Does anyone have a map or a document defining the boundries os Bridgewater Township in Somerset County during the Revolutionary period? One of my ancestors and his brother lived in the townshp during that period of time.
Thank you for any information.

I'm working on finding a map. In the meantime I hope this helps:

In the early years, Bridgewater was known as a farming town, until around the 1970s when its population began to grow, and is now a more typical suburban town. What are now the boroughs of Somerville, Raritan and Bound Brook were once part of Bridgewater Township until they broke away years after the original chartering. Portions of Warren and Branchburg Townships also were originally part of Bridgewater Township.

Thank you so very much for the maps of the area!
I have tried to get an understanding of the area due to my 3rd great grandfather Barnet Smock having been listed as one of the men in Capt. Jacob Ten Eck's Bridgewater Militia during the Revolution. Other family names associated with my Smocks were also found in the list of soldiers so I am confident in the fact Barnet listed as Barrant is the right person! I have been trying to piece together some of his history. Another interesting thing is his brother Abraham is shown in the list as having deserted. Abraham wound up in Ohio and Barnet in Westmoreland and Washington Co.s, Pennsylvania.
I very much appreciate your help.
