FRONT PORCH

FROM THE

View From the PorchJoin the Historical Society on October 7th at 7:30 p.m. for its Fall Meeting and

Program at the Community House Club Room. Speakers Edmund Evans Moore andHerbert Wills Moore, III. will present The Benjamin Moore Family of Burlington County.

Distant cousins, Edmund and Herbert Moore, will provide a presentation on their research of their progenitor, Benjamin Moore. Moore came to America with the Haines and Bortons from neighboring villages in Northamptonshire, England and settled in what is now Hainesport and Lumberton. A brother, Thomas, also came to West Jersey. Benjamin became one of the largest landowners in West Jersey before his death in 1754. The third edition of their book, “the Benjamin Moore Family of Burlington County, New Jersey” was in collaboration with two additional family members and was published by the Gloucester County Historical Society of Woodbury in 2007. It was an immediate sellout. The Moores will share interesting stories, information on Benjamin’s Quaker background, and a theory about innkeeper Thomas Moore and explain how modern science has helped tie together three hundred years of relatives stretching across the United States. — Ann Langerhans

[See what James C. Purdy had to say about Thomas

Moore in his 1886 book (excerpt at right)]

For several spooky weekend evenings in October, the Historical Society will be hosting the ever-popular Ghost Tours (see back page for schedule information).

FALL MEETING & PROGRAM

The Benjamin Moore Family of Burlington County

OCTOBER 7th at 7:30 PM

Light refreshments will be served immediately following the program

“In a certain way, and to a limited

extent, Moorestown professes to be

the monument of Thomas Moore;

but the monument bears only his

name. The epitaph has been almost

wholly obliterated. Moore left his

name to the town of his adoption,

but with that gift his bequests

ended; and even the name would

probably have been forgotten

had it not been transferred from

the individual to the town. Many

other names that have come down

to us from time still earlier than

the time of Thomas Moore have

brought with them a strong flavor

of personality; but there is only

the faintest suggestion of such a

flavor about the name of Moore.

Of some who helped in laying the

foundations of Moorestown we

know all the leading facts of their

lives; the man who was important

enough to give his name to the

place is but little more than myth.

We know not whence he came, how

long he staid or whither he went. ...”

Change in Hours for House Tours at Smith-Cadbury Mansion

The Historical Society has designated a new time for house tours and the gift shop at the Smith-Cadbury Mansion for the 2010-2011 season. In response to demand for more accessible visiting hours, Smith-Cadbury will now be open every Sunday afternoon for tours of the house, from 1 to 4 p.m. The library will have separate hours on Tuesday afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m., but there will be no house tours available on Tuesdays. The library will also be open on the second Sunday of each month, for those who wish to combine a trip to the library with their tour of the house. Please help spread the word, and make sure to come and visit our valuable historical resource.

HSM Docent Thank you and

Training Session a Success!We are so excited about our HSM Docent Program 2010-2011! Our

excellent docent staff gathered on Saturday, September 11th for coff ee, conversation and shared ideas about off ering tours to our visitors.

Cathy Ruff off ered an extensive training session. We all learned fascinating stories about the Smith-Cadbury Mansion.

Our docents look forward to welcoming you during our new hours on Sundays 1:00-4:00. Smith-Cadbury is Moorestown’s treasure. Come and share community spirit with us.

First Public School House in Moorestown

at 2nd and Church Streets“About 1835 a frame school house was built on the north side of Second street

and the east side of Church Road. It was used as a neighborhood school until 1873,

when it was removed.

The educational methods that

prevailed of old differed in more than

one material respect from those now

in force. The course of study pursued

was less comprehensive, ‘the three R’s’

constituting, in many cases, the bulk

of the curriculum. As a consequence

while the hours of school were about

the same as now, the hours of study

were materially less—whether to the

advantage or disadvantage of the pupil

is a question which still causes some

discussion occasionally.”

MAPPING THE PASTThe primary job of the historian is to plot change over time; the best resource

to achieve this goal is unquestionably the map. That’s why one of the most inter-

esting sections of the Historical Society of Moorestown’s library is by far the map

drawer. There are a myriad maps that show the evolution of the town from its

colonial days right up through the modern era. The map drawer also holds a few

surprises that budding cartographers wouldn’t expect to fi nd.

