potterstown, near Lebanon) in 1733 ; left at his death a legacy of £1,000 to support the preaching of the gospel ; he was most prominent in every part of the early history of Lutheranism here, and seems always to have acted the part of a large-minded and honorable man. Indeed, it seems more than probable that without him the whole effort to maintain service under such exceedingly adverse circumstances, would have failed entirely. He mentions only two children in his will, viz .: Baltus and Henry ; had ch .:
I. MARIA CATHRINE, b. 15 July, 1719. bap. 2 Aug., 1719. She is prob-
