people of Griggstown, who now believed him all tlie more a Tory, from
having heen within the British lines: "The news of the capture and es-
cape of Iloneynian speedily reached his own neighborhod of Griggstown,
where the indignation and excitement reached the highest point. It
was well known there that he had gone over to the English army, and
he had already received the title of 'Tory John Iloneyman,' but now
' British spy, traitor, and cut-throat,' and various other disagreeable epi-
thets, were heard on every side. His house was surrounded at midnight
by a crowd of his exasperated neighbors, who, by arrangement, had ap-
proached it from different directions, supposing he might be there. They
demanded the surrender of the traitor or that the premises should be
thoroughly searched, and perhaps reduced to ashes. His wile protested
that she knew nothing of his whereabouts and seemed grieved at his
misconduct, but this only increased the demand and tumult. She soon
after unlocked the door, and, waving her hand, asked the crowd to listen
a moment. They became quiet, and she inquired who was their leader.
The answer, 'Abraham Baird,' came from all directions. Now, Abraham
Baird was one of her well-known neighbors, a young man only eighteen
years of age, of stalwart frame, unshrinking courage, and unexception-
able character, who had from the first espoused tho cause of the colonies
with all the energy and enthusiasm of youth. He was afterwards in the
service, and camo out of it bearing the title of major. In his old age he
received an honorable pension from the government. The writer was
well acquainted with him during his latter years, and he was one of the
persons from whom much of the information herein narrated was re-
ceived. When the wile of Houcyman heard tho name of Baird her ap-
prehensions subsided, for she knew him well, and knew that no harm
could come to her or her children so long as he controlled affairs. She
invited him to her, and he went. She handed him a paper and asked
him to read it aloud to those outside. He did so, after first carefully
looking it over himself. Tho paper which ho road was as follows :
" ' American Camp, New Jersey, Nov., A.n. 1776.
" ' To the good people of New Jersey, and all others whom it may concern :
"'It is hereby ordered that the wile and children of John Iloneyman, of
Griggstown, the notorious Tory, now within the British lines, and proba-
bly acting the part of a spy, shall be and horeby are protected from all
harm and annoyance from every quarter, until further ordeiB. But this
furnishes no protection to Honeyman himself.
" ' Geo. Washington,
" ' Com.-iu-Chie/:
"After the reading of this paper the wife invited Baird and his asso-
ciates to make such examination of the premises its they thought proper,
but no one seemed anxious to proceed any further. A long silence en-
Biied. The assemblage was somewhat confused and confounded, and soon
after gradually dispersed.
"This paper was not only signed by Washington, but was all written
by him, and remained in the family for many years afterwards. It was
seen and read by tho children as well as by many others."
When the war closed, John Honeyman, whose whereabouts from Janu-
ary, 1777, to the close of tho war cannot be certainly determined, but who
was not at Griggstown, returned homo the greatest hero of the hour.
" The same neighbors who had once surrounded his humblo dwelling and
sought his life not only again surrounded it, but pressed vigorously for
admittance,— not to harm but to thank and ble6s and honor him, and to
congratulate and applaud his long suffering but heroic wire. Many
American officers came to visit him, Washington himself being among
the first."
He removed ten years later to noar Lamiugton, whoro ho died, in 1822,
at the ripe old age of ninety-five.
BARON STEUBEN.
In Bloornington, on the turnpike leading to Now Brunswick, and be-
tween it and tho ltivritau River, stood tho old Abraham Stoats mansion,
in its early days a building of some pretensions, but a few yearB since de-
molished. In this house Baron Steuben had his winter quarters in 1788
and 1780. Here he elept, planned, wrote, and held his councils.
TAVERNS.
Iii 1700, a few yards east of the present church of
Six-Mile Run was a tavern kept by the AVidow Wood.
Her husband, William Wood, kept it in 174/3. The
old house was afterwards for a long time owned and
resided in by Robert Priest. Their daughter Catha-
rine, widow of Peter R. Suydam, now living in New
Brunswick, is in the possession of the property. The
house is doubtless the same one occupied by William
Wood, and may be one hundred and fifty years old or
more.
Where the new hotel of C. C. Beekman now stands,
in 1766 was a tavern kept by Joseph Gifford. In
1796, Moore Baker began to keep this public-house,
and continued for forty-four years. His son William
kept it for twenty-eight years, and William William-
son for six, when the old building, called the Franklin
House, was taken down and the new hotel erected on
its site.
