Hi Willard- Here is what I have on these Wheatons: William Wheaton- I have 1740-50 as a birth date range- source is Charles Carroll Gardner cards Martha Martin- I have 1753 as a birth date and ca 1796 for death- also Charles Carroll Gardner Marriage date for these about 1772, from Gardner and Lockward: A Puritan Heritage p. 441 as sources (all the children's information below is from Lockward): Children: (in no particular order) 1. Bethuel b 19 Nov 1773; bap 1st Pres Ch at Caldwell; possibly father of Lucinda b 1807 who married Thomas Day Corby 2. Phebe b 28 Apr 1775; bap 1st Pres Ch at Caldwell 3. Elizabeth b 6 Oct 1776; bap 1st Pres Ch at Caldwell; married Amos Corby 15 Aug 1795 at 1st Pres Ch at Caldwell 4. Mary b 18 Nov 1778; bap 1st Pres Ch at Caldwell 5. Rachel b 31 Jul 1780; bap 1st Pres Ch at Caldwell; married William Davis 6. Lydia/Lydea b 22 Jan 1782; bap 1st Pres Ch at Caldwell 7. Letty(?Hetty)/Lety - no date 8. William b 6 Oct 1783; bap 1st Pres Ch at Caldwell; married Nettee Spear 8 Jan 1808 9. Naomi - no date 10. Cyrenus/Cyrenius b 7 Jan 1788; bap 1st Pres Ch at Caldwell 11. Eunice - not included in my data 12. Squire b 17 Jun 1796 at Caldwell; married 1813 at NJ Mary/Mercy Jacobus (1793 Caldwell to 1864 OH); 1815 living with Mary at Tyre, Seneca County, NY- no source - but - Gardner has them married 8 Jul 1821 at 1st Pres Ch at Caldwell; son Charles (6 Mar 1820-29Sep1881 Delaware Cty, OH) married 3 Feb 1848 Mary Elizabeth Saunders (8 Jul 1829- 27 Apr 1890); had son 13.Silas - no date 14. Emma b 4 Nov 1792 I also have William marrying 2 Harriet Corby in 1821- no further information on her. I find a William Wheton in the Feb 1779 Tax List for Newark Twp., Essex County living at Newark Township (which then extended through West Caldwell and Fairfield to the border of Pine Brook) (p. 035) In addition, in 1787 William Wheaton is listed as a lot owner in the Ashfield Tract, land between the First and Second Mountains, now the Cedar Grove/Verona area; the Ashfield Tract was a subdivision of the much larger Horse Neck Tract. The original information is from the NJ Archives at Trenton- if you are not familiar with the Ashfield or Horse Neck Tracts let me know and I can send some information. If you are local to Essex County, the reference librarian at the Verona Public Library has information on the Ashfield Tract compiled by Robert Williams, Verona town historian. This tie to the Horse Neck Tract is interesting. If William was born at NJ he was alive during the land riots, which started somewhere in the Verona area. If he ended up owning part of the Ashfield Tract he might have been on the side of the Proprietors, or simply came later. I think he must have come later as I do not find his name (or that of anyone who might have been his father) on a number of old documents: 1670 Newark Census 1696 Essex County Quit Rent list A List of the Freeholders in the County of Essex: 1 Sep 1755 1750 Records Orange Church Subscribers various documents related to prosecution of the Elizabethtown Associates and the Horse Neck Rioters My best guess is he arrived in Essex County ca 1778, having been born elsewhere. Seems like an odd time to immigrate here, but a number of Hessian soldiers came and stayed- and, or course, others did too. Does this help with either the LI or NE Wheatons? Thanks for the excuse to rummage through some old files! Please keep me updated on your progress. I am very interested in all the families who passed through the Caldwells from early NJ settlement to WW1.

At present my sister CLOE's children are in a state of bondage, and if any of them, by being in a 'state of bondage,' cannot enjoy the free and sole use of their legacy; their share, whether male or female, to be equally divided amongst the legatees, that can claim their share.

