Robert Ayres, for many years a resident of Morris county. He was born July 17, 1738, probably in Ireland, as the family did not come to America until 1745. He married Anna Jackson, who was born in Rockaway, Morris county, August 9, 1746, and was a daughter of Colonel Stephen Jackson. After their marriage they resided at Woodbridge, near Rahway, until about 1780, when they came to Rockaway. Not long afterward, however, they went to Wyoming, Pennsylvania, where they were living at the time of the great freshet, which they lost everything they had. Then they returned to Rockaway, traveling most of the way on foot, and carrying their youngest child in their arms. Robert Ayres died about 1784, but his wife long survived him and for her second husband married Deacon David Beeman, of rockaway. Unto Robert and Anna (Jackson) Ayres was born eight children, all natives of Woodbridge, Essex county, New Jersey. They were Elizabeth, born September 22, 1764; Jackson, who was born February 14, 1766, and removed to Cincinnati, Ohio; Robert, who was born December 8, 1767, and became a resident of New York city; William, who was born August 31, 1769, and made his home in Sparta, New Jersey; Joseph, who was born September 13, 1772, and removed to New York city; Mary who was born April 10, 1775, and became the wife of Samuel More, who resided near Morristown; Daniel, father of our subject; and Anna, who was born September 16, 1785, and was the wife of Henry Berry, the grandfather of S.
