Hi Christy, You wrote: > > I assume Gitty and Edward are buried in the Preakness Reformed Church > burial grounds per your information. I'm sorry, but you cannot make that assumption, and the book was silent on that. Edward Hedden died before 1850 but his date of death is not mentioned in the book. Gitty died in 1914 (per your records), but I have no information on her burial location. By 1920, Joseph V. Ash and family were living in Monclair Twp, but I don't know if Gitty died in Newark or Montclair. > One question- you mentioned Tichenor as a surname. I have lots of > Whritenors, are they the same?

Tichenor is indeed a surname; there were 40 Heads of Household in Essex County, NJ in the 1860 census, and 45 Heads of Household in the 1870 census. There were far less Whritenors in the area (mostly Passaic County). I would not say they were the same. 1920 > NEW JERSEY > ESSEX > 2-WD; MONTCLAIR Series: T625 Roll: 1030 Page: 83 Walter Ash, Head, age 52, Contractor, Electric Mary S.[or L.] Ash, Wife, age 48 Adelaide V.

Hi Pam, Thank you for your prompt reply. I appreciate all of your input. In my excitement over all of your information I replied off the cuff regarding the 1920 census. A few years ago I printed out, from Ancestry.com, the easy to read version of the 1920 census with Martin's last name transcribed as Thritnor but I now recall when I checked the original it was correctly written as Whritenor. I rechecked my records this morning as well. Point well taken, I will be more careful in my postings--don't want to mislead anyone. Thank you.
