Whereas, Samuel Schooley of Chesterfield and Western Division of New Jersey, and Avis Holloway, of the same place, having declared before several Monthly Meetings, of the people called Quakers, at Chesterfield, in the county of Burlington, aforesaid, according to the good order used among them whose proceedings therein after deliberate consideration thereof, and having consent of parents and relations concerned, nothing appearing to obstruct, were approved of by said Meeting.

Witnesses: Mary Holloway, Sarah Scholey, Thomas Scholey, James Farrow [Pharo], John Scholey, Samuel Shinn, Sarah Shinn, Elizabeth Scholey, Hannah Scholey, Mathew Champion, Mary Smith, Wm. Murfin, Sarah Marland, Daniel Smith Jr, Richard Lawrence, Rebecca Cowgill, Jane Cowgill, Sarah Taylor, John Taylor, William Taylor, Nathan Smith, Rachel Horner, George Holloway, James Holloway, Richard French, John Tantum, John Cheshire, John Sykes, John Abbott, Ralph Cowgill, John Bunting, Wm. Wood, Eliz. Watson, Alice Bunting, Mary Sykes, Hannah Sykes, Benj. Busson, Isaac Cowgill, Robert Taylor, and Robert Murfin.

1726 Early in the year, presumably before he moved north to the new settlement at Bethlehem, Samuel Schooley sold one-half of the tract of land of the old homestead of his father in Chesterfield Twp to William Wood of Chesterfield. He had inherited one hundred and eleven acres of the homestead. He conveyed title to Wm. Wood for one-half of same. The Deed recites that, "Thomas Scholey, yeoman, deceased, father of said Samuel, by will bequeathed to Samuel, one-hundred and eleven acres, being part of the Plantation whereon Thomas Scholey lived at the time of his death. [25] Samuel Scholey continued to own the remainder of this tract of 350 or more acres from 1726 to 1745, when as his Deed expresses it, on the "22d. day of the month called April" Samuel Scholey, yeoman, of Bethlehem, Hunterdon County, Province of New Jersey, and his wife Avis, sold a "certain Plantation containing 190 acres" to William Henn, of Lebanon in said county. The next day a "Release" was passed between same parties for "190 acres, being the remainder of the 350 acres which Isaac DeCow, of Burlington, by Indenture, the 11th. of January, Anno. Dom. 1726, did grant to Samuel Scholey and his heirs and assigns in fee." [26] [27]

1726 Samuel and Avis Schooley were the Grantees in a deed from Isaac DeCow conveying to them the title to the same 350 acres of the Stevenson tract that father Thomas Schooley had originally purchased from Thomas Stevenson in 1714. The deed was dated January 11, about the time that they moved to the new settlement at Bethlehem. [28] [29] [30] [31] Public records in the office of the Secretary of State at Trenton confirmed the fact that the name of Schooley was given to the hills or mountains, because the first purchase there was made by Thomas Schooley, or Scholey, very soon after Stevenson acquired the lands. This tract of 350 acres or more, Thomas, by proviso in his will, directed to be sold, but in 1726 a few years after such sale was consummated, the same lands were again owned by a Schooley, being bought that year by Samuel, his son. These earliest locations and ownerships by Thomas and his son, Samuel, of lands on the mountains seem to determine definitely that the name, Schooley's Mountains, was given to that section because of them. Samuel's house was in the southwest part of Morris County "by the mineral springs".

1727 Daughter Asenath Schooley was born in 1744. She married John Simcock, Jr., of Pennsylvania, at Bethlehem, NJ. They first lived in Pennsylvania, and moved to New Jersey in 1746, and had three children.

1728 Daughter Ann Schooley was born on June 29. She married Samuel Lundy, in 1751, at Hardwick. Samuel was later known as Judge Lundy. He was a son of Richard Lundy. Samuel and Ann were both of Hardwick.

1729 Samuel's brothers moved to the area about the same time. Thomas Scholey, Jr. became the owner of a large tract of land on Schooley's Mountains. Thomas sold the land to William Pew in 1733 and moved back south to Burlington County. William moved to Morris county and then further north to Sussex Co. William Scholey, son of Thomas, Sr., owned lands near Draketown, on the mountains.