In 1766 there were six taverns between New Bruns-
wick and Upper Ten-Mile Run ; two at Three-Mile
Run, — one kept by John Kent, about 150 yards east
of the railroad, the other by Cornelius Waldron,*
where Jacob Christopher now lives ; three at Six-Mile
Run, kept by Wood, Gifford, and Manley; and one
at Ten-Mile Run, by William Williamson, and after-
wards for a time by Elias Baker.

Daniel Brunson, who conducted tho tailoring business until 1806, when
he sold it to Samuel King and removed about half a mile down the road,
where ho kept the " Rising Sun," or what was for a long time called the
"Brunson tavern," now tho Do Mott House. Samuel King lived on the
old tavern proporty, added a second story to a part of the old house, en-
larged and remodeled it in other respects, and established and conductod
tho tanning and currying business, which has been continued there until

Hon. Charles B. Moore is a grandson of Josiah
Moore, who settled at Flemington, N. J., prior to the
.â– ir 1800. His parents were Klnathan and Mary i Run-
kle) Moore, the former of whom was a prominent hotel-
keeper at Flemington for many years. His father died
mi Ten-Mile Hun, Franklin township, on May 3, 1857.
in the seventy-third year of his age, and his mother in
New Brunswick, N. .l.,Oct. 2G, 1871, in her ninety-third
year. Both lie buried at Kingston, N. J.
Senator Moore was the youngest of a family of six
children, and was born at Flemington on Jan. fi, 1822.
Hia brothers and sisters were William, who resides at
Flemington; Austin (doron-ed ; Hannah, who married
I saac Stout, of Rocky Hill, and who is dead : Hart, pro-
prietor of the Count] Hotel at Somcrville; and John,
residing at Kingston.
The earlier years of Mr. Moore's life were passed at
home, and his educational training was completed at the
Lawrenceville i X. .1.) Academy. At the age of fifteen
he left school, and began the active dutie
clerk in the store ol T, J. Bkillman, of Rocky Hill.
II.' thru p«SM .1 I., the store of i-'nrh'o \ 1 'epue, of Flem-
ington, where he clerked tor a time, and at the ago of
n be located at Kingston, N. J., clerking for P.
II. Barker for two yean. With what small capital he
had gathered together he started, when nineteen years
of age, a small grocery-store at Kingston, where he con-
tinued in trade until 1864, in which year he removed
his store to its present location at that place. Here In-
still remains in trade. He also operates a hay-press at
Kingston, and engai elj in the lumber and
coal business, 11 toupies and tills a fertile farm near
Kingston, whioh he purchased in i s: 'T.
While Mr Moore is recognized as one of the purely
self-made and successful business men of S
County, it is in the broader sphere of puhlic life that ha
has become best known. Politically he is a Democrat,
and enjoys a controlling influence in the councils of his
party Ho was a member of the town committee of
Franklin township for three years, and in 1871 was de-
feated for the office of sheriff by only a few votes. In
1876 he was elected to represent Somerset County in the
State Senate, and was one of the most popular and influ-
ential members of that body, being chairman of the
commit! n railroads and canals, and a member of the
judiciary committee. I'pon his retirement from the
Senate, in 187'.', Mr. Moore was appointed to the office
of supervisor of the (Tew Jersey State prison by a board
consisting of the Governor, chief-justice of the Supreme
Court, the chancellor, and the attorney-general. This
is a position of great importance and responsibility, con-
trolling the contract system of the prison, its victualing
and general BUpplies, and is -till held by him.
In social and home life Mr. Moore is eminently popu-
lar and agreeable, and is the ruling spirit of the section
of country in which he resides. He is in activi sym-
pathy with all movements tending to improve and elevate
the community, and is looked upon as a man ••!' integrity
and a politician without guile. No corrupting hand
has ever 1 n laid on him, Ha has been tor several
years the president and treasurer of the hoard of fa
of tho Presbyterian church at Kingston. He
the president of two loan associations at that place, and
a member of the hoard of trustees of the school district
Senator Moore was married in June, 1847, to Margaret
A., daughter of John and Margaret Van Tilberg, of
Kingston, N. J. His children are Sarah, wife of J. F.
