Perhaps one of the best educated men, most powerful in intellect, most
influential in civic affairs, as well as skillful in his profession, was that
Doctor Henry Greenland, a captain of military renown, of PISCATAWAY, whose
active and vivid life is easily followed, through the Colonial records of
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New Jersey. He was constantly in trouble for
his amorous devotions, and, yet, after several court proceedings was still
called a "greate man" of "uncommone skill" in the records of him. Selah!
