Trying to find the parents of Julia Ann BRITTAIN , born in New Jersey (probably Burlington County) 15 Aug 1792. She probably came from Quaker ancestry but she is not in the Quaker records. She married in New Jersey to Mahlon GIBBS, who was also from a Quaker family, prior to 1818. At least 2 sons were born in Burlington Co.NJ prior to their move to Preble Co.,Ohio in 1830. These sons were Elias GIBBS b. 3 Mar 1819 and Charles Newbold GIBBS b.23 Jul 1825. I do not have a clue as to who her parents were but hope someone can give me a direction to go for answers.

Betty and all, I would be very interested in any information you receive about the parents and family of Julia Ann BRITTAIN, born in New Jersey in 1792. I too am seeking more information about the BRITTAINS of New Jersey, especially about my 4g-grandparents, William & Elizabeth BRITTAIN of Amwell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. They had at least two daughters that I know of: Alada BRITTAIN (24 7mo [Jul] 1777 - 12 4mo [Apr] 1848) who married Aaron ELY (24 [7 or 8 mo - contradictory info] 1777 - 20 5mo [May] [1851 or 1857 - contradictory info]), and Elizabeth BRITTAIN who married Amasa ELY (12 11mo [Nov] 1787 - 19 9mo [Sep] 1854), youngest brother of Aaron ELY. Aaron and Amasa were two of the sons of George ELY & Sarah MAGILL of Solebury, Bucks County, PA. Amasa Ely lived for most of his life in Lambertville, New Jersey. After Elizabeth BRITTAIN died, Amasa ELY married another Alada BRITTAIN, (born 26 Apr 1806 in Amwell, died 18 Feb 1876 and buried in the Solebury Friends Burial Ground). This Alada was the daughter of John & Grace BRITTAIN. According to the Ely genealogy, Grace Brittain died 28 Apr 1880 in Lambertville, New Jersey, at the age of 101 years and 6 months. I have not yet managed to establish how this John Brittain might be related to "my" William Brittain. According to Albert Cook Myers in his "Quaker Arrivals at Philadelphia 1682-1750...," p. 116, certificate of removal: "John Britten, wife and family. Children: Jacob, John, and Susanna are unmarried. Dated 2 mo. 8, 1750, from Mtg. at Cooledine, co. of Wexford, Ireland. Original on file. Received 6 mo. 31, 1750." I have wondered if and how the immigrant John Britten might have been related to either "my" William or to John Brittain. Any insight would be most appreciated!
