<[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected] > My paternal grandfather Lafayette William Jackson of West Virginia, > apparently Scotch-Irish descent, claimed relationship to Scotch is a liquor! Scot or Scottish is an ethnic group. The term Scotch-Irish appears mainly in America. Typically they are not people of mixed Scot and Irish lineage. But they are Ulster Scots. This group is said to be Scots (mostly Presbyterian) who moved from Scotland to Ireland, then on to Philadelphia were they did not fit in with the English (mostly Church of England) and the Quakers did not take kindly to the goings on between the English and Scots against the Irish. So they moved on to Central PA and then down the Valley of VA where they assimilated into the local population. http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/lesson21.htm Robert > Confederate General Thomas Jonathan 'Stonewall' Jackson. > > Anyone have genealogy information about ancestors of 'Stonewall'? > > [email protected]

I included the comment about "aspiring writer" because on another forum, where I placed a similar request for information, a reader absolutely trashed me, claiming that I was not a legitimate journalist and, if I was, I was asking other people to do my work for me ala Jason Blair. Unfortunately, that reader didn't comprehend that conducting personal interviews is a small, but essential, part of a quality research project. Yes, I was once an aspiring writer. Now, 25 years later, I am sometimes an inspiring writer, sometimes a perspiring writer, and, on the most overworked days, like today, I feel like I'm a soon to be expiring writer. Your information is excellent. Much thanks. Morven is on my long list of research topics - but initially for a different reason. I'm trying to solve a horse-racing related mystery involving Richard Stockton's descendent, Commodore Robert Stockton. Thank you for the link. I will add you to my list of contacts and people to be credited should I meet with success in this endeavor. Thanks again, and if there's any topic you are researching on which you think I may be of some help (newspaper people tend to know a little about a lot), please, just ask.

If you are tracing your >ancestry and come up with info that a grandparent, or >great-grandparent worked at a track or was a horse-racing fan and you Not a relative, and I'm not sure if they would have been considered what we call thoroughbreds today-- but at least 2 of the NJ Signers of the Declaration of Independence were horse fanciers. John Hart's horse, Northumberland, gets high praise in many John Hart biographies. The mare 'Bulle Rock' is mentioned in Hammond's biography of the Signer. Hammond prints this excerpt from the Pennsylvania Chronicle in 1773; "To Cover this Season, the Famous Grey Horse, NORTHUMBERLAND (Commonly called the IRISH HORSE) At Forty-five Shilling the Season, and Twenty-two and Six-pence the single leap, Money to be paid before the Mares are taken away, or Three Pounds, to wait one Year; He is full Fifteen Hands Two Inches high, free from all Blemishes, and is allowed by all judges, to be the best made Horse ever imported; he was bred by Lord Mazarine, and got by the famous horse, BUSTARD, out of Daughter of OLD CRAB, Grand Dam by OLD BABRAM; he is a Brother to FREEMASON, and Lord Mont Eagle's famous Horse BOTTOM, who kept the Course of Kildare, in Ireland, for three Years successively; his performances in England, Ireland and America, are well known to all Sportsmen; he is very sure, and his Colts are allowed to be the best made of any in America. He is kept at JOHN HART'S, Esq: in Hunterdon County, New-Jersey, where good Pastures for Mares are provided at a moderate Price" Richard Stockton was also known as a breeder & lover of fast horses. There is probably more about him in other sources, but I don't have any great suggestions off hand. There is also likely some historian at Morven, Stockton's home, that could shed some more light on his horse dealings. http://www.historicmorven.org/ >have evidence of this, please share it with me for a research project. >I am a legitimate journalist, not "aspiring writer".

Hi, We have a William Holloway /WHITE/ who married Fannie /HOWELL/ in about 1844. We have William Holloway /WHITE/ being born in about 1820. We have Fannie /HOWELL/ being born in about 1825. We know they had one child, George Townley /WHITE/, who was born in 1845. We know that he married Mary Isabella /RAYNER/. Just wondered if anyone was related, or might have any information concerning these people. Thanks for your time, - [email protected]

I'm trying to find people who had ancestors connected with THOROUGHBRED horseracing and breeding in NJ. If you are tracing your ancestry and come up with info that a grandparent, or great-grandparent worked at a track or was a horse-racing fan and you have evidence of this, please share it with me for a research project. I am a legitimate journalist, not "aspiring writer". As a guide, there once were racetracks located in Secaucus, Linden, Paterson and Gutenberg (in north Jersey); Camden-Philadelphia and Gloucester in south Jersey. Also would like to hear about your family's connection to the early days of racing at Garden State Park, Monmouth Park, Atlantic City. Please reply to [email protected] with "horse racing" in subjejct line. Thank you for your efforts!
