I was reading more history (Isn't that half of the fun of genealogy?) this
time on Kingwood Twp. at

http://twp.kingwood.hunterdon.nj.us/township_history.html

and noted this bit:

"The beginning of the 18th century, about 1720, brought the Baptists who
settled Baptistown. Among them was Isaac Woolverton, William Fowler,
Elizabeth Warford, John Burtis, Ann Lawrence, and Mary Green. The Brays also
came to this area as Baptists. These families fanned out settling the areas
near the river and toward Barbertown."

Which of course raises the question, where did these Baptists move from?

It this perchance a link to the early Piscataway, NJ and Scotch Plains
Baptist churches suggested in the Woolverton stuff I saw some time back?
