Hi Howard, It sounds like it might be an effort to obtain a pension for service in The War Between The States (Civil War). There are records of all pension applications at the National Archives in Washington, DC.

Hi Listers, I have a question on how to find birth records for N.J. and I am going to assume Monmouth county. I am looking for the birth records of an Ann Elizabeth Testin, born September 1854, John Testin, born October 1856 and Jacob Testin born November 1857. I am assuming Monmouth county because this is where I found the grandparents in 1870 census records and the grandmother's death record after that. I am particularly looking for birth places of parents and the mother's maiden name. Any ideas? Patti

Hello Fellow Listers, I need help. I have obtained a photostatic copy of a sworn deposition by a soldier who served in the 11th New Jersey regiment. I am fairly certain that the deposition was taken in Monmouth County,probably in Freehold or Matawan,in April of 1871. The exact location does not show up on the copy,nor does the name of the notary . There is,however,a number on the document which probably denotes the file location. I am trying to locate the original. Does anyone know where it could be found? Howard Cole __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Is there a listing on-line of the burials in the Golden Cemetery, located near Middletown or Holmdel? I am interested in the Stillwell and Williams burials. I believe Phebe Stillwell, d 17 Oct 1826, is buried there. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Mike Morrissey

I am working on a line related to my STEVENS line from Indiana, and doing descendant research as well as working on ancestors. One of these descendants ended up moving to Neptune, NJ, and died there October 10, 1980. If anyone could help me out w an obit lookup for John L WOOD on that date in the local newspaper, I would really appreciate it. Jacqi

Hello Fellow Listers, I have learned recently that my great grandfather served in the 11th New Jersey regiment in the Civil War.Parts of the 11th NJ were raised in Monmouth County. Is anyone on the list familiar with the 11th NJ or does anyone have a copy of the history of the regiment?

Sooo, please cut and paste this into your browser.... it is not just the humans who are suffering and dying. http://news.bestfriends.org/index.cfm?page=specialreports&mode=cat&catid=040 61773-BDB9-396E-9001EF6EC01318A4 Aside from Best Friends (above), aspca.org, alleycatallies.org, hsus.org, and several other sites are collecting for the animals (pets and wild) and sending teams to rescue and retrieve. Two HSCI investigators are certified Emergency Animal Rescue Service volunteers (www.ears.org) which is through United Animal Nations, and they may soon be dispatched! But all costs must be covered by donations. Many people are giving to the Red Cross, but the Red Cross is not allowing animals in it's facilities...it is solely focused on the people. So we have to support these other groups as well!