Wilson, Thank you for your note re the WADES. Sounds like it is worth my devoting more time to them. I'm not related to Frank Porter. Porter is my married name; my husband's family was from the Buffalo NY area and before that from Ohio. Beverly

The Wade family is an old Essex family. They had land in the South Orange area in the 1690s. Are you any connection to Frank Porter who married Mabel Ashby in Livingston? Wilson Brown

Anyone working with the WADE line in Essex County? After James White died, Elizabeth Tompkins married John Wade, a shoemaker. This was probably about 1857. He was a widower with two children. Together they had a daughter Sarah. I am particularly interested in Elizabeth Tompkins White Wade, because I believe she helped raise her brother my great grandfather, Isaac Hubert Tompkins, whose mother, Nancy Condit Tompkins, died in childbirth. Thanks. Beverly Fearn Porter, Columbia, MD

Is anyone working with the WHITE line in Essex county? Elizabeth Tompkins, b 1829, the daughter of Isaac Tompkins and Nancy Condit married James White about 1848. They had two children, Charlotte, named after Elizabeth's sister who died in 1846 at age 20, and Henry. Elizabeth will marry again after James death, as will be noted in my next WADE message Beverly Fearn Porter, Columbia, MD

Although our region was predominately Quaker, Hutchinson claimed that the Presbyterians preceded them in Allentown proper. Advertisement The Presbyterian Church, which was the earliest religious organization at Allentown, was first located on the site of the old graveyard which still exists in the rear and on the southerly side of Main Street. This location was abandoned in 1756, when a brick building was erected on the one acre lot conveyed by William Lawrence in 1745. Rev. Charles McKnight, who, since 1744, had been the pastor both here and at Cranbury, on the erection of the new building resigned his charge at Cranbury and removed thence to Allentown, where he occupied the parsonage farm, which had then been recently acquired. He was a young man, licensed in 1741: married in 1746. David Brainerd, in his journal, under date of June 18, 1745, says: "In the afternoon came to place called Cranbury, and meeting with a serious minister (Mr. McKnight), lodged with him." He [McKnight] remained at Allentown until 1766, and appears to have prospered in a wordly sense, being taxed in 1758 for 200 acres of land, and in 1767, when the Allentown Mills were sold by sheriff as the property of James English, Junr. [father of revolutionary war heroine Jinnie Jackson], deceased, it was at the suit of Stoffil Longstreet for L1,000, and Charles McKight for L674. In 1767, he was settled as pastor of the churches at Shrewsbury and Middletown Point (Matawan), where, in the revolutionary war he made himself so obnoxious to the British that his church was burned, and himself seized and confined in one of the prison ships in New York Harbor, which, although soon released, caused his death shortly afterwards. He died in New York, Jan. 1, 1778, and was buried in Trinity Churchyard, where his grave may still be seen. >From 1766 to 1774 the church had no settled pastor, although the Rev. William Schenck, a graduate of Princeton, sometimes preached here and for the last two years of that time appears to have been (with occasional interruptions) a sort of stated supply, until, in 1774, he was regularly called to the pastorate. He was born in Monmouth County, near Marlboro, in 1740, and was a pupil of Rev. William Tennet, at Freehold. He remained here till 1778, when he removed to South Hampton, Pa. An account of him by one of his descendants says he was driven out of the state by the British in 1777. After other changes he removed in 1817 from Newark N.J. to Franklin, Ohio, where he died, at the home of his son, Gen. William C. Schenck, in 1823, aged 83 years. Hon. Robert C. Schenck, who entered Congress in 1843 and was United States Minister to Great Britain in the administration of President Grant, was his grandson. August 4, 1779, Rev. George Faitout was installed as pastor at Allentown, and also at Nottingham, to which charge he was to give a third of his time. He remained about two years. Little is known of him, but the minutes of Presbytery granting his request for dismissal, indicate that his pastorate, for some cause, had not been a success. He married Euphemia Titus, by a license dated November 4, 1779, and is then described as "of Monmouth County." In 1783, he appears to have been located at Pittsgrove, Salem County, where he preached the funeral sermon of Catherine, widow of the Rev. William Tennet, who died there, September 1, of that year. The next incumbent was the Rev. Joseph Clark, to whom a call was extended in the spring of 1784. He was born in Elizabethtown, N.J., October 21, 1751, and while a carpenters apprentice, studying at night, by the light of a pine knot, in two years fitted himself to enter the junior class at Princeton. When the war broke out he became a soldier, a private in Captain Samuel Stout's company of Hunterdon militia. When the war was over the returned to Princeton, graduated in 1781, and was licensed to preach in 1783. He remained at Allentown until 1796, when he removed to New Brunswick as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in that city. He died there in 1813. Hew carried away with him the records of the church at Allentown, and they were all burned when soon afterward his dwelling was destroyed by fire. For four years the pulpit was again vacant, and then, in 1800, the Rev. John Cornell became the pastor. He was born at Northampton, Pa. in 1774, and married Maria, daughter of Gen. Frederick Frelinghuysen of Somerset County N.J. who is mentioned as a woman of unusual ability and excellence, and as having been the founder of the first Sunday School in this locality. Mr. Cornell is said to have been a man of much personal dignity, a fine classical scholar, and an excellent preacher, but his pastorate of twenty years does not appear to have been to the advantage of the church, doubtless owing to the increasingly intemperate habits of the pastor, which resulted in the dissolution of the pastoral relation, and he removed to take charge of a classical school, first to Somerville and later to Millstone, Somerset County, at which latter place he died in 1835. A farm on the Yardville Road [opposite Merrick Rd.], about two miles west from Allentown, containing 216 acres, which he bought of Randal Robbins and wife, March 25, 1812, for $8,000, remained in his family as late as 1847, and is still know as "the Cornell Farm." The northerly part of it is now in the possession of Benjamin F. Stelle, and the southerly part, on which the original buildings were located, was until recently owned by Sarah B., wife of Washington P. Taylor. It is the same which was the homestead farm of Samuel Allen till his death in 1777. December 6, 1820, Rev. Henry Perkins was installed as pastor, and so continued until 1864, when the infirmities of age necessitated his retirement. His successors have been: Rev. Kneeland P. Ketcham, 1864-1871; Rev. Lawarence M. Colfelt, 1872-1874; Rev. George Swain, 1874-1912; and Rev. H.B. Strock, who is the present [1914] incumbent. The Presbyterian Church is given exceptional prominence in these pages because it was the only religious organization in Allentown during colonial times, and for many years after the revolutionary war. In the beginning it must have been very weak, for the meager population was made up mostly of Quakers, who had no sympathy or support to give to "steeple houses" or hireling priests or ministers." Nevertheless, it seems to have prospered from its birth, and thirty years afterward was able to provide its pastor with a farm of more than 200 acres for his maintenance. Of those who were responsible for its origin and support in its infancy, only a few names are known, but among them were Robert and James English, John Chambers, Tobias Polhemus, Guisbert Hendrickson, Robert Imlay, Henry Harper, James Jackson, Lefford Lefferson, and probably William Lawrence, since he conveyed to the trustees in 1744, for the nominal sum of five shillings, the lot of one acre on which the church now stands.

