Thank again Debbie: Some nice person just sent me a map. As I look over this map. I realize that my Mom. Who live in Red Bank and my grandfather and mother Red Bank and Rumson. Why would she be born in Perth Amboy? Maybe South Amboy but even that is far from where they lived. I am going to check into this a bit deeper with my Aunt. My Mom said something about the closes hospital. Oh well, back to the hunt. Debbie

Hi Debbie, The papers that I listed are the only ones that I have. I just got them today and thought I'd start posting some of the information. Also, I just realized that Perth Amboy is not in the Monmouth/Ocean County area so your Mom would not be in the Asbury Park Press. You'd have to look in a northern paper. I'm not sure which one was for that area. Sorry. Debbie Coon

Thanks Debbie: That made for some interesting reading. Did you by chance pickup a paper dated 11/13/30. That's when my great grandfather had past away. William Heyer, Sr. Could someone tell me where Freneau, NJ is? I was raised up in Monmouth County for 20 years and I haven't a clue. Debbie Marshall

Jackie you are right. Never give up. It could be but I have never seen it. Ken

Wonderful contribution!! Thank you, Debbie. Keep it up! Mary C. no longer bored in San Diego

I have ordered it and will let my friends on the list know what it's like when the mail person brings it. Marie Wright

Dear Listers, >From time to time, someone posts questions about the Yellow Meeting House in Upper Freehold, Monmouth County. This article was published in the Asbury Park Press on Wednesday, 7/26/00. Perhaps it will help you in your search. Regards, Maureen ******************************************************************************* Yellow Meeting House in Upper Freehold to celebrate heritage Published in the Asbury Park Press 7/26/00 By JOSEPH SAPIA FREEHOLD BUREAU UPPER FREEHOLD -- When Robert Haver walks into Ye Olde Yellow Meeting House, it is a walk into yesteryear. "I think you can have an emotional connection to the people of the past," said Haver, a resident of neighboring Hamilton who chairs the Friends of the Old Yellow Meeting House preservation group. What a connection it is -- dating to 1737, when the cream-colored, two-story, wood Baptist meeting house was built. Or even dating to about 1720, when an original meeting house was built at the site. The original meeting house was destroyed by fire and apparently immediately replaced by the current meeting house. This Sunday, the connection with the past will again be solidified when Ye Olde Yellow Meeting House holds its 85th annual reunion and luncheon. The noon picnic-style luncheon, to be held under a tent on the grounds, will be a preceded by nondenominational religious services in the meeting house at 11 a.m. and the annual meeting of the friends after the luncheon. This year is also the 25th anniversary of the formation of the Friends of the Old Yellow Meeting House. The friends group oversees the maintenance of the meeting house and caretaker's house. The caretaker's house, built on the site of a parsonage, is 20 to 25 years old -- dating to about the same time the meeting house was renovated. "The reunion service, I think, is to bring life to the church, rather than have it stand as a cold relic of the past," Haver said. Ye Olde Yellow Meeting House, on Yellow Meeting House Road and one of the oldest Baptist meeting houses in the country, is owned by the Upper Freehold Baptist Church, which is in the Imlaystown section of the township. While the Ye Olde Yellow Meeting House has a religious affiliation, the friends group does not. "The friends are composed of various religious convictions, not just Baptists," said Betsy Poinsett, an Allentown resident serving as vice chairwoman of the group. "They were concerned about the preservation." Poinsett, for example, is Presbyterian, while Haver is a Baptist who belongs to another congregation. Both are charter members of the preservation group and have been trustees for several years. The friends group has about 150 to 200 members. If the weather is nice on Sunday, about 150 people are expected to attend the luncheon, Poinsett said. The meeting house seats about 100 and speakers will be placed for anyone who cannot get inside to hear the worship service. The reunion has its roots in the Upper Freehold Baptist Church's congregation meeting at the Yellow Meeting House Road site until about 85 years ago, Haver said. When the congregation's Imlaystown church was built about 3 1/2 miles away, the tradition of having a reunion at the old worship site began, Haver said. Aside from at the annual reunion, Ye Olde Yellow Meeting House is used for religious services at Thanksgiving and for occasional weddings. The friends group meets there during warm weather, using the Upper Freehold church during cold weather because the meeting house has no heat. "I think it's important to preserve our edifice, which is a tribute to our ancestors," Poinsett said. "There is nothing like the quaint charm of the older buildings. So much has been torn down in the name of progress." The meeting house has a loft, wooden pews, wood floors and a raised preaching area. The structure sits on a foundation of iron ore, which is the characteristic fieldstone of the area. People interested in history may focus on the meeting house cemetery, whose oldest grave dates to about 1725. Visitors are welcome to the cemetery any day during daylight hours, Haver said. "If you walk through the cemetery, you're going to see the names of a lot of families that still exist in the area," Haver said. Those family names include Applegate, Dey, Clayton, Polhemus, Gravatt and Holmes, Haver said. Anyone seeking information on Ye Olde Yellow Meeting House may contact Haver at his home at (609) 588-0730.

http://www.injersey.com/promo/book_jerseyshore/ Information about the new book being published by Asbury Park Press. Prepub price until Aug. 7. I'm guessing the 300 photographs in the book will be a useful addition to a family history library? For those of us with so little Jersey Shore experience, anything helps. Mary C. in dry San Diego

Farm Preservation: What a wonderful idea!! I was a recent visitor to Monmouth Co. and my sister remarked to me how some of the housing developments in the central county area looked just like So. California sprawl, even to the orange tile roofs...We could have been in Encinitas! For those who don't know yet, Asbury Press is online completely free and this article "Reaping Results" from Colts Neck is front page & Monmouth Co. section: http://www.injersey.com/app/ for the basic paper http://www.injersey.com/app/monmouth/ for the section specifically Monmouth "Reaping Results" by Sheri Tabachnik includes the names of the owners of farms in preservation process, the acreage and location. Good data and information for people researching land ownership in Monmouth. Also "Ocean County Section" and "Obituaries" are two important areas to visit; see right sidebar and click on them. I visit the obits every day. I just discovered the POLICE BLOTTER!! Gotta go! Mary C. bored in San Diego
