    1. [NJMORRIS] Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church around 1769/Bondsmen questions
    2. Hi! Does anyone know how people acquired their pews at the Basking Ridge Presbyterian church? First come, first served? Most important people best pews? Secondly, looks like my ancestor and others were church hopping between Basking Ridge (Pew holders 1769+), marrying, etc., at First Presbyterian, Morristown. It seems more than a case of wife, etc., belongs to other church. Does anyone know the history of these two churches? Was there only one church available in the area? When was the other built? Looking at period 1760-1799. And secondly, in a notice of death 12/30/1776 it lists "Fellow Bondsmen: Joseph Marsh, Morristown, NJ" What is a fellow bondsmen? Thanks, Melissa
