The delegates to that Convention from the county Of' Gloucester (now the counties Of Gloucester, Atlantic and Camden, ) were J ohn sparks, john cooper, elijah clark, joseph hugg and joseph ellis - good and true men, faithfully representing the people. There was no hesitation in their action, nor indecision in their purpose. The reasons for such step were clearly, firmly, yet respectfully, expressed, and they were willing to trust to their own strong arms to accomplish the end sought for.
