Hi Pam, I know you have helped me with some Swick information before. I also contacted Bob Philhower more then a year ago. He is the one who gave me the name of a Mary Elizabeth Robertson who lives in New Providence, NJ. I contacted her and she sent me a nice letter and some information. Her Aunt Florence Philhower was the one who started the research on the Philhower family. They both joined the DAR under Philip Philhower the "Overseer of the Roads" in Morris Co. for Gen. Washington. She sent me a copy of her DAR papers, a news article from "The Star Ledger " Sept. 26, 1991, and a copy of the 75th Philhower Reunion Sept. 7, 1991. It includes some history and the names of his 10 children. One being Christopher 1756. He was a Revolutionary Soldier and the grandfather of Charity Apgar, my 2nd Great Grandmother who married Luke Swick at Fox Hill. Mary Robertson sent me a copy of 22 pages of Part II of " Who's Who" in the Philhower Family of Hunterdon County by Elizabeth Philhower Haycock, Oldwick NJ. I wrote Mary and asked if Elizabeth was still in Oldwick and the address, as I would like a copy of Part I. She has never answered me back. Mary Robertson also sent a copy picture of Philip's house. Elizabeth Haycock starts in her part II, with the obituary of Elizabeth, the oldest child who passed away at 95. Now I'm wondering if this is part of that notebook?? I have much on Christopher's family, but nothing on your John or the rest of the children. I joined the DAR under Christopher a year ago July. I also have the genealogy from "The Early Germans of New Jersey, My interest is a son of John Philhower (1765-1820) and wife Rachel Sutton (1763-1814), I see John is the 3rd child. Christopher was the 2nd child who m. Elizabeth Fox. I also have a Horace Philhower, 1861 s/o Jacob Philhower & Emily Hoffman. married 1890, Mary Elizabeth Swick d/o Jacob Hiler Swick & Elizabeth Eick Murphy Jacob Hiler Swick was s/o David Swick & Ann Henry The Apgar Fam. Assn has published at least 4 books, and plans to put out more. I know of the last book. They had one for sale at $40.00. They need to add a lot more info. They are questioning some of the pass genealogy and going to dig more into it. So I will wait for the new one, whenever that will be. I do have the Apgar Family tree from the web page. There is a Swick notebook also, I have never heard about it. Where would I find that ?? You are not talking about the book "The House of Swick?" I think you are looking for the ancestors of Jacob Bartel Swick or is it Henry Swick. Yes, Henry Honeyman and my grandfather, Charles Frances Swick were sons of Jacob B. Swick. David Swick & Ann Henry were the parents of Jacob. I have been digging for 3 or more years now to find David's father. My Brick Wall !! I know the HCHSoc. has the Bible they received from Robert S. Swick. I have a copy of that. Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate you thinking of me when you come across anything. Gloria

Hi Gloria, Elizabeth Philhower Haycock died January 16, 1967 but her genealogical work on the Philhower family was continued by others. She is also a descendant of Jane Maria Bush and Aaron Philhower. I'll let you know what Swick information was in the HCHS library. My impression is that it was not helpful. You probably have everything that you need that was put in the Philhower pages. It is so difficult to go through hundreds of pages which are not indexed hoping to spot a name. Once I was looking for Almira D. Philhower (1845-1909) who married Frederick H. Eick, and it took me several weeks to locate her as the daughter of Richard Philhower and Elizabeth Beavers.
