I wish the County Library could be of more help on this question, because we
refer people to Beverly's excellent website so often, and it would be a way to
thank her. Unfortunately, nothing at the North County Branch (where I am at
the moment)offers any more information. Lequear's "Traditions of Hunterdon" is
silent, and Honeyman's "Northwestern New Jersey" plagiarizes Snell's history
without adding any information. I do not think there is anything more in the
Reference collection currently packed away at the main library (due to open, by
the way, on January 17), and my speculations on "Holland" could only echo those
that have already been posted.
