Exerpts taken from the book Pioneers of old Hopwell

Col. Joab Houghton lived in early life on the farm now owned
by Mr. A. L. Holcombe, and at the time of the revolution on the
farm now owned by Mr. R. J. Birch.
a very valuable work entitled 'National Biography,' pub-
lished in London, England, in 1898, we find the first reference to
the family of ' 'Houghton. 1 '

The very eventful history of Adam de Houghton, who was
Bishop of St. David's and chancellor of England would fill a

volume.

•

Of his birth and nationality the historian says, 'that he was
born at Caerforig, in the parish of White Church, near St. David's,
but his name clearly shows his Norman or English origin.' His
death occurred in 1389.

The next reference in the same work is of John Houghton,
who was born in 1488, and died in 1535. His biographer says of
him that he was 'born of honorable parentage, educated at Cam-
bridge, became a very noted minister, and had a great career.' ' He
is described as slight of stature, elegant in appearance, shy in look,
modest in manner, sweet in speech, chaste in body, humble of
heart, amiable and beloved by all.

We have quoted the above from the biography simply to prove
the English origin of this branch of the Houghton family, and that
Col. Joab Houghton, the Hopewell hero of Revolutionary fame,
was a worthy scion of an illustrious family, which was very dis-
tinguished and prominent at an early period.

The first record we have of the family in America is found in
'The Genealogy of New England Families,' and is of Ralph
Houghton, who with his wife, Jane, emigrated from Lancaster,
England, to Massachusetts, about 1654.

Their children were Mary, born January 4, 1654; John, born
April 28, 1655; Joseph, born July 6, 1657; Experience, born Octo-
ber 1, 1659; Sarah, born February 17, 1662; Abigail, born July 15,
1664.

12 PIONEERS OP OLD HOPEWELL

It cannot be stated positively, but there seems to be good rea-
son for the belief that the John Houghton of the above family is
identical with the one of the same name who on January u, 1696,
purchased 200 acres of land of Thomas Warne, at the bend of Stony
Brook, near the present site of Port Mercer, about two miles south-
west of Princeton, and bounded by the Province line on the west.
Warne 's tract comprised 1400 acres, 1200 of which were sold to Ben-
jamin Clarke on October 28, 1696.

The deeds for the above tracts are on record in the office of the
secretary of State, at Trenton, and the met that Richard Stockton,
William Olden, John Houghton, Benjamin Clarke, Joseph Worth,
and several other prominent English families, settled at Stony Brook
the same year, would seem to indicate that they all came together,
although it is possible that the John Houghton who, on June 16,
1688, purchased 250 acres of land at Lower Hooke in Gloucester
County, and who is described in the deed as a 'Chirurgeon' or
surgeon.

It is a fact very familiar to those who have had experience in
tracing the genealogies of the families of the early settlers of this
State, that there was a great migration of English families from the
New England States to Long Island during the period from 1665 to
1675, and that many of these same families came to New Jersey a
few years later, and settled in Monmonth, Middlesex, Burlington
and Hunterdon counties, and this Houghton family was doubtless
of the number.

With very rare exceptions the pioneers of Hopewell township
were the children of the pioneers of New England, Long Island,
and of Monmouth, Burlington, and other older settled counties of
our own State.

Just over the Province line, only one mile east of our borough,
the pioneers were almost exclusively the children of the Holland
Dutch Emigrants, who, fifty years previous, had settled on Long
Island, and in the vicinity of New Amsterdam.

The pioneers on either side of the line represented th* best ele-
ments of the sturdy yeomanry of their respective nationalities, and
had been reared amid the hardships and privations incident to pio-
neer life.

The will of John Houghton is dated January 24, 1709, and is
filed in the office of the secretary of State at Trenton.

PIONEERS OF OLD HOPEWELL 13

He gives his residence aa 'Stony Brook* in ye county of Mid-
dlesex,f and State of New Jersey,' and it was written before all his
children had attained their majority.

He mentions his children as follows : John, the eldest; Joseph,
Richard, and Thomas the youngest. He also names one daughter,
Alice, and leaves property to two other daughters whose names are
not given.

He gives to his two sons, John and Joseph, 320 acres of land
on 'Stony Brook at Hopewell in the county of Burlington,' J and
is described as between 'Joshua Ward and Samuel Allen, divided
by a line running from Stony Brook to Thomas Smith's land.'

His dwelling house and plantation he left to his wife and his
son Thomas, 'when he comes of age.' (This Thomas was the
father of Col. Joab).

