Sarah H Lion and Asa Prior Marriage Film 0938249,Bergen Co. Marriages,p 63 New Prospect, now Waldwick Methodist Episcopal Church. 868245 item 8 RDC ofBergen marriages extracted, typed p26 Asa Prior married to Sarah H Lion on Sept 12, 1820 He of Heresides NY she of Jersey Does anyone know any more about this couple or their family? Thank you,

Here's what I know, have documented: Peter LEVEY married Catherine GREY in St. John's Catholic Church 7/3/1853. They had three children: Ellen LEVEY married William F. Carson in 1882, St. James Catholic Church; Bernard LEVEY married Ellen CULLIGAN in 1882 , as above; Sarah LEVEY married William P. Stapleton in 1889 (Sarah & William are the grandparents of Vivian Stapleton Blaine - star of Guys and Dolls) They all lived on Gotthardt St or Elm Road, Down Neck. 1905 New Jersey census - Bernard says his father Peter born in Conn, yet this is not the case on 1915 NJ Census - where Peter is born in NJ. 1860, 1870 and 1880 Fed Census list Peter being born in NJ. 1860 Fed Census (taken in Millburn) shows Peter with family. Wouldn't doubt they lived there upon arrival in the states --- cannot find/have no info on Peter's naturalization or arrival dates. Would appreciate any info on this LEVEY family.......(or STAPLETON family). Thanx, Jack jaxon2@juno.com

Can someone with access to the 1930 Newark census have a look for Charles Uskurink? Someone found him in that census for me and sent me a copy of the image but it's so blurry I can't read what it says. Thanks! Kathy

Hi Gail! We corresponded before regarding a picture you had of my mother Ruth Joy and my aunt Anna Peer. I know this name, again from my mother, but can't put my finger on how or why. My mother knew Lemberts/Lamberts from East Orange, where she lived in early 1900's (she b. 1911, married by 1930). If i get my senile brain to memory lane, i will email you again. Hope you are well.

Next letter in our alpha-surname posting project is the letter 'M'. We have reached the half-way point. I thought about breaking out the Mc's and Mac's but decided to keep it all together. So please start posting your M's, Mc's, Mac's, .... RULES: ======================================= 1. Your subject line: [NJESSEX] [M] SURNAME - city So if you are researching the surname MILLER in Newark your subject line should read [NJESSEX] [M] MILLER- Newark or if you have a timeframe it could also be [NJESSEX] [M] MILLER - Newark (1880-1900) 2. Maximum time devoted to a single letter with be 1 week 3. Minimum time will be 48-hours if there's not a lot of activity or response 4. Surnames should be all CAPS to stand out 5. If you have a long surname then keep the subject line short. Long subject lines will get cut-off by your email program. Reserve important details for the text in the body. 6. Body - be precise. List pertinent names, dates, events, questions in the body text. 7. Important: list dates/years if known. Your John Anderson born in 1900 will not be the same as someone elses John Anderson born in 1875. But without any dates noone will know. 8. When replying about any NAME asked for, reply to the LIST, not just to the sender. Members who may have ancillary connections, will get the benefit. And we'll make new friends as well! 9. Finally, close your email with your name and your email address. 10. HAVE FUN !!!!!! If you have any questions, PLEASE, don't hesitate to contact me. Have fun posting!

