Hi all, For quite some time I have searched for the vanishing brother of my John BUDD, Esq. and son of Eli BUDD. Wesley BUDD b. abt. 1775 NJ and d. unk. (until now) was a Blacksmith and Forge owner. He was m. to 1) a Sarah BUDD May, 16, 1799, and 2) Sophia Fowler, DEC. 13, 1806 with whom he had 1 child, Eliza Sophia BUDD, b. Sept. 9, 1828. Apparently Sophia d. bef. 1837 and Wesley disappears from the Cumberland Co, NJ area and tax lists. It is purported that he had a son out of wedlock with a Hannah "Helen" Dunckle, (b. 1820, Mass. and d. Nov. 30, 1882, Georgia) named Francis Henry BUDD, b. May 31, 1836 in Suffolk Co, Mass, d. April 1, 1927 in Chatham Co, GA. He was adopted by Helen's sister and brother in law, David and Harriet Thomson, and raised as Francis "Henry" (BUDD) Thomson in Georgia. About 1840 his real mother married a man named McIntyre and was living in NYC. She later was widowed and moved to GA and was living with her sister and brother in law in Chatham GA. By 1880 she is living with her son "Henry" F. (BUDD) Thomson prior to her death in 1882. Where or why Wesley went after leaving a forge business in Cumberland Co, NJ has been a mystery. I found him living in NYC in the 1840 census listed as "Westerly" BUDD and then lost him. Now I have found him in a new feature on Ancestry.com for NY Newspaper Death Extracts 1801-1890 where his DOD is listed as Oct. 5, 1847: New York, Death Newspaper Extracts, 1801-1890 (Barber Collection) Record about Wesley Budd Name: Wesley Budd Publication Date: 7 Oct 1847 DOD: Oct. 5, 1847 age 72 New York Evening Post It is interesting to note that Wesley's son, Francis Henry BUDD Thomson was also a Blacksmith and alternately known as Henry and then Frank. He was known as the Swordmaker of the Confederacy: ARTICLE: Francis Henry Thomson "The Sword Maker of the Confederacy" By D Colin Young and/or Gordon B. Smith Fall, 1994 Footstones, page 3 At the outbreak of the War for Southern Independence in 1861 the South was primarily an agrarian culture with few factories. Prior to hostilities, weapons had been supplied by Northern factories. The Southern armies were forced to rely on stockpiles already in the south and upon arms smuggled through the Union blockade. The majority of these "blockade run" weapons were of English origin. However a few factories were established in Georgia, and among those was the firm of Louis Haiman and Brother in Columbus. The swords produced by this firm were noted for their beauty and quality. The blades for these weapons were wrought by a Savannahian named Francis Henry Thomson.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: HOFFMAN, HAND, ANNELEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wQB.2ACE/1157 Message Board Post: I descend from Jonas Hoffman (d. 1810) through his son, William, and Williams' son John Hoffman who married Hannah Hand. Their daughter Deborah is my ggg grandmother. I have a copy of Jonas' interesting will where he goes into great detail about the property he is leaving each of his children. I saw on an earlier post that he also deeded part or all??? of the mill (possibly a grist mill?) to his son William in 1805. My questions are: 1. Where exactly was this mill? South of Hands Mill Pond? Did it abut the actual West Creek? 2. Did Jonas' son William die with a will? Did William own the mill at his death and if so, does anyone know which of his children got it? I find it interesting to see William's date of death on the Internet is sometimes posted as 1805, but he seems to have been very much alive in 1809 when his father Jonas made his will. Thanks for any help you can provide. Susan

Hello Bob, I graduated from Bridgeton High School in 1947 and have my copy of "Baconian" on the bookshelf. If anyone is interested, I'll post a message with a list of class names. I was born (1928) and raised in Bridgeton and remember Mabel Alexander (Problems in American Democracy or PAD), Preston Sellers (Physics) and Harry Smalley (Principal). There was a Mrs. Lore, our class advisor and the Bradway sisters, Minnie and Mary. Like you, I recognized many of the surnames in Keith's list below. Many of them are repeated in my yearbook. Our families have been in south Jersey forever. Wil Husted Wilfred M.

Thank you all so much for all the work on the cemetery! I can't wait to come see it this weekend! If you need any help with illegible names or dates on gravestones, I may be able to assist or look up relationships for you. I am the custodian of the several hundred page "Descendants of John, Thomas, & James Sheppard" Book in Word format, which was compiled, typed, and published by the late Robert Dallas Dare. The Sheppard Family Book is available for free by email to any verified descendant who requests it. They are also available for sale at the Gloucester County Historical Society in Woodbury. John Sheppard was born about 1590. I also maintain the Dare Family Association's South Jersey Family Tree - with 65,428 connected individuals - which includes many of the old South Jersey families including the Dares, Sheppards, Moores, Lores, Batemans, etc. You can view or download a privatized copy of the database or some associated reports at http://www.darefamily.com/SJtrees.htm Also for free. I do not believe in making money from family trees. Other reports are available if you write to [email protected]

Hi Keith Very nice of you to do something like this. Although I recognize many family names on this list unfortunately none of them fit for me. I graduated in 1946 and many of the faculty on the list were still there: Mabel Alexander, Carl Gray, Carrie Loper, Preston Sellers ( Chemistry or Physics ), and Mary Streets. Harry Smalley principal and Robbins was superintendant. Rex Allen from Roadstown was two years ahead of me.

