An excerpt from a history of the Chesterfield-Crosswicks Quaker meeting-house has the following summary [27]:
The Chesterfield Monthly Meeting’s first minutes date to 1684, although it is assumed that informal meetings took place prior to this date. The year 1684 also marked the sale of six acres to Frances Davenport, a Crosswicks Quaker and New Jersey Assemblyman, who gave the property for use by the Quakers. This six-acre tract is still owned by the Quakers, and is where our meeting house and First Day School are situated.
By 1692, a small wooden meeting house had been built on the Quaker property in Crosswicks, and in 1706 it was replaced by a larger one located at the north of the property, approximately where the Crosswicks Community House is located today. In 1773, using the newly built Buckingham Meeting House in Bucks County, PA, as a model, the Chesterfield Friends built the current brick meeting house at a cost of £3,750. The structure took nearly three years to complete and was finally finished on the eve of the Revolutionary War in 1776.
1820 Benjamin Schooley was taxed in Nottingham Twp, Burlington County, New Jersey. [28]

1823 Benoni Chamberlin, an apprentice for Benjamin Schooley, was killed by lightning on August 25. Benjamin Schooley was living near the drawbridge in Chesterfield township. [31]
Benjamin Schooley may have lived near the drawbridge over Crosswicks Creek (Deed dated 1821), which was important during the Revolutionary War, some 50 years previously. [32]
To George Washington from Major General Philemon Dickinson, 22 June 1778, Bordentown [N.J.]
Dear Sir
At one oClock this morning, I received information, that the Enemy were endeavouring to surround us, with a strong detachment which marched last Evening from Holly, the Informant said, they intended to take possession, of Crosswicks, & the Drawbridge, whilst their main body moved on, in our rear—I thought our situation very precarious, therefore am now preparing to cross, the Creek (Crosswicks) having called in all the scouting Parties.Genl Maxwell with his Brigade, & part of the Militia, will take post, at Crosswicks bridge—myself near the Drawbridge, where I shall throw up two small works, as the Ground is very advantageous, & will cost them some trouble.
Several Expresses arrived here within a few minutes, all of whom agree, that the Enemy are advancing towards the Black-horse, their advanced Guard, is one mile on this side Slab Town—the body which lay at Moores Town, joined those at Mount Holly, yesterday afternoon at 2, OClock, they are all now collected—& I believe their march will be more rapid—I shall write your Excellency this Evening again—one of the Videts, thinks they are taking the Job’s Town road—this matter will very soon, be ascertaind—but think it proper, not to detain the Express—as they are actually on their march.

[85] She was buried at Jericho Cemetery, Wayne Twp, Randolph County, Indiana. [86] A cemetery transcription made about 1882 lists, next to the listing for Benjamin Schooley, a Schooley stone with date November 12, 1868, age 77 years, which could be this marker. [87] Quaker Cemetery records forJericho Burying Ground report these dates of death, but have inconsistent ages at death for Benjamin and Ann K Schooley. [88] [89]

1898 John D Hartshorn wrote his will on October 19. The will gave to granddaughter Mary Clark, daughter of daughter Mary Alice Clark wife of Harry T Clark, the portraits of Benjamin Schooley and wife Ann Schooley, great grandparents of Mary Clark. The will named daughter Areli Schooley Eiseman, wife of Gilbert M Eiseman. Presented to the court in Cincinnati on May 1, 1899. [93]
Research Notes:
Areli Schooley Hartshorn (1867-1927) was named as a daughter of John D. Hartshorn (1823-1899) and Elizabeth Schooley (1824-1893) in an application to Sons of the American Revolution. The ancestry continued through Benjamin Schooley (1789-1867) and Ann K. Ivins (1791-1868), [error: should be James Schooley] Joseph Schooley (1760-1846), and Benjamin Schooley (1733-1807). Benjamin Schooley Sr. accrued interest on Continental Bills of Credit. [94] [95]
The New Jericho cemetery, where Benjamin and Ann were buried, is located near the original Jericho (Quaker) Meetinghouse, on Owl Creek. In 1833 a "new" cemetery was begun on a mound about a mile west of Old Jericho. In 1938, the stone markers that still existed were taken up and placed in the sides of a single large stone. A fence was put up surrounding this stone. Look west from County Road 500E, about a half mile north of County Road 100S. It is at the edge of the woods. Adjacent burial is Aaron K Schooley, relationship unknown, Nov 12, 1868. Age 77 years, no photo.
1869 Aaron K Schooley died at age 74 on November 12. He was buried at Jericho cemetery, Wayne Twp, Randolph County, Indiana. Perhaps Aaron was a son of Benjamin Schooley and Ann Kirkbride Ivins and Aaron's age at death was recorded incorrectly.
1880 The death of an Ann Ivins on December 16, 1880 at age 80 was given in a family bible. [96] This bible entry could refer to this Ann Kirkbride Ivins Schooley, based on the fact that Benjamin Schooley's mother was Mary Rogers.
There was another Benjamin Schooley family, at Spiceland meeting, Indiana. Perhaps he was Benjamin Schooley (1813-1867) of Virginia and then Indiana with spouse Rebecca Johnson. [97]
