Jan, Will you please check in your book to see if there are any DRAKE's in Hunterdon Co. I'm trying to find out who Benjamin Drake's parents & siblings were. He was born 1729 somewhere in NJ.& I was hoping it was Hunterdon Co. Thanks for your time! Sincerely, Pam Drake in IN. padrake@sbcglobal.net

No, as far as I know they were of the Dutch line going back to early New Amsterdam. There is a McCool line in PA, that is Irish.

Bob, I don't know of any connection, but in my line there's a Dutch family 'COOL' which married into a WESTFALL family from Pomerania, Prussia (on the Baltic Sea). They settled in Kingston, Ulster County, New York before some went on to Hampshire Co., West Virginia. There was later a marriage into an OSBORNE family from Hanover Neck, Morris County, New Jersey. I haven't any hard data about COOLs in New Jersey, but wish you good luck. ---Gary from Berkeley ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Reddell" <siouxsue@alltel.net> To: <NJHUNTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 9:20 AM Subject: RE: [NJHUNTER] Records of Old Hunterdon Co. 1701-1838 by Phyllis B.

Several of you have asked me to look up records in the Old Hunterdon book. I will take them in the order they were asked and it may be several days before I can answer them all.

Jan, whenever you have "spare time", can you check and see if there any Holcomb(e)s listed? I'm in no hurry. Thanks for your kind offer to do look-ups and I hope to return the favor some day.

I'm not sure if someone has offered to do look ups but I'm keenly interested in LANTZ - LANCE records particularly pre 1860. Thank you, Laurence Lance Seattle

Dear Jan, When I just replied, I hadn't noticed that you had forwarded the entries regarding the Martins. Thank you so much; my Hess ancestors used their middle name (Martin) during the time of the Revolution because (we believe) they didn't want to be associated with the Hessian Army that was causing destruction across new Jersey. The John Martin and wife Susannah that you noted as sponsors to the Schmid baby were the baby's grandparents and also my ancestors. Again, thank you very much.

The state of NJ began recording births, marriages, and deaths, in 1848. These were initially recorded in register form and when you send away for a record from the NJ State Archives, you will get a copy of the whole page that contains the name you requested. In the earlier years, the record might not be available, as the compliance rate was rather low. Beginning in 1878, individual certificates were issued. The compliance rate is much improved but doesn't approach 100% until after the 20th century. If you have a death date, you might get the birth date (or pretty close to it) from the death record. Again, registration began in 1848, with a column for age at death. Beginning with 1878, age at death was recorded in years and months. Sometime after 1900, the actual birth date was recorded on the death certificate. Of course it should be remembered that the amount of information filled in depended on the amount known and made available to the registrar. Hope this helps, Helen
