In addition to Susan's find, in the Ellis Index (History of Monmouth County, NJ by FRanklin Ellis, 1885) there's: Frease, Henry, corporal, captain Bruere's company, American Revolution, 234 (page); no other Frease; Shepherd, Joseph, corporator, Red Bank Steamboat Company, 1852, 597; no Debroah Shepherd; Shepherd, Thomas, sold land at Rack (Wreck) Pond to James Grover, 1708, [bingo?] 808; Shepherd, Thomas, private, Continental Army, 1776, 238. This Old Monmouth Of Ours by William S. Hornor has no Frease in the Index. There are a number of Shepherd entries but no first names. If you haven't looked in this book, e-mail me and I'll look for Thomas, Deborah and Joseph. There's also a short genealogy for a James Grover, Patentee, in 1667.

Does anyone know where Sharon NJ is? It's supposed to be in Monmouth County. My ggg grandfather William Clark and his wife Elizabeth ? were married in Sharon NJ in September of 1817. William Clark owned farmland in Perrineville (found on the 1850 census) that was passed on to his son Allison Perrine Clark (still held by Allison in the 1900 census). I'm assuming Sharon must be somewhere in western Monmouth County or maybe Mercer County. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Phyllis Clark White

PLEASE...give your response a heading, other than just a re-hash of a previous message... I receive my County emails in digest format & have NO IDEA what each message is about unless I open each one individually... This gets VERY time consuming, I could just as easily get the mail as individual posts. Regarding personal responses, I prefer to put my own email addy into each post..to keep from clogging sites with unnesssary or redundant info. Thx Susan Bidwell Williams slw02@sprynet.com

Hi NJ, This is very interesting. In both the 1793 state census and the 1830 federal census, there is only one McQueen surname in the state. In the former, it is John McQueen of Cumberland County; in the latter it is his son, Ephraim. I am inclined to think the late nineteenth century folks are another family, however, there is a chance the John whose estate was inventoried in 1830 was not counted in 1793 for some reason (perhaps he was too young) and died prior to the 1830 census. As our family is known to be from Monmouth County (they left prior to 1750) a link may exist. Thanks for your interest and help.

Hi again Susan, By the way, there is a piece in Stillwell on a John McQueen, banished to New Jersey from Scotland in 1685 for illegal religious activity; I have this piece (which I suspect is on our progenitor) already. Unfortunately, I have nothing (other than the uniqueness of the surname in New Jersey) to link my McQueens to him.

Hi Susan, Very much appreciate your generous offer. Could you see if you have anything on the surname McQueen in Monmouth County. There was only one family carrying this surname in the state until 1850 or later; they originated in Monmouth County, with the male family members moving south to Gloucester and Cumberland Counties after 1750. I have only a couple of names (William and Rebecca) but there were more; I would be interested in ANYTHING on anyone by that surname.

Hi, Susan, Thank you for checking. I was not sure if he died before 1760 - it appears perhaps not. I own Beekman, so I do have the information from it. I don't own the Stillwell books but have ready access to them. As far as I know, Audrey is not connected to my husband's line of Woolley's. The NJ connections are all my husband's. Mine are all those Irishmen and French-Canadians :) His Bennet(t)s are all interconnected with all the families in Beekman's book, and I do have his direct line back to Willem Adriense Bennet - it's sorting out the rest of them that has been a challenge. They all used the same given names in the same generation - so who knows if it is a cousin or sibling sometimes. I am slowly sorting them out. I keep telling him he is related to most of the families that have been in Monmouth County for at least 250 years. His Woolley line caused me grief for many years - then I found out that his gg grandfather died when his g grandfather was 3 and his wife remarried, so the census index listings I found with his g grandfather's name were actually for him even though he was only a child - but was living in a household with a different surname!!! His g grandfather was Elisha Perkins Woolley, whose father was Elihu Woolley and mother was Mary Throckmorton. I have not got Elihu pinned down yet in the family, but have put them on a back burner for a while - I have been busy chasing Irishmen lately for a change of scenery. Thanks again for checking for John's will. -- Candy_B cbservices@monmouth.com Researching Bennett, Cooper, Vanderveer, Woolley & related families in NJ Researching O'Brien, Brown, Boyle, Cavanaugh, Noonan, Fitzgerald, Spellman, Messier (Macey), LaCroix (Cross), Blais (Blair), Durand, Simonneau, Chabbot (Jabbot, Jabaut), Boucher, Sharron and related families in NY, New England and Quebec

