HI I have been watching these two pages for quite awhile now and enjoy everyone on these mailing list. I also belong to [email protected] I want all of you to take a look at the table of contents. I also volunteer for this site along with a multitude of other volunteers. I had no idea that I could contribute just by typing and then e-mailing my finished work to Joyce the keeper of our web page as I am NOT computer literate and don't understand why computers work anyway. However; I see some of you put information out that probably could assigned to our web pages permanently. It just has to be out of copyright. Other things you may have in your collection like old newspaper obituaries, wills etc. Maybe the keepers of Camden and Gloucester would be willing to do this. I don't know as I don't know how involved it is and everyone only has so much time in a day anyway, so maybe there is a volunteer out there that knows all this and could help out our webpage keepers. Just a thought. Check out the Delaware County web page, go into the table of contents. You will not believe what the volunteers have done. It is awesome.

He owned lots in the original town, and >>was one of the signers of the memorandum made by the proprietors as to >>the division of lots. He was the first who bore the name in West >>Jersey, and came from Warwickshire, England. He purchased rights of >>Edward Byllinge and his trustees in 1684, and made a location of land on >>the north side of Pensaukin Creek, in Burlington County, and called the >>place "Hatten New Garden." He purchased other rights and located other >>lands in this township. He died in 1702, without a will, and most of >>his land passed to his heir-at-law, his eldest son, John. In 1705 he >>sold to William Matlack one thousand acres of land in Waterford >>township. John married Sarah Slocum in 1706. To his son Joseph he >>conveyed considerable land. Much of this land he sold. It lay on both >>sides of the creek and now embraces several valuable farms. Samuel >>Burrough purchased a art of this tract in 1698. Joseph Heritage died >>in 1756, leaving six children.--Richard, who married Sarah Whitall and >>Sarah Tindall; Joseph, who married Ruth Haines; Benjamin, who married >>Keziah matlack; John, who married Sarah Hugg; mary, who married John >>Gill and John Thorne; and Hannah, who married Mr. Rogers. >> It was from Joseph Heritage and his children that many of the early >>settlers purchased land, and, although the family apears to have been >>a large one, yet the name is now unknown among the residents of the >>township, although some remain within the present limits of Waterford >>township and still hold a small portion of the land. >> >> >> >>A couple of notes here, folks... First, the two paragraphs above are >>from the chapter entitled "THE TOWNSHSIP OF DELAWARE." >> >>Second, it seems likely to me that Richard was not the son of Joseph, >>but of John. It was John who was the father of Joseph, according to >>this article. What are your comments on this? >> >>Vince >> > >
