from "The Family of Elisha Cooke" by Florence Cooke Newberry in 1934. Any text within [ ] is mine (Marshall Lake <mlake@melake.erols.com>).

 Huldah Cooke [daughter of Nathan Cooke and Magdalene Shafer, Nathan the son of Consider Cooke and Sarah Bell] was born July 10, 1813, and was married January 19, 1839, by Rev. T. B. Condit, to Lewis Kishpaugh, who also was born about 1813.  Lewis Kishpaugh was a blacksmith by trade, and he and his wife first lived at Feebletown, now called Read's Rest, on the Hope-Blairstown Road, near Mr. Kishpaugh's blacksmith shop. He later took up farming, and they lived on a farm not far from Great Meadows, later called the Kishpaugh Mines Farm.  Some of the land was sold to a mining company, and an iron ore mine opened there, and a granddaughter, Mrs. Hineline, recalls seeing the ore carted away with four- and six-mule teams.  Lewis Kishpaugh also sold some of his land to Hope Township for the erection of a school house, Marble Hill School, where the grandchildren attended school.  Across the road stood an old stone school house, abandoned many years ago, where the previous generation had attended school.

Lewis Kishpaugh later sold the Kishpaugh Mines Farm, and bought a large farm near Johnsonburg, N. J., where he and his family lived. Mrs. Hineline remembers being told that, in the winter time, Mr. Kishpaugh and his sons carted all their grain and farm produce to Philadelphia and New York taking two four-horse loads at a time. 'Grandmother Kishpaugh used to do her churning with a little donkey on a tread-power. After school, my cousin, Carrie B. Kishpaugh, used to go over and get the donkey, Jack, and both of us would get on his back and ride him from one home to the other. When he got tired of it, he would throw up his heels, and we would slide right over his head. Then he would run off and leave us, and we would have to walk home.'
Mrs. Kishpaugh is remembered as of medium height, large frame, but not stout, and with pale blue eyes, and a heavy head of light brown hair. She often told her grandchildren that during the Revolutionary War (probably should be the War of 1812) her mother (Magdalene (Shafer) Cooke) was walking down the road to the weaver's, with some wool yarn in a pillow case, when she was met by some mounted soldiers who made her empty the pillow case of yarn, so that they could see that it was not food or supplies for spies. She was permitted to retain the yarn, and many years later she had some of it woven into two bed blankets for her two daughters, Sarah and Huldah, as wedding presents. They are of dark blue and white squares and star design, and the one belonging to Huldah Cooke Kishpaugh is still in the family, in perfect condition. It is now owned by her granddaughter, Mrs. Otto Peterson of Great Meadows, who also has Huldah Kishpaugh's wedding ring, and her set of china, quite complete as to number, as it was not divided upon Mrs. Kishpaugh's death, but the entire set was given to the only daughter Emma, and mother of Mrs. Peterson.
Mrs. Kishpaugh died at the home near Johnsonburg, May 4, 1884, aged 70 years, 5 months 15 days. Her death occurred suddenly, as she was in the yard and fell as the result of a sudden heart attack, and never regained consciousness. Lewis Kishpaugh was an invalid toward the end of his life, and could not leave his arm chair. He died October 7, 1886, at the age of 73. Both are buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery founded in 1824 at what was then Danville, Warren County, N. J., now known as Great Meadows.
The five children of this family: a. William Marcus Kishpaugh, born Marksboro, May 8, 1840, died 1851. Buried at [Great Meadows? ... the text abruptly ends here] b. Sarah E. Kishpaugh, born November 3, 1842, was an invalid most of her life from a kind of lingering consumption. She died, unmarried, on September 13, 1867, and is buried at Great Meadows. c. James Kishpaugh, 1843-1910. d. Saron Kishpaugh, 1848-1914. e. Emma Kishpaugh, 1851-1923.
Of these children:

 c.  James Kishpaugh, born March 26, 1843, probably at Feebletown, lived at home and assisted with the work of the farm until his marriage, December 14, 1872, to Sarah Hann, born on March 25, 1854, daughter of Jacob and Catherine (Ayers) Hann, of Hope.

The young couple began housekeeping in the tenant house on his father's farm near Johnsonburg, and lived there until their children were partly grown. While there, their children attended school in the old school house, still standing, but abandoned, on Mt. Mascal, Johnsonburg. This was a two-mile walk from home, and the children of the neighborhood went to school in a group. One of the worst features of being kept after school was the two-mile walk home, alone. Attendance at the Presbyterian Sunday School at Johnsonburg on Sunday brought the weekly walk for the children to a total of 28 miles.
Later the James Kishpaugh family moved to Wilson Corner, and from there the children attended Southtown school, at the old schoolhouse in the woods, still standing, but abandoned.
In the spring of 1888 they bought the Kishpaugh Mines Farm, which his father had owned and sold years earlier, and there still lives James Kishpaugh's widow, Sarah (Hann) Kishpaugh. March 25, 1935, she celebrated her 81st birthday by holding a family gathering at her home, attended by four children, two grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, the two grandchildren being Layton M. Cooke and Earl E. J. Hineline. This farm is located a 'couple miles west of Great Meadows, near the schoolhouse and the road to Kishpaugh Mine and to Free Union Cemetery'. In Free Union Cemetery, near his home, James Kishpaugh was buried after his death, May 20, 1910.
The four children of James and Sarah (Hann) Kishpaugh are:
(1) Anna B. Kishpaugh, born October 1, 1875, at Johnsonburg. She was married November 1, 1899, at Danville, by Rev. N. B. Crouse, to Walter Hineline, born at Egypt Mills, Pa., on July 31, 1880. Mr. And Mrs. Hineline now live at Marksboro, and to Mrs. Hineline credit is due for collecting the data contained in this article on the lines of Sarah and Huldah Cooke and all their descendants. Mrs. Hineline has also collected dates and records for other descendants of Nathan and Magdeline Cooke, and has, by interviews and correspondence, collected scattered and well-nigh forgotten incidents regarding the earlier members of the family.

 Mr. And Mrs. Hineline have one son:

(a) Earl Samuel James Hineline, born at Great Meadows November 23,

 1908, and named for his two grandfathers.  Earl Hineline married,

 28, 1910.  They live at Newton where Mr. Hineline is employed as a gas

 maker, by the New Jersey Power and Light Company.  January 1, 1936,

 Mr. Hineline received a medal from the company for five years service.

 In line of duty, on August 11, 1934, Mr. Hineline nearly lost his life

 when he was overcome by escaping gas.  He was rescued and resuscitated

 by a resident of Newton, Mr.  J. H.  Countryman, to whom he has recently

 been awarded a certificate, and a President's medal, for the rescue.

 Mr. And Mrs. Hineline have two children:
