Have not posted in 5 or 6 months, have hit many brick walls, and since there have been so many new people added to the list I thought I'd give it another try. Looking for info on ancestors of a Lawrence Farrell born in Ireland about 1830 whose father was Michael Farrell born around 1799 and whose mother was either Catherine or Sarah. Lawrence is buried in NJ next to a Thomas Farrell born in 1822 or 1823 and I suppose this could be a brother since their father's names on the death certificate are the same. Lawrence married a Mary Selvy on Jan. 2, 1856 in St. Patrick's Cathedral in Newark, NJ. They had the following children: Michael, Mary, Thomas, Lawrence Jr., John, Joseph, James, Edward and William. Lawrence Jr. married a Sarah Johnson from Pennsylvania. Are there any Farrells out there that this sounds familiar to? Judy in NC

I am descended from Thomas Penn and wife Amanda. They lived in Bloomfield during the 1800's. Their childred are: John D. 1835 - 1893 Joseph W. 1846 - 1922 Mary Catherine 1844 - Mary Ann 1857 - Sarah 1852 - Robert M. 1850 - 1936 I'm searching for parents of Thomas Penn and Amanda's maiden name (possibly Dipley). Would welcome information from anyone connected to this family.

I have just received four death certificates from Trenton. Even though I requested they not block out cause of death, they ignored me. And even though I am the direct descendant of one of the persons. If someone has access to the following death certificates, could you please send me the cause of death? Elizabeth BROSS, date of death: Nov. 29, 1943. Residence and place of death: 177 Brighton Ave., East Orange, NJ. #549 (if that is helpful). Anson BROSS, date of death: 24 Sept. 1907. Place of death Newark City Hospital. Residence, 171 Orange St., Newark, NJ. (No #) Theodore BROSS, date of death: 9 February 1899. Residence: 94 Bleeker St., Newark, NJ.

I am looking for information on the ancestors of: Amelia Sayre b. 1853 in Roseland, NJ. She married Charles Schott. Ella Sayre b. 1865, Essex Co. She married August Schott. John Sayre b. 2/14/1814. He married Phoebe Corby. I believe that they are related but I don't know how.

HI Group: Another useful website to locate people and businesses in Europe is: http://www.infospace.com These listing are in English, and can be found for the UK, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxemburg, and Spain. I've found people with my husband's and my ancestors' family names in England, Germany and Italy; however, I did know the villages of our ancestors. I also did a surname search for e-mail addresses covering these countries through this website. I hope this is of some help to everyone.

Hi again, folks... I have a 1865 edition of Barber and Howe signed on the faceplate by Ira Gardner, my Great Grandfather....It's very difficult to look names up in because it is mainly concerned with population for each township....and FULL of Indian history of the area. I would be willing to give it a look if you have the township of your ancestors... I am still looking for Sara Jane Smith's ancestors. I did find her husband, Uriah Gardner, and his parents: Thomas and Abigail Allen. This search was halved because he married his 1st cousin, Nancy Allen ! Any knowledge of Sara Jane Smith (b.1-24-1833 m.5-17-1854 d. 10-11-1894 ) , Clifton Township with records in Newark, Irvington or maybe Orange, would be appreciated.. Jane R. Elliott Newport, NH

Sorry for the duplicate emails on Lindsley/Breese. My email was telling me it couldn't connect to the server... it lied! :) Sue Hathon

Hi Judy, Thank you for the book recommendations. Yes, when you have some time I would appreciate having the info on where to obtain the Munsell book. For the benefit of anyone researching ancestors from Clinton Twp, I'll mention an out of print book I recently obtained through an interlibrary loan: _Out of Our Past (A History of Irvington, NJ)_ by Alan A. Siegel, 1974. I found it to be a well-written, interesting account of this area, with many old photos of people and places. There are hundreds of names included in the index and appendices (no Breeses, though.) Like you, I noticed my Lindsley 3rd great grandparents gave their male offspring middle names that were the surnames of other families including Baldwin, Ogden, and Crane. Two, probably all three will turn out to be names connected to the family. Interestingly, Lindsley, Baldwin, Ogden, Crane and the surnames you mentioned - Pierson and Mills - are all surnames found in the the group of about 30 Puritan families who left the New Haven Colony in CT and became Newark's first settlers. My Lindsley ancestors were amongst this group. I haven't yet begun to research the Ogden line, but will keep an eye out for a "Breese" tie-in when I do. I haven't encountered Rev Robt Lindsley from Morristown, but a couple generations of the family lived there, so he's probably connected somehow. Thanks for writing!

