Thank you Nancy, these are good clues. What year is the wedding of John Little to Elizabeth Wilson? I wonder if it is the same meeting house. Bethlehem and Kingwood are a distance from Lambertville. Could this be the old meeting house in Quakertown, just outside of Pittstown? Marfy? Mr. Bill? Have either of you seen or heard of any other location references to a Frame Meeting House with a cemetery in Hunterdon County? Terry McNealy has a reference question addressed to HCHS and I let him down by not including any information about this cemetery in our survey. (A note on the cemetery listing page just says " unknown... needs more research".)

Well, I thought from the description that it might be the Bethlehem Presbyterian churchyard in Union Twp. Stevens lived in that neighborhood, I believe. But find-a-grave doesn't include him there. Can't believe his gravesite is not already known.

I search the newspapers for "John Stevens" and came up with these references which may or may not be pertinent to the original question about the "Old F rame Meeting House." Hunterdon Republican: 1. March 31, 1881 Category: Trivia - The EMLEY Family. [one item of many selected] EMLEY, John, did not marry and lived at White Hall after 1765, renting at first from STEVENS, John for ten years and then buying it. He became a Freeholder in 1774-5. Category: Trivia - The EMLEY Family. [one item of many selected] EMLEY, John, did not marry and lived at White Hall after 1765, renting at first from STEVENS, John for ten years and then buying it. He became a Freeholder in 1774-5. 2. December 8, 1886 Brief News Item from Everittstown. SLOUT, Philip, settled, previous to 1754, on the property now occupied by BUTLER, Alonzo, between Everittstown and Frenchtown. His residence was a log house which stood near the present road. How long he lived there, we have not ascertained. He was, probably, the first settler on that tract. On the 6 th day of June, 1755, he came under a lease from JOHNSTON, Andrew; STEVENS, John and PARKER, James, for “all that Tract of Land whereon the said Slout, Philip now lives,” for “one year from the 26 th day, of March, last past for three pounds proclamation money.” th day of June, 1755, he came under a lease from JOHNSTON, Andrew; STEVENS, John and PARKER, James, for “all that Tract of Land whereon the said Slout, Philip now lives,” for “one year from the 26 th day, of March, last past for three pounds proclamation money.” th day, of March, last past for three pounds proclamation money.” 3. August 2, 1893 Category: Trivia - St. Thomas’ Church Lot. A Historical sketch by RACE, Henry, Dr., of Pittstown. The farm from which the church was set off was in the West Jersey Land Society’s Tract. In 1755, when that tract was surveyed into farm lots, mapped, numbered and the parts not previously sold, divided between the shareholders, this farm was allotted to STEVENS, John - [Hx]. His brother, STEVENS, Lewis -[Hx], a sea faring man engaged in the West India trade, met with a shipwreck and came home in reduced circumstances financially. John gave him this farm gratuitously, or sold it to him very cheap. He lived on it, called it the CORNWALL farm and the large stone house, still standing, which he occupied, he called CORNWALL mansion. The old Church, which stood on the other side of the road opposite the present one, having become unfit for use. Lewis gave to the parish the land on which to build a new one. FRAZER, William, Rev. -[Hx], at that time Rector of St. Thomas’ Church, in a letter to Rev. Dr. Benton, Bishop of London, dated 20 October 1768, says: “….Lewis Stevens, a gentleman of distinguished piety, who has a considerable interest in this parish has contributed for the use of this Church over an acre of Land on which the New Church, is to be erected and is singularly zealous in promoting the interest of the Church here.” This implies that a deed of conveyance was given, probably, to the Wardens and Vestrymen of the parish and their successors in office. This document can not be found upon record and like many other important papers of these times, presumably, was never recorded; what became of it, is not known. The parish has held peaceable possession of the premises for over 130 years; but the “more than acre” conveyed by Stevens has shrunk, by unfair encroachment, to considerably less than an acre. This venerable Church stands on the summit of the divide between the Delaware and Raritan watersheds. The first one [church] in that parish was erected in 1724. No references in the Hunterdon Gazette or Hunterdon Democrat for a John Stevens who lived in the time frame mentioned in the earlier emails.
