Hi, all. I'm looking for traces of a Stoms family living in Salem Co. in the early 1800s, possibly around the Upper Pittsgrove area. I know for sure of Adam, who was born around about 1814-1818; his name was later changed to Storms during the Civil War. (Adam married Joanna Earnest in Daretown right after the Civil War) The Civil War records give some possibilities of other Stoms in that area prior to the war.....possibly a William. Does anyone have any record of this family? A descendant of Adam's (he was married several times, to - I think - a Bilderbeck and to a Peachey) says that the original family name was probably Stamm and originated in Friesland, NJ.....for now, though, it would be great to find some record of Stoms in this county in that time frame.
