received his education at the common schools ; has
been an indefatigable worker, carrying on a large
farm, remodeling everything upon the premises, and
erecting buildings which no farmer would be ashamed
to pattern after, for their appearance, convenience, and
durability. He is living in the third house erected
upon the same foundation, probably laid more than a
hundred years ago by John Beamer, a native of Ger-
many, who came here before the Conovers and erected
a stone house. That house was torn down by Mr.
Willever and a frame one erected upon the same
foundation ; the latter was burned down and another
built, which was also destroyed by fire, and was re-
placed by the present brick residence in 1859.
Mr. Willever married, May 19, 1842, Elizabeth W.,
daughter of James Horner, of Northampton, Pa.
They have had eight children, five of whom are liv-
ing, — viz., James H., Hannah M., deceased ; Jane
Alice, deceased ; Robert M., George W., Willard C,
deceased ; Stephen A. D., and Anna E. James H.

W. were prepared for business at Eastman's Com-
mercial College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Stephen A.
D. is studying medicine in Philadelphia. Anna E.
was educated at the Moravian Seminary, in Bethle-
hem, Pa.
In politics Mr. Willever is a Democrat, and has
held several local offices of trust and responsibility,
having been justice of the peace and a member of
the Legislature for two years, — 1855 and 1856. He
has been for some fifteen years a director in the
Readington Fire Insurance Company, and is a mem-
ber of the Presbyterian Church at Bloomsbury.
WILLIAM TINSMAN.
The grandfather of Mr. Tinsman formerly resided
across the line from the present homestead, in Green-
wich (now Franklin) township, Warren Co., and sub-
sequently removed to Kingwood, Hunterdon Co.,
where he settled on a farm and lived there till his
death. William Tinsman, Sr., the father of the sub-
ject of this sketch, was born and brought up in
Franklin township, Warren Co., and in 1838 moved
across the line into Bethlehem township and settled
on the place where his son now resides. It is a beau-
tiful situation, in the rich valley between West End,
or Bethlehem village, and Bloomsbury, within sight
of both the Lehigh Valley and Central Railroad of
New Jersey.
William Tinsman, Sr., married Mary, daughter of
John Fine, of Fineville, N. J., and had children, —
John, William, Sally, Catharine, Margaret, Elizabeth,
Mary, and Emily. Only two of these arc living at
this writing, — to wit, Elizabeth, wife of Abraham
Hance, of Bloomsbury, and William, the subject of
our sketch.
William Tinsman was born in Greenwich (now
Franklin) township, Warren Co., N. J., May 1, 1811.
He married, while living in Warren County, Rachel,
daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Gardner, in 1839.
They have had children, as follows : Mary, wife of
Charles Alpaugh, of Bloomsbury ; Theodore, who
married Anna Smith and lives in Bloomsbury ; Eliz-
abeth, wife of Joseph B. Emery, living on the farm
with Mr. Tinsman ; and Margaret, wife of William S.
White, a keeper of lighthouse in Salem Co., N. J.
Mr. Tinsman inherited 2:>art of his estate from his
father and purchased the rest of the heirs. He has
been justice of the peace several years, and has held
nearly all the responsible offices in his township, has
been county collector, and was a member of the Leg-
islature in 1851-52. He was elected on the Dem-
ocratic ticket, of which party he has always been a
staunch supporter, and an active worker in many of
its conventions.
In his ecclesiastical relations he was first connected
with the Lutheran Church, and represented it in the
General Synod. Since his settlement here he has
joined the Presbyterian Church of Bloomsbury, in
which he is an elder. He has represented this church
in the Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly, and
was elected to represent it in the Synod convened at
Bridgcton, N. J., in October, 1880, but his health
would not admit of his attending. He is a liberal
giver to charitable and church enterprises.

TEWKSBUKY.
Tins township is situated in the northeast corner
of the county, and is bounded north by Morris
County; east by Somerset County and Keadington
township; south by Keadington and Clinton town-
ships; treat by High Bridge and Lebanon. It com-
prises 85.82 Bquare miles, or 22,925 acres. By the
census of l.SNO, it ha- 1-'.' farms ami a population of
21 o.s.
