    1. [NYDUTCH] Colonial Militia Jerseymen

    3. Can someone help me to locate or clarify something on the following supposed source. I have a SCHOUTEN/SCOWDEN researcher claiming that she has seen Andres Scouten listed in DAR records; he was listed from Essex NJ. He was with the "Jerseymen." and that I can find records on www.gencircle.com and from www.hollandsociety.com. Well maybe GenCircles has somebody's database tree, but I have not found any source records yet. She is pulling stuff from recollection and admits that she never wrote down the specifics. She saw this info in passing. I don't see any for the early colonial militia for NJ that is transcribed at the Holland Society web page either or anything which included something close to the name of Andres Scouten. I would appreciate if anyone would have a clue as to what body of colonial military records might exist to look for this to confirm and verify this matter of the ones called "Jerseymen", when they were organized and how I might find the muster rolls, if they exist. Thanks, Virginia Jones
