Good morning, During the day yesterday I tried to learn more about Woodbridge, NJ, where two MOORE brothers moved to in the 1660's. A little on-line investigating showed that the township was probably named after .. Rev. John WOODBRIDGE "of Newbury, MA." I placed a few queries last evening, and I heard from someone this morning who told me that Rev. WOODBRIDGE ..never.. moved to NJ. Of the years he was in "the Colonies," he always remained in MA. One of the sites I found last night was a page of the NJ Historical Society web site which states: "Woodbridge Township was named after Reverend John Woodbridge of Newbury, Massachusetts, and was settled mostly by puritan descendants from New England. The original township was comprised of sixty families." This statement is ..VERY.. misleading. Also, several references show that the two MOORE brothers went to NJ in 1666. And, yet the above web page says that the township was established in 1669. I was wondering if anyone had a list of the 60 families who initially settled the Woodbridge Township. I am wondering if they all came from the same town or towns in the MA Bay Colony. The main reason I am asking is that I would like to find out if Samuel and Matthew MOORE had siblings move to NJ with them (or MOORE or GREENLEAF cousins). FYI: It seems that the extended WOODBRIDGE family had several ministers among them, and one went to Hartford, CT. FYI: I went to look at the Archives of the WOODBRIDGE List last evening, and was quite surprised to find out that no one had posted to the List in almost 2 years, and there were no more than (total) 6 messages. Is that not a common name? FYI: I wonder if anyone has access to books on the MOORE brothers, or in particular to their father, Francis MOORE, of 1600's Cambridge, MA. I am interested in finding a complete list of all of Francis and Catherine MOORE's children.
