      2. “A Longstreet Family History,” by Rupert James Longstreet (DeLand, Fla., 1960), available on FHL film 2056005 item 3 or online at :
      “GISBERT (Variously spelled Guysbrecht, Gysbrecht, Guisbert, and finally Gilbert), b. ca. 1707, bp. 11-26-1710 (Old Brick Church), m. Rachel Schenck, dau. of Garret Reolofse and Neeltje Coerten (Van Vorhees) Schenck (The Rev. William Schenck: His Ancestors and His Descendants, By A.D. Schenck, 40). He was a resident of Shrewsbury Tp, in 'Squan, and is probably the Gllllytsbrecht Longstreet who was appointed a Justice in Monmouth County on 6-6-1751, and on 3-16-1756 (New Jersey Archives, 22:242). His will (#2301M), dated 4-20-1755, proved 11-8-1758, refers to his wife Rachel, sons Garret and Gilbert (minors), and to daughters Moyca, Molley, Jane and Rachel. The order of birth is not known:
      -Garret -Gisbert -Moyca -Nelle -Jane -Rachel -Elizabeth”

      2. “A Longstreet Family History,” by Rupert James Longstreet (DeLand, Fla., 1960), available on FHL film 2056005 item 3 or online at :
      “GARRETT LONGSTREET. Evidence that ... Garret was the son of ... Gisbert is found in an indenture dated 11-13-1793 between Richard, Garret and Gisbert Longstreet on the one side and John Polon on the other, all of Shrewsbury Tp. referring to a piece of "meadow given in the last will and testament of the present grantors' grandfather Theophilus Longstreet to his two sons as joint pardners Dereck Longstreet and Gisbert Longstreet, and from them the said Dereck Longstreet and Gisbert Longstreet, with more, was bequeathed to us". (This indenture is in the possession of Miss Martha Poland, Manasquan, NJ.) See also will #1001M of Theophilus in which he devised jointly to "Derrick and Gisbut" the plantation on the north side of the Manasquan River. In his will (Bk 8, p.123) dated 7-26-1818, Garret describes himself as "of Howell", the name of the new Tp in which Manasquan was located, and he names the three sons referred to below. The inventory of his estate was made 8-1-1818 (Bk E, p.134). There is a cem. inscr. at Brielle which reads "Lydia, wife of Garret Longstreet, d. 8-13-1812 aged 69.3.19". This would be the Lydia Barraclow whom Garret m. 12-16-1802 (Mar. B,. A, p.71), apparently a second wife in his old age. There are two other marriage records, either or both of which may be Garret's; the mar. lic. of 12-27-1763 to Catherine Smock (DAR Lin. Bk. 103, p.259) and to Catherine Lawrence 5-9-1761 (NJ Archives 22:243). The Shrewsbury Ratables list Garret from 1779 to 1794. He is probably the Garret appointed to the Committte of Observation in Shrewsbury 5-27-1775 (Misc.12, 10:600). According to DAR application papers, he was a "judge in the inferior court of common pleas" in 1814, and a captain of the militia in 1776. But the date of birth in the DAR papers (1750) seems to be in error. His children were:
      -Gisbert b. 1770 (DAR lin. supra) -Barnes -Hendrick”
