I am searching for the parents of Robert K. Tuttle who died 1864 and married Caroline Miller. I think he may be the son of Timothy Tuttle b 9/18/1748 d. 6/16/18?? married Mary Ward d. 6/5/1851 at 90 years of age and daughter of Timothy Cooper Ward. Are there any Tuttle experts out there who can confirm if this is correct? Linda

Dear List: Would anyone on the list be able to either go to the Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Succasunna and transcribe or take photos of some headstones for me, or have a book of transcriptions for this cemetery that they could do a look-up in? Thanks to the wonderful Morris County, NJ Web site, I found some headstones transcribed for some of my Jardine ancestors. I telephoned the cemetery office and there are more buried in the cemetery than are transcribed on to the website as its transcription to the webpage is a work-in-progress. Also, the cemetery office was only able to give me the date that a person was buried there, not what is written on the headstones. Now I would like to know what is written on those headstones. I would be more than happy to re-imburse someone for their time, mileage, and other costs in doing this. Any takers? Marg in Snowy Alberta, Canada

Hi Listmembers, I'm looking for the parents of William Coates Smith. Below is what I know about the family. I have searched Monmouth and Burlington Counties without much luck. I have a lot on the Limings thanks to some very nice people on that side of the family. I had thought William was a Quaker but I think that has been disproved. I don't know for sure what county he was born in. His death certificate just says NJ. Any help would be appreciated.

Kay, I have found the records of the First Presbyterian Church in Morristown, NJ (1742-1882) in the Daughters of the American Revolution library in Washington, D.C. I only copied the pages that included my family names, but the first page happens to be one of them. There is no record of Conrad Adams. The only Adams listed are: Aaron, Joseph, William, Chloe, John, and Lydia. The William Adams died 6 May 1826, age 47. The Aikmans are: Alexander m. 8 Jan 1764 to Elizabeth Lewis. Margaret m. 18 Jan 1753 to John Brown William renewed covenant 12 Aug 1758 " m. Letitia Bailees 8 Dec 1756; renewed Covenant 12 Aug 1758 Jane Baptized 20 Aug 1758; m. 13 Apr 1777 to John Beach Hannah Baptized on wife's account 29 March 1761 Rebecca Baptized on wife's account 14 Oct 1770 That is all on the Aikmans. If you want the info on the Adams, let me know. I do not have any information on the Hilltop Church. Hope this helps. Dorothy On Fri, 30 Mar 2001 14:01:59 -0700 "William C.

I have a 1936 yearbook for Morristown High School and would be glad to do lookups. Linda in Colorado

I have just joined the list, hoping to find evidence of a Conrad Adams. We do know that Conrad was married (wife's name unknown) and had three children William, Eleanor, and Elizabeth. Conrad and his three children are found in what is now, Columbia County, PA (Northumberland Co. then) on the 1790 census. He appeared in Pennsylvania about the same time that the Aikman family from Morris Co, NJ. arrived and both families were instrumental in the establishment of a Presbyterian Church there. It appears that Conrad's daughter, Eleanor (or Nell), married an Aikman son. I have been told that there were two churches, First Presbyterian in Morristown and also a Hilltop Church where the Aikman family had marriages recorded. Hopefully, there is a record of Conrad Adams attending one of these churches also. Have any of the church records of these two churches been filmed? Or, were there other Presbyterian churches in Morris County prior to 1790. Kay Winter Colorado Springs, CO

Hi, I'm new to the list-reaearching my grandparents-Eugenia and Benjamin TYLICK-who lived at 21 King St in Morristown-during the 1930s-1970s. Wondering what newspapers-for an obit-might have been available in the 1940s? Thanks, Nancy, Orlando __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Does anyone "out there" know of a William CONNOR/CONNER or a John DOUGHERTY that might have been in Morris County abt 1760-1780? I have seen evidence that William Connor joined the Rev War effort at Morristown and was in the NJ Line. Apparently, he joined the same unit as his step-father, John Dougherty. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dan in Nebraska _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

