"Dedicated to the memory of the early Hunterdon settlers."

John Reading's Diary
David R. Reading (editor)
220 pages, Hardcover.


The diary contains daily entries by Gov. John Reading from 1747 until the day before his death on November 5, 1767. There are extensive footnotes and a full index with over 1,500 names of Hunterdon County, New Jersey residents. The original transcriptions were done by Dorothy A. Stratford in the late 1980's for the Genealogical Society of New Jersey's magazine. The GSNJ published only the first ten years, but this book brings together all the years in a single publication. The year 1753 which is held by the Hunterdon County Historical Society is also included.
