Hi, Does anyone on the list have access to Records of the Woodbury Meeting. If so, I am looking for any information regarding the family of William Key, wife Mary, and children Job, Joseph, John, William, Thomas, Hannah (married Samuel Beckett) and Sarah. William Key died in 1774 in Woolwich Township. He was the owner of Raccoon Island and left his property divided among his sons. Thanks so much! Bev W.

Capt. Joseph Newcomb came from Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, MA to Fairfield Township, NJ in 1732. Sandie Researching: Allen, Barclay, Magee, Miles, Montieth, Rush, Stagg in Pa. Chard, Dickinson, Fagan, Gandy, Hickman, Magee, Marts, Moore, Newcomb, Schimpf, Shimp, Stiles, Thomas in NJ

John, Thanks so much for the info. I found another interesting connection for NJ ancestor researches. In Henry Charlton Beck's book, "Forgotten Towns of Southern New Jersey," page 200, mentions "...From these villages (Fairfield, NJ) near the shore, natives, during the war days (Rev. war), boiled out, dried and strung large quantities of clams which were sent by courier to the half starved soldiery. It is reasonable to believe that such substitutes for beef and pork were sent from New England Cross Roads (Cumberland Co. NJ) to Valley Forge(Pa). Commerce, such as it was, was carried over a road winding from Fairfield(NJ) to Burlington, originally laid out in 1695." This helps one understand how some of our elusive ancestors left old Burlington Co. and ended up in southern NJ and vice versa. Joan

There were a number of families that came from CT to So. NJ. Circa 1695-1700 there were rumblings of discontent among people who originally came as result of the activities of The New Haven Company which had the rights to settle CT, which of course was not the same as today, and The Massachusetts Bay Colony, Inc.. Some of this was due to religious persecution, and some other factors included work assignments, property allocations, etc. Many Quaker families came by this route. The West Jersey Society advertised the benefits of moving to So. NJ to attract settlers, much the same as a developer would solicit buyers to a housing tract today. I admit to not recording the specific sources of this information, but it was encountered in the process of searching one of my early lines in So. NJ-- BARBER. Checking sources which detail the activities of any of the above organizations should yield some clues. My own verification came from finding deed information which mentioned their CT origins and then finding their CT locales. If anyone has a BARBER in their data, I would most like to exchange information. Jeff Owens

These were early Puritans followed by colonists some time later. Joan

John, I wish I could trace my ancestors to New England. The area of Fairfield Township, Fairton, New England Crossroads, Salem Town were all supposedly settled by people migrating from the Conn.and Mass. area, hence the same town names. I have early LACY and SCUDDER ancestors that possibly have links to New England. Perhaps someone on these lists know who the very early emigrants were to these areas. Some possibly came over the river from Delaware. Any one out there with some solid evidence? Joan

Hi, Just wondering if by any chance someone has access to the 1900 Census for Gloucester County. I'd be interested in finding Mary Jane BETHEL and the names of those she lived with in Clayton. She died there in 1902. There is no address in Clayton on the death certificate nor the names of her "heirs" nor a name of an informant. She was buried at the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Millville, and I have the cemetery record, but there is still no information on who she was living with at the time she died. Thank you! Nancy

I have Joseph Heritage, Jr. m.Ruth Haines, d/o Carlile Haines [1700-1774] and Sarah Matlack [1704-1774].

