 | | The new governing body of Ocean County conducted their organizational meeting on May 8, 1850, in the Tavern of Thomas P. Barkalow, located on the corner of Main and Water Streets in Toms River. |
 | | The County Freeholders' seal was a sloop, the County Clerk's seal was a schooner and the Surrogate's seal was a steam boat. |
