You have a picture of the page? Where is it so I can read it

And another update, a cousin on this bloodline went out to Batsto all day and searched the Methodist Episcopal Cemetery and the only Garoutte headstone that was legible was his grandsons headstone Joseph Garoutte. She is making another trip back there soon to take another look and she suggested...

I was told there is some more information about Garoutte in this book on page number 195 https://www.abebooks.com/Heart-Pines-Ghostly-Voices-Pine-Barrens/7854509380/bd If anyone has access to this book can I get a picture of the page number please. I would like to see what it says and put it...

Thank you!

Where can I get the tavern licenses? Are they online? Edit: Because I just found this: http://njahgp.genealogyvillage.com/inn-tavern-licenses-gloucester-county-new-jersey.html But it looks incomplete and I don't see a Garoutte there.

I'm not sure how to go about finding out. Records from this time period are hard to find. If memory serves they had to reconstruct the 1790 census because all the records got wet. And I think you had to be a landowner to make it onto earlier decades of census. So if the information is not in...

I don't have any documents to prove it. I only have the logic. I strongly feel that's the case because it makes sense, but I could be completely wrong about that! The book does say James Smith was a Quaker and a Innkeeper. Where they got that information I'm not sure because there is no source...

Sevier family history says he was ambushed in an inn by little egg harbor after battle of chestnut neck. Garoutte history then says james smith picked him up in his wagon then on 28 october he marries the daughter of his rescuer. The book says james smith was an inn keeper. Obviously garoutte...

I deduced the Inn was originally James Smith Inn because he took Garoutte back to his Inn after finding him and they all lived in the Pleasant Mills area.

I don't think the author will mind he is my kin.

The more facts I find on this guy I am just amazed. Especially about the fact that his nephew was a General in Napoleon Bonaparte's Army and then Napoleon's older Brother Joseph Bonaparte came and lived practically right down the road from Garoutte in 1812/1815ish. Edit: his nephew was a...

In the Iron in the Pines page 204 it says Garoutte stage line went from Camden back to his tavern for overnight lodging. Well if his tavern really was in pleasant mills isn't that about an 18 - 20 mile ride by carriage? Would that be logical for that time..? To travel at 7:00 a.m. by carriage to...

I'm back. This is all I have on the Smith side.

Well I was right because you guys were right! Thank you so much for the picture. Why is that deed book lined? It looks new or something. What should I put down as a reference. Where is that book located? Edit: nevermind I see on the page it says it is from Deede Book A3 of Gloucester County...

The 1825 document proves that there was a Tavern on the road from Pleasant Mills to Indian Cabin that was named The La Fayette. That with the entry in the book Iron in the Pines that details Garoutte's Stage Line Route and his route stopping back at his Tavern and Inn on the Pleasant Mills Tract...

Did you get a picture?

No way! I was right!

Probably his son Michael Garoutte Junior.

Lol you're a funny dude! I like you bro!

Lol I just had a brilliant idea! I had planned on having a portrait of Garoutte painted with him and his ships and another one with him in his tavern maybe smoking a pipe and wearing colonial clothing. Now after researching The Jersey Devil I think I will have The Jersey Devil painted into the...
