Random History Bytes 106: The Sooy, Deacon, Horner, Leak, Lippincott, Mason, Ellsworth, Rutter, Adams and Loveland Families
----------
THE SOOY FAMILY.

Yose Sooy was a Dutchman, in English his name was Joseph Sooy. He settled at the Upper or Lower Bank in Washington township, Burlington county. He had sons Nicholas, Joseph and Luke, and it is probable he had other sons and daughters. I have been unable to learn much about the geneology of the Sooy family. They do not properly belong to Egg Harbor township. The first generations of the Sooy family made extensive locations of lands in Washington township. The Sooys of Atlantic county are the descendants of Yose Sooy, and it is probable they are the descendants of Luke Sooy. There formerly was a Joseph Sooy at Leeds Point; his first wife was a Blackman and his second wife was a daughter of John Leeds, Sr.; this wife had two daughters, Elizabeth and Catharine. Elizabeth married Thomas C. Blackman. Catharine married James Gifford of English Creek. The last named Joseph Sooy had a daughter Sophia, by his first wife and she married Andrew English.

Dr. Mason's father was a native of Pemberton, N.J., and in that village Dr. Mason was born and grew up to manhood. Dr. Mason's father married Sarah Platt, and after his death his widow married Dr. Egbert, of Pemberton. Dr. Mason has one sister, who married a Whitaker.

In the year 1813, Dr. Mason came to Tuckerton to practice medicine, and here for more than fifty years he has been the principal and constant practitioner of Tuckerton, and the surrounding country, for a distance of many miles. Dr. Mason has seen a great number of people go down to the grave, and a very large number of those who were living when he came to Tuckerton have passed away from among the living, yet Dr. Mason still lives and administers to the sick. He is a faithful and efficient medical attendant, a steadfast and sympathizing friend, a kind and obliging neighbor, and in all respects a worthy citizen, and he would be greatly missed and regretted by the community in which he lives. His long practice has made him a wealthy man; but he has no children to inherit his accumulations. It is probable that, like many other wealthy, benevolent and liberal-minded men, the bulk of his property will be bequeathed in such a manner as to be a perpetual benefit to the public of his adopted place. He is a staunch Freemason, and built the Freemason and Odd Fellows' Hall, in Tuckerton. Dr. Mason married Elizabeth Johnson, a lady noted for kind-heartedness and sociability. Her sympathetic and amiable disposition makes her an excellent companion for a physician.

Isaiah Adams was one of the leading men of Bass River. For many years he kept what is known as the "old Bass River Hotel," at the upper bridge, over the west branch of Bass river. Although an inn-keeper, he lived and died a total abstinence man. Whilst residing in the tavern, he carried on an extensive business in lumber, ship building and such like trades, and during this time he cleared a valuable farm and built a commodious mansion and other farm buildings, and when they were completed, he moved on to his farm, and became one of the most enterprising and skillful agriculturists in his native township. He paid great attention to the raising of choice fruits, planting extensive orchards of apple, peach, cherry and other excellent fruits. He was a State Legislator, and held various other minor offices.

He was a friend and assistant to the destitute and suffering. He was a cheerful contributor to the churches in his neighborhood, never pausing to inquire of what denomination they were, and ministers of the gospel who frequented that section, always found a hospitable home with Isaiah Adams. No one in the township of Little Egg Harbor ever hospitably received so much company as he did, and all who ever became acquainted with him were impressed with his obliging disposition, he ever being ready to make sacrifices to accommodate friend or stranger.
