Is the book "Pioneers of Old Hopewell" by Ralph Ege, still available? I am looking for the Hydes who were in Hopewell early, but maybe not early enough.

Marykay, A quick search of my favorite used/new book source, Alibris.com shows two copies available today, but not cheap: http://aol.alibris.com/search/search.cfm . I've enjoyed my copy, although it's short on my family Smith and long on the family Stout, etc. Good luck hunting, Gary in Berkeley ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary K.

Marykay: I have been looking and cannot find an online address for the Hopewell Museum, but their address is: Hopewell Museum 28 Broad Street Hopewell, N.J. 08525 (609) 466-0103 In addition to "Pioneers of Old Hopewell", I believe that I also purchased at that time, "Traditions of Hunterdon" by John W. Lequear; "The Roads of Home" (Land and Legends of New Jersey) by Henry Charlton Beck; and "Smugglers' Woods: (Jaunts and Journeys in Colonial and Revolutionary New Jersey) by Arthur D. Pierce. The last two were published by Rutgers University Press. All are paperback. Recollection tells me that I called the museum and they sent me a list of available books.
