The area around Woodbridge was known for its "easily accessible sedimentary clay that produced fire brick capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures" making them much in demand as building materials. A number of brick factories were located in this area. Rahway on the Rahway River allowed for easy access to the markets of New York City and Brooklyn. These accounts are an example of that early trade. see: Virginia Troeger's "Woodbridge: New Jersey's Oldest Township" Arcadia Pub.: 2002 for further record <br/>The extended members of the Marsh family who settled in Rahway included John Marsh who built a saw mill and grist mill along the river in the early 1700s and died at his home at Trembly Point on the Rahway River in 1744. <br/>Capt. Jacob Marsh who kept these accounts is likely a member of this extended family. Presumably he is Jacob Marsh 1797-1832 son of John 1772-1830 and Mary Hendricks Marsh. Jacob married Mary Ann Coddington 1802-1877 in 1819. There is a small receipt pinned into the front of this ledger dated May 8 1843 recording that Mary Ann Marsh received $6.51 "in full of all demand up to this date for John Trembly." <br/><br/> hardcover books
