History and Genealogy of Fenwick's Colony [N.J.]; by Thomas Shourds; Paper; 581pp; Published: 1876, Reprinted: 2008; ISBN: 9780806307145; Item # CF5350D.
Founded in 1675, Fenwick's Colony was the first permanent English-speaking settlement in the entire Delaware Valley. Constituting one-tenth of West New Jersey, Fenwick's Colony absorbed the nearby settlements of Finns and Swedes and attracted to itself a great number of immigrant Quakers. This book is a composite history and genealogy of the Colony, and the bulk of it is comprised of scores of family histories.
