Hello List Members,
I thought I should forward this from another list because it lists a lot of
long term southern NJ names. Hope it helps someone! Joan

Dear genealogical friends and family,

Please pardon any double messages since the information from this
document should interest many of the groups of people I deal with, so
you may be on more than one list. Since the information comes from the
vault of the Stewart Collection at Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ,
few people have access to the information. I am obligated to share.

Notes by Glenn Bingham, the transcriber/compiler, 2000 Feb

*There were several entries for "Joeph Corson, Brigg" It could very well
indicate a "brig," that is, a sailing vessel. Several sailing vessels
took on stores from Somers, including one sloop called "The Mayflower,"
Rufus Green, Capt.
*Christopher Stafford is the father-in-law to Jacob Bingham/ Bingman.
Jacob and his wife Elizabeth Stafford Bingham/ Bingman had a son named
Samuel Parker Bingman. It seems beyond coincidence that Elizabeth's
father and Samuel Parker walked into Somers' store on the same day.
*Somers seemed to carefully separate Thomas Doughty and Thomas Doughty
of Turkey Hoe (Tuckahoe). The latter, who owned property on the Tuckahoe
River, married Prudence Parsons and kept Doughty's Tavern in Milmay,
(then) Hamilton Twp. The Turkey Hoe Doughty had a daughter, Millicent
Gwynn (Gwin?).
*John Ackley is probably Daniel Brandriff, Sr's brother-in-law or
father-in-law. Timothy Brandriff is Timothy, III, Daniel's father. There
it is: Mom's family 7 generations back in the same store as Dad's family
(through an uncle) 7 generations back.
*Zephaniah Doughty was the son of Jonathan and Hannah Ingersol Doughty.
Jonathan deeded land to Zeph in 1790, so we know he was of age. Jonathan
was the son of Edward and Margaret Doughty. Thomas Doughty of Egg Harbor
was, likewise, the son of Edward and Margaret Doughty. He was apparently
alive during this period. It is curious, however, that the Thomas
Doughty of Turkey Hoe is not listed as Thomas, Jr., since we have
thought from time to time that he was the son of the aforementioned
Thomas. Somers' designation, in subtle fashion, might suggest that he
was not. From Benjamin Parsons' 1796 will, we know his daughter Prudence
was married at that time to Doughty ("Prudy Doughty"); however, in
Thomas, son of Edward's will of 1801, he intimates that his son Thomas
is living with his mother since they are given use of the house.
Furthermore, Thomas is given the house except in the case that he
predecease his mother without any issue. So it seems he had no children
and probably wasn't married at the time. In total, then, it seems that
Thomas Doughty of Turkey Hoe (Hamilton Twp) was not the son of Thomas
Doughty, son of Edward Doughty.
*Jobs Point is adjacent to Somers Point (West of it) and is carved out
by the Egg Harbor River and Patcong Creek (if I can assume that present
day Jobs Point Road goes to Jobs Point).
