Vince, Thank you so much for all the interesting reading! Joan

NATHANIEL EVANS, a native of England, born 1742, was a young man who had an excellent classical education and possessed great talent. He was admitted to Holy Orders in London, came to America, and was chosen missionary to the Protestant Episcopal Churches at Colestown and Gloucester by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, and served six years in that position. He died October, 1767, at the early age of twenty-five years, and his remains were interred at Christ Church, Philadelphia. At the time of his death he left, in manuscript form, a collection of poems, most of which were descriptive of local scenes and incidents, and of the beauties of the landscape scenery of the Delaware and vicinity. These poems show that the author had real poetic ability, and was a man of superior classical culture. They were published in book-form many years after his death, a copy of which maybe found in the Franklin Library, Philadelphia. The book was sold by subscription, and the names of the subscribers appear in it.

CAPTAIN FRANK H. COLES, whose ser- vices in the preparation of the military chapters and other parts in this work were of great value, entered the marine service in the Mexican War in 1847, assigned to the frigate "Cumberland" mentioned above, and afterweard to the United States steamer "Iris," participated in the capture of Vera Cruz, Alvarado and Hocatalpam, and was one of the volunteers to Yucatan. Captain Coles was born at Woodbury, Sep- tember 28, 1827, and is of Swedish descent, his great-grandfather, Job Coles, having emi- grated from Sweden nearly two centuries ago. His father, Samuel Coles, was an ensign in the War of 1812. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Captain Coles, between the 12th and 16th of April, 1861, materially assisted in raising the first company that went out from Gloucester County, of which he became first lieutenant. He afterwards entered the three years' service as first sergeant in Third Regiment of General Kearny's brigade; was promoted to second lieutenant of Com- pany G May 29, 1862; promoted to first lieutenant March 24, 1863. After being wounded on June 27, 1863, at Gaines' Mills, he was transferred, December 18, 1863 to the Veteran Reserve Corps as captain, com- manding Fifty-first and Fifty-second Com- panies, Second Bgattalion, Veteran Reserve Corps. He remained in the service until June 29, 1865. Captain Coles was married, in December, 1849, to Anna Elizabeth Harker, daughter of Joseph Harker, of Swedesboro' and eldest sister of Brigadier-General Charles G. Harker, a graduate of West Point Military Academy, who was killed at Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia, June 27, 1864, at the age of twenty-seven years.

