  • LEGISLATIVE FRANKS of NEW JERSEY by Ed and Jean Siskin
    Ed & Jean Siskin ~ LEGISLATIVE FRANKS OF NJ LEGISLATIVE FRANKS OF NEW JERSEY By Ed and Jean Siskin The franking privilege is the right to send and or receive mail free from postage. The word frank comes from the Latin via French and Middle English and means free. Samuel Johnson’s famous dictionary of 1755 defines Frank as “A letter which pays no postage” and To Frank as “To exempt letters from postage.” Currently we use the redundant term “free frank” but this is a modern philatelic invention. The term “free frank” does not appear in any British or American legislation or regulation that we’ve been able to find. Insofar as we can determine, “free frank” is a term which started to be used in the 1920’s by stamp dealers. They had begun the illogical use of “franked” to refer to the stamps on a cover and needed a way to refer to franked stampless covers. The term “free frank” was permanently implanted in our lexicon by Edward Stern in his 1936 book History of “Free Franking” of Mail in the United States. Stern was a major stamp dealer of his day and one of the first serious collectors of franked material. We had an original photograph, Figure 1, of Stern showing his Frank Collection to ex-President Hoover at the 1936 New York International Philatelic Exhibition. Wilson Hulme talked us into donating that photograph to the Smithsonian where it now resides. Stern’s book pictures an incredible collection of rare and desirable franked covers. However, some of the discussion in the book is not as fully researched as we would like and must be treated with caution.

  • HUGH HENRY BRACKENRIDGE, at PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, 1768-1771* Martha Conner
    146 Hugh Henry Brackenridge at Princeton University HUGH HENRY BRACKENRIDGE, AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, 1768-1771* Martha Conner. The College of New Jersey grew out of a need to pro- vide training for American boys for the Presbyterian min- istry, but it was controlled neither by the church nor the state. A liberal charter granted by the Governor of New Jersey in 1746 stated that "every religious denomination may have free and equal liberty and advantage of( educa- tion/' and made no mention of any set purpose to educate for the ministry. The first trustees were from the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, and the most of them were Presbyterians, two were Episcopalians, two Quakers, and one a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church. (1) The Rev. Jonathan Dickinson was elected president and the school opened inhis parsonage in Elizabethtown inMay, 1747, with not more than ten students. Pres. Dickinson died in October of that year and the Rev. Aaron Burr suc- ceeded him when the school with eight pupils was moved to his parsonage at Newark. A permanent home for the col- lege was sought and propositions were made both to New Brunswick and to Princeton. The latter promptly accepted the proposal to provide £1000, ten acres of cleared land and two hundred acres of woodland not more than three miles from the town. The bond for £1000 was signed by John Horner, a Quaker, Judge Thomas Leonard, a trustee, and Judge John Stockton. The site for the buildings was given by Mr. Nathaniel Fitz Randolph, a Quaker resident, who raised inall £1700 for the College.

Copyright 1928 The Society of Colonial Wars in the Stci tc of New Jersey Press oj Innes & Sons Philadelphia PREFACE N the foreword of "The First Americans" the Editors say, "The beginning of the thirteen English Colonies, so big I with destiny, have stirred the reverent curiosity of Ameri' can historians generation after generation." It is one of the ob' jects of the Society of Colonial Wars to promote an interest in and knowledge of Colonial history, not only by historians but by the ordinary man who professes that he has no time to devote to things that are past. In this day when distance is made unimportant by the motor vehicle, and we can in a day cover a mileage, which would have taken many days in Colonial times, there is no excuse for unfamiliarity or lack of knowledge of the historic spots in one's own State. When the State is one with a his- tory so fascinating and so closely connected with our National history, there is even less excuse for ignorance.

    Southern Campaigns American Revolution Pension Statements and Rosters Pension Application of Aaron Ogden S19013 NJ Transcribed and annotated by C. Leon Harris. For the purpose of obtaining the benefits of an act, entitled “An act for the relief of certain surviving Officers and Soldiers of the Army of the Revolution,” approved on the 15th of May, 1828, I, Aaron Ogden of Elizabeth Town, in the county of Essex, in the State of New Jersey do hereby declare that I was an officer in the Continental Line of the Army of the Revolution, and served as such to the end of the war at which period I was a Captain in the first regiment of the New-Jersey line. And I also declare, that I afterwards received certificates (commonly called commutation certificates) for the sum equal to the amount of five years’ full pay; which sum was offered by the resolve of Congress, of the 22d of March, 1783, instead of the half pay for life, to which I was entitled under the resolve of the 21st of October, 1780. Witness my hand, this thirteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty eight. Application of Aaron Ogden for an addition of sixty dollars semi annually to his pay certificate granted him under the act of Congress of May 1828. The above act provides that all the surviving officers of the line of the army of the revolution should be entitled to receive full pay to commence in 1826 for and during life, provided however that no such officer be entitled to receive more than the pay of a Captain in the line of that army.

Shaped by two staunch Federalist Senators - Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut and New Jersey's William Paterson - the act established the principle of national supremacy within an unprecedented federal system. From the outset New Jersey played a leading role through leaders like Paterson, who went on to become an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and his colleague David Brearley, the state's initial federal district judge. Brearley was typical of President George Washington's thirty-three appointees--in his middle forties, a federalist, experienced in the law and government. After two adjournments because of "indisposition," this former delegate to the Constitional Convention opened the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey "in due form." As in other districts, the first session was devoted to organizational matters, namely the reading of commissions for Brearley, Richard stockton as Attorney, Thomas Lowrey as Marshal, and Jonathan Dayton as Clerk. Some of the state's most eminent attorneys were then admitted to practice before the court, men like William Paterson, Robert Morris, Elias Boudinot, and Frederick Frelinghuysen.

Observing that he had the relevant documents organized so that Southard could get quickly acquainted with the facts of the matter at issue, Ogden added that "the cause will be entertaining and interesting, and as to compensation, you will please to name your own sum."
