I am trying to sort out Revolutionary War patriots who bear the name Peter Latourette (may have various spellings). One way I thought I could do this is to verify dates and places of birth. I believe that the following children of Peter and Margaret (Stout) Latourette were born in Readington, Hunterdon County, NJ. Does anyone have records for the following? 1. Cornelius Latourette born: 27 Oct 1778 in Readington, Hunterdon, NJ 2. Jane Latourette born: 1780/1781 in Readington, Hunterdon, NJ 3. Thomas Stout Latourette born: in Readington, Hunterdon, NJ christened: 26 Oct 1788 in Readington, Readington, Hunterdon, NJ 4. Elizabeth Latourette born: 3 Sep 1792 in Readington, Hunterdon, NJ christened: 14 Oct 1792 in Readington, Readington, Hunterdon, NJ 5. Garret Latourette born: 17 Mar 1798 in Readington, NJ christened: 13 May 1798 I am doing this research for a potential member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. If you have this information could you send me a copy of the records as I will need the proofs for her application? I have emailed Jan Alpert directly. Hopefully her email is the same as it was in early 2005. Thank you very much for your help. Reba Schweitzer Queen Creek, AZ

-----Original Message----- "The father was naturalized in PA." Actually the abbreviation "PA" on the census stands for "Papers" and means that the individual filed their declaration of intent to naturalize. It is possible that they never followed through with naturalization. The abbreviation "NA" is used for naturalized aliens. "AL" for aliens who have made no attempt to naturalize.

Hi Ana, I checked Ancestry.com's census images for you, and Alice [Mills] Holcombe appears in the 1930 and 1910 US Census in Lambertville, as being born in England and both her parents were born in England. Tracking back to 1900 US Census, searching for a single woman, born in England in c1880, I found what I assume is her family. All the family members immigrated to USA in 1888. The father was naturalized in PA. They were living at: 58 Franklin St., Lambertville. All the children were single: MILLS: Jonathan, b. May 1842 - age 58, b. England - married 40 yrs - Paving Block Maker Eliza Jan. 1859 41 " " Mary Mar. 1872 28 b. England George Dec. 1876 23 Scotland - Paving Block Maker Nellie Sep. 1879 20 Scotland ALICE Dec. 1881 19 England In the 1920 Census - at the same address: 58 Franklin St., Lambertville was: HOLCOMBE: Walter age 42 b. NJ Nellie (wife) 39 Scotland Immigrated 1888 Catherine E. 9 NJ Kenneth E. 4-9/12 NJ MILLS, George 55 Scotland (brother) Immigrated 1888 It would seem Nellie and Alice married brothers Walter & Chester Holcombe. The Immigration records for New York Passenger Lists show Jonathan Mills and family arrived in NY on 2 July 1888 aboard the "Schiedam", which departed Amsterdam, Netherlands. The family is listed as: MILLS: Jonathan 45 Farmer Elisa 47 Emma 16 Servant Mary 14 Servant John 11 George 9 Ellen 8 ALICE 6 Good luck in the rest of your research ~ Francie ================== -----Original Message----- I'm researching Mills. Actually I've hit the "female ancestor" brick wall. My husband's great-grandmother, Alice. She was born in 1880. She married Chester Holcombe, they had 5 children & she died in 1955. The family is from Lambertville. But I don't know if she was born there or died there. I certainly don't have the name of her parents. But if someone runs into her name, I would love to know. It may be just the jump start I need to start working on this line. Thanks, Ana

I have not done much on the lateral families that relate to MILLS. However, I do seem to have an Isaiah JOHNSON B: 1795 NJ who married Nancy Ann MILLS B: 1798 NJ. She was dau of Joshua V MILLS and Lucy CORLESS. Granted they were of as far as all of you out there research, says Burlington Co. NJ. However, have seen references that Burlington was one time part of the bigger Sussex Co. NJ, or vice versa. Does that help at all? Nancy and Isaiah were married in (sorry to add another county) Monmouth Co. NJ 1819. Pat cw Sorry, I have misplaced that sheet of paper that had the breakdown of how the counties of New Jersey went, from their beginnings. I found it on the front pages of the Census records of 1830 at the LDS Library in West Los Angeles, Ca. so many years ago.

