Hi Gloria, The Philhower notebook was compiled by the Philhower Family Association and contains the descendants of the original Philhowers who settled in Tewksbury twp. My interest is a son of John Philhower (1765-1820) and wife Rachel Sutton (1763-1814), Aaron Philhower (1806-1887) who married Jane Maria Bush (1809-1899) and produced 9 children. Bob Philhower, who is a member of this list, can probably provide more information about the Philhowers and these notebooks, but my interest is in Jane Bush Philhower, the daughter of Rachel Bowman and Abraham Bush. There are 400 descendants of Aaron and Jane Maria Bush Philhower plus much information on spouses of these Philhowers. The descendants of the other children of John and Rachel are also provided in the Philhower notebooks. Copies of the notebooks were donated to other major NJ libraries like the NJ State Library in Trenton. The Apgar Fam. Assn has published at least 4 books, and plans to put out more. I think the last one is still available for purchase: Johannes Peter Apgard and His Descendants: Jacob & William, Vol. II, Part III. It has helped me with info about the Apgars who married into the Bush family. And also those who married into my father's family. It is fun to take the information found in these sources, and then prove it by documenting all the births, marriages and deaths through vital records, Bible records, church records and published obituaries and death notices. There is a Swick notebook also, but since Robert Van Doren Swick and Robert Sutphen Swick did not appear in any pages, I lost interest. I think you are looking for the ancestors of Jacob Bartel Swick or is it Henry Swick.

Hi Pam: I have a Swick person I'm looking for. I know where she is bur but want to know her parents. Did you know that an Elizabeth Swick and her husband Abraham Bunn (son of Jacob/Elizabeth Bunn) had a child Jacob Austin Bunn b 1846. I have his pension papers. He was raised by Andrew Philhower. I believe Austin had a brother Philip A. Bunn b 1848 (I have a picture of the two of them in an album) so I am assuming they are brothers. In 1850 he was being taken care of by Elizabeth Beam in Washington Twp. I have not been able to find that Elizabeth Beam. I just found Philip A. in the Civil War (do not have papers yet) but he has an alias of Peter A. Banker. I'm assuming that the Bankers adopted him and then he changed his name back to Bunn. I cannot find the Bankers anywhere. So who was this Elizabeth Beam. It's not Elizabeth Swick Bunn even tho her husband d right after the birth of Philip. Elizabeth Swick Bunn d and is bur, in Mechlenburg, NY with Austin. I know the Bunns and Beams get very confused. There is a Rachel Bunn who m. John Swick, but forget that, it is not Rachel BUNN but Rachel BEAM. I checked the original marriage cert. The mistake is in Early Germans and the Morris Co website has a list of Bunn marriages. She was not a Bunn. Any help on Swicks, Philhower who raised Austin and Elizabeth Beam who took care of Philip, would be appreciated. Maybe I'll get lucky and somebody will know the Bankers.
