INTRODUCTION.

The work of cumpiling this book should have been done by other hands in days long past, and we have taken it up simply as a duty and labor of love, and not with hopes of any pecuniary gain. In the main, \vritten records have been relied upon; written statements from in­ .iividuals have, in some instances, been inserted, and where tradition is given, it is so stated. This work is compiled and published especially for the home circle of the Borton and Mason families, and those who have descended there­ from; and we hope and desire that it may be received in the same spirit in which it has been written. Some families will not appear owing to a lack of proper data concerning them; but knowing their ancestors for two or three generations, will be able to trace their genealogy and family history back to the progenitors. Much authentic history has been in­ serted, believing that it will not only add interest to the book, but will help to preserve it for those who may come after us. There will doubtless be mistakes in genealogical data, compilation and construction of this volume; but when we think of the wo/ .'..:, stu­ pendous in its nature, which has been done during moments of _im_e as. they could be snatched from a busy professional life, and also think of the vast correspondence and research required, we believe that all criti­ cisms 1,·ill be considerate and charitable.

THE COMPILER.

EXPLANATORY NOTES.

The arrangement of the work is by generations, and the names of the children in each generation who married are carried forward as parent of the following generation. The index includes the eighth and ninth generations, and the numeral placed, in each instance, before the name Borton and Mason can through the above arrangement be readily traced back to the progenitor, assisted by the number of each generation given at the margin of each page. The abbreviations are: b., born; d., died; m., married; gen., gen- eration. These families will be known and spoken of as follows: New Jersey Bortons. Ohio Bortons, descendants of Benjamin, Sr. of the IVth gen., immigrated to Gurnsey Co., Ohio, 1804. Samuel, Sr., of the Vth gen., immigrated to Stark Co., Ohio, 1208. Daniel, Sr., of the Vth gen., immigrated to Stark Co., Ohio, 1810. Josiah, Sr., of the IV th gen., immigrated to Clinton County, Ohio, 1812. Sons of Bethuel, of the Vth gen., immigrated to Fulton County, Ohio, 1836 to 1839. Indiana Bortons, Ira Borton, and Sons of Samuel, Jr., VIth gen., 1·mmigrated from Stark County, Ohio, 1858. Masons, "Evesham" Burlington County, New Jersey. Masons, Ohio branch, descendants of John Mason, of the 5th gen., who immigrated to Fulton County, Ohio, 1839. In preparing this history of the Borton and Mason families, search has been made in Friends Records of monthly meetings in Philadelphia, Pa., and also in Friends Records, London, England, also local church records in that country. A thorough search in the Congressional Library, \Vashington, D. C., also, in Friends Library, Philadelphia, and in the University Library, Urbana, Ill., and all books have been examined that would probably give information with regard to the history or genealogy of these families. We have given the biographies of noted persons in the Mason family, compiled in part by Miss Eleanor Lexing­ ton, while others have been taken from Encyclopedias and other authen­ tic sources of information. vVhile the present work has to do with the DORTO,\' Fc\:111 L \

Evesham New Jersey branch of the family, we believe a short history of the family at large will not cause a lack of interest in the work.

THE BORTONS IN EUROPE.

The ending of the name in "ton," and the location of a town named Bourton in Gloucestershire, a county adjoining that of Northampton, would indicate that the ancestors of John, the immigrant to America, were of Norman origin, and were no doubt one of the tribes who came into England at the time of the Conquest in 1o66; and that Bourton in Gloucestershire was their county seat, and which was devised to them by William the Conqueror. Tradition says that the chief of this tribe was John of Bourton, and that later the crest on the arms was a boar's head. \Ve quote the following from Joseph Besse's "Collections of the Sufferings of the People Called Friends for the Testimony of a Good Conscience." Two Vol., London, 1753. "In 1 mo., 1660, John Bett and John Borton, of Aino, Northampton­ shire, were taken out of their own houses by soldiers, and committed to prison for refusing the oaths. Also, in the year 1665, John Bett, John Borton, Edward Hardley and John Holcroft, (poor laborers) had their goods taken by distress for a fine of four shillings each, imposed for four weeks' absence from their parish church." In the year 1674, Oxfordshire; taken by distress for meetings this year, from John Holcroft, John Borton and Thomas Mercer, 1 pound, 15 shillings. From a search made in Friends' 1<.ecords, London, it is probable that John, the immigrant, with Ann, his wife ,were the only converts to the Friends' faith in the Borton family; and being persecuted not only by the established church of England, but possibly by members of his O\vn family, he sought a home and refuge in the new country. He became a Friend, as shown above, many years prior to immigration; and the dates of births of all of his children except the youngest daughter, who was born in America, are to be found in Friends' Records of Eng­ land. There are Bortons who still reside at Aynho and vicinity, and all Bortons in America, so far as known, descended from John and Ann; and the ancestry in all cases has so far been traced back to these pro­ genitors. In Samuel Smith's History of the Colony of New Caesaria, or New BORTON FAMILY

Jersey, 1765, page 151-152, "Transactions of the Assembly of \Vest New Jersey, Session 1682, 1st to rrth, 1 mo.," states that John Borton was chosen in connection v,·ith \Villiam Brightwen for constable of London tenth. John Borton in his will left his sons, John Jr. and William, shares which he owned in the above named tenth. Throughout the county of Burlington, a tenth of land was considered as 32,000 acres and the inhabitants thereof were entitled to ten representatives in the General Assembly of \Vest Jersey, which Assembly was empowered to appoint persons to fill all public offices from Counsellors to Constable. We have been able to trace the genealogy of the Borton Family, in America, back to John Borton and Anne, his wife, who came from the Parish of Aynho, Northampton county, England, in the year 1679, in company with several families of Friends. In this company of Colonial Immigrants were the progenitors of the Gardiner, Moore, Prickitt, Evans, Collins, Engle, and Troth families. John Borton, with Anne, his wife, and seYen children, two boys and five girls, settled at Hillsdown, on the Northampton River, now known as Ran cocas Creek, New J ersesy. The land which he entered was a tract in Evesham township, now Mount Laurel, Burlington county, ~ew Jersey. The tract of land extended from a line now occupied by the Mount Holly and Moorestown turn pike to Rancocas Creek, and was known as the "Borton Tract." his six daughters, but does not name them John Borton died at Hillsdown in the year 1687, leaving a will dated 28th day of the 5th month, and proved the 11th month and 14th day of the same year. He named his son John and \Villiam and enumerates The "Borton Tract" of land, by will, became the property of John Jr. and William; and from them to their descendants. A portion heired by John Borton Jr., he felt to his son John, from whim it descended to his son, Abram Borton. Abram was a son of John Borton and Elizabeth Lon!. He married Rachel Engle. They had a son, Uriah Borton, who married Mary Collins. He heired a portion of the "Borton Tract" on which he lived, :i.n