Allentown, N.J., its rise and progress, Part 26 09/01/2005 (javascript: openEmailWindow();) _Email to a friend_ (javascript: openEmailWindow();) (javascript: openOpinionWindow();) _Voice your opinion_ (javascript: openOpinionWindow();) (http://www.zwire.com/site/printerFriendly.cfm?brd=1091&dept_id=425690&newsid=15137461) _Printer-friendly_ (http://www.zwire.com/site/printerFriendly.cfm?brd=1091&dept_id=425690&newsid=15137461) HISTORICALLY SPEAKING This installment begins with property ownership along Church Street, once known as Paine Street in honor of Thomas — from Charles R. Hutchinson writings in 1888. May 16, 1749, "Joseph Stennard of the City of Philadelphia," &c. conveyed to "Robert Newell, of the county of Monmouth," &c. for L150, "All those two Lotts of Land situated, lying and being in Allenstown, &c: Beginning upon the north side of York Road, at the southeast corner of a Lott of Land belonging to Lewis Carree, dec'd: From thence running along said York Road, N53o easterly, Eight Rods in breadth at the front and four Roads in breadth at the rear, and in length N37oW 37 Rods; containing 222 perches, after an allowance for an Elbow to a small Road to remain for 210 perches, And Also another Lott of Land, situate as aforesaid: Beginning on the north side of York Road, two chains and twenty foot on a course N53oE, from the southeast corner of the Lott of Land formerly belonging to Lewis Carree, deceased: Thence running along Trentown Road, N37o W3,35: Thence N53oE 75 links in breadth: Thence S37o E3,35 to said York Raod: Thence S53oW 75 links to the place of beginning: containing one quarter and acre. Which said two Lotts of Land was conveyed to said Elias Smith by deed of sale bearing date the 22d day of February in the year 1743/4," &c. The lot first above mentioned extended from the easterly corner of the Baptist Church lot to the middle of Church Street, including on Main Street the dwelling and drug store of Edward H. Hendrickson, the store of Miller Coward, and the brick block occupied by Alice A. Jones and Charles A. Spaulding; and on Church Street all the lots to about where is now the line between Hilles C. Jones and Mrs. Addie H. Beatty, opposite Hamilton Street. Where Church Street now is, was what had been called "the drift road," which passed around the rear of this lot, one chain, on an elbow, and along the remaining lots, crossing Indian Run below Thomas Patterson's shops, somewhere about where James Woby's house now is. The second lot was on the northeasterly corner of Main and Church Streets, where Howard D. Bunting's store now is, and extended on Church Street to the northerly line of the lot, now belonging to the estate of Amos A. Bunting, deceased. September 14, 1775, Elizabeth Mount conveyed this lot to "Colonel" David Hay, and he lived there until his death in 1835, when it was sold by his administrators to Samuel C. Newell. May 1, 1790, "Nathan Robins and Joice, his wife, of the township of Mansfield in the county of Burlington," &c. conveyed to "Doctor James Newell, of Allen Town," &c. for L200, "All that Lott or tract of land situate near Allen Town aforesaid, Beginning at a hickory saplin standing at the northeast corner of Stinyard's Lott, now occupied by Edonijah Francis: Thence (1) N36o,30'W, along Aaron Robins's line, 23 chains to John Imlay's line: Thence (2) S45oW to Indian Run, 2,40: Thence (3) down the run several courses thereof to Trenton Road: Thence (4) along the eastside of the road, S32oE 10 chains: Thence (5) S37o E10,15: Thence (6) N57oE along said Stinyard's line 13,55 to the beginning containing 28½ acres of land," &c. This lot was bounded by Indian Run; easterly by the westerly line of the Methodist Cemetery and other lands to a hickory tree which stood 1,48 southeast of Hamilton Street, at the rear line of the present lots on the southerly side of that street; southerly by said line, and westerly at or near the rear line of the lots on the westerly side of Church Street. Up to this time it had always remained in the Robins family, Nathan being a grandson of Aaron ( ) the first settler. The lot lying south of the 28 ½ acres above described, bounded northerly by the Hamilton Street lots, easterly by the line between the premises now of William R. Forsyth and the Episcopal Church lot &c., southerly by Main Street and westerly by Church Street (excepting the two small adjoining lots then owned by David Hay), appears to have then been in the possession of Joseph Stinyard, and was known as the "Brick [or Upper] Tavern" lot. This was a noted hostelry in its day, located on [32 N] Main Street, about where George S. Hankins now lives. Adonijah Francis kept it for a long time. He was there as early as 1783: [Upper Freehold] Town Meeting was held at his house "in Allenstown in 1785, 1789, 1793 and the town book, in the last named year, shows that he paid a "tavern tax" of L2. Samuel Gordon was also there at one time and Major William Montgomery from 1805 to 1808. Its last landlord appears to have been William Arnel, who was commonly known as "General" Arnel, although the title has no real significance, and who eventually removed to Bordentown. In 1817, this lot was a part of the real estate of Samuel Quay, deceased, which was then sold by commissioners appointed for that purpose, and was divided into lots, those on Main Street being numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Lot No.1 five chains in width and 8,74 in depth, was that on which the brick tavern stood, and was I think, then purchased by Robert Montgomery. The other five Main Street lots were each one chain in width, extending to David Hay's line (now the estate of Amos A. Bunting deceased), and northerly to the rear line of the whole lot, the only buildings on which, at that time, so far as appears, were the brick tavern and the residence of Colonel Hay. Joseph Stinyard who appears to have been by occupation a drover, is found in Philadelphia in 1735, when the "New England Weekly Journal," for April 14, of that year contained an item dated Philadelphia, March 27, concerning a remarkably fat ox which had been killed by him and sold in the Philadelphia market; and in Watson's Annals, Vol.2 page 483, in 1736 an ox is announced "to be roasted whole, for public entertainment, in the Northern Liberties, at J. Stennard's": which leads to the suspicion that he also kept a public house there. The name is variously written: Stinyard, Stannard, Stenard, Stennard, &c. but all evidently apply to the same person. June 22, 1748 William Burnet of Perth Amboy, &c. Merchant, conveyed to Joseph Stannard of the city of Philadelphia, &c. for L140, "All that Tract of Land in Monmouth County, &c. Beginning where Baker's Line crosseth Negroes Run: Thence along the said line, N10o E46,70 to a Black oak tree marked on four sides: Thence S85oW 42 chains to a small Black oak for corner: Thence N5o W2,90 to Shrewsbury Road: Thence along said Road, N78oW 24 chains to a small Black oak marked for a corner: Thence S20oW 49 chains to said Negroes Run: Thence down the said Run to a corner of Matthew Allen's Land, to a White oak tree marked for a corner: Thence along the said Allen's line, S11oW 14 chains, be it more or less, to a White oak for a corner: Thence S79o E46,75 be it more or less, to a corner: Thence N11oE 18 chains, be it more or less, to the aforesaid Run: Thence up the several courses of said Run to the place of beginning, containing 348 acres, be the same more of less," &c. This tract, lying chiefly on the southerly side of the Shrewsbury Road and bounded easterly by Baker and Burnet's line, is now in the possession of Adam Spence, George V. Taylor, Laura A. Nelson, and others. In 1758, Joseph Stinyard was taxed in Upper Freehold for 340 acres of land, which was probably the same. November 25, 1778, Doctor James Newell conveyed a part of it (now Spence and Taylor), containing 201 acres, to Richard Potts of New Hanover Township, Burlington County, for L750. May 23, 1749, "Jedediah Allen, of the county of Monmouth, yeoman," and "Joseph Stannard, of the city of Philadelphia, Drover," were sureties on a bond for license of marriage for said Jedediah Allen and Mary Allen of same county, spinster." August 3, 1750, "Sarah Allen, widow of Nathan Allen the younger, and Robert Lawrence, both of Upper Freehold, &c. executors of said Nathan Allen, deceased, conveyed to "Joseph Stinyard, of Philadelphia, &c. Gentleman," for L3, "a small piece of land near Allenstowne, Beginning on the south side of Indian Run, at the westerly edge of the road, which leads from Allenstown to Trenton: Thence running S48oE 92 links: Thence S54oW 4 chains: Thence S70o W9,80: Thence running S86oW 10 chains: Thence S7oE 1 chain to said Indian Run: Thence along said run several courses thereof to the beginning; containing three acres." This lot was a narrow strip extending along the high bank on the southerly side of Indian Run from the Trenton Road as it was then located, westerly, to a point parallel with the westerly line of the William I. Cafferty farm, which, with the land now John P. Nelson's and the Buzby farm, appears to have been in the possession of Joseph Stinyard. January 21, 1756, "Pontius Stelle, Esq. of the township of Shrewsbury," &c. released to Joseph Stinyard, of the city of Philadelphia," &c. a strip of land on the northerly line of "the plantation which the said Joseph formerly bought of the said Pontius," and adjoining "the land belonging to William Ford," containing 15.70 acres, which was evidently a part of the tract now Buzby, Cafferty and Nelson. January 17, 1761 "Joseph Stinyard, of New Windsor, in the county of Middlesex, &c. Gent," conveyed to William Page, of the township of Chesterfield in the county of Burlington," &c. the above mentioned premises, containing about 250 acres. This deed, which is only an unrecorded fragment, is signed "Joseph Stenard." It was found among the papers of the late John I. Beatty, deceased, whose father, Richard L. Beatty, was a former owner of the Buzby farm. It appears from it that Joseph Stinyard (or Stenard) was living on that farm in 1761. I have no further information concerning him. ©PACKETONLINE News Classifieds Entertainment Business - Princeton and Central New Jersey 2005

