No members of this family currently alive/1879. Ref: History of Medicine in NJ. Published 1879. He died Feb. 20 of malignant fever one day before his wife, Elizabeth who died Feb. 21, 1791. They were buried on the same day by Rev. John Cosin Ogden. . 1764 Feb 18 WILL of Mary Newell of Perth Amboy, Middlesc Co., widow, Int. Adm. Doctor James Newell of Upper Freehold, Monmouth (nearest relation). Fellowbondsman Wm. Burnet of Perth Amboy. 1764 Feb 18, Inventory: £25. 1. 16 made by James Brooks & Thos. Skinner, Jr. . This Lawrence-Newell connection brings to me a bit of unrecorded history of great interest. In the year 1778 Major André came to Allentown bringing with him letters of introduction to Dr. James Newell from Mrs. John Lawrence of Burlington, [Mother-in-law, Martha Tallman Lawrence] & asked Dr. Newell to give medical service to André's brother who was ill. The brothers were hospitably received & cared for at Dr. Newell's house in Allentown, where they stayed for a day & a night; then getting word that the American troops were advancing rapidly in that direction they left very early in the morning in a carriage belonging to an invalid lady, a Mrs. Wykoff* of Philadelphia, which Major André borrowed on account of the extreme illness of his brother (whom Mrs. Newell thought too ill to be moved); this carriage Major André caused to be returned to its owner after he had reached South Amboy in safety. In the hurried departure at an hour before daylight, one of the spoons from Major André's campkit, which had been used as a medicine spoon for the invalid, was left on the mantel-shelf of the room which they occupied in my great-great-grandfather's house; this spoon bearing the Crest of the André family is in my possession. Note1: Mrs. Wykoff* wrote an account of the attack on Philadelphia. Ref: Those Paris Years, by Samuel N Watson, 1936. . 1898 Nov 18 - Allentown's Earlier Newells Several generations of successful physicians & also good politicians. Speaking with an Upper Freehold gentleman the other day of the interest attaching to the recent list of former Governor Newell to his old hime, our attention was called to the fact that the governor was to the only Dr. Newell who had at one time or mother lived & practiced medicine in Allantown. A hundred years ago Dr. James Newell resided there & enjoyed a large practice, becoming in his profession. His wife Elizabeth was a daughter of Elisha Lawrence who lived on the Chestnut Grove farm now owned by Harrison Hendrickson, near Imlaystown & died in 1792. Mr Lawrence's will mentions besides his daughter, Mrs Newell, to who he left considerable property, sons John & Elisha, & dau. Ann & Lucy. He mentions also as sons of Doctor & Mrs Neil, Elisha (to whom he makes a special bequest doubtless for his name), John & Robert. So there must have been Newells in evidence in the earlier as well as the later history of the old town founded by Nathan All, 1706. The Newells, somehow, seem to have naturally taken to medicine & if not born doctors, they nevertheless, as a rule turned out to be prey good ones, as we are told "there wasn't a failure among them"Besides the John Wm A, shoes standing as a physician & surgeon was among the foremost in the state 40 years ago [c 1858], his brother Wm Dunham who practiced as Imlaystown & another brother Azariah who died recently in New Brunswick, where both accomplished physicians, 3 of a kind in one family. The governor's 2 sons also studied medicine, Adolphus dying before gradation & Wm A, Junior, after giving early promise of a successful career. The governor himself is said have always regarded his calling as a physician the chicest business of his life, riding day &night when a member of congress & governor of the sate, attending the humble & the lowly as well as the highest in the land. Governors in those days didn't get $10,000 a year for going down to Trenton once or twice a week, as somebody has rather pithily remarked - doubtless having Dr Newell in mind - it required practice to eke out a comfortable living for a growing family on a salary of $1,500 a year. If we are not mistaken the governor's private secretary gets about twice that figure now for work mainly performed by an executive clerk, & which was then satisfactorily performed b Enoch borden, of the State Gazette for $300 per annum. Ref: Freehold Transcript & the Monmouth Inquirer, Freehold, NJ. . 1903 Dec 24 -About another Dr Newell, the late Dr Wm A Newell so widely known in our state recall another eminent physician & surgeon Newell once resided in our town over a century ago, in the old dwelling that stood on the property now occupied by the Baptist church & parsonage*. His wife was a dau. of Elisha Lawrence, who resided on what is now the Hendrickson farm near Imlayston. Dr James Newell received his medical education in Edinburg, Scotland. Dr Newell's son-in-law, Robert Montgomery who lived on the Eglinton estate near here, suffered conferrable loss on the passing of canton's army. An inventory was made by him of property destroyed & carried off, amounted to sever hundred pound. The front of the dwelling still bears the mark of a cannon ball which was fired from a British gun while the arm was encamped near there the night before the battle of Monmouth. Ref: Allentown Messenger, NJ. . The Presbyterian Church at Allentown stands on ground once owned by William Lawrence, For the sum of 5 shillings he conveyed to Robt Imlay & Tobias Polehmus, on 1744 Dec 15, 1 acres of land for the use of the Presbyterian congregation, On this the first edifice was erected in 1756. Ref: Allentown Messenger, NJ, 1904 Jul 21. For further research: . WILL of John F Grandin, son of Philip Grandin, of Hunterdon Co. studied medicine with Dr. James Newell, of Allentown, whose daughter he married. She was a grand-daughter of Elisha Lawrence.