CHARLES B. COLES, who is prominently identified with the business interests of the city and county of Camden, is a lineal descendant of Samuel and Elizabeth Coles, who emigrated from Coles Hill, Hertfordshire, England, and landed on the Jersey shore of the Delaware River a few miles above the site of Philadelphia, before that city was founded. Samuel Coles was a hatter in his native country, and doubtless plied his trade among the few settlers here in the primitive forests of New Jersey when he first arrived. He built a house near the spot where he landed, but soon afterward moved farther eastward, and on the 13th day of the Third Month, 1682, obtained a right of survey for five hundred acres of land on the north side of the mouth of Coopers Creek and fronting on the river. His nearest neighbor, William Cooper, about the same time settled on the opposite side of the creek, in the midst of an Indian village of Shackomaxin. Samuel Coles sold part of his land to Henry Wood and purchased five hundred acres on the south side of Pemisaukin Creek and removed there in a house already erected. He gave the name of this place New Orchard, which was situated near the head of the south branch of that stream, but has now lost its identity. He subsequently owned more than one thousand acres of land, then mostly an unbroken forest, but now many valuable farms, some of which are owned by direct and collateral branches of the family which he founded in America. Samuel Coles was & member of the Legislature in the years 1683 and 1685 and had much to do with the political trouble of the province of New Jersey, among which was the settlement in 1685 of the first boundary line between the counties of Burlington and Gloucester. About 1790 he went on a visit to England and on his way back to New Jersey the vessel on which he was sailing stopped at the Island of Barbadoes, where he was taken sick of a fever and died. Samuel Coles and his wife, Elizabeth, had two children— Samuel (who married Mary, a daughter of Thomas Kendall) and Sarah (who married James Wild). Samuel and Mary Coles’ children were Samuel (who married Mary Lippincott), Joseph (married Mary Wood), Thomas (married Hannah Stokes), Kendall (married Ann Budd), Elizabeth (married Jacob Buckman and Benjamin Cooper), Mary(married Edward Tonkins), Susannah (married William Budd), and Rachel (married Enoch Roberts). James and Sarah Wild had two children— James and Sarah. Within the bounds of the land that Samuel Coles owned at the time of his death is situated the historic St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, better known as the old Colestown Church, in Delaware township. Elizabeth Coles, his widow, afterward married Griffith Morgan, a mariner, of Philadelphia, December 10, 1693, whose only son, Alexander, married Hannah, the daughter of Joseph and Lydia Cooper and granddaughter of William Cooper, the first settler. Kendall Coles, who married Ann Budd, was the second son of Samuel and Mary Coles and grandson of the emigrants, Samuel and Elizabeth Coles, and the great-grandfather of Chas. B. Coles, who is the great-great-great-grandson of Samuel Coles, the emigrant. Joseph Coles, the grandfather of Charles B. Coles, was married to Sarah Heulings. Their son Charles was born July 7, 1807, and died February 25, 1837; married Rachel Burrough, daughter of Joseph and Martha (Davis) Burrough, and had two children,— Joseph, who died in childhood, and Charles B. Coles, who was born on August 7, 1836, at the homestead now owned by himself, and known as the Coles Mill Farm, in Chester township, Burlington County, near the Camden line, to which place his father moved upon his marriage with Rachel Burrough, whose ancestors for six generations had owned the same property. His mother died in the Eleventh Month 29,1869, aged sixty-five years. Charles B. Coles’ father died when he was less than a year and a half old. When eight years of age he went to reside with an uncle on a farm, and in early life followed the occupation of farming. In 1864 he engaged in the active business of life and has since followed it with unabated prosperity. He has filled various positions of responsibility and trust and has always shown a great interest in the moral and material welfare of the community with which he has been identified and has been keenly alive to the greater questions of public polity. Reared an Abolitionist, he became one of the warmest supporters of the Republican party when it came into being and was one of its foremost local organizers. As a Republican he was elected to the Camden City Council in 1864, and was by far the youngest member of that body, being but twenty-eight years of age. The temperance cause had ever in him a devoted advocate and of late years he was frequently sent to the State Capital to use his influence in securing temperance legislation from his party. Becoming at length convinced of the futility of this method of procedure, he, in 1884, openly espoused the cause of prohibition and became a member of that party, the success of which he has since done all in his power to advance. In the summer of 1886 he was appointed by Supreme Court Judge Joel Parker as the representative of his party in the board of three commissioners, constituted under a recent law, to adjust the back taxes of the city of Camden. Mr. Coles was one of the incorporators and is one of the directors of the Camden National Bank and also a director in the Colestown Cemetery Company. Mr. Coles was married, on June 8,1865, to Mary M. Colson, daughter of Jonathan and Hannah (Lippincott) Colson, of Gloucester City. They have two children—William C. and Henry B.

