= I The Bee-ley's of the cotmty are of -Swedish miglu baling been a pgt Of ttir ■ colony that located oolite Eastern alio: c of the Delaware river about the time of settlement of Delaware at Christiana ' Creek. Jonathan, tbo ancestor of the Doctor, was a revolutionary soldier and ' gave bis life to that righteous cause, having been killed in h tile. Tbonip Boeslcy, the son, died leaving his .senand Thomas Jr. to Inherit the paternal estate. /Thomas Jr. was a well 1 known citizen of ("ape May during a life devoted to the public service, in one county in both branches of the iegisla. In assembly In 1870, and Senate from "70-'73. lie was an ardent Republican and the party's standard bearer in the palmy days of Republicanism, lie was a man of large influence, and many fiienda, in fact no one could be found, even of his political foes, wbo did not ItEe him, and hare a kijiti word to say Tnc Doctor began the study of medicine Willi the late Dr. Theoplulus 'Bees, ley of Salem, graduating nfter a full course of study from tbo lien medical schools of the ifkV, in 1828. Like all life for Ihemi-eivM he was at a loss, where to locate, but be Anally decided to littng out his shingle at CitpcJIay Court 1 House remaining there, however, but a ' year, when he removed to Denuisville and practiced Ills profession for 58 consecutive years . In 1881 he became the husband ot Sarah Moore, and during his 1 wedded life the father of two daughter*" 1 and one 'son,. Dr. Et 51. Hceslry wMio is 1 now a successful physician at Bricksboro. N. J. The married daughter Sirs. John K. Clark, lives at Swcdcsboro, and Miss Khoda Is still with her mother at tlie : homestead in North Dennis. Dr. Bee-ley besides being a very sue- ; cessful physician became a member of 1 the legislature in 1840, and "W the Gov. ' emor's Council in 1842 serving- in the 1 capacity two years. While in the I legislaturclie was Ilia advocate of ihe ' for the Insane, and it bad no 1 stronger one Onto he. His efforts in liehalf of the unfortunate wards of the ■ State-contributed largely to the ncccssary legislation, making it 'a snecess. In ' jfyjaia Doctor showed the natural be- ' nevoJence of Ms Ticart. In 1845 he be- j came a member of the Ncry. Jersey Historical Society. stul afterwards; during life, a contributor to it. Wh> n the school law of 188(1 went Into effect he w»»«lected bv the State Board of Edu- f

cation Superintendent of this county, a r position he held to the satisfaction of 4 school/, f!lcers and teachers' till declining ' health caused his resignation. As the 1 head of th^juhbolt of the countr he lie- " came a favorite of the teachers whoever ' cherished tbc wannest feelings of friend- 1 ship and loyalty for him. Before being * made County Superintendent he served ' Ids Township of Dennis In the same en- ' .paoiiy. The Podor vnur a- correct and ' honorable man In all his relation of life, ' to show hit methodical business habit', he was a subscriber to this Journal for 1 26 years, ami in all that time he never 1 Once railed to annually call In at the offlee and pay his bill. In othir matters he was Just as methodical and accurate as In this. But we wish to speak more particularly of Dr. Becslev as a historian and naturalist, fields In wh cli he developed talent of no order as his work in these lines demonstrate. He dearly I loved nature In her devclopcmcut bf living organisms, and had powers n' close y obaefriog her ways of/ worklng. He Uoe.w mote atmnt the birds andfishes of the county than any of Ids cotemporaries. Ills researches Into the origin of tbc buried Juniper foresls t of Dennis Creek sre of greaf end lasting P value, being the standard authority to I this day. The old log lb - Doctor tells of that began to grow when the Tower • of Babel commenced to go op from Uie 1 plains of Chalttea Is a suggestion of the . great age of the buried cedars of these 5 antique groves. We had the plea«ure a few days ago k of looking into Ihe Doctors scrap book. • and examining his collection of ausno graphs ; he has them of the principal J men of the