John Borton, Jr., and \Villiam Borton purchased land on North­ ampton River, Burlington County, New Jersey, in ro mo., r68r, one hundred and seventy-five acres, and one hundred and fifty acres respec­ tively. Certificate of removal of John Borton, the Immigrant, from Eng­ land to America. John Borton and Anne, his wife, of Hillsdown on the "Northampton River," Burlington County, New Jersey, came from the Parish of Aynho, Northamptonshire, England, bringing a certificate from the monthly meeting of Borton, in Oxfordshire, dated 3rd month, the 5th, 1697, 0. S., and signed by a number of persons who vouch that they have "Known ye sd John and Anne Borton these many years, and that they have walked honestly among us, living in the fear of God and in obedience to the blessed truth revealed in this our day, and have been of a good savor to friends and to their neighbors in ye village where they dwell."

It may seem ;;trange. but yet we believe it to Le true, that the orig·inal log house. built by John Borton. the immigrant in 1682, is still in existence and is being put to daily use. This building is about r8x24 feet in si;;,:e and :-ne and one-half stories in height, and is made of hewn Red Cedar logs, brought do\\ n to a uniform size of 4-6 inches. It was formerly a part of the residence of John Borton Jr., and later of Pember­ ton. Sec page illustration. In 1850, it was moved from the "Borton Tract" to '.\Iaso11\·ille. the distance of one mile, by Charles Darnell. It has hee11 resided without and plastered within and is occupied for store purposes hy .\. :\. Zelley. See cut on page opposite. \Vhat proof do we ha\·e as to it,; identity? First, it formed a home on the "Borton Tract," and is built of Red Cedar, a timber which dces not decay. It was built before sa\\' mills were introduced into Burlington county, New Jersey,_ as with access to mills 110 one wQttld incur so great an expense, in pre­ paring the material; further. the logs have been hewn by an expert. The \Hiter has ohsen·ed much timber craft ancl knows full vvell that a broad-ax cannot he skillfully used, except by one who has been carefully trained. and has had much practice with that tool and the person who did this work in so early a day must have come from the ship-yards (>f England.

III. A Testimony from Evesham Monthly ::\fee ting in X ew Jersey, Concerning Obadiah Borton. "He was bd'rn in the township of Evesham, Kew Jersey, in the year 17o8 and the influence of di,·ine grace made early impression on his mind whilst young in years, which led him to love solitude and sobriety, and to shun those vices incident to youth. About the twenty-second year of his age, a dispensation of gospel ministry was committed to him. He was very awful at times in his public approach before the di,·ine maje~ty in prayer, and often engaged to exhort friends to humility, and to shun arrogancy and pride, being a good example herein himself; so that his upright, innocent deportment, gained him the good esteem of his friends and others. He departed this life the 7th of the seventh month, 1761, age fifty-three years. A minister thirty-one years and was buried at Evesham, New Jersey."

0 : emorrhage of the brain, lfr. Borton had been in the continuous service of the \Vilcox & Gibbs Company for over twenty-five years. Some of Borton's inventions are marvels of the sewing machine industry. For \Yillcox & Gibbs alone, he took out over fifty patents. His woncleriul mechanical mind was specially directed towards the in­ vention and perfection of high-class sewing machines capable of being operated at great speed, with the maximum productive power and con­ sequent reduced cost to manufacturers. One of Borton's inventions had particular reference to the upholstery trade, namely. the O\·erlock Lace Edger. This machine was primarily clesig-ned for finishing underwear, on which work it is extensively used, but it was soon found to he of even greater service for making a strong and sightly edge on lace curtains. It is estimated that since 1896, when the Overlock corded edge first appeared on the market, upwards of 250,000,000 pairs of lace curtains have been finished on this nnchine. Jt is to inventors like Borton that a large part of the material prosperity of the united States in the manufacturing line is due. :fost of :-Ir. f;)rton's work in connection with the \\'illcox & Gibbs machines invented by him had been for a number of years carried on at the Brown & Sharp ;\1anufacturing Comp:rny's works, Providem:e, R.