Paul was born around 1860-Nov 1863 according to various Censuses. He was most likely born in Union County, PA. He is listed in Philadelphia, PA in the 1880 Census and on the 1890 Philadelphia Directory. His daughter Suzie B DODGE was born in presumably Philadelphia, PA in 1892. He moved to Asbury Park, Monmouth County between 1892 and 1900. He is listed as living in Asbury Park, NJ on the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 Census. At this point I lose track of him. I have no record of his death or burial. Does someone have any ideas as to where to look now. Any help is appreciated. Thank you Michelle Horvath

REBECCA STERN is my brickwall. She was my 3 gr.grandmother. I know she was the mother of 6 children by THOMAS BULLOCK of Burlington County. Thomas was b. 1781 but do not have Rebecca's birth date nor place. Her first child was born 1813 so I assume Rebecca was born circa 1790+. The first child was John Bullock, my 2gr.grandfather. I have no marriage record but she and Thomas were granted a divorce by NJ legislature in 1829. In 1820, Thomas ran an ad in the NJ Mirror saying he was not responsible for any debts of "my wife, Rebecca." so am assuming a marriage. In a lawsuit that involved them both, all 6 children were claimed "legitimate" altho' the first was born "before the marriage." Thomas inherited funds from an uncle - by- marriage, John Butcher. After his divorce, Thomas married ANN ROBBINS FOSTER, widow, in Hunterdon Co., May 7, 1834. Rebecca died, according to legal papers, July 10, 1839, whereabouts unknown. Any clue to the origins of REBECCA STERN would be appreciated. Mayann Ross, Ft. Myers, FL. MaizieAnn@aol.com