One of the daughters, not named in the will, was doubtless the
'Jane 'Houghton,' who was one of the subscribing witnesses to the
will of Richard Stockton, April 25, 1709.

The next account we have of Thomas Houghton is on April
23, 1726, when he purchased of Robert Tindall, 'of Nottinghham, in
ye county of Burlington, within the western division of Nova
Ceserea, Yeoman,' 300 acres of land, 'lying in Hopewell.' This
is the tract now owned by Mr. A. L. Holcombe, Mr. Wm. F. Gol-
den, Mr. Charles A. Holcombe, Mrs. Laura Rankin, and the por-
tion of Mr. D. P. Voorhees* farm which lies on the east side of the
public road.

At the time of the Houghton purchase, John Hixson owned the
farm now owned by Mr. Wm. I. Phillips. Richard Ketcham and
James Mattison owned the lands on the south, on the Trenton road.

The lands lying west of the Houghton purchase will be de-
scribed later.

This Houghton tract was surveyed by Thomas Revell, agent
for the West Jersey Society, for Thomas Tindall, on February 27,

?The Indian name for Stony Brook was 'Wapowog,' and the little hamletknown as
'•Stony Brook' was located on the east side of the brook opposite thepresent site of Joseph
H. Bruere's mill, and at the crossing of the old Indian path. Thisvillage, which was the
nucleus of the little Quaker settlement, had an existence and a name,about thirty years be-
fore the first house was built on the present site of the Borough ofPrinceton and from 1090
to 1725 all correspondence and public documents were dated 'Stony Brook.'

tMiddlesez county extended west to the Province line at that time, andfor many
years the main street in Princeton was the boundary between Middlesex and(Somerset
counties.

^Burlington county at that time extended to New York state line, andincluded Mer-
oer, Hunterdon, Warren, Morris and 8ussex counties.

NUMBER III.

In the year 1691, Dr. Daniel Coxe transferred the right of gov-
ernment of West Jersey to a company of proprietaries called 'The
West Jersey Society of England,' for a valuable consideration.

This society appointed Thomas Revell their agent, and he
claimed the right to sell lands and give deeds for the same in the
name of the society.

Great inducements were held out to the New England and
Long Island settlers as well as to those of the older portions of this
state, to avail themselves of the cheap and fertile lands of the thirty
thousand acre tract, and scores of them were induced to come and
settle, only to find that after they had subdued the wilderness and
established their homes, that their titles were utterly worthless.

Fifty of these settlers (among whom is found the name of
Thomas Houghton) entered into a solemn compact to stand by each
other in a law suit with Dr. Coxe.

After a long and tedious trial at Burlington, the case was de-
cided against them, and this verdict caused the most distressing
state of affairs in this township that was ever experienced in any
community.

Writs of ejectment had been served on them as 'tenants' of
Dr. Coxe to pay for their lands the second time or 'quit.'

Their lands had cost them only fifty cents per acre to purchase,
it is true ; but they had purchased them in good faith and spent the
best years of their lives in clearing them. Many had mortgaged
them to pay the expense of improvements, consequently not being
able to incur the additional expense, they were compelled to leave
their homes and seek new homes elsewhere, risking for the second,
and some of them for the third time, the perils of the wilderness.

Many of them went to the northern part of the county which
at that time extended to the New York state line, the county of
Hunterdon, including Warren, Morris and Sussex counties, and an
examination of the records of those counties between 1735 and 1750,

will reveal many names that are very familiar to the people of old
Hopewell.

The writer has a copy of this original writ of ejectment, to-
gether with the names of those on whom it was served, dated 'May
term of Supreme Court of New Jersey 1733,' and a number of in-
teresting documents in connection with it, which will appear later.

Thomas Tindall, who in 1696 purchased the 300 acre tract re-
ferred to died in 1713, and in his will dated July 18, 1713, leaves to
son John, the tract in Hopewell * 'where John Pullen now dwells.'

This tract passed from John Tindall to his brother Thomas,
Jr., and from him, by will dated April 6, 1715, to his brother
Robert.

These wills of Thomas, Sr., and Thomas, Jr., were witnessed
by their neighbors in Nottingham, viz : Isaac Atkinson, Mary Em-
bly, John Rodgers and Joshua Wright to the first, and Jacob Bail-
lerjeau, Edmond Beakes and Wm. Embly to the second.

Thomas Houghton, the purchaser of this tract, had at least
nine children, viz. : John, Absalom, Thomas, Joab, Elizabeth, the
first wife of Abraham Stout; Sarah, wife of John Merrill; Annie,
wife of John Smith ; Mary, wife of William Drake, and Alice, sec-
cond wife of Abraham Stout.

