LITTLE EGG HARBOR has come to mean the north side of the MULLICA RIVER.
as LITTLE EGG HARBOR Twnsp,Burlington cO nj and nearby LITTLE EGG HARBOR
BAY,and LITTLE EGG HARBOR QUAKER MEETING; However, as used by the OHIO
JERSEY SETTLEMENT ,LITTLE EGG HARBOR also refered to the river,and it's
south- old GLOUCESTER CO NJ-MOW Atlantic co side. I would guess Mary was
born in galloway township-port republic-collins mill-smithville-leeds
point NJ area. If not dau of GEORGE HIGBEE-McCollum wife, or Ohio 1803
neighbor ISAAC and SOPHIA SOMERS HIGBEE,then she has to be a niece. Hunt
on-line for DEE ENDICOTT,of n Cape May Co NJ My wifes SW OH ISAIAH and
MARY SOOY JOHNSON were from the north side. My grandmother's JAMES and
Rhoda Byard Leeds,AND James and Ruhama Champion Blackman, AND 1803
cLERMONT cO Ohio NJ colony leader were from the south side of the Mullica
river
