Boy, my cousins are coming out of the woodwork.....grin! Bob Bennett and I go way back about 50 yrs....nice to hear from you in the digest Bob! Off the top I think my grandfather's sister married Tabor Chadwick Polhemus. That would be my great Aunt Laura Brown Polhemus. Teddie.....loved seeing Sarah Silvius Haberstick Bennett on here... she delivered me into this world in West Belmar many years ago. She was my own grandmother's twin sister! Jack Frye now passed over, her grandson was one of the most wonderful people I will ever know. I was so proud to be related to him. We had a wonderful time growing up. Our grandmother's were the best! Such fun! Loving and a wonderful bonus for me! This digest is the next best thing to going back home... I will be looking up the dates for the Pearces and get it on the digest soon. Having company from Herbertsville, NJ all week so will need to put it up the end of the week. Jackie, once a Jersybel

His father William Huntsinger Sr. b. 1851 d. 1930 and wife Irene Clark b. 1851 d. 1919 All buried in Fairview Cemetery in Middletown. My Grandmother Grace Van Nest b. 1902 d.1945 Her father L.B.

Hi Listers, I am new to the list and am searching for John DALEY born in Freehold, NJ 1911/1912. His father is Thomas DALEY and mother Margaret LAMP (I think). I believe they later moved north to one of the Brunswick's. John also had a brother Thomas and possibly other siblings. Also, could someone tell me the best place to send for John's birth certificate? NJ's Vital Records in Trenton? or is there a better quicker place? Thanks in advance, Roberta

I am searching for information about the parents of John MARTIN. He was born August 27, 1763 in Monmouth, NJ (according to King's Rangers records). John's father's name was Richard. His mother, possibly Rebecca but that is an educated guess, is believe to have died in Monmouth Co. about 1770. I would appreciate hearing from anyone having information about this family.

Hi, Frank, You will probably need to give us an idea where Joseph Nuding lived in Monmouth County - more than one William H. Bennetts in the county :) - so that we can determine just which William H. you are looking for. -- Candy_B cbservices@monmouth.com Researching Bennett, Cooper, Vanderveer, Woolley & related families in NJ Researching O'Brien, Brown, Boyle, Cavanaugh, Noonan, Fitzgerald, Spellman, Messier (Macey), LaCroix (Cross), Blais (Blair), Durand, Simonneau, Chabbot (Jabbot, Jabaut), Boucher, Sharron and related families in NY, New England and Quebec

Bob Bennett: Can you fill me in a little more on Elijah Robbins? b.ca.1739, son of Moses Robbins, Jr.?? He would appear to be the g.son of Moses Robins, Sr. & Mary Sickles. Moses Jr. would have been the brother of Joseph, who marr. Leah Clayton, dau of Zebulon Clayton & Mary Hartshorne. Zebulon was son of John Clayton & Alice Myres. I've got Chadwick mixed up with my Headly & Margerum family lines, also.

Ellis, History of Fayette County, p661 November 28, 1789, Jeremiah Pears (or Pearce, or Peairs) patented a piece of land containing one hundred and twelve acres, called "Prophetic," and lying in Menallen and Franklin townships. Edward Hall and Jeremiah Pears held land adjacent to this tract, and laid out lots in the form of a town, which they called Middletown (now known as Upper Middletown, or Plumsock). Hall sold to Rev Robert Warnocks. The one hundred and twelve acres mentioned as belonging to Jeremiah Pears included the site of the Menallen rolling mill, hereafter to be mentioned, and for a long time popularly known as Forgetown. On that site Pears had a mill as early as 1784, and perhaps before, for in the road records of the county, under the date mentioned, "Jeremiah Pears' mill" is noticed. In 1794 Jeremiah Pears' forge was recorded as being then at the same point, and in 1804 he had there a saw mill, ghrist mill, forge, slitting mill, and rolling mill-quite a large collection of industrial enterprises for the time. Thomas Cook, then of Perry and afterwards of Cook's Mills in Redstone, was one of the builders of the Pears' forge, which was probably erected in 1794. Pears carried on the manufacture of ore at Plumsock until about 1804, when he sold out to George Dorsey. Dorsey sold in 1809 to Benjamin Stevens, he to Meason & Keller in 1813, and Keller sold his interest to Col Isaac Meason in 1815. Jeramiah PEAIRS, b1758 in Penna, resided at his farm from 1785 to 28 Nov 1789 in Franklin Township, Fayette Co., Penna. Builder and owner of a forge about 1795, Franklin Township, Fayette Co., Penna. He m Ellen JOHNSON about 1780 in Penna, and died about 1830 in Ohio. History of Fayette County, by Franklin Ellis, Philadelphia, L H Everts and Company, 1882 p675 In 1803 (Joseph) Huston bought of Jeremiah Pears the Redstone Furnace in the present township of South Union…. History of Fayette Co under WILLIAM McFARLAND in the Index: ca 1870 period: "During the existence of the church but two houses of worship were erected. Soon after its organization six acres of land, lying on the township line between Franklin and Dunbar, were deeded to Jeremiah Pears/Peairs, William McFarland, and John McClelland, "trustees of the ASSOCIATED REFORMED CONGREGATION OF LAUREL HILL."" Upon the land (in Dunbar) a graveyard was laid out and a stone church built….. Robt. Wilson "This Elisha Peairs is the father of Joseph Peairs, who settled near Round Hill, Allegheny Co., Pa. Elisha Pearce/Peairs m Elizabeth/Betty Jack/Jacques had 6 sons: Jeremeah Peairs, ie Jeremiah Peairs Joseph Peairs (of Round Hill, Pa. m Susannah Allen), James Peairs m Gaddis (James Pearce?) Isaac Peairs went to Kentucky or Tennessee, probably settled near uncle Isaac Peairs, who died in Sumner county, Tennessee, in 1810. Elisha Peairs, lived and resided near the old homestead. He was at one time a hotel keeper. John Peairs, settled on the waters of Beaver River, Ohio Elisha Pearce/Peairs/Pierce and Elizabeth Jack also had six daughters: Sophia Peairs, Isabella Peairs, Nancy Peairs, Betsy Peairs, Rachall Peairs and Mary Peairs.

The first churchyard was laid out in 1772 on the Samuel Work farm, and was moved several miles away in 1782. Elisha Peairs's will was proved on 23 May 1816 in Franklin Township, Fayette Co., Penna. Elisha Pierce married (1750, Somerset, Somerset Co., NJ) Elizabeth JACQUES (aka Betsy Jack, Yorkshire, England, 1735-1814, Penna) resided at her home about 1750 in the area of the Potomac River, Maryland.
