New Jersey Mirror Newspaper:
Nathan Palmer began publishing the "Burlington Mirror" in 1818 in Mount Holly, the county seat for Burlington County, New Jersey, as a weekly newspaper focusing on business and real estate concerns of the county. The newspaper quickly expanded coverage to include news, commentary and social events. Over its 130 years of publication, "Burlington Mirror", later known as "New Jersey Mirror", recorded the history of Burlington County in detail. Of note are the marriage and death notices from 1818-1848 (before NJ began recording vital statistics), excellent coverage of the Civil War (especially the Burlington County Regiment), detailed legislative and agricultural news, and local news from individual townships. LITTLE EGG HARBOR WAS A PART OF BURLINGTON COUNTY UNTIL 3/30/1891. Type in "Tuckerton" or "New Gretna" or a family name such as "Gifford", "Mathis", or "Parker" and see what news items you come up with.
