24112 This excerpt is from the published genealogy of The Brooke-White Family (to Chase Jackson Brooke and his wife, Lucy Moore Shaw) available on the Internet.

From "Rochester History" by Dexter Perkins and Blake McKelvey, "On November 11, 1897, when starting off for a swing around the West, Susan B. Anthony stopped on her way to the station to attend the golden wedding reception of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Mott Moore. The good doctor's conclusion, some forty years before, that Miss Anthony's life 'is a very good one,' had been borne out."
"A friend." Edward attended his father's school at Flushing and also the Renselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy. He commenced the study of his profession in Rochester in 1833 with Dr. Anson Coleman, and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1836. He returned to Rochester (in 1840) and practiced until his death.
He was not only the leading physician and surgeon of Rochester but of Western NY. "To him more than to any man is due the inauguration and establishment of Rochester's excellent park system, which was systematically started in 1888, and which today places the city in that respect, beside the finest and best in the country. Dr. Moore has been president of the Park Commission since its inception. And in the face of strong opposition has successfully guided the enterprise to its present condition."

Ref: Liber I, 56 Secretary of State's office, Trenton, Monmouth Wills.

. 1704 May 22, Proved WILL: by oath of John Stout, Wit. who saw Richard Hartshorne, John Cloinger & Margaret Hartshorne sign; before Thomas Reuell, Surrogate, Middletowne.

By the way the wife of William in that last Will was his second wife,
Elizabeth Scudder, baptized in NA 18 March 1650, daughter of John Scudder. She was married first to John Alburtus (Burtis), who died in 1691. Their daughter, Mechetable was married to William Lawrence's son, James.

. Colts Neck:
One of the earliest descriptions of the area tells us of the abundance of wild life. It is fascinating to learn that in addition to the creatures that still abound in our fields & woodlands, Colts Neck had its share of wolves, bears & panthers. One of New Jersey's first fulling mills (perhaps the oldest) was run & owned by William Lawrence on Hop Brook. Fulling was a process of cleansing or thickening cloth by beating or washing. William Lawrence died in 1701 & willed the mill, house & properties to one of his sons, James who later moved to Crosswicks. This mill, we believe, was on Long Bridge Road, the site where once stood Bray's Saw Mill & now the property of Arthur Jones. Col. Lewis Morris' original grant in 1678 encompassed Tinton Falls & a great part of Colts Neck, 1500 acres in all. The English type architecture, like the Richard Hartshorne house (1702) in Middletown. The Dutch style, like the Cornelius Covenhoven (Conover) house (about 1702) on Matawan-Holmdel Road. - - - 
LAWRENCE, William (I1608)
 
24135 Thomas (4), youngest son of Seth and Sarah (Harding) Putnam, was born in Delaware, Upper Canada, October 28, 1804, and died at Hamilton, Ontario, March 26, 1880. In 1825 he located in Dorchester, Upper Canada, which town was later (1839) named Putnam in his honor. He was largely engaged in mercantile and lumbering enterprises and became one of the most prominent men in private life in western Ontario. During the "patriot" rebellion of 1837-38 he became an object of suspicion to the Tory party, and was obliged to remain in concealment many weeks to avoid imprisonment and possibly a worse fate. He had a secret chamber in his house constructed to enter only by a sliding panel, where he lay while British soldiers searched the house. He greatly aided the rebel cause by money and influence. He was appointed a magistrate in 1838 by the governor-general of Canada, a life office and carrying the title of "Esquire." He refused all other public office. By the dishonesty of a partner, Squire Putnam met with severe business reverses late in life, which left him only a moderate competence after satisfying in full every creditor. He married (first) Nancy; daughter of Nicholas Dygert, a niece of General Nicholas Dygert, and granddaughter of John Dygert, who fought with General Herkimer at the battle of Oriskany. She was a sister to Eleanor Dygert, wife of William Putnam, who was killed at the battle of Windsor, Canada, previously mentioned. She bore him two children:

