Is there anyone on the list with knowledge of South River that could assist me? I have been searching for great-grandparents for almost 20 years. Grandfather, John Joseph RING, (born Austria) at age six immigrated from Bremen to NY in 1889. Nothing that I have found in his records leads to parents. I am now attempting to find g. grandparents through their eldest son Leopold RING. Leopold died in 1916 at the age of 41; I believe he died in South River. There is a strong indication that Leopold was Jewish. Are there any Jewish Cemeteries located in South River? I would greatly appreciate it if some kind soul could send me the names and addresses if available. Thanks, Pat O'Toole

Hello I am searching for information on my great grandparents. My grandma, Wanda Wilgucki Gass was raised in Carteret. Her father, John Wilgucki, came to America through Ellis Island, in the 1910's. He met and married Mary Krajuik who was from Russia then PA. Mary died about 1927 from complications of child birth. Her son also died. My grandmother was not told about her mother and she has no documentation, except her birth certificate. The names are spelled as above. Today, Wanda told me that Mary is buried in Fords. Does anyone know the name of the cemetery there? I believe John is buried there also. They went to Holy Family Church in Carteret. I am waiting to hear from them. Any information would be so much appreciated!! Kimberly, IL

This Bethel,sw Ohio was founded 1797 by Obed and Mary Ball DENHAM. James Denham was a 1752-60 era Amboy quaker, and SHOTWELL'S,and Loofborough were here at Bethel ,Oh from that meeting, but as Baptist's. What were some other surnames attending that meeting about 1750. I think the date was about 1787,when they reported Woodbridge Twnsp with 411 men; Piscataway Twnsp with 284; New Brunswick with 300 South Brunswick with only 147 South Amboy with 400, and Winsor,at Princeton with 349. For certain,the central part of this Clermont Co,Ohio had many from Winsor twnsp; And I have Bonham and Bebout at Piscataway. Then we have many from Elizabeth in Essex co,and Shrewsbury and Dover Twnsp,of old Monmouth. We had many from Winsor,Middlesex, which [?] adjoins Millstone Twnsp of Monmouth Co. Know from tax list who was in Winsor but not Millstone. ___________________________________________________________________ Why pay more to get Web access?

In his will written in 1709 Joseph ROBINS mentions his sons Joseph, Nathaniel, and Jacob, and daughters Anne, Frances, Bethia, Rachel, and Charity. Also mentioned is an unborn child. Bethia ROBINS is beleived to have married John NATION and with her brother Joseph ROBINS moved to Frederick Co., VA, and then to Rowan Co., NC, where Joseph made his will in 1754. What became of the other children? What became the name of the unborn child? Did the widow, Anna (PACK) ROBINS remarry? Thanks. german@jarman.net

Searching for birth and marriage information on John Hubbard Lake. Probably born ca. 1775. Believed to be of Jacobus Lake and Arreantie Hubbard. John married Charity Brewer ca. 1797 and migrated to PA ca. 1798/9. Jacobus land owner in Middlesex/Somerset Cos. Have viewed film and books with no results and continuing to do so.

Hi. I've just subscribed and am wondering if anyone on this list knows anything about a Samuel Leonard that for some reason, was listed on the deed to land that sons John and William Scoby inherited from their father, Alexander Scoby in New Jersey, in 1747??? Joanne Scobee Morgan

Listers, In an effort to thank the folks on this list who offered me help finding the proper name and location of Evergreen Cemetery in North Brunswick I submit this list of names. I hope this helps someone's research. I have a class picture from MILLTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOL, which has no date or grade printed on it (darn!) but there is a fine picture of the school and pictures of 32 kids who appear to be about 6th, 7th or 8th grade. This would have been taken in 1940, 1941, or 1942 as my Don is one of the kids and he graduated from 8th grade in 1942. These are the names as my husband remembers them. The spelling may be wrong, but he did the best he could in remembering his classmates. Sorta fun. If anyone has family in this picture and would like a scanned copy, I would be happy to send it to you. MILLTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOL - 1940/41/42??? (first row) GARRATSON, MARJORIE CHRIST, EVALYN SCORDO, MAMMIE ? CARINA, CLAIR ?, MILDRED WALENBROCK, EDNA ?, PETE SKEWIS, DON <---------- (second row) SADAN, ROBERT MEAD, MARION ? ? WATERS, SILVIA BRINDLE, DOROTHY SCHLOSSER, NOREEN CHRISTENSON, SVEND COFFEE, FRANCIS (third row) ? JENSEN, JUNE ?, IRENE (forth row) EVANS, WARREN GRUTTER, HERBERT (bottom - 5th row) HEINZE, ALVIN ? ?, LOUIS ADACHIO, HOHN ? SEAMAN, EARL CUSTER, THEODORE ? ?, JOHN Maybe you can help me fill in some of the missing names or correct the spelling. Thanks again for the help on my Cemetery query - One of the Listers is going "above and beyond" and is to trek to the cemetery to search for our Skewis folks - THANKS Barry!!!!!

Trenton is a psychiatric hospital and has had a special place called the Vroom building that has housed the criminally insane for at least 40 years. What with the changes in institutionalization in these past years, I am not sure what it is in the present. But, in years ago, the criminally insane were incarcerated there. sue Suzanne Law Hawes Southampton, NY
