I did notice that the Monmouth Historical Society has the actual records in their resource library. They only require making advanced reservations to access their collection. As this is the nexus of my spouse's family lines (Applegate, Parker, Stillwell, Throckmorton, Stout, Tilton, Grover, among many others), I will be making that reservation as soon as I finish harvesting the information available at the Ocean County Historical Society, which also has family files for most of these people. I will be untangling this mess very slowly, as once again, old "world trees" have obscured the lines in this family lineage.
