These are Dutch Gulicks and a John Gulick had a tavern license petition just north of Kingston from 1784 to 1788 and a petition from 1791(no place). A petition for 1785 lists the tavern location as between Ten Mile Run and Kingston in South Brunswick. Signers on these various petitions include for John Gulick include Henry Gulick, Jacobus Snedeker, Joachem/Joacham Gulick, Henry Bres, Joacham. I have would like to know if John Hulick is the same as John Gulick? If I can help you in any way please let me know. I can send you my transcriptions of the above tavern license petitions. I do not have the ones for Gulicks in the Rhode Hall area. But I did copy most of the South Brunswick tavern license petitions from the NJ State Archives and transcribed them. I was searching for taverns and the names of local residents of the times. I have all the names I found on the petitions on a spreadsheet along with the tavern license petitions they signed. Although this list is for only a certain portion of the population it is still a fascinating source of local history. Speaking of the Rhode Hall area, I have recently learned that this area extended as far south as Ridge/Jamesburg Road, formerly labeled Rhode Hall Road on an 1876 map. In fact when this road also Route 522 in this area crosses the Cranbury-South River Road into Monroe Township it is still called Rhode Hall Road. Yours, Ceil Leedom, South Brunswick Township Historian
