Eva, We have been researching our family tree for many years now. Elisabeth Myers, b. 1751, daughter of Michael Myers, married Wilhelm Kemple. One of their daughters, Catharine, b. 1776, married Elijah Heath, Sr. They were our ggg grandparents. In our research, we have found a great many varieties of spellings for both Myers and Kemple, but only one mention of a Campbell -- Clara Campbell -- for whom we have no birth or death dates, or any other information. Nancy Heath Dallaire ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Eva Myer <e.walker.myer@gmail.com> To: NJHUNTER@rootsweb.com Subject: [NJHUNTER] Response to Nancy H. Dallaire Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2011 14:39:01 -0600 Your recent message about Michael Myers interests me, and particularly his children. One, Elisabeth Myers b. 1751 and married Wilhelm Kemple in 1769. Does anyone know if the Kemple name translated to Campbell? I know of three Campbell families who went from Hunterdon Co. to Northumberland Co. PA, along with Rockefellers and others. Down my line of Peters, one of them in the 1850s married Elizabeth Campbell from Northumberland Co. There were several names that both families used and I have always wondered how the Campbell clan existed among all those Germans in Hunterdon County. Not to discredit Campbells, I am from four lines of Scots.

Hello Scott, I was able to open the link using both URLs Sorry to inform you, but I lived about 2 miles from the building in the picture. This was a round chicken house located within a half mile of Stockton, New Jersey, on Route 523 and was probably a couple of hundred feet above the railroad tracks that passed through Stockton. I appreciate your taking the time to look this up and sending the address. On another note, I failed to mention that my Father traveled to Lambertville from Flemington on the old Flemington Railroad that went by Copper Hill, Ringoes, and Bowne Station and thence to Trenton where he continued on to Philadelphia. So, no, he did not swim the Delaware at Lambertville! See attached for an overhead view of the round house. If they ask how to open the file, click on open with MSWord.

That "round house" on Rte 523 (the road from Stockton to Sergeantsville) was never intended for railroad use. It was a barn. Check the Beers Atlas for 1873 for Lambertville Railroad structures.

Having had no feedback to date, I am again adding to the ListServ discussions on Myer/Myers: I am searching for information on Michael Myers and his family -- wife’s name is unknown. Michael Myers died in Lebanon Twp., Hunterdon County, in 1774, with his Will being proved May 21, 1774. Executors of his Will were Jacob Myers (his son) and William Kemple (his son in-law). In this Will, there is no mention of a wife or other children. Michael Myers had the following children that I am aware of, but there may have been more. Jacob Myers, born abt.1750 Ann Myers, who married (unknown) Huffman abt. 1770 Elisabeth Myers, born abt. 1751. Married Wilhelm (William) Kemple 1769, born 1747 in Germany and died 1824 in Hunterdon County, NJ. Thank you for any help you can give.

Do any of you Lambertville history buffs know the location of the Pennsylvania R. R. repair shops and especially the round house. There have been frequent references to these facilities during the late 1800s in the Hunterdon Republican Newspaper. I looked at a present day aerial view of Lambertville and I cannot see any land indentations that would signify a "round house". I checked both the North and South end of town. I know there were sidings in the southern part of the city, but could not see anything relevant. The railroad was still in operation in the early 1930s, since my father told me he had taken the train from Flemington to Lambertville and thence on to Philadelphia where he worked for a few years until the depression put him out of work! I grew up in Flemington and remember the turn table, where Turntable Junction is now located. We used to help the train men push the old hand operated table so they could get their small engine pointed in the right direction. We would also put pennies on the track and let the engine run over them, which would, of course, flatten them and ruin a good piece of penny candy! Ah, the good old days! Regards, MrBill PS: For those who haven't kept up with your research, the newspaper is now complete up to 1891, go to: Hunterdon Republican newspaper, visit: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~njhrna/

Thanks, Robert. The Transactions of the Rockefeller Family 1905 show your Sarah as born 14 June 1808 and died Nov 29, 1835. If accurate, she could not have been my Sarah who married Charles Johnson in 1802. But a birth date of 1808 doesn't fit into the siblings birth dates you list either. What is your source? Of all the Sarah's listed in the Rockefeller book from Hunterdon County, the one born to William and Magdalena Quick Rockefeller seems to fit the closest based upon an 1802 marriage if she married at the common age.

Would appreciate any help with William Rockafellow (@1789-bef.1860), Hunterdon Co. He married Auletta Ditmars, born 1799, christened Altje Ditmars, Readington DRC, daughter of John and Mary (Smock) Ditmars. William and Auletta began a family in 1817 in Readington and had 5 children. I have no marriage record. I believe the marriage records for the Readington DRC are missing for this time period. William Rockafellow purchased land from the Ditmars after the death of his mother-in-law, Mary (Smock) Ditmars in 1828. He sold out @ 1840 and moved to Newark. The following census records suggest William was born @ 1789: 1830, William Rockafellow, Readington, Hunterdon Co, NJ 1840, William Rockefellow, South Ward Newark, NJ 1850, William Rockafeller, South Ward Newark, NJ 1860, William Rockefellow, 4th Ward Newark, NJ living in the househould of Stephen Sanders, his son-in-law 1870, A. Rockefellow, 4th Ward Newark, NJ She is widowed and still living with the Sanders. The extensive Rockefeller Genealogy volumes list my William's father as William Rockefeller (m. Magdalena Quick), son of immigrant Johann Peter Rockefeller. The problem is that this potential father died in 1783, which is pretty well documented. Any problems with my research, any help?? Many thanks, Sharon Hayes
