How slowly and with what great labor the genealogical history of the Cape May families of Mayflower ancestry has been developed sometimes from meager information thebare mention of a name in a document, deed or will, is illustrated in the record of the family and descendants of Priscilla Learning, wJjo was born 15 May 1710. Her mother was Hannah Whilldin 4th in descent from John Howland the Pilgrim. As lias been shown in these articles, the Diary of Aaron Learning the second tells that Priscilia married first John Stites, who died in 1748 (will proved 1 August of that year), and had by her first husband one child, a daughter, Margaret Stites, born 1740, died 22 October 1764. The will of John Stites mentions his wife and this daughter, Margaret: — "Wife Prissila to have use of lands — until my daughter Mar- -* — — - — e — — n

grit will be 20," and the Diary of Aaron Learning the second relates r that Margaret married 3 March, 1763. ' Jonathan Learning, son of the author of the Diary. Jonathan was born in ' " 1738, and after the death of his wife ' Margaret married a second time, but the Mayflower line does not seem to ^ be continued through this second piarriage, and is therefore not a part 1 of our present investigation. An ac- 1 count of the neglected grave of Mar- ' garet and her death after the birth 1 of her daughter, named for her grand- \ 1 mother Priscilla, has alro been given ' in these notes. Priscille married Humphery Stites, and the names Cresse, Downs, Godschalk and Town- i ' send are found among her living des- 1 cendants in the county and elsewhere. : The neglected grave of Margaret ; ^Stites, first wife of Jonathan Learn- ' mg, should be cared for, and it is a matter of historical interest that should be protected from injury— apart from the reverence descendants ought to show her memory. If the living descendants will subscribe twenty-five cents apiece it will be sufficient to pay the cost of placing , suitable posts and a railing around

- . • ... the grave. The stone is liable to be 1 injured by cattle or thoughtless hunt- j i era as it now stands in the serab oak | growth near Rio Grande. After the busy season is over, Dr. Howe will undertake to safeguard the grave and . stone, if descendants will make the subscription suggested. 1 Beyond the statement that the Priscilla Learning first mentioned was I the daughter of Thomas Learning and Hannah Whilldin his wife, and that . after the death of her first htu&and, > John Stites, she married Jacob [ Hughes, Aaron Learning the second . gives no account of her history and ' r posterity. The "Divine Covenant ' r Fulfilled in Pious Households" of Bev. Dr. Daniel Lawrence Hughes states ( that his, great-grandfather was Jacob ( Hughes and that his wife was named j ' Priscilla. Dr. Hughes further states that his great-grandmother, Priscilla, j .was buried in Cold Spring Cemetery, • and that the gravestone record shows j that she died 21 September, 1768, aged 48 years. This makes the date , j of her birth 1710 the same as given in the Diary of Aaron Learning the . seoond, and there is no question as to ; . the identity of the two Priscfllns. Hie - I Rev. Dr. Hughes flumes one son of ; Jacob Hughes and his wife Priscilla, , - making no mention of other children. - Jacob Hughes Hughes, Jr., was born » 9 August, 1746, when his mother was ' , thirty-six years old and twelve years | before her death. It would be of - great interest to know of other children of this marriage, and readers are - requested to give assistance in com- '* pleting the full record of this family. Dr. Hughes states, that Jacob, Jr., ; married Ann Lawrence, bat does not give the date of the marriage, and ! ■ it is not found in the New Jersey req cords, but in Pennsylvania under the ' - date of 24 November, 1773, a marri- { 3 age license was issued to Jacob i y Hughes and Ann Lawrence. Another ] Pennsylvania record of great interest j I I to us in Cape May County is found ' - . on the registery of Christ Chjirch," ' Phila. Thomas Hand and Mercy ! Whilding (Whilldin) were married 2. October, 1752. Here a Mayflower j s line comes into the Hand family, and . ' it is hoped that some member of the, family will -toe interested to give the complete record of the descendants — j if any — of this marriage. Dr. Howe j suggests that aside from the cost of doing so, he cannot always be engaged ^ in digging up records, and that living members of families named should assist him in this work. ^ The chidren of Jacob, Jr., and Ann ; e Lawrence Hughes were: — (1) Jacob1 _ j Hughes 3rd, who married 28 July, I 1800, Sophia Stillwell. (For record of • j marriage see Cape May County Re- , cords, Book A of Marriages, page 18). 1 -I (2))- Daniel Hughes, M. D., who married 12 November, 1804, Charlotte ! 'v | Bennett, (Session Book of Gold Spring l*_ J Presbyterian Church), and had two sons, whose names Dr. Hughes does n not give. 1 4 (3) Mary Hughes, who married 17 j ® ; February, 1800, John Bennett, and o | had six children, one of whom, Louisa, . j born 1817, married April 1833, Isaac 1 . Merritt, ami had Louisa Bennett Mer- | ritt„ born 8 January, 1845, who mar- j j ried 15 August, 1861, Jeremiah B. ] ^ ! Schellenger and had Joseph Schel- i 1 lenger, born at Cape May, 16 , ^ I March, 1865, married at Cape May, 7 j r j October, 1886, Electro H. Edmunds. ' daughter of this last marriage t -| r

