Tutor at Princeton. Dr. MacLean says of him that
it was "to the great benefit of the institution and to the
equally great satisfaction of the Trustees (he) held his office

Mr. Halsey apply himself to the instruction of the Senior
and Freshman classes."

He wasappointed on a committee to draft a pastoral letter to the people May 18,1778, but dissented to its declarations of allegiance. He died "in theharness" as pastor of the Lamington Church, Oct. 2, 1780. He married in1772 a Miss Henry, who after his death married Judge John Cleves Symmes.The following is the inscription upon his tombstone in the LamingtonCemetery, "Here lies the Body of the Rev. Jeremiah Halsey who was forsome years the eldest tutor in the College of New Jersey and afterwardsPastor of this church and departed this life 2 Oct., 1780, aged nearly 47years--
The Friend, Scholar, Christ'n & Divine
The faithful Pastor & the Husband kind
The Honest Lover both of church & state
Did in thee unite & made thee great
We hope to Regions of the purest Love
Thy soul is gone to dwell with God above
Where perfect, holy, growing Life & Light
Doth ever fill the mind with fresh Delight."
