-------Original Message------- Does anyone know if similiar lists are available for other New Jersey counties? Sussex & Warren? Joan Wilton Hi Joan, The book I compiled my one list from, "The Loyalists of NJ" (fuller reference can be seen with my previous post on the message board) has the most comprehensive list I have seen, from all over the state. I pulled out for my list, only those directly identified from the southern counties. There are many more who could be from here, but these sources don't specify always where in NJ in each case. You can check the on-line sites too, look for muster rolls, the regimental histories, but also at the State Archives, the local courthouses and historical society libraries for the specific locales you seek. One place I haven't checked yet, though it occured to me there may be files, is the David Library of the Revolution, in Washington's Crossing, Pa. I have a sister that lives near there, so have been meaning to go check out their holdings for some time now. One more thing on my list of things to do since I'll be off-line for awhile. <smile> I offered what I had gathered so far, hoping to attract some attention to this line of research, get people thinking about the possibility, and of course sharing so we don't all reinvent the same wheels looking for this stuff. War is called "The Great Disruptor" and I know I am not alone at having several brick walls in that time frame in my own family lines. Besides, I've weathered several computer crashes at this point in my life, and I have learned the truth in the statement, we only keep what we give away. Putting this on line, means I can refer back to it later too, in case my files get corrupted. There is always more than one way to skin a cat, so my approach is gathering all I can from as many places as I can find it, then sorting through, see if I can connect some dots that will help me understand what I couldn't see before as far as what was going on in my ancestor's time. Reading general histories is helpful, but those are most often written by the "winners", no? Once some one was an "outsider", be it in war or religion or even just because they migrated away for other reasons, they "disapear" in most local regards, in civil records anyway. So, I have set out to learn all I can on this topic right now, from histories, biographies, journals, and especially original documents in various archives, but I am also open to looking around in alternate sources to find some of my lost kin. I learn as much some days from queries from people who are far away from Salem county roots, seeking back here for their source. The further perspective they offer has opened my eyes on more than one occasion. Hope this helps suggest some places to look. Val
