Notes for Thomas Farnsworth:
In England:
Thomas was a cordwainer, a worker in leather. It has long been supposed that he had two brothers, Richard of Tickhill, Derbyshire, and John of Pinxton, Derbyshire. Recent research has cast some doubt on these connections with Thomas of Mansfield and they are being further investigated. It is possible that Richard or John were instead brothers of Thomas senior.
The birth of Thomas was recorded at Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England by parents Thomas and Ellen (or Thomas and Hellin - two entries in the Quaker Digest). He died 8 Nov 1693 at Chesterfield, Burlington, NJ.
On 8th day, 9th month 1672 he married Susannah Smith in a Quaker ceremony at Skegby Meeting House, Nottinghamshire. She was born 17 January 1650, and was the daughter of Susannah. Some earlier researchers named her as Susannah ELLIS in error, probably due to similar entries in the Quaker Digest.
The three English counties of Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire met at an Anglo-Saxon administrative area in which many Farnsworths continue to live. None of Thomas’s generation lived more than half a day’s ride from each other or from their Quaker Meeting Houses. The Quakers came under serious persecution from 1660 onwards. We hold a file showing their sufferings and the distraints which caused great hardship. Thomas and his father were among the many fined and imprisoned for their Quaker beliefs, for refusing to swear oaths in court, not doffing their hats to local magistrates, and for non-attendance at the Parish Church. As a result of this intolerance, Thomas was one of many who decided to emigrate to America.

The Foundation of Burlington, New Jersey
rom: "Friends in Burlington" by Amelia Mott Gummere (held by the Friends Library, London, on reference 098.4961 GUM).
"King James 11, while Duke of York, received by a grant from his brother Charles, possessions that included the entire territory between the Hudson and the Delaware rivers. Previously this land had been in the hands of the Dutch. Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret purchased the land from the Duke of York in 1664 and held it during the many Dutch versus English disputes that followed. By 1674 Lord Berkeley, elderly and in poor health, had determined to sell his portion and made it immediately known in England that the land was available."
When George Fox travelled through what is now New Jersey (in 1672) he found only a few British families along the northern coast. At that time the greater part of West Jersey and Pennsylvania were often described as ‘a red man’s wilderness’, with only a few pioneering Swedish and Dutch and British families seeking to establish small communities along the Delaware. This was to change dramatically over the next decade. Fabulous stories of the American provinces had spread in Britain following the return of George Fox and upon his report that the soil and the water were good. The Quakers, under persecution for their faith, determined to purchase shares in the land.Eventually Quakers would established themselves along the river from Salem to Burlington on the New Jersey side, and from Chester to the Falls in Pennsylvania, but there were a number of hurdles to be cleared first.
John Fenwick and Edward Byllynge had originally purchased a vast tract of land, West Jersey, from Lord Berkeley. Edward Byllinge was forced by financial difficulties to turn over his share of the land to three of his creditors, among them William Penn. They in turn organised the formation of a joint stock company of 100 shares which were offered at £350 each. Those who purchased a share would obtain an equity of one hundredth of the lands of the new province.
Various shares were assigned to Byllynge’s creditors in order to expunge his debts. One tenth of the shares were retained by John Fenwick. In 1675 hand a group of settlers sailed for New Jersey in the ship Griffin and founded their colony on the Assamhocking (now Salem) River.
The remaining 70 shares covering the land north of Salem was sold off to a number of proprietors, including two companies of Quakers (from Yorkshire/The Midlands and from London). They sold well as by 1683 all but ten of the original 100 had been sold, all the purchasers or assignees bar one were Quakers. Between 1677 and1681 it is recorded that over a thousand families sailed to New Jersey.
When the ship ‘The Kent’ sailed from London in the summer of 1677, there were 230 Quakers on board. Thomas Farnsworth of Mansfield was among them, his wife Susannah following aboard ‘The Shield’ a few months later. We are told the voyage was long and tedious, hindered at its close by the obdurate attitude of Governor Andros, agent for the Duke of York’s territory and based in New York. He demanded evidence of the deed of transfer to Lord Berkeley and to the Quakers. However this was forthcoming, and the following recorded.
