VanGilder, Jr. From him it was inherited by Robert MI ckel, and passed through the ownership of Cornelius Corson to Levi Corson, who lived there until his death in about 1863, and after him, Edwards Corson resided on the property, which was purchased by Rev. James Vansant in 1882, and he lived there until his death in 1898, when the property passed to his son, J. Alpheus Vansant, who sold it to James Ingersoll in 1908.
The first record we have found of the property owned by Azelio Reginio dates back to 1773, when it was deeled by David VanGilder to Jeremiah VanGilder. In 1809 it was purchased by Joseph Wheaton, who in 1816 sold it to Somers Corson: in 1822 he sold it to Aaron Corson, who in 1831 sold to Warren VanGilder, and he in 1833 to Reuben Corson, who later sold to Marcellus Forbes, a shoemaker by occupation, who came from Maryland. He in 1856 sold the property to James Hess, who repaired it and built an addition to it. He sold to Jerome Tatem, who traded the property with Jeremiah Wilson, of Philadelphia. The property was purchased by William Matthews at a tax sale, and not being re- deemed, was sold by him to Anelio Reginio, the present owner.
The property known as the Madara place was part of the purchase of Joseph Corson from the West Jersey Society in 1774, which he conveyed to Abraham Van- Gilder in 1745, who sold it to Samuel Townsend in '1771, of whose heirs it was purchased by Constantine Corson in 1801. He in 1802 sold the property to Wil- liam Miller, who sold it to James Smith, and he to John F. Westcott, of whom it was purchased by Charles Madara, whose heirs sold it to Charles F. (askill.

The house adjoing the Red Men's Hall, occupied by Italians, was built by Thaddeus VanGilder, on the site ' of a house which was owned by Mrs. Kinsey, who sold the property to Thomas Ross. Thaddeus VanGilder purchased the property of Mr. Ross and sold the house, which was moved to Seaville.
