I've been trying to find the origin of the two branches of Cards that
settled in New Jersey in the mid 1700s. My line comes from Peter Card
who settled in the northern part of the state. He and his wife Sarah had
the following children, and probably others:
i. Henry (1765-1833)
ii. Peter (1768-1818)
iii. Catherine (~1770-~1840)
iv. John (1775-)
v. Stephen (1777-1867)
vi. Rachel (ca1780->1840)
The other branch of NJ Cards settled in and around Monmouth County, and
originated with Andrew Card b. ca 1740s - d. ca 1830s. He had a son,
Thomas who married Mary "Sarah" Sutton. I'm curious about Edward Shannon
Card who appears briefly in Monmouth County - wondering if there could
be a connection between these families.
I'd be interested in anything relating to these two families, and am
happy to share what I have on them.
