JOHN ADAMS settled first in Marshfield. "He dwelt near Mount Skirgo, an elevation of the Marshfield bounds of the forest which lies between this town and Pembroke."
[Miss Thomas's Memorials of Marshfield, p. 37] John was admitted a freeman of Plymouth Colony, June 1, 1658. He was a witness in a case of manslaughter, Jan 1654-5; a grand-juryman June, 1658; a member of a coroner's jury, July, 1658; and was appointed a constable of Marshfield, June 8, 1660. He subsequently removed to Flushing, Long Island, as is shown by a deed on record at Plymouth, Bk. iii. p. 127. The following is an abstact of an attested copy by William S. Danforth, register of deeds.
"Captain John Adams, of the towne of Flushinge, in Long Island in New England, America," sells Dec. 10, 1666, to "Nathaniel Warren of the Towne of Plymouth in the jurisdiction of Plymouth in New England, in America, " &c. "all that my share lot and portion of land att or neare a place commonly called and knowne by the name of Nama Nakett in the jurisdiction of Plymouth, aforesaid, which was granted unto mee the said JohnAdams as being one of the children of the old comers of the said Jurisdictin according to grant of the court for the jurisdiction of Plymouth aforesaid bearing date the third day of June An° Dom: one thousand six hundred and sixty and two [See list of grantees in Plymouth Colony Records (Boston, 1855), vol iv. p. 19.] being the twenty eighth part of the tract of land purchased by Captaine Thomas Southworth of the Indain Sachem named Josias Wampatuck in the behalf of said court." and also share of lands "purchased by Major winslow lying and being att Namassakeesett ponds." signed by John Adams and the mark of Elizabeth Adams, his wife.
John and Elizabeth Adams were Friends or Quakers; and were both living in 1690; do not know where they died. In 1678 John gave a long narrative of his being a persecutor of Friends in New England when he was a constable; He was a sober young man, but full of vanity. He was a member of the Independent Congregational Church for many years; he had a wife and children there, but by God"s Providence he was brought to Flushing; having first taken from him his dear wife Joane. He went to sea at her decease for two years.
John Adams was converted to Quakerism by the preaching of John Burnyeat and John Stubbs, preachers in New England [which then included Long Island east of Oyster Bay.] John had meetings at his house. In 1667 he was a leading member of the Meeting at Flushing. In 1684 the meeting lent him some money to pay for a negro he had bought as a loborer on his farm. His name appears in Meeting records in 1667—1673. In 1691 he sold his farm at Bayside, Flushing, to John Rodman, of Block Island." [end of Onderdonk information]
In a subsequent letter Mr. Onderdonk says, in reply to the suggestion that Joane and Jane were identical names:
"Joane and Jane I think to be the same name. John and Elzabeth Adams exchanged their farm of 130 acres in Flushing, for house, 500 Acres of land and £190 cash, in West New Jersey, June 4, 1691. John's confession, in which he gives an account of his life, was made to the Meeting. He was charged with going over to the Ranters, a noisy faction of Friends. He retracts his error, and therein gives a long account of his opinions, and how God controlled his actions, &c. &c. It was a case of discipline, and of course not printed. I copied all of it that was not torn off years ago, because I thought it so interesting; and so with the births; and you are the first that has applied to me for that knowledge."
John Adam's last child, Rebecca, by his first wife, Joane, was born Feb 13, 1661, probably 1661-62, and his first child, John, by his second wife, Elizabeth, was born Aug. 17, 1664. His wife Jane, or Joane, probably died soon after the birth of Rebecca, as he states in the document quoted by Mr. Onderdonk, that he went to sea for two years after the death of his first wife, before settling at Flushing.

Military
John was a Private in Captain Enos Johnston's Company, First Regiment - Infantry. Commissioned Sept 14, 1794. Discharged Dec 24, 1794. He was part of troops in the Pennsylvania Insurrection of 1794.
In 1794, Congress passsed laws putting duties upon distilled liquors and stills. This tax greatly affected the interests of the inhabitants of western Pennsylvania. As sson as it was levied, they combined in Allegheny, Fayette, Washington, and Wetmoreland Counties to prevent collection. What followed was attacks on United States Inspectors, killling some and forcing others to leave, and a genral spirit of lawlessness. This was knwo as "The Whiskey Rebellion."
