Excerpt from An Historical Account of the First Settlement of Salem, in West Jersey, by John Fenwick, Chief Proprietor of the Same: With Many of the Important Events That Have Occurred, Down to the Present Generation, Embracing a Period of One Hundred and Fifty Years At the time the following pages were delivered before the citizens of Salem at their Lyceum, I had not the most distant thought that those lectures would have excited such an Interest in the public mind as to require their publication. But since then I have been frequently importuned to permit them to be published, that the inhabitants of our county might know something of the transactions of former generations. Far be it from me to claim any pretensions to be considered as an author; my avocations for almost fifty years have been exclusively devoted to agricultural pursuits. I am very reluctantly obliged to yield to the solicitations of my neighbors, and permit the press to afford to every one who chooses an opportunity of reading what had before been delivered in the Court House, with some additions appended thereto.
