Am new to your group, hope I do this correctly and can contribute. I have pursued my Reynolds to New Jersey and lost them. Am seeking the ancestors of my ggg grandfather William ? Reynolds or ggggrandmother, Mary Anderson, b. June 8, 1821, NJ,near Trenton. William is believed born in NJ,moved to Indiana via Ohio. Mary Anderson and family also moved to IN. when she was 12 years of age. Mary and William were subsequently married in Bartholomew Co. IN. on Sept. 12, 1837. Children= Ardra (s) = Richard = Samuel = David = Lewis Gordon (Gord) = John and possibly a William. The parents of the elder William possibly David Reynolds and Nancy Jackson, birth place unknown. Another Reynolds who shows up is James Reynolds, NJ, died before 1810 in NJ. Married to Margaret Miller, middle name may have been Peggy. The decendents of James, thru his son Miles of NJ appear in Bartholomew Co. IN. in the same time frame as William and Mary. Wife of Miles = Lydia Cottrell, married Sept. 17, 1829 Monmouth Co. NJ Appreciate any leads and am willing to share any thing I have on Reynolds and relatives. Wayne

Just to give a little aside on the bit that Linda posted..... Boog became DeBow in NJ! Pat

We have found reference to some early Monmouth shore dwellers in association with the term "coasting vessel". From what I've been able to put together, these boats carried cargo between New York, Philadelphia, and as far as Virginia. I've seen occasional mention of these boats being made but have never yet seen a drawing of one, so have no idea how big they were, what shape, etc. Anyone have any clues. Thanks. Barbara

Stillwell mentions that Dr. Christopher Tallman mortgaged lands at Strawberry Neck and Smoky Pond in 1770. Does anyone know whether these places were in Monmouth County and, if so, where? Thanks, Margaret Bailey auntiem@nac.net

cottrells were big family in cheesequake, madison twsp which is now( !) called old bridge twsp. on rt 516 there is herbert cottrell farm, or there used to be.

Thanks for the info.... and the file will check it out and see how it looks. See you are in VA Beach!! got a good genie friend in Hampton. and a niece who lives in VA Beach. Cya, -- joe

Thanks very much Linda, these names will be a great help! Perhaps now some of the names on the census will start to make sense, lol.

There are numbers by the maps and articles. I guess one is supposed to print out the order page and then fill in the numbers of the maps you want and mail the form. There's a little explanation somewhere on the pages, on top or bottom as I recall. Also an explanation of price structure, which is by page copied. Margaret

History of Queens County The Reformed (Dutch) Church of Jamaica The organization of this church at Jamaica is veiled in obscurity. It seem to have Occurred before 1702, for the first record of baptism is dated June 1st of that year. But long before this time the Dutch had gradually been emigrating from Kings county into the western part of Queens, for we find twenty-one Dutch names among the contributors of a free gift (January 21st 1694) to Rev. Mr. Phillips, the Presbyterian minister at Jamaica. As there was a church built at the common expense of the town in 1600 it is probably that the Dutch ministers from New York and Kings county whenever they visited Jamacia officiated in it for the Dutch congregation, as one of the (Antonides) certainly did on Sunday September 20th 1709. In 1774 the congregation paid L40 New York money for their share of the services of the ministers of Kings county. April 29th 1715 the elders and deacons of the Dutch congregation throughout all Queens county resolved unanimously to build a church at Jamaica. The sum of L361.18.6 was raised by subscription. The surnames of the subscriptioners were Adriance, Ammerman,Antony, Atten,Barid, Barentse,bas, Beekman,Bergan, Berrien,Blaw, Blom, Boerum, Boog, Bras,Brinkerhoff,Burtis, Carpenter,Cockefer, Cornell, Covert, Crankheid,Demott, Ditmarse, Doesenburg, Dortlandt, Dreck, Dowe, Elderse, Edsall, Forest, Fortheisen,Fyn, Gennon, Gerritse, Glean, Goetbloet, Haff, Hardenburg, Hagewout, Haviland,Hendrickson, Hegeman,Hoogelandt,Jansen, Kip,Kolyer,Loosie, Lott,Lammerse,Lucasen, Luyster,Masten,Monfort, Montante,Norstrandt,Onderdonk,Polhemus, Probasco, Rapelye, Remsen,Reicke, Robertsen, Ryder, Schenck, Smith, Snedeker, Springsteen, Stevense,Teller, Van Cleef, Vanderbuilt, Van Hock, Van Leuwen, Van Lettingen, Van Nostrand, Van Wicklen, Van Wyck, Wiltse and Willemsen.

MY problem copying would be some parts are illegible and I would hate to mislead someone. Some of the names if you don't know what you are looking for, you would never guess what they are. Claire, I'm several days behind on answering messages. We will have everything proof read by others looking at the census image too, so you can't do any harm. For the most part, the films of the census are pretty good (1910 is notorious for being light). It is light on the right side of many pages, but readable, the left sides with the names are clear on all but a very few pages, in a couple of places. So we are lucky in that. Having the left side be light would have been terrible. I've heard but not seen that the CDs can enhance them greatly. So we can use them hopefully to do the difficult parts. Interpreting names is always a problem. I know I have found some interesting ones, like Haines for Harned. When I looked at the original on that one it did look like Haines. Transcribers can just do the best they can. There is an interesting lesson on deciphering old handwriting at <http://www.firstct.com/fv/oldhand.html> It includes some abbreviations for names, states and occupations that are interesting. Anything in question can be bracketed. I will get instructions to all volunteers on exactly how to deal with questions and light or illegible writing. Anita
