page 164 has Matthias Williamson, Jr.
We find also the following note in the handwriting
of Wm. M. Ross, dated “Elizabeth-Town, April 22,
1811, Monday afternoon.”
“ At the time when the ox was roasted on October
28; 1764, Matthias Williamson, junior, then a youth,
recollects that the conversation of the period was, that
none then living would be alive to partake that day
next century of the ox to be ‘roasted on a similar occasion, to celebrate the purchase of the town from the Indians.
“They therefore concluded, and passed a resolve:
among themselves, that those who should survive
half a century, should have another jubilee, as it was
concluded that some of the guests at this centennial
dinner might live to see it.”
The reason why this jubilee was held on the 28th
of October, probably is, that on that day Governor
Nicolls granted leave to John Bailey and others, to
extinguish by purchase, the title of the Indians to.
APPENDIX. 165
some portions of land yet in their possession, within
the lines bounding the Elizabeth-Town Grant. By
extinguishing that title they complete the purchase of
the whole district. The month of August, 1864,
will complete the second century since the arrival of
Governor Carteret in this town; and may we not
hope that the day will be thankfully and joyfully
celebrated by those who may live to see it.