1729 Samuel Schooley was an active Quaker and he and others in the area made application to the Chesterfield meeting, and received permission to meet at one of their homes each first day of the week since they were settled "remote from Friends". The Chesterfield Meetings have the following minutes: "Our Friends Thomas, Williams and Samuel Schooley, and others, made application to this Meeting, that, whereas, their settlement being remote from Friends they request Friends approbation and consent to meet together at one of their houses every First Day of the week to worship God." The request was granted on the 10th day of the 4th month. [perhaps the beginning of the Bethlehem (later Kingwood) Monthly Meeting] [38]

1729 Samuel Schooley was involved in construction of a meeting house at Hardwick, in Sussex County, New Jersey. [39]

This was about the time Schooley and Holloway were living on Schooley's Mountains. These mountains lie between the Musconetcong River on the west, and on the south branch of the Raritan River. [42]

1743 Son Samuel was born on February 16, and in 1766 he married Margaret Brown Gibbon, widow of Nathan Gibbon, in Pennsylvania; later, in 1770, he married Elizabeth Willson, of Warren County, New Jersey.

1744 John Simcock, Samuel's son-in-law, was appointed first recorder for the Quaker meeting. He had to be a good pen maker and mender. He used a goose quill for writing and had to provide paper, pumice, pen, ink, knife, horn, rule, plummet, wax, and sand. [54]

1745 Samuel Schooley, yeoman of Bethlehem, Hunterdon County, New Jersey and wife Avis sold, on April 22, the remaining 190 acres, in Morris County, of the original 350 acre tract [1726 purchase] to William Henn, of Lebanon, for 150 pounds. [55] [56] [57] [58] [59] [60]

1745 There was a migration of Quakers to Great Meadows of Sussex County and by 1752 the Quaker meeting at the Great Meadows was known as Hardwick. [61]

1749 Samuel Schooley and others were appointed by the Kingwood Meeting to pay religious visits to the families of Friends belonging to the Hardwick Branch. Samuel and Avis and their children, probably including Mrs. Asenath Simcock and her family, established a new home in the township of Hardwick, then in Morris County. [62]

1751 Samuel Schooley was described in land Deeds as a resident of Hardwick. In that year his daughter Ann married Samuel Lundy. Both Ann and Samuel Lundy were recorded as "of Hardwick." A deed dated 12th of March, 1751 reported: "in which the grantors are Thomas Penn, and Richard Penn, Esquires, and the grantees are Samuel Schooley and Samuel Willson, Jr., Joseph Willets and Joseph Lundy, all of Hardwick township, Morris Co, Province of West Jersey, yeomen". [63] This Deed conveyed the title to a tract of land of 1250 acres lying in the township of Hardwick. [64]

1753 Avis was named as the wife of Samuel Scholey in the will of James Pharo, perhaps her uncle. [65] [66]

1755-1760 Samuel and Avis Schooley witnessed the marriage of son Benjamin Schooley and Martha Lundy at Hardwick Meeting.

1756 Samuel and Avis Schooley were among the first Elders of the Hardwick Meeting [67]. The records of Bethlehem Meetings were kept at Chesterfield until 1744, then Kingwood became a Monthly Meeting and kept records for Kingwood, Hardwick, and Mendham until 1797 for the Friends. Samuel and his brother-in-law, Holloway, were members of the Board of Freeholders from Lebanon township, Hunterdon Co.

1758 Samuel Schooley agreed to procure materials to build a sawmill in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, for John Stevens and James Parker. [68]

1761 Samuel Scholey died intestate at his home in Sussex county, NJ, aged over 63 years. His death was also reported at Hardwick, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. "Samuel Schooley was born in the year 1697, of parents who were members of the Society of Friends and early settlers. He was educated with care. He was cheerful and pleasant in conversation, and of a sound and deep judgment, well grounded in the principles of truth. Although it was his lot to live mostly remote from Friends Meetings, amongst peoples of other societies, yet, the education of his children became his care and concern." [70] [71] [72]

1761 Samuel died on February 8, at Mendham, Woodbridge Monthly Meeting, Morris County, New Jersey. A biosketch reports [73]:

Samuel Schooley was born in the upper part of the province of East Jersey, in the year 1697, of parents who were members of the Society of Friends, and early settlers in that neighbourhood. He was educated with care, and the labours of his parents were blessed to him, through the visitations of the Lord's Holy Spirit, and his submission thereto. Of him his memorial states, "He was a man of an innocent, inoffensive conduct, cheerful and pleasant in conversation, of a sound and deep judgment, well grounded in the principles of Truth. Although it was his lot to live mostly remote from Friends meetings, amongst people of other societies, yet the education of his children became his care and concern, early to impress on their tender minds the principles of Truth, both by example and precept. The happy effect of this, through the blessing of the Almighty, he had to behold in some of his children, who laid down their heads, we have cause to believe, in peace with the Almighty, and in unity with their brethren, some time before their parent, who faithfully discharged the trust reposed in him on that important occasion.

