Greetings, My ancestors are Edwards. I've traced them back to Ira Edwards, born in NJ in 1803 and died in Onondaga County, NY in about 1863. He was married to Phoebe Gildersleeve born about the same time and she died in Michigan in 1868. Phoebe could have been from Essex as well. We have a 1920s handwritten family tree that places Ira's father as John, John's father as John and it leads back to Essex, NJ. But we've not been able to establish Ira's place or birth, nor really identify his parents. Anybody out there familiar with the Edwards and Gildersleeve clans of NJ, particularly of the Essex area? Thanks, Dick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dick Hills' rhills@westol.com

Looking for a death date, for a Phoebe believe she died before 1815 in Sussex or Essex co. .....Seems to have married Isaac Force. Any help appreciated. M.Force

Dyane, I want to thank you for this site....I have forwarded it to several other lists who might also find it useful. I found several potential connections and a surprising governor of Mass. with the exact same name as my grandfather, Edward Jarvis King. I think there may be a connection in there somewhere and will try to follow up. Happy Familying Laura Irby in VA

Glenn, How could you assume that I would send something not related to Essex Co.? I was not about to list all the politicians who were born or buried in Essex Co. nor list all the political cemeteries in Essex Co and surrounding areas. I did think that this site would be helpful to some. Sorry, Dyane

You think that's bad? A few days ago I downloaded a family query form....or should I say forms. It was 4 pages double columned, smaller than newspaper print with 10 categories: Yourself, Family, Grandparents, Childhood, School, Transportation & Surroundings, Traditions, Higher Education & Career, Marriage & Later Life, Philosophy & Outlook. Asking such things as: What type of house did you livein as a child? What is your most enjoyable memory of time spent with your family? How was your house heated? What family traits run in your family? Where did your family go on vacation? And........not a word about genetic or medical problems. One can really get carried away!

Judy, Would this be available for an interlibrary loan? Happy Famlying Laura Irby in VA << aura: While I don't know of any listings online, there is a book in the Westfield, NJ library with the tombstone inscriptions for the Rahway library, and the Woodbridge Presbyterian Church has a similar book. I believe these were both wwritten by the DAR. Does anyone know about the copyright issues involved with putting these lists online? Judy >>

http://politicalgraveyard.com/ The above link may be of interest on two counts-it links historic cemeteries in "US and if your relatives ever were elected or appointed key officials in USA it tells a bit about them and where they were buried!

I received this post from another list. It struck me that this might be the case: Will we make the same mistakes our ancestors did? Have you written down important and trivial info for your grandchildren such as: 1. Favorite: color, book, music, movie, etc. 2. Schools you went to. 3. Your parents info: maiden names, birth/death days, sibling/parents. 4. Military, clubs, groups, occupation. 5. Hobbies, games, sports, travels 6. Favorite food, recipes 7. Where you met your spouse 8. Childhood memories 9. Faith 10. Hair color, the color of your eyes, height 11. Where you lived as a child. 12. Anything else you may think of, that you wish you knew about the ancestors you are searching.

Hi, Looking to connect with anyone who has info about Susan Brown and James Vincent Cunnane, parents of Waltina Isabel Cunnane DOB. 6/9/1904. Orange NJ. DOD 7/26/1975 Daytona Beach Florida. Family Oral History has Susan running a Tea Room In East Orange called Washington Gables and living upstairs with kids during the mid 1930s.

Judy, is there any cemetery occupant listings for these areas, online? Just a thought! Happy Familying Laura Irby in VA << Woodbridge used to be a part of the larger area Elizabethtown, and was part of Essex Co before Middlesex Co was formed. Rahway is just north of Woodbridge and south of the present Elizabeth. I have seen wills identifying a person as living in "Rahway Ward, Elizabethtown, Essex Co." There is an old cemetery in Rahway dating from 1727. There is also an old cemetery at the First Presbyterian Church of Woodbridge. Judy >>

It's no wonder that it is so difficult to find information about our ancestors. I have a MILLER ancestor in PA that is listed as having been born in three different places on 3 different documents. I guess they usually put down where the place was at the time of the document, though the place may have relocated politically several times since the occurrence. Happy Familying Laura Irby in VA << Hello ECRs, It seems the question about Woodbridge being in Essex County has a little bit more to it than I previously knew. There is some conflict about dates and boundaries that would support the possibility of Woodbridge being in Essex County. Given these conflicts, Woodbridge may have been part of Essex County between the years 1675 - 1683. The conflicts hinge on whether Essex County was formed from the Province of East Jersey in 1675 or 1682. Some books say 1675 and others say 1682. The boundary conflict has to do with the border of Essex (Union) County being between Woodbridge and Rahway. Any other thoughts? Thanks, >>
