    3. Hi Randy -- I wioll see what I can find and will answer you more directly with regard to your questions. I do, however, have the following initial comments: (1) I have (Deacon) William Cutter, born ca 1721, died 14 Feb 1780, as the son of Richard Cutter and his first wife, Mary Pike. He is so listed in a numer of references and he received some Pike Land. I also recognize that Mercy Cutter (his second wife) refers to William as a son in her will dated 13 Nov 1759, and that the inscription on William gravestone could be interpreted as placing him as a son of Mercy, so that is open to question. (2) You mention ">Monnette's collection of "First Settlers of Piscataway and >Woodbridge, NJ Genealogy" gives a brief synopsis of the >first two generations of the family there - listing: .... My comment there is that if Monnette said it, it has more than a 50% chance of being wrong. My strong recommendation is to stay completely away from anything Monnette has. (3) As you have probably seen, in Patty Myers' book and elsewhere, there was a great deal of interaction of Stephen Kent with the Moore, Moores, Carman, and Bloomfield families -- not only with marriages, but with deed transactions. While I have not seen Mary Kent in any of those, the answer may lie in an in depth look at those marriages and deeds, as well as estates. Harman Clark
