I am trying to sort out Revolutionary War patriots who bear the name Peter Latourette (may have various spellings). One way I thought I could do this is to verify dates and places of birth. I believe that the following children of Peter and Margaret (Stout) Latourette were born in Readington, Hunterdon County, NJ. Does anyone have records for the following? 1. Cornelius Latourette born: 27 Oct 1778 in Readington, Hunterdon, NJ 2. Jane Latourette born: 1780/1781 in Readington, Hunterdon, NJ 3. Thomas Stout Latourette born: in Readington, Hunterdon, NJ christened: 26 Oct 1788 in Readington, Readington, Hunterdon, NJ 4. Elizabeth Latourette born: 3 Sep 1792 in Readington, Hunterdon, NJ christened: 14 Oct 1792 in Readington, Readington, Hunterdon, NJ 5. Garret Latourette born: 17 Mar 1798 in Readington, NJ christened: 13 May 1798 I am doing this research for a potential member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. If you have this information could you send me a copy of the records as I will need the proofs for her application? I have emailed Jan Alpert directly. Hopefully her email is the same as it was in early 2005. Thank you very much for your help. Reba Schweitzer Queen Creek, AZ

Hi Reba: I have a Magdalene LaTourette (b 8 Aug 1808) who married William VanFleet Waldron on 20 Feb 1830. Her father was a Peter LaTourette. I never have found which Peter LaTourette she married. Below are some notes I have accumulated over the years. They are kind of a hodge podge. If in your research you have come across information about Magdalene's father, Peter LaTourette, I would appreciate any help. Regards, Richard Names, DOBs and DBPT of children come from Baptismal Records of Neshanic Reformed Church, Neshanic, Somerset Co., NJ in SCHQ V.ii, p. 306. There was a Peter Latourette who filed a claim for a rev war pension in 4 Aug 1820. HCR, p. 207. There was a Peter LaT who married Margaret Stout in Hunterdon Co 21 Nov 1777. NJ Col Docs vol xxii, p. 237. There was a Peter LaT of Hacketstown who married Maria Neitser (dau of Jacob) who was born 5 Feb 1780.

Derick, Francis, jerome and Samuel were also in Amwell Militia Following is a copy of an email: Margaret is the widow of Peter LATOURETTE. I have other data that states they were married in November. I will have to dig out that source document. I don't know who Catherine STOUT would have been, sister, cousin, sister in law. Not sure. I hope everyone is enjoying these little tidbits as much as I am.