I have a pair of questions from opposite ends of the county. The records of the First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains shows Peter Van Houten and wife Elizabeth Berry baptising at least seven children at the church. for baptisms in 1801 (Maria), 1805 (James), and 1816 (Martin) Elizabeth uses what is apparently her maiden name Elizabeth Berry. In 1811 (Ellen) and 1813 (Sarah Ann) she uses Elizabeth Allen. In 1808 (Elizabeth) no last name is given for the mother. My question is how does the name Allen fit here? When Elizabeth Berry was born in 1782 no father is listed in her baptism (mother: Elizabeth Berry). I have looked through several published genealogies for Van Houtens, Roomes, and Ryersons who mention Elizabeth Berry (b. 1782) but they have contradictory data and have only confused the issue for me. Any advise would be welcome. In Dover, I am looking for information on the family of David and Sarah Ann (Evans) Sims. Both were born in Walse and David died in 1929 in Newark and Sarah Ann in 1926 in Dover. Both are buried in Orchard Street Cemetery, Dover. I have a good deal of information on their ten children but have several bits of missing information on births and marriages. Also looking for David;s and Sarah Ann's parent. Many thanks for any help you can provide. Bob Bailey

Posted on: Morris County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NJ/Morris/11983 Surname: AYERS, COLLUM ------------------------- I am looking for a marriage record on William COLLUM and Catharine AYERS about 1784/5. Are there marriage bonds for Morris County and where are they located?

Kathleen: I've inserted my responses to your posting below: > I have Bicknell's Crane Genealogy where Edwards female children > are listed as : Eunice, Affie, Pheoby, Abigail, and Benonie. Yes, Ellery Bicknell Crane's "Crane Genealogy" shows the five daughters of Edmond (not Edward) in the fourth generation of the section titled "Jasper Crane." > In his 1761 will, Edward mentions (females only listed here) > Daughter Affia Persons, Rhoda Person. > Granddaughter Abigail Squire (of Jonathan Squire). Edmund Crane did die in 1761. Rhoda is Phoeby according to the "Crane Chronicles," of which I have photocopied selected pages. Crayon's book, "Rockaway Records of Morris County Families" lists her as Phoeby. This Phoeby Crane, b. 1743, married Isaac Pierson, and later, Jonathan Thompson. The "Crane Chronicles" also refer to Presbyterian Church of Morristown records of 'Rhode' Crane and Isaac Pierson. I don't know who the grand daughter, Abigail Squire, is. Even the eldest son (Stephen Crane) was not old enough to have had a married daughter at the time of Edmond Crane's death. This is a puzzle. > When Rick initially proposed this Abigail as his missing wife, I > looked at > Edward's family and his will and thought the dau. Abigail > probably married a > Squire, which let her out of the running. I really don't have enough > information at hand to decide either way. But, you said above that Abigail Squire was a grand daughter. Edmond's daughter Abigail, if she were alive, would have been but nine years old at the time of her father's death. I don't think we can draw any conclusions. Mrs. Crane-Coriston appears to have done a thorough job of researching this family and, as I stated in my earlier message to this list, she says that no known records have been found that indicate Abigail Crane (b. 1752) survived childhood. > I do have some questions though, and I'm hoping someone (Ed, I > really mean > you!) can help straighten me out. Can anyone tell me what happened to the > daughters? Who's Rhoda? Who married Jonathan Squire? According to data I've seen, Rhoda/Phoeby married a Pierson and a Thompson, as stated above. I don't know where Jonathan Squire comes into the picture. Next time I'm in Morristown or another well stocked library I'll check indexes of various sources. Affia and Phoeby are the only daughters for whom information beyond birth is known to be available. Eunice and Abigail are presumed to have died at infancy or an early age because they were not mentioned in their father's will. Benonie was born the year of her father's death and there is no known information that indicates she survived childhood. >Which Abraham Pierson did Affia marry, and which Pierson did Rhoda marry (I don't see > them in the index of the Pierson Millennium)? There were so many Abrahams among so many Piersons, it's a wonder we can sort them out. Having a need to double-check some of my Pierson information, I'm reluctant to put much detail in this message. Affia (aka Affie) Crane (1740-1808) married Abraham Pierson (1735-1792) 24 January 1759. This Abraham (b. 1735) was son of Abraham (b. 1707), son of Abraham (b. 1676), son of Thomas (b. ca. 1642). After a couple of more Abrahams we should find Henry Pierson. There are also enough Thomases to make things difficult. Affia Crane and Abraham Pierson had eight children, one of whom, Zillah Pierson, married Luke Carter of Bottle Hill. This is where my interests are. > Finally, would you tell me a little more about the "Crane > Chronicles"? What is this and what does it cover? The "Crane Chronicles" is a privately published book on genealogy of the Crane family. Published in 2000, a copy was purchased by the Morristown Joint Free Public Library. I would like to own a copy but could find no reference on how to contact the author, Jo Ann Crane-Coriston, or the publisher. I have asked one of the librarians to see if she could find a purchase order or an invoice, a possible source for this information. Mrs. C rane-Coriston descends from Edmond Crane and Abigail Kitchel. Ed Burnet

