Misc. Notes
In a copy of the English Bible, brought from Amsterdam, in 1715, there is a family record of the Bloomfields, copied from an older record, by Dr. Moses Bloomfield, father of Gov. Joseph Bloomfield, of New Jersey. The History is given in the language of the original for several generations.
