From: "Perry Streeter" Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:36:46 -0400 Please recall the following excerpt from http://www.perrystreeter.com/garrison.pdf: As noted above, John4 Garrison and James Grover Garrison were co-litigants in a lawsuit in 1764. John's scandal-tainted daughter Esther/Hester later married Richard Christopher and, as detailed in the genealogical summary below, they named their eldest sons John Garrison Christopher and James Grover Christopher. Thus, it seems highly likely that James Grover Garrison of Staten Island was an otherwise unknown brother of John4 Garrison. Given the possibility that the Garrisons migrated from Staten Island to Hunterdon County via Monmouth County, multiple occurrences of the James Grover name combination in this family may eventually prove to be more than coincidental to the fact that James1 Grover was an original Monmouth Patentee. He was also a Baptist, like his fellow Monmouth Patentee Richard1 Stout, who was the father of the David2 Stout cited multiple times above. Both James1 Grover and Richard1 Stout had previously been Patentees of Gravesend, Kings County in 1646. Recently, I got the attention of someone actively researching James1 Grover by posing this question to him: http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:James_Grover_%281%29#Research_Question As you will see from the link, this Grover researcher is questioning the validity of James Grover Garrison's distinctive middle name, as stated in the article: 1764.

BEGIN John Garrison Birth: 1710 Death: 1774 Richmond County (Staten Island) New York, USA John Garrison was born c 1710 and died in Staten Island, Richmond County, New York between Nov 18 and Dec 19, 1774 around the age of 64. He married Hannah --=. In 1730, he lived in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, when he conducted an inventory of John Stout's estate. Their land adjoined. (New Jersey will number 70J) In 1732, Duncan Oliphant of Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, Ohio, named his brother in law John Garrison as one of the three executors of his will. (New Jersey Colonial Documents - Calendar of Wills 1730-1750, pp 360-361) On Apr 25, 1747, Court Coule of Somerset County, New Jersey, named John Garrison as one of three executors of his will. John also was one of two individuals to conduct the inventory of the estate on Apr 3, 1755. (Libra 8, p. 267) On Dec 1, 1749, John Garrison witnessed the deed for the property acquired by the Amwell German Reformed Church. On Feb 16, 1756, John conducted an inventory of the estate of Johan Pilipus Kaes of Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. (New Jersey Colonial Documents Calendar of Wills 1751-1760, p. 183) In 1759, John signed a petition of the Anglican Clergy in Perth to install a permanent clergy in Hunterdon County. (A History of East Amwell 1700-1800, p. 199) In 1761, a John Garrison served as a judge in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. In 1764, he moved to Staten Island, Richmond County, New York. On Nov 18, 1774, he wrote his will, which was proved on Dec 19, 1774. It reads: "I, John Garrison, of Richmond County, being in a low sate of health." All debts to be paid. I leave to my wife Hannah "to dispose of the same as she thinks best, among my children and grandchildren." Also two beds and furniture, and a cow, 2 pots, a large copper kettle, 1/2 dozen silver table spoons, and my riding chair. I leave to my son John. I have already advanced him a full proportion of my estate. I leave to my grandson, John Kitchen, after his grandmother's death. I leave to my grandson, Johannes Garrison, son of my son George. All the rest of my estate, real and personal, in Richmond County, is to be sold by my executors, and the money put at interest, and the interest paid to my wife during her widowhood, and then to my three daughters, Hannah, Rebecca, and Hester, and my two grandsons, John and William, sons of my son William. "If my daughter Hannah, who was unhappily married to Richard Lowrie, of New York, and for just reasons is now separated from him, shall return and live with him again, she shall be debarred from any part." I make my wife Hannah, and Henry Perine, executors. (Abstracts of Wills Vol. VIII 1771-1776, pp. 233-234) The will was witnessed by David LaTourette, James LaTourette, and Isaac Doty. By 1775, Hannah was ready to sell the property. The children of John Garrison and Hannah were: i. John, b. c 1729, m. Elizabeth -- ii. George, b. c 1731, m. Mary Prall on Sep 26, 1754 iii.

