UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH LIBRARY 3 1735 060 728 148 ARCHIVES STATE OF NEW JERSEY FIRST SERIES Vol. XXXII VOL. Ill OF CALENDAR OF WILLS : This volume was prepared and edited by authority of the State of New Jersey, at the request of the New Jersey Histori- cal Society, and under the direction of its Committee on Colon- ial Documents. That Committee at present is constituted as follows Edwin R. Walker, Adrian Lyon, Joseph F. Folsom, A. Van Doren Honeyman, Hiram E, Beats, W. I. Lincoln Adams. DOCUMENTS BBLATING TO THB COLONIAL HISTORY STATE OF NEW JERSEY FIRST SERIES—VOL. XXXII CALENDAR OF NEW JERSEY WILLS, ADMINISTRATIONS, Etc. VOLUME III—1751-1760 EDITED BT A. VAN DOREN HONEYMAN OF COMMITTEE ON COLONIAL DOCUMENTS SOMERVILLE, N. J. Thh Unionist-Gazbtth Association, Printers. 1924 V\Z\ \s1; 5^-r. Introductory Note t^o^A This, the third volume of Abstracts of Wills of New Jersey, includes wills, administrations and guardianships from Jan. i, 1 75 1, to Dec. 3'i, 1760, a period of ten years. The matter was mostly prepared many years ago. The Editor has had added by another hand such omissions as were found by comparison with the published "Index of Wills, Inventories," etc., but has not personally made the Abstracts, and is not responsible for their accuracy. He has simply made the text available for the printer, as the Abstracts were not in the necessary technical shape for that purpose. As the Abstracts have been made by different persons employed, they are not always uniform in style, but alike give the necessary facts. For the information of the curious it may be stated that Bi- bles, books and looking-glasses of that period, which have come down in families, are now greatly prized by possessors, and it is, doubtless, for that reason that these articles are so often noted in the transcripts made of inventories, and sometimes in wills. The proper names of persons and places are believed to be given as in the originals. This early period was one, however, when names were spelled so indifferently that, in the case of the surnames of persons in heavy boldface type, arranged al- phabetically, the reader may have to consider various ways of spelling in order to discover certain of the various surnames. The Index does not repeat the surnames of those whose wills, etc., are abstracted, except in the instances where alternative spelHngs, in parentheses, are so extremely divergent from the alphabetical arrangement that they may not be otherwise dis- covered. Such alternative spellings, however, are not made by the Editor but by the abstracters and are not always to be con- sidered as correct. The total number of wills, intestacies, etc., abstracted for this volume is about 2400. This publication is made possible by a Legislative appropria- tion of 1923. EDITOR. — Calendar of New Jersey Wills Note.—The books cited as Libers 1, 2, 3, etc., are of West Jersey wills. Those cited as Libers A, B, C, etc.. are of East Jersey wills. Where matters beside recorded wills, such as inventories, accounts, etc., are noted, the originals may be found in the proper envelopes (arranged by counties), reference to which is made in the volumes (three volumes) entitled "Index to W^ills," published by the Secretary of State in 1912 and 1913, which should always be consulted in case originals are to be referred to. Where the chief matter is not of record in books the envelope numbers are given herewith, although in Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, and Monmouth counties, the original papers are bound instead of being in envelopes. All original matters herein abstracted are to be found in the Secretary of State's office at Trenton. 1752, . , —. Aaronson, John, son of Joseph, dec'd, of Mansfield, Burlington Co.

Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

    JOHN VARDILL: A LOYALIST'S PROGRESS by STEVEN GRAHAM WIGELY .A., University of California at Irvine, 1971 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of History We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May, 1975 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of History The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of a loyalist of the American Revolution named John .Vardill. A native of New York who went to England in 1774, he was an Anglican clergyman, a pamphlet• eer, a professor at King's College (New York), and a spy for the British. The purpose of the thesis is: 1. to tell his story, and 2. to argue that his loyalism was a perfectly rea• sonable consequence of his environment and experiences. The text begins with an Introduction (Chapter I) which places Vardill in colonial and English society, and justifies studying one who was neither among the very powerful nor the very weak. It then proceeds to a consideration of the circum• stances and substance of his claim for compensation from the , British government after the war (Chapter II).

GOSSON, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. >§®=" The newspaper press are welcome to use such parts of the work as they may desire, on giving credit therefor to the Manual. INTRODUCTORY THE INIanual of the One Hundred and Eighth Session of the Legislature of New Jersey is, we trust, an improvement on preceding volumes. We have honestly striven every year to make each succeeding book suj^e- rior to all others, and hope, ere long, to present a work which will take rank with the best of its kind published in the United States. To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.
