At one time ALL of Cumberland County was Salem County as Salem County was one of the ORIGINAL counties in NJ. As to your question about Fairfield -- it's down further south of Bridgeton and east of Greenwich among the marshes and would be quite a trek in the 1700s however, people were especially dedicated about worshippin in those days, so I can understand their willingness to make the trip for Sunday (or Saturday) worship.
