Hi Joan, I've seen several people who have been born and died on the same month and day. My mother-in-law was married on her husband's birthday. That was very common in order to celebrate two things on the same day. Unfortunately for her it was September 11th: September 11, 1908 (day he was born) and Sept. 11, 1937 (day they were married). Also it was common to get married on a holiday like Christmas and July 4th because everyone was available on those days.

Cindy, This is very helpful! I have noticed "Hopewell" in other states and it has always generated a question mark in the back of my mind as to whether or not there was a relationship to Hopewell, NJ. My uneducated conclusion was that the word may have had a generic religious meaning. Interestingly enough, my ancestor Philip BELLIS(felt) (b. circa 1793 in NJ), lived for awhile in Nicholas Co KY, near Bourbon Co, along Somerset creek. His brother-in-law was Abraham DORLAND, s/o Johannes DORLANDT (b. 1740 Harlingen, Somerset Co NJ) and Catherine VanLIEW. Johannes was baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church, and I notice from online databases that there were some DORLAND cousins buried in the "Hopewell Old School Baptist Meeting House Cemetery". About 23 miles from my Philip's KY land is the capital of Bourbon Co. It was the site of pioneer Huston's (Houston's) Station, was renamed "Hopewell" circa 1789, and is today Paris. I have received info from KYBOURBO listers who advise that the early settlers of Paris came from Hopewell, Cumberland Co PA, but it is not apparent that these folks, as a group, were Quakers, although individuals may have been. So it seems this Hopewell, KY, was simply named after the settler's PA hometown. Will need to review NJ/PA/VA Quaker meeting records to see what I might find... Thanks again, Roz BELLIS Alexandria VA -----Original Message----- From: Cinda Justice [mailto:calj@bright.net] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 8:52 AM To: NJHUNTER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] BELLIS farm sold to Enoch W. DRAKE in 1897 -- Andr ew BELLIS at Hopewell Meeting House Roz, Hopewell Meeting was a major Quaker group. And the interesting thing about it was that when folks moved away they began another group and called it Hopewell. You will find many locations in many states with the same name that held Quaker meetings (i.e. Hopewell Friends of Frederick Co. VA came from NJ). Their early "churches" were always called "Meetings" and the records for Quakers are wonderful but you need some help learning to read them. There are many books out there that give direction and help but the one I like is Our Quaker Ancestors by Ellen Thomas Berry and David Allen Berry written in 1966. Later when the Methodist faith was gathering momentum in the US, they also called there worship "Meetings". Many Quakers became Methodist in the early 1800's as they moved west and south. The largest collection of these Quaker records is housed at Friends Historical Library, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. A few things to remember about them is: all their children were taught to read and write, they married by standing in front of their members and reciting their own made up vows (so often there is no record except in the Quaker records), and early, they did not believe in having monuments placed on graves (so it is often difficult to find them in cemeteries). One neat thing about them was each meeting had a recorder and they kept track of when a person left their group and where they went. And if they came to a new "meeting" they would tell from whence they came. They listed all the attendants at a wedding and they gave the names of those disowned and why. I have found it very helpful to "fill in" information about the time my ancestors lived by searching for and reading histories of the US written before 1900. I like the one written by Ridpath.

Dear Carol, Dave, Marfy, Gary and others, Well, Dave anyway :-) this is from Ruth in ILL who has the Marshall / Opdycke relation sent to you... if you are related here, as I said I have MANY relation back in Hunterdon Co. well MYERS is another of them. My ggg grandfather, Jacob Marshall (father of the Mary who married C.C. Opdycke) married Sarah Cain, whose mother was Anna Myers (mar. John B. Cain, Sr.) and Anna's parents were Albertus and Anna Hahn Myers :-) SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO those of you who are reading here are in connection to another set of LOTS of cousins in Illinois and beyond. Any and all of you PLEASE write and I can get you in touch with several others who are working on the Myers lines as well. Thank you for the info and perhaps the many heads can make more connections. We had nothing beyond Albertus as to siblings or parents on this end. It was sort of a "dead end" here. Ruth in ILL

Hi all, My Marshall, Golden, & Cain families were basically Baptist and carried that with them here to Illinois, Rock Is. Co. where they began a church in Cordova. The church is still holding services today. Ruth in IL

The cost for copies and postage will be refunded. Respectfully, Darrel R. Bell Florida

