Hi All, Does anyone out there have access to New Jersey Federal Census records for 1850, 1860 1870 & 1880? I'm looking for a James Conner (the NJ State census for 1855 lists him with a middle initial of 'D'). I found an 1850 index for James at the Nebraska State Historical Society (of all places!) and he is listed in Hunterdon County, Kingwood Township (page 148). I am particulary interested in finding an age. If anyone can help, please contact Daniel-san@dellnet.com. Thank you for your consideration! :) Dan in Nebraska

I believe you are right. I use to live at 711 and I remember driving away from Clinton Ave direction and passing a cemetery.

I believe the cemetery on Division St might be on a square block - with Roebling Ave - Washington St and Emory Ave - Now that I think of it it may not be Division St -I am trying to remember - I also believe it is called St Francis Cemetery -----------Marie G

Hi everyone, I know alot of you have an interest in preserving cemeteries... and we all know of several in the Philadelphia area that could be kept up much better. I just got a notice about this group from an ancestry.com mailing list and thought I'd pass on the URLs in case anyone is interested. One is for a petition going around to ask Congress to enact the "National Cemetry Preservation Act". The other URL is this group's main website with other info on recording grave stones, etc. http://www.savinggraves.com/petition/index.htm http://www.savinggraves.com Holly Knott in Bucks Co., Pa

The D&R Canal runs from above New Brunswick down to Trenton, I think it is about 60 miles long. It is maintained by the State's department of park's. Nancy ~BUCKS COUNTY GENEALOGY AND HISTORY~ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~buckscounty

Does anyone know of a site that would have maps of the townships? Did any of the townships change when Mercer County was formed? Looking for Eleazer Young 1860 Hopewell Township. Thanks!

There was a Canal running through Trenton - I remember it - It passed the Roebling factory - My uncle told me that Houdini came to Trenton and did his escape act in the canal -Marie G

Sounds like a question the Canal Society of NJ might answer. Try: http://www.canalsocietynj.org/ ecunningham@att.net

Holly, Trenton magazine was the business publication of the Trenton Chamber of Commerce. Today the magazine is called Mercer Business. The Trenton Public Library has a complete run to the magazine, its a great resource. As for the records of the GAR, they are scattered about and are mostly just the proceedings of the state department. I have not run across any local records. I do know that the records for Post 23 were destroyed in a fire sometime in the 30's or 40's tho. Hope all this helps.
