And what is up with this?

Hypothesis: Elwell is a family name. Should be an Elwell married to a Garrison at least once, somewhere.

Uncle verne has made these same connections, I think. It's funny--like I'm several years behind his thought processes, but hitting similar theories--great minds think alike, no?

From an ancestry NJ forum.

I am pulling notes from a book called "Notices From New Jersey Newspapers 1781-1790"; Thomas B.Wilson, pub. Hunterdon House, Lambertville, New Jersey 1988 p. 59

20 April 1784 - New Jersey Gazette
William Garrison, Agent for Forfeited Estates, Salem County, adv. that all persons having demands against the following estates, which have already been sold, settle their accounts before September 1st. The estates referred to are those of:
Moses Atkinson, Hugh Coweperthwaite, Richard Mead, William Pearce, Philip Adams, James Sutton, Thomas Sutton,John Sutton, Israel Elwell, James Dean, Joseph Kendal, Rueben Langley, Abdon Abbot Jr., Robert Whitaker, Thomas Lamb, Jacob Vanmater, George Johnson, Joseph Hewlings, Christopher Rondolaer, Michael Miller, John Daniel, William Rawson, John Morrow, John Booden.

I just don't think that it's coincidence that Elwell was named Elwell. Give the two above things.
