Wilson Jr FITZGERALD m. Amanda Augusta SMITH (of an unknown family - grrr!) They had Amanda Augusta FITZGERALD, and she married Clarence SCHMIECH, who is listed on the Social Security Death Index, thusly: CLARENCE SCHMIECH 11 Aug 1891 Dec 1973 08096 (Woodbury, Gloucester, NJ) (none specified) 090-10-7534 New York Who was he? I sought to find that out today. I believe I have a good deal of the answers. First, the 1900 Census and the 1910 Census for a Clarence SCHMIECH. This revealed: 1900 Camden 12-WD 2908 Cramer John G SCHMIECH Born 3/1858 Aged 42 M 20yrs married PA GER GER Lithographer Anna SCHMIECH Born 12/1863 Aged 38 M 20yrs married PA GER GER Emma SCHMIECH Born 11/1881 Aged 18 NJ PA PA Pen Stamper Ida SCHMIECH Born 4/1885 Aged 16 NJ PA PA At School Laura SCHMIECH Born 5/1889 Aged 12 NJ PA PA At School Clarence SCHMIECH Born 8/1892 Aged 8 NJ PA PA Now for 1910, he is listed as George. But that is not a surprise. Look at the middle initial for 1900... The others are the same. Now here I deviate just a bit. I don't automatically accept places of birth, as sometimes ethnic background is substituted - for instance, a fellow who is of Irish background, though born in NJ, may be listed as born IRE! And there are other errors. I believe such may be the situation here... There is only *one* SCHMIECH listed in the entire US for 1880!!! And here it is: Elisabetha SCHMIECH Self W Female W 52 BADEN Keeping House BADEN BADEN John SCHMIECH Son S Male W 23 NY Farmer WURT BADEN Stephen SCHMIECH Son S Male W 21 NY Farmer WURT BADEN John BETZ Other S Male W 17 NY Servant BADEN IREL Newtown, Queens, New York City-Greater, New York Family History Library Film 1254919 NA Film Number T9-0919 Page Number 239B I believe John listed here is John, the father of Clarence. So there you have my discoveries for today for the Camden surname SCHMIECH. Vince Summers

Hi, I know it can be a bit much to ask for a photo request, but I wish to give it a go. Trouble is, it is Colestown Cemetery, and I don't know the location of the burials! A family. Horace GITHENS m. Georgia "Georgie" STOCKHAM. Horace died 1943 and is buried at Colestown. I assume his wife is buried there, too. She had been born in 1869. If someone would be willing to locate and photograph these, I would really appreciate it, and we could send a copy to Phil Cohen (the creator of some really great pages having to do with Camden County) - I feel sure he would be happy to give you credit for the photos. Phil, kick me if I am being a bit presumptuous - and if you can reach me in Virginia! Heh-heh... Thanks, Vince Summers

They came, apparently, from Bucks County to Camden 1880-ish. Anyone having anything on them, I would really love the help. It is a fairly new batch to me. Apparently a son John R. who may have married a Jennie V. All of this is speculative at present... Thanks, Vince Summers

Hello New Jersey Researchers: I have recently updated a page to our web site that should be of interest to you all. Titled "How Many Ancestors Do You Have?"

Enter our Home Page at the web site at; http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/ Once there you will be looking for the link that takes you to the FAMILIES PAGES INDEX. When you get there you will see HOW MANY ANCESTORS DO YOU HAVE? That is where you want to go. For those of you who are AOL members you may have trouble connecting to many pages that may come up with a message such as "Page Does Not Exist" and you can cure that by using your browser feature of Copy and Paste the URL to your browser and then enter from there.

Hi, The CCHS has a book that I am hoping some one of you has obtained. I cannot afford to buy it, as reasonable as it is, and I am hoping someone could send me a scan of a small piece of information in it. Here is the name of the book: *WATERWAYS OF CAMDEN COUNTY* *A Historical Gazetteer by William R. Farr Here is what I see: "...*a brief mention that says J.&C. Stockham owned a 50 acre tract of land in Camden County, New Jersey, that is detailed in Hopkins' 1877 Atlas, "Map of Stockton Township." The context of the reference is that a small stream or waterway is shown on that map running across the Stockham land." Thanks, Vince Summers

Someone on this list (e.g. Phil Cohen) might find this piece interesting... I certainly did! John O'Neale STOCKHAM was native to Camden, New Jersey. Hence this email. He was apparently in the lumber industry, as many STOCKHAMs were, He was the son of George & Margaret B. O'Neal(e) STOCKHAM. Dates? January 12, 1838 to June 18, 1878. He died in, or on the way to, Philadelphia. He died from? Get this... family tradition (not out of harmony with circumstantial evidence and history) has him dying of African Fever! Here is a Pennsylvania news article: ITEM #106785 October 28, 1875 THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER Philadelphia, Pennsylvania "AN ENTERPRISING PHILADELPHIAN" Among the cabin passengers on the American line steamer Illinois, for Liverpool, from Philadelphia, September 2, was Mr. J.O. Neale Stockham who goes the second time to Liberia. On a sailing vessel machinery will be sent out for manufacturing indigo. Mr. Stockham left the first time in October, 1874, and remained six months, putting up a steam coffee hulling machine, and making extensive preparations for growing coffee. He returned on the 4th of July. He will spend several weeks in Liverpool, and take with him a steam launch, for running on the St. Paul's river. He is a member of the firm of Edward S. Morris & Co. It is pleasant to see an enterprising citizen thus engaged in opening new fields for trade. Mr. Stockham proposes to make an exploring trip toward the sources of the Niger river, in company with Hon. J. Milton Turner, United States minister resident in Liberia, Rev. Dr. Blyden, and others, for geographical discoveries." I found much in the last 24 hours on the ship, the persons mentioned in the article, the disease, and Liberia. It all makes sense. Is there anyone who might possibly (unlikely) have further information? The fellow who uncovered the cause of this disease found it was mosquito-caused (the insect carrying the virulence). I have not yet found either his definite place of death (maybe on board, maybe in Philadelphia, or maybe even in Liberia, though oral tradition lists only the first two possibilities). Nor do I know his place of death. Oh. Did I mention his wife? Get this: Mary Garophelia Mohalba TREADWELL, the daughter of a very interesting grandfather, Captin Charles TREADWELL, of New Hampshire. Tales of pirateering, etc., etc.! Thanks, Vince Summers

Hello New Jersey Researchers: For those of you who have a deep interest in how, when and where your Surnames were formed I would like to direct you to 5 new pages we have recently added to our web site. Many researchers have for years believed that all ancestors with the same Surname were at some point related. That is simply not true. When you get back to proving your pre 1500s ancestors you will discover that there are in fact many Surnames that have passed through many families that have no relationship whatsoever. The 5 pages mentioned also contain information on many Forenames and their creation and some of the pages are large so relax and take your time. THE ORIGIN OF THE SURNAME PART 1 THE ORIGIN OF THE SURNAME PART 2 THE ORIGIN OF THE FORENAME FORENAMES OF WOMEN AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE FORENAMES OF MEN AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE .......................................................................... There is much information here that should be of interest to all. Go to our web site at: http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/ Once there enter the link titled "ORIGIN OF SURNAMES & FORENAMES" this will take you to the index for the 5 pages.