In response, Congress passed an act on May of 1794 directing that a militia be prepared from several states. On August 7th, President Washington called forth the militia of Pennsylvania and put other militias on the alert. The New Jersey Com mander-In-Chief of Militia, Anthony W. Wite ordered on August 23rd his militia to ready.
By the first of September, the New Jersey Militia was called to Trenton. On Setember 25th, President Washington called for troops from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland. These troops met at Carlisle, PA. They then traveled through Shipensburg, Strausburg, crossed the Blue Mountains into Bedford, Parkisson's Ferryand Pittsburg, fighting skirmishes along the way. Eventually, the Whiskey Boys succumbed and pledged future submission. The army began to return home on the 21st of November.
The New Jersey Militia arrived at Trenton on Oct 9th. They were discharged at Trenton December 23 through December 25, 1794.

History
" Nicholas might have immigrated to New England in 1635 with Rev. John Hull. The first records showing him, marriage records, indicated that he was from Weymouth, MA. He shared in teh division of lands in 1651 and was Constable in 1657, an office of distinction.
Nicholas petitioned the General Court of the state of Massachusetts in 1658 on behalf of his servatn, to refund the bond posted by his proor servant and forfeited by ignorance of manners of teh proceedings of the court.
In 1659, Nicholas was still called "of Weymouth" while he appeard in the records of Marth's Vieneyard. hew was a chosen as a referee to represent the twon of Edgartown in a controversy with John Daggett about his farm at Oak Bluffs.
On 22 August 1659, "Goodman' Norton was granted a forty-acre grant situated north of the Great Swamp and south of the present road to West Tisbury. The same day he was 'ordered by the town that Goodman Norton shall have Liverty to make use of any pond about the Ox Pond for this trade, except the Great Ponds.' He was an earlier owner of land at Sanchacantackett in the vicinity of Major's Cove. These lands were purchase from the Wampmag Indians. He also held the ususal proprietor's shares in various division of town land, besides a plot of meadow land at Aquampache.
Before the end of 1659, Nicholas was engaged in two lawsuits as a plaintiff and a defendant. He was sued by Henry Gousee and was mulcted in the sum of five shillings 'for charges about the cure of Mr. Gusses's child: to pay on half in Wampam current and halfe in corne and five shillings to the Constable for the Tryall about the abuse of Mr. Gousses's child. The exact nature of this suit is not clear from the records. In the same year, Nicholas sued the Rev. Mr. Cotton, missionary to the Indians.
In 1666 Nicholas was forbidden by the proprietors of the fish weir from taking any fish at Matttakeesett Creek, the right ot which he claimed by purchase from teh sachem Tewanticut,.
In 1673 he joined the 'Dutch Rebellion' with others of his townsmen and when it had collapsed he was tried and convicted." Banks, History of Martha's Vienyard, pp 56-87.

Thomas Rogers was a member of the English Separatist church and sometime after 1613, the last recorded baptism of his children, he, his wife, and children, moved to Leiden (Holland) as members of the Separatist church there. The earliest Leiden record for Thomas Rogers notes that on February 14, 1614 he bought a house on Barabarasteeg from Jan Bloemsaer, a baker. Leiden records also notes that Rogers became a citizen of Leiden on June 25, 1618, guaranteed by Englishmen William Jepson from Worksop, Nottinghamshire and Roger Wilson of Sandwich, co. Kent. That record states that he was a merchant of camlet, a luxury Asian-type fabric made from a combination of silk and camel's hair.
Other Leiden records for Thomas Rogers show that in 1619, when he was preparing to sell his house in preparation for his departure from Leiden for America, he found that his property still had an outstanding lien on it, forcing him to sue Jan Bloemsaer, from whom he originally purchased the home, and bondsman Gerrit Gerritsz. He was finally able to sell his home on April 1, 1620 to Mordecheus Colven for three hundred guilders.
Per author Eugene Stratton, the 1622 Leiden poll tax listed the family of Thomas Rogers residing there in poverty, but apparently without his wife Alice. Instead of Alice, this family included a possible second wife named Elizabeth – or the Dutch variant Elsgen, and with the children of Thomas Rogers – son John and daughters Lysbeth (Dutch for Elizabeth) and Grietgen (Dutch for Margaret).