There are a host of maps that when combined provide an excellent overview

of the evolution of Moorestown and the surrounding area. There is a survey show-

ing the location of lands taken up from the Indians between 1680 and 1690. The

original map was drawn by Charles Stokes, a surveyor living in Rancocas, back in

1872. It shows Willingboro and West Hampton Township in 1682. In addition, it

displays the location where Governor Franklin’s mansion was located in Willing-

boro. Unfortunately, the building itself is no longer standing. It was destroyed by

a fi re in 1842.

The library has several other maps of Moorestown proper. We have a map

produced by the old Moorestown Chronicle dated 8/30/1934. From the same time

period, we have a map of Moorestown from 1928. This one was prepared by the

Moorestown Plan, Art & Zoning Commission Technical Advisory Corporation and

published by the Burlington County Trust Company. Going back further into the

past we have a “Combination Atlas Map of Burlington County, NJ from 1876.” This

reproduction was commissioned by the Moorestown Improvement Association in

1975.

In addition to analyzing how locations change over time, historians can also

use items in our map drawer to plot how buildings have also changed over time

as we also have property surveys of the old Moorestown Friends High School.

One of the surveys we possess is dated September 1929 and another is dated

1938.

The map drawer isn’t just for those interested in where streets and houses

were located in town. One of the items in our collection shows that maps are also

a useful resource for nature buff s. We have a fascinating plan for the arboreum at

Perkins dated 1979. The details of the fl ora and their locations on the property are

spectacular.

Maps are certainly a tremendous tool for aiding historians in their never

ending quest to show change over time. What’s fascinating about the maps in

the library’s map drawer is that they also show how some things remain constant

throughout history. The fact that so many surveyors, cartographers, and organiza-

tions in our community devoted so much time and eff ort to mapping the history

of Moorestown in their own time shows a love of this community and the rever-

ence for its history that persists to this day. That’s one thing that time will never

change. — Kevin Stephany

What’s fascinating

about the maps ... is

that they also show

how some things

remain constant

throughout history

Coming Exhibit

Moorestown’s Farming TraditionLenny Wagner and Ann Condon are just beginning to develop an exhibit related to

farming in Moorestown. It seems not too long ago that the heart of the town was completely

encircled by farms. So diff erent from today — there were farms just off Main Street.

Lenny and Ann are looking for information, items and photos that depict the

farming way of life. They are interested in farm architecture — the barns, springhouses,

ice houses, machine sheds, and the like. Horses and mules will be covered. Individual

farms can be highlighted. For example, the Historical Society has many photos

of the 19th century Zelley farm. There is some information available about farm

labor. The Grange and other farm-related organizations can be included.

This exhibit should be of particular interest to old-timers who like to reminisce

and to school children who visit the Society every year. How diff erent is a child’s life

today — so regulated and so much of it lived indoors with air conditioning, so much

cut off from the natural world by the universe of iPods and other technical devices.

Our readers who have connections to farming in Moorestown, both in

the present time and particularly in the past, are invited to share their photos

and stories with Lenny and Ann. They hope to sort things out and present

an interesting and engaging picture of Moorestown’s recent past. — Ann Condon

We are seeking information, items and photographs

“Apples.—There was a

reasonable sprinkling

of early apples in many

orchards; ... Yet there

were a few orchards

that gave phenomenal

yields, returning their

owners handsome

prices; so to them at

least came the largest

returns of any variety

of fruit grown this

year in our county.”

New Hours at Smith-Cadbury

Starting in September, the Smith-Cadbury Mansion

will be open to the public every Sunday afternoon

for tours from 1 to 4 pm. The library will still be open on Tuesdays and the second Sunday of

each month from 1 to 4. There will be no longer be house tours on Tuesdays.

With the new schedule, we’re hoping to see

visitors who can’t make it during the work week, and

above all, we’re hoping to get a big response from those members

who want to volunteer and be more involved

but were unable to with our previous schedule.

Anyone interested in becoming a gift shop

volunteer or a docent for the Sunday afternoon

tours, please call us at 235-0353 or send us an email at moorestownhistory@

verizon.net.

