Has anyone ever heard of the Organizational Council of American Mechanics....(I might have the first name wrong)????? I was told by a librarian that it was a secret organization.....

I am looking for information about Hannah Hendrickson who married Hendrick Hiers in June 1887.....Her father's name was Justice Tarr. Hendrick Hiers was married first to Mary B. Borden . Since this family seems to have moved around alot....it has been very hard to locate the area where they finally settled. Would appreciate any help you could give identifying siblings, parents, or other relations. Still lookin' for lost relations, Patti Heyer nikki@cde.com

I received a question re the Clinker Lot Right Men and did not have a good definition; but have since found one. The term was originally a derisive terms used by the Proprietors and their advocates to identify those settlers who caused trouble for the Proprietors to distinguish them from the other settlers. These settlers lived on part of a division of 17,000 acres along the Rahway River surveyed from December 1699 to the following March. All of the lands were part of the Elizabeth Town Purchase. Part of the division had been granted to proprietors and part held in common by all the proprietors. The best reading I have had to date on the New Jersey Riots is New Jersey Land Riots, 1745-1755 by Gary S. Horowitz. This dissertation numbered 67-2460 was for a PhD in Modern History at Ohio State University. A copy is at the New Jersey State Library or it can be ordered through UMI. According to this book several petitions were submitted to the New Jersey Assembly by the Elizabethtown Associates. Early New Jersey researchers need these lists of petitioners. Any ideas how to get copies of these signatured petitions. == "Family love is this dynamic awareness of time, this shared belonging to a chain of generations...we collaborate together to root each other in a dimension of time longer than our own lives." by Michael Ignatieff "Lodged in the Heart of Memory" _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I just added the 1706 Census of Staten Island onto my website. I alphabatized the data recorded by John E. Stillwell MD in the book: Historical and Genealogical Miscellany, Data Relating to the Settlement and Settlers of New York and New Jersey Vol 1. pgs 149- 156 1903, republished 1970 by Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore. You can find the data at: http://www.geocities.com/heartland/woods/5514/brecount.html Feel free to link to it. I love all of the misspellings. I'd love to hear of any success people have with finding things on the site. I'll update any findings if you wish. (Example, where are all of the parents of the children with unique surnames?)
