DESCENDANT OF ONE OF
JERSEYS FIRST MINISTER'S
Rev. j. 3. Westcott Can Trace Lineage
to Revolutionary Days.

Few of our citizens know that am
ong their number dwells one who is a
lineal descendant of one of New Jer-
sey's first Methodist ministers-known
in the early days as the eccentric, Rev.
Benjamin Abbott. This citizen, who
by the way, as some of you may have
guessed, is the Rev. John Bunyon
Westcott-himself a welLknown min
lister and for over fifty years a mem
Der of the New Jersey NJ. E. Confer
ence, and who several years g served
as pastor at Salem M. E. Church, this
city. He also in years gone by served
some of the best churches in the M. E.
Conference of New Jersey, his last
charge, however, being at st. Cloud,
Florida. He is now, and for the past
fifteen years has been a resident of our
city.
Mr.. Westcott ONE from a long line
of preachers on the maternal side of
his family Another ancestor was the
Rev. Ffthian Stratton, of the New Jer-
sey early ministry. Rev. Fithian
Stratton, n time, the story goes, was
chased by an angry bull. He ran as
fast as he could and some one said,
Brother Stratton, | thought you were
ready to die" He replied, Il am ready
but I don't want to be killed by a dew
ilish bull" He says he often heard
his grandmother tell the story of how
when a very small child she was taken
to hear the Rev. Abbott, and he was so
loud and made so many gestures and
jumped over the pulpit several times
to impress the message" on his hear
ers, that she screamed with fright and
had to be removed from the Meeting
House, as the churches were called in
those days.
Mr.. Westcott also has his GRANDPA
theirs on the mothers size of the fam
lily, Rev Daniel Parvin's, ordination
papers signed by Bishop Asbury.
Among other valuable family relics,
he has a marriage certificate dated
1897, written in old fashioned script.
Mr.. Westcott's fathers family we're
all baptists, hence his name John
Bunyon". The Westcotts are also am
ong the oldest citizens of New Jersey.
His ancestors were gallant soldiers
and sailors in the Revolutionary war.
and Mr.. Westcott is entitled to become
a Son of the Revolution. He himself
is a veteran OF the civil war, and am
ong other honors he was aide-de-camp.
with the rank of colonel. to ES-Goy.
Samuel Var SAINT, when he was Com
mander-in-Chief of the G. A. R. Am
ong other honors, Mr.. Westcott is De-
partment Chaplain of the G. A. R of
Florida, Post Chaplain of the G. A. r..
Chaplain-in-Chie Of the Army and Ma
Wy Union-U. S. A, State Chaplain of
the ?. 0. S. of A. of Florida. and also
Chaplain of the Garrison of the Army
