<< Now that I see I've given Doug a different answer than yours to "What
County was Trenton in?", I'm wondering if we are talking about two

the first settlers of Trenton, in the Nottingham Town Book in 1692.
Nottingham was at that time in Burlington County. Did Trenton proper go
to Hunterdon later? >>

Trenton was part of Hunterdon County until 1838. This was the year Mercer was
created. Mercer County was taken from Hunterdon, Burlington, and I believe
Middlesex. The biggest part I would say came from Hunterdon. I have the dates
old Trenton Twp was created etc and will look them up. It helps when looking
up old records. Take care Gerald Varner
