Joseph Bloomfield (1753–1823), who was born in Woodbridge, N.J., studied law under Attorney General Cortlandt Skinner and was admitted to the bar in 1774. The following year he was commissioned a lieutenant in the New Jersey Light Infantry. Bloomfield became a captain in the 3d New Jersey Regiment in February 1776, and he was promoted to major in November 1776. He served as deputy judge advocate general of the Continental army from 1776 until his resignation in October 1778. Bloomfield fought at the battles of Brandywine and Monmouth, and he was wounded at Brandywine. He was elected state attorney general of New Jersey in 1783 and reelected in 1788. After changing his politics to Jeffersonian republicanism, Bloomfield served as governor of New Jersey 1801–12 and as a member of Congress 1817–21.
