[6]

1677 James Pharo and family sailed to America on the ship Shield, of Stockton, England, (probably sailed from Hull), mastered by Daniel Towers (or Towle or Towes). They arrived at Burlington, New Jersey, in Dec. 1677. [10] James, wife Ann, son Jarvis, and daughter Ann arrived on December 10, 1678. James Pharo was a Quaker and was a surveyor for William Penn.

The Shield was the first immigrant vessel to sail up the river as far as Burlington City and according to local tradition it was moored to the old Buttonwood still standing on the bank of the river near Wood Street. On September 13, 1680, James Pharo purchased 100 acres "along the Delaware River adjoining Thomas Wood." This evidently was in the neighborhood of Bordentown, as an early survey for Thomas Wood shows that he settled on Crosswicks Creek which empties into the Delaware a little above that town. In April, 1688, James Pharo purchased 181 acres on Black's Creek which flows into the Delaware River below Bordentown. [15]
1677-1678 "And in the year 1677, Robert Murfin son of Robert Murfin of the town of Eaton in Nottinghamshire in old England, bought a share of a Propriety of land to be taken up in West Jersey in America.

Ann's niece Mary Smith, daughter of Robert Murfin, described coming to America and settling in New Jersey, and mentioned the family of Ann Farrow. See the notes for Anne's brother Robert Murfin. [67]
Mary Smith, daughter of Robert and Anne Murfin, came to America with her parents in the year 1678. The American Historical Record contains a short account of the "Early settlement of West Jersey," written by Mary Smith "which probably has not appeared in print" before, from which we take the following:
"Some relation concerning the first settling of West Jersey, in America, by the English, being in the year 1677."
There came two ships from Europe with passengers. In one of them came several men appointed for commissioners to buy the land of the Indians not only for themselves, but in behalf of others which had bought land in England to be taken up in West Jersey. their names as followeth: Thomas Olive, Daniel Wills, Thomas Fouk, William Emley, John Penford, Robert Stacy, Joseph Emsley, Benjamin Scott. And in the other ship came John Murfin, William Wood, and many others which are not here mentioned.
And in the year 1677, Robert Murfin, son of Robert Murfin, of the town of Elton, in Nottinghamshire, in old England, bought a share of a Propriety of land to be taken up in West Jersey, in America. And in 1678, he with his wife, two children and two sisters, Ann Farrow, her husband and son and Katherine Murfin, with several others, as Thomas Lambert, Mahlon Stacy, and more which is not here mentioned, took their passages in good ship called the Shield, Daniel Gooses, master for the voyage. They sailed from a sea-port town called Hull, and in the tenth month they arrived at the island now called Burlington. They had two children born and two passengers died on their voyage.
The aforesaid commissioners, by an interpreter, called the Indian Kings and Nobles together, and made an agreement with them for their land; and it was after this manner, bounding upon the river to such and such creeks as they mentioned for limits. And their pay was to be on this wise, match-coats, guns, hatchets, kettles, knives, hoes, tobacco boxes and stools, of each of these things a certain number. And when these goods were produced and paid, according to agreement, they made a deed for the land, and the Indian Kings did sign it with their hands. This being done the men which had bought in England paid each man according to his proportion, for defraying the Indian purchase.
After this the English laid out their lots in Burlington, and their lots being but small in the town when laid out, several removed, and went further back into the country; some to the Falls [Where Trenton now stands], but they generally kept near the river, by reason it did not look altogether so lonesome. The Indians being very numerous, and of a strange language, yet by God's providence they were made helpful at the first settling, for they brought venison and wild fowls; also corn, to sell to the English. They were also a defence from the ravenous beasts by hunting and killing them.
Our houses were made of pallisadoes and some of logs covered with long grass. They pounded their corn by reason they had no mill in the country except some particular families that had a stub-mill. Notwithstanding the masters of families were men of good estates in the world, yet before they could get their land in order, and get corn and stock about them, they knew great hardships and went through many difiiculties and straits. Yet I never heard them say I would I had not come here, or repine. It looks something like Joseph's going before his brethren to provide for their coming. I wish those that come after may consider these things and not be like the children of Israel, after they were settled in the land of Canaan, forget the God of their fathers, and follow their own vanities and so bring displeasure instead of the blessing of God upon themselves, which doubtless will be very great on all such.
And after the English did come more and more, there came a sore distemper among the Indians, that they died so fast that in some places their bodies wasted above ground, they could not bury all the dead. * * * * It was said that an old Indian King spoke prophetically before his death, and said the Indians should decrease and the English increase.
