(b. 1847). All Children are believed to have been born in New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ. John & his mother Catherine still living in 1860 but after this I have not been able to locate them. Both John Hampton & Sarah must have passed away sometime between 1850 & 1860 as neither of them is listed in the 1860 census. John Jr. (b.1829) married Mary Durham and resettled in Newark, Essex Co., NJ. William H. (b.1847) traveled west to California and married Edwinna C. Dryden. If anyone has any connections to this family or any information such as dates, parents, siblings, spouses, children or whatnot I’d really appreciate hearing from you.
