partners agreed to divide the remaining lots. Colonel Lowrey and Mr. Eddy gave half an acre for a Baptist church lot. Colonel Lowrey removed to Philadel- phia, probably between 1782 and 1785. In 1775, he was elected a member of the Provincial Congress from Hunterdon County, New Jersey, and in 1791 and 1792 a member of the Legislative Assembly from Hunterdon County. On June 18, 1776, he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel in Colonel David Chambers' Third Regiment of Militia of the State Troops, belonging to the brigade of Major- General Dickinson. He was promoted to the rank of colonel, but was never in active service. In 1791-1803, he served as United States Marshal for the District of New Jersey. It is thought that he was the first to hold the office in the State, for he enjoyed the confidence and friendship of President Washington, who had been a guest at his house in Flemington during the Revolution. In 1798 Colonel Lowrey purchased the Burnt Mills property of three hundred thirty-three acres, on and near the present site of Milford, and built a frame gristmill by the river. The locality was for a short time called Lowrey town, but about 1803-04, became known as Milford. Colonel Lowrey sold several lots in Trenton to his son-in-law, Aaron Dickinson Woodruff, for $2,000, in 1800. He was a stockholder in the Bank of North America. On November 10, 1806, Colonel Lowrey's active and useful life ended at the age of seventy-two years and seven months, at Milford, New Jersey, and he was buried in the cemetery of the Presbyterian Church of Kingwood, formerly called the Old Stone. Colonel Thomas Lowrey married Esther Fleming. (Fleming II.) Among their children was Grace, of whom further.

(II) GRACE LOWREY, daughter of Colonel Thomas and Esther (Fleming) Lowrey, was born February 28, 1766, and died at Trenton, New Jersey, June 23, 1815. She married Aaron Dickinson Woodruff, of Trenton. (Woodruff VI.)

The Scottish family of Johnstone originated from the estate of Johnstone in County Dumfries, with Hugo de Johnstone proprietor of large estates in East Lothian in the reign of Alexander II, King of Scotland ( 1214-49). He had a son, Sir John de Johnstone, who made a donation of lands to the monastery of Soltra in 1285. John de Johnstone, son of Sir John de Johnstone, was witness to a charter of lands in Annandale granted by Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, before I332.
(B. Burke: "Genealogical History of Dormant, Obeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peer- ages of the British Empire," p. 300.)
(I) JOHN JOHNSTON, of Annandale, Scotland, emigrated to England in 1603, in the suite of James VI of Scotland, who then succeeded to the throne as James I of England. John Johnston settled in Wiltshire and acquired considerable prop- erty. His children included William, of whom further.

(II) WILLIAM JOHNSTON, son of John Johnston, of Annandale, died in March, 1663. He purchased of the Earl of Westmoreland, in April, 1662, Bow- den Park, Wiltshire, which had been a part of the property of Lacock Nunnery. His portrait, painted by Lely, descended to the Rev. Edward Frederick Johnson, rector of Hinton Blewett about 1820. William Johnston married Elizabeth (Hyde) Low. (Hyde XIV.) They had a son :
1. George, of whom further.

(III) GEORGE JOHNSON, eldest son of William and Elizabeth (Hyde-Low) Johnston, seems to have been the first to drop the t from his name. He was born in Lacock Parish, Wiltshire, about 1620, and died May 28, 1683, and was buried in the St. Cyriack, Lacock. With his father he purchased, in Wiltshire, the estate known as Bowden Park, which came into his possession on the death of his father in 1663. He was called to the bar November 24, 1654, and became a bencher of the Middle Temple on October 28, 1670. On July 3, 1677, he became a sergeant- at-law, and on August 15, 1677, he was granted by Charles II the reversion of the office of Master of Rolls in succession to Sir Harbottle Grimston, but died two years before the death of Grimston. In 1681 he was a Member of Parliament for Devizes. He built the old house at Bowden, which became the family seat. George Johnson married Mary D'Oyle, daughter of James D'Oyle (or D'Oeiles), a mer- chant from Flanders. Among their children was Baldwin, of whom further.

(The Family in America.)
(I) BALDWIN JOHNSON, fourth son of George and Mary (D'Oyle) Johnson, was born in Lacock, Wiltshire, and was baptized October 25, 1672. He died in Appoquinimink Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, where his will of Feb- ruary 28, 1720, was proved March 6, 1721. For a time he was a merchant of Bristol, England, but while a young man emigrated to the island of Antigua, in the West Indies, where he acquired considerable property. He later removed to the Lower Counties on the Delaware, settling in New Castle County. Baldwin Johnson married Jane (Eyre) Dyer, widow of William Dyer, of County Kent, England, and daughter of Ann Eyre. They had a daughter :
I. Mary, of whom further.

