Shepard Kollock (1750-1839) was one of New Jersey's earliest printers and editors; his press was located in Elizabethtown. He founded the New Jersey Journal, New Jersey's third newspaper, in 1779 (it continued to be printed, later as the Elizabeth Daily Journal, for 212 years). He learned his trade in Philadelphia but had to relocate to the West Indies for his health and continued to print there. When news of Lexington and Concord reached him, he returned to New Jersey, joinging the Continental Army as a Lieutenant (he saw action in the Battle of Trenton, and other engagements). Resigning his commission in 1779, he was urged by the Continental Congress to start a newspaper (the aforementioned New Jersey Journal). Located in Chatham, it was an extremely important orgas as Kollock received news directly from Washington's headquarters located just a few miles away in Morristown. After the war, the paper, renamed the Elizabeth Daily Journal, editorialized in favor of Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. Kollock printings are highly sought after by collectors.