COLESTOWN.— In the eastern part of the township, and about a mile east of St. Mary’s Church, is Old Colestown proper. But little remains to show what constituted the business of the place. The location is on the farms of Thomas Roberts, Joseph C. Haines and the property of Watson Ivins. The attraction of the locality was a mineral spring with an unfailing supply of water. The owner of this stream had the water analyzed and the record of the analysis was cut in letters on a marble slab and set up beside the spring for all to read. The owner is supposed to have been Allenson Giffins, who built a hotel or sanitarium, which was known as the Fountain Hotel, and was the resort of numbers of invalids and became quite famous in its day. This spring is located on the farm of Joseph C. Haines, but has become so filled up as to be difficult to find. The Fountain Hotel property finally passed into the possession of Joseph Roberts, and was acquired by his son Isaac, who used it as a residence for several years, and his daughter Susanna, the wife of the present William D. Coles, was born in the old hotel. About thirty-eight years ago Isaac Roberts moved the frame part of the building to the farm now owned by Joseph C. Haines, and with the brick and stone constructed the front of the present farm-house, while the original frame constitutes the remainder of this building and is now a substantial, modern edifice. The marble slab that stood by the spring was removed by Joseph C. Haines, the present owner, and does service as a door-step at his residence, near Lumberton, Burlington County. Allenson Giffins or his ancestors at one time kept a tan-yard near the hotel, but it has long since disappeared; although portions of its remains are at times discovered by the plowman. In late years Joseph Roberts owned a saw-mill near the hotel and its location is still discernible. Although the former prosperity of the place has long since departed, the location is beautiful in its quiet seclusion, and if the mineral spring ever again comes into prominence its old-time popularity can easily be revived.