Johnston, of Princeton, N. J. ; William, who is in the
co.,1 and lumber business at Kingston : Charles k., who
is in his father's store : and Adeline, residing at homo.

ROADS AND BRIDGES.
It is impossible to arrive at entirely definite in-
formation about tbe opening of the first roads, since
they were mere bridle-paths through the forests.
The road from Inian's Ferry I afterwards New Iiruns-
wiek), to the Falls of the Delaware (afterwards Tren-
ton) was probably the first road opened through
Franklin township. It at first followed the old In-
dian path, and hence its many crooks. A road (or
path) was certainly opened on the south side of the
Baritan by 1700, if not before, as the Baritan lota
were already then beginning to be settled. The 8-
mile line through the middle of the twelve Middle-
bush lots, which was first run about 170:;. must have
become a path or road soon alter that date, as the
houses were built along this line that the owners
might be near the centres of their farms, which ran
east and west. Then, from near the northern end of this
Middlebush road, a road was needed to Inian's Ferry.
This bore off to the south, and joined the Six-Mile
Run road about two miles east of the Baritan. But
settlers were already locating along the MiUstone,
and the Harlingen tract was settled in 1710. These
people needed a means of ingress and egress. A |
road from Middlebush to Millstone and westward to
Wood's tavern (the northern limit of the Harlingen
trad I, must have been opened soon after 17 In. A-
necessity required it to be extended farther west into
II rdon I ' i > 1 1 1 1 1 \ . this was done ; and when Atnwell
township was set off, this important easterly and
westerly road received the name of the Amwell road,
by which it i- yet known.
\ branch was run from the Amwell road at Mid-
dlebush to Weston, through the I Sedar I tow e District,
at an early period, probably by 171o or 17^0, to ac-
commodate the people who had settled at Weston and
Harmony Plains. The latter place began to be set-
tled in 1712. Then, again, a road was opened by 1717
from Six-Mile Run to Blackwell's Mills to accommo-
date the people from the southern end of the Harlin-
gen tract, who attended ehureh at Six-Mile Run until
1727. The Millstone was at first forded at Millstone
and then at Blackwell's and Weston, and thus the]
continued to CTOSS for several year.-. When inill-
dams were erected at Weston and Blackwell's, about
1740, the river continued to he lorded below, but be-
came impassable at Millstone, and a bridge became
i not before, a necessity. It is quite probable
that a rude bridge W8S built at Millstone BS early as
1716 or 1720.
There were six bridges across tin' Millstone, along
the western border of Franklin township, long before
tin' Revolution, the dates of which are approximately
as follows: At King-ion, 1710 ; Millstone, 1720 ; Wes-
ton, BlackwcU'-, and Criggstown, 17-I<» - "■' '

CIVIL HISTORY AND CIVIL LISTS.
There seems to lie no record preserved of the for-
mation of the present township of Franklin. In
1698 the township of Piscataway was extended to the
south side of the Raritan, and the larger part of our
present 1'ranklin remained as a part of l'i- -ataway,
Mi, hi i until 1700. < Inly about three or four
square miles in the northwestern corner of the town-
ship were in Somerset, by the law of I688.f When,
in 1709, the southern line of Somerset was fixed on
Lawrence's Brook, the domain of Piscataway town-
ship, on the south side of the Raritan, passed away.
Franklin then became a part of the county and town
of Somerset, which were identical. As early B
inty began to be divided into towns, and Frank-
lin was subsequently called the *' Eastern Precinct."
In 1760 an act was passed forming and making the
county and township lines. J The bounds of Frank-
lin were fixed by the rivers on the northeast and
west. The luthcrn bound of the town fluctuated
with the southern bound of the County. The town-
ship no doubt received the name of Franklin during
Governor Franklin's administration, which la-ted
from 1762 to 1776. In 1798 the general law for the
incorporation of townships directed that th
porate name of this township Bhould be "The In-
habitants of the Township of Franklin, in the < lonnty
of Somerset." In 1850 a triangle of laud at the
eastern point of the county, between the Mile Run
brook on the west, Albany and Somerset Streets, in
the city of New Brunswick, on the south, and the
Raritan River on the east, was set <>tf from Franklin
to the city of New Brunswick. Except for this
change, the literary and theological institutions in
New Brunswick would belong to this township.
