Hello All: New to the List. My name is Jim Booth and I am from Orange County, N. Y. Does anyone on this list plan on doing any research at the Essex County Surrogate's Office at Newark in the immediate future??? I could use some assistance with a quick look-up. I am trying to see if a Joseph and Charlotte Booth who lived at Orange in the 1850 Census and Newark city in the 1860 Census are the parents of my great great great grandfather Enos Booth. I got a copy of the original will this past Friday in Trenton. However, no one else is mentioned other than the wife Charlotte. I know that sometimes the Application for Probate (i think thats what it is called) lists all people who would be entitled to a share of the estate. This paperwork is usually only found at the county and not in Trenton. Trying to see what names would have been filed by the executrix (Charlotte Booth) of Joseph's will. Enos would have been deceased by the time Joseph died in 1867. However, i have seen in such instances that the children of the decedents deceased child would be mentioned as they would be the next in line heirs. Would like to see if my great great grandfather or the other children of Enos are mentioned. If someone could look this up for me i would appreciate it. The will info is as follows: Name: Joseph Booth Date of Filing/Proving: December 1, 1867 Book "P" Page 104 A number on the top (might be a Trenton filing number) 16425G Charlotte Booth was the executor of the will. Again i am not looking for the will...which i already have. Just need the Application for Probate. I would be very thankful for this info. If anyone knows about this Booth Family, please let me know. Thanks, JIM BOOTH Highland Mills, Orange County, N. Y. [email protected]
