I used to live in Flemington just off Rt. 523 and can tell you that you can get to Mt. Airy several ways - if you go down 523 which runs southwest from Flemington you take Cemetery Road to the left before you get to Stockton on the Delaware River - it will go right into Mt. Airy crossing over Rt. 202. You can get to Mt. Airy from Lambertville on the Delaware River on 202 - or 179 - it is halfway between Ringoes and Lambertville where Cemetery Road meets Harborton Rd. coming from the other direction....

Hi, I have no information on Edward and Elizabeth Titus---however, the Mary Elizabeth Akers who was living with them is almost certainly the daughter of Uriah Akers and Elizabeth Clossen (Clawson). She later married an Edward P. Leonard and lived in Lambertville. I do believe that the the Titus, Akers and Wilson families, and definitely the Holcomb(e) family were all connected, but I do not believe that Sarah was a sister to Mary Elizabeth. Mary Elizabeth did have a sister Sarah Catherine Akers, who was my great-grandmother. In 1850, she was living in Lambertville, in the home of George B. Holcomb and his wife Louisa (sp. Lewisa in the census). Uriah and Elizabeth Akers had apparently fallen on hard times and had farmed their children out to connected families, until they could get back on their feet again.

Can't find anything on the census record but then in 1840 you only have head of household listed. Knowing his father's first name would help. Do you have his record of death? If not, that should be available at the NJ State Archives. That might give you his Dad's first name and you may be able to locate someone in the same area having a 14 year old son in 1840. It wouldn't be a definite but would give you an area to search.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the list. I'm a resident of Hunterdon Co. but not from here. We have lived here for about 4 years coming from Missouri and Oklahoma. I am also a member of the local DAR Chapter - Old White House - General Frelinghuysen - Colonel Lowrey Chapter in Whitehouse Sta, NJ. I have photographed pretty much all the Whitehouse Station (Readington Twp.) Cemeteries and now working on Lebanon, I forget that Twp. name. Just finished photographing the "Lebanon Ref. Church Cem." new yard. I still haven't located the old yard. I got directions from someone the other day but forgot them when I went out looking. While looking for the old yard, I drove right past the cemetery next to the Round Valley Methodist Church. I took about 100 photo's of this cemetery. Later I called the church secretary and she said it was Union Cemetery and not part of the church. She gave me a name of the trustee. I called the trustee looking for a transcription and there isn't one. All the old records are on index type cards and plot books. I will do my best at transcribing this cemetery but its going to be difficult. He said when I have questions, he will bring his index card box to the store he works and I can look at them. So my question to folks out there is if you have any relatives buried in this cemetery, please let me know or post them on findagrave.com. That is where I post all my photos and transcriptions. Or check them later to see if I made any errors. Some of these stones are very difficult to read. This is a very large cemetery, probably 2,000 + stones here. It will probably take me 6 months to finish. I have 3 small children in tow. -- -Melinda Pennington

Another thought on the "Blue Mountains". Ringoes is not that far from Blawenburg in Somerset County--right in the Sourland Mountains area. The town of Blawenburg was founded by Hendrick and John Blauw who had mills there on the Great Road. The name Blauw over the years has come down in various spellings. One of the main spellings is now "Blue". The association for the descendents is the National Blue Family Association (NBFA) which holds bi-annual reunions in Romney, West Virginia where descendent John Blue settled after moving with his family there from Somerset County. If one called the area of the Sourland Mountain area that was near Blawenburg the "Blue Mountain" because of it's proximity to Blawenburg, it is not that much of a stretch to think that people from Ringoes would go there to hunt as it is not that far, and today is still a wilderness area (Sourland Nature Preserve).

To everyone who responded, thank you very much. Yes there are Blue Mountains in New Jersey as well as in Pennsylvania! Wikepedia has a nice article on the Pennsylvania ridge and notes that it runs into New Jersey. It is part of the Kittatinny mountain range. By coincidence, I found an article written in 1885 which notes the Blue Mountains in New Jersey as running from the Delaware Water Gap over to the falls on the Passaic River. See: http://www.antiquemapsandprints.com/usa-newjersey.htm These mountains would be close enough for the 2 hunters from Bloomsbury, noted in the Hunterdon Republican article, to travel to. These 2 men had also taken fishing trips together to Pennsylvania in past newspaper items. This still leaves the Ringoes group's excursion by wagon to the Blue Mountains in doubt. Since the time frame was not given in the item, it would be difficult to assume that they travelled some 40 or 50 miles up to Northern New Jersey for their outing. We will probably never know. However, I have sent an email to the Park Ranger for the Sourland Mountain Preserve and perhaps an answer is forthcoming!? I Googled ["Blue Mountains" "Sourland Mountains"] and got 2 hits. Both of them where in Australia or New Zealand! Again, thanks for all who responded, if I get anything further, I'll post it!

OK, Linda, thanks for the reply and I've got one for you. There is a Mt. Airy located between Ringoes and Lambertville with which I am familiar since I lived a couple of miles away when I lived in New Jersey before coming down here to Florida. Since you live up around Bloomsbury, have you ever heard of a "Mount Airy" that is located somewhere in northern Hunterdon County. The Bloomsbury and sometimes the Glen Gardner correspondents in the old Hunterdon Republican newspaper frequently mention people who live in this location. The book "Hunterdon Place Names" by Phyllis B. D'Autrechy only references the southern location.

To everyone who responded, thank you very much. Yes there are Blue Mountains in New Jersey as well as in Pennsylvania! Wikepedia has a nice article on the Pennsylvania ridge and notes that it runs into New Jersey. It is part of the Kittatinny mountain range. By coincidence, I found an article written in 1885 which notes the Blue Mountains in New Jersey as running from the Delaware Water Gap over to the falls on the Passaic River. See: http://www.antiquemapsandprints.com/usa-newjersey.htm These mountains would be close enough for the 2 hunters from Bloomsbury, noted in the Hunterdon Republican article, to travel to. These 2 men had also taken fishing trips together to Pennsylvania in past newspaper items. This still leaves the Ringoes group's excursion by wagon to the Blue Mountains in doubt. Since the time frame was not given in the item, it would be difficult to assume that they travelled some 40 or 50 miles up to Northern New Jersey for their outing. We will probably never know. However, I have sent an email to the Park Ranger for the Sourland Mountain Preserve and perhaps an answer is forthcoming!? I Googled ["Blue Mountains" "Sourland Mountains"] and got 2 hits. Both of them where in Australia or New Zealand! Again, thanks for all who responded, if I get anything further, I'll post it! MrBill

Bill, I found a reference to the Blue Mountains in Marion Nicholl Rawson', Under the Blue Hills, Scotch Plains, NJ. Unfortunately, I don't have the complete book but excerpts. It discusses the establishment of a church in Scotch Plains which was a breakaway from the church in Piscataway in 1747. It talks about the various families who met there and in one reference it says: ... the Sutton's from westwardly over the Blue Mountains. The family family mentioned appear mostly those of Rev. David Sutton who lived in Basking Ridge. Given this, a westward movement would have them going over the Watchung's.
