The only information I have found regarding Magdalene Latourette I found on Ancestry.com Tree Project which you may already have. Here is the information. I do not known how accurate this information is. Name: Peter Latourette Surname: Latourette Given Name: Peter Prefix: Major Sex: M Birth: 24 Apr 1766 in Amwell Twp, Hunterdon, NJ Death: 1 Jan 1854 in New York, NY, NY Burial: Dutch Reformed Churchyard, Readington, NJ Father: Peter Latourette b: 1725/1726 in Staten Island, Richmond, NY c: in Reformed Church, Port Richmond, Richmond, NY Mother: Cleffy Patmore b: 1730 Marriage 1 Mary Neitzer b: 5 Jan 1780 in Amwell Twp, Hunterdon, NJ Children 1. Elizabeth Latourette b: 14 Aug 1801 in Amwell Twp, Hunterdon, NJ 2. Mary Latourette b: 7 May 1803 in Amwell Twp, Hunterdon, NJ 3. John Patmore Latourette b: 3 Mar 1806 in Amwell Twp, Hunterdon ,NJ c: 7 Sep 1806 in Neshanic Dut Ref Church, NJ 4. Magdalene Latourette b: 9 Aug 1808 in Hillsboro Twp ,Somerset, NJ c: 14 May 1809 in Neshanic Dut Ref Church, NJ 5. Elizabeth Latourette b: 1 Aug 1811 in Hillsboro Twp, Somerset, NJ c: 5 Aug 1811 6. Ann Latourette b: 5 Jun 1815 in Hillsboro Twp, Somerset, NJ c: 3 Jul 1815 7. Peter P. Latourette b: 3 Oct 1817 in Hillsboro Twp, Somerset, NJ There is a Magadlene (as spelled in Ancestry.com) Waldron shown with William on the 1850 Raritan, Hunterdon, New Jersey census. Living nearby is Zebulon with Lettetia Stout and James with Elizabeth Deats. Also living in Raritan, Hunterdon County, New Jersey is Garrit Latourrette. Garrett Latourette was born in 1798 to Peter and Margaret (Stout) Latourette. I wonder if Magdalene was also a child of Peter and Margaret Latourette. She would have been a very late baby as Margaret would have be about 50, but possible and the location is right. In 1860 it shows Magdalene Waldron with William in Raritan, Hunterdon, New Jersey. Living nearby is James Laterett age 19 - a nephew maybe? Also, living nearby are two families with familiar name - Zebulon with Letitia and James with Elizabeth Deats. According to the above Mary Nietzer (Nitzer, Neitser, Nitser, Nietser) was the mother of Magdalene Latourette. I believe Jacob Nitzer (spouse Mary Kase or Maria Case) was Mary's father. I found the following on the internet: Hunterdon County Democrat Mar 17, 1841, Vol III, No. 29 (133) Died In Lebanon, on Saturday, the 27th ult., Jacob Nitzer, in the 100th year of his age. http://njsuttonfamily.org/Newspaper/jan1841.htm This is not much, but I hope somewhat helpful.