country In art. politics and religion. A letteC from William Penn r shows that remarkable man In most favorable light. In this book are many valuable fiistorieal notes and papers collected by the Doctor during the course ,. of his long and useful life. » We wish to speak of Doctor Bccslcy 4 m the historian of the county in terms or }f commendation. He seemed to stand a alone In his grnerati -n as the one pnblic V spirited man, deeply interested enough in J the erTCTfs of Cape May's history to col- £ lect some of the most Important of them a- in pamphlet form and pass tbcm over J- to posterity. The county owes to the ■J Doctor soma recognition of his Importd- ant work of embalming tbc dim records jjj of "the past, and rescuing them from w utter ohllvhn. It Is to be bop d that r rills work of the Doctor's may be elab- -- orated aod further research ms-te for the » benefit of the present sod future ages. We cannot resist making some remarks founded on Uie "Sketch of (Ja Egriv UHU

tory of Capo 5!»J County,"Iccllng assured that to many of otir readers the matter will be uew. It seems tint in tfifll one Doctor Danid Coxe, of London, had set off to him 95,000 acres of Cape Slay land. Egg Island then had WW acres of soil, a .draft of which came Into -thi-.wdor Thomas Bceslcy'g poasenlon iu 18 W. On this draft Is also located Town Bank on Bay--Lore, the residence of whalers, and Dr. Cove's Hall, with a splrer" The only attraction of the Cape then was the whale fishery, "and it .took about twenty small houses to accommodate those engaged in it. The turn of tho place arc ites-cribcd-aa bciug akK <nl with tbehsr|s-Mi ftr. Cove sold his claim to the West Jer. wy Society in 1692 for 9,000c. It afterwards sold much of its lands, finally in 173(1. con- eying the balat ce to Jacob Spicer Uie second, for 800c. known in " later years as the "Vacant Right." ' The first town meeting tor public business was held in 1092. and Ihe first ' -ournhryrar-trfter. the -gHiKTJury got" their dlmjera at public expepse. It found ifneccssnry to lay out a road most - eonvemrnt for the king and county ao ' sell liquor without lieen«e. and that 40C ' I be raised to defray county expense*. In ' 1713-14 the county came near being do- ' , populated by a grievous si-knew, It 1 carrying off between forty ami fifty of the inhabitants. In 1744 the first u-a 1 , was brought into the county by the , Presbyterian preachers. Daniel Hand 1 , presented the county an acre of land in , 1745. upon which to erect public build- ' ings. , Cape Island was owned previous to ' , 1700 by Thomas Hand, Rmdal Hewitt ' and Humphrey Hughes, they bought it 1 of Wm. Jacocks. whose deed cal!e,l for 1 265 perdtes from the sen to the creek 1 . In 1756 Jacob Splccr, Jr.. advertised for ' 1000 pair of woolen stockings to supply 1 anddmlrins. Hr also offers a rrwirrt of 1 i 40 .shill ngs for -some one who had let J down his bars on Cold. Hpring farm and E mittens reminded Uie Doctor to eliron- , iclo an incident in relation to the skipper r of a shallop plying between Cape .May ' and PhUa'delphia, told hy Benjamin ' . franklin. It seems that the Captain • had done Mr. Franklin some service for 1 which he declined pay. His wife under- r standing that the packet captain had a . > daughter, s.'ot her of a new fashioned 1 cap. But it proved a dear cap to that " congregation, for when the daqgh'cr ap. pearcd wiUi it the girls were so much ' i pleased that each of them ordered one. ' the fashlonnblo young ladies of the per. ' iod was 100C. The cost of the caps of. ' - fccted an excellent result, for the girls set to work knitting socks and mittens " to buy them wiUi, thus giving rise to a * paying Industry. Sir. Spicer gives a list 1 of men about Tuckahoe that could be 1 , trusted, among the names mentioned he" ' ing Jos. Champion, Andrew Godfrey. John Champion, Matthew Stcelman and Daniel IngerafiH. He names others that could not be. but our readers will haw- 1 ttf consult the book to finfl who thci , In 1753, an association, was formed , for the purpose of purchasing of the W. , J.
