Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the Kingwood Monthly Meeting of Friends, Hunterdon County, New Jersey: Compiled From the Minutes and Other Manuscripts Beginning in 1744 The region about Quakertown, New Jersey, was settled by Friends at an early date, how early it is impossible now to determine with exactness. A few old deeds which have escaped the ravages of time indicate that some of the families were there about 1726 or 1727. The Friends who were early settlers were members of Chesterfield Monthly Meeting, of Burlington County. In the minutes of that Meeting, under date of 10th. 4, 1729, the following minute is found: "Thomas Williams, Samuel Schooley and others made application to this meeting that, whereas, their settlement being remote from Friends, they request Friends approbation and consent to meet together at one of their houses every First day of the week to worship God; whereupon this meeting, well knowing the advantage the people of God have in meeting together in His name, approve of their so doing until there be an established meeting nearer to them, or until Friends see some inconveniency in their so doing." This is supposed to be the authority for the establishing of the Bethlehem Monthly Meeting, which afterwards became the Kingwood Meeting, the name of the township having been changed to the latter. In the act itself it will he noticed that the location of the settlement is not given. There is no evidence of the appointment of overseers until 1731, when a proposition was brought out "to appoint overseers for Bethlehem." In 1733 Samuel Large, Samuel Willson, John Stevenson, Edward Rockhill and Joseph King act as trustees for four acres of land for the use of the meeting, which are deeded by Jacob Doughty. Nothing is known of the date of the erection of the original meeting-house. It is said to have been a log house, and to have stood about thirty yards southwest of the present building. The establishment of a business meeting in 1744 is indicated by the following extract from the minutes; John Simcock is supposed to have been the clerk. Book A Vol: the 1st. Containing The Proceedings of the Monthly Meeting at King-wood, formerly called Bethlehem, according to the Minutes here-in-after Recorded At our Monthly Meeting held at Bethlehem the 10th. Day of the 7th. Month 1744. This being our first Monthly Meeting of Friends here, friends think it requisite that the copy of the Last Quarterly Meetings Minutes whereby Liberty was granted that we Should hold a Monthly Meeting here, Should be Entered at large, which is as followeth, vizt. At our Quarterly Meeting held at Burlington the 27th. day of the 6th. Month 1744, This Meeting again considering the application of Friends of Bethlehem Meeting who have again renewed their request, and after deliberate and weighty consideration of the matter, Do now consent and agree that as they live very remote from any Monthly Meeting which must needs he on Several accounts inconvenient to them. They have Liberty to hold a Monthly Meeting among themselves, and it is Agreed that the said meeting be held the Second day in each Month: And the Clerk is desired to give them a copy of this Minute. A true Copy pr. Caleb Paper Clerk. No better history of Kingwood Meeting can be written than that which is contained in the Minutes. The following quotations, in their quaint language, tell the story: 11 1 1744 5. "Jeremiah Williams reports that lie carried Seventy shillings which was collected at our last Monthly Meeting to the Quarterly Meeting and paid it to Caleb raper (the Treasurer) towards the Yearly Meetings Stock." 11 12 1744. "This meeting taking into consideration the necessity of Building a new Meetinghouse in this place have Unanimously agreed to lay the necessity thereof before the next Quarterly Meeting in order to their Approbation therein."

Download or read book Franklin Township Hunterdon County written by Dan Campanelli and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franklin Township is a picturesque, rural oasis with rich soils and sparkling streams in the heart of Hunterdon County. Settled in the early 1700s by Quakers, it was touched by the Revolutionary War. Although the township was never occupied by British troops, New Jersey deputy quartermaster general Moore Furman's gristmill supplied flour for George Washington's troops. Its beginnings as a farming and milling community remain at the heart of Franklin. Agriculture continues to hold cultural, historic, and scenic importance, and Hiram Deats, who manufactured a cast-iron plow patented by his father, John, in 1828, is still honored. Charming villages and hamlets boast 99 historic stone structures and 183 frame homes built before 1900. This idyllic area stands as proof that nature and bucolic farmland still hold sway in one of the nation's most densely populated states.
