Maryann - do you know if the father of Charles HOFF might be Derick? If so, I found his will entry in the 1st volume of wills date year of 1722. Will be happy to transcribe it for you.

I have a Charles Hoff, married Abigail Codington. Charles and Abigail both died in 1782. I don't know if they had a daughter, Abigail, but they could have. They did have daughters Sarah, and Mary, and son, Charles. Sarah married Spencer Carter. I would be interested in any info on these folks.

So far I have gleaned some information about three of Abigail HOFF's sisters via their New Jersey marriage records and a book written about the husband of Abigail's sister Mary, the loyalist Alexander CLARK. And because it appears that the husband of Abigail's sister Elizabeth, Andrew MAINS, fought for the Continental Army, I have become very interested in researching the details of the HOFF sisters and their families' lives before, during, and after the Revolutionary war. The New Jersey marriage records: On 15 Jul 1762 Andrew MAINS of Fre(e)hold, Monmouth County (New Jersey) stood with Middlesex County resident Benjamin BRITTEN when Benjamin obtained his marriage license to Abigail HOFF of Freehold, and On 7 Nov 1763 Benjamin BRITTON (now) resident of Freehold stood with Alexander CLARK of Freehold when Clark obtained his marriage license to Mary HOFF of Freehold. And from book written about Alexander CLARK published on 10 Sep 1940: On 26 Mar 1786 Miriam HOFF ZUTPHEN wrote a letter from Middletown (Monmouth County, New Jersey) to her sister Mary HOFF CLARK in New Brunswick, Canada giving "news of their aged father, and of Sister MAINS and Sister BRITON". I'm hoping to be able to lay hands on a copy of that letter, because unfortunately the book doesn't give any details of the "news".

Looking for help in finding out what happened to a great Uncle who came to New Jersey, with his grown up family, in the 1923 -4. He was visited by our grandfather (who was also a sailor) whenever he was in America. His name was Thomas Charles PEDLER (known in the UK as 'Charlie' but as he got older reverted to his first name of Thomas). He was born in 1880 in Plymouth Devon England. He went into the Royal Navy at 16 yrs and became a ships carpenter. Whilst he was in the navy he married a Harriet PEDLER (think it's just a coincidence they had the same surname) and had 2 children: Winifred (13th Aug 1903) and Leslie Thomas (2nd Feb 1908). When he came out of the navy in 1920 the family packed their bags and went to New Jersey. He worked as a carpenter in America. The family appear to have stopped in New Jersey. We have his obituary, which was amongst our grandfathers papers. He died January 1954 and the given address was Summit Drive Denville NJ. At the time his wife and children were still all alive. Winifred appears to have married and her married name is PIPI. her address is given as Morris NJ. In the UK she was a nurse not sure if she continued this career in America. Leslie gives an address as Bloomfield NJ. In the UK he was studying to be a solicitor (lawyer) but again not sure if he continued with this profession. We know very little else about this man, as he had been and gone before we were born. We would be grateful for any help any one can give us about what 1920's New Jersey would have been like. Where is Summit Drive? If any of his family are still alive and want to contact us that would be an added bonus as what we have from his navel records show him to be a very interesting man. Thank you for any help Karen and John

Does anyone know if there was a Monthly Meeting in Hunterdon County in ca. 1730 to ca. 1755. I am researching McCRACKENS and OSMANS who lived there and later moved to Frederick County,Virginia. In ca. 1750 JAMES McCRACKENS leased land in Frederick County to GEORGE WASHINGTON. He had purchased the land in 1750 from DAVID GRIFFITH, ANDREW HAMPTON & BENJAMIN BORDEN. I believe that BENJAMIN was possibly leader of a religious denomination that moved to Virginia,possibly Quakers. Thank you, Clyde

The FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH of CAPE MAY located in Cape May Court House, Middle Twp.is the oldest Church in Cape May Co. All types of records have been kept over the years. The oldest record book is dated 1712. The records include subscription papers, pew rental books, poor house records, receipts, bills and letters pertaining to material, transporting means & costs, labor & etc.used in building their meeting houses (they are currently in the 5th one). They have submission and dismission papers. The record books and papers that have been kept for almost 300yrs. show means of livihood and the mobility of people during those times. Since the records are in the process of being sorted, filed and conserved they are not available to the public yet. Requests for information will be answered as time allows. The FIRST BAPTIST CEMETERY is an interesting site. The first recorded burial is from the 1740's. Records have been kept of burial plot purchases from sometime in the 1870's. Some members of the Cemetery Committee have started cleaning the old stones, some of which are so covered with mold, dirt and grime they are hardly legible. It is very time consuming.Transcriptions made in the 1920's have been copied and alphabetized and obits are being copied from old newspapers. If anyone has a family plot in the cemetery and would like to help in some way, they can contact the Church at [email protected] or www.firstbaptistcourthouse.org. I was born in CAPE MAY CO. and my families have been here since the beginning. I am researching the STITES, SHIVERS and BUCK families. Susan
