Tn tho ,2:eneal()S, Samuel Stevenson signed a diH-d for some proper- ty in wliicii he describes himself as the ■"oldest son and heir-at- law of Thomas Stevenson, deceased, late of lUu-ks County." As he died intestate his oldest son, Thomas, under the English law inh(>rited hisproperty and nothing was left to the second son. Samuel, born 2'Jth da.v, (i mo., 1742, nor to the sui)i)osed son, Arthur Stevenson, born in 17')1. These were left to seek their fortune in New Jersey or elsewhere. In tlie graveyard at Sennett, Cayuga County, New York, are two tombstones bearing inscriptions, one to the memory of "Arthur Stevenson, died Nov. 1st. 1S21. aged 7ii years" ; the other to "•Rachel, his wife, died .1 nly 1>. isr>2. aged 1*2 years. ."> months and 27 ilays." The traditions of Arthur Stevenson's family are that he mariied Rachel Yard prior to i7S"), in Hunterdon C'ounty, New Jersey, and lived there until about ISI"), wlien he removed to New Y'ork. All of his children were certainly born there. There was a considerable migration from that section after the Revolutionary war into Canada and \Vestern New York. The people had been harassed and impoverished by the marching and countermarching of the British troojjs across tliat section ol the country, and many sought homes in the newly «)pened country westward. Rachel Yard was probably the great-granddaughter of ''\Vm. Y'ard,* who in KiSScame to America from near Klxeter, Devimshire, P^nglaiui, settling in IMiiladelphia. About i7()0 he removed to Trenton, N. J., then known as the -'Falls of the Delaware," and "in 1712 bought of Malilon Stacy, two acres of land on Second, now *"Ne\v Jersey Archives, \'ol. XIX, p. 394. state Street. He also bouglit other large tracts of land, so that when a name was to be given to the place, it was a question whether it should be called Yard-town or Trent-town." In 1715 he was keeping a public house there. From* the old county records we learn that the Hunterdon County Court, in 1719, was held at the house of William Yard, this being the first time that the County Court had ever convened in Trenton. At the May term of this Court, in 1738, William Yard applied for a license to keep a tavern in Trenton. The next year the newlj' created Board of Freeholders of Hunterdon County, met in this town and adjourned for one hour to the house of William Yard. His will is dated February 14, 17-12. and mentions several children. One of these, Joseph Yard, was appointed Clerk of the Board of Freeholders at its above named session in 1789. In 17r)4, he was elected a member of the 19tli New Jersey Assembly from Hunterdon County, and served until 17()1. He died in 1763. A W^illiam Yard (second or third ) is mentioned in a deposition of one Patrick O'Hanlon. publislied in tlie New York CJazette of October 2, 17r)2, in wliich he deposes, among otlier matters, that on tlie 2(;th day of July, pn^vious, lie had met William Yard on tlie road from Bristol to Trenton. In the Pennsylvania Gazette for Ai)ril, 1758, is an advertise- ment of a lottery for tiir ])nriH)st' of affording education to the poor. Iti begins, "We, wliose names ai'e liereunto subscribed, sons of some of the principal families in and around Trenton, ad- vertise to start a lottery to build an English and (grammar school on tlie S. E. corner of tlie Meeting House yard, in Ti'enton, under the direction of Messrs. Joseph Reed, Benjamin Yard, Alexander and John Chambers.'" Benjamin Yard was ajipointed a Justice of the Peace in 177S, and reajipointi'd in 17S4. ^Archibald William Yard, lioni in 17.80, died in Trenton in ISIO, leaving nine ciiildrcii.