NATURAL FEATURES.
The town-hip is traversed by a range of high and
rolling land called Fox Hill, after one of the early
•tors. It constitutes a considerable portion of
its area, ami ranges generally northeast and south-
west, reaching from Pottersville to Cokesborg, and
from the .Morris county line to within a mile of
New Qermantown. A rich limestone valley sonth of
this covers most of the remaining portion of the
township.
A little over half of the eastern side of the township
is washed by the Lamingtun Kiver, and the northern
half of it- west side by the South Branch of the Rari-
tan, both ol' which furnish splendid water-powers at
Pottersville and Califon, A small branch of the
latter cuts across the northwe-l corner of the township
and empties at < lalifon.
The north branch of the Rockaway t 'reek rises in the
northwestern part of the township in three hi
v 1 1 i i 1 1 meet at Mountain villi-, and run- theme south-
eastwardly across the southern part of the township,
and for a distance of three miles fr its southern
boundary. It furnishes water-power- at Fairmount,
Monutainville, and to a mill below Moiintaiuvillc.
Cold Brook furnishes water-power lor the mill at New
t termantown.
The whole township is a fine farming region, and
most ot it is in a high Btate of cultivation. Numerous
lime-kilns indicate the source of fertility ol' the land.
EARL'S -ill l.i MENT.
The earliest settlement in Tewksbury was made
about 1700, where .New Germantown m.w is, li
was originally composed of English people, Ralph
Smith being the leader ami becoming the most im-
portant landowner. The town was first called, after
him. "Smithfield." He resided in s house stand-
ing probably where Peter W. Melick now lives-
rebuilt ami known after his time as Barnet Ball. Se
may have been an ancestor of the numerous Smith
family hereabouts. He appears to have had a church
• Ool. It. B. ll.ii.'Viiiaii in "Our Home," p. 117.
building erected, which he sold to the Lutheran so-
ciety in 1749. He also sold the lots opposite the
church, on the smith side of Church Street, from Main
Street east His name appears in the managing com-
mittee of the Larnington Church in 1749.+ Other
Kmrlish names appear in that early time, — Johnson,
Thompson, Cole, Plat, Ireland, Carlisle, — but they
disappear again. James Cole appears n- the purchaser
of a lot corner of Main and Church Streets in 1761,
though he came from Boston in 1734 with a family,
having left one child "buried at the east end of the
old English church in Boston in 1728." He had thir-
teen children.
Mr-. Ireland lived on the lot next north of that now
occupied by .Mr, J. Bosenbury,but which was probably
owned by John » !arlisle.J Tl las Holme appears as
I he owner of the next lot north, and he and John Fleet
a< the owners of the corner of Main and Church
Streets, where the tavern now stands. These names
all disappear, and their places are taken by those of
German settlers who came in soon after.
" It was in 17<t. that a number of German Reformed
people residing between two cities in < rermany, called
Wolfenbeutel and Halberstadt, driven by persecution,
Bed first to Neuwird, in Rhenish Prussia, and then
to Holland, where, two years later, in 1707, they em-
barked for New York, but by adverse winds their
frail ship was carried into Delaware Hay. Deter-
mined, however, -till to reach the place for which
they were destined, to have a home among the Dutch,
they set off from Philadelphia by the overland route
to New York."i?
Following the old York Road, they were led to
Hunterdon County, and a portion of them ultimately
to Tewksbury town-hip, where they settled, and
where the present inhabitants are largely their de-
scendants. The old family name- of Picket, Welsh,
Apgar, Farley, Alpaugh, Philhower, Melick, Hoff-
man. Kinehart. etc, Come down from these.
Mindurt barley was in all probability on
first immigrants. He was the first settler in Cokesburg
in the early part of the la-t century, and bought about
â– Jon acres of laud where Oliver W. Farley now lives.
He had five -on-— Caleb, l-aae, John, Mindurt. and
Joshua— and two daughters, — Margaret and Mary.
