Governor Fort Traced to Quaker Forebears in Pemberton
A long portrait of the Fort family roots in Pemberton NJ links Governor George Fort to Roger Fort, a 17th century Quaker pioneer. The piece notes the governor’s boyhood ties to the old Sessoms farm, family service in New Jersey politics, and ties to the Methodist church through Rev. Andrew Fort. It mentions the Kent voyage of 1677, the crown grant to Fort, and the family’s longhold on the Burlington tract.
