Wo^U PREFACE. THIS volume of the Manual of the Legislature of New Jersey has been carefully revised, remodeled, set in new type, and is printed on an extra quality of paper. An improvement has also been made in the binding. Its contents present an array of facts, data and statistics which are of great value and interest to every Jerseyman. Among the additions will be found the Declaration of Independence and the Con- stitution of the United States. The aim of the compilers to make the work superior to all preceding volumes, it will be admitted, has been successful, and it is therefore presented to the Legislature with full confidence that its worth will insure a continuance of the good will and kind appreciation hereto- fore bestowed on the other editions.

  • The Scott Family
    THE SCOTT FAMILY OF SHREWSBURY. N. J. Being the Descendants of William Scott and Abigail Tilton Warner With Sketches of Related Families COMPILED BY Rev. Arthur S. Cole THE REGISTER PRESS RED BANK, N. J. 1908 PREFACE. Charles Wagner has said that "the best possessions of a family are its com­ mon memories.'' To recall and preserve these common memories, many of them long since passed out of family recollection, is the purpose of the following pages. Some old family records having come into my possession, they sug­ gested the idea of further research and ultimate preservation by the use of the printing press. More than three years have been spent in the work, and the re­ sult is presented in this compact and simple form. Records of families related by intermarriage have to some extent been included so far as they represent lines of ancestry down to the time of intermarriage. The names of nearly one thousand descendants of the William Scott who first settled in Shrewsbury are to be found in this book, and yet the list is far from complete. A longer time and wider research might have increased the number, but it has been thought best not to delay publication. To honor and preserve the memory of those who have passed beyond the veil, to foster a proper family feeling and spirit, and to keep for future generations the record of their ancestry, these pages are sent out to the many branches of the family and entrusted to their keeping. Through the courtesy of Mr. John H.

From the first g7'a)it of Charles IT, to the Duke of York, to the surrender by the Proprietors of their right of Goverft/nent. As the history of the land titles of any State or section of country and of its early settlement must ever be of interest to the inhabitants thereof, espec- ially to those who are owners of its soil, and as there seems to be no clear idea in the public mind as to the origin of the land titles in New Jersey, (the vacant or unoccupied lands often being spoken of as Government or State lands, when neither the U. S. Government or the State ever owned any right in the soil of New Jersey except that acquired by purchase in the same man- ner and of the same parties as that purchased by individuals), the object of the foUov/ing articles will be to give a history of the early titles to the lands of the State, or more particularly to the eastern division thereof, from whom they emanated, showing their value as titles in fee to their holders, the mode of early surveying, together with some early exploration of the State, anecdotes of prominent or singular men, bits of local histor)^ and such other matters pertaining to the olden time as may be instructive and of mterest to the gen- eral reader.

Second Edition Printed, 1915. 1233693 PREFACE. When the publication of these articles on the Early Dutch Settlers of Monmouth was begun in The Freehold Transcript, I had no idea they would develop to such Length. Several of the articles written for the weekly issues of this newspaper read all right therein, but now, gathered together in hook form, they appear fragmentary and disconnected. A great deal of time and labor by more than one person has been devoted to gathering material from public records, family papers, tombstone inscriptions, and other original sources of information. Much of this is comprised in short notes and small type, and, by putting these compilations in hook form they will be accessible for reference. For there is much work to be done before a full genealogy can be written of either the Conover, Hendrickson, or Schanck families. The illustrations are chiefly old dwelling houses erected by the early settlers or their sons. The buildings are disappear- ing before the march of improvement and the decay of time, and in another generation not one will probably he left. Some are of the Dutch style of architecture, others of the English, but they show the radical difference of the two races in character. 1 have been unable to procure the likeness of any of our pioneer settlers, and therefore was compelled to select persons of the present generation, who bear in form or features a strong family resemblance to their parental ancestors.

    WINDERS OF AMERICA JOHN WINDER, OF NEW YORK 1674-1675 THOMAS WINDER, OF NEW JERSEY 1 7°3-1 734 JOHN WINDER, OF MARYLAND 1665-1698 COMPILED BY R. WINDER JOHNSON ll)tlntcl:l tot !Ptl~ntc Ctrculntton BY J. B, LIPPINCOTT COMPANY, PHILADELPHIA 1902 WINDERS OF AMERICA PREFACE THE result of a number of years of pleasant work is here presented, in the hope that it may prove of interest to those related to the families herein referred to, and also induce others to con­ tinue researches. No evidence has yet been obtained proving relationship between these different branches of the Winder family, nor have their places of origin in England been ascertained ; but it is hoped this information may in time be secured. The earliest American record of the name is found with a slightly different spelling in Hotten's "List of Emigrants" (pages 181, 193), where, among those living in Virginia on February 16, 1623, at Marlin's Hundred, was Ann Windor, while in another list of the same date, of those who had died since April last, was Edward Windor, killed at Marlin's Hundred. In the present monograph, the well-known Maryland family, descended from John Winder, 5 )Preface of Somerset County, Maryland, has received but slight mention, for the reason that a family chart and several articles relating to this branch have already appeared in print. The compiler wishes gratefully to acknowledge his indebtedness to all who have kindly assisted in furnishing information, among whom are F. A. Winder, Esq., of East Cowes, England; Philip D.