Harriet Ann, born July 24, 1833; married Hugh Duncan Cameron, a grand-nephew of the Duke of Athol and Earl of Graham. He was born in Perthshire, Scotland, July 26, 1833, came to Canada in 1852, was treasurer of the Hamilton Provident Loan Association at Hamilton, Ontario, where he died May, 1895.
Marshall Spring Bidwell, born October 25, 1837, died at Hamilton, March 13, 1880. Squire Putnam married (second), in 1844, Nancy, born 1822, died 1884, daughter of Rev. John Harris and his wife, who was also a daughter of Sylvanus Dygert.

Children of second marriage, all born at Putnam, Ontario:

Ephraim, born October 12, 1845, accidentally killed at the age of twenty-two years.
Rev. Alanson Harris, born December 20, 1847; a minister of the Baptist church, Toronto, Ontario.
Dr. Thomas Job, born December 25, 1848, graduate of Cleveland Medical College, 1877; now a practicing physician at Springfield, Massachusetts.
Dr. William Byron, of whom further.
Dr. Warren E., born May 6, 1857, graduate of Cleveland Medical College, 1881; now a practicing physician of Bennington, Vermont; he is surgeon-general on the staff of the governor of Vermont, and is now serving his second term (1910). 
PUTNAM, Thomas (I1544)
 
24136 Thomas and his younger brother emigrated to Canada first, followed 10 years later by their nephew Cornelius (eldest son of Denis). Denis emigrated in the mid 1840's.

Thomas was the second eldest of the original Callaghan brothers and emigrated to Canada in about 1826, along with his brother Daniel and their families.

Thomas held the original Crown Patent fromthe Canada Company for 100 acres, at Concession2, N 1/2 Lot20, deeded 4 Nov 1842.
He had been settled on this land at least since his application date of 17 May 1832.

After the death of her husband, Bridget moved in with the family of her daughter, Mary who married William Drummey.
Under the terms of his will, dated 28 Jul 1869, Thomas passed the land to his son Daniel T. Callaghan.
The date of enforcement by the executors of his will, John Shaughnessy and Michael Doyle, was 22 Jun 1871.

He left the West Half to his wife during her life. Part of the land was willed by Daniel's widow, Mury, to her only surviving child, Mary (Hart).

Thomas is buried directly adjacent to the graves of three of his children, Bridget, Thomas, and Johanna, as well as the grave of his great-grandson, Edward, son of his
grandson Thomas and Mary Flaghan.

24137 Thomas and Mary lived first in Napanee, then in the Belleville area. In early 1881, T.C. moved to Campbellford along with his brother Denis to work for the new Rathbun Mill,
where he was hired as a Lumberman and Forestry Superintendent. Their brother-in-law Nicholas Callaghan, and several Callaghan cousins from Tyendinaga soon joined them.

This line was extremely ill-fated - by 1910 T.C.'s wife Mary and five of his seven children had died. In 1920, T.C. moved back to Tyendinaga, settling on Mill Street, in Deseronto.
His niece, Mary Jane, helped to care for him as he grew old. He died aged 85, of stomach cancer, and was buried 02 Jun 1928 in St. Vincent de Paul, Deseronto.
They had seven children:

24143 Thomas Gerow Murphy was a druggist by profession.
Sometime around 1910, he left Ontario and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba where he set up a pharmacy.
Later he relocated to Neepawa, Manitoba for another paharmacy opportunity.
He eventually became involved in municipal politics and became Mayor of Neepawa.
In time, he got into federal politics and became a Federal MP under the Conservative Party when Arthur Meighen was the Prime Minister (1926-1927).
He was re-elected in 1930, and was a Cabinet Minister under R.B. Bennett (1930 - 1935).
He retired and returned to Ontario sometime in the 1940's, settling in Toronto.

His wife Lillian passed away in 1946 and he remarried a few years later to a Dorothy R. Manchester. She died on August 31, 1990 in Abbotsford, B.C.

