2 Thomas was listed in several sources as the original owner of the Toms River sawmill built between 1735 and 1740 that was burned by the British during the Revolutionary War. This is based upon a survey authorized by Thomas Everingham October 9, 1753 describing a piece of land between Pangburns Mill and Elisha Lawrence's Mill.
3 Thomas was described in the Records of Estrays, Monmouth County on Nov 23, 1737, Dec 20, 1737 and 1769 as the owner of a Plantation in Upper Freehold NJ. Others listed on the same page: Jacob Lain, Mebitabel(sp?) Lawrence, John Vaughn, Robert Mantgoe(?), Richard Horsfield, Jermiah Stilwil(?), Moses Robin Juner, John Lawrence, Richard Britton

"Thomas Everingham and Henry Everingham were among tax payers in Upper Freehold, 1731, and William and Joseph Everingham in 1758. In what is now Ocean county, Everingham's saw mill on North branch of Toms River or Pine Brook is frequently referred to. In the Revolutionary war among soldiers from Monmouth were John, Nathaniel and Thomas Everingham.... (pg.100) Among the sawmills first erected in Ocean county may be mentioned the following; Everingham's sawmill, north branch Toms River, 1750."
1738 New Jersey Calendar of Wills (1730-1750), Page (269)... "July 3, 1738 David Johnston of Upper Freehold, Monmouth, will of. Wife, Mary.

1740 From the book "Inventory of the county archives of New Jersey", by New Jersey Historical records survey project, Newark, NJ 1940.. "(Page 12) With the increasing demand for lumber, sawmills became numerous in the 1740's throughout Ocean County. Among the earliest mills; Everingham's, on the north branch of the Toms River in 1740." the footnote on this information is from Monmouth and Ocean County, Pg.100, by Salter.
1746 New Jersey Colonial Documents (Page 258) Ref; estate of William Imlay..."April 10, 1741, Administrators Rebecca Imlay, the widow and Peter Imlay of Mansfield, Burlington County, Esquire.

1750 New Jersey Land Records, May 29, 1750.. "TO: David Lyell (Heirs or Assignees of) FROM: SURVEY. 2.5 acres. Dry Cedar Swamp; Monmouth County. On the road from Captain Jeremiah Stilwells to Thomas Everinghams Saw Mill. Jacob Lawrence Claims Right by Virtue of a Deed from Catherine Lyell Widow and Catherine Lyell Spinster to John Lawrence for 100 acres of Pine Land in part of said Warrant dated 22 May 1747, and recorded in Liber A3, 224, and by virtue of a Deed from the said John Lawrence to said Jacob Lawrence for 100 acres in full of his said Deed dated 1 May 1749 and Recorded in Liber AB2, 398,.
OTHERS NAMED: James Alexander (Surveyor General) (Signatory); Thomas Everingham (Thomas Everinghams Saw Mill); Jacob Lawrence (Survey at the request of); John Lawrence (Deputy Surveyor); Catherine Lyell (Widow of David Lyell); Anne Ried (Owner of adjoining land; where Anne Ried intends to build her house); Jeremiah Stilwell (Captain) (On the road from Stilwells)"
The same Everingham Sawmill or an later one? Because of the connection of this Thomas to the Everingham sawmill, it is very likely that Henry Everingham, born in the 1760's, the Smith & Wheelwright from NJ, is also connected with the sawmill and a probable grandson of Thomas.
Was this the same Thomas who had debt issues in 1771? See the court of common pleas record.
