Hi Suzanne . . I'd appreciate it if you would tell me about the RALPH burial in the Emlay's Hill Cem. Thank you. Carol Daugherty

Those directions would work but that is the long way around - just go out of Imlaystown past the school on the right and and the new housing on the left, the whole road curves right, the next road which only goes left, and has recently had the interection redone, is Imlaystown-Emleys Hill Rd. (This is just before the Davis Station Rd referred to in the earlier directions that appear below, you can see it cuts off a whole unnecessary loop to the right). That will take you to the church at the intersection of Burlington Path Rd. It is pretty countyside, a nice ride either way :-) The church sits on top of a steep hill. I have the address of a good Monmouth co. map (Patton) if anyone is interested Anita Earlier directions - > EMLEY's HILL CEMETERY ..........on Burlington Path Road.

It could have been a case of no live births in those years. As far as the war goes the U.S. Government didn't really gear up for the war until 1917 and very heavy in 1918. Many plants, bases, etc. were opened in 1918 only to be shut down after a few months operation.

I thought I'd throw this question out to the list since you all have been so helpful. I noticed that my great-grandfather had children every two years or less between 1905 and 1912, then there is a time span between 1913 and 1918 where they don't have any children, followed by 4 more in three years. It has made me think that perhaps he fought in the first World War. My question: Was the war done entirely by draft or could men volunteer? It seems the only information on people in that particular war that I can find is in regards to the draft registration, yet his name isn't in those records. If they could volunteer, would the name, approximate year of birth, county, and state be enough to apply for his military record? Does anyone know of any good sites pertaining to this war? Thanks so much for the help. Sharon Ohio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

I have a Roger HUNT-birthdate unknown.(Still alive in 1830). hIs wife was Mary ?. He had a daughter Sarah born 1801. He probably had other children. He and his wife are buried at Garrards Fort in Greene CO. and no dates on tombstones. In 1839, there is an Andrew HUNT-son or brother. Pam

Someone was asking about Monmouth folks who moved on to Washington Co., PA. In the later 1760's a number of New Jersey families settled in the area between the Youghiogheny River and the Monongahela River, often called "the Forks of the Yough," in what is now western Pennsylvania. This area was claimed by both Pennsylvania and Virginia, a dispute that was not finally settled until 1785 by the U.S. Congress. Virginia divided this area into the counties of Yohogania, Ohio, and Monongalia, while Pennsylvania divided this area into the counties of Allegheny,Westmoreland, Fayette, and Greene. Records were kept by both colonies and this helps to explain how the Applegate family appeared to be in two states at once. In 1780, Yohogania became part of Washington Co., PA. You find lots of references to NJ folk in the various histories of the area and in various records. History of Allegheny County, Penna. p94) Probable years of settlement for the New Jersey settlement members are as follows: 1766-Thomas, William, Samuel and Benjamin Applegate, James and Walter Wall

Anyone on this list know about this Scobey/Roberts? Joanne Scobee Morgan MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY The year was 1688, and the area was described at the time as a "wild, unsettled place, possessed with Indians in great abundance." Thirty six immigrants from Rhode Island and Long Island, scattered over what were later to become Monmouth, Mercer, Ocean, and part of Middlesex County, organized the first Baptist Church in the state of New Jersey. There were two alternately used meeting houses, one in Middletown, the other in Baptistown (later Holmdel). In 1696 an immigrant Scotsman, William Laird, settled in a region already known at Colt's Neck, and within two years he began distilling a fine applejack whiskey. About 1709 the first house was built in the region, and it is said that a Captain Scobey settled in the area about 1715. In 1717 The Colt's Neck Inn was opened. Records show that an Alexander Scobie paid rent to the estate of William Lang (or Laing...probably Laird) and we are told that a Sea Captain named Joshua Scobey was living in the Colt's Neck area in 1780. New Jersey figured prominently in the Revolutionary War, much to the dismay of genealogists seeking complete records. The best known skirmish of the Colt's Neck region was the Battle of Monmouth in 1778, in which Molly Pitcher brought water to our soldiers. Perhaps George Washington was there and partook of the by-then-famous "Jersey Lightning", for in 1780 he wrote a letter requesting the Laird recipe and began producing it himself at Mount Vernon. As the Colt's Neck region grew the first grist mill was built (1806), the Independent Methodist Church was established (1808), a store began operation (1812), and soon, (1816) another store opened. A post office was established at Colt's Neck village in 1824, and 10 years later, what had become the principal village of the area had 15-20 homes, a tavern, 2 stores, 3 grist mills, and 2 saw mills. In 1847 the area was officially named Atlantic township, formed from Freehold, Middletown, and Shrewsbury townships. The beginnings of Scobeyville are not crystal clear, but it was about 1849 that Levi Scobey opened a store 2 miles east of Colt's Neck village, several miles west of Eatontown, on the Eatontown-Freehold road. In 1850 the Laird distillery was destroyed by fire, and it was relocated in the neighborhood of the Scobey store. Charles Scobey & Co. succeeded Levi soon thereafter. The region continued to grow, as evidenced by the formation of the Colt's Neck Reformed Church; the area had previously been too rural to gather in a congregation, but now there were 17 members, who apparently first met in a schoolhouse at Scobeyville. In 1871 the Colt's Neck Catholic Church was organized. Then, in 1873, after the death of her father, Charles, H.A. (a female...Hannah A.?) took over the Scobey store, and the little area officially became Scobeyville when a post office was placed in the store in 1874. The Colt's Neck region has always been rural, known for its horses, mills, and charcoal, as well as Laird's applejack. In 1922 the village of Colt's Neck had a store, a hotel and a population of about 150, and Scobeyville had 50 people. In 1936 Scobeyville was described as having 156 people and was mostly farmland and "gentleman's' estates". In 1962, after having unofficially been referred to as Colt's Neck for almost 200 years, Atlantic township officially became Colt's Neck township. In 1976 this 31 square mile area had a population of less than 7000--almost three acres per person. In recent years housing subdivisions have been developed in the area, but Dot Borne says the Scobeyville area is "still rural, very lovely, with many ranches, farms, and horse breeders. Mainly horses." Laird's still produces its applejack in a bottle marked Scobeyville, N.J., and its executive offices are housed in an early 18th century Scobey mansion. In the 1860 New Jersey, Monmouth Co., Atlantic twp. census, a widow, Elisa Hyer age 46, and her daughter Elisabeth, age 22, are living with this family. They both were also born NJ. Elisa surely must be a sister to either Charles or Nancy Roberts.

For those with some interest in the early boundary dispute between PA and VA ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/fayette/history/local/earlysett01.txt A list of those petitioning for a new state for this area. A Samuel Applegate is on the list and there could be other Monmouth names as well. -- joe

Okay. Now I am really confused! I just triple checked - the age and dates I gave you the first and second time are correct! The entry just before Hannah's is for Elsie Roberts, wife of Charles J. Hamer. She died on 4 Jan 1865, at the age of 29! Perhaps somebody did what I did and confused the two lines, thereby making Hannah 29. Or maybe Stillwell made a mistake copying his own notes. You might want to contact the Monmouth County Historical Society or the Monmouth County Archives to see of they have a cemetery inscription for Hannah that is not taken from Stillwell's book. Perhaps there is someone on the list who lives near Matawan and can check the cemetery in person.

Suzanne - thank you for your kind offer of lookups in Emley's hill cem. I would greatly appreciate any REED family members. Thank you. Marge

You didn't change anything... so it really IS the date of death, etc., for Hannah Scobey ... she wasn't 29??? Susan Amicucci wrote: > > My mistake!
