Philip Morin Freneau was raised in the community which now bears his name . The family plantation or farm extended into what is now Aberdeen and Marlboro and amply provided for a way of life that left time for other pursuits. Philip was tutored nearby by Reverend William Tennant and then entered Princeton. There in the company of classmates James Madison and Aaron Burr he flourished academically and with another aspiring writer authored an epic poem The Rising Glory of America to be read for their graduation.
