The Burrowes house, at Middletown
Point, where the company was formed
described by Major S. S. Forman.
Here, also, occurred the raid of "the
Greens" in the early June morning, the
5th, 1778. The object was to capture
the son, Major John, at home for a
few hours. He was alarmed in time
to jump from his bed, reach the lower
story. es:ape through a window, swim
the creek and find safety through his
knowledge of the country.
The picture to the right shows the
fine old hall of the Burrowes house.
The chair on the first landing marks
the spot where Mrs. Burrowes was met
and sabred by the brutal officer for re-
fusing her shawl to bind the wounds
of a raider - a wound resulting in
blood poisoning and death in very
early life. The burning of the mills
owned by Burrowes & Forman is re-
corded in local histories. The taking
of John Burrowes, Sr., to a prison ship,
the seizure of two prominent Tories of
Middletown by Colonel Henderson and
William Wikoff, bringing them to Mon-
mouth jail as hostages, and that se-
curing Burrowes' release.

[xvii] THE MONMOUTH ASSOCIATORS.
BY JAMES STEEN.
No county in the State of New Jersey
suffered more during the Revolution
than did Monmouth, and in no county
did the citizens respond more nobly.
The proximity to the shore and readi-
ness of access by boat from New York
rendered it peculiarly the prey of the
British. There was super-added to that,
a lawless element even more irrespons-
ible and regarding- less the rules of
warfare, than the guerillas in our late
Civil War. Tories and refugees, well
acquainted with the county and know-
ing the inhabitants, preyed upon the
aged and infirm who had property that
they could take or destroy, and com-
mitted all sorts of excesses and out-
rages, shooting children and old men
and hanging women, burning houses
and barns, and destroying animals and
other property that they could not con-
veniently carry off.
Notwithstanding, many of her able
bodied men were in the Army, the large
proportion of those that remained were
to be found in the Militia. The Tories
and pine robbers had no compunction
against invading and destroying homes
that were occupied only by the women
and the feeble. So obnoxious did they
become, aided as they were by the more
cowardly neighbors of the patriots,
who while committing no overt act,
were in league with Tories and re-
fugees, that the Monmouth patriots
were forced to take action against
traitors in their midst. Hence it is that
there has come down to us a document,
which while it adds to the history of
the county a valuable chapter, is also a
roll of honor for the descendants of
those who thus banded themselves to-
gether in their country's defense. It
was in the spring of the year 1780 that
the patriots of Monmouth, tried beyond
measure by repeated outrages and rob-
beries, and realizing the assistance the
non-combatant Tories still living un-
molested in their midst were rendering
the refugees, Tories and pine robbers,
resolved on redress by retaliation. The
document which follows is unique, and
of the 436 names subscribed nearly one-
half served either in the Continental
Army or in the Monmouth Militia be-
fore the war was concluded. Every part
of the county was represented, and the
Committees of Safety of the various
townships are represented among the
names of those who were not only will-
ing to associate but also to have that
fact advertised in the New Jersey Ga-
zette.
The Articles of Association are as
follows:--
MONMOUTH ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION.
Whereas from the frequent incur-
sions and depredations of the enemy
(and more particularly of the refugees)
in this county, whereby not only the
lives but the liberty and property of
every determined Whig are endangered,
they, upon every such incursion, either
burning or destroying houses, making
prisoners of, and most inhumanly treat-
ing aged and peaceable inhabitants,
and plundering them of all portable
property, it has become essentially nec-
essary to take some different and more
effectual measures to check said prac-
tices, than have ever yet been taken;
and as it is a fact, notorious to every
one, that these depredations have al-
ways been committed by the refugees
(either black or white) that have left
this country, or by their influence or
procurement, many of whom have near
relations and friends, that in general
have been suffered to reside unmolested
among us, numbers of which, we have
full reason to believe, are aiding and
accessory to those detestable practices.
