Roster of the People of Revolutionary Monmouth County (New Jersey)
Author: Michael S. Adelberg
language: en
Publisher: Genealogical Publishing Com
Release Date: 1997
This remarkable book is nothing less than an alphabetical listing of nearly the entire adult male (and some of the female) population of Monmouth County during the American Revolution--some 6,000 Monmouth Countians between 1776 and 1783. For roughly half of the persons listed, we find one or two identifying pieces of information, such as militia service, date of death, signer of a petition, conviction of a misdemeanor, occupation, and so on. But in an equal number of cases we are presented with enough information to trace the allegiance or comings and goings of a Monmouth County resident over a number of years (e.g., Abiel Aiken: militia volunteer, 1776; signer of petition, 1777; coroner, 1778; justice of the peace, 1780-83; leased horses to Continental Army, 1781; and so on).

Wrestling and Wrestlers by Jacob Robinson and Sidney Gilpin (2025 edition) is a richly layered chronicle of Northern England’s wrestling heritage, spanning from ancient Grecian roots to the rugged contests of Cumberland and Westmorland. Beginning with a comparative historical overview, the book explores ancient Grecian wrestling before delving into local traditions—specifically Melmerby and Langwathby rounds. It then transitions into vivid biographical sketches of legendary figures: James Fawcett, William Richardson, William Litt, the Dixon brothers, the Longs, Tom Nicholson, William Mackereth, Harry Graham, James Scott, Robert Rowantree, William Dickinson, George Dennison, James Robinson, Thomas Richardson, Tom Todd, William Wilson, John Weightman, and John McLaughlan. Each profile captures the wrestler’s distinctive style, key bouts, and regional reputation. The volume concludes with historical insights into England’s discontinued blood sports—bull baiting and badger baiting—alongside an addenda section that enriches and completes the narrative framework. This repository of primary regional knowledge, oral histories, and cultural analysis offers a layered perspective on both wrestling and Victorian-era sport culture.