was Louisa Bennett Schellenger, born November, 1887, who married 8 : April, 1907, William McCalla Bland j and had, Louisa S. Bland, fern 9 Oct- j ober, 1907, and Alice jlcCalla Bland, c born 9 January, 1909. ] t In this case members of the family • have sent in a complete record rtach- | ing down to the last child born, but s it is unfortunate the record of the < other children of Isaac Merritt is not i thus continued down the line. The , i l of the children of Isaac Merrit 1 ' and his wife Louisa Bennett follow: — I { George Bennett Merritt, died in in- i 1 fancy; John Bennett Merritt, born 2j | August, 1835; Alexis Grasson Merritt, i I born 9 January, 1838; Isaac Printz ! !

(4) Jeremiah Hughes, born at Cape May 1783, married Bhoda Taylor. (5) Elisabeth Hughes, married 29 January, 1806, John Church and had Sophia Church, Bhoda Church and Arabella Church.

CAFE MAY OTT.AND THE SABBATH; COMMONLY CALLED SUNDAY. Editor Star and Wave, - User fib- ; We are told from reliable author- ■ ity that there are thirty-three, places 1 open in tffis city on Sunday for busi1 ness and amusements of various I kinds, grocery, clothing, tobacco and drug stpres, etc. All the drug stores but one are selling everything on ' which they can make any money. : Garages are doing a brisk business 1 on Sunday. Among the amusements are pool rooms, moving picture . shows and the like. Pleasure seekI ers are keeping the streets thronged with their automobiles. For the time it may seem very enjoyable to make money and to 1 pursue pleasure on Sunday but remember, that this means war with j the Lord God Alndghty who has j said, "God is not mocked: for what soever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." There is but one place - prepared for the Sabbath breakers i after breath leaves the body and . that is the place of wLSrir Jesus l said: "Where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched, and that ' for all eternity." Will it pay to , fight agarinst God? Where is wis- t dom? Sin has been, and still is, 1 ,• destruction both as to this present r time and as to eternity. All the nations that have become extinct have gone down under their sins. It may be asked, why are these 1 things allowed? Is there no law against them? We answer that r there is no lack of law. The su- ( preme law of God says: "Thou shalt ( not." The law of the state prohibits. { a But are there no officers to enforce, f a We answer again: There are no lack of officers. There is one officer in t particular whose sworn duty is to i 0 enforce the laws but of what avail , e is it- ( 8 Since local authority is of^no a- , r vail, there is higher authority. The , writer has a statement from the ] e county attorney showing how law , c can be enforced, but a union of a ] company of law abiding citizens r would be needed to carry it out. h GEORGE OGDEN e CAPE MAY COUNTY CIRCPIT 1 COURT i e Hugh S.
