Hi, The Charles E Sheppard papers are actually called - by him! - M.H. & G. (My History And Genealogy). They are at the Vineland Historical Society and have been microfilmed by the LDS. Go to www.familysearch.org and click on Library. Click on Family History Library Catalog and do a Place search for Salem New Jersey or Cumberland New Jersey - either one works. Go to New Jersey, Salem-Genealogy. Click on M. h. & g. [My history and genealogy] Sheppard, Charles E This is the record for the Charles E. Sheppard papers. You can see that they were filmed at the Vineland Historical Society. Click on View Film Notes. There you will see the 17 rolls of microfilm that make up this collection listed. Notice that films 441366 - 441372 are all family folders in alphabetical order. I have found a lot of my family information in these microfilms! You can order a film or films from an LDS Family History Center near you to view at the Center and make copies of pages. Find the nearest Center by searching on http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp Good luck!

Hi Everyone, I just heard Actress Katharine Hepburn has died at the age of 96. I thought she already passed on. Thought I would pass it on. Robin

Hi, Has anyone heard of the Charles Shepperd Papers that talk about some of the South Jersey Families? Probably just Salem County families. Are their copies out there to buy? Is any of it on the internet? Thanks, Robin Stinson

Cushing, M.D. & Charles E. Sheppard, Esq. PHILADELPHIA: EVERTS & PECK. 1883 PRESS OF J.B. LIPPINCOTT & SONS, PHILADELPHIA. Fairs - The number of people at Cohansey, or Greenwich, increasing, the Assembly passed an act in May, 1695, for the holding of two fairs yearly "at the town of Greenwich, at Cohansey, alias Caesarea, River," the first to be held on April 24th and 25th, and the other on October 16th and 17th of each year, and enacted that it should be lawful for all persons to buy or sell all manner of lawful goods, and to be free from arrests on said days and for two days before and after the fair days, except it be for breach of the peace. ----------------------- This is the first mention of the name Cohansey, and tradition says that it was the name of an Indian chief who resided in this region. The correct spelling of the Indian name is supposed to be Cohanzick. The whole region drained by that river was called Cohansey for many years, but the town above provided for soon took the name of Greenwich. Except as the name of the river, this Indian cognomen is now known only as the name of a small cross-roads post-office, established in 1870, near the head-waters of the river and close to the Salem County line, and as the name of one or two beneficial societies. It is much to be regretted that this beautiful Indian name was not retained for Greenwich, or that when the old name of Cohansey Bridge for the county-seat was changed, the last of the two words was not dropped instead of the first. The Indian name of the river, according to some authorities, was Canahockink, but on the earliest map of the Delaware and its shores, made by the eminent Swedish engineer, Peter Lindstrom, in 1654 and 1655, the Indian name of the Cohansey is given as Sepahacking. Fenwick, in his will, directed that it should thereafter be called Caesaria River, but that name never came into general use.

Hello, In some old documents I have been looking over concerning my Westcott line I have been coming across a place or a name of a river called Ceariae River. These records were made around the 16 & 1700's. Can anyone out there tell me a little about this River and the area around it.

Hello again, Gary. If you would check the 12th NJ that would be great. I had had a woman in the DC area look for pension files, but never got anything from that. Thanks. Dot

Dot, Thanks for your info. There are several Miller families in Salem. I don't know if they are related. Caroline's mom is actually where I am stuck. I was hoping that if I could find the marriage certificate, I might be able to get her maiden name. Caroline's Dad, John Miller, 3rd was a Private in the 12th NJ and was killed during the Civil War. If you want me to I can check my records on the 12th to see if I can find anything on Samuel. The 12th was organized at Salem.

In the tax list for Greenwich Twp, 1783, there is a listing for a Com Tonkin. Before I dismiss that as a typographical error on the first name, I thought I'd consult the learned minds of The List. Is that an actual first name? Or is it a typo? All the other Tonkin names listed are ones that are accounted for in family Bibles and census records. So what say you? Janet T.
