This is a reprint of a wide-ranging collection of genealogical and historical data pertaining to the founders and settlers of Monmouth County, New Jersey. The contents range from historical sketches to legends, from biographies to genealogies, from narratives to primary records, all run together as a serial record of Monmouth’s past. Originally published in a series of articles in the Monmouth Democrat and later gathered up and reproduced in book form, it is the valuable indexed edition that is reprinted here, and reprinted with Beekman’s authoritative history of the boundaries and townships of the county as well as the history of the Battle of Monmouth.
