      d. "The Quiet Rebels, the Story of the Quakers in America," Margaret H. Bacon,
         1969; public library, Wilmington, NC.  West Jersey was purchased by two   
         Quakers in 1674.  In 1675 a group of Quakers on board the Griffin founded a
         colony at Salem.  In 1677 a group of Quakers on board the Kent founded a  
         colony at Burlington.  By 1679, 800 Quakers had arrived and by 1681 there 
         were 1400 Quakers in the province.
      e. "Colonial New Jersey, A History," John E. Pomfret, 1973; public library,  
         Wilmington, NC.  Quakers left New England for Long Island due to religious
         persecution.  By 1659 there were regular meetings at Oyster Bay.  In April
         1665, the Navesink Patent in New Jersey was granted to Quakers and Baptists
         from Gravesend, Long Island, previously Rhode Island and Massachusetts.   
         Villages of Middletowns and Shrewsbury were founded.  When the Dutch took 
         New Jersey from 1673 to 1674, an oath of loyalty provides a census of East
         New Jersey in 1673.  During the summer of 1675, Fenwick signed articles of
         agreement with about 30 adventurers.  Those who purchased 1000 acres of   
         land were called proprietors.  He offered headrights of 100 acres to      
         families at a quitrent of 1d per acre.  Indentured servants were welcome. 
         These settlers were London Quakers who were shopkeepers and artisans.  The
         Griffin with about 100 passengers arrived on Salem Creek on 11-23-1675 and
         founded Salem, the first permanent English settlement in West Jersey.  The
         majority of West Jersey propriety purchasers were Quakers - small         
         merchants, merchant craftsmen, or shopkeepers with some fluid capital.  One
         could invest in a fraction of a share - 1/7 share at 50 pounds was common. 
         Of 120 individual purchasers, 17 were Irishmen, actually English Quakers  
         who moved to Dublin, and three were Scots.  The English purchasers were   
         "South Country" people from London and Middlesex, Northhampton, Hertford, 
         and Leicester; or "North Country" people from York, Nottingham, and Derby. 
         For list see Pomfret's "The Province of West New Jersey," 1956.  In the   
         Kent, 270 Yorkshire and London passengers arrived and settled Burlington in
         1677.  Other ships arrived and by 1681 a total of 1400 Quakers had        
         immigrated to West Jersey.  In the Spring of 1682 a group of Quakers from 
         Ireland settled on Newton Creek south of Burlington.