Only one of the four sons of Thomas Houghton left a will, viz :
Thomas, Jr His will is dated December 21, 1784, proved April 4,
1795. So far as we have been able to ascertain he never married,
and resided in the vicinity of Harbourton, possibly with Josiah
Hart or his son Nathaniel, who, with his neighbor, John Muirheid,
was made executor of the will, which is a lengthy and very inter-
esting document, proving him to have been a man of more than
average ability, and blessed with a fair share of this world's goods.

His white beaver hat, silk coat and jacket, silver knee and shoe
buckles, (which he divides between his nephew, Joab Stout,* and
his friend, Nathaniel Hart) show him to have been a man who
dressed in the style of the period, and becoming a gentleman of the
old school.

The first bequest in his will is to his nephew, Joab Stout, to
whom he leaves silverware, saddle and bridle, large bible, and a

?This Joab Stout was the nephew and namesake of Col. Joab Houghton, andalso a
nephew of 'Esq. Nathan' Stout, who wrote the Stout history. [See 'Historyof the Stout Family,' page 18.] Joab Stout lived on the farm now occupied by hisgrandson, Wm. 8*
Stout, two miles west of the borough.

PIONEERS OF OLD HOPEWELL 17

number of other articles, and also all the money on the note of
Peter and John Phillips, and a piece of woodland which he pur-
chased ofWm. Drake.* He leaves to his nephews and nieces, Eli,
John, Mary and Rachel Stout, 'all the money due in bank,' and
household goods to be divided between them, and a considerable
sum of money to Eli and John in addition. f

He gives the nephews, William Houghton and Joab Houghton,
Jr., (sons of Col. Joab) household furniture and a considerable sum
of money, and to Catherine, wife of Col. Joab, mentioned as Joab
Senior, and his neices, Elizabeth Houghton, Mary Drake and
Sarah Merrill, bedding, etc.

He gives all his remainder of his wearing apparel to his two
brothers, Joab and Absalom.

The following is the closing clause of the will : 'I give and be-
queath to the Presbyterian congregation of HopewellJ eight pounds,
to be paid within one year after my decease, and all the balance of
my estate to the children of my brothers, John and Joab Hough-
ton.'

This will is witnessed by the neighbors of Thomas Houghton,
viz.: Daniel Howell, Jonathan Muirheid and George Muirheid.

July 10, 1901.

tThe above named children had a brother, 8olomon, who deserves specialmention as
a hero of the revolution. He was killed in the battle of White Plains,New York, October
28, 1776, in the unequal contest of 1600 Americans against 18000 welldrilled troops under Gen-
eral Howe. Abraham Stout, the father of Solomon, was in the same battle,and will be giv-
en special notice in a subsequent article.

JThe Pennington Presbyterian Church was organized probably as early as1710, and
was designated on the records as 'The Presbyterian Church of Hopewell,'which name it
bore for about one hundred and seventy years, and until the PresbyterianChurch of Hope-
well was organized In the village of Hopewell in 1877, when thePennington church dropped
the name of Hopewell and the name Pennington was substituted. ThomasHoughton, Jr.,
was a liberal contributor to the salary of Rev. John Guild in 1760.

On December 30th, 1734, Thomas Houghton, senior, sold to
Joseph Golden 200 acres of the tract which he purchased of Robert
Tindall April 23, 1726, the tract being described in the deed as
11 200 acres of the eastermost part thereof,' the consideration being
three hundred pounds.

This is the tract now owned by Mr. A. L. Holcombe and Mr.
Charles A. Holcombe.

On July 19, 1750, Thomas Houghton sold to Thomas Mershon
of Princeton the balance of the original 300-acre tract.

Thomas Mershon sold it to James Larison of Hopewell, and on
the same date James Larison sold it to Joseph Golden.

By this purchase Mr. Golden secured the whole of the Hough-
ton tract, a part of which is still in possession of the family.

Wm. F. Golden, the present owner, being a great, great
grandson of Joseph and his children being the sixth generation
who have resided on that farm.

In Barber and Howe's 'Historical collections of New Jersey, 1 '
published in 1846, it is stated that at the time of the Revolution Col.
Joab Houghton lived in the house occupied by Mr. Wm. Suydam.

This historic old relic is still standing one mile north of the
borough, in a good state of preservation and is owned by Mr. Ren-
saler J. Birch.

