Excuse the mistake...Julia is correct. Woodbridge, NJ is in Middlesex Co., NJ.

I am also trying to find Public Member Trees on Ancestry.com and if there are some researchers working on these names, I am posting comments of these records to them. I have numerous family lines coming out of NJ also, but so far my lines went into PA and then into the Ohio Valley in those early years. In fact, Julia, I am a descendant of Mary Bloomfield (1642-1708), said dau/o Col. Thomas Bloomfield, who married Jonathan Dunham (alias Singletary), s/o Richard Singletary. Jonathan was born in Massachusetts and died in Woodbridge, Essex Co., NJ. Haven't done much research on the Bloomfield surname, but I believe there was a group of them found also in Woodbridge, Essex Co., NJ in those early years.

I noticed a few years ago that many of the New Jersey lines that connect to the French and Hancock lines in New Jersey were, later, in the Craven, Jones, Carteret area of North Carolina. The children of Henry Allways of Craven County, married into my Jones line that is inter-married with my Hancock line of Craven County. The interesting thing is that he ran a tavern and had daughters named Comfort and Content Allways. There was, also, an Allways Creek in NC. As was in New Jersey. Also, the father of Phoebe Bloomfield who married a male from my French line in New Jersey died in Craven County, NC leaving a Will naming his daughter Phoebe French. (If she should ever come to claim it) Note, however, that my French line is from Middlesex County, New Jersey and not proven to be connected to the Burlington French line. Since I have never learned, for certain, from whence the Craven families came, I watch all messages that mentions their names. The problem is that we only have one DNA test of the Hector line and it doesn't match my Craven Hancock line. We need more than one test to confirm but it appears that there are no other Hector descendants available to test. The same for the French lines in New Jersey. My line has been tested and has over 30 matches, but the Burlington line only has one male who claims to be from that line and he doesn't match my French line, the same for the one test in the French line in Craven County, NC. The one test doesn't match my French line. It is, always, possible to have an unknown adoption in a line that changes the DNA but the testing of more male descendants is needed. New Jersey is on the Atlantic Coast as is North Carolina and I have noticed other surnames of my North Carolina lines were in New Jersey as well, but with them, too, I haven't found the connection. The DNA of Dear Jean Hancock's Slocomb line in Craven County, NC matched the line in New Jersey area. Some of the families may have traveled back and forth along the Coast and some may have just come directly to each place from England, Ireland, Scotland, etc. I hope we get it sorted out, someday. Thanks Sue and Audrey for posting all this. Julia, with eyes and ears, always, open for clues. In a message dated 10/4/2014 10:49:05 P.M.

If you scroll down, you'll find the Hancocks. This seems to be the same family that Audrey posted today. There is mention of Allowayes Creek in New Jersey. Is this a family represented on our Hancock DNA chart? Julia will want to know that the surname French is also mentioned in this genealogy, but perhaps this is not new information to anyone but me. The reason I grew interested in the family was because Edward Hancock and William Hancock were each appointed guardians on Oct. 28, 1737, of teenage boys with the surname of Daniel. My William Hancock (b. 1801 SC) has yet to find a group on the Hancock DNA chart, but on the Family Tree DNA matches of all surnames, my Hancock keeps coming up with a close connection to three people with the last name of Daniel. My family and this family are only 2 mutations apart in Y-DNA37 markers. When you are up against a wall genealogically, you get excited about anything that might be a new clue!!
