Dr. Benjamin Rush was a Philadelphia physician who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and the first Surgeon General of the Continental Army troops in the Middle Department commanded by George Washington. In January 1776, he married Julia Stockton, daughter of Richard Stockton of Princeton, who also signed the Declaration of Independence as a delegate from New Jersey, and they would have 13 children. He was present at the Battle of Princeton on January 2, 1777, and after the battle cared for General Hugh Mercer, who died from bayonet wounds some ten days later. Rush also sought to improve medical treatment for Washington's troops in their winter encampment at Jockey Hollow in Morristown. Image: Portrait by Charles Wilson Peale/ Wikimedia Commons

Pitney led in the new town being incorporated in 1854; securing approval and financing to build a railroad crossing the state to connect the island with Atlantic City; and obtaining federal funds to build a lighthouse to protect the safety of coastal shipping.
