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
