I am looking for information about Serviah Vandike (Van Dyck). She married Daniel Chasey in Middletown on 27 Mar 1797. She and Daniel were married by Joseph Stillwell, J.P. Beyond this I know nothing abour Serviah, nor the identity of her parents. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Lynn, Many of the men who purchased land in Middletown were from RI, and never actually settled in NJ. They were building equity for their children, so it would not be unusual for Mary to migrate to NJ with her brothers. I suspect though that she may have met and married Judah Allen in RI. If you check out the Woolley's on NJ Genweb tidbits, per Joe's message, you will see that Mary's brother, John, had several business dealings with Judah Allen beginning in 1685. I'll bet if you look into early Newport records you will find Judah Allen there.

Documents Relating to the Colonial History of NJ, Vol. 22 SOME PECULIAR MARRIAGE CUSTOMS. The popular application of certain well known principles of law often leads to quaint and curious customs, and marriage is no exception to such interpretation of the law. By the common law "the marriage is an absolute gift of all chattels personals (of the wife) in possession of her own right, whether the husband survive the wife or not."1 Conversely, "a husband was to be charged for all debts of his wife, dum solo."2 These laws led to a peculiar custom in England, which was transplanted to America, and was practiced in New Jersey, as appears by the following entry in our public records: "Thomas Holmes of Woodbridge brickmaker and Lucracia the widow of John Pierce of New York [marriage license issued July 14, 1679] were married at Mr. Moor's house in Woodbridge Thursday 17 July 1679 by James Bollen. "The said Holmes disclaymed any of ye Widow's Estate, but took her naked only her shift."3 The observant Professor Kalm thus entertainingly explains the custom and its practice in New Jersey in the middle of the eighteenth century: "There is a peculiar diverting custom here, in regard to marrying. When a man dies, and leaves his widow in great poverty, or so that she cannot pay all the debts with what little she has left, and that, notwithstanding all that, there is a person who will marry her, she must be married in no other habit than her shift. By that means, she leaves to the creditors of her deceased husband her cloaths, and every thing which they find in the house. But she is not obliged to pay them any thing more, because she has left them all she was worth, even her cloaths, keeping only a shift to cover her, which the laws of the country cannot refuse her. As soon as she is married, and no longer belongs to the deceased husband, she puts on the cloaths which the second has given her. The Swedish clergymen here have often been obliged to marry a woman in a dress which is so little expensive, and so light. This appears from the registers kept in the churches,1 and from the accounts given by the clergymen themselves. I have likewise often seen accounts of such marriages in the English gazettes, which are printed in these colonies; and I particularly remember the following relation: A woman went, with no other dress than her shift, out of the house of her deceased husband to that of her bridegroom, who met her half-way with fine new cloaths, and said, before all who were present, that he lent them his bride, and put them on her with his own hands. It seems, he said, that he lent the cloaths, lest, if he had said he gave them, the creditors of the first husband should come, and take them from her; pretending that she was looked upon as the relict of her first husband, before she was married to the second."2 1 Co. Litt. 351. 2 1 Rol. 321, 1. 25; 3 Mod. 186. 3 E. J. Deeds, Liber No. 3, f. 158.

>From Documents Relating to the Colonial History of New Jersey, Vol. 22 A MARRIAGE LICENSE IN 1695. The following is the oldest New Jersey marriage license known to be in existence: "THE GOVERNOUR AND PROPRIETORS of the Province of East New Jersey, To Any of his Majesties Justices of the peace In the sayd Province, to whose hands these presents shall come, GREETING Whereas Application hath beene made unto us In behalfe of Grasham Mote and Sarah Clayton both of Middletoun In the Countie of Munmouth to bee Joyned In Marriage, And WEE being certainelie Informed that the sayd Grasham Mote and Sarah Clayton are free and unmarried persones THESE are therefore to Authorize and Impower you to Joyne the sayd persones In the holy bond of Matrimonie In usuall forme, for which these presents shall bee your warrant GIVEN under the Seale of the sayd Province the twelth day of ffebruarie Anno Dom: 1696.

Hi Debbie, The passage you requested on pg. 185 of Stillwell (vol. 4) states "1721, Nov. 30. Mordecai Lincoln reversed this legal status, and became plaintiff in a suit against John Lining, for a debt of L11-9-0. Defendant was non est." The "legal status" referred to is a series of lawsuits against Mordecai Lincoln by the estate of John Bowne, uncle of Mordecai's wife. In the case between Mordicai Lincoln and John Liming, it is actually John Liming who is the defendant, and not Mordecai as you had it written. You should contact the Monmouth County Archives in Manalapan, NJ. They may be able to find the records for this case. For the Liming wills I have the following: 14 Jun 1757 John Liming, Sr. of Upper Freehold, yeoman. Wife Dinah. Children: John, Henry, William, Thomas, De Wilda, Dinah Everingham, Mary and Sarah. Children of daughter Kesiah Combs: Lydia, Dinah. Lib 9 p. 54 16 Feb 1760 Dewilde Liming (Lemmon) of Burlington City. Mother Dinah Lemmon. Siblings: Henry, Thomas, Dinah Everingham, Mary, and Sarah. Lib 9, p. 439. No spouse is named. 7 Jun 1757 Thomas Combs of Upper Freehold, yeoman. Wife Kesiah. Children John, James, Lydia, and Dinah. Executors wife and son John. Lib 9, P. 166. It is interesting that Kesiah was not named in her father's will a week later. 7 Apr 1748 William Liming of Upper Freehold, yeoman. Wife Deborah, Children Daniel, John, Deborah, Lidah, Elizabeth, and Sara. Lib 6, p. 26. I did not find Henry or John Lyming. You can order copies of the original wills from the New Jersey State Archives.

The Woolley section of Stillwell Vol V, is on line in the Monmouth tidbits section of the USGW archives. Not listed there, but have seen Emanuel's wife, Elizabeth, listed as Elizabeth Isbell. They did not come to NJ. Also show Mary 1657-1723 who married Judah Allen also marrying a Thomas Foreman. No dates or locations.... -- joe

Hi Rick, The latest Popes found in Stillwell are taken from cemetery inscriptions at the Dutch Reformed Church Yard in Middletown (vol. 2, p. 298): Winfield S. Pope, son of Alfred and Phebe, died Oct 11 1862, age 15 yrs., 6 mos., 3 days. Elizabeth, daughter of Alfred and Phebe, died March 27, 1848, aged 2 yrs., 8 mos., 27 days. Elizabeth, daughter of Alfred and Phebe, died an infant. I have nothing on an Andrew Pope.
