We are looking for descendants of both Ephraim and Silas Newcomb who reportedly took part in the first act of defiance against the British crown in NJ, December 22, 1774. This tea burning was marked by a monument dedicated September 30, 1908 and we are celebrating its 100th anniversary. Please contact the Cumberland County Historical Society at library@cchistsoc.org.
