Hi All: In some old notes taken from an LDS film # 0806996 , 1795-1900 Hunterdon Co., Courthouse Clerks Office Records..Preacher's & JP's? last name's BO_DU marriages - September 12, 1818- Jacob Tiger of Lebanon, NJ to Marcy ( Mon?) Cramer, by Mathias Crator, Jr. Hope that may help, Lorrie

Hello Listers, I have been researching the DAVENPORT family in Hunterdon County in the early to middle 1800's. I know that Samuel DAVENPORT and Lucinda MYERS were married in January 1840 by Rev. George Hitchens who I believe ministered at the Methodist Episcopal Church of Quakertown. Samuel & Lucinda Davenport are my great grandparents. They are also buried in Quakertown. Since most, if not all, their lives were spent in that area I would like to locate church records from that time period. Any baptisms, deaths, and marriages of Davenports or Myers may give me one little piece of information that could lead to a crack in my brick wall. Samuel Davenport's parents are Peter Davenport & Ann COLE. That's all I know about them so I am also looking for any other information to continue my search. Does anyone know if these early church records are available? and if so, where? and how?

I am interested in the parents of Mary Wyckoff below. Could she be the daughter of Peter Wyckoff and ? Vandervoort of Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon, NJ? Thanks.

Donna, I consulted the Hagstrom map, and you are correct. This stretch of Little York - Mount Pleasant Road, Route 519, is the Holland / Alexandria border. Thanks for setting me straight! Beverly G.

Unless boundaries have changed in the last 25 years - I grew up in Mt. Pleasant and the Alexandria First Presbyterian Church is actually on the Holland Twp side and the cemetery is on the Alexandria Twp side. The road is between the two twps.

Is there anywhere that there is a map, on line, of the Hunterdon, Sussex counties with towns and townships for the period before 1825. Jim Dailey Hope Mills, NC

Jan, The Mount Pleasant church is listed on NJ Churchscape as "Alexandria Presbyterian Church at Mount Pleasant". The location of the church is reflected as Holland Township, and this is consistent with Snell's book. Today, the location is Alexandria Township. Borders shifted over the years.

If you are a member of the Hunterdon Historical Society you received a newsletter announcing the program with the annual meeting April 3. Dr. Frank Greenagel will be speaking on his photographic collection of old Churches in Hunterdon Co. The web site listed is incorrect. By quering Dr. Greenagel on Google I found the site. He doesn't have all the churches in Hunterdon Co. (for example Mt. Pleasant in Alexandria Twp wasn't there) but he has 100 with pictures. http://njchurchscape.com/county-list.html For people living out of state like myself this is a wonderful site. Happy hunting.

Depending on when your ancestors arrived, there may be naturalization records. I found one for my ancestor in the archives at the Hall of Records in Flemington [County Clerk's Office next to the old Court House]. He applied in 1836 and the final papers were signed and duly recorded in 1838. It contained a wealth of information including where he was born in England! The reference for this was one of the books by Phyllis D'Autrechy on old records of Hunterdon County - not sure of the exact name! Regards, Bill

Hi, Lilly! When I found out that the earlier Hunterdon County census records had been destroyed by fire, I, too, was crushed!! ( I am trying to find out from which country my Jobs family lived , before coming to America.) For the past several years, I have been trying to break through my brick wall in Flemington, Hunterdon County, New Jersey! When my husband and I visited the area, we were able to find a few leads at the Hunterdon County Historical Society in Flemington. In a book, entitled, "Marriage Records of Hunterdon County, New Jersey 1795-1875," we were able to find the marriage date and place of my husband's gggg grandparents. In a book entitled, "Early Germans of New Jersey," found on Ancestry.com, we were able to discover the town in which a few ancestors lived at the time of their deaths, as well as when their wills were written. There is also a Tax List book for the 1795-1875 time frame. Hope this helps a bit!

Ancestry.com has some tax lists online in the census collection, search specifically in the records entitled "New Jersey Census, 1772-1890." I have seen Bethlehem Twsp. in 1793 (but as part of Essex County) and Bridgewater and Hillsborough, both Somerset, in the 1805 and 1806 tax lists. I am not sure what else they have in this category. Here is how Ancestry.com describes this database: Description: This collection contains the following indexes: 1772-1822 Tax Lists Index; 1800 Cumberland County Federal Census Index; 1824-1832 Bergen County - Paterson City; 1830 Federal Census Index; 1840 Federal Census Index; 1840 Pensioners List; 1850 Federal Census Index; 1850 Slave Schedule; 1860 Federal Census Index; 1870 Federal Census Index; 1890 Veterans Schedule; Early Census Index. - John Lilly <malik@scs-net.org> wrote: Thanks to everyone who tried to answer my question.

Dear Marietta, I have been trying to find the answer to your question for several weeks, including sending a personal letter to Mr. Sutton, to which I have received no reply as yet. If you go to the site www.sutton.org there is a notice there that their newsletter has been temporarily suspended due to illness. A couple of people with whom I have corresponded feel that this might be the problem. I will be heartbroken if Dennis' work such as the abstracts from the Hunterdon Co. Democrat are lost forever. I pray that this is something that is just temporary. Kay
