John W Bateman

"...In the year 1727 Daniel Elmer emigrated to Fairton from Connecticut. He was a young man, and a clergyman of considerable note in his native State. He was a pastor of Fairfield Presbyterian church up to the time of his death, which occurred in 1755. From him originated the Elmers of Cumberland county, many of whom have been distinguished men in professional and civil life up to the present day. The ancestors of the Potter, Ewing, Fithian, Westcott and Bateman families also came from New England and settled at Cohansey in the latter part of the seventeenth or early in the eighteenth century. They have held an influential position in Cumberland county for several generations. The Presbyterians from New England settled on both sides of Cohansey creek, and quite a number of them purchased homes in, and in the neighborhoood of, Cohansey (now Greenwich). About the year 1705 they established and organized the first Presbyterian church on the north side of Cohansey creek, which was named Greenwich Church..."
