All,   I am curious to learn whether John Bailey, one of four persons to found the Elizabethtown Associates in the 1690s which set up allotments for parcels in that area which included Scotsplain in Essex/Union Co., NJ was related to David P. Bailey of Sussex Co. ca. pre to post Revolution.  Members of the group received 100 acre allotments and some prevalent names were Joseph Lyon and Jonathan Littell.  These names were found through the Revolution in the Scotsplain area but also appear in the Pochuck (Sussex)/Amity (Orange) area during and post Revolution.    David P. Bailey resided in Dutch Pond settlement which extended to Pleasant Lake on Mt. Pochuck.  An apple tree planted there dated back to at least 1750.  Wondering if there was a clear migration path from Essex Co. to Sussex Co. for the Bailey family, followed also by the Lyon and Littell families and others.  I have been trying to figure out whether the Littells and Lyons, who owned extensive land on Pochuck and near Vernon Twp., in Sussex later migrated to Essex or the other way around.   All of this leading to my Pearce family who were at the least neighbors of the Baileys.  They may be the same Baileys with whom they intermarried in Indiana in the 1800s and 1900s.  The Pearce family of Scotsplain, evidently present there perhaps by 1700 or anywhere up to 1740s, later intermarried with the Lyon and Littell families and those families migrated together to Butler Co., Ohio.   Does anyone know where the Lyon and Littell families came from to NJ, Long Island or Westchester Co., NY or elsewhere?   Sharon Pearce, sharpearce@yahoo.com  http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Politics/Activism/Blog~634172.aspx Republicans are not needed and have nothing to add.  Dave Swanson at www.afterdowningstreet.com