It is one of the very few homes of the old heroes of '76 that is
left in this locality. One by one they have been ruthlessly torn
away to make room for more modern structures, and the few which
remain should be preserved, that they may be pointed out to the
rising generation as the homes of our country's brave defenders in
the darkest hours of the nation's history, and serve to keep alive
the spirit of '76 as they are thus reminded of the noble patriots

It is said of the old colonel that he was of a Terr jovial
ition, and loved a good story, and after the dose of the war this old
house was a favorite place for the old *»«— ¦»«* to \
around the wide fire place, which still reman
loved to talk over the exciting experiences of the camp, the 1
and the battle field, and the 'bunting memories of that
drama of freedom,' in which they bare snch a noble part. At
times the old hero's feelings would be so wrought upon by rem*
iniscences of the war, or the uUnanc e of some patriotic sentiment,
that he would be moved to tears.

His grandson, Rev. Spencer Cone, says of him that he
fine singer and a great lover of music, and that only a short time
before his death his grandchildren sang 'Hail Columbia' for him,
and he was completely overcome and wept like a child.

Mr. Cone was the son of Conant Cone and Alice Houghton,
and was one of the most distinguished Baptist clergymen of his
day, and the following sketch of Col. Houghton is from his pen :

'Joab Houghton was one of those who first began to take
measures against the Royal government, which resulted during 1776
in the organization of the Provincial Congress of New Jersey, and
the arrest by Col. Heard of the Royal governor (Franklin) who
was afterward handed over by order of the Continential Congress,
sitting in Philadelphia, to the custody of Governor Trumbull of
Connecticut. [Life of Lord Sterling.]

'Joab Houghton was also among the first appointments of
field officers made by New Jersey for the Contingent Army, raised
for the army of the United Colonies, and when a state government
was erected by the choice of representatives to the two houses of
council and assembly, and the election of Livingston as governor,
he was one of the first members of the assembly returned from
the county of Hunterdon.

'It was in the old Baptist meeting house at Hopewell that
Joab Houghton received the first news of the battle of Lexington,
and the defeat of the Earl of Northumberland, the haughty descend-
ant of the hero of Chevy Chase, by the half-armed yeomanry of
New England.

' Stilling the breathless messenger Mr. Houghton sat quietly
through the services, and when they were concluded passed out,

On December 30th, 1734, Thomas Houghton, senior, sold to
J'*eph Golden 200 acres of the tract which he purchased of Robert
Tindall April 23, 1726, the tract being described in the deed as
'200 acre* of the eastermost part thereof,' the consideration being
three hundred pounds.

This is the tract now owned by Mr. A. L. Holcombe and Mr.
Charles A. Holcombe.

On July 19, 1750, Thomas Houghton sold to Thomas Mershon
of Princeton the balance of the original 300-acre tract.

Thomas Mershon sold it to James Larison of Hopewell, and on
the same date James Larison sold it to Joseph Golden.

By this purchase Mr. Golden secured the whole of the Hough-
ton tract, a part of which is still in possession of the family.

Wm. F. Golden, the present owner, being a great, great
grandson of Joseph and his children being the sixth generation
who have resided on that farm.

NUMBER V.

The tract of land on which Col. Joab resided during the revo-
lutionary period, was a part of the thirty thousand acre tract owned
by Dr. Daniel Coxe, of London, and was purchased about 1750 of
his heirs by Philip Rogers of Huntington, Long Island, who sold
125 acres to his brother-in-law, John Stout,* who soon after sold it
to their brother-in-law, George Sexton. About 1765 George Sexton
sold it to Joab Houghton for 430 pounds, and on May 17, 1796, he
sold 100 acres of the tract to his son, William Houghton, who, in
1805 sold it to William Suydam, who resided there until his death
in 1845.

The tract is now owned by R. J. Birch, Esq., who kindly pre-
sented the old deed to the writer.

Joab Houghton married about 1748, Catharine, daughter of his
neighbor, Aaron Runyan, f and had children as follows: Aaron
Houghton married Elizabeth Sexton, February 23, 1780 ; Elijah,
Joab, Jr ; William, Sarah and Alice.

Four of the above children, viz : Aaron, Joab, Elijah, and
Sarah, wife of Amos Corwine, moved to Mason Co., Kentucky,
about 1790.