Hi Pam, I know the dates of death are correct from the records of death and family history that was passed down to me. John's wife died May 22, 1928 also. It was a sad month for the family. John's date of birth as recorded on the death record I believe to be incorrect. I don't think his daughter, the informant, was with it either because she had just lost her mother and father who were living with her and I'm sure she cared for them during their last days, or because of her own problems. She also listed his parents as Aron Davenport & Laura Myers which led me on a long fruitless search for many years. From John's Civil War papers I figure that he was born in August of 1843 but that is still close. Lafayette was living John and his wife, Elizabeth, and listed as "brother" in the 1920 census. Thanks for any information you can give me on any of this Davenport group --- from John and his brothers and sisters back to their grandparents Peter Davenport and Ann Cole. I really am aiming at connecting to the Humphrey Davenport line. By DNA testing I know that I do but haven't as yet found the connection. Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pamelyn P.

Hi Carol, Thank you for the list of children for Samuel and Lucinda. I'll look for something on John W. who died in 1928 on the same day and month of his birth. Also the death of his brother Lafayette the following day??? sounds too coincidental. Will let you know if there is something for John W. and Lafayette Davenport in 1928.

Hi Janet, I'll gladly share whatever I have on Abraham. That's what this is all about. Without sharing we'd all be knocking our heads against brick walls. I have a copy of Abraham's death record. He died on 7 Jan 1898 in Quakertown which was also his residence at the time of death. His age is given as 76 which would make his dob 1822 or 1823. From the Hunterdon County Democrat he was married to Hannah Swallow on 14 Mar 1849. I have a copy of Hannah's will which was probated June 12, 1891. It is interesting that her son Albert is the executor and chief recipient of the estate. In the will she leaves $10 to her husband Abraham, a list of household items to Minnie (Albert's wife), and the remaining portion of the estate to Albert including "one note held against my husband Abraham Davenport". That's about all I have for Abraham & his family. As I said I am really interested in Samuel and just research the siblings for clues.

Hi Pam, I have been researching the Davenports for over 30 years. Richard Reger and I have been in contact recently and have been sharing information. It is great to add another who is interested in this line. The children of Lucinda Myers and Samuel Davenport that I have been able to determine is primarily from census records from 1850 and 1860. Some have been confirmed by death records if I could find them. Levi Davenport b. 31 Oct 1840 d. 27 Mar 1927 John W. Davenport b. 22 Jun 1843 d. 22 Jun 1928 (as listed on his death record - some question here) Amy E. Davenport b. 1845 (Richard has more on her) Mary S. Davenport b. 1848 William M. Davenport b. 1850 Lafayette Davenport b. 1 Sep 1852 d. 23 June 1928 Lemuel Davenport b. 1855 Kayia (or Kazia) Davenport b. 1857 John is my great grandfather and I have been tracking his siblings as well trying to find more on Samuel and Lucinda in my quest for their parents. Richard & I have pretty much agreed on Lucinda's heritage but Samuel is now our focus. Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pamelyn P.

She died 23 November 1908 and is buried in Locust Grove Cemetery with her husband. They lived in Franklin Twp and had 11 children including a first born, Ellsworth Haver, who died at age 4 and was the first burial in the "new" Locust Grove Cemetery. This is not our family, but I did a little research for my husband's uncle by marriage whose family lived in Franklin Twp for almost 200 years. The Myers, Fox, Coles, Davenport and older Haver information was given to me by Richard Reger who has been actively researching Lucinda Myers Davenport's ancestry for several years. Quakertown has three cemeteries, two in excellent condition. It is a shame to see what has become of the Nixon Craven Burying Ground. We need a program in NJ similar to Adopt-A-Highway called Adopt-A-Cemetery where care would be provided to non-incorporated cemeteries by removing weeds and finding stones that have been covered by earth in the 20th century. It isn't enough to transcribe the inscriptions. Until Locust Grove was founded, the Nixon-Craven families provided an area where Quakertown families who were not Quakers, could bury their dead. This is why most of the Methodists were buried there, and the Baptists were buried in Cherryville Cemetery adjacent to the Cherryville Baptist church and the Presbyterians were buried in Mt. Pleasant. A history of the Quakertown United Methodist Church, founded 1836, was written by Kenneth V. Myers, a Hunterdon Co historian, for their 150th anniversary celebration in 1986 and contains some of this information. It would be interesting to me to have a list of all the children of Samuel and Lucinda Davenport. I had no idea this couple was of interest to anyone except Richard and myself. A nice surprise!