Your Daughter in Burlington was to go home 2d ays ago, but no crossing the River: since; I still remain under the jurisdiction of the Gout, tho' I am well tired of the confinement, as well as the pain: It tyrannizes over me at a hard rate, nor is my situation the best suited for it, as it might be, but I can't get away, tho' I very much want to. Perhaps I have by this time almost tired your Patience, & as I hope the next news I hear will be the arrival of the Packet. Signed, James Praker.

| 14274 | James Smith named his grandson, James Moore, as the inheritor of his property in Lot 20, 3rd Concession of Charlotteville Twp. It was clear that the Smiths didn't approve of their son-in-law, Enoch Moore, and passed over him in the will. James lived on his property, Lot 12, 2nd Concession, a 150 acre farm in Woodhouse Twp. at the south-west corner of Hwy # 24 and County Rd. 10, the Turkey Point Rd. The intersection where the farm stood became known as Moore's Corners. In 1983, Jay Moore (the writer), visited the property and took pictures of the house and the barn. The owner at the time took him into the barn and pointed out that the whole frame of the barn, likely built by James, was still in excellent condition and showed excellent craftsmanship. Jay was given two square nails from the roof that were assumed to be original. These may have come from the iron foundry at nearby Normandale. There is a plaque in Normandale at the site of the foundry. The owner also described the very large, hand-hewn beams under the house that were charred from a fire. It is known that the house burned down in 1881 while in the possession of his son, James Albert. He continued to correspond with his brothers and sisiters who had relocated to Illinois, Wisconsin and Nebraska until his death in 1872. Most of the correspondence involved appeals for money to support Elizabeth, his mother, who died in Rockford, IL on March 3, 1871. Jay Moore, the writer, saw the gravestone of Elizabeth Moore in the cemetary at New Milford, IL in 1992. As of 2001, James Jay Daniel Moore is the fifth James Moore and has James Moore's wedding band. The tradition is that it should be passed to the first boy of each generation descending from the first James Moore. James Aaron Jason Moore is the sixth James Moore. | MOORE, James (I271)

| 14280 | James Wm. is the son of Eleanor Beaton & James W Bridgeland. Surveyor & civil servant, born Apr. 9, 1817 at or near York (Toronto), second son of James W. Bridgeland, 1776 -Oct. 6 1844 & Eleanor Bentham, 1779-Sept. 14, 1827, d/o Jeremiah Bentham. J.W. died Oct. 22, 1880 in Toronto. His parents came to York from Kent County, England in 1816. For some years the family remained in York, the father having obtained the position of the Court of King's Bench, & young James attended Thomas Appleton's common school. In 1828 the family purchased property in Downsview, Toronto north, where the sons & daughters grew up. Young James decided to become a land surveyor & in 1842 attended the summer term at Victoria College, Cobourg. He was apprenticed to John Stoughton Dennis & qualified as a provincial land surveyor on May 6, 1844. Soon after he commenced to practice, he was employed by the Crown Lands Department in making surveys in Canada West & he became a member of the staff of the Crown Lands Office on Jan. 22, 1856. His most important surveys were in the townships of Mornington (1848), Kincardine (1850) & Carden (1852); along the Muskoka River (1852) & Indian River (1853); on Rama Island (1860); & in the Huron & Ottawa territory (1861-2). His reports frequently have a distinct literary flavour. To describe land near the Muskoka River, he wrote "would only be to repeat the tedious monotony of rocky barrens, swamps, marshes, & burnt regions; destitute of good water, good timber, in short of everything necessary to make settlement desirable or life supportable; seem from their scarcity - scarcely able to exist". These reports were eminently sensible & won the approval of his superiors, as did no doubt his attitude towards employees who attempted to gain an increase in pay. To one of his subordinates he wrote: "The Strike you speak of should have been the immediate occasion for you to have discharged every man ..., I will not sanction a farthing of increase in wages." After 1860 Bridgeland's duties lay chiefly in the field of colonization of roads, built by the government to attract settlers to the Georgian Bay & Ottawa area. His duties led him also to the mining districts & Indian lands north of Lake Superior. In 1864 when the superintendent of colonization of roads in Canada West, David Gibson, died, that office was discontinued but the duties were transferred to Bridgeland. After confederation he continued to perform the duties connected with the oversight of colonization of roads in Ontario - duties he would be relied on to perform with diligence & economy. . 1859 June 11, James Bridgeland, a widower, married Martha Ann Jones (1832-1910) d/o Rev. Richard Jones & Mary Ann Wright. Six children were born from this marriage: Anna Sarah (1860-1941) Albert James (1861-1865) Mary Ella (1865-1944) Martha Alice (1868-1868) Josephine (1870-1953) Mildred Katherine Bridgeland (1873-1949). - - - | BRIDGELAND, James William (I1045)

| 14281 | James's son, James Hamilton, born c. 1801, was a flax weaver in Ireland. The family were also farming & surely must have grown flax also. Recorded for further research: . 1796 Irish Flax Growers Flax Growers List of 1796, known officially as the Spinning Wheel Premium Entitlement List, or more commonly the Flax Growers Bounty List. The Irish Linen Board published a list of nearly 60,000 individuals in 1796. Spinning wheels were awarded based on the number of acres planted. People who planted one acre were awarded 4 spinning wheels & those growing 5 acres were awarded a loom.

