I am researching the Heiser family that immigrated to Philadelphia about 1840 with JACOB HEISER SR. and his wife CATHERINE UNKNOWN. They had a son WILLIAM WASHINGTON HEISER (ggrandfather) who married RACHEL ALLEN. William and Rachel had 12 children,including two sets of twins. One of the sets included my grandfather EDWIN MARTIN HEISER b.1887) who liked to be called EDWARD. He married AMELIA DENSTEN (b.1891 Deptford Twp.),don't know where.They lived in Philadelphia in the beginning of their marriage but moved the family to NJ for the birth of their last child BERNARD HARRY HEISER who was my father.That was in 1924. I am looking for info of their life while living in Thorofare,Woodbury and Paulsboro in Gloucester County. I was told that they owned a general store on Old Crown Point Road in Thorofare sometime during the early 1930's. I have not found any proof of this though there is still an old storefront on that road. I was also told that EDWIN MARTIN aka. EDWARD worked at Sucony Vacuum in Paulsboro where he lost his leg or part of it. BERNARD'S sister MARIE married CHARLES LEONARD who owned a dairy (another story) just off of Crown Point Road and I was told that my father delivered dairy products up and down the Delaware River to the farms that used to be there when he was a child. BERNARD (BERNIE) attended a school in Paulsboro when he was very young and then the Walnut Street School in Woodbury till about the sixth grade. His first wife was Edna Dean from Woodbury. I know nothing about her except that they probably married about 1942 or so. EDWIN and AMELIA broke up when my father was four years old. She returned to Philadelphia to live with her mother and my father was raised by his sister. Not sure where EDWIN was in the family life then but he stayed in NJ. Any info or old photos that can be copied would be appreciated and I will share what I have. Thank you, S. Hoffman
