"....The first record concerning a house of worship (Seventh Day Baptist) is dated March 3, 1775, when the church voted to build a meeting house "on the south-east corner of Zebulon Maxson's land lying on one of the branches coming out of the branch commonly known as the Great Branch, the said Zebulon Maxson having given his free consent thereunto." For this lot which was situated in the little village of Squan, Zebulon Maxson executed the following deed : — " To all Christian People to whom these presents shall come: " Know ye that I, Zebulon Maxson, of Shrewsbury Township, in the County of Monmouth and Eastern Division of New Jersey, Cord- wainder, for and in consideration of love, good-will, and affection which I have and do bear towards my loving brethren, the Seventh Day Baptist Church inhabiting in Shrewsbury Township as aforesaid, I have given, granted, and by these presents do voluntarily of my own free will and accord with the consent of Experience, my wife, give and grant unto the said church or society of people as aforesaid a lot of land for a meeting house lying near the road that goes across the South Branch of Little Brushy Neck, which said land the said Zebulon Max- son lays claim unto by virtue of a deed of sale from David Hall [?], beginning at a heap of stones planted in the earth about thirty links easterly of said road, first running north sixty-three degrees and thirty minutes east two chain and twenty-five links ; secondly, south, twenty- six degrees and thirty minutes east two chain and twenty-five links ; thirdly, south sixty-three degrees and thirty minutes west two chain and twenty-five links to the brook by the side of the road to where it crosses the said brook; fourthly, north twenty-six degrees and thirty minutes west to where it began, containing eighty-one perches, strict measure, to have and to hold the said given and granted premises together with the appurtenances free and clear, freely and heartily by them to be possessed and enjoyed without hurt [?], molestation, interruption whatsoever to them and their heirs forever ; and I, the said Zebulon Maxson, for me, my heirs, executors, and administrators do covenant with the said church that before the ensealing and delivery of these presents, I am the true, sole, and lawful owner of the above given and granted premises and have in myself full power and lawful authority to dispose of the same in manner aforesaid, and will forever, by virtue of these presents, hereafter warrant and defend from the lawful claims of all persons whatsoever. In witness hereof I have hereunto put my hand and seal this third day of April, in the year of our Lord God, one thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five. "
