Perhaps that is in part the reason not all inquisitons, if they resulted in forfeited property, were not included in these lists. The accounting is difficult to follow in this format, in any case, but possibly the line that shows previous money paid to the state would indicate an earlier reckoning. In this same file there were about 20, vouchers, but not numbered as referred to above. I will note the names listed in my next post. One other note, the values given for the sale of property may or may not reflect the true values in war time. All were exposed to public auction, and at least one opinion I have read, suggests that they were often let go at considerably less than their true value. Val

Hello All, Here is an interesting site (provided to me by co-list member) for those interested in the Pitman Grove info that has been on the list of late. http://www.goodshepherdpitman.org/history.htm <A HREF="http://www.goodshepherdpitman.org/history.htm">Click here: History of the Church of Good Shepherd, Pitman </A> Best Regards, Keith Allen

Hi, Joan and everyone. : ) Pitman used to be a thriving vacation community. There was a lovely amusement park off Alcyon lake, which was *the* place to go. Fishing, boating shopping and general recreation abounded. The Grove in Pitman is an area made up of the small, closely set old vacation cottages from the good ol' days. I remember in High School, when we played Pitman High, we would chant, "Go home Grovers, go home!" *sigh* Ah, nostalgia. *grin* The kids can't call them Grovers today, though--my friend's daughter tells me it's considered an insult. Cheers! -summerdaysands

Hello Listmembers, In looking through the Salem Co., NJ Census of 1860 I find the following information on the Seeds Family. I think you are looking for Pittsgrove, as to tyhe best of my knowledge there is no Pittman Grove. There is a Union Grove in Salem Co., and a Pittman in Gloucester Co., but I think you want Pittsgrove in Salem Co., NJ In Pittsgrove Township Salem Co., NJ All of the following were living in the SAME household in the 1860 Census (* note this is the spelling as in this book*) (* note these family's had others living in the same house with different last names) 1st household Page in 1860 Census #31 Page in this book # 28 Name Age Sex Occupation Birthplace Gibson, Hannah 40 F Domestic NJ Gibson, Isaac 16 M NJ Gibson, Jacob 13 M NJ Seedes, Christopher 38 M Laborer NJ Seedes, Catharin 34 F NJ Seedes, Phebe 12 F NJ Seedes, Isaac 9 M NJ Seedes, Hepsey 6 F NJ Seedes, Samuel 2 M NJ Seedes, baby 2/12 M NJ All of the above were living in the same house. ***************** In the house listed right next door was the following Seeds family, with yet a different name spelling, as follows; In Pittsgrove Township Salem Co., NJ All of the following were living in the SAME household in the 1860 Census (* note this is the spelling as in this book*) (* note these family's had others living in the same house with different last names) 2nd household Page in 1860 Census #31 Page in this book # 28 Name Age Sex Occupation Birthplace Seeds, Owen 45 M Laborer NJ Seeds, Rebecca 33 F NJ Potter, Michael 28 M Master Farmer NJ Potter, Margaret Ann 19 F NJ Potter, Ann Laura 5/12 F NJ Rennels, George 30 M Laborer NJ Rennels, Ann 31 F NJ Rennels, Sarah 1 F NJ All of the above were living in the same house. ***************** The 2 famlies above are the only Seeds / Seedes family living in Salem Co., NJ in the 1860 census, So, if your Christopher Seed's father was living then he was not in Salem County. In looking at those who have a headstone in Olivet Cemetery I find the following 2 in the OLIVET METHODIST CEMETERY in Pittsgrove Twp., Salem Co., NJ Seeds, Ella, Stanton, b. 1874, d. 1942, W/o Monroe Seeds, Seeds, Monroe, (no dates) H/o Ella Stanton Seeds, I hope this has been of some help to you in your search.

Joan CURRIDEN, PHILIP State: NJ Year: 1793 County: Salem County Record Type: June Tax List Township: Upper Penns Neck Page: Database: NJ Tax Lists Index 1772-1822

1790 (First Census of the United States) - No schedules are known to exist for Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia; apparently they were destroyed during the British attack on Washington during the War of 1812. The 1790 schedules for Virginia were reconstructed from state enumerations. 1800 - Schedules survive for 13 states. Lost schedules include those for Georgia, Indiana Territory, Kentucky, Mississippi Territory, New Jersey, Northwest Territory, Virginia, Tennessee, and Alexandria County, District of Columbia. Some of the schedules for these states have been re-created using tax lists and other records. 1810 - Schedules exist for 17 states. There was, however, a district wide loss for District of Columbia, Georgia, Indiana Territory, Mississippi Territory, Louisiana Territory (MO), New Jersey and Tennessee. Partial losses included Illinois Territory, which had only two counties (Randolph is extant, St. Clair is lost.), and OH, all lost except Washington County. Some of the schedules for these states have been re-created using tax lists and other records. 1820 - There was a district wide loss for Arkansas Territory, Missouri Territory and New Jersey. Partial losses included half the counties in Alabama, and roughly 20 eastern Tennessee counties supervised by the Federal Court District out of Knoxville. Some of the schedules for these states have been re-created using tax lists and other records.

I believe the Censuses for New Jersey for 1790-1820 have been lost or destroyed. The earliest census is 1830, showing two Curriden families in Salem County: Philip in Upper Penns Neck with 2 boys under 5, 1 age 5-10, 1 age 10-20, Philip age 30-40, and one female age 10-15; Joseph in Upper Alloways Creek with 2 boys age 5-10, Joseph age 30-40, 1 girl under age 5, and one female age 40-50. The first census that lists all family members, 1850, shows Philip and Mary in Upper Penns Neck with their 8 children: Mary (10), Martin (9), Philip (7), Emma (5), Garret (4), Sarah (3), Charlott (1), and Otis (5 months). I suppose it's his son Philip who was in the Civil War from New Jersey in Company K from March 2 to July 13, 1865? Hope this helps. Curriden wrote...
