Hello: I am new to the list, I am researching the following names all of whom may be related to James Harris of Elizabeth, NJ, Boleyn, Bollen, Vauquellin, Hawerdin and James Harris c. 1650-1763. Joe Harris

Just a reminder! In addition to the NJMiddlesex GenWeb page (http://www.rootsweb.com/~njmiddle), there is another resource for Middlesex Co. that you may have forgotten about and that's the Resource cluster at Rootsweb. The url is below. http://resources.rootsweb.com/USA/NJ/Middlesex/ Part of that cluster is a full suite of GenConnect Boards. It's a great place to post questions (QUERY BOARD ONLY!) as well as a spot to enter wills, deeds, bible records, obits and bios. It's simple to use, free and permanently archived. We all have (or we should have) some of this information in our genealogy programs. That information could prove useful to many others...if only they could find it! There are over 200 of us on the list. If each of us only posted one (1) item to the appropriate board think of the database we'd have started!!! Don't wait! Just DO it! Now! If you have been a lurker on this list...one of those folks who "hide in the bushes" and never post, how about letting the rest of us know who or what is your Middlesex County "Most Wanted". Someone might just have an answer for you! To unsubscribe from the list: Email (from the same address you used to subscribe) NJMiddle-L-request@rootsweb.com (for list mode) NJMiddle-D-request@rootsweb.com (for digest mode) Put only the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the BODY You should receive a confirmation that you've been removed.

please excuse a previously 'bad' post. I'm looking for clues on doing deed research in Middlesex county. looking for several in mid-late 1700s. are these indexed & available for copies? does one go through the courthouse or is there a repository such as Manalapan has in Monmouth? or would they only be found at NJA? I'm not in NJ and would like to do the research long-distance, if possible [the set-up at Manalapan is *very* user-friendly!] thanks for any help any other researchers can provide. kirby in NC looking for the father of Thomas KIRBY b1725 and where he may have come from [and others]

Hello Listers. My grandfather, John J. Meany, was the motorman of the Easton Avenue trolley on the night of the famous Hall-Mills murders in 1922. He was one of the last people to see Charlotte Mills alive, dropping her off at the end of the line near DeRussey's Lane in New Brunswick. He testified at the trial in Somerville in 1926. I'd like to know more about his job as a trolleyman. Does anyone know the name of the trolley company that owned this line and where I can find additional information about it? Thanks. Bob Meany

I have written to the Dutch Reformed Church of 6 Mile Run (Franklin Park) NJ concerning death or tombstone information on my Rappleyea ancestors but have received no reply. I have that there is a church cemetery about a mile away from the church. If anyone happens to be in that area researching in cemeteries, I would appreciate any information on the following people: Richard (Dirck) Rappleyea (ca. 1769- Ca. 1829) and his wife Alice (Elsje) and other relatives of this couple. I believe that Richard's parents were Jerome and Mathilda Rappleyea and his grandparents may have been Derick and Antje Rappleyea. Richard and Alice had children named Jerome, Joseph and possibly Mathilda. Cornelius and George (Joris) were also common names in this family. This cemetery is not copied into the Somerset County Historical Quarterly and I have not found it on LDS microfilms. if anyone knows where tombstone inscription or any kind of records after 1805 can be found for this church, please let me know. (I have found baptismal records 1743-1805 but nothing else.) Thanks much.