\\'m. Borton, Esq., then deli\·ered an alldress, the ·•Jiistnv oi Pennyroyaldom," as follows: :\fr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemer, :-Dy reference to the pro­ gramme you will see that the duty assigned to me is to gi\·e a brief history of Pennyroyalctom. -:\Iany inquiries are made as to the meaning of Pennyroyaldom, its boundaries and how the name originaterl, etc. In answer I will stat¼ that my grandfather. Benjamin Borton. emigrated to this township from the State of );°ew Jersey in 180.+ ancl sett1ed on the line of the Old \\'heeling Road. leading irom \\'heeling to Zanes­ ville, said road haYing been pre\·iously marked out by Colonel Zane under a contract with the go\·ernment. Pennyroyal, being of a spon­ taneous growth, soon made its appearance upon the newly cleared lands; and he, haying learned the art of distilling it in the State of ~e\\' Jersey, soon commenced the process of di"tilling the well known oil of penny­ royal in this township; and his sons. grandsons, and great-g-randsons have kept it up e,·er since. The pennyroyal plant is a nati\'e of .'\orth America and differs from the English pennyroyal ancl all other planb having the same name and posse,-ses \'alualile medical qualities. Uut the name Pennyroyaldom, as applied to Oxford tO\\'nship. is compara­ tively of recent date and originated from a reply of our worthy citizen, Mr. Morris Morton, while Commi:--sioner oi the county, to some com­ plaint in reference to high taxe~. "that \\"hen every thing ebe failed \Ve would go out and pull pennyroyal enough to pay them:· and at the ex­ piration of l\1r. Jonathan Rose·s term of office as County Commissioner, also of Oxford township, at a social meeting called by him, it was said to be "in honor of Pennyroyaldom." Its boundaries are not limited, but Oxford township is claimed to be the center. But a ·'history'· of penny­ royaldom means something more than has been said and indeed more than time will permit to be said on this occasion. Hence we will con­ tent ourselves ·with a few facts and incidents connected with it, some of which are written and others traditional. Guernsey county was erected or organized in 1810 from territory formed by territory formerly included in the counties of Belmont ancl :\1 uskingum and was so called because a large number of its inhabitants were from the Isle of Guernsey. James Killon of "Tinker Hill" in Oxford township was one of the first Commissioners. Oxford tO\vnship was organized, of course, at the same time, but there is no record until the year 1813. Wm. Borton: Last year I was restricted to a history of pennyroyal; today I am free to say what I will, but have no speech. I will refer only to three circumstances: In 1833, when I was only seven years old, in the days of. horse mills, people got up early. :My father rose early one morning to go to the horse mill. He found the heavens ablaze with meteors, seemingly falling like snow flakes, and as thick and fast. He wakened the family, and I saw the great sight, and it so impressed me that I remember it vividly to this day. l\iy father went on to the mill, GENEALOGY. 105 whilst e\·erybody else, through alarm. stayed at home. He soon got his grinding. He ever prided himself upon the courage which made him go. The second incident ,vas at school at Center, when Daniel Patterson announced to the astounded pupils that there would be a "Polemic." Yes, a "Polemic." \Vhat that horrible thing was I could not imagine, for the teacher was a terror. Samuel F. and Robert Armstrong and \\' illiam Ferrell knew something of it. It was explained. \Ve were to debate, "\\'hich is the most useful animal, the cow or the horse?'' I was put up barefooted for the horse. }Iy speech was, "You can go to mill on a horse, and you can't on a cow." The horse wo11. The other incident is as to my procuring a school certificate, in rRi8, from Charles Armour, before the school system of the state was reformed. I went with fear and trembling. J. 0. Grimes was in the office, with his feet on the table. Grimes' sole was worn. I wished him out of my sight. "Bound Ohio," said Armour. I did, and told its capital. '''What is the capital of Pennsylvania?" he asked. I had fortunately just heard and answered .. I was proud of the beautifully printed and elegantly filled certificate he ga\·e me. He \vas a pretty \\Titer.

THE PENNYROYAL REUNION. This annual gathering is held in the township of Oxford, Guernsey county, Ohio. It was in this tO\Ynship that Benjamin Borton and Charity Rogers, his wife, located a home of one section of land in the year 1804 and many of their descendants still reside in the locality of the early home, hence \\·e haye thought proper to insert some extracts from letters sent to. ancl speeche,; made at this re-union. b)· ;;ome of those connected with and de,;cendecl from Benjamin Horton. Col. J. D. Taylor and Hon. \\'m. Borton \Yere on the prog-ram to speak on the ''Recollections of Old Center.'' The former was absent, but the latter responded as follows: I clo no.t consider myself a Yery olcl man. and to gi\·e me this. subject is not a compliment to a man of mv looks and age; but. after thinking the matter oyer. I find that I can go back pretty far in the past. .\nd to do so \\·e must lea\·e these green fields, the,;e pre,;ent im- 1)1"0,·ements-leaYe the mowing machine and the threshing machine­ ancl we find ourseh-es in imagination in an unbroken forest. "·h~ re the tinkle of the cowbells, the sharp crack of the hunter';; rifle or the hea\·y stroke of the woodman\ axe are the only sounds to break the solemn stillness. .\nd to come to old Center: The original house \\'a~ burned down, and one erected near the present :--ite of he\\'ed log,;. :\ly first teacher's name was .-\nguii,h. and I thought that the man·s name and nature corresponded, for he did put more anguish into his administra­ tion than I thought to be proper. He taught a loud school. where eYery scholar studied out loud, ancl the noise produced was a perfect bedlam. Here be ga,·e a specimen of 1·eading. "A hung-ry hear in walking- mood, came from a leafy neighboring wood." etc. Then a man named Patter­ son taught for a number of years. Oh, those long. dreary years, to me. at least. I went into the room a little late my first morning and began out loud to get my lesson, when both teacher and scholars commenced laughing. The custom hacl been changed. I remember of going to the old Pisgah church to hear Rev. Keil, who is still living. anct it was be­ fore the floor was laid. Strangely enough, I can ~till reme111ber tlie GENEALOGY. text to thi., dav: "For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the stms of Cud." Clyde, Cloud Co., Kansas, A.ugust ro, r88r. To My Friends of Pennvrovalclom :- It is impossible to -be ·"vith you in the flesh. but I am with you 111 ,.;pirit at your grand re-union today. There can be no passion, no emo­ tion any purer than that which bears us back to the spot which was the cradle of our chilclhood. the playground of our hoyhoocL the theatre of our manhood.

I find that the first settlers within the present limits of Franklin and the olcl limits of Brady, were Joseph Bates and family, who in 1832 settled on the southeast quarter of section 2, town 7, north range 4 east, and all this country for years was known as the Bates settlement. From a letter from his daughter, combined with the statement of several of the first settlers, I ha \'e obt;;inecl the following sketch of Mr. Bates' life, which had become almost legenclary, but I have been very careful to give only the facts on which the majority agree. Joseph Bates was born in Vermont in the year l 787. From Vermont he went to Canada, where he married Harried Dodge, by whom he had eight children, four sons and four daughters, who came with him to vVilliams county. Truman. who 1110\·ed with the Packards to Missouri in 1840; Thomas, who died on the Isthmus of Panama, while on his way to California about 1849; Joseph, who died in Iowa in 1867 or 1868; James, who now resides in Boon county, Iowa; Harriet, Mrs. Theron Landon; Belinda, Mrs. War­ ren Hancock; Mary, Mrs. Cyrus Barrett, and Elizabeth, Mrs. Hiram Alvord, now of Reading, Michigan. Mr. Bates moved from Canada to New York, and from there he moved to Richland county, Ohio, where he settled in a very early clay. In the summer and winter of 1830 and 1831, Ezekiel Masters says: "He took his gun, dogs, bear and wolf traps and I 50 muskrat traps and came to Harden county, where he hunted and trapped till spring and lived on muskrats and other game which he caught or shot. He bought his land in Williams county with the money 120 BORTON FAMILY