Every Person preferring Reels may have 2 of them in lieu of a Spinning Wheel. . Spinning Wheel Premium Entitlement List, Flax Growers Bounty List - 1796: In the 18th Century Ulster gained a worldwide reputation as a producer of fine linen, which is made from flax. From time to time, the Government introduced incentives to encourage more people to grow flax. In 1796 the Irish Linen Board published a list of people who had received bounties for planting flax. This was known officially as the Spinning Wheel Premium Entitlement List, but was generally called the Flax Growers Bounty List. Only the name & civil parish of the beneficiary was recorded & there is no further detail available. . Over 60,000 people in Ireland received incentives, of which over 40,000 were based in Ulster. Donegal & Tyrone had the highest number of recipients, reflecting the importance of flax in the local economy. People planting one acre of flax received 4 spinning wheels & those who planted 5 acres received a loom. Only the name, town & civil parish of the beneficiary was recorded & there is no further details available. The barony was listed instead of the parish in a few of the records. - - - | HAMILTON, James .1 (I1349)

Hugh's mother was Ann Fulton. The Stewart farm was next to the estate of Lord Dufferin. After Hugh & Mary were married they must have remained in Ireland for the first child, William was born there. Some of the Stewart family came to Canada with the McCutcheons (one brother died of fever crossing the ocean & was buried at sea.) All the Stewarts, but Mary, settled at Montreal by the English River. They were David, John, William, James, Robert, Martha (Mrs. Ritchie) & Jane. I might says that in later years, Robert came to Erin & spend his last days at the McCutcheon farm on the 3rd line of Erin. He is buried at Ballinafad, Ont., beside Hugh & Mary in the west corner of the cemetery. Hugh & Mary McCutcheon came as far as Montreal where their daughter Ann was born. Thomas & Ellen were born at Cobourg, The rest, Margaret Stewart, John, Jane, & Robert were all born at home in Erin Township. Hugh & Mary worked hard, Mary helped a lot. One of Mary's brothers came to see her & it was so long since she had seem them she did not know them. Mary went to Montreal to visit her people & as there were no railroads, she road horse back to Oakville, [ south to a port on Lake Ontario - near Hamilton, ON.,] then took the boat to Montreal. I know once Mary came back from Montreal & rode home alone on horseback. She had a big load, as her people had given her so much to take back to the bush land. She got very tired & people along the way made her say overnight with them & rest. Hugh died in 1861 at age of 64. Mary died in 1893 at the age of 96. They were both born in 1797. . [Post Script probably by Thomas McCutheon, 1888- 1975). All of their family are gone. William died in Kansas, Ann in Erin village, Thomas in Everton, Ellen in Erin, Margaret in British Columbia, Stewart in Erin Village, John in Big Rapids, Michigan, Jane in Toronto, Robert in Neepawa, Manitoba.

Pritchett Family Zebulon Pritchett was the oldest son, having received the home plantation Apes Hill, as recorded in his father John Pritchett's WILL filed in August 1723 among some papers & recorded in Old Book No. 9, at Cambridge Md. Ref: Maryland Genealogies, Vol. II. . Pritchetts Crossroads: Zebulon Pritchett, a 4th generation descendant of Dr. John Pritchet, found himself caught in the middle of a revolution, & with the other men living in Dorchester County, he had to defend his family from the aggressive tactics of professional British soldiers & their colonial supporters. An excerpt from Revolutionary Patriots of Dorchester County Maryland 1775-1783 by Henry C. Peden, Jr. Zebulon was killed during the second year of the Revolutionary War. During the War the Tories would often make sneak attacks up the Hungar [Honga] River & burn homes, carry off supplies, & prisoners of war. It is thought that Zebulon Pritchett was killed on a sneak attack by Tories who came up in a boat to the rear of Captain Henry Lake's home for the purpose of capturing Capt. Lake & destroying his home. Dr. John Pritchett when he first came to Dorchester County to live, he made the beautiful plantation Apes Hill his home. Later, when his son Zebulon married he gave Zebulon Apes Hill & he moved to his adjoining plantation, The Hope. These 2 plantations adjoining each other, on the Upper Straights of Hungar [Honga] River, almost out to the Chesapeake Bay, are still 2 of the finest locations in Dorchester County. Here is much tradition that has been handed down from one generation to another, how when Dr. John Pritchett first came to Dorchester County, that he was kind to the Indians, & administered to their needs, as well as the white man, & the Indians respected him & his family. To honor one of these old Indian Chiefs, it is said he named one of his sons "Phunback". Whether this tradition is true, we do not know, however we do know that he did name one of his sons "Phunback." . WILL of Zebulon Pritchard, Dor.