___________________________________________ Subj: [NJUNION] 1656 Map Date: 3/30/2007 4:18:26 P.M. CDT From: a.d.buckingham@verizon.net To: njunion@rootsweb.com, njessex@rootsweb.com .... Hello All, I just came across a 1656 map of NJ that may be of interest to some of you. I scanned it and put it online at _http://www.midatlanticarchives.com_ (http://www.midatlanticarchives.com) ..... ___________________________________________ To Alan et al. from John (in metro Chicago)--> I continue to feel that your scanning and placing online of old maps and books is a very fine contribution to genealogy However, as I already said to you privately a few months ago, Alan, if you fail to give us a few clues as to where you found these maps or fail to provide the correct titles (also original publication dates) of the books you scanned, I feel the value of your contribution is substantially reduced-- or essentially lost. How can we find books in your website that you list only by SUBTITLES (typically publication series numbers) that may well be correct, but that reveal NOTHING about the book's subject matter. Based on Dave Kane's recent post, maybe your scanned 1656 NJ map (http://www.midatlanticarchives.com/maps_nj_statewide/new_jersey_1656.html) is directly from a redrawn version in the Jeremiah Johnson book of 1850. If not, WHERE?? Incidentally, Adrian Van der Donck may have been a knowledgeable guy. But his 1656 map seems to me to treat the important Delaware River incorrectly as an alternate southwestern outlet of the Hudson River-- seemingly very odd for a late date like 1656. I note also that the confluence of the Delaware & the Schuykill properly does NOT show Philadelphia, which after all was not founded until 1682. Alan's odd title: "Collections of the New Jersey Historical Society Vol. III." Why not more properly title this instead as " Provincial Courts of NJ, with Sketches of the Bench & Bar (1849)", in line with the US Library of Congress catalog-- see below. Alan's odd title: "Collections of the New Jersey Historical Society Vol. IX." Why not title this instead as "NJ Biographical & Genealogical Notes (1916)", see below. A few more JQM notes: the latter book would appear to offer more to the genealogist. However, I get the impression that most people listed in the 1916 volume have NJ roots other than in northeastern NJ. Also, as I pointed out to Alan when he announced he was beginning to scan the 1916 volume, Ancestry.com (Alan was unaware of this then) already offers an online scanned version of this (see http://ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=4558)-- apparently a database created via an automated OCR scanning of the original 1916 book. Alan's version is actually much BETTER, I think-- also more error-proof-- because it duplicates the actual 1916 pages as originally printed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First_ (http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First) Database: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Online Catalog _______________________ Author: Field, Richard Stockton, 1803-1870.

Well, it's been a while since I posted my question and Geralyn so kindly responded. I finally made it to the State archives to look up the birth record for Louisa and John. I am convinced that Louisa Wiegand is my Elizabeth Wiggins. Elizabeth's death record states that she was born on 1/12/1875, and that is also Louisa's birthdate. I found John's birth record, as well as Henry and Bridget's marriage record. Both births and the marriage were recorded in South Orange. Unfortunately, none of the records state Bridget's maiden name. It only appears on Elizabeth's marriage record. I also found Louisa/Elizabeth (via the 1885 NJ census) as a resident of St. Mary's Orphan Asylum in South Orange. I could not find her brother listed anywhere, and I could not find any death record for her parents or brother in Essex county records for the period of 1880-1885. I guess it is quite possible that they didn't die, but for some reason left the county (or state), leaving their daughter behind. My grandmother always said her mother was raised in a convent, but never said exactly why. I found out from my Mother that several children on her side of the family had been in and out of St. Mary's (due to unfortunate family circumstances) about 25-30 years ago. I'm wondering if St. Mary's is still in existence today, and if there are any historical records available.

Searching for relatives of Janet Murray Lessels, born in Scotland mid-1850's (mother Margaret Couston or Coston or Coustan, father William Lessels), immigrated 1881 or 1882 per census, married John Dewar in Jersey City 1882 and lived in Newark/East Orange. 4 daughters: Margaret L Dewar b. 1883, Minnie E Dewar b. 1888, Isabel Jean (or Jean Isabel, per family - my grandmother) b. 1889, Marjorie G Dewar b. 1898. There was an "Uncle Alex" Lesley living in Newark in the early 1940's, but I don't know whether he was a member of the same family as Janet Lessels, or related only by marriage to one of her sisters (I believe Marjorie). One of the daughters married a man named Winne (or Winnie?) and had at least twin daughters named Barbara Janet and Janet Barbara. I have a great deal of information about the descendants of Isabel Jean down to present, and birth and death information for her 3 sisters, but no information about the descendants of the sisters, and none about the family roots in Scotland. Apparently there were maiden ladies still living in Scotland in the 1960's, but the people in my family who were in touch with them are no longer living. Has anyone done any research on this family?