David Badcock JUN 16 John Goldin (hoe) JUN 25 John Goldin (mending gun lock) JUN 24 John Baker, Esq. JUL 4 Christopher Stafford (tobacco) AUG 3 John Goldin AUG 1 John Goldin (qt. rum) Notes by Glenn Bingham, the transcriber/compiler, 2000 Feb *There were several entries for "Joeph Corson, Brigg" It could very well indicate a "brig," that is, a sailing vessel. Several sailing vessels took on stores from Somers, including one sloop called "The Mayflower," Rufus Green, Capt. *Christopher Stafford is the father-in-law to Jacob Bingham/ Bingman. Jacob and his wife Elizabeth Stafford Bingham/ Bingman had a son named Samuel Parker Bingman. It seems beyond coincidence that Elizabeth's father and Samuel Parker walked into Somers' store on the same day. *Somers seemed to carefully separate Thomas Doughty and Thomas Doughty of Turkey Hoe (Tuckahoe). The latter, who owned property on the Tuckahoe River, married Prudence Parsons and kept Doughty's Tavern in Milmay, (then) Hamilton Twp. The Turkey Hoe Doughty had a daughter, Millicent Gwynn (Gwin?). *John Ackley is probably Daniel Brandriff, Sr's brother-in-law or father-in-law. Timothy Brandriff is Timothy, III, Daniel's father. There it is: Mom's family 7 generations back in the same store as Dad's family (through an uncle) 7 generations back. *Zephaniah Doughty was the son of Jonathan and Hannah Ingersol Doughty. Jonathan deeded land to Zeph in 1790, so we know he was of age. Jonathan was the son of Edward and Margaret Doughty. Thomas Doughty of Egg Harbor was, likewise, the son of Edward and Margaret Doughty. He was apparently alive during this period. It is curious, however, that the Thomas Doughty of Turkey Hoe is not listed as Thomas, Jr., since we have thought from time to time that he was the son of the aforementioned Thomas. Somers' designation, in subtle fashion, might suggest that he was not. From Benjamin Parsons' 1796 will, we know his daughter Prudence was married at that time to Doughty ("Prudy Doughty"); however, in Thomas, son of Edward's will of 1801, he intimates that his son Thomas is living with his mother since they are given use of the house. Furthermore, Thomas is given the house except in the case that he predecease his mother without any issue. So it seems he had no children and probably wasn't married at the time. In total, then, it seems that Thomas Doughty of Turkey Hoe (Hamilton Twp) was not the son of Thomas Doughty, son of Edward Doughty. *Jobs Point is adjacent to Somers Point (West of it) and is carved out by the Egg Harbor River and Patcong Creek (if I can assume that present day Jobs Point Road goes to Jobs Point).

Hi List members. Does anyone know a good source for a map showing 1793 township locations in Gloucester and Salem Counties? thanks for your help, Linda McDowell in San Juan Capistrano, CA [email protected]

Still hoping to find information on my early 1700's Hamilton, McCullough and mid 1700's Coopers. They were also in Somerset. Chuck Gibson

Mary, I accidentally erased your E mail to me yesterday, but I left a message for you on the message list for SCUDDER. You E mailed me last Oct. about your NJ SCUDDER names. They might be linked at some point but your John is not my John G. SCUDDER, b.abt. 1821 possibly in Cumberland or Cape May Co. He is listed as living in Tuckahoe, Cape May Co. at time of his marriage to Ann "Eliza" VANAMAN of Port Elizabeth, July14, 1848. I'm still searching for his parents names. Joan

I am looking for any information on Sarah D. BROWN, born 25 May 1808. Sarah was originally of Salem. Sarah died 11 Sept 1872 in Woodbury, and was buried in Clarksboro (Eglington Cemetery) on 15 Sept 1872. Sarah Married Joseph OSGOOD Death information is from the Woodbury Constitution on 18 Sept 1872. Her death certificate doesn't give parents names or additional information. Based on middle names of her children, I am possibly looking for HEPPARD, ELDRIDGE or CAMPBELL as her mother's maiden name or grandmother's maiden names. A few years ago I was in contact with fellow genealogist how descended from a Rachel BROWN born in 1811 in Salem, who's parents were Thomas BROWN of Ireland and Rebecca. We both thought there was a likely connection (such as Rachel and Sarah being sisters) but never were able to find anything to prove this. Does anyone have anything on any BROWN families in the Salem or Gloucester areas? I'm happy to share what I have. Ginny [email protected]

Westhampton Township was not formed until 1850 and was formed from Northampton Township. It included what today is Easthampton Twp. Burlington County butts up next to Camden (then Gloucester Co.) and the distances are not very far at all. Northampton was surrounded by Chester/Mt Laurel, Willingboro. Burlington, Springfield and Medford Twp. Kind of stuck in there. Today it is just kind of....there. No towns in it to speak of.

I'm in the midst of doing research on them now. The early ones seemed to be in Salem and Gloucester Counties, perhaps split off from Burlington Co., which I believe where originally from Berks and then Burks Counties in Pa. Haven't gotten far enough back to connect with them. Many of the Lacys then moved from the farms to Camden Co. in the latter part of 1800 to get good paying jobs with the advent of the Pennsylvania Railroad and close proximity to Philadelphia. Many families had sons that moved to get these jobs. Garland Lacey was helpful in connecting me with a lady who had lots of my southern NJ Lacy names but couldn't connect them to other documented NJ Lacys. If any one can find an early connection to any 1700 Lacys that migrated to Salem and Glou. Co. as farmers and Blacksmiths I would love to hear from you.
