Q. Who were the pre-1796 SMITH Families of Bethlehem Township? Q. Who were the parents of Robert SMITH, d. Bethlehem 1813? Robert Smith of Bethlehem died in 1813. At that time, the longest-held portion of his farm had been purchased on 1 May 1796. In that transaction, Robert SMITH was identified as a resident of Bethlehem Township. The lack of an earlier grantee deed in Bethlehem for Robert SMITH specifying a residence other than Bethlehem may indicate that his parents were also residents of Bethlehem. The names of Robert SMITH's eldest sons were William R. SMITH and Joseph SMITH. The remaining sons were named Robert, John, David, and Asher SMITH. Here is the deed for Robert SMITH's earliest known land purchase in Bethlehem: Robert Smith to Peter Hendrickson. Mortgage Deed dated the 1st day of May in the year of our Lord 1796 From Robert Smith of the Township of Bethlehem County of Hunterdon & State of New Jersey To Peter Hendrickson of the Township of mansfield woodhouse County Sussex For all that Tract of Land Situate in the Township of Bethlehem... bounded as follows... to John Baptists land... near William Baless... containing one Hundred and Seventeen & a half acres... The principle Sum Due and Expressed here is one Hundred and Eighty Seven pounds payable agreeable to the conditions of the several Bonds Bearing Equal Date here with Proviso when... Recorded August... 1796.

With many thanks to Dot Williamson, I now have copies of the deeds that I requested in the previous posting provided below.

Some of my contributions to and corrections from the current series on the WILLIAMSON family of Gravesend, Kings Co., NY in "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record" are freely available to all in the WILLIAMSON documents at www.perry.streeter.com: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/williamson.pdf or http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/WMSON.TXT Now that the ancestry of my "grandfather" Abraham WILLIAMSON has been fairly well researched, I am turning my attention to the ancestry of his wife, my "grandmother," Sarah (SMITH) WILLIAMSON, dau. of Robert & Jemima (-----) SMITH of Bethlehem Township. What little I currently know of Sarah's ancestry is documented here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/smith-robert.pdf or http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/SMITH-R.TXT Thanks to my cousin Dot Williamson, I have some of her research notes available for research follow-up. I would be extremely grateful to anyone who would be willing to obtain photocopies of the following documents for me from the Hunterdon County Surrogate Court and County Clerk: Docket 06968 This docket refers Abraham Williamson, a child of John Williamson of Bethlehem Township (who d. 1838) who married Sarah Smith, a child of Robert Smith Sr. of Bethlehem Township (who d. 18 Feb 1812 leaving a widow and 10 children). I am assuming that the following documents are related to this docket: Deeds Book 27, pages 318 & 323 Book 78, page 149 Mortgage Book 2, page 197 Ideally, Robert Smith's first grantee deed in Bethlehem would include a phrase indicating his prior residence or perhaps he is named in his unknown father's will. Of course, I will gladly reimburse a volunteer for any photocopying, postage, gas, parking, etc. expenses that may be incurred in assisting me. Please contact me beforehand to ensure that multiple volunteers do not make any redundant efforts. Thank you in advance for your time & efforts--they are sincerely appreciated!

OK You All, I've been following you with the Bellis family line, but now you have brought in the Drakes. I'm stuck dead in my tracks with a John Drake that showed up in Green in Sussex County (Which was once Hunterdon I believe) He was married to a Ann Collins. According to my great aunt who was the family historian, he died inestate abt 1842. I found his inventory with my GGGGrandfather's signiture on it. I have been trying to locate where he may have been burried or anything about him. I understand he was a Colonel but from where he got that title I do not know. He may have come from Morris Co. as that's where my GGGgrandfather Timothy H. Cook came from. John Drake married Ann Collins and they had 7 children, Joseph Collins Drake b1812 m. Mary............,Nathanil Drake b1809 m.Mary Ann , Anna b.1815 m.Jonathan Stackhouse, Debroah b.1796 (who married Timothy H. Cook.) William Drake b.1817 , and Elizabeth M b1816. Drake.m Wm S. Johnson. Anyone with help or suggestions please chime in. I could use the help. Oh yes, thanks for all the tips on STONE CARE. It will come in handy. Ann Brown

As a geologist (and a genealogist), may I add a few comments: Rock weathering is dependent upon many processes, natural and man-made. In general, weathering will depend not only on the type of rock, but also on the direction of grain (or cut). Weathering is affected by natural events, such as amount of rainfall, climate, frost action, sunlight, the overgrowth of vegetative matter, etc. Add to that, smog, acid rain, and auto exhaust, and you've got a chemical stew that can erode any rock in time. Some New England brownstones have lasted over 200 years and are very legible, while some engraved marbles cannot be discerned after 100 years. Some components in granite can weather in as little as 50 years, while some quartz rich slates are very durable in the same time frame. Most importantly,when one studies geology, man's time becomes a negligible aspect; there is nothing anyone can do to make man's achievements last more than a few lifetimes, (the pyramids excepted) and certainly it all becomes academic after tens or hundreds of millions of years! It seems rather silly to me to be concerned with the effect of a one-time application of a mild soap, such as shaving cream, especially when it is rinsed off afterwards. No matter what we do to preserve our human efforts, it all is futile when placed in relation to geologic time. This is not a despondant, nihilistic view, just a realistic one!

Perhaps people will also consider that while shaving cream may not be abrasive (I am not addressing the other issues brought up at the Web site), dragging something across the surface of the stone to wipe off the excess can be.

Hi Ann, The Hixons have 2 spellings in the idex: Hixon and Hixson. They are: Hixon: Abner; Benjamin; Garret; George; Hannah; James; Jediah; John; Joseph; Lemeul; Olive Ann. Hixson: Abraham M.; Garret Q.; Joseph; Levi; Noah; William; William T. The only John is listed without a middle initial, and he is on page 87. James, Jediah, John, Joseph are all listed on that page showing their regiments in the Revolutionary War. On the off-chance that they are from the same family, Joseph has 2 additional page references: 192 and 347.
