    1. Re: [NJHUNTER]1850 Knowlton Census
    2. Laurence~~ A lovely gal named Sandy responded to me that Knowlton is in Warren County, NJ. She also sent me the link to the census you mentioned where I too found Isaac Brown & others right by the Kitchens. If this is the census info you are referring to then thanks, but no thanks at the moment. Thank you so much for your offer. Joan

    3. This is from: http://www.newhopepa.com/Lambertville/lam_hist_Gallagher_2.htm HEADQUARTERS NEAR CORYELL'S, June 22d, 1778. To Major General Arnold, SIR: -- I leave the honor to inform you, that I am now in New Jersey, and that nearly all of the troops have passed safely across the river, at Coryell's. The latest intelligence I have, respecting the enemy, was yesterday, from Gen. Dickinson, who said, they were, on that morning, at "Mount Holly" and at "Morristown," but that he has not been able to learn what route they would take from thence; nor was it easy to determine the matter from their situation. They will either proceed to South Amboy, or by way of "Brunswick." We have been a good deal impeded in our march by rainy weather. As soon as we have cleaned the "arms," and can get matters on train, we propose moving towards Princeton, in order to avail ourselves of any favorable occasions that may present themselves, for attacking or engaging the enemy. I have the honor to be writing to Major General Arnold. GEORGE WASHINGTON. When the soldiers again took up their line of march, it was through a valley, between two heavily timbered hills. That valley is now known to us as "The Hook." The road was at the foot of the north hill, crossed "Swan's Creek," then ascended the "Old Saw-mill Road" to the high ground, or "Farmers' Highway," which was a steep ascent. Following this route the army reached "Hopewell," where they again rested. The onward march from there was to "Rocky Hill," "Kingston," Cranbury, and then to Monmouth, where they overtook the enemy and fought that memorable battle, June 28th. The statement regarding the army while here is unquestionably correct, as the writer heard it from the lips of an aged man -- the son of Captain George Coryell, and grandson of Emanuel, at whose house some of the officers were entertained, he being at the time a lad presumably twelve or fourteen years of age. Washington, with other officers, was quartered at Richard Holcombe's, in the ancient mansion we know as "Washington's Headquarters." ----- Original Message ----- From: "john newman" <johnfnewman@yahoo.com> > Does the family tradition give a timeframe when Washington may have been > there?

    3. Many Americans are familiar with this incident, and some will continue to choose to harbor personal vendettas against the DAR for its unfortunate decision back in 1939. The following portions of the DAR President General's welcoming remarks, which she made during the January 27th Marian Anderson Commemorative Stamp Dedication Ceremony, may be of interest to the rest of you: "It is most fitting that we gather in Memorial Continental Hall at Constitution Hall, the place which historically represents a sad chapter in our country's history and in the history of DAR. We deeply regret that Marian Anderson was not given the opportunity to perform her 1939 Easter concert in Constitution Hall but recognize that in the positive sense the event was a pivotal point in the struggle for racial equality." ... "I stand before you today wishing that history could be re-written, knowing that it cannot, and assuring you that DAR has learned from the past."

Copied from the internet story @ http://www.kennedy-center.org/programs/family/mariananderson/woman.html "In 1939, Howard University sought to bring her to perform at Constitution Hall. The request was denied by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), who owned the Hall, because she was black. Eleanor Roosevelt, who sat on the board of the DAR, resigned her membership in protest over this decision and other prominent women followed suit." Richard Williamson Tucson, AZ

    2. Marfy Goodspeed
    3. At 05:32 PM 2/23/2005, you wrote: >Hi Marfy, do you have any information that could answer this request? >Regards, Bill Hartman This is a thorny issue that I struggled with a few years ago. First, I want to address the issue of the name Headquarters. It is my belief that the name of the hamlet has nothing to do the George Washington, but rather with the tavern, known in the 18th century as the White Hall Tavern, which was located on one corner of the intersection of today's Headquarters. John Opdycke's farm was across the road and the mill & store that he ran for many years was on another corner. The White Hall Tavern was used as a recruiting station for the Amwell militia, and I believe that the hamlet took on the name Headquarters because it served as a headquarters for the militia. The only basis for the story of Washington's visit with John Opdycke is the story told by his granddaughter, Elizabeth Arnwine Carrell, daughter of Elizabeth Opdycke Arnwine, as reported in the Opdycke Genealogy. I checked with Frank Gizzard, Associate Editor of the Papers of George Washington, to see if there is any mention of Washington's stopping in Amwell either in December 1776 or in July 1777 or in 1780 on the way to Monmouth. He found nothing. Another tantalizing and questionable source is Jonathan M. Hoppock, who wrote a few articles back in the early 1900's. One of the articles described the march of the Continental Army through today's Delaware Township, and its encampment in three different locations, one of them being Headquarters. Once again, I have been unable to locate any documentation of this event. What is most aggravating is that Hoppock wrote that his grandfather was a great patriot and had many papers pertaining to the time of the Revolution, but that the papers have been burned. Considering how many people would like to find some tangible proof of Washington's visit to Headquarters, it is discouraging to realize that no one has yet succeeded. But I hope you all keep looking.

