throughout New Jersey, as well as many
other states. and especially in Burlington
county and yet it is presumed that but

of the members of the family have pre-
served are exceedingly interesting, notably
those prepared and published some years
since by Col. Enos Goble Budd, of Budd's
Lake. Morris County. From these chiefly
are gathered the following items, which
pertain directly to one only of the many
lines of descent.

family in France and England for several