Thomas Rogers traveled on the Mayflower with only his eldest son Joseph, leaving behind in Leiden his wife and their three other children – John, Elizabeth and Margaret. In the 1622 poll tax for Leiden, Rogers' family were found among the poor of Leiden, residing at the rear of Anthony Clement's home. His possible second wife, who author Eugene Stratton lists as Elizabeth (or Elsgen) in the 1622 poll tax, may have died in Leiden sometime between 1622 and when his son John and possibly his daughters came to Plymouth sometime after 1627.
Thomas Rogers and his 18-year-old son Joseph departed Plymouth, England aboard the Mayflower on September 6/16, 1620. The small, 100-foot ship had 102 passengers and a crew of about 30-40 in extremely cramped conditions. By the second month out, the ship was being buffeted by strong westerly gales, causing the ship's timbers to be badly shaken with caulking failing to keep out sea water, and with passengers, even in their berths, lying wet and ill. This, combined with a lack of proper rations and unsanitary conditions for several months, attributed to what would be fatal for many, especially the majority of women and children. On the way there were two deaths, a crew member and a passenger, but the worst was yet to come after arriving at their destination when, in the space of several months, almost half the passengers perished in cold, harsh, unfamiliar New England winter.
On November 9/19, 1620, after about three months at sea, including a month of delays in England, they spotted land, which was the Cape Cod Hook, now called Provincetown Harbor. After several days of trying to get south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook, where they anchored on November 11/21. The Mayflower Compact was signed that day. Thomas Rogers was the 18th signatory to the Mayflower Compact. His son Joseph was then about 18 years of age and could not sign the Compact.
The Mayflower Compact was an iconic document in the history of America, written and signed aboard the Mayflower on November 11, 1620 while anchored in Provincetown Harbor in Massachusetts. The Compact was originally drafted as an instrument to maintain unity and discipline in Plymouth Colony, but it has become one of the most historic documents in American history. It was published in London in Mourt's Relation in 1622, and the authors had added a preamble to clarify its meaning: "it was thought good there should be an association and agreement, that we should combine together in one body, and to submit to such government and governors as we should by common consent agree to make and choose."
Thomas Rogers died sometime in the (first )winter of 1620/21. He was buried, likely in an unmarked grave as with most Mayflower passengers who died in the first winter, in Coles Hill Burial Ground in Plymouth. The name of Thomas Rogers is memorialized on the Pilgrim Memorial Tomb on Coles Hill. (His son, Joseph, survived and had many descendants).
Per author Caleb Johnson, about 1629 or 1630 Thomas Rogers' three children were residing in Leiden, John, Elizabeth and Margaret, and the remainder of the church members residing in Leiden, came to Plymouth at colony expense.

NJ History
"After years of persecution by the Puritans in England and New Englad, the Quakers began to look for unoccupied land in the colonies where they could settle and live thier own lives in peace. George Fox was in teh colonies from 1671 to 1673, preaching and visiting from Carolina to Rhode Isalnd... Teh fist substantial settlement of Quakers, hoever, was made in 1677-1678 on the east side of the Delaware River, in the new Province of West Jersey" - Rose, p 71
In 1673, Lord Berkeley offered his share of the province of West Jersey for sale.
"Berkely received an offer of one thousand pouns from two English Quakers, John Fenwick and Edward Byllinge, and conveyed hisinterest in the province to Fenwick in trust for Byllinge. A dispute arose beteen them as to the rightful share of each. The Friends were adverse to litigation, and to avoid a scandal the matter was referred to William Penn for arbitration. It was thus that the founder of Pennsylvania was first attracte to tlans along the Delaware.
In the decision of Penn the territory was to be divided into one hundred lots, or proprieties, then of them to be awarded to Fenwick adn the other ninty to the creidtors of Byllinge, who was involved in financial troubles. Fenwick at once made preparations for the exploitation of his purchase, and in 1675, establised a stettlement at Salem.
Byllinge turned over his propoerty rights in the province to theree of his principal creditors as trustees, William Penn, Gawen Lawrie, and Nicholas Lucas. His entire indebtedness was thirty-five hundred pounds sterling. Th creditors accepted, in satisfaction of this sum, one-tenth part of West Jersey. The trustees acted promptly and soon sold other shares to different purchasers, who thereby became proprietors, and with them A statement was issued setting forth the plans the Proporitors had in view and a form of government ....
