The Aged Representative ol a Long Line ol Ancestors.JameB Dare,of Ore enwloh Township, is one of the very old men of Cumberland county, and one too, who,though leading a quiet and domestic country life in at Greenwich, has, in his day, been connected socially and otherwise, with most of the prominent men of the county, and many prominent persons outside of the county.The family of Dare, of which he is a representative, is one of the most remarkable in ancestry of this section of the State. A sketch of its genealogy would be interesting, and would be found to inolude in some of its branches, the Nixons, the Mulfords, and the Fithians.The family is from the south of England origin; William Dare, the First, was a sea captain,and came to Philadelphia from his native shire Dorsetshire in the south of England. He built the “Blue Anchor” hotel,at which William Penn stopped, and was the first Englishman to build a house in Philadelphia. Up to that time the only inhabitants of Philadelphia were Swedes.Captain William Dare and his wife, Constanoe, had three sons,—William, Robert, and Benoni, and from these came the three families of that name now residing In this city.From the branch of whioh William was the progenitor, came David Dare, the father ef Robert Dare of this city; from the branch of Benoni, descended the James Dare of this sketch, and from the branch of Robert, descended druggist Charles F. Dare.The Captain William Dare, became the first Bnerlff of Salem county by appointment by viscount Lord Corn-bury, Governor of the colony. There is yet extant two copies of the oommis sion of this appointment.Benoni Dare, his son, had a son named James Dare; James Dare, was the father of Hugh Blackwood Dare, who married Martha Angevine. The subject of this sketch, James Dare was the result of this marriage and was their only child. He was born July 24th 1803,and will therefore be’89 years years old next July.The father of Martha Angevine was a Dissenter, or Baptist, and preaohed in the neighborhood of where is now Buck's Dairy Farm. She died when James was three years old.He went to school at Shiloh and was a echcolmate of the late Dr. Geo. Tomlinson; their teacher was a Dr. Wood who went to Cincinnati and afterward became the most eminent phyeio^an of that city, When a young man, James, started to go to Cincinnati, with the doctor, to whom .he was greatly attached, and got as far as Buffalo, N. Y. He went with the idea of making money, but when he got to Buffalo it struck him that he had not yet made all the money there was in Jersey and he would come back and gtet that first. He therefore turned his steps homeward and walked tb$ entire distance from Bufllo to his home in Greenwioh.Mr. Dare learned the trade of weaver of a Friend by the name of Nathaniel Rulon, of a very aristocratic family and a man of means. He not only succeeded in learning Friend Rulon’s trade, but he also courted and married Prudence, his employer’s daughter. With Prudence Rulon he got a snug farm. This lady was the mother of the late druggist, Franklin Dare, of this city, and Mark R. Dare, of Bay Side.Mr. Dare, whatever his religious creed might have been before, now became a proselyte to the Society of Friends, joined their meeting and became an ardent advocate of their principles, finally becoming a preacher among them.He married twice after the death of his first wife; his second wife was Sarah Smith, daughter of Andrew Smith, very wealthy man of Elgin-boro township, Salem Co. Their children were Prudence Dare, now the wife of James Butler, of Greenwich, with whom Mr. Dare now resides, and Richard S. Dare, of Swathmore, Pa., and Sarah T. Dare, wife of S. F. Coleman, of Ocean View, Cape May Co.His third wife was Hannah B. Har, mer/who died about three years ago.He was an early advooate of the N. J. Southern railroad, and was one of the flrafc of Greenwich township to subscribe to its stock.Each of his three wives inherited a large amount of real estate whioh has descended to their heirs.Mr. Dare, in politics has been an ardent Republican ever since the estab-For the Poor.Over in Millville the City Council pays a physician $250 per year for giving medical attendance to the poor. Bridgeton should not hesitate a moment to follow this noble example. No one knows how many deserving oases there are here among the poor, and yet these poverty-strtoken people can suffer for weeks, and not have any assistance whatever. Almost every day some such oase qpmes before the Mayor, but he has no authority in the matter, and the suffering continues. Something should be done, which will authorize a physician to look after these poor people.With Ely’s Cream BalnTsTchiid can be treated without pain and with perfect safety.
