Most of mine were the Dutch from LI that moved in to NJ before 1700. They married with the Scots and English. Jackson, Polhemus, Longsteet, Lane, Smith, Woolley, Allen, Drummond, Brown, McDowell, Lambert, Lamberson, Seabrook, Dennis, Leeds, Knott, Monfort and a few others I don't remember off the top of my head.
My second cousin married a Ford whose family was from Kentucky, and my kid married a Jones and divorced.

I also had Dutch from LI who moved in to NJ, plus Huguenots as well. I know that the LEEDS and DENNIS families ended up all over South Jersey.
Cyanna, I just noticed that you mentioned the name Scull.
I found a possible link in my tree to Mr. John Scull from Absecon, Great Egg Harbor area, in the mid-1700s. At the time, this was still Gloucester County, NJ.
According to what I found, John Scull's granddaughter, Deborah Ireland, married a Nehemiah Nicholson in 1737. Then Nehemiah re-married in 1739. I found a newspaper article from 1738 saying that Deborah died while out on a canoe in the ocean in a storm, along with two children (not hers). Separately, I found a mention of John Scull's will, and Nehemiah Nicholson being one of the people who was to inventory his estate.
I'm still trying to connect this Nehemiah Nicholson to my Nehemiah Nicholson who was born in 1800. I'm thinking it's a grandson, but I'm stuck. But he must have been named after someone (who looks at a little baby and just pulls "Nehemiah" out of their butt?)
If you'd like links to the newspaper article on Deborah or the Scull will, let me know via PM or via your Yahoo group.

Yes, I dewscend from the SCULL and IRELAND lines
My g-g-g-g-g-grandfather on my father's side was Gideon SCULL, and his brother Abel SCULL is my g-g-g-g-g-g-grandfather on my mother's side.
Daniel IRELAND is my g-g-g-g-g-g-g-grandfather on my father's side.
I'll go through my SCULL info. Also, post this at my group site. There are two SCULL family experts in the group and we even managed to save one of the family Bibles when it was auctioned on Ebay
We might be related by marriage (if I can establish my connection to Nehemiah).
