    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Fergurson, Fisher, Gibbs, Money or Mooney, Pippin Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oRB.2ACI/724.1.1 Message Board Post: I am not familiar with the name, but find one reference doing a quick check in "Salem County Wills 1804-1803" Abstracted by H. Stanley Craig, p. 74 Will of Joseph Money, Feb. 17, 1814. Upper Alloways Creek. To wife, Enis Money, my house and land in Upper Alloways Creek. Executrix, wife Enice Mooney. Witnesses William Fisher, Joseph Fergurson and William Pippin. Proved Dec. 16, 1815. Administration cum text annexa was granted to Joseph Money and Edward B. Gibbs Dec. 20. 1815. B-263 My guess is this puts your guy in the neighborhood of Upper Alloways creek, and so my suggestion is you get full copies of this and any other records you can find....don't rely on just the abstracts for they often overlook information you might find useful. You might contact the Salem County courthouse or either the Salem or Gloucester county Historical Societies, or perhaps even the LDS family history center nearest you to find copies. The books will be in the courthouse, but the others may have them on microfilm. Start checking around the web on the other names involved here...you may find a connection to your guy by not just neighborhood but perhaps family or business or religion.. and anything that puts your mystery man in the context of his social place in time can help you determine where to look next. Hope this helps. Val
