Revolutionary War Property Confiscations
One of the ugliest things about Revolution is that it pits brother against brother. The victors, of course, get to write the histories. But the Revolution, far from being the sanitized “British vs. Americans” conflict taught in our schools, also pitted Americans against other Americans.
A list of the names of all those Persons whose property was Confiscated in the Several Counties of the State of New Jersey, for joining the Army of the King of Great Britain &c. as returned to the Auditors Office, previous to the first day of May 1787.
I am not related to this family, just passing on this information, which comes from a webpage titled "Property Confiscations, Monmouth County." The link for the site is listed below.
