Ken, Monmouth Co. was one of the original counties and covered a larger area than we know today. Ocean Co. was formed from Monmouth in 1850. The original counties were Bergen, Burlington, Cape May, Essex, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, and Salem. Anyone researching other counties should be checking to see when those counties came into existence and the parent county or counties.

Just an FYI if you are interested in Ocean County info., I have a town county formation page here specifically for Ocean County: http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Enjocean/CountyTownFormation.html There are also links to surrounding counties of Monmouth and Burlington on the same page. Hope this helps some of you.

Stephanie, thanks for sharing this site. I have already saved it because occasionally I have found births in my Sherman family who must have at one time lived there.