Thomas and both of his wives are buried in St James Cemetery in Toronto, Ontario.
 
MURPHY, Thomas Gerow (I98)
 
24144 Thomas Good Murphy is buried in the Waite Cemetery on Telephone Road, west of Brighton, Ontario.

According to Eliza Cooper (daughter of Lawrence), her uncle Thomas was quite wealthy, and one of the sons was well educated and taught at the Wellington School (circa 1870 or thereabouts).
I have learned that his great-grandson - Louis Carrol Murphy (1902-1971) was a Teacher. An L.C. Murphy is mentioned as a teacher at Wellington.

Thomas was married by the Rev. J.C. Davidson at the Methodist Church in Picton, Ontario to Martha Susan Bull.
The witnesses were Charles H. Bull & wife Lydia Saretta Converse (brother to the bride). At the time of marriage, Thomas and his bride-to-be were living in Hallowell Twp.

It is believed that Thomas went searching for property in Northumberland County in 1839 as Martha's parents had earlier migrated there in the previous decade.
Martha's three youngest brothers - Charles Henry, Amos Jr., and John moved to Warkworth and bought adjoining farms on or around 1839.

The 1842 Census for Percy Twp lists a Thomas G. Murphy as residing at Lot 12 on Concession 2. The Land Records show that Thomas purchased the South part of Lot 12 on October 28, 1839 from Stephen & John Dingman, the property consisting of 100 acres. This property is near the town of Warkworth.
Thomas is listed at this location through th 1842, 1848, 1850, and 1851 Census for Percy Twp. Thomas sold the property on October 17, 1853 to Ephriam Doolittle and he moved to Cramahe Township.

It is interesting to note that Thomas' mother Deborah was living in Percy Twp, near Warkworth from 1842 to 1849 !!!

Thomas purchased Lot 12 - Conc. 4 - Cramahe Twp in 1853 from the Waite Family.
This property consisted of 200 acres. Eventually he acquired the following properties in Cramahe Twp:
Conc. 5 - Lot 22 - 200 acres
Conc. 2 - Lot 12 - 100 acres

The following words are taken from a letter written by Irene Murphy, Granddaughter of Amos & Sarah Murphy - Great-Grandaughter of Thomas) in September 1873:
" Thomas G. Murphy walked 45 miles from Prince Edward County to take up land near Warkworth. It was too far from the front, so he came down and bought land from the Waite Family (about 1853) and settled there near Brighton. That was too far back for Thomas, so he bought land and built where the "brick house" is. This house was built about 1873 or thereabouts. That was still too far from the front for him, so he bought the house in Brighton (believe that he enjoyed it very much until they got too old to look after and he went back to the country)."

Another piece of information that was included in a letter written by Irene Murphy, is that the initial "G" in Thomas name, stood for Good. He apparently decided to revert his surname back to Murphy from Goodmurphy, but kept the "Good"' through his middle initial --- Thomas G. Murphy !!!

Poem to Thom. Justice, by Mrs. Pratt:

Tom Justice was a wreckman bold
His noble deeds can ne'vr be told
If e'er a train rolled off the rails
Tom Justice came, as hard as nails
He drenched the trucks with axle grease
& rolled them back with greatest ease.

Tom Justice was a Carver great
A carver he of first class rate
He'd grasp his knife, so bright & keen
He'd wear a pennie nice & clean
He'd gently carve a turkey tough
With chickens he was never rough.

Tom Justice was a bridgeman keen
A player smart as e'er was seen
He always played as taught by Hoyle
He ne'r made his partner rage & boil
But played an honest game & good
As every honest bridgeman should.

Then here's a health to good friend Tom
To his genial wife - she's second to non
From trusted friends may they ne'er roam
& long may they live in their cozy home.
Long be their days, may health be theirs
Their friends be many throught the years
& many the joys & few the sorrows
They share together in long to-morrows.
