They had nine children, and lived on a farm on Biser Road. For a time, Crum was a storekeeper in partnership with John C. Fisher, but that was dissolved in 1840. Crum was still a Raritan Twp. merchant in the 1850 census, but by 1860 he was a 45-year-old farmer living in Delaware Township. That year he purchased the Huber farm on Biser Road, where he remained for the rest of his life. Henry Crum stayed out of politics for the most part. His wife Catharine died on Dec. 23, 1891, and Henry Crum died on Oct. 19, 1897, age 82. They were both members of the German Baptist Church south of Sand Brook and were buried in the adjacent cemetery known as the Lower Amwell Old Yard.<\/p>\n The Union men in the Sandbrook district were Jacob T.

He as born Nov. 15, 1804 to Samuel Buchanan and Margaret Arnwine, and married Mary Gordon (d\/o Othniel and Mary Gordon) in 1836. They had four children. Buchanan was tavern keeper at Buchanan\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s tavern at the time he got married (1835-1837?). At the second Delaware Township meeting in 1840 he was chosen to be a commissioner to decide tax appeals. In 1850 and 1860 he was identified as a farmer. His farm was the old Fulper property a little south of Sand Brook, on the west side of Route 523.<\/p>\n At the Union Convention held at the court house in Flemington in October 1861,\u00d4\u00f8\u00ba Jacob F. Buchanan was named to the committee for nominations for Delaware Township. The convention was held to nominate candidates for state office, and also to establish a strong support for the president and strong opposition to the secessionists.\u00ac\u2020The language was pretty fierce.