(II) MARY JOHNSON, daughter of Baldwin and Jane (Eyre-Dyer) Johnson, was born in Appoquinimink Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, August 4, 1718, and died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, November 9, 1804. Her brother, Edward, died young and she was sole heir to her father's estate in Antigua, but was unable to collect any of it. An attorney for the estate was brought to Boston as a prisoner during the Revolution, and when he was interviewed declared there was no possibility of finding its boundaries. Mary Johnson was known for her strength of character and religious piety. Mary Johnson married, at Christ

(The Joline Line).
The house of Goulaine, Anglicized Joline, was among the most ancient and illustrious houses of Brittany, and during the years of the French monarchy was allied to the sovereign house of Brittany. The names Jean and Geoffrey Goulaine appear as early as the twelfth century.
(D. Mailhol: "Dictionnaire de la Noblesse Française," Vol. I, p. 1341. E. and E. Haag : "La France Protestante," Vol. V, pp. 325-28.)
(I) ANDRE (ANDREW) JOLINE came to this country from Saint Palais, a sea- port in Saintonge, France. He was a firm believer in the Huguenot faith and on account of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV, in 1685, was obliged to leave home or change his religion. August 6, 1686, he obtained deniza- tion in New York City and was naturalized April 15, 1693. In 1688, he was a member of the Huguenot Church of New York City known as Église de St. Esprit, or simply as the French Church. He was master of the sloop "Woodbridge," which sailed between Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, and also made trips to Rhode Island. Benjamin Trotter, of Elizabeth Town, Essex County, New Jersey, in his will, dated October 27, 1716, bequeathed him one hundred acres of land. At that time Andrew Joline was residing at Elizabeth Town and engaged in business as a cooper. In 1739, he signed a petition for the incorporation of the town and when it was granted he was elected one of the first aldermen. In the same year he was on the committee to settle the boundary line with Newark. His will, dated June 18, 1741, and proved February 13, 1742, mentions his wife, Mary ; a daughter, Mary, and a son, John. Andre Joline married (first) Madeleine Poupin, who died later than 1701. He married (second) Mary (probably Mary Trotter ), born in 1654, daughter of William Trotter, of Newbury, Massachusetts, and subsequently of Elizabeth Town, New Jersey. He had a son :
1. John (Jean), of whom further.
(Baird: "Huguenot Emigration to America," Vol. II. "New Jersey Archives," First Series, Vol. XI, pp. 112, 114, 116, 124, 127, 138; Vol. XXII, p. 472. "Register of Eglise de St. Esprit.")
(II) JOHN (JEAN) JOLINE, son of Andrew and Madeleine ( Poupin) Joline, was born July 19, 1701, and was baptized at Église de St. Esprit, New York City, July 23, of that year. He resided at Elizabeth Town, Essex County, New Jer- sey. When John Graham, of Elizabeth Town, acquired an inn known as the "Sign of the Marquis of Granby," in 1764, it was described as formerly belonging to John Joline. He died about 1767. John Joline married Phoebe Price. Among their children was Mary, of whom further.

(III) MARY JOLINE, daughter of John (Jean) and Phœbe (Price) Joline, was born December 5, 1741, and died at Trenton, New Jersey, August 1, 1815. She married Elias Woodruff. (Woodruff V.) (Ibid.)

HOPKINSON
(The Ward Line).
The Ward family appears at an early date at Branford, Connecticut. Two families of the name located there and were probably related ; descendants of both being among the founders of Newark, New Jersey. Joyce Ward, who was a widow of Richard Ward, of Stretton, County Rutland, England, resided at Weth- ersfield, Connecticut, and made her will there on November 15, 1640. Her son, John Ward, also resided there until 1661, when he removed to Branford; later joining a group of his fellow-townsmen who founded Newark, New Jersey. His children were: John, Sarah, Phebe, Nathaniel, Abigail, and Josiah. Since some of these names occur in the other family at Branford, who descended from George and Lawrence Ward, the two families may have been related and this family also may, therefore, have come from the vicinity of Stretton, County Rutland, England. One of the Wards, who resided in England, was the father of Lawrence, who came to New Haven as early as 1639 and removed to Branford and later to Newark, New Jersey, where he died in 1670; Isabel, wife of Joseph Baldwin, and George, the progenitor of our line.
(J. R. Hutchinson: "Ward of Connecticut." "New York Genealogical and Biographical Record," Vol. XLIX, p. 264.)
(I) GEORGE WARD, a ship carpenter, who died at Branford, Connecticut, April 7, 1653, came to New England and resided at New Haven, Connecticut, as early as 1639, at which time he signed the Covenant, in 1641 ; his land included fifteen acres in the first division, fourteen in the second, three and a half acres of meadow and a tract in the Neck. Later on he became the proprietor of a lot on East Water Street, fronting the harbor. He had a son :
I. John, of whom further.
(J. Savage : "Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England," Vol. IV, p. 407. Atwater : "History of Colony of New Haven," pp. 111, 129, 219.)
(II) JOHN WARD, son of George Ward, who died in 1683-84, accompanied his father to Branford, Connecticut. Since John Ward, son of Widow Joyce Ward, was residing there and also removed to Newark, it is difficult to find which John is meant when the name occurs on early records. John, son of George Ward, was called John, Jr., and his occupation was that of a turner.
John Ward married Sarah Hills. (Hills II.) Their children included Nathan- iel, of whom further.
(Shaw: "History of Essex and Hudson Counties, New Jersey," Vol. I, p. 367. J. Sav- age : "Genealogical Dictionary of First Settlers of New England," Vol. II, p. 420. Stoddard : "Manuscripts of New Jersey Historical Society.")
(III) NATHANIEL WARD, son of John and Sarah (Hills) Ward, died Decem- ber 20, 1732. He married Sarah Harrison. (Harrison IV.) They had :
1. Eunice, of whom further.
(Stoddard: "Manuscripts of New Jersey Historical Society." Shaw: "History of Essex and Hudson Counties," pp. 362, 366.)

