There are several references to a George Lacy but they all are as follows To George Lacy for Crying the above Vendue, usually paid about 2 pounds This is related to inquisitions of the Loyalists in Hunterdon Co. during the Rev. War. The records appear to be in 1779. He was providing some kind of service for which he was paid. I don't see an explanation in the book about what this means. p. 230, 251, 254, 255 & 259 There is no other information about him in the book. Maybe someone else knows what this means.

No Silvers listed

Thanks Jan. The names listed appears to be a dead-on hit.

As some of you may know, I have been actively researching and documenting the New Netherlands ancestry of the WILLIAMSON family of Hunterdon Co. 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!

jan, thank you for taking the time to do this. when you have a spare moment, anything on the schuyler family would be much appreciated! denise schuyler

Hi, I was hoping it's not too late to request. I'm looking for Holcombe & Emley families. I'm not sure what years are covered or even what the book is all about; I missed the original email. But if you need me to narrow it down with names or dates, I'll be a happy to do so. Thanks for the offer! Ana

How about a Frederick Smith? JanAlpert@aol.com wrote:Neither Henry Smith or wife Jermima are mentioned in the index although there are other Smiths. I thought I should mention they also cross reference alternate spellings as well: Shmith, Smyth, Schmid, Schmidt, Schmit, Schmidedt.

Before I visit NJ again to do research, is it true that the state passed a new law that you can no longer see any marriage records at a county courthouse, even those before 1925? Thank you.

Jan, I'm looking for anything on a Henry Smith, probable wife Jermima, Hunterdon, early 1800's before 1840. Thank you sooo much for your time!

Sorry to bother you, Claire, but you don't give an email address for John Gower. I would like to suggest that since he knows the names, he put notices on the appropriate Rootsweb surname mailing lists. It might be a good short cut to finding descendants. Mary Kyritsis Kifissia, Athens, Greece
