Notes on Elizabeth Griscom: School she attended is believed to be the one just west of the Hall and marked by brick wall. If correct, she was there prior to the Hall's construction. In the basement of the Gloucester County Historical Society, in Woodbury, NJ, is the brick fireplace removed from Hugg's Tavern. This is the fireplace before which she and John Ross stood for their marriage. The tavern was demolished in the course of making a park and small marina along the waterfront, at the southern end of Gloucester City.

Married in 1737, by 1749 it was reported to the Philadelphia Meeting that for some time past he had been keeping "loose and idle company to the neglecting of his business" and had "left his wife & family in a clandestine manner being involved in debt." Failure to reform in spite of repeated exhortations to mend his ways, finally led to the Meeting to testify against him, and a copy of the minute of disownment was sent to Duck Creek Meeting in Kent County where he was reported to be. It is of interest to note that his Library Company share, which he had held since 1736 -- before his marriage -- was transferred to the carpenter Benjamin Loxley just three months before the disownment proceedings were begun. He died down in Kent County in 1751, leaving a nun-cupative will, apparently unrepentant.
