They show the formation of the 'government' in this new land while recording for us the names of those early settlers of this original county in New Jersey.\" Records are grouped by deed book: Book A (1669-c1680), Book B (c1685-1690), Book C (c1691-1696), and Book D (1697-1714). The early deed books covered much more than deeds, including the minutes and orders resulting from the first \"Assembly.\" Early entries list the names of original settlers along with the number of lots they purchased, and offer a glimpse of the tribulations faced by the inhabitants. Appointments, elections, court cases, juries, Letters of Attorney, Powers of Attorney, business transactions, land sales, marriages, recorded ear marks, arrest warrants, notes, and items of interest to the community are also recorded.

The centennial of the Battle of Monmouth followed, and the collection was enlarged by adding articles relating to that event. In addition to the historical information and the detailed accounts of the famous battle, it also contains a mass of genealogical information, including founding families, extracts from wills, inventories, court records and miscellaneous church and military records, and material relating to the Scotch immigration to the area in the late 17th century. The articles are arranged chronologically, beginning with a transcription of the Monmouth Patent of 1665. Highlights include the story of the arrival of Sir Henry Hudson in 1609 aboard his famous ship, the Half Moon. An extract from the logbook describes the first notices of the Monmouth area by Europeans, remarks about the country, its inhabitants, the first landing and other interesting matter. Anecdotes about local Indians, captivities and treaties add to the lively tone of these articles. The Battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778, was a turning point in the Revolution because it \"revived the drooping hopes of the people, and lent new energy to Washington and the brave and patriotic officers and soldiers of his army.\" One of the most famous stories associated with the battle is that of Molly Pitcher, the courageous young wife of a cannonier. \"Captain Molly,\" upon seeing her husband shot dead at his post, took his place at the cannon, seized the rammer, and vowed to avenge his death.

For roughly half of the persons listed, we find one or two identifying pieces of information, such as militia service, date of death, signer of a petition, conviction of a misdemeanor, occupation, and so on. But in an equal number of cases we are presented with enough information to trace the allegiance or comings and goings of a Monmouth County resident over a number of years (e.g., Abiel Aiken: militia volunteer, 1776; signer of petition, 1777; coroner, 1778; justice of the peace, 1780-83; leased horses to Continental Army, 1781; and so on).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael S.
