In the 1750s, the colony of New Jersey appropriated funds to construct five banacks to house British troops brought to the colonies to fight against the French. These structures were built in response to public outcry against the forced quartering of troops in the homes of private citizens.

The Trenton Barracks, the only one to sulive, was built in two parts -- a stone soldiers'baracks in 1758 and a brick-faced officers'Quarters in 1159. At that time the village of Trenton was composed of about 100 houses and three or four taverns and inns.

During the , the Trenton Barracks assumed an active role as a continental Army Hospital from February 1777 until late fall 1782. After the War, the Barracks fell into private hands and was used for residential purposes until it was opened as a museum in 1903. The State of New Jersey has restored it twice -- first in I9I4-11 and again in 1998.

Every year since 1990 "The Old Barracks Museum", as it is called, sponsors a "Capital Ball" to help with fund raising. The most recent took place Saturday evening, January 29, and for the first time, it brought together the heads of the three major revolutionary war hereditary societies.

Everett F. Briggs, L.H.D.

Founder Ancestor: John Briggs, Sr. Patriot Ancestor: Isaac Briggs

Associate Rev. Briggs was assigned to Japan In 1932 as a Catholic Maryknoll missionary. He founded and was pastor of St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church in Otsu City. St. Mary's was the first Catholic Church built in this territory since the 16th century. Rev. Briggs family has a history of service to God. Brother Arthur was a missionary to China, one cousin was a missionary to Korea and another was a missionary to Pakistan. Rev. Briggs himself somehow felt fated to follow another cousin, Rev. Francis c. Briggs, the last foreign pilot on Japan's Inland Sea, as capt of the Fukuin Maru (Gospel ship).

Among his memories is the day when, he approached a group of college students in Tokyo for directions. He overhead them discussing an American Lady aviator whose plane had come down on an island in the South pacific. "Probably, they will bring her to Tokyo as a spy," someone said. He contacted the FBI, from his hospital bed after his return to the united States.

Prior to the war with Japan, he was involved on the periphery in the secret endeavors to dissuade Japan from entering World War II. He still remembers the night he guided the late Bishop James E. walsh of cumberland, MD through the rice field to arendezvous with a collaborator. He remembers, too, accompanying a General who borrowed his prayer book to shield the General's heart from a possible bullet. After the war started, Rev Briggs was taken prisoner and while intemed he went on a hunger strike in defense of abused parishioners. Since one does not fly in the face of his captors in a concentration camp, Rev. Briggs did not escape impunity. He almost lost his life.

After repatriation, the war remained part of him. when he returned to the United States the u.S. Army requested he take the Japanese language examinations. He passed the examination with one of the highest grade on record. He was offered three different commissions. He volunteered for service in the u.s.N. Y-r2Training Program, as professor of Japanese at Holy cross College.

When the American Armed Forces was preparing for the landing in Japan, they

16 News From The Societies

California

The Winter installation meeting of the California Society was held at the Los Angeles Athletic Club in conjunction with the Society of Colonial Wars, Sons & Daughters of the Pilgrims and the local Sons of Liberty chapter of the SAR. At the officers meeting, Ken Walker (incoming governor) spoke of the death of his son Ssgt Allan K. Walker in Falujah, Al Ramadi Province, Iraq on Aprtl 6,2004 and of Ken's meeting with President Bush on Dec 7th.

Ken spoke of his personal conviction that if any person can prevent a generational war against the Jihadists, it is our president. He told our president that if "I had another son, I'd send him with him"....Every time a soldier dies, it hurts the commander but it must be done for the survival of our civilization.

After the dinner, the Society of Colonial Wars conducted the Broken Arrow ceremony in honor of Ssgt Walker and all veterans who have died in battle in the service of our Republic. This was followed by the Sons of Liberty, SAR placing a gold star on their chapter's flag. Ssgt Allan K. Walker USMC was a member of the SAR and SR. Additionally, the American Legion Post 619 in Wamer Springs, CA renamed their post after him.

The Order's plaque was installed on Memorial Day on the columbarium. Ken Walker dressed as a French & Indian War Roger's Rangers, Jay Wood in his Revolutionary War regimental and Dr. Robert Lincoln in modern dress as part of the somber delegation. Ken's son Allan now rests in peace near the site. Many tears have been shed.

We had avery good turnout of almost 30 members and guests for the event which was also the occasion for our annual meeting. We had among our guests, President and Past Presidents of the Michigan Chapter, National Society, Daughters of Founders and Patriots ofAmerica. We had nominations and elections of a new slate of officers, presentations of certificates honoring the occasion of our founding in the little town of Chesaning and a talk given on West Point before the ceremonial cake cutting by five MI Associates took place. The ceremony offered a proper toast of remembrance to our Michigan Society Charter Members and signed a special registration certificate in recognition of the anniversary.

21 North Carolina

"Project Phoenix", a multi-year effort to re-establish North Carolina as a viab Society within OFPA came to a successful conclusion on Saturday,Match12, 2005 when Governor General Robert Vivian formally installed Joseph Arnold Norcross as Govemor. The other members of the new NC Team include Peter Corson, Secretary-Treasurer; Stanley Squires, Registrar; Frank (Pete) Jaeger, States Attorney; Donnel (Jerry) Hubbard, Councillor; and Thatcher Wood, Councillor General.

At the Annual Meeting Governor General Vivian paid special tribute to the late Bruce Butler, long-time Society Treasurer and Bryan Bechler, now a resident of Washington State, as "the glue that held the NC Society together even in its darkest hour."

Vivian also pointed to the strong support and encouragement of the VA Society -- and especially to the work of past Governor Norcross, Thatcher Wood, (L to R) CG Thatcher Wood, GG Robert Vivian, NC Gov Joseph Registrar Stanley Squires and Councillor Jerry Hubbard. who directed the operation and to VA Registrar and former Registrar General, Jerry Hubbard, as well as to NC Associate and Interim Governor Emory (Woody) Stearns II, had to resign for personal reasons.

Through their efforts and with the support of current VA Governor Dan Warren, other VAAssociates who became dual members, and NC members who dropped and decided to renew such as former NC Governor and Deputy Treasurer General Grant Peterson (he kept the Charter safe, stored the "offici stationery and offered helpful suggestions and background information), the N Society, like the mythological bird, has arisen from its ashes.

22 Ohio

The Ohio Society began an active 2004 by participating in the planting of a Buckeye tree (the Ohio State tree) next to the Memorial for US President James A. Garfield, in Cleveland, commemorating Ohio's bicentennial. Later in the summer we presented an OFPA wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Patriot on the occasion of the 225thAnniversary of Fort Laurens, Bolivar, Ohio. The fort had been built in 1778 rn an fated campaign to attack the British at Detroit. But supplying this wilderness outpost was its downfall. After a month-long siege, the fort was abandoned by its starving garrison in 1779.

Our newly elected officers were installed at our January 2005 meeting and a preliminary schedule for the year was developed. In an effort to encourage greater participation by younger "still gainfully employed" Associates, we will test the idea of holding some of our meetings on Saturdays. We hope this will generate greater participation and will also lead to recruiting new Associates who Then Ohio Chaplain, now Ohio Society Govemor. may not be available for our regular John M. Boume, helping to plant the Ohio Buckeye weekday gatherings. tree. Late Govemor Francis Shennan in uniforu-r is looking on.