It must be allowed amongst all considerate persons that this was the hand of Providence, that did thus provide and preserve, plant and pluck up. It may be somewhat compared to the children of Israel when they entered the land of Canaan; God drove out the old inhabitants of the land and made room for the Israelites.
Without any carnal weapon we entered the land and inhabited therein, as safe as if there had been thousands of garrisons, for the Most High preserved us, both from harm of man and beast. This may be of some service to the future generations to look on, and consider the steps of their fore-elders, which well considered may be to their edification and satisfaction.
The first settlers although whilst they lived in their native country had plenty of all necessaries and needful things, yet they had such a longing desire to go to America, that they could not be content to stay in their own country, but to venture themselves, their wives and children, and all they had to go to America. As it is said in Holy Writ "The preparation of the heart in man is of the Lord," so it may well be believed, that the hearts of these people were prepared for this service, even to labor for the replenishing of this land, it being a wilderness indeed; and they unacquainted with the nature of the soil, and also with the inhabitants, altogether as pilgrims and strangers at their first coming amongst them.
It doth appear that the aforesaid people were zealous in performing their religious services, for they having no house to keep meetings in, they made a tent or covert of a sail cloth to meet under. And after they got some little houses to dwell in, then they did keep their meeting in one of those, until they could build a meeting-house. Thomas Olive and William Peachy were two of the first settlers that had a public ministry. Samuel Jennings and his wife Anne Jennings were early comers into America, who were of a worthy memory, endowed with both spiritual and temporal wisdom. Some part of his time he was made Governor of the province of West Jersey. He was a suppressor of vice and an encourager of virtue, sharp toward evil-doers, but tender and loving to those that did well, giving good counsel and wholesome advice to friends and neighbors; an able minister of the Gospel and adored much therein to the comfort and edification of many people both in this Province and other places.
When the English first came, there were some few Fins and Swedes scattered downward by the river side, and it was said that they persuaded the Indians that the English did sell them the small-pox in their matchcoats, but whether it was them or not the lndians were much disturbed about it, and gathered themselves together to consult what they should do. And there stood up a young prince among them and said "In my grandfather's time the small-pox came, and in my father's time the small-pox came, and now in my time the small-pox is come;" and he put up his hands toward the skies and said "lt came from above," and the rest of the Indians assented to it. Thus God pleaded the cause of his people by the mouth of the Indian Prince. This among divers other instances is worth our observation.
They that came first were near two years and a half before they got a mill to grind their corn. They pounded it one day for the next, yet they were content and had their health generally very well and very few died for a long time.
The English still continued coming in. Many that were of a worthy memorial, which I shall refer to them that are more able authors, hoping that they will give a more full and large account of many things wherein I am short." M. S.
Research Notes:
A biosketch reports [68]:
James and Ann Pharo, from Lincolnshire, arrived at Burlington on the "Shield" in 1678. The Shield was the first immigrant vessel to sail up the river as far as Burlington City and according to local tradition it was moored to the old Buttonwood still standing on the bank of the river near Wood Street. On September 13, 1680, James Pharo purchased 100 acres "along the Delaware River adjoining Thomas Wood." This evidently was in the neighborhood of Bordentown, as an early survey for Thomas Wood shows that he settled on Crosswicks Creek which empties into the Delaware a little above that town. In April, 1688, James Pharo purchased 181 acres on Black's Creek which flows into the Delaware River below Bordentown. The children of James and Ann Pharo were Jarvis, Amos and Ann. Jarvis married Elizabeth Willits and settled in Springfield Township afterwards moving to Tuckerton early in the Eighteenth Century.
A biosketch reports [69] [70]:
James Pharo, founder of the New Jersey branch of the family, came from Lincolnshire, England, in the ship "Shields" and was among the first settlers of Burlington, New Jersey. "On the 10th day of December, 1678, the ship 'Shields' came to Burlington, being the first ship to come that far up the Delaware river." James Pharo was a surveyor for William Penn. The wife of James Pharo, who was named Ann, his son Jarvis (or Gervais) and his daughter Anne, accompanied him to America. In the bible of Timothy Pharo, senior, we find the following record: "The Pharos (meaning James Pharo's children) were born near the great Minister in the city of Lincolnshire, old England." Two other children, Mary and James, were born in New Jersey. James Pharo died Third month 3, 1688.
1694 Daniel Leeds gave a deed, dated in April, to Sara Farre. [71]
