Barry, Pat and all Thanks for the link to the map of the Middlesex/Union County area of NJ. This map has allowed me to locate the Widow Miller's land mentioned in "History of Union County New Jersey 1664-1923 by Abraham Van Doren Honeyman" within the context of the Peter Sonman's 2500 acre land purchase. "Peter Sonmans found sales slow. In 1733 he sold 660 acres at the southwest end of his tract to Henry Slydorn, who sold it again, in 1735, to Adrian Verneule and his brother -in -law, Dick Cadmus, of Bergen. This tract extended along present Front street from Clinton avenue to within 200 feet of Geraud avenue, thence northwest to the mountains. When it was surveyed in 1733, "the Widow Miller" had a house near the present intersection of Front and Clinton avenue. (Doubtless she was the widow of Andrew Miller of Piscataway, and the mother of Rev. Benjamin Miller (1715-1781), pastor of the Scotch Plains Baptist Church, but proof is not absolute). " "Apparently "the Widow Miller" held by Elizabethtown right and sold her claim to Luke Covert in about 1740. " "In 1740 the known houses within the present limits of Plainfield were those of John Shotwell, William Webster, James Manning, Widow Miller, John Vail, and Isaac Drake. " Does anyone know if West Front Street, Plainfield also labeled "620" on the Yahoo map might be a road dating back to the 1730's? Based on the information below which I found since first reading the above Honeyman passages, I wonder if this Andrew Miller/Millar mentioned above was not the youngest son of William Miller mentioned on page 266 of the History of Elizabeth NJ by Edwin Hatfield? The Ancestral File 13KC-FTW lists birth dates for the children of an Andrew and Mary Miller who were reported born in the 1687 and 1690 time frame. The children's list included: Andrew b. 18 Sept 1708 Mary b. 8 Aug 1710 John b. 30 Jan 1712 and all are reported to have been born in Woodbridge. While I do not know the reference for this material, the precise dates that early suggest church records of some sort. Then in the book History of Union and Middlesex Counties published in 1882 by Everts and acknowledging Hetfield's work, there is a list of people who "came for a short while but did not locate" in Piscataway. This list includes one Andron Miller in 1714. So one wonders if Andron Miller is not Andrew Miller: "... widow of Andrew Miller of Piscataway, and the mother of Rev. Benjamin Miller (1715-1781), pastor of the Scotch Plains Baptist Church, ..." The 1715 birth date would fit the above sequence from Woodbridge. To add more to this theory, I note that in the Rahway Month Meeting minutes, in the 1788 time frame when my research subject Peter Miller's wife Tacy Maxson-Miller had moved to the Rahway MM, I am also finding several mentions to Elstones/Ailstones (Hannah and Agnefs) and wonder if these are not related the Woodbridge Elstones/Elstons remembering that William MIller's daughter Sarah married Peter Elstone of Woodbridge as per William's will mentioned in Hatfield. [The Miller family I am searching has names from 1750's born children of Andrew, Peter, Sarah, Susannah and Catharine but the parents are unknown but linked by the 1822 intestate filings for Agnefs (? or unmarried) Miller] So could Andrew Miller, youngest son of William Miller have married prior to 1708, lived in Woodbridge near his sister, Sarah, wife of Peter Elstone/Elston, until about 1714 after his father's estate was settled and then have moved to the Piscataway area only to die after 1715/1717ish but before 1733 leaving his widow to live on "Elizabethtown right" land in Plainfield? This might explain the differing birthplaces mentioned for the 1715/1717 birth of the Rev. Benjamin Miller of Scotch Plains. One source mentions he was from Piscataway and another says he was a native of Scotch Plains. It is really too bad the records of the Piscataway Baptist Church are lost. Can anybody support or shoot holes in this theory?

The following came from a History of New Jersey: James Rightmire, the first member of the family of whom we have definite information, comes of an old and honored family of New Jersey, and according to tradition his grandfather was in 1713 sheriff of Middlesex or Somerset county. He may have been a brother of the Jacob Richtmyer of Middlesex county , who married Maria, daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth Van Vorhees and Neetltje Nevius. James Rightmire born in 1770 and died March 7 1829, his will being proved the following year. For many years he was a school teacher at Deans Middlesex County New Jersey. He married Sarah born Nov 26 1779 and died 1843 daughter of Jacob and Mary Van Pelt. It is the Rightmire family I am interested in...I would like to know how to obtain James Rightmire's will. I am trying to find a connection between a New Jersey (or New York) Rightmire family and Rightmire families who were in Loudoun and Monongalia Virginia in the late 1700's and the first decade of 1800. James, John, Benjamine, and Robert were the first names of the Virginia Rightmire's ....I am descended from one of the James Rightmire's who married Elizabeth Daugherty in 1803 in Monongalia County Virginia. They may have lived in Loudoun County Virginia also. Our family tradition says this family was Holland Dutch. I think it possible they were German but married into a Dutch family. I would appreciate any help or any clue on the New Jersey Rightmire family and especially would like to obtain the will for clues. . Thanks, Alice

I have found a reference to an Edward Clements as a taxpayer in 1669 in Piscataway. I have a patent from the Proprietors of East Jersey to Captain Edward Clements for land on the southside of the Raritan River in 1684. Is it possible that the Edward Clements of 1669 and Captain Edward Clements might be the same person? Does anyone on this list have information about early residents of the area? My Captain Edward Clements' 1684 patent describes land lying between Richard Jones and Edmund Gibbons .....504 acres. I would deeply appreciate any advice on researching this problem. Jessie, Calif.

Thanks so much for checking with your cousin about any possible listings - I look forward to anything your cousin might be able to suggest! I was told once when I was up there that there is a man who I think is a caretaker for the cemetery who is very knowledgeable about it, but I am not sure how to contact him. Do you have the impression that St. Mary's and Alpine are still separate entities, even though they share the same land?

Hello, I am researching these Gourley's, who are all related, and lived in New Brunswick from about 1850 through at least 1930. Mary Gourley, born October 1832 in Armagh, Ireland; she never married. John Gourley, born ca 1826 in Armagh, Ireland; married Eleanor; children Rebecca, John J., Mary, William Samuel, Robert, and Elizabeth Sarah Gourley, born ? in Armagh, Ireland; married Wililam Brown; children Sarah Elizabeth and Caroline E. Would like to correspond with those who find these names in their family trees! Also, if there is anyone on the list who does obituary or death records research, I would like to hear from you as well. Smiles, Barb

My cousin and I have done a great deal of genealogy research including the walk throughs at St. Mary's, but I don't ever recall a listing. I will check with my cousin though just to make sure. I was curious to know which ancestors you have at St. Mary's. I have a large number of ancestors buried in the cemetery including 1 set of great grandparents, gg grandparents and even a ggg grandmother. They are the O'Reillys and Egans and other familes who married into these families. The majority are from the Egan side. Let me know if you are related to any of these familes.