In searching the LDS site I found two possible connections First I found a marriage for George B Loveless to Mary K Newton in Newark NJ in1866. I believe this to be a connection to my line as - 1 My George B Lovelace buried a Mary K Lovelace in Faimount Cemetery in 1869. She was 26 married and died of peritoniotis. 2. George married Elizabeth Riker daughter of George and Elizabeth Riker in 1872 Also buried in George's cemetery plot is a Susie Newton whom up until this time I have not been able to connect to the family. Second I found a marriage of George W Riker and Elizabeth Godby with marriage date the year previous to Elizabeth Rikers birth. Joseph Godby was witness to George Lovelace and Elizabeth Rikers marriage. William Devoe was the other witness. Now I must view the original films for these two events to verify the material but I feel fairly comfortable withthe information. Now if I could just find John Lovelxxx's parents!! John and Sarah Drake Lovelxxx are found in the Forestburgh, Sullivan County census for 1850 and 1860. In a book listing Zephaniah Drake and Rebecca Shons as parents of Sarah Drake, Jonathan Lovelace is listed as her husband. Would also like to find the connection of William W Hartwell (born in 1829) to John and Sally and George as he is listed in George's bible!! Good hunting Doris Mayer Reece

Dear List Readers: I noticed the following messages and wanted to say that I have a newly printed book entitled "Historical Collections of the State of New Jersey; ...relating to its History and Antiquities" by John W. Barber and Henry Howe. It was originally published in New York in 1846 and was re-printed in 1995 by Clearfield Company, 200 East Eager Street, Baltimore, MD 21202. Phone is (410) 625-9004. I don't know if the Clearfield Co. is on line or not. The book is a soft-cover or paperback copy and consists of 512 pages. I can't remember how much I paid for it. Furthermore, it is not indexed - to answer Sue Hathon's question. Judy Martin commjet@aol.com <> <<My Lindsley ancestors lived there in the 1800s and I am gradually learning more about them and this area. Clinton is now Irvington, NJ and part of Newark. The town (or at least parts of it) have been known as West Farms, Camptown, Clinton, then Irvington. In the 1870 census I found my Clinton ancestors listed in S. Orange, with a notation on the census page that the P.O. is Irvington. I don't have any knowledge of your book, but would like to ask if it is indexed? If so, would you mind checking to see if there is a mention of any "Lindsleys"? Sue Hathon (in southern CA)>>

My grandparents lived in Newark around the turn of the last century and my mother and her 2 sisters were born in Newark. Grandpa Gable (Franklin A) in 1900 lived with his parents (Peter A Gable - a blacksmith; Julia Elma Earles, and siblings). The address as best I can make it out in the census records in Bloomfield Rd. Grandpa Gable married a Margaret May Moore (parents Alexander and Sarah Ann Todd) in 1907 and was by this time a wagon maker. He moved to Detroit about 1914. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have any information about this family. I also have on specific question: Are the city wards of the 1895 State of New Jersey Census the same as the wards listed in the 1900 Federal Census? Or does anybody know where the answer to this question can be found? RE: Moore/Todd they apparently came from Jersey City and I am especially interested in getting more (pardon the pun) information on them. I would be willing to share the information on the Gable family that I have with any relatives. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me Kurt J.

Wilson, I don't know if he's any relation, but I ran across a census enumerator named Jeremiah DeCamp. He was an enumerator in Newark in 1880, and I happened to find him when going through the 1870 census page by page. His occupation was something like Coal Deliverer. I just thought it was interesting and the name stuck in my head. If you think this will help you, I can look up the ward I found him in (it was the same as my relatives). I have the info in my files.

I know they have the Birth Records and Marriage Records back to about 1850 and maybe somewhat previously. I was able to find my GGrandfather Isaac Jacobus Van Ness and his Brother and Sisters in the Orange Township Birth records recorded between 1858 and 1867. I was not able to find a record of my GGGrandparents Austin Van Ness and Caroline R. Jacobus's marriage between 1850 and 1858. While I am sending this to the whole list, let me repeat MY query. I am searching for information on the parents of Austin Van Ness. He was born in New Jersey about 1830. My first record of him is on the 1850 Essex Co. Caldwell Township Census with an age of 19, living with another carpenter's family. Family lore has it that he was an orphan, but I have NO proof of that. I am also searching for information on Austin's children Edwin S. Van Ness born 1858, Harriet E. Van Ness born 1863, and Rachel Cornelia born 1867 in Orange Township, Essex Co., NJ. I have tracked this family through the 1880 census of Orange, but I have found no record of the family after that except for my GGrandfather, Isaac Jacobus Van Ness. Thanks to Reeve Jacobus, I have some information on the Ancestors of Caroline R. Jacobus. I am willing to share the information I have. Thank you, Thomas E.

I hope to make a trip to NJ in a few months and would appreciate any advice you can provide on the following: I am interested in the BARNETT family, who lived in Newark around 1820, and in Rahway around 1840. I have little more to go on other than some likely first names. What are the relative merits of the Newark Public Library, Jersey City Public Library, and the Rutgers Special Collections for chasing what I am after? Are there other, better sources? All help appreciated. Ted George T (Ted) Pierce rpfamily@concentric.net

Does anyone on the list have records that might establish the parents of Henry DeCamp of Newark, probably b. abt. 1885-1890? He married Mildred F. Bross, probably about 1910-1915. They had one son, Kenneth DeCamp, b. abt. 1916. I do not know the names of Henry's parents or any other children. Mildred's parents were Edgar James Bross of Sussex Co., NJ and Elizabeth Lennox of NY. Mildred was born July 1889. Wilson DeCamp Vienna, VA
