    3. Can someone tell me where this cemetery is located? The website: http://politicalgraveyard.com/geo/NJ/ entries has John Stevens, delegate to the Continental Congress, buried at this cemetery in Lambertville in 1792. There is a link to the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress for John Stevens: STEVENS, John, a Delegate from New Jersey; born in Perth Amboy, N.J., in 1715; merchant and shipowner; engaged in trading with the West Indies and Madeira; large landowner and mine owner in Hunterdon, Union, and Somerset Counties; member of the general colonial assembly in 1751; was a member of the defense committee to protect New York and New Jersey against Indian depredations; commissioner to the Indians in 1758; paymaster of Colonel Schuyler's regiment, the "Old Blues," 1756-1760; as a resident of New York City in 1765 was one of the committee of four who prevented the issue of stamps; in 1774 was appointed a commissioner to define the boundary line between New York and New Jersey; vice president of the council of New Jersey 1770-1782; served as president of the council of East Jersey proprietors in 1783; Member of the Continental Congress in 1784; presided over the state ratification convention December 18, 1787; died in Hoboken, Hudson County, N.J., May 10, 1792; interment in the Frame Meeting House Cemetery, Hunterdon County, N.J.

    3. Sorr y to join the conversation so late, but I have been in the car travelling from Florida to Virginia and just now got on-line. I searched the Hunterdon Gazette - 1825-1866, my T ext, Hunterdon Democrat - 1838-1888, Sutton's Text and Hunterdon Republican - 1855-1896, my Text for the words "frame house". There were hits similar to those already cited, but I have given the source. I have left off references to just a "frame house" if it had no connection to a "frame meeting house" or similar place where people would meet: Hunterdon Gazette 1.

A short history of the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church: [couple of paragraphs not copied] The first house of worship of this old society was a log structure, which in 1760 was succeeded by a frame building. In 1830, the “Old Frame” was replaced by a stone building and from that day, the church is commonly spoken of as the “New Stone,” although in 1870, it was replaced by the present large and handsome frame building. The old burial ground of the last century - West of the church building, though by no means deserted, has also been followed by a new cemetery, handsomely laid out and well kept and where many imposing monuments of marble and granite already commemorate the passing of the later generations.
