  • A Chronicle of the Wood Family
    YORKSHIRE TO WESTCHESTER A CHRONICLE OF THE WOOD FAMILY By_ HERBERT BARBER HOWE PUBLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA By THE TUTTLE PususHING Co., INC. · Edwin F. Sharp, Lessee RUTLAND, VERMONT 1948 ]AMES Woon 1762-1852 THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE COUSINS GRACE WOOD HAVILAND AND ELIZABETH RUNYON HOWE WHO OWN THE HOUSES BUILT BY THEIR GRANDFATHERS ON THE LAND ACQUIRED BY THEIR GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER COUNTY OFFICE BUILDING WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK The Westchester County Historical Society welcomes this volume as an important addition to the history of a rapidly changing country­ side. Mr. Howe, who is the highly effective editor of the Society's Bulletin, has been resourceful in his research and engaging in his presentation of his findings. Many a genealogical clue has been fol­ lowed to the point where an important discovery concerning persons or events was possible. Yet Mr. Howe is insistent that there are still loose ends in his study; for the absence of records can thwart the most determined chronicler. The story of the Wood family, from the days of the restless Puri­ tans in Yorkshire to the present era in Westchester, is richly furnished with exciting incidents and worthy achievements. The Tory an­ cestor during the American Revolution, who migrated to Nova Scotia and there built for himself a new life, is typical of many per­ sons in Westchester, who could not follow the signers of the Declara­ tion of Independence in their decision to break allegiance ro the British Empire. In the case of the Wood family the conflicting theories of empire brought a break in family ties during those troub­ lous years; and the task of the family historian was thus made much more difficult.

  • Metuchen the Brainy Borough
    METUCHEN THE BRAINY BOROUGH Compiled by the Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee Metuchen The Brainy Borough Compiled by the Metuchen historic preservation committee The Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee was formed in January 2008 to advise the Mayor and Council on steps to strengthen Metuchen’s commitment to historic preservation. The Committee’s goals are to develop public education on the benefits of historic preservation, honor Metuchen’s historic resources by increasing the number of structures in town listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, and explore the development of a Metuchen Historic Preservation Ordinance to formally recognize and protect the town’s distinctive historic and architectural character. The Historic Preservation Committee Suzanne Andrews Lori Chambers Michele Clancy Richard Miller Tyreen Reuter, Chair Rebeccah Seely Richard Weber Nancy Zerbe Jay Muldoon, Council Liaison June, 2015. All Rights Reserved. Metuchen, New Jersey. Introduction For several years, the Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee — with the assistance of grants from the Middlesex County Cultural and Heritage Commission — has studied Metuchen’s history and historic neighborhoods to evaluate the potential for one or more historic districts. These studies have resulted in additional historical information, especially related to one important theme: Metuchen’s reputation as “the Brainy Borough.” Local historians were aware of the 1914-1915 newspaper “battle” between Metuchen and Glen Ridge as to which town deserved the title; however, there were no extant copies of the Metuchen Recorder newspaper that over the extended period of the battle carried each town’s submissions of prominent residents who would warrant their hometown being considered “brainy.” The Committee’s recent studies have not only added to the general knowledge of the battle; they resulted in a significant research find: much of Metuchen’s reporting on the subject was also reprinted in Bloomfield’s Independent Press,* available at the Bloomfield Public Library.
