Hi, I'm looking for Kendalls, especially relatives of Lawrence Kendall (born Camden, NJ 1906, died Princeton, NJ 1989). Lawrence was born in the Camden, NJ area but moved as an adult to the Princeton or Trenton area. I think he might have been related to other Kendall families living in northern NJ. Any info appreciated. Madeline

Help! I'm looking for anyone who might have information on a Jennie HOUSEL. She was married to a Walter HOUSEL. I don't know when they were married. Also, I don't know for sure when she was born, but I'm guessing 1885-1895. I believe she died anywhere from 1956-1960. Jennie and Walter lived inHOPEWELL, NJ. Any info at all would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Dan in Nebraska Daniel-san@dellnet.com

I think his name was Charles, my year book only says "Mr. C. Mallet". Allentown is not far from Trenton (we used to shop in Trenton). I don't know where Mr. Mallet lived, but he could very well have been related to your Charles Mallet. He was probably born in the twenties. Anita

Hi, I was wondering if some kind soul could do a look-up for me. I need a look-up for the following families: Patrick CASHELL - he is listed on the 1850 census in Hopewell Twp. in Mercer County, NJ on page 119. Thank you in advanced. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. Warm Regards, Belinda savadge@alltel.net http://www.genealogybin.com/

In the Hunterdon marriage index that many of you have seen, there is an appendix entitled "Slaves and Negroes." I thought it might be helpful to post the names of the slaveowners. This is an area which I haven't seen explored on this list in some time, and it is certainly interesting (and tragic) from a family history point of view. I've also included the year of the marriage to give you a time frame on the slaveowners. From: Marriage Records of Hunterdon County New Jersey 1795-1875, Vol. 1, Being an Index to the marriages recorded in the office of the County Clerk at Flemington, NJ, by Hiram E. Deats, published by Hunterdon House, Lambertville, NJ, 1986 Elijah ALLEN 1813 Capt. Joshua ANDERSON 1805 Charles H. BOSE 1826 Jonathan BURROUGHS 1801 Peter CASE 1796 Arthur GRAY 1795 Isaac HARTPENCE 1813 Gershom LAMBERT 1805 Jeremy LAMBERT 1801 Charles McCOY 1805 Sarah PHILLIPS 1806 John SCHENK 1805 William SMITH 1805 Abraham STRIKER 1796 Christian VAN DOREN 1796 Ruth VANPELT 1796 Peter WICKOFF 1795 By the way, if anyone would like the names of the brides and grooms, just let me know and I'd be happy to scan the page for you. Please keep in mind that two-thirds have only a first name. Best wishes, Mary Jo C. Martin Melbourne, Australia martinsm@ocean.com.au

Hi, I'm new to your list. Can someone tell me if Trenton had a city directory around 1920? Thanks Anna

I am writing to ask whether anyone might do a lookup for me in the 1870 federal census index for NJ. I would love to find Susan McGURTY [McGuity, McGinty?]. She is described as "of Mercer County, N.J." on 20 November 1866 in Susannah DEVER's Claim for Increase of Widow's Pension. She and Susannah's brother, Thomas HARRITY, were witnesses to Susannah's signature. Both witnesses stated that they had been personally acquainted with Susannah for "five years last past". Surely her own brother had known her a lot longer than that, so maybe Susan had, too. I would love to find out what connection the two women had. The claim was signed in Lambertville, Hunterdon Co., NJ, so there must have been a good reason for Susan to have travelled a distance to help out Susannah with her claim. Susan McGURTY's surname is hard to read, so I am not even sure whether I have spelled it correctly. How's that for an open-ended query?! Susannah DEVER's origins have been a 16-year brick wall for me, and I am bloodying my fists trying to punch it down. Perhaps Susan McGURTY holds the key to the mystery. Thanks ever so much to anyone who can answer either of the above questions for me. Mary Jo C. Martin Melbourne, Australia martinsm@ocean.com.au Mary Jo C.

Hello List: I recently subscribed to genealogylibrary.com, and found a book on Mercer County, NJ which mentioned a HARRY VAN KIRK as a son of JOHN S. VAN KIRK (b. April 20, 1838) and SARAH HART. JOHN S. VAN KIRK was a son of COL. FOSTER VAN KIRK (Oct. 24, 1783 - Dec. 3, 1862) and his second wife, PENELOPE STOUT. If ANYONE out there would be interested in helping me, I REALLY need to find out the birth date and place for this Harry Van Kirk. It would probably have been in the late 1870s/early 1880s. My grandfather was named Harry Erwin Van Kirk, and was born around 1880. According to his marriage record and a census record in Braxton County, West Virginia, he had come from Pennsylvania, but was not necessarily born there. I've noticed that many Mercer County, NJ Van Kirks later emigrated to Philadelphia and other areas of Pennsylvania. I have seen reference to only a handful of Harry Van Kirks on the internet, none of which, so far, match up with mine. I thought I would try and see if someone could help me prove/disprove if my Harry Van Kirk was the son of John S. Van Kirk and Sarah Hart before I pay upwards of $650 for a DNA test. I really need a lookup in the Mercer County courthouse for the birth date of this Harry Van Kirk, son of John S. Van Kirk and Sarah Hart. My grandfather came to Braxton County, WV sometime around 1900, where he met and married my grandmother. They had 5 children, namely: James, Opal, Margaret Elizabeth, Madaline Eve, and Woodrow Maxwell Van Kirk. Harry E. Van Kirk died in 1917 at the age of 36 when my father was only 8 months old. For nearly a century, Harry's place of origin and ancestry has been a mystery to my family. It has always been bothersome to my sister, my father, and I that we know not where we came from. I am really hoping that someone on this list might be kind enough to help! Thanks so much!!!

Hello list, I'm looking for Thomas A. HUTCHINSON and Betty (COUPE) HEYWORTH who were living in Trenton, NJ, in 1900. One or both of them died prior to the 1910 census, but I can't pin down a year. Is there a necrology file somewhere, as in some states, where one can search for a death notice to get the date of death? Thanks in advance, Jim Boulder, Colorado Researching Hutchinson, Gates, Welch, Kavanagh

Are there any Phillips researchers out there who can help me? How does Palmer Phillips who was in Hopewell Twp. during the last half of the 18th century connect to the family of Justice John Phillips? Thanks, Donna
