More information on the following individuals can be found on my Surnames page. I have had this Bible since my father Edward R. Wilson passed away in 1967. Wondering about the names within is what inspired my interest in Genealogy. Most of these people lived in Burlington and Atlantic Counties. The Carrigans (or Carigan-as spelled in the bible) and Sweeney's lived in Medford, Mt. Holly, Moorestown and Vincentown. The Batterson's lived in Washington Township and Shamong. The Wilson's lived in Vincentown, Medford and Atlantic City. If you find a connection, please let me know.