Council Minute for New York Council, 4 August 1677: ‘Thomas Olive and other passengers of the Ship “Kent” ask for and receive permission to settle in West Jersey’.
Having come to an understanding with Governor Andros, they made their way to the meadowland lying below the Assisconk Creek – at this time an island. Here they landed in August, 1677. During the following three months, the land was surveyed and parcelled out. The One-Name Study has notes on deeds, plots and dates.
Additional land was obtained by treaty with the Indian people, costing on average for each of three parcels of land between Rankokas Creek and Oldmans Creek the following trade-goods:-
30 matchcoats* 20 guns 30 kettles and one great one 30 pair hose 30 petticoats 20 fathom of duffeilds** 30 narrow hoes 30 bars of lead 60 pair tobacco tongs 30 Indian axes 70 combs 15 smallbarrels of powder 69 tin looking-glasses 70 knives 120 awl blades 120 fish hooks 60 scissors 2 grasps of red paint 120 pipes 200 bells 100 Jews harps 6 ankers (barrels) of rum
* ‘matchcoat’ comes from Ojibwa manchikoten and means ‘woman’s skirt’. A kind of mantle worn by native Americans originally made of fur and later of coarse woollen cloth called ‘match-cloth’.
** duffeild was either i) a length of woven cordage or rope or ii) a heavy, napped woollen cloth similar to duffle. Duffles are mentioned as arriving in Boston in 1645, and were much used for barter. 20 fathoms was about 37 metres.
*** An anker was a cask or keg holding 8.5 gallons.
From the Log of Thomas Olive
The Indians are very loving to us except... when they have gotten strong liquors in their heads, which they greatly love'
From: The Public Record Office, London, class E137
Burlington was laid out in 20 blocks. Ten Yorkshire Proprietors were to build on one side of the central street, and ten London Proprietors on the other. Each town lot was paced out and covered ten or eleven acres for a house, orchard and gardens, with extra land as pasture and cornfields available in great quantities.
Item 31 in this class is a very damaged document showing the division of land in 1677 to new arrivals. Thomas Farnsworth (as ffarnsworth family) is listed as receiving one town lot on 8 October 1677. Further land purchases were made by him later, so that by 1683 the Farnsworth family were located on 548 acres beside the Delaware, the site later to become Bordentown. There Thomas established a ferry and a settlement known as Farnsworth's Landing. It was in this decade that the Farnsworth Trail to Piscataway became established.
Prior to the great migration to New Jersey, which began in earnest in 1677, a group of Friends (Quakers) had met in London to draw up a document intended as a form of government by the owners of West NJ. William Penn was one of the 150 signatories to this constitution, many of whom added their names after it was brought to Burlington aboard 'The Kent' in 1677. Thomas Farnsworth was one of these signatories. West New Jersey inhabitants took their contribution seriously. In 1689, Governor Andros of New York again flexed his muscles. He considered both East and West New Jersey still under his jurisdiction and began collecting customs duty from all ships entering the Delaware. The settlers of West NJ, indignant at what they perceived to be unjust taxation, made objections to the Duke of York, who was finally prevailed upon to appoint commissioners to hear the case. So well did the Proprietors present their case, that the tax was revoked. Thus, the people of West New Jersey won one of the first battles against taxation without representation.
Quote from speech by Alfred E Driscoll, Governor of the State of New Jersey, at Trenton, 6 September 1951. "It is too little known that the Burlington sector of New Jersey may well be called the cradle of modern American liberties. It was in a little known document bearing the spiritual imprint of the Friends who wrote it, known as 'The Concessions Agreement of the Proprietors, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Province of West New Jersey in America' , that we find the first formal expression of the fundamental liberties which later became the substance of our Bill of Rights. The Concessions established complete freedom of religion, jury trial and modern rights of an accused, restricted imprisonment for debt, and provided for popular election of a 'General Free Assembly'. The Concessions also provided for a secret election ballot, and for the punishment of corrupt elective practices. It is hard to believe that these great expressions of conscience and democracy preceded our Federal Bill of Rights by more than a century!
