Posted on: Mercer Co. NJ Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NJ/Mercer?read=61 Surname: Cohee ------------------------- Looking for help in obtaining obit/death record for Violet COHEE, widow of Ernest COHEE. She probably died in 1940's, in her 70s, living in Trenton, Mercer County, NJ. Believe she may be my g-grandmothers sister. Violet is found on 1920 Trenton City Directory listed as widow of Ernest, living at 1029 Brunswick Ave., along with a Russell COHEE, steelchecker. Also in 1920 directory is listed Anna, widow of Lemuel G. COHEE, res 130 Mercer St. Is she related to Ernest? Any help or suggestions much appreciated. Thanks, Sally

The State Archives in Trenton also has some Civil war information, they have accordian folders by unit and company with interesting tidbits in them, ie I found a physical description of our soldier on a pay voucher. They also have the original muster roles (the big papers, folded no less) for alot of companies. Also things like letters of corespondence. I know a man who found the original discharge paper for his great grandfather in there! The Archive workers were amazed as they hadn't seen that before, so you never know what you will find there.

--part1_9a.547c3bb.265eb235_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Just thought I would add my two cents to this discussion of Civil War veterans. I agree with Sharon that you get a lot more information if your relative received a pension. But be advised that from my own experience if you send to the National Archives you will wait several months for a reply. I guess they must be busy with requests. Your better off getting someone into genealogy that does lookup's for a fee and goes to the National Archives and does there own research. They know for instance which units came from what states etc. My grandfather was a civil war veteran and I gave them his unit his rank and where he was from. They sent back there was no record. He joined the army from Philadelphia I did not know this as I always thought he joined from New Jersey which was where he lived most of his life. The person I had check at the national Archives came back with 60 some pages of information about my grandfathers army record his pension papers etc. If you or anyone else is interested contact me and I will give you the name of the person I used. Or contact any one of your choosing that does this type of work. There is of course a fee but I thought it to be vary reasonable.and well worth the cost. This should not be construed as a solicitation for anyone's business just the benefit of my own experience.

Hi List, In my first post I had guessed Violet Cohee, widow of Ernest, would have been in her 70s in 1920 City Directory of Trenton. She was born abt 1873, so she was late 40's, maybe 50. Did she remarry? In my gg-grandmother's obit 1945 in New Orleans, it seemed Violet was still alive, and living in Trenton. It would be then she was in her 70s. Any suggestions on how to locate obituary of Violet much appreciated. Sally

David, make sure you send for his file from National Archives once you determine that he was, indeed, a Civil War veteran. It will give you lots of info and will include his family history. The pension files usually have letters from relatives, particularly if there was a widow or orphan child involved. You would then be eligible to join Sons of Union Veterans! There is a webpage you can check for a photo of your veteran ancestor, too.

Hi all, My relative, Frederick THORNLEY (1839 - 1915) lived most of his life on Cooper Street in the Mill Hill section of Trenton. On his burial records it indicates that he was a veteran. I guess if the information is correct, he would have been a veteran of the Civil War. He would have been about 22 at the start of the war. Does anyone have access to NJ Civil War muster rolls? What regiments were formed from Trenton? Thank you. Regards David David Paul Crockett Brooklyn, NY 11209 USA Email: dcrock@ibm.net

Calvary Baptist Church is alive and well. The pastor is George Lynch. George grew up in Hopewell and returned to town to become the pastor of the church. Contact him at the church for more information. The church number is 609-466-1880.

Does anyone know anything about Calvary Baptist Church in Hopewell, NJ? Is it still active or defunct? Who could I contact to see about past members, weddings, births, deaths, etc. ? Any information at all will be greatly appreciated! Thank you! daniel-san@dellnet.com

Hi, would like to thank all who let me know that Donnelley Mem Hospital was located in Mercer County in Hamilton Township. Now I can think about getting a death certificate. Regards David David Paul Crockett Brooklyn, NY USA Email: dcrock@ibm.net

How silly of me to have forgotten the Washington Crossing Inn in Pennsylvania! Jim, are you sure it was in NJ? Right across the Delaware River from Washington Crossing, NJ, is Washington Crossing, PA, home of the Washington Crossing Inn - still in use as a restaurant. Holly Knott in Bucks Co., PA

It originally was a TB hospital. Then became a geriatric facility. It was razed in the late 1980's and a new building was built and it is now known by Mercer County Nursing Home. During it's early days (TB hospital/sanitorium) my great Aunt, Betty SEAMAN was the director of nursing. I still have the bandage scissors she sent to me from her "nursing" days when I graduated from nursing school. She died in Florida at the age of about 95. I remember during the tearing down of the "old" building construction was halted due to the discovery of human bones! A lot of people speculated that it was deceased from the hospitals early days but they turned out to be Indian bones or from that era. Hope this is helpful. As it is a state/county facility maybe some original records still exist. Regards, Lisa Bowker Malkin Researching: BOWKER, CLARKE, LARUE, MCANDREWS, ROGERS, SEAMAN, AND VANCLEVE

There is a Washington Crossing Inn on the left going south on 29 from the bridge to PA, not far from the bridge. ~BUCKS COUNTY GENEALOGY AND HISTORY~ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~buckscounty

David - my Dad was the business administrator of Donnelly Hospital at that time- the hospital is still located on Hamilton Ave but is the Mercer County Geriatic Hospital now -----------Marie G

Someown had written about the Burnet family..... In the book "The Archive Photographs Series - Union" there are several photos of Burnet members.... Page 26: Family photo with caption: Another family that lived in Union since before the War of Independence was the Burnets. The Burnet family posed for this photograph about 1890. (12 family members in photo, unidentified) Page 26: Daniel Burnet, a schoolteacher, in a photograph from about 1850. Page 27: Another member of the Burnet family -- Edward Burnet, with very stylish mutton chops, about 1875. Page 27: Mrs. Aaron Burnet, from about 1875. Rob

Jim, I think (and am not positive - perhaps someone on the list can say for certain) that there was a hotel along the Delaware River on Route 29 in Washington Crossing, NJ, near the bridge to PA, that no longer stands. It would have been right next to the Washington Crossing Park grounds. I'm not sure what happened to it, but I seem to recall seeing a reference to it somewhere. Holly Knott in Bucks Co., PA

I believe Mt. Rose is in Hopewell Township, Mercer County, near the intersection of Carter Road and Rocky Hill Road (or Cherry Valley Road, as it changes names at the intersection). Just a tiny crossroads/village, known for its small distillery that I think they're in the process of restoring. Still a very rural area halfway between Princeton and Pennington. Hope this helps!