END from https://goodspeedhistories.com/kitchens-mill/ BEGIN The Kitchen Family Henry Kitchen and his brothers James and Thomas are thought to have been born in Salem, Massachusetts in the 1690s, and moved to Hunterdon County as early as the 1720s. (See The Kitchen Family Tree.) Henry's brother James Kitchen (1679-1761) married Elizabeth Furman (1695 - 1776), daughter of Richard Furman and Sarah Way of Hopewell Township, and bought land near what became Sergeantsville, probably from Samuel Green. Henry's brother Thomas Kitchen (c.1690-1764) married Sarah Lambert (c.1690-c.1770), daughter of John Lambert & Rebeckah Clowes of Burlington County. Their daughter Ann Kitchen (c.1725-after 1761) married Vincent Robins, member of the early Robins family of Amwell. Henry Kitchen married Ann Wheeler, daughter of Gilbert and Martha Wheeler. Gilbert Wheeler was one of the early owners of proprietary tracts in Hunterdon County, although he appears to have lived first in Burlington County, then in Bucks County. In 1726, Henry Kitchin [sic] of Amwell and wife Ann, "one of the daughters of Gilbert Wheeler, late of Bucks Co, PA, yeoman, dec'd," sold their share in land that Ann Wheeler had acquired from her father in Makefield, Bucks County to John Clarke. Witnesses of the deed were Samuel and Sarah Green, also of Amwell.1 Henry Kitchen owned land in several parts of Amwell Township and a large tract of land on Pohatcong Creek in then Sussex (now Warren) County, but his mill property on a branch of the Neshanic was probably where he lived. Samuel and Wheeler, his two oldest sons, probably helped their father run the mill, but things came to a halt when Henry Kitchen died at the age of 55, sometime between June 25, 1745 when he wrote his will, and August 12, 1745, when the will was recorded. Henry Kitchen left an annuity to his wife Ann, to be paid by eldest sons Samuel and Wheeler. He divided his land at Pohatcong between sons Samuel, Wheeler and Joseph, his land in "the Great Swamp" (i.e. the Croton plateau) between Samuel and Joseph, and an "old plantation in Amwell bought of Samuel Green" to son Richard. The sawmill property was divided between son Samuel and son Henry.2 Samuel Kitchen, miller of Amwell I have not found a deed for a sale or quit claim from Henry Kitchen, Jr. to Samuel Kitchen, but other records make it clear that Samuel Kitchen, the eldest son, took over ownership and operation of the mill and built a commodious stone house nearby. Sometime before Henry Kitchen died, son Samuel Kitchen married a woman named Mary, whose family I have not identified. The couple had nine children, from 1742 to about 1757. It seems likely that Samuel Kitchen either enlarged his parents' house or built a new one to accommodate his large family. In 1748 and 1751, Samuel Kitchen bought properties from Charles & Mary Hoff and from John & Mary Porter. These properties were located across from the old Buchanan's Tavern (before Buchanans owned it) and had been owned by Daniel Robins, Sr. until his death in 1737. Kitchen sold them both to Daniel Robins' grandson Daniel in 1760, giving Robins a mortgage of £300, which was still unpaid at the time of Robins' death. In 1764 the property, "situated at the Foot of Robin's Hill," was offered for public sale. A Scandal Divides Neighbors In 1759, Samuel Kitchen joined with his neighbor Richard Rounsavell and several others in Amwell, Kingwood and Readington to petition for an Anglican church and minister to be established in their area. The NJ Convention in Perth Amboy responded by sending as minister one Rev. Andrew Morton who helped to establish St. Andrews Church near Ringoes. Rev. Morton's opinion of his congregants was not of the highest. In reporting to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, he explained why he had not married more couples. According to Morton, the practice of being married by local magistrates had become well-established, and such ceremonies were performed . . . in a few words, as they are tyd to no set form, but speak what happens to come into their Heads first; & to this they generally add something humourous (not to say indecent), which pleases a rough unpolished people.3 No wonder people preferred the magistrates (who were probably justices of the peace). I suspect Rev. Morton took a far more solemn and pretentious approach to the ceremony. The congregation, such as it was, was not prosperous enough to afford a parsonage property at first, so the minister was put up in the home of John Garrison, one of the parishioners who was among those signing the petition of 1759. Garrison happened to have a daughter, Esther Garrison, who soon became pregnant. According to her, Rev. Morton was the father. This raised quite a scandal, as one can imagine. Morton's defense to the accusation was that "a cruel & wicked combination & conspiracy form'd first out of selfish Views & with a Design to draw me into a Marriage with a vile prostitute, & now prosecuted with all the Rancour of Malice that Disappointment & Revenge can fill the Hearts of wicked people with, has destroyed my Usefulness in my Mission for the present . . ." Calling Garrison's daughter "a vile prostitute" was not a good way to mollify him. Garrison was furious over the way Morton had responded and changed the locks on his house so that Morton could no longer live there. But the congregation was divided over the matter, so Garrison also put locks on the church itself, forcing those of the congregation who supported Morton to meet in the woods. In 1762, these supporters signed a "Testimonial" to Rev. Morton's good character. Among the 70 signers were Richard Rounsavell, Charles and Elizabeth Woolverton, Lydia Robins, Samuel Fleming, Dennis Woolverton (Warden of St. Thomas' Church in Kingwood), and Elenor Grandin. One person who did not sign the testimonial was Samuel Kitchen. Rounsavell was