HOPKINSON
(The Cooper Line).
Cooper, or Couper, is an English surname which belongs to that great class of names derived from an occupation. A cooper was originally a cask, barrel, or tub maker, or seller. The name appeared at an early date in England, where we find in the Hundred Rolls of 1273 the following recorded: Alan le Cupere in the County Cambridge, Henry le Cupper in Notts County, and Richard le Cupare and Jordan le Cupere in Oxford. In the Poll Tax of Yorkshire, in 1379, were listed the names of Willelmus Couper and Willelmus Milner, couper.
(Bardsley: "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames." Harrison: "Surnames of the United Kingdom." Lower : "Patronymica.")
(I) THOMAS COOPER was born in England in 1617 and died in Springfield, Massachusetts, October 5, 1675, when the Indians burned that town. He sailed for New England in the ship "Christian," which arrived in Boston in 1635. He went to Winston in 1641 and two years later removed to Springfield, Massachu- setts. In 1645, he built the first meetinghouse there and received fourscore pounds for this service. For seventeen years he was a member of the Board of Selectmen and in 1668 he was elected deputy to the General Court. Thomas Cooper had a son :
I. Timothy, of whom further.
(H. M. Burt: "First Century of Springfield, Massachusetts," Vol. I, p. 37; Vol. II, pp. 553-56. Stoddard : Manuscripts of New Jersey Historical Society.)
(II) TIMOTHY COOPER, son of Thomas Cooper, was born April 26, 1644, and died in September, 1679. He succeeded to his father's home-lot in Springfield. Timothy Cooper married, October 19, 1664, Elizabeth Munson, who died in Stam- ford, Connecticut, in December, 1706, daughter of Thomas Munson, who was born in England in 1612, and who died at New Haven, Connecticut, March 7. 1685-86. Timothy and Elizabeth ( Munson) Cooper had :
I. Sarah, of whom further.
(H. M. Burt: "First Century of Springfield, Massachusetts," pp. 555-56. Stoddard : Manuscripts of New Jersey Historical Society. D. L. Jacobus: "Families of Ancient New Haven," Vol. VI, p. 1285.)
(III) SARAH COOPER, daughter of Timothy and Elizabeth (Munson) Cooper, was born March 17, 1666, and died June 3, 1727. She married John (4) Wood- ruff. (Woodruff III.)
(H. M. Burt: "First Century of Springfield, Massachusetts," p. 556. W. O. Wheeler & E. D. Halsey : "Inscriptions on Tombstones and Monuments in the Burying Grounds of the First Presbyterian Church and St. John's Church at Elizabeth, New Jersey, 1664-1892," p. 276.)
(The Ogden Line).
Oakden, or Ogden, is an English surname which was derived from a dean or valley, in the parish of Rockdale in southern Lancashire. John de Okedon is in the Hundred Rolls of the County York, A. D. 1273; and Richard de Okeden was recorded in 1332. The earliest date that the spelling Ogden was recorded was about 1500 A. D.
(Bardsley : "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames.")
(I) ROBERTUS OGDEN is first found on record in 1453 A. D., when he appeared as a witness to a grant of land in Nutley, Hampshire, England. He again appeared
40
HOPKINSON
with others in 1457, in connection with a post-mortem search concerning lands in Nutley, which had belonged to one Joan Ogden of Ellingham, County Southamp- ton. As it was customary for the nearest relative to settle the estate of deceased persons, and as the two sons were named, it is a fair presumption that Joan Ogden was the wife of Robertus Ogden. He had a son :
I. Ricardus, of whom further.
(W. O. Wheeler: "The Ogden Family in America." "Elizabethtown Branch and Their English Ancestry" (1907), pp. 6-10.)
(II) RICARDUS OGDEN, son of Robertus Ogden, married, before March 8, 1503, Mabel de Hoogan, daughter of Johannes de Hoogan, of the parish of Lynd- hurst, Hants, as appears from an instrument dated September 19, 1513, which recites that Mabel, the wife of Richard Ogden, then released to Thomas Delavale, of Lyndhurst, land which she had from her father, Johannes de Hoogan, late of Lyndhurst, deceased. Ricardus Ogden had a son :
I. Wilhelmus, of whom further.
(W. O. Wheeler: "The Ogden Family in America," p. 7.)
(III) WILHELMUS OGDEN, son of Ricardus and Mabel (de Hoogan) Ogden, died before July 10, 1569. He married, May 9, 1539, Abigail Goodsall, daughter of Henry Goodsall, of Bradley Plain, Hampshire. On July 10, 1569, Abigail, widow of Wilhelmus Ogden, confirmed to Edward Ogden, her oldest son, and to Margaret, his wife, all her lands and tenements in Bradley Plain and Umstead. Among their children was Edward, of whom further.
(Ibid., p. 8.)
(IV) EDWARD OGDEN, son of Wilhelmus and Abigail (Goodsall) Ogden, was born in Bradley Plain, September 5, 1540. He married, at Bradley Plain, Decem- ber 16, 1563, Margaret Wilson, daughter of Richard and Margaret Wilson. Their children included Richard, of whom further.
(Ibid., pp. 8-9.)
(V) RICHARD OGDEN, son of Edward and Margaret (Wilson) Ogden, was born at Bradley Plain, Hampshire, May 15, 1658. He appears to have lived in Wiltshire, England, and had lands in New Sarum and Plaitford, Wiltshire. Rich- ard Ogden married and among his children was John, of whom further.