?Philip Rogers married at Huntington, L. I., June 24, 1786, Esther,daughter of
Charles Sexton, Jr., and with his father-in-law eame to Hopewell soonafter and were
among the pioneers of this region. This John Stout was the son ofZebulon, and grandson
of Jonathan, one of the very first of old Hopewell's settlers and marriedMabel, youngest
daughter of Charles Sexton.

tThis Runyan family were among the earliest pioneers of HopewellTownship, and
were descended from a distinguished and eminently pious French Huguenotfamily, who re-
sided in the Province of Poitou, on the west coast of France, and weredriven by fierce re-
ligious persecutions to seek refuge, first in the isle of Jersey, andfrom thence emigrated to
America. The first records we have of any of the family in New Jersey, isof Vincent
Rougion of Portiers, France, Mariner, who in 1668 was granted a licenseby Philip Carteret,
the young governor of East Jersey, to wed 'Ann Boutoher, daughter of JohnBoutcher of
Hartford, in England.' [See genealogy of the Runyan family published byHenry Runyan, Esq., of Princeton, N. J.] Thomas Runyan, doubtless a son of Vincent, ofPiscataway
Township, Middlesex Co., N. J., purchased in 1708, the farm on whichEnoch A. Titus now
resides, on the west side of Stony Brook, two miles south of our borough,where he lived
many years and reared a family among whom were Vincent, Aaron, Ephraimand others.

After the death of Col. Joab, his widow also left New Jersey
and resided with her children in Kentucky until her death, which
occurred about 1820, at a very advanced age.

There had been such a large migration of the old families of
Hopewell to Kentucky during the period from 1790 to 1810, that
Mrs. Alice Cone wrote in 181 7, 'That whilst old Hopewell and
Princeton recalled the memories of her youth, most that remained
of the old familiar faces were to be seen about the newer settlements
of the West, and chiefly in the neighborhood of Maysville, Ken-
tucky.'

Elijah, son of Col. Joab, married Charlotte, daughter of Na-
thaniel Hart, and granddaughter of Hon. John Hart, and resided at
Maysville, Ky., where she died at the age of 33 years, and he mar-
ried for a second wife a Miss Jackson.

William, son of Col. Joab, born September 25, 1757, married
Margaret Sexton, who was born October 29, 1775.

She was the daughter of Judge Jared Sexton of Hopewell, who
represented Hunterdon county in the legislature 1777-1779, and
filled many public offices until the time of his death, which occurred
May 10, 1785, at the age of 48.

William Houghton and Margaret Sexton had children as fol-
lows, viz: Sarah, born August 7, 1794, died 1873 unmarried ;
Nancy, born January 28, 1796, married Palmer Price; Caroline,
born March 31, 1798, married Joseph Hart ; William Sexton, born
1803, died 1805 ; John Sexton, born September 9, 1805, married
Lucy A. Alvord, and died at Marengo, 111., August 28, 1865;
Aaron, born January 22, 1807, died March 1, 1837; Joab, born

26, 1816, died in Chase Co., Kansas, January 25, 1890, leaving a
wife and six children, all now deceased.

William Houghton, Sr., owned a beautiful farm of about 400
acres, at 'Houghton's Hill,' near Homer, Cortland county, New
York.

When he removed to New York State he selected a tract of
land located much the same as the old home of his grandfather at
Hopewell, which were the farms now occupied by A. L. Holcombe,
Wm. F. Golden and Charles A. Holcombe.

William Houghton, Sr., died June 29, 1835, aged 78, and his

married Amos Corwine J, who was born near New Market, N. J.
(now Lin vale) in 1756. They emigrated to Mason County, Ken-
tucky, at the time of the great migration about 1790, and had chil-
dren as follows, viz: Joab Houghton, Richard, William, John,
Clarissa, Aaron Houghton.

Of the above children, Joab, born 1788, married Elizabeth,
daughter of General Samuel Lucas, and became an editor and pub-
lisher of considerable note in the West.

He published the Maysville Eagle, the first newspaper in
Maysville, Ky., and afterward the 'Dove,' the first paper in Wash-
ington, Ky. In 1833, he removed to Cincinnati, Ohio, and pub-
lished the 'Cincinnati' Courier, but soon removed to Louisville,
Ky., where he died May 20, 1837.

All of his sons became widely known as editors, publishers and
politicians in the southwest, and held several appointments of
great trust and responsibility under different administrations.

Aaron, son of Amos Corwine and Sarah Houghton, became an
artist of considerable repute, and resided in Cincinnatti, Ohio,
where he took rank among the first of his profession.

His portraits were singularly true to the originals, and to the
present day are highly prized by those who are so fortunate as to
possess them.

In 1829 he started for Italy for the purpose of perfecting his
art by foreign study, but in conseqence of failing health abandoned
the idea after reaching London, and returned to this country and
died in 1830.

