The eleventh installment (paragraph) of the Sesqui-Centennial Address of Sussex County given by Justice Francis J. Swayze on 2 Sep 1903 and printed by the Sussex Independent newspaper.... Churches were few in the county at that early period. I find no record of any except those already mentioned in the Delaware Valley. The first church of which I find mention in Wantage township if the First Baptist Church of Wantage, which was organized in 1756. The earliest record of a church in Newton is the incorporation of Christ Church in 1769. The settlers were too few and too widely scattered to support regular pastors. Doubtless meissionaries like Brainard and the Moravians occassionally gathered a congregation. Even those who could afford to contribute to the support of the minister were not always willing to do so, and a charge of six shillings was therefore made by the churches in the Minisink country for the baptism of a child, which was reduced to three shillings "for those who live without our bonds."

The tenth installment (paragraph) of the Sesqui-Centennial Address of Sussex County given by Justice Francis J. Swayze on 2 Sep 1903 and printed by the Sussex Independent newspaper.... The most important industry of the county in the middle of the eighteenth centry and the only one of sufficient consequence to attract the attention of Governor Belcher was the charcoal and iron industry. A furnace had been established at or near Hamburg prior to 1740, and a return to the heirs of Anthony Sharp of a tract of 494 acres on the Wallkill in 1750, the land is referred to as being above the iron mines. The mines at Andover were worked before 1760. Customs of the Time An interesting insight into the customs of the times is given in the narrative of William Kirby, a deserter from the British army during the Freanch and Indian War. In 1762, he passed through Sussex County, stopping at the Sussex Court House, where he sold a pair of stockings for seven shillings. "There" he says "we bought a bottle of rum, and on our march we met an old woman and gave her a dram." As he went by Colonel Hackett's house, he saw the colonel sitting on his porch. Col. Hackett immediately surmised that he was a deserter from the army and told him plainly, but offered to keep his secret if Kirby would work for him over at the Andover mine. Kirby agreed to do so, and remained for some time, and went thence to Ringwood (in Passaic County). He tells how the men tried to cheat each other. The wood chopper piled his wood so as to cheat the collier. The collier put his charcoal into baskets in such a manner as to deceive the oron master; the iron master, not to be outdone, sold his provisions to the men at an extortionate price. As a consequence, when they had worked six months, if they had anything coming, they may perhaps get a few rags to cover their nakedness at a very dear price, but as for money they would get none though they were ever much in need of it." Cathy DiPietro

The ninth installment (paragraph) of the Sesqui-Centennial Address of Sussex County given by Justice Francis J. Swayze on 2 Sep 1903 and printed by the Sussex Independent newspaper.... The Early Mills In a farming community mills are a necessary industry. Perhaps the earliest mill established in the county was established by Casper Shafer at Stillwater. I quote from Mr. Edsall's description: "He constructed it in the following manner: First, throwing a low dam made of cobble stones, filled in with gravel, across the kill, to create a small water power; he next drove piles into the ground to sustain the superstructure; upon these he erected a little frame or log mill house, in which he placed one small run of stone, with a water wheel and gearing in a corresponding style of simplicity. This diminutive concern was capable of grinding not more than from three to five bushels of grain per day; yet it answered the demands of the sparsely settled country for the time, and was resorted to from far and near. In a few years he erected a better mill, and commenced shipping flour to Philadelphia. He loaded a flat boat at his mill, which floated with the current down Paulins Kill to the Delaware and thence to its destination. The Paulins Kill was thus proved to be navigable, but it was much more valuable as a mill stream, and soon became so obstructed by dams that Mr. Shafer was compelled to relinquich the use of his boat." The mill at Woodbourn, was constructed, as I have already said, between 1746 and 1753. Doubtless other mills were constructed in other localities until the use of water power of the county had been put to good use. As an illustration of the extent to which our small streams were used for this purpose, I am told that the Cooper family, one of the prominent families in Wantage township, built six mills along Clove creek - a mill every two or three miles. Happy Back Up Day, Cathy DiPietro

The eighth installment (paragraph) of the Sesqui-Centennial Address of Sussex County given by Justice Francis J. Swayze on 2 Sep 1903 and printed by the Sussex Independent newspaper.... {Okay, so installment seven was back in June - you can read the others by searching on "Swayze" on the NJSussex mailing list archives page http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl } The statue gives us an indication of the manners and customs of the times, in a section which recites the too free use of liquor by persons working on the road is of mischievious consequence, and enacts that if the overseer or any person working on the road, or with them as a spectator, shall ask of any traveler money, drink or other reward, or shall by any contrivance extort or receive anything from any traveler, he shall be liable to a penalty. As travel increased, taverns became necessary, and within six years after the county seat was fixed at Newton a tract of land three-tenths of an acre, at the northwest corner of the Green, part of what is now (1903) occupied by Judge Houston's office, was converted by Jonathan Hampton to Martin Delaney, evidently for a tavern, and a public house was kept on that spot until within the last 50 years. A few years later the owner described in a deed as an innkeeper, and in 1778 it was conveyed to Jonathan Willis who kept a tavern in Newtown in 1781 when, The Marquis de Chastellux, Then on Rochambeau's staff, passed through the county on his way to Philadelphia. The account of the Marquis gives us an interesting view of the customs of that early time. He found his room at the tavern too cold to be comfortable, and spent the evening in the parlor, where a crowd had gathered to drink grog. He complains that one of them, whom he names, smelled horribly. I am afraid that the custom described by the Marquis was in existence before the year 1781 and I do not feel sure it has altogether gone out of fashion in 1903 (of not bathing?) In those early days the most prominent man in the community was likely to be the tavern-keeper. He was in a public business; he came into contact with many persons, and he was in a position to make friends who might prove servicable when he desired an office, whether by vote of the people or by appointment by the Governor. Out early sheriffs and judges were many of them tavern-keepers, and in the later days a story is told of a clergyman who added to his salary as a minister of the gospel the profits derived from keeping a public house. Hmmm, Cathy DiPietro

There was a large German population in Sussex but the families who went to Canada also included non Germans such as Swayze and Hopkins. The families who went to Canada from Sussex are not well documented and Snell's "History of Sussex" does not begin to detail the hundreds of families who left the county for Ontario. To my knowledge there has never been a scholary documentation and research on these families. J.

Hi -- I'm new to the list and have two queries. First, as to my family, Nicholas Cramer and his wife barbara (last name unknown) were my 3x g-grandparents. They apparently came to Ontario in the late 1700's with seven children, one of whom, mary Anne (Polly) married Nehemiah Wheeler. They settled first in the Ancaster area in Wentworth County and then in Halton County. I have a fair bit of information on antecedents including a copy of a page of the record of the debts to Queen Anne of some of the Palatines who settled in New York in 1710, including Ana Maria Kramerin, from whom Nicholas came. I am interested in all information on the Cramers. My second query is historical. Clearly a large number of people, many of them of German origin, came from the Sussex County area to Canada in the post-war period. Common names include Zimmerman, Van Sickle, beam, etc. Is there an explanation for this phenomonon (other than the obvious, that they were 'loyalists') and is there a worthwhile history of Sussex County?