foat he got for the bear's oil and skins. wolf scalps. coon. rnttskrat and be,·er s1<:ins. and had $130 in money left.'' In February. 1832, in the dead of winter, he started with his family for his new home, and cut his road through an unbroken wilderness from Ottawa to Defiance, and stopped a short time with John Perkins at Brunersburg. From there he went to where Pulaski now stands, and cut the road through to wi1at is now the Shilling's farm ,vhere he li\'ed for three days in his wagon until he built a cabin. The cabin stood near the confluence of Bates and Ayres runs. on the iarm now owned by John Shillings, and his nearest neighbor was Mr. Opdyke, 12 miles away. Here he cleared some land and raised the first grain within the present limits of Fulton county, hut spent the greater portion of his time hunting and trapping. In the spring of 1835 he v;as elected the first supervisor. and the first fence viewer in Springfield township. On June 7. 1836. his daughter, Harriet. married Theron Landon, who was the first person married in what afterwards became Millcreek township. and Miss Bates the first in the old limits of Brady, and no doubt the first within the limits of Fnlton county. In 1840 he sold his farm to \Vm ...\yres and bought of .\she1· Ely, the farm now owned by Jacob Schenk in sections 10 ancl r 1. He first lived in a log house which stood in the field southwest of the present graveyard. Here on the 20th of March, 1845, his first wife died. and the following year he married :\frs. Joseph Borton, a sister of Ben­ jamin, Na than, John and Job Borton, who are so well kno\\'n throug-hou t this country. In the year 1852 he erected a large frame ta\'ern. which was the first within the present limits of Franklin township, which he ran for a number of years, and the huilding remained as an old land­ mark till December 30, 1885, when it was destroyed by fire. He callecl it "J. Bates' Inn," and it was largely patronized, as the Angola road was then the great thoroughfare for travelers and the movers to their west­ ern homes. He and Theron Landon cut and logged out the ..\ngola road from Joseph Ely's to his place, and Mr. Cogswell cut the road irom there to Cogswell's corners, west of the St. Joe. 11r. Bates liYecl on this farm till 1861, when he moved to Iowa and died in Storey county of that state, August 1, 1866, at an advanced age of 79 years. VI. Benjamin Borton, son of Bethuel Borton and Rebecca Cliffton, mar­ ried Abigail Borton. Abigail was a daughter of Isaac Borton and Sarah Peacock and a sister of Sarah Cliffton. Their children were:- Sarah, b. 6-12 mo., 1836; m. Thomas Heaton, b. 27-6 mo., 1828. Lydia G., b. 18-5 mo., 1839; 111. Daniel Prickitt. Abigail died 23-r 1 mo., 1861 and Benjamin married Elizabeth Wright. No issue by the last marriage. . Daniel Prickitt, son of Japeth Prickitt and Phebe Sharp Borton, daughter of Josiah Borton and Margaret Sharp, married Lydia G. Borton. Josiah Borton came to Lumberton, Ohio, from New Jersey, in 1812.

Later Ben­ jamin and Aaron Borton came to Fulton county, Ohio, and Benjamin bought the Packard farm of 160 acres, slightly imprO\·ed, for which he paid $1,800, which he occupied the remainder of his life. He went back to New Jersey and moved his family to Ohio, in 1839, in company with the families of John Mason and John Cliffton.

two hundred and thirty-six bed chambers, single and in suite, and the hotel can accomodate four hundred and eighty-six guests. It is equipped with forty-eight private baths and four salt water baths. The ground occupied is 85 by 200 feet, and the building is five stories high, and the largest in the state of New Jersey. Joseph H.

He also helped both by his money and influence to further all business and municipal improvements. The first lumber company, water works, sewerage company, and all of the railroads which enter the city. None of these early projects could be considered profitable.

In a letter \nitten by Samuel Borton. dated ~Iarlborough. Ohio, _30-12 1110 .. r852. some h\·e years before his decease, he portrays his belief as to the Great Ruler of the Cni\·erse in the follo\ving stanzas. That there must be a Great Supreme, \\'ho rules both land and sea, ..\ncl the planets in their orbits roll, \\'ith such ,·elocitv.

He hears the young ra,·ens when thev crv, He formed the lions' den, And to the Pelican in the wilderness, He sustenance cloth send.

\ \'hy should we not such a being lo\·e? ..\ncl attend each secret call, [-;'or if he protection should withdraw, \\·e must into anniliation fall.

Rare Family Picture. Four Generations Now Living on James W, Matlack's Wea Farm. Review of Lives and Ancestry.

