Description
Henry Wick House
Mr. Wick enlisted in Morris County and served as a Private Captain Guard (1778) in the Morris County Militia under Capt. John Lindsley's Co. (1778); Cavalry (Captain). He was entrusted with guarding Governor Livingston and the Privy Council.
The army encamped on his farm (Jockey Hollow) in 1779-1780. His home remains standing at Jockey Hollow. The park service has recreated the farm that the Wick family had fed the troops during “the hard winter”. Henry Wick’s daughter Temperance “Tempe” Wick has her own legend in the Revolution that includes her beloved horse “Colonel”. During the winter of 1779-80, desperate troops attempted to steal Colonel while Tempe was out riding. Breaking free, Tempe rode Colonel all the way to the family home and kept him secreted on the second floor for weeks. Tempe would marry soldier William Tuttle. Discharged at end of war, he and Tempe lived on South Street in Morristown until her death in 1822.
