• Notes

  Camden County was formed on March 13, 1844, from portions of Gloucester County. Waterford Township was originally created by Royal charter on June 1, 1695, while the area was still part of Gloucester County. On March 13, 1844, Waterford Township became one of the original townships in the newly-created Camden County. ---- The Ancestry database "U.S., Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935" at for New Jersey - Camden - Newton Preparative Meeting - Register of Interments, 1813-1885 has the following entries 3 Nov 1822 Parker, Ellis' child 8 Jan 1826 Ellis Parke (assumed to be Parker) 11 Jan 1846 Sarah Parker 26 Jun 1862 Howard Parker I have assumed the Ellis Parker that died 8 Jan 1826 is the cirrect person based on circumstancial evidence that Sarah was his wife and Howard was their son. It seems likely he was buried in either Old Camden Cemetery (Also known as Friends New Newton Burial Ground, New Newton Meeting Burial Ground, Quaker New Newton Burial Ground) Find-a-Grave https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/100151/old-camden-cemetery or Newton Burying Ground (Also known as Newton Union Sloan Cemetery, Old Newton Friends Burial Ground ) https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/1275992/newton-burying-ground I could not find him in either and also note it's possible these two cemeteries are actually the same cemetery. --- Saved for reference: at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-9880-28836-61?cc=1803976&wc=MMVF-D4W:1105263986 is a 03 Oct 1804 marriage in Gloucester Co. of Elisha Parker and Mary McDowell. --- From http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/njglouce/2003-01/1041458896 Military Census of 1793/94 ~ Gloucester, Camden and Atlantic Counties, New Jersey New Jersey Legislature, on 30 NOV 1792, passed a new militia law.
