Please let me introduce myself and my request. I am a historian of early America at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. My completed doctoral dissertation, of which I am currently revising for publication, focused on 18th century religion in Southern New Jersey (everything south of Burlington County). One of my chapters deals with a cadre of young Presbyterians during the immediate pre-Revolutionary era (1765-1776) who lived and socialized with friends and family associated with the three Presbyterians churches in the Cohansey area (Greenwich, Fairfield, Deerfield). Much of the documentary evidence that undergirds my chapter is based on the diaries and writings of Philip Vickers Fithian as well as the unpublished archival materials from his friends and acquaintances housed at the Firestone Library in Princeton. As part of this chapter, I am including an biographical appendix of all the members I could find who were part of the Presbyterian circles associated with Fithian, the Presbyterian Academy at Deerfield under the direction of Enoch Green, the Greenwich Tea Party, and the *Plain Dealer*, a newsletter written at Potter's Tavern in Bridgeton. I have been able to track down adequate biographical information from many of these men and women, but others have been more difficult. I am especially eager to get the birthdates and date of death for some of these people, but any additional biographical info or sources would also be helpful. Below I have listed some of the figures I have still not been able to track down and the information I would like to obtain about them. If anyone could be of help for any, some, or all of these, it would be GREATLY appreciated! Please feel free to pass this along to someone (perhaps someone without internet/e-mail access) who might be of help. Thanks.