concerned about what might happen next, so he took the church books to his home and hid them there. The dispute must have cast a chill over relations between the neighbors Kitchen and Rounsavell. Morton managed to hang on until 1766 when he departed for North Carolina, leaving Esther Garrison in the lurch. John Garrison and most of his family departed for Staten Island but his daughter Mary did not because she had married Joseph Kitchen, Samuel Kitchen's brother.4 Running the Mill Following this controversy, Samuel Kitchen also seemed inclined to depart. An ad appeared in the Pennsylvania Gazette on January 23, 1766 that almost certainly pertains to Kitchen's mill.5 TO BE SOLD, A Valuable Plantation, situate in Amwell, in the County of Hunterdon, and Province of West Jersey, containing 85 Acres of Land, adjoining the Lands of Nicholas Signe, Asher Morgan, and the Road leading to Howell's Ferry, on which is a good Stone Dwelling-house, well finished, a good Barn, and two overshot Grist-mills, one Pair of Stones in each Mill, two Boulting Mills that go by Water, one other Boulting Mill for the Country, that goes by Hand; also a Saw-mill on the same Dam, which is supplied with constant Water from living Springs, about 10 Acres of watered Meadow, which produces the best of English Hay, a good young Orchard that produces Plenty of the best Fruit, with a Number of Peach, Cherry and Pear Trees; also a Cooper's Shop. The above Buildings are almost new, and in good Repair, and are near the Center of one of the best Townships in the Province for raising Wheat. Whoever inclines to purchase, may have easy Terms of Payment by applying to Samuel Ketchim living on the Premises, or Samuel Tucker, Esq. in Trenton. "Ketchim" was probably a misspelling of Kitchen. The location of the house is right, and that of the milling operation impressive in its detail. Also impressive is the extent of the farming operations there and the fact that a cooper's shop was part of the property. The fact that the buildings mentioned were "almost new" dates construction to the mid-18th century, although there must have been some buildings remaining from Henry Kitchen's time there in the 1740s. But it is clear that Samuel Kitchen considerably enlarged his father's operation. I suspect that Tucker was involved because Samuel Kitchen had gone into debt, perhaps mortgaging the property to him.6 It is clear there were no buyers for the Sand Brook mill property, so Kitchen seems to have decided to expand his milling operation by adding a fulling mill to the complex.7 We know this from an ad he placed in "The New York Gazette, or The Weekly Post Boy" dated April 29, 1771,8 which read: "Wanted immediately, A Sober Man that understands tending a Fulling-Mill and dressing cloth in all the Branches of that Business, may be employed on good Terms, in Amwell, Hunterdon County, West New Jersey, by applying to the Subscriber, at said Mill. Samuel Kitchen." On November 15th, Kitchen advertised again,9 this time in the Pennsylvania Gazette: "Wanted Immediately. A Fuller that can dye and dress cloth in all the branches of that business, may have good encouragement by the year, month, or to work in shares, or have the mills rented to him. There is always plenty of work. Apply to Samuel Kitchen at said mills." Kitchen probably advertised for a fuller because his health was failing. He wrote his will on October 29, 1771, leaving lands and mills to his wife Mary while she was a widow. After her death or remarriage, the property was to be sold along with moveable estate, and the proceeds divided among their nine children. He named as executors his wife Mary and his son-in-law John Rockafellar (1742-1832), husband of Samuel and Mary's daughter Margaret (1742 - bef. 1799). John was a son of the first Rockafellar immigrant, Johann Pieter Rockafeller (generally known as Peter Rockafellar). He had a brother named Henry (1747-1841) who lived in Alexandria Township and was married to Margaret Kitchen's sister Anna Kitchen. (See The Rockafellar Tree.) Samuel Kitchen died about January, 1773, about the same age as his father when he died. In February 1775, Mary Kitchen, widow of Samuel, advertised a fulling mill to let, it being located in "a good part of the county for that business." 1775 Feb 22, "TO BE LETT, For a year, or certain term of years, a fulling mill, with all the utensils thereunto belonging, situate in Amwell township, Hunterdon county, about four miles from Flemingtown and five from John Ringoe's; being a good part of the county for that business, and may be entered on the first day of May next. For further particulars, enquire of the subscriber. MARY KITCHEN10 I have not found a record of how the mill was used during the Revolution, but it was probably run by Mary's son-in-law John Rockafellar until her death in 1805. Footnotes: 1. Deed abstracted in June D. Brown, "Abstracts of Bucks County Pennsylvania Land Records, 1711-1749, Heritage Books, 1998, pp. 153-154 2. I do not have a copy of the will itself. This information comes from the abstract published in NJ Archives, Abstracts of Wills. In the abstract, the will does not mention who got the other half of the sawmill. However, Dennis Bertland, in his narrative for the National Register application for Sand Brook, stated that Samuel's brother Henry was given the other half. 4. Some sources claim that Mary Garrison married Samuel Kitchen rather than Joseph. It is true that Samuel's wife was named Mary, but he did not have a son named John, which is crucial, because in 1774, John Garrison of Staten Island wrote his will (NY Wills vol. 29, 1772-1775) leaving a bequest to his grandson John Kitchen. He did not name John's parents, but in fact, Joseph Kitchen did have a son John and Samuel Kitchen did not. Joseph and Mary Garrison Kitchen left Hunterdon County for Berkeley, Virginia sometime in the 1760s.
