His wife was a daughter of Peter Kemble, president of the Council of New Jersey; Stephen Kemble and Samuel Kemble, who were proprietors of the township, also were her brothers. Henry Gage, son of General Gage, although only a child of five years, was one of the proprietors. Other proprietors were William, Samuel and Robert Bayard; they were related to the Kembles.