The constituion or form of government thus made, the first experiment of the Quakers in legislation, and from which have sprung many of the existing institutions of the State, was entitled 'The Concessions and Agreements of the Proprietors, Freeholders, and Inhabitants of the Province of West Jersey in America.'
This remarkable document insured the plantingof civil and religious liberty on the shores of teh Delaware. It created an executive and legislative power, a Governor to be chosen by an Assembly which should be elected by the votes of the people... No one might be deprived of life, liberty or estate without the verdict of a jury; imprisonment for debt was forbidden, the rights of teh Indians wwere to be protectd, orphasn to be brought up by the State, and religious freedom in its broadest sense guaranteed; and no one 'in the lesat punished or hurrt in person, estate or privilege for the sake of hisjudgment, faith,or worshiptoward God in matters of religiion, for no man nor number of men upon earth have power to rule over men'sconsciences."
Thid document was signed March 3, 1676. Three months laterthese men who were determined to build up America a government erected on liberal principles wrote: "There we lay a foundation for after ages to understand their lbierty as men adn Christians, that they may not be brought into bondage but by their won consent, for we put the power in the peiople.'
The purchasers of land in West Jersey were tow companies of Friends, or Quaker, one from Yourkshire, the other from London. They at once began preparations for colonizing West Jersey and were joined in teh advanture by many men from various parts of England. Commissioners sent out by tthe Proprietors with authority to buy lands from the inidans, inspect the rights of those who claimed property, order the lands laid out, and administer the governmetn for the Proprietors wer the first English Quakers to arrive at Chygoes Islan, teh site of the city of Burlington (NJ.
The Commissioners were Thomas Olive, Baniel Wills, John Kinsey, John Penford, Joseph Helmsley, Robert Stacy, Benjamin Scott, Richard Guy, and Thomas Foulkes" - Schermerhorn, pp. 12-14
Benjamin was not only a commissioner, but one of the original signers of the Concessions.
Immigration and Settlement
"Benjamin Scott did sail on a balmy day in early summer of 1677 aboard the ship Kent sailing from London to he new province of West Jersey. As the group of God=fearing, liberty loving people traveled down teh Thames, they passed the royal barge from which King Charels II gave them a blessing. It was this king, whose indifference to their welfre in Genland, that drove them from their hoem lands.
The voyage was long, tedious and comfortless. They arrived first in new Yourk to inform the newly appointed Governor of Ner Your, Sir Edmound Andros, of their intent to settle West Jersey. He demanded written evidence of authority to settle from the Duke of York, through whom the lands descended. Tehy had none. They also learned the John Fenwick was a prisoner in New Yoruk for the same omission. Fianlly, Governor Andros allowed them to settle providing that they secure the written authority from England.
By Auguts t16, the ship Kent arrived in New-Castle, Delaware. Frm there, they sailed up the Delaware River to Rancoon Creek in West Jersey. The settlers had nto determined a definite place to settle. These two hundre and thirty peoplle sough shelter at the Swedish settlements. '"The Swedes ha s some scattering habitations; but they were too numerous to be all provide for in houses; some were obliged to lay their beds and furniture incow stalls, and apartments of that sort; among the other inconveniences to which this exposed them, the snakes were now plenty enought to be frequently seen upon the hovels under which they sheltered." - Boyer, p. 218
The Quakers, with interpreters, Israel Helmes, Peter Reambo and lacy Cook, purchased from the Indians the land from Timber Creek to Trankokas Creek and from Oldman's Creek to Timber Creek. With Henrie Jacobson Falconbre as interreter, they purchased from Rankokas Creek to Assunpinck. Having agreed to buty the land, they did not hav sufficient Indian good to pay for it. They gave them what they had and agreed with the Indians not o settle until the rest was paid.
From this land the Yorkshire Commissioners, Joseph Helmsley, William Emley and Robert Tacy, chose the land from the falls of Delaware south. This was called the first tenth. The London Commissioners, John Penford, Thomas Olvie, Daniel Wills, and Benjamin Scott, on behalf of the ten London proprietors, chose the land at Arwaumus, which is aroung the area where Gloucester now is. This was called the second tenth.
The Yorkshire Commissioners, learning of the plan for the London Commissioners to settle at a great distance away, offered to join in settling a town. Having the best lands in the woods, the Yorshire Commissioners desired the larger share of the town. Since the Indians were numerous and the settlers few, they agreed. A survey, who came in the first ship, laid out the town. The new was New-Beverly. Later it became Bridlington, but soon changed to Burlington.

