I am far from an authority on it but I've noticed in my research that there almost seems to be line of migration in New Jersey, especially with my Quaker ancestors. One of my earliest ancestors started out in Shrewsbury, which is in North Jersey but then the family headed straight to Burlington Co. Many more ancestors gathered there, then seemed to make a path : Haddonfield, Deptford, Greenwich TWSP-Gloucester Co-(Paulsboro, Mickleton, National Park), and Mullica Hill. I am not up on town or township names at that time but there then seems to have been a string along the Delaware River. I have many scattered names in places like Daretown and Greenwich near Bridgeton. As an aside, I had a great aunt with the middle name of Middleton and we aren't quite sure how she got it.

I am not experienced with New Jersey research (yet!). Was there much movement and marriages between families of Burlington and Cumberland Counties from about 1760 to 1800? Or did families tend to stick real close to home? Debbie Peppones Researching: LEWIS, HERITAGE, MATTHEWS, MANCZ, PEPPONES

.... regarding the migration of S. Jersey families to Clermont Co., OH... My TROUT families from Monmouth and Gloucester counties, NJ came to Clermont in 1799-1800 and in 1816. John Trout is in early 1803 OH tax lists; his brother Morris Trout sold land in Gloucester in July 1816 and bought land in Clermont in August 1816. Their families came with them. Also emigrating at about the same time were HIGHT families (Hightstown, NJ) and LEEDs families from NJ with whom the Trouts intermarried. John and Morris were grandsons of John Trout (1701-1768) who is buried in Old Tennent Church cemetery in Upper Freehold, Monmouth co, NJ. Richard Moore, [email protected]

There was fertilizer. Farmers knew how to manure their fields. -----Original Message----- From: Linda R.

Hello...I have been told that the migration was due to the fact that the soil in NJ had been depleted (remember they didn't have fertilizer in those days).

I think I read somewhere that eventually someone discovered that marl from all the marl pits in the area could be used to enrich the soil. Thoughts?

Hi, I am related to the Higbees and the Steelmans of this county and would be glad to share information with others from these lines. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Jean

There is an excellent article about migration from NJ at <A HREF="http://www-ibt.tamu.edu/ibt/ccbn/mckeehan/dewitt/mckstmerrframe.htm">NJ- VA-NC Migration</A> once there look under Jersey Settlement. Many of my wife's ancestors made this trek. Most were Quakers. They arrived VA about 1740 (when the governor offered tracts in the Shenandoah), stayed only a few years (until Lord Fairfax arrived and Lord Granville offered grants in NC) migrated to Rowan Co. NC. Left NC/SC shortly after 1800 and migrated to IN and OH (another group went south to AL and MS.) The move from the Carolinas was over the slavery issue. Hope this is of some help, Ted in Dallas.

Groups, I am including a number of emails regarding the migration of S. Jersey families to Clermont Co., OH. (remember Bracken Co., KY is just across the river) and what were the (many) reasons that these families made this journey, which I am sure was not a Sunday drive in the park. I have one (at least) kin that had money problems and left to go with family already in Clermont Co. It has been suggested that there is the possibility that some of the families had been/were loyalists and were getting out of town, because the kitchen was too hot. I suspect the later group did not follow the group they were living with in Jersey. We also know there were land patents for those that qualified.

Bingham) Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] Dear researchers, I have contacted Jack Collins, speaker of the NJ Assembly, and asked him to draft a bill adding Clermont Co, OH, as an honorary county of NJ. It seems that NJ has peopled that county quite well, and we certainly have an attachment. Suddenly, this mass migration has intreagued me, and I think we should pursue it. 1. Does anyone have motives for the migration more specific than the fact that there was open land there to settle on? What spurred so many to leave NJ? 2. Is there any digitized information on CCo, OH, as far as census records, tax records, cemetery records, military records, or anything else we can access as a group? 3. I understand there were some secondary (much shorter) migrations by some of these folks. Does anyone have any information on these? A good way to track this migration would be to document individuals, maybe in this manner: show NJ records for the person prior to the move (of course we know the general families of the area for the most part), show records soon after in OH, and then corroborate with any connecting records, such as deeds administered from afar, letters home, Bible records, naming traditions, etc. This project--properly documented--sounds like a prospective book to me. Anyone have thoughts on this? Note: I was just kidding ;-) in the opening paragraph, although the state legislature will waste its time on such things while car insurance rates soar and public education fails.

Captured by the British and imprisoned at the Walnut St. prison Samuel noted the Quaker minister frequently appearing to minister to them. One visit, he donned the winter garb of the minister when he visted and walked out of the prison returning to fight with George. He received, along with Custis, 1000+ acres of land. Many of his kin went, while he stayed in Accomac, VA. More at the http://cowaro.com/Genealogy/Surname_file/Wapl es.html Ron E mail Jack Dole to Clermont list Clermont Co.

My Sharp line was in Burlington, Gloucester and Cumberland Counties. The following note concerns the one from Burlington Co., but it might apply to others as well. I don't know if this would be a lead or not, but I'll pass it along. "Job Sharp was one of several Quaker families who moved from Burlington Co., NJ, to Culpeper Co., VA, then on to Logan County, Ohio, about 1801. The family became Methodist Episcopal in Ohio. Job and his brother John were not satisfied in VA so the land grants they had there from the Rev. War were traded for land in Ohio. Since they were raised in a Quaker family the presence of slaves probably played a part in the move to Ohio." If any of our families received land grants from the Rev. War they might have gone to VA then OH or perhaps directly to OH. My SCULL and MART connections seem to have gone directly from NJ to OH and then to IL. It looks to me as if their motive for the move was land. Carol Subj: NJ to Clermont Co.

I just received an 'Inventory of the Goods and Chattels Rights and Credits of the Estate of Furman Heritage' dated 13 Jan 1805 appraised by Fithian Stratton and William Rose. I would like some background on inventories. Were these done immediately upon the death? A couple of days after? What was their purpose? How does one compare the value of the estate in 1805 in present day dollars? My Furman had an inventory worth $651.15 in 1805. Sounds like a pittance, but was that a lot of value back then? Any information will be gladly accepted! Debbie Peppones Researching: LEWIS, HERITAGE, MATTHEWS, MANCZ, PEPPONES

Dear List, I realize that many of you on the list already know about this. However, there may be some people who aren't aware of how this works. So, please bear with me if you find this redundant. To find records from Woodbury Meeting (or any other places or persons), check with your local Family History Center. You can even check their catalog out online at http://www.familysearch.org Click on "Browse Categories". On the next page, click on "Libraries". On the next page, click on "Family History Library Catalog". You can search the catalog by place name or surname, or a combination of both. The search will result in list of microfilms or other resources that contain the information you searched on. You can go to your local Family History Center to place an order for the tapes. It will take 1 week - 10 days (usually) for the tapes to arrive. You have about 1 month to view them, then they are returned to Utah. Or, if you are really lucky, the tapes you want will be part of the local FHC collection, and you can read them anytime. I don't recall the tape number, but I know I have seen mention of Woodbury while I was researching Shrewsbury Meeting. One last word, don't be weary of going to the Church of Latter Day Saints Family History Center to do your research. There will be NO attempt to convert you or push church information on you. As a matter of fact, I don't think you could find a more comfortable place for doing your research. The staff at my local FHC (Eatontown, NJ) are so helpful and pleasant. I look forward to my trips there. Good luck in your search, Maureen Foster >>> <[email protected]> 02/28/00 08:09AM >>> Hi, Does anyone on the list have access to Records of the Woodbury Meeting.
