- Retrospective on the Lives of "Friends" in New Jersey. Ref: Thomas Pile/Pyle.
- The 1st story in this clip shows the founding, fortune & the future (@ least as seen in the 20th century) of the Society of Friends, aka. the: "Quakers," in what was once known as "West Jersey," or "Fenwick's Colony." I focus on Thomas Pile (Pyle) & he is in our lineage. Depending on which author I cite, both spellings are used. Note: Thomas, may or may 'not,' be related to Robert & relations of PA fame. Claims have been made, but I tend to the latter of such conclusions. Great area for research though.

Tips for a Successful Woodstown, New Jersey, Marriage License Search
Trying to search through 330 years of U.S. history to find a specific ancestor is never easy. Mistakes happened, and high levels of illiteracy meant information may have been taken down incorrectly.
For example, it wasn’t uncommon for people to have been unaware of how to spell their last names, so “Berry” may have been spelled as “Bury” instead. This was especially common when it came to family surnames of foreign origin.
If you’re having trouble finding the right Woodstown, New Jersey, marriage records, use these tips during your search:
- Use the bride’s maiden name to find female ancestors.
- Change the order of first and middle names. Unofficial name changes weren’t illegal and were often done during a person’s adult life.
- Look into church newsletters and bulletins for marriage announcements.
- Military records also served as marriage records, such as pension applications.
Remember, auditing wasn’t common practice in the past, so it wasn’t uncommon for a clerk to orally take down information correctly. Only in recent times have standards for recordkeeping improved.
Whenever you find Woodstown, New Jersey, marriage license records, make sure you double-check them against other records to ensure you have the right person.
