Hi Leslie, Your Dalley work has been cataloged and is on the shelf in alphabetical order by surname. I saw it about 8:55pm last Thursday (10/14) which was too late to look through. I want to search it carefully to match up the Dalley info I have to what is missing. Specifically the information on John E. Dalley, b. 26 Oct 1811 who married Rebecca Dilley (1818-1870). It is wonderful that you compiled the information you did for others to use. I have found the Philhower notebooks, the Apgar books, Seals notebook, and other family compilations to be of great help, especially since they were compiled by a member of the family. Deats' notebooks are a good start for information but only that! The HCHS is in great need of northern Hunterdon Co material. Most of Hiram E Deats' collection concentrated on southern Hunterdon up to Franklin Twp where the Deats family settled. I, too, have found a dearth of material on Readington and Tewksbury Townships. By working my way through the Whitehouse Weekly Review and High Bridge Gazette, I have found much on the families of northern Hunterdon. For example, many families had annual picnics, usually in August. A notice would appear in a newspaper, and accompanying it would be a long history of the first settler by that surname. I have run across much information on the Dalley family in the Clinton Democrat and Whitehouse Review because of the proximity of Readington Dalleys. And it seems like every third tombstone at Readington Cemetery belongs to a Dalley. Please don't give up your membership. The rest of us poor researchers are relying on the collective good natures of people like yourself who have made wonderful contributions to Hunterdon family history. Believe me when I say you are appreciated!

Dear Pam, Thank you for the encouragement. The work I presented is just part of my research into my family in the northern part of the county. Eventually I hope to submit more to share with researchers like yourself as I find more reliable evidence. I'm also researching the DEMOTT, LANE, and LUNGER families.

My 3gg mother Sarah HALL married George MILLER. I found a Sarah Miller listed in the 1880 Branchburg, Somerset, NJ Census as the Mother-in-Law living with John Y DALLEY, his son John L DALLEY, Mary E DALLEY daughter-in-law and grandchildren Georgianna, Sarah E, Jno H and Theo. Is anyone familiar with this family? Could Mary E be the daughter of my MILLER's? The only child of George and Sarah HALL MILLER that I know is my gg grandfather Cornelius MILLER.

John Y. Dalley is in my line of Dalleys, but I haven't checked further on Sarah. Coincidently, John L. and Mary E. had a daughter they named Sarah Elizabeth within months of my John N. and Mary E. also having a daughter they named Sarah Elizabeth. For over a year, I was using the birth date of the wrong Sarah. John Y. Dalley (1801-1881) was married to Elizabeth Hall (1807-1846), but my sources haven't been verified yet. I have the same children fro John L. and Mary E. that you list. Is there any information I might have that might help you?