The interior of Smith-Cadbury may seem a little sparse now that our exciting

“Sports Legends of Moorestown” exhibit is down and archived. On behalf of the more

than five hundred visitors who took in the exhibit, please join me in extending our

most sincere thanks to Trustee Lenny Wagner for his vision, enthusiasm and hard work

in creating the Society’s most popular exhibit ever. Although, he’ll tell you as an avid

sports enthusiast and student of Moorestown history, it was a labor of love; countless

hours were involved in the research, collection and layout of the comprehensive

exhibit spanning 100 years of Moorestown athletics. Then, once the exhibit was

up, Lenny, and fellow Trustee, Harry Koons, spent months of Sunday afternoons as

attentive docents.

The Museum Committee has been meeting and thoughtfully reviewing each room

in the museum. Careful consideration is given to each item in a desire to display the

objects in the most meaningful way for our visitors. In other words, things may not

be in the exact spot you last saw them, in order to bring you a fresh interpretation

and improved visitor experience at the Mansion. We hope to better use our impressive

collections to illustrate Smith-Cadbury’s rich history as the home of prominent early

Moorestonians. In particular, we will focus on the period when Edward Harris, Jr. was

in residence at 12 High Street and the years prior. Harris was born at the Mansion in

1799 and lived there until 1845 when he moved with his second wife to the French

house, now known as the Greenleaf on Main Street. Recent research by Robert Peck of

The Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia* has finally uncovered the evidence

that there was a New Jersey bank note done by John James Audubon and approved

by Edward Harris Jr. which launched Harris’ close relationship with whom is arguably

American’s most famous and beloved naturalist painter.

You may recall an article that appeared in our newsletter several years ago

(posted on our website) about the provenance of some of the works in our silhouette

collection. Marked Peale Museum, these items have drawn some recent attention from

New England. We were contacted by a staff member of Jane Katcher regarding the

possibility of including some of our silhouettes in a forth-coming book on American

Decorative Arts. Their first book, Expressions of Innocence and Eloquence: Selections

from the Jane Katcher Collection of Americana (2006), janekatchercollection.com,

included contributions from such distinguished museums as Yale University Art Gallery, The Shelburne Museum and Historic Deerfield. Last year, two scholars from

Winterthur Museum visited Smith-Cadbury to investigate, photograph and measure

our Peter Stretch tall clock for an upcoming Winterthur exhibit and accompanying

guidebook. It seems that the Society’s amazing little museum may be getting some

well-deserved and overdue attention in the antiques world.

The other day, in response to a phone message, I met with a woman from Columbus who off ered

the Historical Society three items. It is hoped that they can be absorbed into the collection. They will be

reviewed by the Acquisitions Committee which will have its Fall meeting in October.

One of the items was a gold-fi lled tie tack issued by the Moorestown School of Business. Early infor-

mation gleaned about this school is that it was functioning in the Twenties.

The second item of interest is a large oil painting from 1887. The wintry scene includes a mill with a

waterwheel and a couple walking in the moonlight.

Perhaps the most interesting

item in this gift package is a very

large framed sampler done in 1818

by Martha Cowperthwaite at the

age of ten when she attended

Chesterford School. This school

building stands on Main Street,

Maple Shade, and is presently the

home of that township’s historical

society. In 1818, what are now

identifi ed as Moorestown Township

and Maple Shade Township were

bound together as Chester Township.

The sampler includes seven

alphabets done in cross-stitch.

There are also twelve sets of

initials, possibly representing

members of the Cowperthwaite

family. Although the body of the

sampler is the traditional faded

brown, the green vine about

the border remains bright.

If any of our readers

have information about the

Moorestown School of Business

or Martha Cowperthwaite or

the Chesterford School, please

share it with Stephanie in the

library or Ann in Acquisitions.

MORE ON OUR FARMING TRADITION

1894-1895: He Was Sorry Th ere Were No Ladies Present

“President John M. Lippincott, of Moore-stown, called the meeting to order and made a brief opening address.

He referred to this as a year of peculiar circum-stances, some of which it was unnecessary to men-tion. Th e meetings of the Board were for the pur-pose of promulgating ways and means to increase the happiness and prosperity of the farmer and his family. Prosperity is hindered by lack of organiza-tion, and the latter is hindered by indiff erence and lack of suffi cient interest to attend the meetings. Farmers seem to have a happy faculty of absorbing a great deal of knowledge, but fail to disseminate it in a practical way. He was sorry there were no ladies present. Th ey are all-important to successful farming. Th ey should attend the meetings. Th ey leaven the mass. He closed his remarks with the

hope that the meeting would be a profi table one.”
