Excerpt from Biographical Review: This Volume Contains Biographical Sketches of Leading Citizens of Cumberland County, New JerseyE take pleasure in presenting to our patrons the completed volume of biogra phies of representative citizens of Cumberland County, New Jersey, feeling confident that this collection of contemporary life sketches and portraits, filling a place hitherto unoccupied, will be found to possess sufficient intrinsic merit to justify its existence. Lts publication in the one' hundred and fiftieth year of the existence of the County of Cumberland, which in 1747 was separated from Salem County and named for the victor of Culloden, may well be regarded as timely, the book being in some sort a mark of the progress of a century and a half. Some of the family names here registered, it will be noted, go back much farther than that, even to the early years of the settlement of Fenwick's Colony, and others recall the daring deeds and heroic sacrifices of the determined men and devoted women of the Revolu tionary period.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