I have been struggling with a brick wall for many years. I am trying to find a burial place, death date, or death record for Casimir Ostrowsky. My latest revelation is that he lived on Pulaski Street in Newark in 1943. That is 3 years before his death. This death date is a best guess based on a Memorial Plaque that was in my sister in laws posession. Numerous requests to Trenton have come back "no record", but the name has been spelled many ways. I am hoping that someone might be able to tell me the name of a cemetery and/or Catholic Church close to that address. If anyone has any suggestions as to someone that would be willing and able to check death records would also be appreciated. Thanks for your help. Patrice Houck Schadt

Shelly: I checked Anywho.com and there are 13 Schachtel names there. Maybe you could contact one of them. It is so great that you "rescued" these photos. Also checking the census records was really thoughtful of you. Ann In a message dated 5/24/2007 8:06:17 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, cardiels@comcast.net writes: I've "rescued" a group of photographs belonging to the SCHACHTEL Family of New York. The first is a photograph of George SCHACHTEL which was taken at the Edsall Studio in New York City, NY. The photograph was likely taken in the 1880's with George appearing to be in his teens at the time. The second is a photograph of Lena SCHACHTEL, also taken at the Edsall Studio in New York City and again, likely sometime in the 1880's with Lena likely in her teens or 20's at the time. The third photograph is identified as Edna SCHACHTEL and was taken at the Leeson Studio in New York City. This photograph was probably taken in the 1880's as well with Edna just a toddler at the time it was taken. The fourth photograph is also of Edna SCHACHTEL, taken at the Schill Studio in Newark, New Jersey. This photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Edna probably about 6 years old at the time.

[NJESSEX] [w] WIEDMANN, SUTTERLIN I have information from Germany on the background of Gustav Adolf Wiedmann and Caroline Wiedmann nee Sutterlin who emigrated to Newark in 1881. Anyone interested please contact me.

VERDERAMO (sometimes VERDERAME - even in the same family). Wonder how or if the family described below might be related to other VERDERAMO/VERDERAME families in the Essex County area Patsy, Paul, and Tony VERDERAMO arrived in this country separately between 1890 and 1912-13. Other brothers remained in Italy. Their Mother Gelsomina PASTORINA VERDERAMO arrived in 1912; she died 1931.They were from Olevano sul Tusciano, Province of Salerno, Italy. Tony had the nickname "Muzzy" and operated a tavern known as "Muzzy's Beach" on Vally Road, West Orange, (corner of Cary Street) in the 1940's. He died 1948, but the family kept the tavern open for a while longer. Have some information on Patsy and Paul's family, but am descended from Tony and have more information about that family. Tony m. Catherine FILANDINO and had children: Ralph, Catherine, Paul, Viola "Tootsie," Richard, and Jean.
