    1. [HENDERSHOT-L] children of Jos A Hendershot b 1839 Newton,Sussex, NJ(son of John b. 1814)
    2. I'm new to this site so let me begin with GREETINGS FROM SOUTH FLORIDA! I am working from an old copy of the Hendershot Genealogy. On page 224 Jos A. Hendershot and Annette E. Predmore are credited with five children. Lillian M. b.1864(my grandmother) wrote a note found in her copy of Snell's History of Sussex & Warren Counties indeed certifying the above to be her parents. She inscribed the inside page "Lillian Hendershot McDanolds, Branchville, N. J., Christmas1898." Page 224 continues: 2 John b. 1865 (I have penciled in d. 5/18/70) 3 S. Mattie b. 1866 4 Henry b. 1867 (my pencil d. 3/18/70) 5 Stanton E. b. 1870 m. Edna L. ---- (my pen d. 26 Aug 96) Edna -- marr. to Abe Unger Sep. 1884 This ends the entry on page 224 for Jos A.& Annette E. Confusing!? Wait! I have penciled in a #6(no name or b. date) d. 1870 (date does not compute-wouldn't it be strange if #6 died on either 3/18 or 5/18 or maybe one of these is a misprint?) I also penned #7 (Edna H. b. 5/2/81 moved to Newark). Can someone clear up this descendant entanglement for me? Also, what happened on 3or5/18/70 that took the lives of 2 or 3 of my relatives? I have the marriage certificate of 17 January 1883 signed by T. B. Condit with photos of "Lillie" and Jos. H. McDanolds of Swartswood, N.J. I have a photo labeled "Summer 1918" of Lillie, Mattie and Edna and their spouses( respectively Jos H. McDanolds, Theodore B. Dennis, Abe Unger) and 3 young women perhaps in their teens and a boy? about 3 on my grandfather Joseph's knee. I'd like some help identifying the younger four. My father, Howard F. MacDonald b. 12 June 1887 in Swartswood, was the only child of Lillian and Jos McDanolds. I believe they moved to Newark c. 1900, but I can't pick up the trail there. I believe my grandfather worked for Job Haine(s), Wholesale flour ?, who also established the Job Haines Home for the Aged in Newark area. Best recollection is that Jos H. McDanolds died in 1924, the result of an elevated RR accident and Lillian died in 1936 of natural causes. Is there a way to get into the NJ records of birth and death via the NET? Finally, I have a very fuzzy photo labeled, perhaps by my mother, "father's ancestral home." It's an imposing two-story edifice with maybe 4 to 6 white columns about 2ft. square. My guess is that it may be the Mt. Pisgah Hotel, which I have not seen, but believe to be west of Branchville. If this rings a bell for anyone, give me a holler! I appreciate your indulgence in this missive and look forward to hearing from family, friends and mentors. Appreciatively, Bob MacD .