Folks, I needed to do a lookup on the name COLE. I wish to share the data with you. Of course it is from: History of Camden County (1886) by George Reeser Prowell. +++ COLESTOWN CEMETERY.— The dilapidated condition of many of the burying-grounds in the vicinity and the natural desire of those interested in the old grave-yard attached to St. Mary’s Church, created a feeling in the community to provide a suitable resting-place for their loved ones that would be perpetually kept and taken care of for that purpose, and led to the establishment of the Colestown Cemetery. The Cemetery Company was organized in 1858 and has located a tract of twelve acres of land lying adjacent to and surrounding St. Mary’s Church, at Colestown, the oldest Episcopal Church in West Jersey, now in a good state of preservation. The site is high and slightly rolling; the soil being entirely free from stones or rocks, and with a sub-soil of a beautiful red gravel, makes the drainage a perfect one, no water being accessible, even in the lowest parts, nearer than twenty feet of the surface. The location is such that it cannot fail to be appreciated, being but six miles east of the city limits of Camden, and equidistant from the thriving boroughs of Haddonfield and Moorestown. Lying at the intersection of the public roads leading from Merchantville to Medford and from Moorestown to Haddonfield, it is of easy access, which, together with its natural advantages, all tend to make it one of the most desirable places of interment in West Jersey. This cemetery was created by a special act of the Legislature, entitled "An Act to Incorporate the Colestown Cemetery Company." Section 1 names the following incorporators: Joseph H. Coles, Abraham Browning, David B. Coles, Josiah E. Coles, Genge Browning, Edward Browning, John S. Wilson, Isaac Browning, Benjamin Osler, J. Ogden Cuthbert, Isaac Roberts, Joseph E. Roberts, Nathan S. Roberts, Lawrence Browning, Joseph C. Hollinshead, Joseph Ellis, Richard B. Champion, J. Stokes Coles, John Buzby, Samuel Jones, Charles Wilson, Franklin Stiles, John T. Coles, Charles B. Coles, Joseph C. Haines, Mahlon M. Coles, Benjamin F. Hollinshead, Isaac B. Lawrence, Eli Browning, Charles E. French, Richard Fetters, Benjamin H. Browning, Joseph A. Burrough, Hannah H. Browning, Charles W. Starn, William H. Browning, Joseph Few Smith and William Stiles, and provides that "their associates shall be and they are hereby created a body politic and corporate, by the name of ‘The Colestown Cemetery Company,’ and by that name shall have perpetual succession for the purpose of continuing, establishing and improving a cemetery or place for the burial of the dead, at or near St. Mary’s Church, Colestown, in the township of Delaware, in the county of Camden, in this State; and for that purpose the said company may purchase and hold lands not exceeding twenty acres, and enclose, survey, lay out, and divide the same into lots, roads, paths and avenues, and erect and construct a chapel, vault, sexton’s house, and other improvements thereon, and otherwise ornament the same, and sell and dispose of lots therein for the burial of the dead. . ." By the same act the following-named persons constituted the first board of directors: Joseph H. Coles, Abraham Browning, Joseph Ellis, Josiah E. Coles, Samuel Jones, Edward Browning, David B. Coles, Charles Wilson, Joseph C. Hollinshead, Isaac Roberts, John Buzby and Joseph A. Burrough, who were "to serve until the first Monday in May next, and until others shall be elected in their stead; and the said Joseph H. Coles shall be the president, and the said Joseph Ellis shall be the treasurer, and the said Edward Browning shall be the secretary of said company, until the said first Monday in May next, and until others shall be elected or appointed in their stead." But four of the first board of directors are now living, most of the others being silent occupants of the grounds they selected and dedicated as the last resting-place of theirs and succeeding generations. Under this act a company was organized, and subscription-books opened for subscriptions to the capital stock of the company, which was soon taken and work commenced. The land was purchased of Joseph H. Coles, who was elected president of the company, which office he held until his death. Edward Browning was the secretary and Joseph Ellis treasurer. Contracts were awarded for building the chapel and sexton’s residence, and also the receiving-vault. Charles Wilson, of Camden, constructed the buildings. The chapel and sexton’s residence cost $4263.45, and the receiving-vault $122.12. The shade and ornamental trees were purchased in Pennsylvania, and were all hauled there at one load, by Isaac Roberts and Joseph C. Hollinshead. The lots met a ready sale and the income derived therefrom has been sufficient to pay off the original costs and charges and keep the grounds in order; and as no profits can be paid the stockholders after repaying the original outlay (which is nearly all paid off), the income which must necessarily arise from the sale of lots is compelled by law to be exclusively to maintain and improve the grounds, will be sufficient to provide for its care and improvement for a long period of years. The following are the names of the original stockholders and the amount subscribed and paid in by each: A. Browning, $850; Jos. H. Coles, $1300; Genge Browning, $900; Edward Browning, $900; David B. Coles, $800; Josiah E. Coles, $150; John Wilson, $100; Isaac Browning, $100; Benjamin Osler, $50; J. Ogden Cuthbert, $150; Isaac Roberts, $100; Joseph E. Roberts, $100; Nathan S. Roberts, $100; Lawrence Browning, $100; Joseph C. Hollinshead, $175; Joseph Ellis, $300; Richard B. Champion, $70; J. Stokes Coles, $50; John Buzby, $100; Samuel Jones, $50; Charles Wilson, $175; John T. Coles, $100; Charles B. Coles, $50; Joseph C. Haines, $150; Mahlon M. Coles, $50; Benjamin F. Hollinshead, $50; Charles E. French, $100; Benjamin H. Browning, $100; Joseph A. Burrough, $250; Hannah H. Browning, $100; Charles W. Starn, $100; William H. Browning, $100; Joseph Few Smith, $100,— total, $7870. Following are the officers of the association for 1886: President, Joseph C. Hollinshead; Secretary and Treasurer, J. Stokes Coles. Directors,— Joseph C. Hollinshead, John Buzby, Joseph H. Coles, Alfred W. Clement, Edward Burrough, Isaac Browning, William D. Coles, John Campbell, Benjamin F. Hollinshead, Mahlon M. Coles, Joseph C. Haines, Isaac W. Coles, Maurice Browning, D. Budd Coles, Charles B. Coles, J. Stokes Coles. Managers,— Joseph H. Coles, Edward Burrough, Charles B. Coles, John Campbell, Alfred W.

American indenture from July 27, 1849. This large indenture came from the walls in an old home in New Jersey in the 1920s. There are many names mentioned, and interesting signatures on this old historical piece - Daniele J. Huckins, B. Hendry (witness), Ellen McElhone, John Collins, B.Browning (clerk), to mention a few. On early documents like this, 3/4 is hand written. The writing on this particular piece is very flambouyant. This document is also sealed on the lower right.

