"During the six-year Revolutionary war, more of the fights took place in New Jersey than any other colony. Over 296 engagements between opposing forces were recorded. One of the largest conflicts of the entire war took place between Morristown and Middlebrook, referred to as the ""Ten Crucial Days"" and remembered by the famous phrase ""the times that try men's souls"". The revolution won some of their most desperately needed victories during this time."
Name Meaning
From the name of the region and county in Northern Ireland, in Gaelic Aontraim. This is probably derived from Gaelic aon ‘one’ + treabh ‘house’, and so referred originally to a single isolated dwelling that subsequently became the centre of a village and then of a town, which in turn gave its name to the county. The given name has occasionally been chosen by parents who have an association with this region.