Catherine Runyon was the child of early Huguenot refugees and both herparents were very stern old French Calvinists

NUMBER V.

The tract of land on which Col. Joab resided during the revo-
lutionary period, was a part of the thirty thousand acre tract owned
by Dr. Daniel Coxe, of London, and was purchased about 1750 of
his heirs by Philip Rogers of Huntington, Long Island, who sold
125 acres to his brother-in-law, John Stout,* who soon after sold it
to their brother-in-law, George Sexton. About 1765 George Sexton
sold it to Joab Houghton for 430 pounds, and on May 17, 1796, he
sold 100 acres of the tract to his son, William Houghton, who, in
1805 sold it to William Suydam, who resided there until his death
in 1845.

The tract is now owned by R. J. Birch, Esq., who kindly pre-
sented the old deed to the writer.

Joab Houghton married about 1748, Catharine, daughter of his
neighbor, Aaron Runyan, f and had children as follows: Aaron
Houghton married Elizabeth Sexton, February 23, 1780 ; Elijah,
Joab, Jr ; William, Sarah and Alice.

Four of the above children, viz : Aaron, Joab, Elijah, and
Sarah, wife of Amos Corwine, moved to Mason Co., Kentucky,
about 1790.

?Philip Rogers married at Huntington, L. I., June 24, 1786, Esther,daughter of
Charles Sexton, Jr., and with his father-in-law eame to Hopewell soonafter and were
among the pioneers of this region. This John Stout was the son ofZebulon, and grandson
of Jonathan, one of the very first of old Hopewell's settlers and marriedMabel, youngest
daughter of Charles Sexton.

tThis Runyan family were among the earliest pioneers of HopewellTownship, and
were descended from a distinguished and eminently pious French Huguenotfamily, who re-
sided in the Province of Poitou, on the west coast of France, and weredriven by fierce re-
ligious persecutions to seek refuge, first in the isle of Jersey, andfrom thence emigrated to
America. The first records we have of any of the family in New Jersey, isof Vincent
Rougion of Portiers, France, Mariner, who in 1668 was granted a licenseby Philip Carteret,
the young governor of East Jersey, to wed 'Ann Boutoher, daughter of JohnBoutcher of
Hartford, in England.' [See genealogy of the Runyan family published byHenry Runyan, Esq., of Princeton, N. J.] Thomas Runyan, doubtless a son of Vincent, ofPiscataway
Township, Middlesex Co., N. J., purchased in 1708, the farm on whichEnoch A. Titus now
resides, on the west side of Stony Brook, two miles south of our borough,where he lived
many years and reared a family among whom were Vincent, Aaron, Ephraimand others.

The writer has in his possession copies of two old letters — one
written in colonial time, dated January ye 16, 1755, written by the
Corwines in Amwell, Hunterdon Co., N. J., to their cousins in
Boston, Mass., and the other of more recent date written by Amos
and Sarah Houghton Corwine of Maysville, Kentucky, to John and
Rebecca Still well Corwine* of Snydertown, N. J.

The last is in the Houghton line and will be read with interest,
manifesting, as it does, a spirit of such fervent piety and deep re-
ligious feeling.
Dear Brother and Sister :

After the compliments common to letters, we inform you that
we are in a reasonable state of health at present. Blessed be God
for it, and all other mercies from time to time bestowed on us. We
hope these few lines will find you and your family in the same state.
It is a long time since we heard from you

Alice Cone wrote us last fall and she tells us that she saw and
conversed with you not long before, and it gives us unspeakable
satisfaction to hear that you partake of the sweet seasons of the out
pourings of God's grace upon the church at Hopewell. She like-
wise informs us that some of our old acquaintances have been
turned from the ways of darkness to the light of the knowledge of
the glory of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, for which we trust we
join in unfeigned thanks to God.

As a church we once enjoyed that fullness of harmony you now
enjoy but alas ! we are overshadowed by a cloud of thick darkness
which we trust the Lord will remove in his appointed time.

Mother continues same as she was when I wrote to you the last
time, but in as good health as is common for her age. She wishes
to be remembered to you and children and all relatives and friends.

?This John and Rebecca Corwine were the parents of Gideon Reed Corwine ofPen-
nington, N. J , and the grandparents of our esteemed fellow townsman,Cornelius T. Cor-
wine, who is the last male representative in this region, bearing thename of this once num-
erous and influential family in old Hunterdon County.

