Dear Listers,

As some of you may know, I have an interest in the Revolution. I am contemplating putting together a site which would help document our ancestors during the revolution through pension applications and other source documents. However, given the enormity of the task I am asking for help. Therefore, I am requesting that if anyone on this list has transcribed any revolutionary documents to please contact me. I would like to obtain copies of the transcriptions and copies of the original sources to compile into some organized format and to evenutally post onto a website.

Many of us only know a portion of the story of our ancestors. Through the use of multiple sources I believe we can establish a better understanding of their efforts, lend more credibility to the folklore and family myths of our ancestors, and perhaps we can better document the battles in NJ and the contributions of the NJ soldiers and militia.

I appreciate any items that the Hunterdon County List could contribute.

- John

P.s. For your information, I am affiliated with a Revolutionary lineage society, the Sons of the Revolution, and any material submitted may eventually be posted on their website.
