Thomas and Samuel McPherson seem to have arrived in Hunterdon County at about the same time, in the mid 18th century. It is quite likely they were related, but I found no proof, and am therefore playing it safe and publishing their trees separately here. Thomas’ family comes after Samuel’s.

The William/Jannette Anderson Tree
This tree has been compiled to accompany my article on the Anderson tavern at Cherryville (“James Anderson’s Tavern”). It seems to have more holes than my usual trees. I had hoped to publish another Anderson Tree in conjunction with this one, for an entirely different Anderson family—the one connected with John Anderson, who ran a tavern near Ringoes (“Anderson’s Tavern”). But that one has even more holes in it and is not ready for publication.
Tomlinson Family Tree
First Generation:
(1) Thomas Tomlinson (~1690 – ) & Joan Walsley
It is thought that the Tomlinsons came to Kingwood Township in Hunterdon County from Byberry in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