26 PIONEERS OF OLD HOPEWELL

Dear brother, our ardent desire is that you could make it con-
venient to come and partake of the goodness of the soil of our fertile
country. We by experience do know that with one-half the ex-
pense you are at where you are would maintain you better, and we
should be happy in the enjoyment of you.

Please remember us to John Reedf and family, let him know
that we have not forgot him, and all enquiring friends.

Send us information of your welfare by the first opportunity.

No more at present. We conclude, remaining your affection-
ate brother and sister until death.

Amos and Sarah Corwine,
Margaret Corwine,!
Ruth Corwine.
Mason Co., Ky., April 20, 1800.

To John and Rebecca Corwine.

Alice, youngest daughter of Col. Joab Houghton, married
Conant Cone, of Princeton, N. J., who was a co-patriot and com-
panion in arms of Col. Joab.

They had children as follows : Spencer Houghton, born at
Princeton, April 30, 1785, became one of the most noted preachers
in the Baptist church and was pastor of the First Baptist Church of
New York City ; Catharine, who married John Norvell, a partner of
Spencer H. Cone of the Baltimore Whig and removed to Lexington,
Ky., and afterward to Michigan, and was United States Senator
from that state; Eliza, who became the wife of James Leslie, Esq.,
of Philadelphia ; Martha and Amelia, single; Joseph who was an
artist and engraver in Baltimore and married Mary Ann Diffen-
daffer.

The history of the life and most remarkable career of Rev.
Spencer Houghton Cone was published in a volume of 500 pages,
by his sons, Edward W. and Spencer W. Cone in 1856.

He was a student in Princeton College at twelve years of age, a
full grown man in size and a teacher at fourteen — a celebrated actor,
playing in the best theatres in New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more at twenty, and a soldier and captain of artilery in the war of
1812.

He was also an editor and publisher and during the last forty
years of his life one of the most talented and popular preachers of

his generation, possessing as a pnblic speaker extraordinary endow-
ments.

Such was his command of language that he never hesitated for
a word, or recalled one that he had uttered.

He was married May 10, 1813, to Miss Sally Wallace Morrell,
daughter of Robert Morrell of Philadelphia. She died in August,
1854, an
His mother, Alice Houghton Cone, united with the Baptist
Church of Hopewell in 1785, when her eldest child, Spencer, was
but a few months old, and was a woman of extraordinary piety and
consecration, which, coupled with a mind of rare culture and refine-
ment, stamped itself upon all of her children, who, like their
mother, became earnest devoted members of the Baptist church in
early life.

In closing the articles on the family of Col. Houghton we will
quote in part from references found in the life of his grandson,
alluded to above, which will be of interest, emphasizing as it does
the fact that ' 'great hearts are tender hearts' and 'the loving are
the daring.'

He says: 'The last we remember of grandfather Houghton
was once when mother took all of us children up to his house. He
would have us sing for him, and we sung 'Hail Columbia' as best
we could.

'He was completely overcome and cried like a child.

'Our father Cone was just like him and easily moved to tears.

'They both sung finely. Uncle Houghton said that they
could hear grandfather sing three-quarters of a mile.

'Both of them used to set the tunes in church, I remember
hearing them.

'My dear brother's voice was hereditary. It ran in the Hough-
ton and Cone families.

'Our father had naturally all the qualities of a public speaker.
His language flowed easily and naturally.

'He was a philanthropist and greatly injured himself and fam-
ily by his too great generousity.

* ' He spoke at grandfather Houghton 's grave .§ What a strange
transmission of qualities ! His son inherited the same strange
compelling sense of duty.

|The grave of Col. Houghton is in the old cemetery, only a few feet northof the meet-
; house, while the memorial tablet, erected by the citizens of Hopewellin 1806, stands
thin a few feet of the Hart monument, and near the street.

During this dark and gloomy period between the retreat into
Pennsylvania, and the battle of Trenton on December 26th, a large
proportion of the people of this state became so discouraged that they
despaired of a successful issue of the struggle for liberty, and ac-
cepted the terms of Lord Howe's proclamation, offering pardon and
protection to all who would lay down their arms and take the oath
of allegiance to the British crown within sixty days.

It is a matter of history that for over two weeks the daily aver-
age of those who took 'protection papers' was about 200, and the
whole number 2,703.* The great majority of them being along the
route of the conquering army, including Newark, Elizabethtown,
New Brunswick, Princeton and Trenton. So widespread was this
disaffection that even Samuel Tucker of Hunterdon county, chair-
man of the committee of safety, treasurer and judge of the Supreme
Court, took protection of the British and vacated his offices.