We, the subscribers, inhabitants of the
county of Monmouth, actuated solely
by the principles of self-preservation,
being of opinion that the measure will
be strictly justifiable on the common
principles of war, and being encour-
aged thereto by an unanimous resolve
of the honorable the congress, passed
the 30th of Oct., 1778, wherein they in
the most solemn manner declare that
through every possible change of for-
[xviii] THE MONMOUTH ASSOCIATORS.
tune they will retaliate, do hereby sol-
emnly associate for the purpose of re-
taliation, and do obligate ourselves, our
heirs, executors and administrators, and
every of them jointly and severally, to
all and every of the subscribers and
their heirs, &c, to warrant and defend
such persons as may be appointed to
assist this association in the execution
thereof; and that we will abide by and
adhere to such rules and regulations
for the purpose of making restitution
to such friends to their country as may
hereafter have their houses burned or
broke to pieces, their property wanton-
ly destroyed or plundered, their persons
made prisoners of whilst peaceably at
their own habitations about their law-
ful business not under arms, as shall
hereafter be determined on by a com-
mittee of nine men duly elected by the
associates at large out of their num-
ber; which rules and regulations shall
be founded on the following principles,
viz:--
FIRST - For every good subject of
this state residing within the county,
that shall become an associator, and
shall be taken or admitted to parole by
any party or parties of refugees as
aforesaid, that shall come on the er-
rand of plundering and man-stealing,
the good subject not actually under or
taken in arms, there shall be taken an
equal number of the most disaffected
and influential residing and having
property within the county, and them
confine within the Provost jail and
treat them with British rigor, until the
good subjects of this state taken as
aforesaid shall be fully liberated.
SECOND - For every house that
shall be burned or destroyed, the prop-
erty of a good subject that enters with
this association, there shall be made
full retaliation upon or out of the prop-
erty of the disaffected as aforesaid.
THIRD - That for every article of
property taken as aforesaid from any
of the associators, being good subjects,
the value thereof shall be replaced out
of the property of the disaffected as
aforesaid. We do also further asso-
ciate for the purpose of defending the
frontiers of this county, and engage
each man for himself that is a subject
of the militia that we will turn out at
all times when the county is invaded,
and at other times do our proportionate
part towards the defence thereof. We
the associators do hereby direct that a
copy of this association be, as soon as
the signing is completed, transmitted
to the printer of the New Jersey Ga-
zette, for publication, and that the
original be lodged in the clerk's office.
Also we do request, that the associators
will meet at the courthouse on Satur-
day, the 1st of July, at 1 o'clock in the
afternoon for the purpose of electing
a committee of nine men, as before
mentioned, to carry the said association
into effect

[xx] THE MONMOUTH ASSOCIATORS.
The number of signers to this asso-
ciation is 436.
It must have been an earnest and de-
termined set of men who met that day
in Monmouth Court House - Memories
of the battle, recollections of wrongs,
many and wicked, thronged their minds
and doubtless were recalled in conver-
sation. The committee of nine were
duly appointed, and while we do not
read in the papers of the day, much or
anything of their forceful retaliation,
still they doubtless accomplished much
in the way of redressing wrongs and
inspiring a healthy respect for the
rough and ready justice of Monmouth
patriotism. The only other notice the
writer has found appears in the Now
Jersey Gazette of March 5th, 1783, and
has a grim significance, which was
doubtless appreciated by the Tory sym-
pathizers throughout the county. It
is as follows: -
"N. J. Gazette, March 5, 1783- Where-
as the time of the Committee of the
Associators of retaliations of the
County of Monmouth expires; and it
being necessary for a new one to be
chosen, as there remains some business
unsettled: The associators are request-
ed to meet at the Court house on 15th
March, as well to determine on said
business and to be prepared for future
depredations.
By order of the committee
Kenneth Hankinson,
Feb. 18, 1783 Chairman.
Kenneth Hankinson, who signed the
foregoing, was a captain in Col. For-
man's battalion, "Heard's Brigade,"
June 16th, 1776, and also captain in the
First Regiment of Monmouth, 1717. [sic] His
son, James Hankinson, was the father
of Governor William A. Newell's mother.