(The Family in America).
(I) JOHN OGDEN, son of Richard and Elizabeth (Huntington) Ogden, was born in Bradley Plain, Hampshire, England, September 19, 1609, and died in Elizabethtown, New Jersey, May, 1682. He had acquired in Bradley Plain, Hamp- shire, a garden, an orchard, four acres of pasture and two acres of woodland, which he conveyed October 18, 1639, to Ezekiel Howard, of Bradley Plain. Shortly after John Ogden's marriage, in 1637, he and his wife sailed to America, where the first mention of his name is in connection with his taking up residence in Southampton, Long Island. April 17, 1640, he was granted the tract known as Shinnecock Hill, which adjoined Southampton on the west. He was chosen one of the three magistrates of Southampton, October 7, 1650, and was reelected Octo-

ber 6, 1651, 1657, and 1659. He was the representative from Southampton to the General Court of Connecticut in May; 1650, and in the Upper House in May, 1661. He decided a little later to remove to New Jersey, and on April 12, 1664, sold to his cousin, John Ogden, of Rye and Stamford, Connecticut, his house and home-lot with all the land at the rear and fifteen acres at Long Springs; and sold the rest of his Long Island lands in Southampton to John Rose, September 6, 1665, and fifty acres of common to John Langton, September 8, 1666. Mr. Ogden set- tled, in August, 1665, in Elizabethtown, New Jersey, where he was appointed justice of the peace by Governor Philip Corbett, October 26, 1665, and Deputy Governor November 1, 1665; and elected Burgess of the Legislature, constituted at Elizabethtown, May 26, 1668. He was made sheriff during the temporary pos- session by the Dutch, on September 1, 1673, and was virtually Acting Governor of the English towns in possession of the Dutch in New Jersey until they turned the territory over to the English in November, 1674. John Ogden married, at Brad- ley Plain, Hampshire, England, May 8, 1637, Jane Bond. (Bond II.) Their children included Mary, of whom further.
(W. O. Wheeler : "The Ogden Family in America," p. 40.)
(II) MARY OGDEN, daughter of John and Jane (Bond) Ogden, married John (3) Woodruff. (Woodruff II.)
(Ibid.)
(The Bond Line).
Bond came into use as a surname from Anglo-Saxon bonda, a householder, proprietor, husbandman. There are several people called Bonde in the Domesday Book, one of whom is somewhat contradictorily called "liber homo." In the Hun- dred Rolls of 1273 was recorded an Emma le Bonde, resident of the County Hunts, and a Robert le Bonde, who lived in Worcester County. Numerous other refer- ences to the name in the annals of England show that members of the family were scattered throughout the island.