One could tra\·el far and not find many houses \\'herein exi,;ts a family such as exists in a Tippecanoe county household. On a beautiiul \Vea farm, three miles south of the city, four \Yomen reside \\·ho repre­ sent four generations of a single family. the youngest member of \\·hich unique quartette is twenty-four years olcl and the elcle,;t is nearing her ninety-seconcl year. The "Call" takes pride in today presenting a group picture of these women. Their li\·es encompass the major portion of the country's !iistory. for that reason being doubly interesting·. Their home is the James \\·. ~fatlack farm. These four women are aged respectively: ~lrs. Deborah Fox. 91: ~Irs. James\\·. ~Iatlack. (J~: ~!rs. Deborah ~Iunn, 44: ~Iiss Belle ~I unn. 2--J.. By far the most interesting member of this unu.,ual family group. is the great-grandmother. She is in the fullest possession of all her faculties and is yery good natured. She is an entertaining talker and loves to tell of her Quaker ancestry, of her girlhood clay,; spent on her native ~ew Jersey heath and of her early experiences in the lane\ of her adoption, Indiana, the dearest state of them all to her. She fell on the ice about a year ago and since has been unable to walk. ::\1rs. Fox was born June 15. 1811. in :'\e\Y Jersey, in what 1s now Camden county. The first member of the family to come to the l,T11ited States was her grandfather, Samuel Borton, who emigrated from Eng­ land, landing in :'\ ew York ancl going to :'\ ew Jersey, where he settled in Eavesham township. The grandmother of ~Irs. Fox picked huckle­ berries \vhere Market street. Philadelphia. no\,. runs. Samuel Borton was a speaker in the Primitive Society of Friends, being a prominent worker in that faith. One of ~Irs. Fox's most cherished possessions is the old book of Quaker articles of faith, possessed by her grandfather. This hook is bound in leather ancl is entitled ".\ Treatise Concerning Christian Discipline.'' It was printed in the year 17_=;2 and as it bears no publisher's name was probably printed secretly as the Quakers were then among the persecuted of the earth. Its title page gi\·es the in­ formation that it was "Compiled with the .-\ch·ice of a :'\ ational :'.\Ieeting of the People Called Quakers in the Year 1746, Held in Dublin," by John Rutty, M .D. It is cli\·iclecl into seYen chapters, which comprise all the early beliefs of this peculiar sect. In the preface the author sets forth his object as two-fold, to clo justice to a people represented as en­ thusiasts and madmen ancl to gain com·erts by their teachings. He says Mary A. E. Matlack, Deborah Hunt Fox, Deborah E. Munn, Olla A. Strasser, Carl Kenneth Strasser

GENEALOGY. also that his faith i,:; anomalous to the Church of England in as far as wishing for a restoration of the godly discipline of the primitive church. The hook bears all the characteristics of the printing facilities of that early day. It hears on the fly leaf this signature, ''Samuel Borton, His Dook.'' 1780. }Irs. Fox has been offered a large sum of money for this rare old Yolume, hut has steadfastly refused to part v:ith it. }Irs. Fox tells an interesting anecdote of this vigorous ancestor of hers. Being a member of the Society of Friends when the ,Nar of the Re,·olution hroke out, he did not participate directly in the struggle of the colonies. It so happened one clay he was a passenger on a boat which ,,·as attacked by a party of Britishers. In the hostilities which follm,·ed, the redcoats ,,·ere successful in getting to the side of the American boat. .-'\ rope \\'as dangling enticingly over the edge of the deck and up this rope the British soldiers started hand over hand. Sam­ uel Borton, leaning· o,·er the edge of the deck, whipped out his knife, shouting as he cut the rope in t,,·ain, "Take the rope if thee desire it, but I guess ,,·e still need the boat." That was a typical Quaker method of a,·oidi11g the shedding of blood and yet corning off triumphant. It was the total extent of his participation in that eventful war. Among her other relics \Yhich ha \·e come clown to her as heirlooms, are t,,-o pe,\'ter platters, rare olcl daguerreotypes, shadow pictures, ancient china and pottery, and a handsomely engraved silver cream pitcher. The pewter platters are twenty-four and twenty inches in dia­ meter respecti\·ely. }Irs. Fox says they are identical with those which were melted clo\\'n into bullets by the colonists. They are extremely plain, ha\·ing no markings other than those incidental to long usage. They were not to eat from but vvere used to contain meats and table dishes. The collection of daguerreotypes and shadow pictures is quite large and emboclies ,·aluahle portraits of many of her ancestors. This collection is treasured by her for the old associations it keeps fresh in her mine! and which this dear old lady never tires of telling about. The cream pitcher i:; hancl engra,·ecl anrl is clecicleclly handsome from an ar­ tistic point of vie\\· as \\·ell as valuable intrinsically. The china and pottery are largely of the eighteenth century and comprises many beau­ tiful pieces. There are plates, saucers, dessert dishes, cups and bowls. Besides these valuable possessions there is the baby rocker in which Mr. Fox herself used as a child and which has perfromecl the same duty for the other three members of the quartette. It is of wood and was can'ecl by hand. It has been laid a,vay to await the coming of succeed­ ing generations. 1\Irs. Fox as :!\Iiss Deborah Borton, was wooed and won by Samuel C. Fox, in her natin Xew Jersey in r83r. They continued to reside in that state until the year 1856, when they removed to Indiana. Mr. Fox was a lifelong Democrat and \'Otecl the ticket until the famous campaign of r86o. He cast his vote that vear for the great emancipator. It was 204 BORTO'.\ FAMILY his last vote, for the day that Lincoln was inaugurated. :'.\larch 4. r86r, his final summons came. His last words ,sere, "Thank Goel I didn't vote for Douglass!" Mr. and Mrs. Fox vvere the parents of two children, both of whom are living. They are Mrs. James Matlack, born as Mrs. Fox quaintly say~., "in first grass," in 1833, and Thom Fox, born in ''tater diggin'" 1836. With the former, Mrs. Fox now resides, while the latter is a prosperous merchant in Knoxville, Tenn. Mr. Fox was the first person ouried in the Sickler cemetery, where now sleep many respected old pioneers of the county. There are six grandchildren and five great­ grandchildren of this estimable old couple living. Three of the former reside in Tennessee and three in this county. Of the latter three live in Tennessee and two in old Tippecanoe. ~\s pround as :'.\Irs. Fox is of her ancestry and their honorable careers, she feels a deeper interest in those who have come after her. The next oldest of this quartette is :'.\Irs. James :'.\1atlack, \\·hose birth date was noted above. She was married March 17, 18.s r, in .?\ ew Jersey, her husband being of English descent and a nati\·e of tliat state. Mr. Matlack is well and fa\·orably kno\\'n throughout the count\'. They are the parents of Deborah Munn, the next oldest, who \YaS born in 1868 in Indiana. Miss Belle l'vfunn, the youngest of the four women, was born December 22, 1878, and is still unmarried. She also is a nati\·e of Indiana. This is in brief, a history of the representati\·es of the four gener- ations. They enjoy a large acquaintance in Tippecanoe county a.n

The Mason Family, by Eleanor Lexington.

