Has anyone in this group ever run across a list of passengers that traveled from Dublin to America on "Ye Owner's Adventure" in 1681? I think they disembarked at a place called Elsinboro, and that at least some of them were Quakers. Am looking for any reference to a Rodger Crary, supposedly on that voyage. Thanks in advance, Carolyn Crary Flint
There's an Elsinboro in Salem County, New Jersey. Many Quakers resided in that area - try "Salem County Historical Society" in Salem, Salem, NJ Joan jcp163@tampabay.rr.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn Flint" <molly@tenforward.com> To: <QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 01, 2004 9:16 AM Subject: [Q-R] "Ye Owner's Adventure" 1681 > Has anyone in this group ever run across a list of passengers that > traveled > from Dublin to America on "Ye Owner's Adventure" in 1681?

Carolyn, Yes, this was a group of English and Irish Quakers who landed and settled at Newton Colony in southern New Jersey. In those days, it was Gloucester County, but the area is now known as Camden County and the new Gloucester County is to the south. The towns that make up what was then Newton Colony are today called Oaklyn, Haddon Township, Collingswood, West Collingswood, and part of Camden. Most traces of the old colony are gone, but the original burial ground exists. No stones exist from that period, though. It is reported the Quaker Meeting House was on the same ground. I have been researching this colony for the Bates Association. I don't recognize the name you mentioned, but I'll look through the information I have and see if I run across it.
