Upcoming MAGS Programs

* December 14: Members' Holiday Party

* January 11: "Church & Cemetery Records"

* February 8: "Italian Genealogical Records"

A very special time

This upcoming holiday season can be especially mean-ingful for recording YOUR family history. What a time to reflect upon the events you have witnessed in your life -- changes in society, climate, demography, communica-tion, medicine; the list never ends. We are living in an exhilarating time of great and incessant change. Rev. Ashbel Green (1762-1848), in a letter to his son, re-counted a line from "Resignation," a poem by Edward Young (1683-1765). "At the age of fourscore, where is the world into which we were born?" Where, indeed, is the world into which we were born? This can be a topic for this year's family get-togethers - recorded on tape, video or in journals or scrapbooks. Even record the sto-ries of young children who will particularly enjoy their reflections in future years.

Morris County Luminaries by Eleanor H. Casagrand

This is the second of a series of biographical sketches of persons strongly identified with Morris County. They are distinguished for their brilliance, character, spirit, influence and excellence. Rev. Jacob Green and his son, Rev. Ash-bel Green experienced, influenced and recorded the genesis of the United States of America.

Historians consider the earliest settlement within the present Morris County to be Whip-ponong, originally in Hunterdon Co. Families primarily from Newark, Elizabethtown, Long Island, New England and England settled this area in about 1685. They also built the first church in the county, Presbyterian, in 1718.Rev. Jacob Green4 was their third minister.

He descended from: Thomas Green' b. England 1606, m. Elizabeth ( - ); Lt. Henry2, of Malden, MA, (1638-1717) m. Esther Hasse; Jacob Green3 (1689-1723), of Malden, m. 8 Jul 1713 Dorothy Lynde. Jacob Green4 was b. in Malden, MA 22 Jan 1721/2. He m. #1 Anna Strong of Brookhaven, L.I. Their children were Ann, Abigail, Dorothy and Joseph. Upon Anna's death he m. Eliza-beth4 (b. 1726), dau. of Rev. John3 and Ruth (Woodbridge) Pierson, of Woodbridge, NJ; gdau. of Rev. Abraham Pierson2, president of Yale College; ggdau. of Abraham Pierson', pastor and one of the original found-ers of Newark, NJ. Rev. Jacob* and Elizabeth's4 children were Elizabeth, Benoni, Pierson, Ashbel5, Calvin, Keturah and John Wickliffe.

The Reverend Jacob Green (1722-1790) was a man of outstanding abilities and varied occupations. Tradition recounts that he once received a letter addressed:

Morris Area Genealogy Society -2- Vol 12 No 4 December 1999

New Acquisitions at the Library

by John A. Sass

Here are the latest ac-quisitions at the library:

1812 Ancestor Index, Volume II, 1970-1992. com-piled by Patricia Scruggs Trolinger, H92.1 NAT v.2, 1992. Since the years immediately following the War of 1812 are perhaps the most difficult for successful genealogical and historical research, this publication provides clues to those trying to establish their linea-ges. The alphabetically arranged index lists the names of members' ancestors who rendered civil, military or naval service to the United States during the 1812 period, 1784 to 1815, together with infor-mation relating to service, date and places of birth and death, name of spouse, names of children and their spouses through whom the line descends. How-ever it cannot be overemphasized that all must go beyond this publication to original sources in order to acquire adequate evidence of descent from a person listed. This information is a major contribution to genealogical literature.

Cemetery Inscriptions of Massachusetts, compiled by Ruby Harvie Windrow and Iva Gordon, 11974.4 WIN, 1999. This publication contains tombstone inscriptions for the following cemeteries: Cheshire Cemetery, Cheshire, MA; Old Clarksburgh Ceme-tery, Clarksburgh, MA; Southlawn Cemetery, South Williamstown, MA; the Old Cemetery, Hemlock, MA; the Townsend Cemetery, Hemlock, MA. Some of the cemetery inscriptions are arranged in alpha-betical order, while others are not.

Tidewater Virginia Families, by Virginia Lee Hutcheson Davvis, H929.51 DAV, 1998. This pub-lication includes the genealogies for the following families: Bell, Binford, Bonner, Butler, Campbell, Cheadle, Chilies, Clements, Cotton, Dejarnette(att), Dumas, Ellyson, Fishback, Fleming, Hamlin, Hampton, Harrison, Harris, Haynie, Hurt, Hutche-son, Lee, Mosby, Mundy, Nelson, Peatross, Petty-john, Ruffin, Short, Spencer, Tarleton, Tatum, Tay-lor, Terrell, Watkins, Winston, and Woodson. In-dexed.