The first \\·ho assumed the name :\Iason doubtless derived it from his occupation. It is supposed that the word comes from the old Latin, macio, or it may be a modification of marcio, from marcus, a ha111- :,1er. ..\faceria, the Latin word, meaning a stone wall, has for its root mac. In ltaiian we find the macigno means a stone lap-mill. Le ..\fason, le Masson, le Masun are old forms oi the name. lu­ French it is Macon . .Mason is a favorite name in this country for counties, that is, many in eastern and western states are thus named. A township in North­ umberland, England, is called Mason. Shall we say, without more ado, that it was the cradle of the Masons? Perhaps it was. One of the pleasures of genealogical research is that much must be left to the imagination. 208 MASON FA~HLY

One of the first of the name, of whom records are presenecl, is Charles Mason, born 1616. He was a minister and a writer. Some of his letters are presen·ed in the British :Museum. There are also :\ISS. of his in the Bodician Library. Archdeacon Francis 1Iason was born in Norfolk, of poor parents. He rose to power, through his 0\Vn efforts, "after making a hard shift to rub on,'' as he expresses it. :\Iartin Mason, son of John Mason, "gent.'' of Lincoln. was a Friend, who was continually being imprisoned for his opinions. He was con­ cerned in the controversy about wearing the hat during prayer. He took a broad-minded view of this question, and said: ''\\'hat matter \Vhether the hat be on or off, so long as the heart be right?" He \H~te an ad­ dress to Charles II, which was consiclered so forcible and able a cloctt- . rnent that it was printed broaclsicle. John :\Ionch :\Iason was a Shakespearean commentator. and Sir Joseph :\lason won lasting fame b)' not dying· rich. He 1,,as one of the rich men of his day, and worth half a million. lie founded the Scientific College at Birmingham.

Another pilgrim ancestor was Robert, who was one of \Vinthrop's company that settled in Roxbury, 1630. His son Thomas, one of the founders of Medfield, Mass., was a subscriber to the building fund of Hanarcl college. Thomas's wife ,vas Mary Partridge, descendant of Richard De Pertriche. }lajor John, born in ,England in 1600, after serving- in the N:ether­ lands under Fairfax, came over to take a hand in subduing the Indians. He made short work of the Pequots. By his prompt measures a hand­ ful of men within a few weeks annihilated the powerful trible and se­ cured a general peace that lasted unbroken forty years. He then sat down, pen in hand, and wrote a history of the Pequot war. He was one of the founders of \Yinclsor, Conn., and for thirty years held successively every office in the gift o fthe to,vn. Truly a right worthy and noble ancestor! His son, Captain John, inherited the splendid traits of his i;Justrious father. Tracing the line from "Pequot John," we come to Daniel of Lebanon, Conn.,. and his wife, Dorothy Hobart. Here we must pause a moment, for she was the daughter, several times remoYed, as might be said. of a hundred earls, not to mention a few krngs.

Thomas Shourds married Sarah Thompson. daughter of Joseph Thompson ancl ,-\1111 Mason, a descendant of John :.\Iason. John and Thomas landed in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1683, and were no doubt cousins of John ::VIason who settled in Evesham about 1677. Search has been made in England, parish records of \Vinchcomb, and all others in Gloucestershire, also ,·arious records in this countv, but positi,·e proof gi\·ing the exact relationship could not be secured. .-\fter gi\·ing quotations taken from Shourd's History, we append data taken from Colonial Records, Trenton, ~ew Jersey, and also from accounts of treasurer of Salem county, Xew Jersey, rr mo., 1720 to 1728 in­ clusive. :.\fason Family-Shourds' History and Genealogy of Fenwick's Colony of Salem county, l\ ew Jersey, pages r 50- r .V• ''John :'\fason \\·as a native of Gloucestershire, Engfand, and resided in the parish of \Vinchcomh. He emigrated to :-\.merica when a young­ man, and landed at Philadelphia in 1683. Soon afterward he came to Salem to liYe, and purchased a town lot in the town, containing sixteen acres. It lay on the south side of Broadway and was bounded on the west by Samuel Hedge's land. He erected a brick house there and li\·ecl in it for some time. In 1685 he purchased 5,000 acrel> of land. * * * * * * * .\bout the year 1690 John 11ason purchased of Rog-er Mil­ ton, r,ooo acres oi upland and salt marsh in the township of Elsinboroug-h. It was hounclecl on the east by Samuel ~icholson's allotment of 2,000 acres; on the west by Redroc Morris' land. In 1695 he built a substantial brick dwelling, left Salem, and liYecl on his landed estate before de­ scribed. In 1704 he built a large addition to it, which made it one of the largest brick dwellings that was in the county at that early day. Tohn Mason married Sarah Smith, daughter of John Smith of Ambelbury; she \\'as horn near London. England, 27th of IO mo., r67r. (Births of children as in Salem :.\,Io. :.\Ig. Records). He owned land in various parts in Fenwick tenth. He purchased considerab'.e tract of land in Momnouth precinct of Anna Salter, erected a flour mill about 17o_c;. * * * * * He was appointed a commissioner for the public highways in 17o6; was a member of the legislature for two or three years, and one of the Justices of Salem county for a number of years. He was a large lanclholcler in the state of Delaware, likewise in Pennsylvania in the neighborhood of Chester. His descendants are not . very numerous. There are none at the present time by the name of Mason of his descend­ ants in this country. John Goodwin J;ason, who died in 18J9, was the last of the male descendants. There are quite a number in the female line who are direct descendants of John Mason, the emigrant." "It is probable Thomas Mason emigrated from England to \Vest 24(; MASON FAMILY

Religious and Fraternal Affiliations

In compiling this "History of the Borton and Mason Families," we should consider our task only partially completed, were we to omit men­ tion of the religious, political and fraternal status taken by the members of these families. The early fathers who immigrated to America were fruits of the religious reform inaugurated by George Fox, in England, in 1643. The Society of Friends to which these immigrants adhered was greatly pros­ pered until the coming of Elias Hicks. through whose teachings a split ,Yas ca\lsed in the original church, in the year 1827. At this time and pre\·ious. many Friends \\·ere immigrating from "'.\ew Jersey to Ohio and I11diana. \Yhich \\·a-; then k1101\·11 as the "Far \\'c:st '' The Friends \1·ho thti:-; sought new homes. in many instances rearPd np ne·,: ;:hurche~. either ortlwdox or H ixite. according to their faith.

