Excerpt from Woodbridge and Vicinity: The Story of a New Jersey Township; Embracing the History of Woodbridge, Piscataway, Metuchen and Contiguous Places, From the Earliest Times But it would be a tedious task to indicate, in this place, the many sources. Whence we have derived the material of our his tory. Reference will be made to them by foot notes. For valuable aid afforded, I am much indebted to William A. Whitehead, the eminent New Jersey historian; to Abel V. Shotwell, of Rahway; to T. H. Morris, Jeremiah Dally, Dr. E. B. Freeman, and many others, to whom due credit has been given. The first three chapters of this volume, as will be observed, are introductory in character - intended to give a general View of the early settlement. The subsequent chapters will be more satisfactory to the majority of our readers, because they enter more minutely to the history of the town.
