I As obtained from court records, official papers, and sheriffs 1 bonds.

{S Barefoot Brunson lived in Somerset, on Millstone River, opposite
Kingston, and was sheriff of Somorset about 1720-30,— the exact years
not ascertained. Ho waB a man of some notoriety atid somewhat peculiar
in his ways. Ho died in 1749.

|| The name of John Piatt appears in the records of tlio justices and
freeholders' annual meeting, May 1, 1732. The name of the county is
omitted, evidently a clerical error. This is the only cluo that haB been
obtained indicating that he was sheriff of this county. That ho was a
resident of Somerset is provon by tlio fact that his name appears as a
comml. doner of highways in 1742, in the old book of record of roads,
in the clerk's office, and the oldest inhabitants remember Ids son, who
said his father livid at Bound Brook.

If Abram Tan Doron was sheriff of the county for twenty years, but
when first elected or appointed i» not known,— probably about 1750.
