Hello all - In the process of helping a friend, I've been told that many families fled Mon. Co. to Somerset Co., due to the invasion of the British. Further, it's been said that these families were required to enlist in the militia (of Somerset Co. I'm presuming). Can anyone point me to a source that might confirm that? This could be the answer my friend's been looking for for a very long time. Thanks guys -- Terri Shameless plug here -- add a new twig to my NJ tree -- Marcus Taylor Pierce born, 16 August.
