| Anecdote |
- The families of Mabey and Francisco and Carman intermarried quite a few times. Their property, which apparently adjoined each other, was on the Stoney Brook, at its beginning at the Pequanonk River. They lived on the South side (Morris County side), and their property is now the Main Street area of Butler New Jersey, including the old Manning Avenue Cemetery Earliest Map I have found them on, is Mrs. Francisco in 1851, residing on what is now present day Main Street Butler, at Short Street (which was a narrow lane passing the original Mabey home, going up to the old family Burial Ground, which was subsequently Deeded to the newly formed (1867) Bloomingdale Cemetery Association. Within the bounds of the current Cemetery, lay a parcel called the "old burial ground" where can be found the graves of the early Mabeys, Franciscos, Meads and Carmans, as well as the subsequent burials being in the newly formed portion. These original families are buried in the area closest to the original burial ground.
Jane Mabey Francisco inherited this land from her father, and she, dying Intestate while occupying the residence which also had a Hotel on the premises, left three adult children; viz: Jane Carman, Mary Smith, Emily Carman. A war broke out between the families, instituted by Mary Smith, against Henry and Emily Carman, who were in physical possession of the property, demanding a fair split of the property of their late mother. In the end, the property was ordered sold, and the buyer was William Edgar Carman, the son of Henry and Emily (Francisco) Carman. So basically, the property remained in the family. The original Mabey home is depicted in a Painting, which was made into Post Cards, and can be obtained from the Butler Historical Society.
Oddly in this family of John Francisco and Jane Mabey, there appears to have been some sort of illness that plagued just this family. Within 4 years, those residing in that Hotel and house, died, adults and children alike. The family just wiped out. Jane Mabey Francisco 1877; Jane Francisco Carman 1877; Emily Francisco Carman 1879; Mary F Carman 1879; Annie 1881, Ella 1881, RIchard; 1882, Henry Wallace Carman 1882; Henry C. Carman 1882. It was so odd, that it was written up in the Newspapers. Only two children survived to adulthood, John Pierson Carman (who md. Almira Mabey) and Hester Jane Carman, who married William Westervelt.