1761 Samuel was buried in "The Burying Ground of the Hardwick Monthly Meeting of Friends" which was used from 1735 to 1920. The cemetery is beside the road westward from Allamuchy to Johnsonburg, and is now enclosed by a stone wall. An obituary for Samuel Schooley reported [74]:

Samuel Schooley was held in much esteem, as an elder of Kingwood Monthly Meeting, discharging his duty therein, and over the flock of Christ as a father in the Truth. His memorial thus closes, "he delighted much in the company of his Friends, and was well beloved by them and others. We have good reason to believe he is gone to enjoy that rest which is prepared for those who faithfully hold out to the end." He departed this life at Mendham within limits of Woodbridge Monthly Meeting month 8th 1761 being nearly 64 years old.

1761 Avis and her son Benjamin lived near the place named Stillwater, along the Paulins Kill River, southwest of Newton.

1763 The Kingwood Monthly Meeting allowed Friends in Paulins Kill River to hold the winter monthly meeting at the home of Avee (Avis) Schooley and her son Benjamin Schooley in Stillwater. [75]

1765 The name of Avis Schooley was mentioned in a Deed to some lands as a "widow." An Indenture, dated the 25th day of October, in 1765, and given by Jonathan Hampton of Elizabethtown, Sussex county, New Jersey, as the grantor, and Avis Schooley of Newton, Sussex Co, in the province of New Jersey, "widow," of the other part." For a consideration of "Proclamation Money," Hampton conveyed title to her for a "Lot of Upland and meadow situate in Newton, part of a tract surveyed for Governor Penn, running along lands owned by Asa Schooley. The terms state in this Deed: "Together with all and singular, the mines, minerals, ways, waters, watercourses, fowlings, fishings, huntings, powers, profits, commodities, Inprovements, Hereditaments, and appurtenances to the same belonging, or in any way appurtaining." This Indenture or Deed was acknowledged by Hampton, on the 20th of February, 1771, before Nathan Pettit, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Sussex County. [76] [77] The above tract of land was 20 years later, in 1785, by will of Avis Schooley, bequeathed to her son Samuel Schooley, Jr., and was by him conveyed to Samuel Lundy, formerly his brother-in-law. [78]

1771 The will of Avis Schooley, of Newtown, Sussex County, was dated June 20. The will named son, Joseph Schooley, 5 shillings; son, Benjamin, 5 shillings. Granddaughter, Ann Simcock, some goods. To Martha Schooley, my daughter-in-law, some goods. Granddaughter, Avis Dyer, a dish. Son, Samuel Schooley, rest of personal and real estate. Executor: son, Samuel. Witnesses: Isaac Lundy, Daniel Lundy, Samuel Lundy. Proved May 24, 1785. [79] [80] [81] [82]

1785 Avis (Holloway) Schooley died at Newton, Sussex County, New Jersey, aged 83 yrs. Her will left 5 shillings each to her sons Joseph and Benjamin. Samuel Schooley received the remainder of the property and was the executor. Avis Schooley also mentioned her daughter-in-law Martha (Lundy) Schooley, and her granddaughters Ann Simcock and Avis Dyer. It is dated June 20, 1771, and was probated May 24, 1785. Witnessed by Isaac, Samuel, and Daniel Lundy. [83] [84] [85]

1809 A "Warrant from the Council of Proprietors" of the new Western Division of New Jersey, issued on the first day of August, 1809, clarifies the location of one of Samuel's homes. The warrant required a "Resurvey of lands for James Schooley, son of Joseph, and a grandson of Samuel." These lands were "situate in the township of Washington, formerly Lebanon, in the county of Morris, formerly Hunterdon in the western Div. of New Jersey" The beginning of the survey was near the Mineral Springs about one mile and a half northeast from Samuel Schooley's former home, or residence." [86]

1853 At the first Centenary celebration of the erection of Sussex County at Newton, the Rev. Joseph Tuttle in his address on that occasion said: "From 1753, when Sussex was organized, until 1768 the county was without representation in the Colonial Assembly. No one was eligible as a representative who did not own at least one thousand acres of land or five hundred pounds sterling English money."