one hundred and twenty-five years since, of little or no consideration in a pecuniary point of view. So that, upon reflection, whatever may now appear to ha,·e been the disparity between his real and personal estate-a disparity brought about by the lapse of more than a centurv, which has diminished in our estimation the value of the _one, ancl in­ creased, almost beyond proportion, that of the other-we may fairly conclude, that there is nothing in the circumstance referred to, cal­ culatecl to excite unfavorable suspicion of the title by which the property was held by Daniel Jones, and, as far as \H h;n-e heen ahle to lear.n, no com·eyance \Vas made by him of the estate in question. Indeed. he cliecl shortly after it became his, and the probability of his ha,·ing- trans­ ferred it to others. is diminished hy that consideration. There is an­ other circumstance which infalliaiJ!y shmYs that he. as II ell as his immediate heirs, died, seized of the chief part. if nut all. of the real e,tate, the cleecls for which ha1·e been sulimitted to us. It appears. that in the year r768 Rebecca __-\spclen ancl Daniel Packer, t\1·0 of the children of Rebecca Packer. the only child of Daniel Jones. executed a deed 11·here­ in they recite the title in their g-rancliather to certain real e,;tate, and that recital accords with the description of the estate 11011· claimed. \\'e :nay therefore say that the property in queqion came unimpaired in•., the h;rncls of the grandchildren, ,·iz., Samuel.

'\ow, ,Yhether this were true or false matter,; hut little in regar.l to our claims. If Rebecca and Daniel \\'ere the only ,;ur1·in1ig· chilclrc;i, they were certainly not the only children, and it is equal!,· certain tli;Jt the orher t\\'o children of Rebecca. Yiz .. Samuel and Rhoda, left 11umcrc•11, io.sue or o:fspring, some oi 11·hom are still ali\'e, ancl all of 1Yho1:i a,·~ kga!lY represented in this claim. Thi,; being the case. the deed rder:·e,l tu coulcl, of course. coll\·ey no right or title that \\'as not po,;,;e,;-;er\ by -the grantors. They may ha1·e been the only children. hut thn· 1\-cre not the only heirs. Hence, we take it a,; pretty well establi,;hed th;it ,!011 ;1 to the time of the grandchildren, 110 appropriation incornpatilJlc 11·i~h our claim had been macle of the real estate in dispute. and there i,; no reason to suppose that since that time no appropriation has been r,iacle. A.s to the second question. or that ha ,·ing relation to the Statute ui Limitations, \Ye can on'y olisen-e, that \\'e haye heen much at a loss in respect to the chronolog;cal part of thi,: inquiry. and. consequently that if it were essentially necessary. \\'e should encounter great difficulty in coming to a satisfactory conclusion upon the subject. But \\'e are inclined to think that the case may he placed upon other ancl better footing. The present holders of the property may be con­ sidered as not holding ach·ersely. hut as tenants in common with the present claimants so that it is optional \\'ith us either to proceed by GENEALOGY. 257 ejectment, provided the statute should not bar us, or, if it should, we can at least proceed in partition against the present holders of the de­ hatable lands, as tenants in common with us of the larger right. no time can deprive us. After infinite labor and difficulty, and a most careful i11\'estigation of the documents and papers submitted to our inspection, and after ex­ tracting from among the rust and rubbish of near a centurv and a half, all the light that could be possibly derived, although certainlv less than might have been desired, we are inclined to the opinion :-First, that Daniel Jones had a complete legal title vested in him at the time of his death. which descended to the present claimants. Secondlv. that there is nothing in the deed from Daniel and Rebecca Packer calculated to affect our claim: and thirdly, that although the statute may bar an eject­ ment, the remedy of partition is still open to the claimants. \V m. Raule, Jr., D. P. Brown. February 25th, 1823. Affirmation of Rhoda (Packer) Borton. Rhoda Borton, aged about 84 years, residing in the county of Bur­ lington, in the state of New Jersey, in Evesham township. widow. Being­ duly affirmed on the part of the petitioners, deposes as follows: My father's name was Samuel Packer, called Samuel Tones Packer. and he sometimes put the Jones first. He was the son of Philip Packer of Pensauken. He(Philip) married Rebecca Jones; she was his second wife, and the daughter of Daniel and Mary Jones, as I have been told, the children of Philip Packer. by Rebecca Jones, were Samuel, Daniel. no other sons that I have any knowledge of: daughters. Rebecca, Martha, Rhoda, Mary, and I believe the name was Sarah, not Mary. Sarah mar­ ried John Carter, I don't know her children. I believe she left children. hut they were out of my knowledge. Rebecca married Roger Hartlev of Bucks county; she married secondly Matthias Aspden; her children by R. Hartley were Roger, James, Benjamin, Ann, Jennet, Bathsheba and Rebecca; I don't recollect any others, and am not sure I have stated them in the order of their birth; she left a child by Aspden, a son named Matthias, he was the only child that I know of. I was personally ac­ quainted with Matthias Aspden the younger, and with his mother while he went to England. I cannot tell if Roger Hartley the younger left any children; he was living in Pennsylvania some time ago. James and Benjamin are both dead; James left no children that I ever heard of; he died more than ten years ago, soon after I was married. Benjamin left daughters; I don't know of any sons, don't remember how many daughters nor their names, some of them married into the Brick familv. Ann, the daughter of the first Roger Hartley, is dead; she married Will­ iam Hinchman, she left children, one named Ann, another William, one 258 BORTON FAMILY