Wills and Administrations for Accomack County, Virginia, 1663-1800, compiled by Stratton Notting-ham, H975.516 NOT, 1999. This two volume publi-cation was originally published in 1931 and contains the abstracts of wills and administrations of Acco-mack County, Virginia. The objective of this publi-cation was to find every record of will and admini-stration, to obtain the names of every beneficiary of an estate, to discover the degree of relationship of the beneficiary to the testator or intestate and to find the nature of the inheritance. Special attention has been paid to the orders of the probate, which often contain the names of children and heirs not mentioned in the body of the will. These wills and administrations are remarkably complete, and they are the only history that many southern families have. Indexed.

Land Causes for Accomack County, Virginia, 1727-1826, compiled by Stratton Nottingham, H975.516 NOT, 1999. This publication was originally pub-lished in 1930. The records included in this volume are invaluable to anyone interested in Eastern Shore genealogy and will prove to be a valuable addition to Virginia genealogy in general. The Land Causes or chancery suits for dower, division of lands, ejectment proceedings, give in full the declaration of the plain-tiff, the answer of the declaration, the verdict of the jury, depositions, in many instances giving the date of birth, death and marriage of the parties. Land is traced from the original patent to about 1825, show-ing the various owners and their descendants and next of kin through many generations. Indexed.

Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Volume 18, part 1, The Family of Richard Warren, compiled by Robert S. Wakefield, H292.1744 MAY FAM, v.18:1, 1999. No five generation genealogy is ever complete. This publication is based largely on carefully researched articles in genealogical journals and family histories, together with probate and land records, and town and church vital statistics. This new publication is a welcome addition to the other previously published editions. Indexed.

Index to Death Certificates for Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey, 1880-1909, compiled by Kem-per Chambers and Cheryl Turkington, HM6.CHAM, 1996. This compilation is alphabetically arranged according to surname and. as the title indicates, con-tains the names of all the people who passed away in Morristown, NJ from 1880 to 1909.


Abstracts of the 1825 New York State Census of Washington County, New York, by Kathleen Bar-nello, Joan Green, Joyce Mason, and Harold Witter, H974.749 ABS, 1998. This abstract was compiled by members of the Central New York Genealogical Society, and was recently published in their quarterly magazine, "Tree Talks." Towns of the County, listed in alphabetical order, are as follows: Argyle, Cam-bridge, Dresden (originally named South Bay), Eas-ton, Fort Ann (originally called Westfield), Fort Ed-ward, Granville (also known as Bishops Corner), Hampton, Hartford, Hebron, Jackson, Kingsbury, Putnam, Salkem, White Creek and Whitehall (also known as Skenesborough).

The census schedules contained thirty-six columns for data to be entered concerning each household. These data provide information of interest to both genealogists and historians. Data important to this census include for each household the number of males and females who were born or died during the census year, the number of marriages of females within the year, the number of married females in three age categories, males eligible for militia service, males qualified to vote, the number of persons of color in three categories, the number of aliens, and the number of paupers.

The following twenty categories provide statistics that give a picture of the economic status of each household: how many acres of improved land occu-pied; how many head of neat cattle; horses, sheep or hogs; how many yards of flannel, linen, cotton, etc., cloth made "in the domestic way," and whether they were owners of certain types of machinery, a certain kind of mill, an iron works, a distillery, an ashery, or a cotton or woolen factory. This publication also contains maps of Washington County in 1772, 1794, 1800, 1822 and 1871. Indexed.

The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records, Volumes 14-18, by Lorraine Cook White, H974.6 WHI v.14-18, 1999. This continuing series of vital records contains birth, marriage and death records for the following towns: Goshen (1739-1854), Granby (1786-1850), Greenwich (1640-1848), Guilford (1639-1850), Griswold (1815-1848), Groton (1704-1853), Haddam (1668-1852), Hamden (1786-.1854), Hampton (1786-1851), Hartland (1761-1848), Harwinton (1737-1854), and Hebron (1706-1854). Indexed

Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, Volume 4, Pennsylvania, by Rev. Frederick Wallace Pyne, H929.1 PYN v.4. 1998. This is the fourth of a seven volume series that pro-vides genealogical information on all known descen-dants of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence. Volume 4 covers the State of Penn-sylvania, which in 1776, included essentially the state as it is known today, although the northern boundary with New York and the southern boundary with Delaware were not definitively settled until later.

