I have a reference from a kind lister-lookup which reads: "Roster of the People of Revolutionary Monmouth County, NJ" by Michael S. Adelberg This is basically a list of known residents of Monmouth during the Rev. War. It is not complete, but it is extensive. In some cases there is nothing but their location, in others certain events are listed. Emson Kerby Upper Freehold Thomas Kerby " " Thomas Kerby Dover John Kirby convicted of Misdemeanor, 6/3/78, went to Phila. without a pass Thoma Kirby Juror, Court of Oyer and Terminer, 8/79; fined 30 pounds for missing all or some jury duty William Kirby Upper Freehold; Sergeant in Militia; Signer of Petition in Favor of Daniel Longstreet, 11/21/80 my question is this: with this information, is there somewhere further I can dig to try and determine *which* William or John or Thomas K*RBY are being referenced? and will/should there be some sort of Rev War papers on William if he was 'Sgt in Militia'? thanks for any leads... ^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^ kirbz@netmcr.com Kirby Heard in NC/US searching LUNAN and ANDERSON in SCT; JONES, MELL and HEARD in GA; KIRBY, GASTON and BRITTON in NJ* *and BENNETT, CHAMBERLAIN, IVINS, MOUNT

The Improved Order of Red Men was founded during the Revolution. It was a far right organization that lost favor during WWII. It still exists & has headquarters at Waco. In many areas it was more of a social club like Masons or Elks etc. Corinne Lill

Has anyone heard of the Dorset Walling Burial Ground - supposed to be in Middletown, Monmouth Co., N.J.? So far I am unable to find it in any on line locality searches. Would very much appreciate the address and phone # if there is one available. Thanks so much, Mary in Delaware

someone suggested this one to me...... http://www.flatkat.com/Redmenmain.html On Sat, 27 May 2000 20:16:33 EDT VwArose@aol.com writes: >Has anyone ever heard of The Order of the Redmen, or some similar >group >during the second half of the 1800 or early 1900.

Joe Could you send the information through the E-Mail?:) Thanks Barb

[note correct spelling - two words] I searched quite a bit for something fully explanatory, but couldn't come up with much. Although this organization is currently in existence they don't seem to have a web site. I don't think they enjoy the widespread popularity of the past. In 1896 they had nearly 170,000 members. Supposedly started by George Washington (ca 1773) to aid Indians displaced by settlers. Joined by F.D. Roosevelt in 1930. No one site seems to have a full history or explanation. Everton's "Genealogical Helper" May/Jun 95 refers you Gale Research's, "Encyclopedia of Associations"; "commonly available at public libraries". and also ..."the Improved Order of Red Men held the American Indians in high regard......The men who organized the Order were impressed by the ethical nature of the American Indian, and hoped to emulate their lifestyle through a pattern of fraternity and charity." <http://www.redmenbingo.com/> Click on "about us" Jeff Owens VwArose@aol.com wrote: > > Has anyone ever heard of The Order of the Redmen, or some similar group > during the second half of the 1800 or early 1900.

Hi, I don't know much about this group except that my grandfather was a member in Keyport in the 1920s. I have his dues card which reads that his "hunting grounds" were Keyport, in the "reservation" of New Jersey, the "tribe" was Chingarora and the tribe number was 116. The back of the card has unusual questions and answers which look like they are written in "pseudo-Indian". For example, under the "Questions" section: • Nittah...Is here in distress • Otaupin...Will Tribe be responsible? • Penanuh...Represents himself as a member of your Tribe under the "Answers" section: • Wabum...Tribe is not responsible • Anoka...You are authorized by Tribe to embalm body • Yuma...Benefits commence for first seven suns There are more...in case anyone is interested I'd be glad to send you a scan of the front and back of the card in .jpeg format through an email.

Hi, I also would like info on this group. I have pictures of my grandma & grandpa dressed as Indians and was told that they belonged to a group by the name of Redman. That is all the info I have.

Has anyone ever heard of The Order of the Redmen, or some similar group during the second half of the 1800 or early 1900. They had a cemetery in East Brunswick (Middlesex County) named Osage Cemetery. We've seen this group mentioned in several obituaries for Matawan and Keyport family members @1910. If you know anything of this group I would love the information. Thankyou, VWArose

Hi Gary, The Manasquan area was part of Howell Twp in 1850. Wall Twp, which at that time included present day Manasquan, Brielle, Sea Girt, Spring Lake and Belmar, was partitioned off of Howell in 1851. Prior to 1801, the area was part of Shrewsbury Twp. Steve Thorne

I am just guessing, but it think it was part of Shrewbury Township. It seems strange. Also, when they divided Monmouth into Ocean, I just recently discovered that part of what had been Manasquan or Squan Village became Pt. Pleasant Beach. Apparently it ran down to the Route 88 bridge between what is now Pt. Pleasant and Brick Township. This really makes it a joy doing research.

there are shepherds in matawan- now jack(john) shepherd bought my husb. grandparents house on harding blvd, matawan boro, monmouth county nj- funny thing is his father=jack sr. was my parents best man at there wedding in 1945. his mother had been married to mr shepherd and then married mr. bliss. jack sr also has a daughter named judy- jack srs wifes name is gert= last i heard they lived in matawan=let me know if i need to dig more for you. jack sr was around my parents ages-( they would be 73 and 76 had they lived) linda originally of matawan

Does anyone know what township Manasquan was a part of in 1850? Gary

I have tried before, but now my daughter (age 14) is in the hospital with her 6th stroke in 2 years and I really want to know this information so I can share it with her and her brothers. I am looking to find which Shepherd family (any names) lived from 6 to 10 miles from the Monmouth county courthouse in Monmouth County. One of them was Joseph as his pension application for the Rev. War provides this information. I am in Las Vegas and am unable to travel to NJ to search myself. Any help or cooperation would be most helpful. Thank you.
