Research Notes:
The notes above report residences in Mercer County and in Monmouth County in New Jersey, but the names suggest they some refer to the same Augustus Ivins. We seek clarification about the residence of Augustus Ivins, son of James Ivins. The names of residence changed perhaps because township and county names changed during this period. Millstone, Monmouth County is adjacent to East Windsor, Mercer County.