(Note: We hold the text of these 'Concessions' in the Farnsworth O.N.S database. The text may also be found in full in Samuel Smith's 'History of New Jersey' ).

Thomas Farnsworth served as constable of Chesterfield township in 1689. His name never again appears on the township records and sometime between that year and 1693 he died, leaving his widow, Susannah, sons Thomas, John, Samuel, Daniel, and Nathaniel. By his will, dated 8th of the 11th month, January (O.S.), 1889 he left all his real and personal property to his wife, to rent or sell as she might deem best. But in case of her marrying again, his real estate was to be held in trust for his children and she was to have in lieu thereof twenty pounds. She was sole executrix. The will was witnessed by William Quicksall and Elizabeth Foulks Davenport and proved in 1693. The will of Susanna Farnsworth was proved 23 Jan 1713/4.

==================
As stated in the Documents relating to the Revolutionary History of the State of New Jersey, Vol II 1778;
Point Breeze, near the mouth of Crosswicks creek, was a part of land located by Thomas Farnsworth in 1681, and by the Farnsworths sold to Joseph Borden, for whom Bordentown was named. Thence the property passed to Joseph Douglass and to his son George. In 1792 George Douglass made an assignment to Abraham Hunt, of Trenton, merchant, from whom the land passed under control of Stephen Sayre, formerly high sheriff of the city of London. In 1816 Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, having been deposed as King of Spain, acquired title to Point Breeze, which he held until 1844, residing upon the property and beautifying it. Until 1848 the home of Joesph Bonaparte was occupied by his grandson, Count De Musignano. In 1850 Henry Becket, British consul in Philadelphia purchased Point Breeze. At the present time (1903) the property is in posession of the priests of the congregation of the mission of Saint Vincent de Paul.

Notes for Susannah Smith:
Susanna came over in Dec of the next year in the ship "Shield," the first vessel that came up the Delaware to Burlington. She brought with her their children and two servants. Her coming was well known among the settlers, and looked for with some interest as she was a Quaker preacher in the old country of note.
The servants she brought were hardly to wait on her and perform menial service but more probably men who had contracted to work a certain length of time in consideration of their passage being paid and food found From the fact of his being this expense his purchase of five hundred acres of ground within a few years of his landing and his not disposing of his house and lot in Burlington until the 19th of May, 1685, when he conveyed it by deed to Anthony Morris, it is to be presumed he was possessed of considerable means for one in those early days and in a new country.