Posted on: Middlesex Co. NJ Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NJ/Middlesex?read=1105 Surname: DAVIS, KIRBY, STEWART, BUSSER ------------------------- Searching for the family of my Great Great Grandfather, James Allen DAVIS and his wife Charlotte KIRBY. James Allen DAVIS was born in New Jersey in about 1820 - possibly in Middlesex County. His father's name was most probably John DAVIS and his mother's first name was Ann. Her maiden name might have been STEWART or she may have remarried a man named STEWART. Based on James' birth date, his parents would have been married between 1800 and 1820. James left New Jersey for Champaign County, Ohio sometime prior to 1840. It is assumed that his parents (if still alive) and siblings (if any) remained in New Jersey. Once in Ohio, James initially lived with and possibly traveled to Ohio with his uncle, also named James DAVIS (born 1778 in New Jersey), an Aunt named Britania DAVIS (born 1790 New Jersey), and Britania's son Thomas DAVIS (born 1820 New Jersey.) In 1847, James Allen DAVIS married Charlotte KIRBY. It is believed that the KIRBYs came from the same area in New Jersey as the DAVIS family and may have traveled west with them. Charlotte's father was Joel KIRBY born 1802 in New Jersey. His wife's first name was Hannah. Her maiden name was possibly BUSSER with her mother's first name also possibly being Hannah born 1780 in New Jersey. Joel and Hannah KIRBY had 7 children among them, Charlotte, Elizibeth, and Olivia. All of these children may have been born in New Jersey. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sherill, Fort Dix is the Army Base, right next to McGuire AFB. Which probably means they were married at the chapel on the base. Was your grandfather in the Army? E-mail me personnaly with more details, I'll see what I can find out for you. My husband is in the Navy & we're stationed about an hour from Fort Dix.

Hi, I am researching surname Shiber, have a Charles Eugene Shiber born Oct 28, 1928, married to Elizabeth Joan Hampton she was born Oct 20, 1932. Any information would be appreciated. Carl J. Shiber.

Dear Gentlepeople, I'm trying to figure out where I might write to obtain a copy of my deceased grandparents' marriage license application (ca. 1943 or 1944). They were married in Fort Dix - I don't know if that's within the scope of this list, but since this is the list I belong to, I was hoping some good Gentleperson might know the answer anyway. It's really the license *application* I'm interested in, not the license itself, but I checked the vitalchek.com website anyway. The NJ Vital Statistics Office says that copies of marriage licenses will only be issued to "parties to the marriage" - does that extend to include the next of kin, when the primary parties are deceased? (I do have their death certificates, in case proof is needed.) Thank you for your generous help, and stay safe and warm. Sherill

The Civil War Pension Index at Ancestry (currently free) is really something. The on-line images are, for the most part, very readable. Once you have the certificate # from the on-line image you can order (only via snail mail) the pension file from NARA. There were over 700 entries for Stout, 65+ for Throckmorton, 228 for Applegate, 158 for Mount and even 30+ for Warne! Worth a look folks! Pat

Hello I am researching Daniel MORGAN who m. May 17, 1787 to Elizabeth WARNE, dau. of Joshua WARNE and Meleny DISBROW. Daniel might be the Daniel MORGAN listed in the So. Amboy 1793 census. There were 3 other MORGANS: Charles, James and John Does anyone have any information on the MORGAN family/families of So. Amboy? I believe that my 4th great grandfather, William MORGAN who m. 1816 Elizabeth OGDEN might have been the son of Daniel and Elizabeth (WARNE) MORGAN. My William Morgan was of Randolph, Morris Co,, NJ in 1816. There was a William Morgan taxed in Randolph from 1816-1818. There also was a Daniel MORGAN taxed there in 1816-1817. The only other MORGAN was a Philip, taxed 1806 and 1818. Joshua WARNE, in his will left....direct my executors to pay unto my two grand sons Joshua Morgan and William Morgan, sons of my daughter Elizabeth Morgan, dec'd the one fourth of the moneys arising from the sales of my Personal estate to be divided equally between them, one year after my decease, or until they arrive to the age of twenty one years...p.273 *** this coincides with William Morgan having land in 1815***** William Morgan would have been about 23/4, and possibly his younger brother Joshua might have been a minor, so his father, Daniel, might have purchased the land in Randolph for him, hence, the tax records in Daniels name. Or, father, Daniel might have bought land with his son in Randolph. I'd greatly appreciate any help with this family. I have been searching for years for clues. Thank you. Tracy
