Welcome Linda, I am Jerilyn Gainsford Henderson from Collingswood,N.J.Did you happen to know a Rev.John L.Ewing who pastored central United Methodist in Linwood in the 70's?He and his wife Jane were my in-law's best friends. My Jersey roots go back to the West Jersey Proprietors.Some of my surnames are Budd,Gosling,Borton,Wright,Mathis,Ford,Crowley,Woos,Stiles,Drummond,Rudderow,Chew,Heritage,Clarke,Nichols,Walker,Kidd,Willis,Cobb and more.[who are your Cobbs?Mine come from around Green Bank area along the Mullica]The counties I am mostly interested in are from Burlington,south. I am quite interested in Methodism's history in South Jersey,too for many of my ancestors became Methodist after leaving the Quaker faith for one reason or the other. Looking forward to seeing more postings from you.Again,I say,"welcome". BTW,I used to live in Newport News when my husband,Tom was stationed there while his submarine,the Ethan Allen was in the yards in 1968.
