Hello all, Years ago I purchased a map from the Geneaological Society of NJ. At the time, I bought it just because I was interested in all the names in the area where I lived and I love maps. This morning while digging for unrelated papers, I rediscovered this map but I don't know how to interpret the information on it. It says: Sheet B Hunterdon County NJ. Genealogical Society of NJ Map Series#4 Manuscript Map by D. Stanton Hammond, J.D. 1965 It doesn't show roads, only town or village names, rivers/creeks, and property lines with tons of names. Each property has name(s), a year and what I imagine are block and lot numbers numbers maybe? Some have one name within the property boundaries but many have two, not the same surname. For instance for a piece near Pottersville: John McKinstry Aaron Sutton 1794 (6-542) 231.A. Another interesting one has several dates and actually says Lot. Lot#54 Henry Cuyler Tunis Melick - 1775 Peter Melick Issac Farley Wm. Welsh - 1798 (5-245) 280.A. Jacob Welsh - 1845 (Somerset Co. - B-2 page 296) 180.A. There is also a large line through the western part of the map area that says Jury Line. Can someone please educate me on how to interpret this information? Was this the date of the property transactions? names of all people involved or in the case of the Pottersville one, did they both own it in 1794? Dates that appear on map range from 1713 to 1845. THANK YOU in advance for any assistance. Dana Bowers

Re. Dana Bowers' email regarding a manuscript map of Hunterdon Co., and Lot #54: Lot#54 Henry Cuyler Tunis Melick - 1775 Peter Melick Issac Farley Wm. Welsh - 1798 (5-245) 280.A. Jacob Welsh - 1845 (Somerset Co. - B-2 page 296) 180.A. Is Issac FARLEY the Isaac FARLEY who married Anna MELICK in 1779 in New Germantown, NJ (data from an online database)? It says Isaac was the son of Minedert FARLEY and Barbara Van DIEREN. I am trying to ascertain the death/burial location of the Isaac FARLEY who married Anna. Thanks!