It is the intent of the author to make available genea-logical, but not biographical, information on the de-scendants of the signers. The information is scattered about in various repositories including libraries and hereditary society records, and some in the public vital records of numerous political subdivisions. Additional genealogical data is kept by individual families in other unpublished forms such as Bibles, pedigrees or family group sheets. But nowhere is this information collected, organized, and available in a single place. This is the major purpose of this work.

This publication contains the descendants of George Clymers, Benjamin Franklin, John Morton, Robert Morris, George Ross, Benjamin Rush, James Smith, George Taylor, and James Wilson. Indexed.

Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, Volume 5, Delaware and Maryland, by Rev. Frederick Wallace Pyne, H929.1 PYNB v.5. 1999. This is the fifth volume that provides genea-logical information on the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence. Volume 5 covers the states of Delaware and Maryland, which in 1776, included essentially the bounds of the present states.

This publication contains the descendants of Thomas McKean, George Read and Ceasar Rodney, all from Delaware, and Charles Carrol, Samuel Chase, Wil-liam Pace and Thomas Stone, all from Maryland. Indexed.

Previous publications include Volume 1, New Eng-land (1997), Volume 2, New York (1998), Volume 3, New Jersey (1998).


Ontario People, 1796-1803, transcribed and anno-tated by E. Keith Fitzgerald, H971.3 FIT, 1998. After the American Revolution several thousand families came to settle in 1784 in the western part of the colony of Quebec, later to be known as Upper Canada, then Canada West and today as Ontario. These settlers were discharged British and German servicemen, former members of American Loyalist regiments, and some civilians and refugees.

The National Archives of Canada holds the original, and in some cases copies, of the rolls of names of those who qualified as Loyalists compiled in the four districts (Eastern, Midland, Home, Western) into which Upper Canada (Ontario) was divided in 1788. It is the contention of the transcriber that these origi-nal Rolls are the origins of all other lists of Ontario Loyalists. Their value is in the fact that they contain entries of those who wanted to be considered Loyal-ists and some who did not qualify to whatever was the definition of a Loyalist in those days. Thus, the most important thing about these lists, is that these people existed in 1796/97 in Upper Canada, not that they were Loyalists. It amounts almost to a partial census of the province at that time, inadequate as it may be. Indexed.

The following local histories have also been acquired by the library:

Genealogical History of the Town of Reading, Mid-dlesex County, Massachusetts, by Lilley Edith, H974.44 EAT.

History of New Durham, New Hampshire, by Ellen C. Jennings, H974.25 JEN.

History of Sudbury, Middlesex County, Massachu-setts, by Alfred S. Hudson, H974.44 HUD.

The Iron Era, published in Dover, NJ, contains a wealth of information about resi-dents of Dover and the surrounding areas of Morris County. The Morristown-Morris Twp. Library has microfilm copies of the issues published from Jan. 20, 1872 through Dec. 10, 1905. Unfortunately, there is no index. However, toward the end of each year from 1881 through 1892, a synopsis of the year's events was published in the newspaper. The Library's collection includes a transcript of the synopses, Morris County History 1881-1892 [HM1/Dove/Mor]. (continued from Vol 12, No 3, p 11).

Morris County Luminaries (Rev. Jacob Green - continued from pg. 1)

Rev. Jacob Green served as minister of the Hanover Presbyterian Church from his in-

stallation in Nov. 1746 until his death on 24 May 1790. He taught the neighborhood children. As a learned law-yer he drew up the wills of his parishioners, wrote their deeds and contracts, settled their estates and served as their legal advisor. He, at one time or another, operated a grist mill, saw mill, brick kiln and applejack distillery. He served as interregnum President of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton) from 1758-1759. In 1767 he wrote the "History of the Hanover Church" when many Morris Co. pioneers were still around to be interviewr.d. He was the earliest recorded physician in Morris Co. and practiced for 30 years. During the winter of 1777-78 Washington's Army was afflicted by a smallpox epi-demic. Green turned his church into a hospital and in-oculated both the army and citizens against the disease.

As a controversial and independent-minded minister, he ardently supported the Revolutionary War from his pul-pit. He wrote political pamphlets that advocated a split with the British and abolition of slavery. He also housed a dozen Continental soldiers within his home. In 1776 he was elected representative from Morris Co. to the Provincial Congress. On 24 Jun 1776 he headed the committee that drafted the first NJ State Constitution, designed to meet the governmental needs and emergen-cies of this newly independent colony.

