Here, also, occurred the raid of "the Greens" in the early June morning, the 5th, 1778. The object was to capture the son, Major John, at home for a few hours. He was alarmed in time to jump from his bed, reach the lower story. es:ape through a window, swim the creek and find safety through his knowledge of the country. The picture to the right shows the fine old hall of the Burrowes house. The chair on the first landing marks the spot where Mrs. Burrowes was met and sabred by the brutal officer for re- fusing her shawl to bind the wounds of a raider - a wound resulting in blood poisoning and death in very early life. The burning of the mills owned by Burrowes & Forman is re- corded in local histories. The taking of John Burrowes, Sr., to a prison ship, the seizure of two prominent Tories of Middletown by Colonel Henderson and William Wikoff, bringing them to Mon- mouth jail as hostages, and that se- curing Burrowes' release. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ iii APPENDIX.

No county in the State of New Jersey suffered more during the Revolution than did Monmouth, and in no county did the citizens respond more nobly. The proximity to the shore and readi- ness of access by boat from New York rendered it peculiarly the prey of the British. There was super-added to that, a lawless element even more irrespons- ible and regarding- less the rules of warfare, than the guerillas in our late Civil War. Tories and refugees, well acquainted with the county and know- ing the inhabitants, preyed upon the aged and infirm who had property that they could take or destroy, and com- mitted all sorts of excesses and out- rages, shooting children and old men and hanging women, burning houses and barns, and destroying animals and other property that they could not con- veniently carry off. Notwithstanding, many of her able bodied men were in the Army, the large proportion of those that remained were to be found in the Militia. The Tories and pine robbers had no compunction against invading and destroying homes that were occupied only by the women and the feeble. So obnoxious did they become, aided as they were by the more cowardly neighbors of the patriots, who while committing no overt act, were in league with Tories and re- fugees, that the Monmouth patriots were forced to take action against traitors in their midst. Hence it is that there has come down to us a document, which while it adds to the history of the county a valuable chapter, is also a roll of honor for the descendants of those who thus banded themselves to- gether in their country's defense. It was in the spring of the year 1780 that the patriots of Monmouth, tried beyond measure by repeated outrages and rob- beries, and realizing the assistance the non-combatant Tories still living un- molested in their midst were rendering the refugees, Tories and pine robbers, resolved on redress by retaliation. The document which follows is unique, and of the 436 names subscribed nearly one- half served either in the Continental Army or in the Monmouth Militia be- fore the war was concluded. Every part of the county was represented, and the Committees of Safety of the various townships are represented among the names of those who were not only will- ing to associate but also to have that fact advertised in the New Jersey Ga- zette. The Articles of Association are as follows:-- MONMOUTH ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION. Whereas from the frequent incur- sions and depredations of the enemy (and more particularly of the refugees) in this county, whereby not only the lives but the liberty and property of every determined Whig are endangered, they, upon every such incursion, either burning or destroying houses, making prisoners of, and most inhumanly treat- ing aged and peaceable inhabitants, and plundering them of all portable property, it has become essentially nec- essary to take some different and more effectual measures to check said prac- tices, than have ever yet been taken; and as it is a fact, notorious to every one, that these depredations have al- ways been committed by the refugees (either black or white) that have left this country, or by their influence or procurement, many of whom have near relations and friends, that in general have been suffered to reside unmolested among us, numbers of which, we have full reason to believe, are aiding and accessory to those detestable practices. We, the subscribers, inhabitants of the county of Monmouth, actuated solely by the principles of self-preservation, being of opinion that the measure will be strictly justifiable on the common principles of war, and being encour- aged thereto by an unanimous resolve of the honorable the congress, passed the 30th of Oct., 1778, wherein they in the most solemn manner declare that through every possible change of for- [xviii] THE MONMOUTH ASSOCIATORS. tune they will retaliate, do hereby sol- emnly associate for the purpose of re- taliation, and do obligate ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, and every of them jointly and severally, to all and every of the subscribers and their heirs, &c, to warrant and defend such persons as may be appointed to assist this association in the execution thereof; and that we will abide by and adhere to such rules and regulations for the purpose of making restitution to such friends to their country as may hereafter have their houses burned or broke to pieces, their property wanton- ly destroyed or plundered, their persons made prisoners of whilst peaceably at their own habitations about their law- ful business not under arms, as shall hereafter be determined on by a com- mittee of nine men duly elected by the associates at large out of their num- ber; which rules and regulations shall be founded on the following principles, viz:-- FIRST - For every good subject of this state residing within the county, that shall become an associator, and shall be taken or admitted to parole by any party or parties of refugees as aforesaid, that shall come on the er- rand of plundering and man-stealing, the good subject not actually under or taken in arms, there shall be taken an equal number of the most disaffected and influential residing and having property within the county, and them confine within the Provost jail and treat them with British rigor, until the good subjects of this state taken as aforesaid shall be fully liberated. SECOND - For every house that shall be burned or destroyed, the prop- erty of a good subject that enters with this association, there shall be made full retaliation upon or out of the prop- erty of the disaffected as aforesaid. THIRD - That for every article of property taken as aforesaid from any of the associators, being good subjects, the value thereof shall be replaced out of the property of the disaffected as aforesaid. We do also further asso- ciate for the purpose of defending the frontiers of this county, and engage each man for himself that is a subject of the militia that we will turn out at all times when the county is invaded, and at other times do our proportionate part towards the defence thereof. We the associators do hereby direct that a copy of this association be, as soon as the signing is completed, transmitted to the printer of the New Jersey Ga- zette, for publication, and that the original be lodged in the clerk's office. Also we do request, that the associators will meet at the courthouse on Satur- day, the 1st of July, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon for the purpose of electing a committee of nine men, as before mentioned, to carry the said association into effect Asher Holmes Lewis Carlton Joseph Johnston Matthias Mount John VanSchoick Matthew Anderson William Nivison Andrew Clark John Smock Cornelius Barkalow Joseph Holmes William Rue John Nivison Henry Berry John Brown Peter Emmans Elisha Walton Henry Drake Daniel Denise David Sutphin John E.

It must have been an earnest and de- termined set of men who met that day in Monmouth Court House - Memories of the battle, recollections of wrongs, many and wicked, thronged their minds and doubtless were recalled in conver- sation. The committee of nine were duly appointed, and while we do not read in the papers of the day, much or anything of their forceful retaliation, still they doubtless accomplished much in the way of redressing wrongs and inspiring a healthy respect for the rough and ready justice of Monmouth patriotism. The only other notice the writer has found appears in the Now Jersey Gazette of March 5th, 1783, and has a grim significance, which was doubtless appreciated by the Tory sym- pathizers throughout the county. It is as follows: - "N. J. Gazette, March 5, 1783- Where- as the time of the Committee of the Associators of retaliations of the County of Monmouth expires; and it being necessary for a new one to be chosen, as there remains some business unsettled: The associators are request- ed to meet at the Court house on 15th March, as well to determine on said business and to be prepared for future depredations. By order of the committee Kenneth Hankinson, Feb. 18, 1783 Chairman. Kenneth Hankinson, who signed the foregoing, was a captain in Col. For- man's battalion, "Heard's Brigade," June 16th, 1776, and also captain in the First Regiment of Monmouth, 1717. [sic] His son, James Hankinson, was the father of Governor William A. Newell's mother.
