Hello, I'm looking for an Isaac COMPTON & wife Ann ----, who had a son Jonathan COMPTON b. ca 1780. The COMPTON's went to Berkeley Co, (W)VA where Isaac died Feb 1826.

Wilmer and all, It's also possible that John Bishop of Frederick co. (the Opeckon area) also came from the Monmouth co., NJ area. Although he was a brief inhabitant of Bucks co., PA, he's not in the records there, nor does he match up with the other Bishops of Chester co., PA, etc. He married a Quaker girl in 1737, but the strange thing is -- he married her in Bergen county, NJ. They eloped, I guess, but Bergen county was sure an awful out of the way place to travel from Bucks. The m. certificate states they were both 'of Bucks county'. The only reason I can think of, is that the place in Bergen they married may have been close to Monmouth and Long Island. Also, in 1744 John Bishop wanted to have a VA deed made out to Wm Shrieve, who hailed from Rhode Island. I've seen a book on the Stillwell family that mentions a John Bishop in Monmouth in the 1670s. Anyway, it was interesting to see where some Frederick settlers came from. Thanks for that information, Tom Bishop ==== OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA Mailing List ==== List Problems?

Bob Scott: Many of the first settlers in Old Frederick County (VA) came from Monmouth County, Province of East Jersey. Benjamin Bordin (1692-1743) came to Frederick County to serve as a land agent for Lord Fairfax. Although he settled in what is now Clarke County, he was one of the first to purchase land on Apple Pie Ridge from Alexander Ross/ Morgan Bryan. As you may know, the Bordins were very active citizens and well-known in their hometown of Freehold, New Jersey. Also, from Freehold, NJ were the Foremans who settled in Hampshire Parish, which later became Hampshire County, (WV). Benjamin Foreman (1695-1751) held several political appointments in Old Frederick, including constable and justice of the peace. My research on the Foreman family is extensive, in case someone is researching that surname, let me know. Originally English, the Foreman family spent a brief period in Holland before settling on Long Island (NY) in 1645, and Benjamin's father came to East Jersey in 1690. John Van Meter (1682-1745) came from New York to Somerset County, Province of East Jersey, in 1689. It was during this period that settlers in New York moved into the Jerseys and later, in the 1730s, to Old Frederick County. These people were instrumental in attracting settlers to "Old Frederick County." While looking through Monmouth County records, I saw many surnames that unmistakeably came to Old Frederick. For example, Benjamin Hull, Cornelius Vanorsdale, and other surnames such as Higgins, Royce, Taylor, Ruckman, Davis, Allen and so forth. There was definitely a pattern or movement of settlers from New York to the Jerseys during the late 1600s and ultimately to the Shenandoah Valley during the 1730s and early 1740s. Wilmer L.

Researching John J. COOPER, born 1813 in VA, possibly Shenandoah County. Said to be Scotch-Irish descent.

My reseach has taken me back to Adam and Eve Margaret ( ) LAWYER, whose daughter Eve married Elisha NEWCOMB, with bond signed 25 Sep 1816 with a Henry NAVELL. The abstract of the Frederick Co Will book 6 page 505 gives that Adam LAWYER had died before 7 Dec 1799. In their book "The Carpers of Carpers Valley" Janice M Carper and Lois C Marbert give that the LAWYERs lived near the CARPERs and like them leased land from a Robert Warmley CARTER. Also gives that a John BOWLES as his second marriage married Elizabeth, a daughter of Adam and Eve Margaret LAWYER. Carpers Valley is about four miles southeast of Winchester. Does anyone have further information on the family or any on the origins of Adam and Eve Margaret LAWYER?