It may be said to the honor of Old Hopewell that the great ma-
jority of the people were staunch old patriots, who spurned with
disdain the offer of pardon and protection, and stood gallantly by
their noble leaders, Hart and Houghton, who never faltered for a
moment, or lost confidence in the cause of freedom, even in this the
darkest hour in our nation's history.

Those timid and faint hearted people who had so promptly tak«*
en the oath of allegiance to the crown, and received protection soon
found to their great consternation and dismay, that they had been
terribly deceived, for during the brief period that the British held
undisputed sway the country was ravaged by the Hessian soldiers,
who could not read a word of the English language, and when these.¹

Joseph Golden purchased December 30, 1734, 200 acres of land
of Thomas Houghton described in the deed as the 'eastermost part
of his tract,' being the tract now owned by Messrs. A. L. Holcombe
and Charles A. Holcombe, and fully described in former articles as
the tract which was surveyed by Thomas Revell, agent for The West
Jersey Society, for Thomas Tindall, on February 27, 1696, being
the first farm of which we have any record located in the Hopewell
valley. This Joseph Golden was known in Monmouth Co., prior
to his settlement at Hopewell, as Joseph Golden, Junior, his father
being active in business affairs at that time.
Joseph Golden purchased his first tract at Hopewell of Thomas
Houghton (father of Col. Joab), on December 30, 1734, and it is
supposed settled on it the following spring, as we find that he gave
a bond to Mr. Houghton in 1735, for one hundred pounds current
money of New Jersey, at 'eight shillings per ounce,' ' conditioned
for the payment of fifty pounds of like money, on, or before the
twenty-fifth day of December, 1737.

Mr. Houghton gave Mr. (Golden a receipt for payment in full
on this bond, which I will copy in full here retaining the original
capitalization and spelling :

'March ye 2 2 the Day 1744.'

'Received of Joseph Golden the sume of fifty pounds Lawfull
money, with Lawfull interest of the pro vence of west New Jersey,
which was Dow upon a bond Bareing Datse one thousand Seven
Hundred thirty five, payable the twenty fifth day of December, in

seven. Given under my Hand and Seal this twenty Second Day of
March, 1744.

'Thomas Houghton.'
'Witness present, Benjamin Anderson, Wm. Jones.' '

On July 19, 1750, Mr. Golden purchased the balance of the
Houghton tract, the particulars of the transfer being given in

served as guides to Washington on the march from Coryell's Ferry (nowLambertville) to

encampment, they guided them to their father's farm, and the farms oftheir next neigh-
bors, the Goldens. It rained incessantly during the march and while theywere in camp,
and under the circumstances no better location could have been selected.'Lake Tommy,'
located on the top of the hill on Mr. Hart's farm, was quite a body ofwater at that time and
furnished an ample supply for the army during their stay. The army ruinedgrowing crops,
and burned and destroyed fences, but it can be said to the credit of bothfamilies that they
never brought in any bill for damages, although many others did whosedamages were very
trivial compared with theirs.

It may be of interest to state that the above parties owned in
1750, the lands lying between the road leading from Hope-
well to the mountain, on the east line and from a point just north
of Moore's mill to the mountain on the west line, excepting Wm.
Phillips, who resided in Lawrence, and may have wanted more
direct access to timber lands in the mountains. Excepting also
James Mattison, who owned the farms now occupied by John M.
Dalrymple, Esq., and the congregation of the First Baptist church,
and Andrew Stout, who resided on the farm owned by Wm. A. All-
father, better known as the Britton Hill farm.

It is a fact worthy of note that every one of these Hopewell
farmers signed his name in a bold plain hand which was unusual at
a time when a very large percentage of farmers in some localities
made their mark.

The deceased was practically blind, being barely able to discern objects and to determinebetween daylight and dark. He had stopped at the John McDonough Saloon, just east of the Central crossing and had been conversing with some old soldier acquaintances. He got up from the chair in which he had been resting and said he was going home. Mr. McDonough wanted him to wait for a moment and he would accompany him over the tracks. Others also offered to pilot him but he refused the assistance of all and started toward the west, feeling his way along the edge of the walk as was his custom. The IA Central flag men have known him some little time and it has been their custom to help the old fellow across the tracks. Lockard yesterdaystood at the crossing side a moment irresolutely, and then started west across the tracks.

Martin Lockard resided in Oskaloosa almost three years. He disposed of some property he owned in Rose Hill, where he had lived a number ofyears. He had been rooming above the John Rose place on High Avenue West and had only last week taken apartments with is daughter, removing his property to her house.