He was described as even tempered, firm, resolute, be-nevolent, inquisitive, unwearied, enlightened and hum-ble. He was a devout and industrious man whose high moral character influenced his and future generations.

Jacob's son, Rev. Ashbel Greens, D.D., L.L.D. was born Hanover, NJ 6 Jul 1762. He m. #1 on 3 Nov 1785 Eliza-beth, dau. of Robert and Helen (Macomb) Stockton. Their children were Robert Stockton (1787-1813), Jacob (1790-1842), James Sproat6 (1829-1892). Ashbel m. # 2 on 16 Oct 1809 Christina Anderson. Their child was Ashbel, Jr. (b. 1811) who moved to TX. Rev. Ashbel m. #3 on 3 Oct 1815; third, Mary McCulloh. He served as the 8th President of Princeton College 1812-1822 and died Philadelphia 19 May 1848.

Rev. Jacob educated his son at home. At the age of six-teen Ashbel began a three-year stint as a local schoolmas-ter. During the Revolution he served as orderly sergeant in the NJ Militia. Ashbel fought at the Battle of Spring-field where he was disturbed by Col. Seely's profanity. Posted near a bridge, Ashbel heard cannon balls zooming overhead and saw several men hit by them as the balls

ricocheted through the trees. He thought casualties would have been greater if the enemy had aimed lower. Ashbel entered the College of New Jersey as a junior and graduated as class valedictorian in 1783. His valedictory address was delivered before George Washington and other members of the Continental Congress, then meet-ing in Princeton. Upon graduation he served as tutor and then as professor of mathematics and natural philosophy.

He decided to study for the Presbyterian ministry and soon rose to a position of considerable prominence. In 1787 he began a ministry at Philadelphia's Second Pres-byterian Church that lasted until 1812. From 1792 to 1800 he served as chaplain to the U.S. Congress.

A medium-sized, stocky man of commanding presence, Green was noted for his energy and organizational pow-ers. His main interests were missionary work and educa-tion. He was a member of the committee that drew up plans for Princeton Theological Seminary and main-tained a close association with that institution from its founding in 1812 until 1848. He served as a trustee of the College of New Jersey beginning in 1790 and in 1812 assumed the presidency.

Rev. Green introduced rigorous disciplinary rules and a heavily religious tone. Despite some serious student ri-ots, enrollments increased during his administration. He resigned the presidency in 1822. The direct cause of his resignation appeared to have been an effort by the ad-ministration to ease his son Jacob6 out of the post of pro-fessor of natural philosophy at the College. The indirect cause was probably his involvement in the affairs of the Theological Seminary to the detriment of those of the College.

Rev. Ashbel Green went on to a long and extremely in-fluential career as a prominent religious writer and jour-nalist. He became a major guiding force in the Presbyte-rian Church. He reflected and wrote of the long-range impact of the American Revolution upon American ide-als, practices and institutions. In 1840, at age 78, he wrote to his son Jacob6 about the changes that had oc-curred during his lifetime.

"Our whole country exhibited a simplicity and plainness of manners and habit of living, exceedingly different from those which we now witness." He believed that the whole face of nature and society had changed during his lifetime. The dense forests of his youth were now fertile fields. Cities had sprung up on the frontier. Territorial expansion was accompanied by a transportation revolu-tion -- the building of turnpikes and canals, the harness-ing of steam for engines, mills, steamboats and railroads, ballooning.

Rev. Ashbel Green (continued from pg. 14)

Rev. Ashbel Green did not see all changes in his lifetime as improvement. He bemoaned the desecration of the Christian Sabbath, infidelity, atheism and greed. "May a merciful God turn us from our evil ways..." He prayed that God's "providential corrections, in tornadoes, inun-dations, floods" would convert the people "lest still greater and more general calamities come upon us."

Ashbel's son, Hon. James Sproat Green6 (b. 1792) m. Isabella Williamson McCulloh (b. 1825), dau. of Capt., John and Anna (Bringhurst) McCulloh of Philadelphia. Their fourth son, Robert Stockton Green' was born Prin-ceton, NJ on 25 Mar 1831.

Robert Stockton Green graduated from Princeton Uni-versity in 1850. He then studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1853. He practiced law in Elizabeth, NJ and served in many local and county political positions. Rob-ert was a member of the commission called to suggest amendments to the NJ Constitution in 1873. He was elected as a Democrat to the Forty-ninth Congress and served from 1885 until 1887 when he was elected Gover-nor of NJ. He afterwards served as NJ Vice Chancellor