Thanks to all who answered my question about NJ death certificates not having the cause of death on them. Will try again telling them it is for health reasons.

The following two messages are from the NJCAMDEN-L archives. Note that donors were directed to send checks to Paul Creitz and not CCHS. I had assumed that CCHS was to provide oversight of the use of the "Save Our Cemetery" donations. I had forgotten about my 12/99 donation to this fund until the question about Evergreen was posted to this list last week. I went to both my '99 and '00 tax records but didn't find anything about this donation [other than a cancelled check]. I do have a letter acknowledging a gift I made to the CCHS NY Ship anniversary. Malcolm Sharp encl: Date: Sat, 27 Nov 1999 22:27:57 -0500 From: "Paul W. Schopp" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Subject: [NJCAMDEN-L] Evergreen Cemetery Update NJCAMDEN-L listers: This morning I had the privilege of taking part in the first of several scheduled clean-ups of Evergreen Cemetery. Approximately 1/3 or more of the cemetery's grass was mown, along with raking and trash removal. My muscles are certainly letting me know that I had operated and swung a weedwacker for over 3 hours!!!! Over the next three weekends, the remainder of the cemetery will be completed. This work was the brainchild of local businessman Paul Creitz. After an article appeared in the Courier Post about the cemetery's current condition and the ideas Mr. Creitz had for cleaning it up, Freeholder Riletta Cream took the bull by the horns and called for a massive clean-up effort. This involved citizen volunteers and volunteers from the Camden County Historical Society, along with city and county employees and inmates from the Camden County Jail. In discussing the plight of the cemetery with Freeholder Cream, we decided to form some type of oversight board. I will have more information about this concept in the future. A maintenance fund is also going to be established, with Mr. Creitz donating the initial $3,000. I will supply an address in the next couple of days where donations to this fund can be sent. If you have an opportunity to take part over the next couple of weekends, please come out and pitch in--I know it will be appreciated!! I will be working with Freeholder Cream to supply technical expertise, as well as providing historical information about the cemetery and those interred within it. I will keep you all posted as I have more information. I just thought you all would like to know that the clean-up of Evergreen Cemetery has begun!! Best regards, Paul W.

Schopp" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Subject: [NJCAMDEN-L] Evergreen Cemetery Update Folks: After being out at Evergreen Cemetery for the past three Saturdays, I can tell you that the cemetery is looking really great!! All of the grass has been cut, much of the cemetery has been raked and the debris and trash bagged. Today, we started the arduous task of resetting stones and reassembling markers. With a small gang of Camden County inmates and two very nice gentlemen from the Camden County DPW, we managed to reset well over 20 markers. One obelisk had been toppled completely off of its base, but after much trial and error and a great front-end loader operator (Tony Orem), we finally slung the shaft upright and then lifted it into position on top of its base. There is already increased traffic through the cemetery as families return to pay their respects to the departed. Last week, we had to be out by 12:00 noon as a burial was taking place. I watched a grave liner being lowered into the plot! It is great to see a city of the dead come alive again!! For those of you interested in sending donations to assist with the work, you can mail them to: Save Our Cemetery c/o Paul Creitz, owner Memorial Monuments and Florists 2117-B Mt. Ephraim Avenue Camden, New Jersey 08103 Work on Evergreen will be resumed after the holidays are over. I will attempt to keep you all apprised of the effort. Future plans call for restoration of the fence and additional work on grave markers. Best, Paul W.

I sent in a question last week not realizing when I changed my email address I forgot to resubscribe to the list ~ so any answers to my question I did not receive. Question: After waiting months for death certificates from the state of NJ I received all of them with the cause of death removed! This was the main purpose in my sending for them in the first place. I already knew the dates of death etc. Can anyone tell me why?
