Rev. WOODBRIDGE to Woodbridge, NJ. How many others?
Hello.During the past month (and last year) I have tried to put together a better description of the extended Francis MOORE family of 1600's Cambridge, MA.
I am limited to on-line research, and have not had much luck in finding a web site giving a good description of who his children were.
Today I discovered that I was putting the wrong name into a Google search.I tried a search for Francis' father, Enoch MOORE in England, and found much more information.
What seems pretty clear is that two of Francis MOORE's sons, Samuel and Matthew, moved to Newbury, MA, where their uncle and aunt lived.(Edmund and Sarah (MOORE) GREENLEAF)
But, in the 1600's, they are reported to have moved to Woodbridge, NJ.
I just did a search for Woodbridge, NJ, and found the town's web site offering a brief history.It states:
"Dally, in his history of Woodbridge, stated that it was so called in honor of Reverend John Woodbridge of Newbury, Massachusetts."
I am now wondering if a group of families who were in the same parish of Rev. Woodbridge in Newbury, MA, all left Newbury together and moved to Woodbridge, NJ.
I found a very good web site offering information on the MOORE families, and it mentioned two sources:
The Dally "Woodbridge and Vicinity" book mentioned above, and the DeForest's "Francis Moore of Cambridge, Massachusetts .."
It seems possible to me that more than two of Francis MOORE's children went to NJ.(Several are not accounted for.)And, I wonder if there is a list of all the people who moved to NJ with Rev. WOODBRIDGE.