John, who is dead; he lived in :l\1oorestown. Jennet died a young- woman, unmarried. Bathsheba married a Na than Zanes and left two daug-hters and some sons, the daughters are living and I believe some of th.e sons are; the daughters were named .--\nn and Sarah. Ann married a man named Ellis, and Sarah a Champion; .\nn li\·ed recently near Haddon­ field, and Sarah in it. Rebecca, daughter of the first Roger Hartley, married Tohn Kay. now both dead, leaving children, whose names I do not konw. They have both been dead more than ten years. They left a son named Matthias; he is dead; he was married. I don't know if he left children; he died not a great while ago, perhaps eight or ten years. My father, Samuel Packer, had ten children, Parthena, Rebecca, Susan, Sarah, Ruth. myself (Rhoda), Daniel, John, and Eleanor. Parthena married \\'illiam Lopen. They are both dead; they died more than ten years ago, I ex­ pect. They left Uriah, Rhoda and Ravhel. their children. I can't tell if Uriah is living; he went to the new country; I understood his father went after him, but he must be deceased if he did. Rhoda married a man named Bailey, I don't know if she is dead or alive. Rachel, I don't know whether she married, or is living or dead. These are all the chil­ dren of Parthena I know of. Rebecca married Caldwell. They are both deceased; he has been dead many years and she too; they left one daughter named Sarah, a son Thomas, who died during the old war. Sarah married Thomas Sims and had some children. who are deceased. They had two grandchildren, I can't tell their names. Thomas left no children, Sarah, my sister, died childless; so did Samuel. Ruth married James Duffield; she is dead, dying in the time of the yellow fever in Philadelphia. She left Samuel, James and Rhoda. Then was also one Edward. Samuel is dead; he died an infant; James died a young- man, out at sea. I expect he died unmarried. John is living, Edward is liv­ ing; Rhoda is dead; she married James Reynolds. She died very lately, since the death of the testator. I married Samuel Borton. Daniel, my brother, has been dead many years. He left Samuel. John, Daniel, Susan, Elizabeth. These are all I can recollect. Samuel is living, I believe they are all living; there were children who died in infancy. Susan married Hugh Cox, Elizabeth is unmarried, my brother John is dead, leaving issue, his children were James, Edward, (I don't know which was first) Martha, Mary and John, John was the youngest. My brother John died a long time ago, more than thirty years ago. My husband has been dead more than thirty years. The children of my brother John are all living except John, who died twelve or thrteen years ago; he died a young man wi•thout children. My sister Eleanor married Amos Bee, they are both dead; he died a con­ sidera•ble time ago; she married again and died five or six years ago, her second husband was Isaiah Hunt, I think died before Matthias Aspden's death; her children by Amos Bee were Deborah, who died before her, GENEALOGY. 269

Samuel, Ephraim, Packer, Eleanor and Rebecca. Deborah died in in­ fancy. Samuel is dead, leaving no children that I know of. He died since his mother, about ten years ago. Ephraim died a,t seat, leaving no children, before his mother's death. Packer had one daughter; I don'f know whether she is dead or alive, the daughter is named Deborah, she is married. Eleanor Bee was twice married, her first husband was Isaac Leeds, her second was Joseph \Viley; she died I guess as much as seven years ago, her children are living for aughht I know. Charlotte is just married to Joseph Sickler, Mary Ann is living, unmarried, and Ruth, I believe, had children by Wiley I don't exactly remember. Haywood is one; he is living; they had a daughter who died a child. Rebecca Bee married Asa VanSciever, they are both living. Eleanor Bee had by her second husband Isaiah Hunt, Samuel, Rhoda and Isaiah; they are all living I believe. Rhoda married Jacob Sickler. Rhoda, my aunt, the daughter of Philip Packer and Rebecca Jones, married George Hammitt. They are dead many years ago, sixty years ago; they left children. They had Daniel, who died a young man unmarried, for all I have heard. George was the next, Samuel, Rhoda, Theodosia, Rebecca, Benjamin, Joseph, Sarah, Elias and Thomas. George is dead, he died many years ago, before I was married, he left children, one son Daniel an

or two others. Thomas Hammitt clied many years ago. I know nothing of his children. Being examined on the part of the complainant, the witness says I cannot say whether my father was older than my Uncle Daniel, but I rather expect so. ;\Iy father died first, some of us were young when my father died. :.Iy uncle Daniel left no children; he had one who died an infant. Daniel, my brother, was older than my brother John. I had but two brothers. My brother Daniel died about ten years after my marriage, as well as I can recollect. (Produces her marriage certificate. Married on the 11th of ?\oyember, 1766, Samuel Borton to Rhoda Packer). My uncle Daniel died about five or six years after my marriage. :My brother Daniel died ten or fifteen years before my hus­ band's death, which was about thirty years ago. Samuel was the oldest of my brother Daniel's sons. I cannot say if the oldest child, but believe he was. Samuel, my nephew, is living; I expect he is here now. Being examined on behalf of Job Packer, the witness says, I don't recollect a Philip Packer, who married Ann Coates. My g-randfather had a son Philip, ·who married ancl li,·ed in Pennsylvania; he ,vas not the son of Philip and Rebecca Jones, he was the son by a first wife. I remember a son of his namd Aaron, comig out of Pennsylvania to see my mother. I don't know the name of the first wife, he was an old man when he married my grandmother. I have heard my mother say that his head wa, as white as a sheet. I had not a good chance of knowing the Philip Pack­ er's family of Pennsylvania. I knew my grandmother very well; she came and stayed with my mother; perhaps I was then two years old. Being examined on the part of Jone Zane and Isaac Zane, the ,vit­ ness says, Matthias Aspden, the testator, his brother, James Hartley and waiting man came to our house after they returned from England, not long afterwards, a few years perhaps, Matthias Aspden, the testator, went with his father to England to get his, the father's eyes coached. This was when I was about fourteen or fifteen years old; he wrote to his mother that he was then going to school in England. I don't re­ member when he went to England a second time. They came to see if uncle Daniel had signed his rights to lots in the city of Philadelphia, my grandmother wanted my father Samuel to have, because he bore the maiden name. Matthias Aspden came down with Hartley to get all us children to sign our right to him. I belieye 1\1atthias Aspden returned to Eng-Janel about the beginning of the war. I think he came home after it was settled. I don't know how long he stayed in this country; he was back­ wards and forwards se\·eral times. I did not see him the last time he was here. RHODA BORTON.
