In the genealogy of Thomas Stevenson and his descendants
on pages 65, 66 and 67 is given a brief sl^etch of Samuel Stevenson,
of Hunterdon County, a grandson of Gov. Samuel Jenings by his
daughter Sarah, who was the wife of Thomas Stevenson, third,
who migrated from Newtown, Long Island, to Bucks County,
Pennsylvania. Samuel Stevenson married in Abingdon, in the
latter county and state, on 3d day, 8th mo., 1730, Elizabeth,
daughter of Arthur Searle. The births of six of his children, the
last taking place in 1742, are recorded in the books of the Middle-
town Friends' Meeting in Pennsylvania. Before this latter date
he had removed into Bethlehem Townsliip, Hunterdon County,
New Jersey, where he was a voter in 1738- Here be became
attached to the Quakertown Friends' Meeting, by a certificate
from Middletown, dated lOth day, 7th mo., 1718, in whicli records
few births are recorded and none credited to Samuel and Elizabeth
Stevenson. It is not likely that the six children whose births are projaerly
recorded as born to a man 32 years of age, with a wife as young
as himself were all he had, for he lived many years longer. On
August 10, 1758, Samuel Stevenson signed a deed for some proper
ty in which he describes himself as the "oldest son and heir-at-
law of Thomas Stevenson, deceased, late of Bucks County." As
he died intestate his oldest son, Thomas, under the English law_
inherited his property and nothing was left to the second son,
Samuel, born 29th daj', 6 mo., 1742, nor to the supposed son,
Arthur Stevenson, born in 1751. These were left to seek their
fortune in New Jersey or elsewhere.
In the graveyard at Sennett, Cayuga County, New York, are
two tombstones bearing inscriptions, one to the memory of
"Arthur Stevenson, died Nov. 1st, 1821, aged 70 years" ; the other
to "Rachel, his wife, died July 9, 1852, aged 92 years, 5 months
and 27 days."
The traditions of Arthur Stevenson's family are that he
married Rachel Yard prior to 1785, in Hunterdon County, New
Jersey, and lived there until about 1815, wlien he removed to New
York. All of his children were certainly born there. There was
a considerable migration from that section after the Revolutionary
war into Canada and Western New York. The people had been
harassed and impoverished by the marching and counter marching
of the British troops across that section of the country, and many
sought homes in tlie newly opened country westward.
Rachel Yard was probably the great-granddaughter of "Wm.
Yard,* who in 1688 came to America from near Exeter, Devonshire,
England, settling in Philadelphia. About 1700 he removed to
Trenton, N. J., then known as the "Falls of tlie Delaware," and
"in 1712 bought of Mahlon Stacy, two acres of land on Second, now

state Street. He also bought other large tracts of land, so that
when a name was to be given to the place, it was a question
whether it should be called Yard-town or Trent-town." In 1715
he was keeping a public house there. From* the old county
records we learn that the Hunterdon County Court, in 1719, was
held at the house of William Yard, this being the first time that
the County Court had ever convened in Trenton. At the May
term of this Court, in 1738, William Yard applied for a license to
keep a tavern in Trenton. The next year the newly created
Board of Freeholders of Hunterdon County, met in this town and
adjourned for one hour to the house of William Yard. His will
is dated February 14, 1742, and mentions several children.
One of these, Joseph Yard, was appointed Clerk of the Board
of Freeholders at its above named session in 1739. In 1754, he
was elected a member of the 19th New Jersey Assembly from
Hunterdon County, and served until 1761. He died in 1763.
A William Yard (second or third) is mentioned in a deposition
of one Patrick O'Hanlon, published in the New York Gazette of
October 2, 1752, in which he deposes, among other matters, that
on the 26th day of July, previous, he had met William Yard on
the road from Bristol to Trenton.
In the Pennsylvania Gazette for April, 1753, is an advertise
ment ot a lottery for the purpose of affording education to the
poor. It-I- begins, "We, whose names are hereunto subscribed,
sons of some of the principal families in and around Trenton, ad
vertise to start a lottery to build an English and Grammar school
on the S. E. corner of the Meeting House yard, in Trenton, under
the direction of Messrs. Josepli Reed, Benjamin Yard, Alexander
and John Chambers." Benjamin Yard was appointed a Justice
of the Peace in 1778, and reappointed in 1784.
tArchibald William Yard, born in 1730, died in Trenton in
1810, leaving nine children.