Hi Ed and Rick, I have Bicknell's Crane Genealogy where Edwards female children are listed as : Eunice, Affie, Pheoby, Abigail, and Benonie. In his 1761 will, Edward mentions (females only listed here) Daughter Affia Persons, Rhoda Person. Granddaughter Abigail Squire (of Jonathan Squire). When Rick initially proposed this Abigail as his missing wife, I looked at Edward's family and his will and thought the dau. Abigail probably married a Squire, which let her out of the running. I really don't have enough information at hand to decide either way. I do have some questions though, and I'm hoping someone (Ed, I really mean you!) can help straighten me out. Can anyone tell me what happened to the daughters? Who's Rhoda? Who married Jonathan Squire? Which Abraham Pierson did Affia marry, and which Pierson did Rhoda marry (I don't see them in the index of the Pierson Millennium)? Finally, would you tell me a little more about the "Crane Chronicles"? What is this and what does it cover?

I see some of you discussing the CRANE family in Morristown, NJ - I have a Susanna Crane b 1784 father Elijah and mother Sarah Hill- Susanna married Frederick DEMott or DEmouth or DeMuth Do you have any info?? Marsha Bybee Soda Springs, ID

Rick: Your message, below, speculates that Abigail Crane, b. May 1752, dau. of Edmond Crane, may have married Jedidiah Frost. Of the twelve children by Edmond Crane and Abigail Kitchel, there are three daughters about whom nothing more than a birth date is known...or so it seems. These three, the only children not mentioned in their father's will, are Eunice Crane, Abigail Crane, and Benonie Crane (female). In the "Crane Chronicles" by Jo Ann Crane-Cortison, the following appears on p. 79: ABIGAIL CRANE-b. 28 May 1752. There are no other records of Abigail Crane, and she is not named in her father's will of 1761. This most likely suggests that Abigail Crane died in infancy or early childhood. "Genealogy of the Crane Family" by Ellery Bicknell Crane shows this Abigail Crane being born 28 May 1752 (as no. 139) but provides no further reference to her. Incidentally, my interests are with Abigail's sister, Affia Crane, who married Abraham Pierson and lived in Morristown.

Kelly, Arthur C. 1997, Protestant Reformed Church, Acquackenock, 929.3749 P28 V: Item 26, 26 Jul 1735, Pieter Mouritzen m Mareytie Spier After looking at genealogies on World Family Tree on the marriage of Peter Mowerson and Mareytie Spier I decided to check the Acq records and found they were not married in 1753 but 1735. There is still a problem with date of birth on both of them. Most list date of birth about 1720. This is to early. They would have been 15. Does anyone have any sources that give date of birth for Peter or Maritje? The Early Spier Family by Janet T. Reimer, NJGM, Jan 1980, Vol 55, number 1 lists 48. Maritje, m. Pieter Mauritzen: marriage banns on 26 Jul 1735 at Acquankanonk; children: 1. Jacob, bp 27 Apr 1742 at Gansegat (Ac); 2. Gerretje, b 25 Jun 1749, (SRCR). The next child listed is 49. Helena Spier. She married Hendrik Mandeviel. He was bp 25 Dec 1727. None of children of Frans Spier and Dierckje Cornelise m 17 May 1705 have bp records. Frans names the 8 children in his will. Judy Ullman

Hello listers, I'm looking for any info on my paternal gg grandparents, Michael KELLY and Lydia STARK. Per the 1850 Census they were living in Roxbury Twp. The following family members were listed: Michael Kelly Age 39 Farmer Born in Ireland Lydia Kelly Age 21 Born in NJ Mary Kelly Age 3 Born in NJ Maria Kelly Age 1 Born in NJ Mary Stark Age 20 Born in NJ Hettie Maria KELLY is my g grandmother. Her death certificate lists her mother as Lydia STARK of Flanders, NJ and her father as Michael KELLY of Ireland. They do not show up again in the 1860 Census, at least not in Roxbury Twp.
