Note: Official records have not been located for this person. She is known through family records and through the occasional found record but so far have been unable to find solid sources, with the exception of a mention in the book "The Lundy Family and Their Descendants of Whatsoever Surname." It can be seen here, and states "The home of James and Elsie (Smalley) Shotwell was on the road leading from Allamuchy to Long Bridge. Their stone dwelling-house bears the date 1770; it stands near the creamery and is in good repair. It was afterward owned by their son Jonathan and subsequently by Jonathan's daughter Emelissa, and now by Mr. J.C. Runyon."^[3]