Plans are coming together for the Monmouth list to take on part of the Monmouth Census transcription project for the USGenWeb Census Project. We need lots of people with varying skills and interests. Some aspects involve viewing film or CD and transcribing, some data entry, others will not even need to touch a computer to participate in some aspects of the project. Think of people who may be recruited to help. We will break the project up into small pieces that shouldn't be overwhelming. If everyone who could would help, it should go quickly. It is my understanding that when it is done the data is copyrighted to the preparers and a copy is given to USGenWeb for use in the Census Project and the Archives. Won't that feel nice? Please, help us make a difference! We need volunteers on several levels: - first we need someone soon to look into sources for volunteers to purchase or rent census image CDs, as they could be used at home without needing a reader. "SK" may even donate for this purpose. Getting the film or CD will be the responsibility of each volunteer (more about films later) - We need many volunteers to take on 1 or 2 ED's (or more), view them on census image CDs or film and transcribe them onto printed forms by hand. EDs are generally short, and there are probably about 40 or more on a film, I'm guessing - We need data inputers to enter that information from the handwritten printed forms into a database on your computer (USGenWeb provides a program or template.) - We need proof readers to check the paper printout of the data against the handwritten paper forms. - an alternative system would be, volunteers could enter into the data program directly while viewing the census and the proof reader could check the paper printout against the census while viewing it. Since Maggie Redden at the Ocean Co Historical Society has transcribed all of Monmouth and Ocean for 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 onto Excel, (an unbelievable undertaking!) and Joe, Carole, Candy and Corine are going to put it into a form that can be uploaded to USGenWeb Census Project or NJGenWeb Archives, we will not, of course, redo them. That leaves - 1830 assigned to Carole Cole recently ( that is the same Carole above) 1840 - available (M704-255) 1850 done by Maggie Redden, also assigned to Jason Ferguson 1860 done by Maggie Redden 1870 done by Maggie Redden 1880 done by Maggie Redden 1890 - Vet census - available (M123-43) 1900 - available (T623-985, T623-986, T623-987) 1910 - available (T624-900, T624-901) 1920 - available (T625-1059, T625-1058 all state census - available ( various libraries and to order in at Family History Centers) I think that the 1910 census, since it is not soundexed for New Jersey would be a good place to concentrate our efforts as it would have the most effect, and we do want to make a difference. What do you think? You can see it is only 2 microfilms rolls, but many EDs. When we finish that we can branch out to other years.. I have volunteered to coordinate the efforts of the volunteers from the list, unless someone else has a burning desire to do it. :-) Volunteers should let me know of their interest so we can keep track and then you should sign up at the GenWeb site - http://www.USGenWeb.com . Signing up there entitles you to be on the mailing list for announcements, and transcribing helps and hints. If anyone from outside the list signs up for a portion of Monmouth county, the county coordinator will refer them to us so we are aware of them. ED's are generally small, maybe less than 30 or even 10 pages so it should not be an overwhelming project. Of course you could always take on more after you finish your first assignment. I need to find a list of ED's and their corresponding towns and townships - anyone have one? Census films are available many places for view, rent or purchase. The USGenWeb site has a section on sources for films and CDs, and Pat Mount listed some the other day. If you need that message contact me. Also, not mentioned are Family History Centers where you can order in census films, but you cannot take them from the centers. Many libraries, archives, societies and colleges have them, also. Think how it will feel to say that you help transcribe the Monmouth County census for this great project. You can make a difference - I promise the genealogy rewards will come. Hoping to hear from you. Anita Clayton rclaytonsr@juno.com