    3. Rosella, Thanks for looking. I did not have the 1910 census. The names are right. Just to clear it up Veron was my grandfather not Walter. Walter(April 17, 1897 Clear Creek, IA) is the one brother I dont know what happen to him. Last we know of him he was in the Dakotas. I tried finding him in the social securtiy index but didnt find him. Kenneth was killed in WW2. There were also twins born to the family in 1913 Geraldine(died at birth) and Laura who died before she was 5. I take it they were in Nebraska in 1910, is this correct? * . I find Simon age 15 in 1860 father Peter and mother Elizabeth. Simon had a sister, Permillia who was 10. I am not sure just who the above are? The rest agrees with what I have:Simeon D Sinclair 2/6/1845-9/1921 married Elizabeth Weider 2/20/1853-8/24/1933 had 6 children Simon 1871-1940, Jonas 1873-1916 died in St. Paul, MN hospital, buried in SD (this was Veron's father) Peter 1874-,Mary Sinclair 1877, David 1879-1880, Jessie Sinclair 1881-1959 Thanks for your help.

I find Jonas at age 7 in the 1880 census in Hunterdon New Jersey and his parents are Simon or (Simeon) age 35 and Elizabeth age27. I find Simon age 15 in 1860 father Peter and mother Elizabeth.

    1. Re: [NJHUNTER] we're all from NJ!
    2. Sharon and Harry
    3. Wow, do I need help! I am trying to find some information for a family member about whom I'm writing an article. James Herbert Spencer was in the Civil War (20th Massachusetts) and then went into the regular Army and fought the Plains/Indian Wars. He died in 1921 in San Gabriel, California. I found him in Ft. Fetterman, WY in the 1880 census but I don't own a later census. Any way we can find out where he was later and if his daughter, Edith was still living? He had a son, Herbert Rothwell Spencer, who was killed in Manila in the early 1900s. I can't seem to pin down what happened to Edith. I believe she was born in Wyoming in 1882.

    1. John Opdyke Inquiry
    2. Susan Pena
    3. I am trying to find a document that states that George Washington actually did make John Opdyke's home in Headquarters, NJ his "headquarters" for a few days during the Rev. War. I need something like a diary page, a document, a letter mentioning this, a map, a deed -- something associated with the house, etc. that states this. I have checked in the book, "The Op Dyck Genealogy" written by Charles Wilson Opdyke and I have that information. I belong to DAR and John Opdyke has now been removed from the DAR Patriot Index because they say the story is "heresy" and there is no proof that this actually happened. They will not be admitting anyone to DAR on this line until some form of proof that is not "oral tradition" is issued. I have a pending Supplemental that could be verified if I could find this additional piece. I have already submitted the book listed above and they will not accept it. Furthermore, all those now belonging to DAR under John Opdyke will remain in the organization but no more will be allowed to join, as it stands right now until this proof is found. John Opdyke is my grandfather through his daughter, Elizabeth Opdycke Arnwine and her daughter Elizabeth Arnwine Carroll (Daniel Carroll, husband). This would have been a new child on the line, which I was most excited about. Please, if you know of somewhere to look or find this info, I would appreciate knowing where to get it or I will pay you for a copy of what you have and the postage to mail it, if there is such a document or piece of evidence. Please contact me at: sweetsue63@sbcglobal.net Thanks Susan Shuler Pena

    1. Re: [NJHUNTER] John Opdyke Inquiry
    2. john newman
    3. Great question, and I would like to hear the definitive answer, but you probably won't get one. It seems that the research has been done, and there is no "hard" evidence. Well, there's that old joke about all the places that claim "Washington slept here." Does the family tradition give a timeframe when Washington may have been there? I would assume that to sleep near Headquarters, NJ, it would have had to be during the retreat across NJ in late November or early December 1776, or just before the battle of Monmouth in June 1778. There is the slight chance he could have stayed in the area just before or after the Morristown encampments in 1776/77, 1779/1780 or 1780/1781, during the Middlebrook encampment in 1778/1779 or on the road to Yorktown. Here is a list of places GW slept. I did not see John Opdyke's residence among them. http://www.presidentialmuseums.com/Locations/1.htm You may also try to do a search, based on his papers at the Library of Congress. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gwhtml/gwhome.html or GW's diaries (incomplete duing the war period as he was a bit busy to keep up with the habit) http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gwhtml/gwintro.html an old book called the Life of GW http://www.earlyamerica.com/lives/gwlife/index.html or Lossings field book http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~wcarr1/Lossing1/Contents.html Check the newspaper article mentioned in http://www.amwell.org/About/History/history.html "Amwell Church of the Brethren was originally known as the Amwell German Baptist Church. "It is the oldest place of worship in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. During the Revolution, General Washington marched his army past the site of the present church and halted overnight at the village of Headquarters, a mile distant." This is from the Newark Evening News of September 9, 1933." This site also reiterates the story. http://www.heritagepursuit.com/OpDyck/OpDyck4thGen.htm this has the tale by an Opdyke child that remembered Washington, but her memory seems like she saw him often, which is unlikely. Lastly, I see no evidence of a diary at the NJ Hist. Society, David Library or Rutgers Special COllections. Do you know of the existence of a diary? John Opdyke is missing from Stryker's list of veterans, but he did not get everyone: http://www.njstatelib.org/NJ_Information/Searchable_Publications/index.php?include=reg http://www.geocities.com/dane97520/StrykerIndex.html Susan Pena <sweetsue63@sbcglobal.net> wrote: I am trying to find a document that states that George Washington actually did make John Opdyke's home in Headquarters, NJ his "headquarters" for a few days during the Rev.

The clue is that I know my John Lance who lived in Walnut Valley which is about three miles west of Blairstown ( Warren Co ) is buried in Hainsburg Cemetery which is another three miles west of Walnut Valley, and I think Hainsburg and perhaps Walnut Valley are both Knowlton.