It's nearly certain that the "gh" will be a hard "k" or "g" sound. The Irish (mainly southern) have a soft "gh" in names that will be pronounced like "f", but I've never seen an Irish version of this name.

The JOHNSTON/LOUGHEAD connection is intriguing to me. I know that LOUGHEAD/LOUGHHEAD and ROBINS were connected in Hunterdon Co at the very least as neighbors. And there was a GARRISON (a son of Isaac GARRISON (1797-1888) and Elizabeth METTLER) who moved west and took the surname JOHNSTON. Isaac GARRISON was the son of James GARRISON and Dinah ROBINS. -- Marshall Lake -- [email protected] -- http://mlake.net

There is a Joseph Loughhead buried in the Garrison-Tharp Cemetery, Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon County, NJ on County Road 579. The headstone states he was born January 13, 1820 and he died about 1851. He is listed on the 1850 New Jersey Federal Census for Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon County, page 218, line 20, visitation number 207, age 30, born in Ireland, no occupation listed, with wife Margaret (unknown last name) age 28 born in New Jersey. He is buried in the Garrison-Tharp Cemetery, County Road 579, Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ. In the 1850 census he is living next door to Jonathan Robins who is the 1st cousin of Dinah Robins who owned the property that the Garrison-Tharp Cemetery is on. There is no stone for his wife Margaret in the cemetery. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2007 1:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NJHUNTER] How to pronounce the name "Loughead" Hello, all, Can anyone tell me how to pronounce the name "Loughead"?

Re the pronunciation of "Loughead", my guess would be "Lockeed", based on the pronunciation of the city in County Galway Ireland, Loughrea, which I know to be pronounced "Lockree". Loughead may be the original spelling of the the aeronautics manufacturer, Lockheed. Francie

Folks, This is no longer a topic for the Hunterdon County mail list. Rootsweb has a mail list to deal with copyright issues if you want to continue this discussion. Thank Al Sinclair List Administrator

I agree with Teresa in Iowa, see her response below regarding the copyright issue for reprinting newspaper articles. I am currently working on the project to computerize items from the defunct Hunterdon Republican newspaper which published from 1856 to around 1951. I currently have a release from the Hunterdon County Democrat which "supposedly" purchased the rights to the Hunterdon Republican when it went out of business. But, they weren't sure if in fact they held the copyright, rights. So I have requested from the US Copyright Office a search for who does own said copyright. It costs $ 150.00 for a one hour search with a response time of 6-8 weeks. It is now week 4 and no response yet. Thus part of this project is on hold while waiting for resolution of the copyright issue. In the meantime, I am photographing (digital) the microfilm that was so graciously provided to me (on loan) by the Hunterdon County Library. The years 1929 through 1938 have been completed and microfilm for the years up to 1951 are on hand to be photographed in the next couple of months. When these are completed they will be returned to the library and a request for 1900 to 1928 will be made. Most of these years up to around 1923 or so are in the public domain and these will probably be put on the Internet first. Or when the copyright issue is resolved, I'll put the completed years up. Eventually, the years 1856 to 1899 will be requested and completed. Time estimate for the project which will include a summary of selected items from the weekly newspaper with index of all names cited: 10 years to complete! The reason the copyright issue is so critical to this project is because the free Web site - NJGenWeb - will not allow material that does not have copyright clearance to be put on their free sites. Since this project will provide free access to the data by the public and will remain on the Internet after I complete updating, it is important to get this material up to a site that I do not have to fund and maintain after my demise. For further information on copyright regulations, go to: http://www.copyright.gov/ and do some research.

Perhaps someone knows a copyright attorney, who could probably clear this up in 2 seconds. It is my undersetanding that most published materials enter the public domain after X amount of years. That is the reason anyone can publish, say, Shakespeare. I believe the time period may be 75 years, but I am not sure, and I am also not sure about the application to newspapers.