I was also at the Historical Society this afternoon to get some info for her and was met immediately by Jonathan Wood who said how glad he was to see me today :) In a brief summary 1. There are two cemeteries on Back Neck Rd. The front cemetery is the Swing Methodist cemetery and the back is the Christ Church cemetery. 2. The first Congregationalist church (later Presbyterian) was established by settlers from Fairfield, CT about 1690-1697. My wife's ancestor John Ogden was a founder which is why I started cleaning it up last summer. Bill and Dick have been doing a great job in the Swing Methodist Cemetery and have now expanded their operation. 3. The Methodist movement in this area started in 1790-91 at Michael Swing's farm adjacent to the original Christ Church and it's graveyard. They eventually in the early 1800's built a Church on the opposite corner but by that time the Presbyterians were meeting at the Old Stone Church about a mile away. 4. No people were brought from Greenwich to be buried in Fairfield. Fairfield was the originating church for Greenwich (abt 1728 (by memory)) and Deerfield Church. Greenwich has it's own historical cemetery. 5. The West Jersey Presbytery does own the oldest cemetery. I am not sure but I think the Methodist was owned by a cemetery group which may not still exist. 6. Yes I did have the idea of recording data from the cemetery (I got the idea when I attended a Fife (Scotland) Family History Society meeting in Scotland in April and heard of the project being done by archeology students and professors from St Andrews University) BUT this project has now been adopted by (my) Fairfield Presbyterian Church in Fairton for the belated anniversary of the founding. I have already flagged all the markers but may do some shallow probing to see if any are buried. We will have a surveyor do a site plan; document all stones (88 including head and foot); do rubbings of all headstones; photograph all stones where they lay; repair and reset stones; and provide all this information to whoever has an interest. 7. Bill Morrison has talked the Township into keeping the perimeter clear. I am unsure how we will do between the stones. I may continue or the church may assist as well as Bill and Dick. They have already cleared further back along the property lines than I did. I think of this as a project in process. We will be trying to do a lot before the poison ivy starts to grow.

Hello, Does anyone know about the DAR marker that was placed at the gravesite of John Bereman at the Presbyterian Church cemetery in Greenwich,NJ? John Bereman died 7 Jan 1885. He is not listed in the DAR Patriot Index. His desendant asked me to try to find out why the marker was placed there, if he is not a DAR Patriot. Does anybody know if he was involved with the Revolutionary War in any way, even if he was not in the military? John Bereman was married to Sarah Fithian Bateman. Their son Thomas served in the Rev War but he was buried in KY. Thank you, Rhoda Turner [email protected]

Hello List Members, I have recently come into possession of my Grand father's (Isaac S Allen) year book for the 1925 graduating class of Bridgeton High School, Bridgeton, NJ. There are pictures and signatures for 99% of Senior's in the book as well as much more info on each and every one of them. If you have a relative listed below please contact me ( [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) ) and I can scan the person's picture as well as signature for you and any other info I can find on them in the book. The names below are in the order they appear in the book, so check carefully for whom you seek. The address of most Senior's is also listed. The Senior's were mostly in Bridgeton, but some are listed as from Norma, Cedarville, Newport, Rosenhayn, Greenwich, Carmel, Deerfield, Millville, Centerton, Elmer and Vineland as well. This book is very fragile, so once I am done doing this I will place it away for safe keeping. Please feel free to forward this to any list/s or people who you might think have an interest in finding a relative listed here.

One of my genealogy buddies pointed this out to me. You can read the entire article at www.nj.com and click on Bridgeton News. -andrea Two local residents clean up forgotten cemetery Saturday, January 07, 2006 By KAY RUDDEROW Staff Writer FAIRFIELD TWP. -- Bill Morrison and Richard Blew are keeping history alive by preserving the resting places of the families who founded the area of Fairton in Fairfield Township. The two men have been working diligently since October 2004 to restore the overgrown, vandalized and nearly abandoned graveyard located on Rockville Road. The founding settlers came by boat from Greenwich Township to bury their dead in the old graveyard, known locally as the Swing Cemetery. The cemetery was named after the pastor, the Rev. Michael Swing, who once served one of the two churches that had been located there at one time. (more on the website, didn't want to clog the list)
