The following accounts of the removal to Florida and Mississippi of a number of the early settlers of Roxbury are from a letter of Dr C. F. Farrar, of Kingston, Miss., written 28 Sept., 1891 ; and also from the work entitled Mississippi as a Province, Territory and State, by J. F. H. Claiborne.
Capt. Amos Ogden having been wounded in battle retired from active service and settled in New Jersey. He received a grant from the King in 1767, May 13, of 25,000 acres of land in West Florida. This grant was given in return for a favor conferred upon Charles the First by an ancestor of Capt. Amos. The favor con- sisted in hiding the King in the hollow of a tree, when closely pursued by his enemies. Capt. Amos proceeded to Florida to have the mandamus recorded and was lost at sea on his return voyage. His son Capt. Amos (sic) being away from home at the time, found the grant afterwards among his father's papers and sold 19,000 acres at 20 cts. an acre or £900 proc. for the whole, to Samuel and Richard Swazy, April, 1772. Soon after the Swazeys went to Florida to locate the land with Caleb and Joseph (Justus {) King as surveyors. On their return Capt. Ogden died in New York, Oct .. 1772. Joseph King returned to New Jersey and never went back to Florida, but his two sons George and Charles afterwards went to Florida and after a long suit at law recovered their father's share.
As far back as 1768 the King had issued an order, or mandamus, to the Gover- nor of West Florida to have surveyed and allotted to Amos Ogden, of New Jersey, a retired naval (?) officer, 25,000 acres in one single tract. In 1772, Capt. Ogden sold 19,000 acres of his claim to Richard and Samuel Swayze, of New Jersey, at the rate of twenty cents per acre. They made a reconnoisance of the district, and located the claim on the Homochitto river, in the present county of Adams. In the fall of the same year the two enterprising brothers, with their families and a num- ber of their kindred and friends, sailed from Perth Amboy for Pensacola : thence, by the usual lake route, to Manchac ; up the Mississippi, and then up the Homo- chitto to what is now known as Kingston. Samuel Swayze had been for a number of years a Congregational minister, and most of the adults who came with him were communicants. The faithful shepard, as soon as he had provided a shelter for his wife and children, and planted corn for their bread, gathered up his fold and organized his society, undoubtedly the first Protestant pastor and congrega- tion in the Natchez district. Under many drawbacks, growing out of Indian depredations, and discouragements after the country passed into Spanish hands, this pious teacher and his kindred met together on the Sabbath, often in the swamp and cane-brakes, for divine service. In 1780 the Indians became so troublesome and exacting that most of the settlers abandoned their homes and moved to the vicinity of Natchez. The venerable pastor settled on the east bank of St. Cath- arine, on what was long afterwards known as "Swayze's old field," on the left of

the road from Washington to Natchez, and there he died in 1784. The Jersey set- tlement, begun in 1772, by men of intelligence, energy and high moral character, became prosperous and rich ; densely populated ; highly cultivated ; distinguished for its churches and schools ; its hospitality and refinement. And, in the course of years, it sent its thrifty colonies into many counties, carrying with them the char- acteristics of the parent hive. The Farrars, Kings, Corys, Montgomerys, Pipes, Foules, Colemans, Jones, Callenders, Fowlers, Luses, Griffings, Hopkins, Nobles, Ashfords, and many others in Mississippi and Louisiana, are descended, in one branch or the other, from the brothers Swayze.
