Apparently the link I had for the Old Cohansey Baptist Church cemetery was mis-labeled and is not the OCBC cemetery. My contact will be mailing me a list of burials in a brochure and I will type it in. No wonder we were all confused :) -andrea

Hi. I went to Fernwood once in August to take a photo of a cousin's grave. I don't recall seeing an office on the premesis. It is very well taken care of, so I'm sure there is an association. I think you should call them. I found these listings: Fernwood Memorial Cemetery 794 Shiloh Pike, Bridgeton, NJ (856) 451-3636 Fernwood Memorial Cemetery-If No Answer Call Shiloh Park, Bridgeton, NJ (856) 451-7463 Good luck! -andrea On 10/21/05, Elberta Ramos <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > Does anyone know if there is an office for Fernwood Memorial Cemetery, at the 794 Shiloh Pike, Bridgeton address?

Hi. I gave out the name of the person to contact about the *Old* Cohansey Cemetery with a list of burials at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/nj/cumberland_nj_cem1.htm This woman who works for the city has been getting emails from people who have not checked the list. She just wanted to know about the people in there as she's done a lot of work in the cemetery and has "adopted" them - so they're not just stones to her. Please check the list and make sure your relatives aren't in the *NEW* one which is at Roadstown and is in the *OLD* one. I feel really bad wasting her time. Thanks, -andrea

Hoffman Hi Dolores, Just wondering if you have a William Hoffman that was married to a Rebecca Smith from PA. RhodA Turner [email protected]

Hello, Does anyone know if there is an office for Fernwood Memorial Cemetery, at the 794 Shiloh Pike, Bridgeton address? Over the past year I've written them several letters requesting information on several family members buried there, but have never heard from them. Does anyone know if they have offices at a different location or if they just don't respond to written queries? Thanks, Elberta AZ --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wQB.2ACE/1148.1 Message Board Post: Hello Dolores, Your post caught my attention, since I live about 2 miles from Hoffmans Mill. I have a small book or magazine that was published in 1976 about Belleplain and it mentions Hoffmans Mill. This is what it has written about Hoffmans Mill: Hoffmans Mill (site), This is some distance from Belleplain, but evidently people from Belleplain worked there in the old days. I believe Joe Mason or his relatives had a mill there. Seems in later years a sawdust pile fire burned down there a long time before it could be put out. How the location got it's name , I do not know. Joe Mason told me it was not named from any of the Hoffmans living in Belleplain. I have heard it was an early Swedish name from the early settlers. I believe Mason mentioned members of the camp family living near the mill. Hoffman's Mill burned down in 1907. Just thought I would share that little peice of info with you. Dale

Hi. I found a paper by the Assistant Planner of County of Cumberland Planning & Economic Development about how they GPS mapped the cemetery with help from university students and faculty. I emailed her and asked her for a copy of the map so I could use it. She sent me the map and this note: ---- Who are your ancestors that are buried in the Old Cohansey Baptist cemetery? I only ask because through the research we are doing we have found out some things about some of the people buried there and are always looking for more information. We just might be able to help each other. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your interest. ---------- I didn't want to publish her name/contact info on a mailing list, but if you email me, I'd be happy to give it to you (not that it's not on the Bridgeton City web page or anything hee hee). Also, let me know if you'd like the map. I'm sure she wouldn't mind me emailing it out. I found this list of burials here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/nj/cumberland_nj_cem1.htm Again, this is the *Old* Cohansey Cemetery and not the one at Roadstown. This was before they moved it down the road in 1802. -andrea

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wQB.2ACE/1148 Message Board Post: A volunteer at the Millville Historical Society brought out a 27-inch-wide doc from Maurice River Township that he called "the Deed to Hoffman's Mill." It was from Jonas Hoffman Sr. to William Hoffman (though both were spelled "Huffman" by the writer). It was dated 1804, March 23. This 102 acre parcel was cut from Jonas's 264 acres "surveyed" and recorded at a nonspecific earlier date, as "Lib O, Folio 296." No earlier seller was mentioned, nor did I go check this Deed address at the Cumberland County Courthouse. The transferred parcel abutted lands of William Moslander; the "head" of Tub Mill; and land already owned by William Hoffman. Although the Deed mentions houses (plural) and outbuildings, since Jonas was still keeping the larger portion of his land, I'm not sure I agree this was the actual transfer of "Hoffman's Mill" itself. It may instead have been a parceling out to what I believe was Jonas's oldest son (a younger son being the Jonas Hoffman who later fought in the War of 1812). The 1804 property transfer was witnessed by Levin Wainwright and Thomas Jones. All three signatures appear, and Jonas's (the shakiest of the 3) might even say Jones Hoffman. On yet another doc I am certain I've seen a "Johannas" Hoffman too, of the right dates to be ol' Jonas. As you know from earlier discussions, these Hoffmans are so far traced to the Swedish immigrant Hans Hopman/ Hoppman, but some either chose to Anglicize their name or gave in to clerical misspellings. Wayne Hopman's website tells the story: http://www.geocities.com/wjhopman/ My line goes from ol' Jonas to son William; then William's son John (who md. Hannah Hand) then their daughter Susannah Hoffman Horton Vanzant (1838-1916); her daughter Mary Horton Steele (1862-1933?); then Emma Steele Langley (1880-1981) and my dad, Robert (b. 1921).

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wQB.2ACE/1147 Message Board Post: These were NJ Supreme Court cases, according to an Ancestry.com database: --Hoffman, Jonas (versus) Gandy, Edward (case #) 16111 -- year not given --Hoffman, William Gandy, Edward 16143 (year) 1811 --Hoffman, Nicholas Gaston, Robert 16158 1792 --*Hand, Christopher Hoffman, Eli 16257 1824 --Hart, Ephraim Hoffman, John R. 16278 1797 --Hoffman, Nicholas Harris, Isaac 16384 -- year NG --Hewes, Samuel Hoffman, Moses 16467 1763 --*Hoffman, Eli Hand, Christopher 16520 1833 I clipped Hoffmans and Hands, because both were my ancestors and because I suspect that at least two of the cases (see *) involved disputes about Mill ownerships or waterways. To this day you can notice on a map how close Hoffman's Mill(s) and Hand's Mill are, and a synopsis by Glenn Bingham once clarified that Jonas Hoffman originally owned both. I am posting this on NJ-Cumberland and Cape RootsWeb, too, because the borders changed in this vicinity once or twice. It is apparent that the years and case numbers do not perfectly line up, but if Jonas died in 1810 (as stated Roy Hand in "Mills . . . ") then it must have been a later Jonas Hoffman who served in the War of 1812 (in a unit headed by a Gandy, yet another name above.) These case numbers should provide a shortcut when an interested researcher next visits the NJ Archives. Please also see my other Hoffman/ Huffman post.

Hi Mary -- yes I have access to this early tax list too but looking for the specific 1800 census which has all heads of household indexed for just 1800. The list you refer to has various dates for tax lists from 1772 up to 1806, I believe. Joan In a message dated 10/15/2005 11:26:10 P.M.