History of Henry Shivler
Henry Shivler was born in Switzerland in 1755. His German birth name was Heinrich Schaublin. He was the oldest child of Heinrich Schaublin and his wife Anna Barbara Deck. Henry grew up in the small village of Benken, Switzerland, not far from the city of Basel. Benken is the village where his mother Anna Barbara Deck was born on February 15, 1727/28(1). As well, his maternal grandparents were born in the same village. Anton Deck was born in Benken on May 3, 1691. Ursula Stehli, the mother of Anna Barbaraa Deck, was born in Benken on November 12, 1699, the daughter of Hans Stehli and Catharina Heyer. The church records of the Evangelical Church in Benken, Switzerland contain the records of the above births, as well as the births and baptisms of Henry Shivler’s brother and sisters. Henry Shivler’s birth record is not found in the church records.(5)
In 1772, Heinrich Schaublin the elder decided to move his family from Europe to the British colonies in North America. He applied to the officials of Base-stat for moving expenses. The record indicates the names and ages of Heinrich and Anna Barbara Schaublin and their 7 children. Heinrich the father was aged 54, and Hienrich the son was aged 17. The record also indicates that Heinrich Schaublin was a very poor shoemaker, and had no other money for travel expenses (6). The Schaublin family left Switzerland, probably traveling by boat down the Rhine River to the port city of Rotterdam. From there, they boarded a British sailing vessel name The Minerva. The ship landed at the City of Philadelphia on September 1772. The list of passengers who took the Oath of Allegiance includes Heinrich Schaublin, the father (7). After this date, the residence of the Schaublin family is unknown, until Henry Shivler appears in Gloucester County, New Jersey.
The name of Henry Shivler appears on the muster rolls for the Gloucester County militia during the Revolutionary War. In 1780, the Gloucester County militia was called out to support the regular Continental troops commanded by General George Washington. Ensign Charles West called on Sergeant Henry Shivler to summon the troops to meet at Haddonfied, NJ on September 1. A footnote in the records indicate that Henry Shivler was foreign born. (8) From Haddonfield, the militia marched to Monmouth, NJ. The militia records do not contain further detail whether this excursion resulted in any encounters with British troops The name of Henry Shivler also appears as a witness to the will for Cuffy Thorn of Deptford Township in Gloucester Count, dated October 6, 1792, William Huffman also appears as a witness on the same documents, and it is uncertain whether he was related to Mirabe, Henry’s wife.
Tax lists wer compiled during the Revolutionary War for the counties and townships in New Jersey. Henry Shivler first appears a s a single man in the May 1780 tax list for Deptford Township, Gloucester County. In the Deptford tax list for 1784, Henry Shivler is listed as a householder. The 3 person in residence are Henry, his wife Mirabe, and infant son Joseph. From June 1795 to 1802, Henry Shivler appears as a householder in Gloucester Town (now Gloucester City, NJ) with 2 horses, and as many as 7 cattle. The list of 1796 shows that Henry owed 25 acres of land. The June 1802 tx list for Gloucester Town still lists Henry Shivler as an owner of property, but not as a householder (9). This is probably and indication the Henry and his family move to Swedesboro, NJ about this time.
The marriage of Henry Shivler and Mirabe Hoffman took place in Swedesboro at the Trinity Episcopal Church in 1783. After the family moved to Swedesboro, the family continued a connection with the church, but none of the children were baptized there. Son Joseph was married at Trinity in1806, as was daughter Mary in 1807 and for Mirabe in 1851, so it appears that they were buried in the new Trinity Cemetery, although there are no gravestones to mark the burial locations. Son Charles Shivler and his wife were buried in the new Trinity Cemetery, as was daughter Sara Madara and her husband (3).
Henry Shivler left no will when he died in 1821. An inventory made on May 12, 1821 valued his personal propter at $191.75. It included clothes, furniture, farming tools, livestock, a sorrel mare worth $40.00 and some books in Dutch worth $0.50. Appraisers of this estate were Thomas Wilkins and Samuel Black. A neighbor, Charles C. Straton, was named as administrator of the estate. Charles C. Stratton later become the first elected governor of New Jersey (10). The farm Henry owned of 57 acres in Woolwich Township was divided among his 4 surviving sons, Joseph, Charles, Samuel, and Henry (11).