Notes for Daniel Bryns Brinson:
The First Settler was Daniel Brynson, who came direct to Penn., and then to New Jersey, to head a fairly numerous descendency... The best short statement of him is to be found in Jan of Rott. (pp. 312-3), with reference to the Somerset Historical Quarterly, (8 Vols., Misc. Gen). (Vol. III, p. 289) (Orra Eugene Monnette, Colonial and Provincial History and Genealogy First Settlers of Ye Plantations of Piscataway and Woodbridge Olde East New Jersey 1664-1714; [Los Angeles, California: The Leroy Carman Press; 1932]; Part Four; p. 591) Frances, daughter of Princeton's first settler, Henry Greenland and Daniel, who came from Devon, England in 1677 aboard [the] ship Willing Mind, first settled in Bucks Co., Penn. By 1685/86 they moved to a 300 acre tract on [the] north branch of Stony Brook, about a mile from the Millstone River. Quaker John Horner willed funds for building Stony Brook Meeting House. In some cases Daniel's name was spelled Brymson. (James Vliet, "The Van der Vliet Family in America"; manuscript) Daniel Brinson, the son of William Brinson, of Devonshire, England, came to America about 1677. He married Frances, daughter of Dr. Henry Greenland and Mary his wife... Brinson's children were: Barefoot, named for his grandfather Greenland's great friend (perhaps not relative), Dr. Walter Barefoote, and the only one mentioned by his grandfather in his will; Margaret, who married John Van Vliet (or Fleet); Mary, who married first, a Farnsworth, and second, Adrian Beekman; and Anne, who married William Davidson. (William H. Benedict, "The Brunson (Brinson--Brynson) Family," Somerset County Historical Quarterly, [Vol. III] [1914]) A house with similar bark-covered joists [to those found in the house of Henry-1 Greenland], probably contemporary with Greenland's, exists (though much rebuilt) in Princeton Borough at 36 Edgehill Street, a property then bordering on Stony Brook, the Millstone's longest tributary. Beneath the later work is a the house probably built by Daniel Brinson, a farmer, whose name is found in a "Petition from Persons from England for Grants of Land." Fourteen signers at Burlington in 1679 asked for farm land upon which to settle "between Mr. Pitter Alderridges Plantation [Peter Aldrichs, former Dutch leader at the South River Colony, lived at Newcastle, Delaware] & the falls of Dellowar River," now Trenton. Brinson may have settled before he recieved the deed from Thomas Budd of West New Jersey (dated February 10, 1685[6]) for three hundred acres of alnd, as in the deed he is already called a "planter near Stony Brook in ye Province afores-d [West New Jersey]. Also the deed states "...now in tenure or occupation of ye said Daniell Brenson...," indicating settlement. ...In any event, during the third quarter of the seventeenth century Henry Greenland and Daniel Brinson lived about three miles apart on the old Indian path between the Raritan and the Falls of Delaware. Thus is is not surprising that Daniel married Henry's daughter Frances. Their son, later sheriff of both Middlesex and Somerset Counties, had the unusual first name of Barefoot. This probably harks back to Henry Greenland's hectic earlier life when his close friend and staunch supporter was a doctor named Captain Walter Barefoot. (Elizabeth Grant Cranbrook Menzies, Millstone Valley [hereinafter Menzies], [New Brunswick, New Jersey: Rutgers University Press], 44). Following Henry Greenland's death in 1695, The Daniel Brinsons apparently moved to the Greenland tavern and presumably ran it..." In any event, when Daniel Brinson died, about a year after Henry Greenland, he was "of Milston River." Brinson, "being very Sicke," mad a nuncupative will on the 9th of June, 1696, "att night... And being satisified withing himself that his death was neare Approaching, called the persons here under named to him..." These included a widow, Mary Davis, whome he called back later and "sayed you are a Widdow, and knowing what it is to bring up children, pray putt forward my wife to gett my will provied if possible in twentie-four houres after my death." Daniel, though very sick, had much consideration for his family. He gave his wife "ffrances Brymson all his Stock and moveables And also halfe of his Plantation, the other half (he sayed then) he have to his sone Barefoot Brymson, if his sayed wife could spare it, upon Accompt of bringing up her children..." Poor Daniel was dead before teh 13th of June, 1696. "The Inventory of y-e Goods and Chatels of Daniel Bronson of Millston River" was made by Benjamin Clarke and Richard Stockton (early Princeton Quaker settlers) on the "11th day of Agst," 1696 and the list includes "2 hoxen" and 20 hogs (Henry Greenland has been, in particular, a hog farmer. He was acquitted of stealing hogs from Indians in 1686), a quantity of "Putar Platers" and other utensils for use at the an inn. Of highest value on the list (L-30) is an "Engen Gall," which is, of course, an Injun gal, or Indian girl, who must have been made a slave. Frances Brinson married John Horner of Princeton and the planation on the Millstone fell to Barefoot Brinson. (Menzies, 46). Children, born in Membury, Devon, England: i.