Pat, there was one child, unnamed, baby Lytwin, buried on December 7, 1931, in Woodland Cemetery, Newark. That's all the info we have on this burial. Mary Mary Lish mary.lish@verizon.net -----Original Message----- From: njessex-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:njessex-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jamjak1@aol.com Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 1:27 PM To: njessex@rootsweb.com Subject: [NJESSEX] L Surname; LYTWYN / LITWIN I doubt that there is anyone out there that can help me with my surname but why not take the opportunity anyway. I'm looking for any info on George Lytwyn b. 1892, Austria or Ukraine, emigrated 1910 to NY & his family. Wife Mary Banach, b. 1892, Ukraine, children were John, b. Jan. 1916- Peter, b. July 1923-Stephen,b. Feb. 1919 & Mary, b. July 1925. From what I've been able to gather George & Mary met in NY and married and later moved to Orange, NJ where they had their 4 children. I find them there in the 1920 census. However sometime between 1920 and 1930 George was committed to The Essex County Hospital for the Insane, in Cedar Grove, I believe. George worked for a company in Orange, NJ where they painted watch dials with paint made with radium. There was a huge scandal in the 1920's regarding this company, US Radium. They employed primarily women,that were encouraged to used their mouths and lips to get their brushes to a point so they could paint these delicate numbers on watch dials. Hundreds upon hundreds of women went on to develop severe dental and jaw problems. The owners downplayed the danger of using this paint, while they themselves wore a number of protective coverings. The watches themselves were not dangerous to the public, since such a minute amount of paint was used but in the factory it was all over the place. Women actually glowed in the dark at home. What my grandfathers role in this was, I do not know. I do know he was committed to the hospital during this time and my grandmother changed the spelling of our last name from LITWIN to LYTWYN. If anyone has information on this company or my Lytwyn family I would love to hear from you. Pat Cannella in NJ ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Hello - I am trying to find the death dates/burial location(s) for Richard (b. abt . Ireland 1825) and Ellen Lewis (nee. Adams, b. abt 1831 Ireland), parents of Robert George Lewis (1867 - 1920). The last address I have for Richard was in 1900 census when he and Ellen lived with RG's family at 136 Ridgewood Ave. By 1910 census, RG had moved the family to Whitehouse, but neither Richard or Ellen went along. In 1920, RG had just bought a home on 225 Goldsmith Ave in Newark and Ellen was living next door with RG's sister Sarah M. Swartwout. >From this I presume that Richard died between 1900 and 1910. Ellen died between 1920 and 1930 because she is not listed with Sarah's family in the 1930 census. If anyone has any further information about this family I would appreciate hearing from them. I have some further information about Richard and Ellen's children, basically limited to what is in the censuses, though I do have marriage information about a couple of them. I also havent been able to identify WHERE in Ireland either Richard or Ellen were born, though I know they went first to Scotland before coming to the US in 1854. wade lewis wlewis3@earthlink.net EarthLink Revolves Around You.

Hi, I am looking for informaation and descendents of Patrick LLOYD and Anne McDermid. He was born in Ireland and signed his intention in 1861. Anne was born in NY and they had ten children and he had an out- of -wedlock child, Laura, whose mother was Oconor ( her spelling). They lived in Newark where he worked as a japanner. She died in 1879 and he remarried Alice Vanderbeck HALL in April 26, 1886 He died in 1895. Their children, Anna, Theresa, Dennis, died young. John J. was my husband's grandfather. He was a policeman and detective in Newark. My husband's fataher, Leo, ran track for St. Benedict's School. He died in 1936 and at that time there were a number of cousins but I don't know anything about them. James was married to Julia Devine. She died after 1892 and he remarried Julia Klohs who was a cousin of Jon's wife. Are there any descendents out there. I am sure they are probably living in surround counties if not in Essex.
