This is from the following person who does not belong to Essex and Morris County Rootsweb. You can send any answers to query to me and I will send them to her. Judy Ullman Paula LeMasters ([email protected]) "My William H Zeliff was b 1877 in Texas to Franklin Pierce Zeliff and Permelia Ann Rutledge. Franklin's parents were David P Zeliff and Deliza Ballou. David P Zeliff was b 1809 in Essex County, New Jersey. He married Deliza Ballou 1836 in Cattaraugus County, New York. I later found David and Deliza Zeliff in Indiana in 1850. They moved sometime after that to Texas. I would be glad to share all that I have. David and Deliza is the furthest I have.

William Penn owned property in Morris County. It was known as Penn's Tract. Part of it was in the Montville section of Pequanock. Has anyone seen a map or a description of the property? I looked in the William Penn papers and the notes of the East Jersey Proprietors. Those books mention he owned property but no description or map. Judy Ullman

I have a deed that mentions Captain Baldwin's property. This is all I know about him. Judy Ullman Morris County Deeds for the Mourison, Morrison, MowersonFamilies 1796 Deed Book C, p 27 15 Jul 1796 between Dennis Daly and Rachel, his wife, of Pequanock and Mowerse John Mourison of Pequanock for Sum 95 pounds 16 shillings money of state of NY of gold orsilver      QUIT CLAIM     Land Pequanock.  Beginning 7 rods west of house of Captain Daniel Baldwin now lives to an old stump on the North side of the road  thence North bounded on the said land to John Davenport’sland along said line to road thence as road runs to said beginning supposed to contain 6 acres more or less and also another tract being in town of aforesaid.  Beginning at a stake corner of course S64E1c55l to SE corner of a stone house on said lands thence running west 13c26l to lands of Samuel Stiles thence by the said Stiles land N6c32l to lands of JohnDavenport  E7c46l to a stake in the road thence along the road to the first corner containing 6 acres and 52/100 acres strict measure.  Signed by Dennis and Rachel Daly  Witnesses were Jacob Mowerson and James VanDuyne.  12 Nov 1796 John J.

Is anyone researching the Baldwin surname? Is anyone familiar with a Capt. S. Baldwin who would have been old enough for a nephew to serve in the Revolution? Who did he marry? Was the S for Steven? any help much appreciated, sharon rhodes

Posted on: Morris County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NJ/Morris/1762 Surname: Utter, DeGraw ------------------------- I made an error on the date of marriage. It should have read 1879 not 1979. The only interest that I have in this family is the Utter connection. If anyone would like information on the Utter family, please contact me personally.

John Losey, son of John (Jan) Losey and Jane (Jannetje) Brouwer, born about 1723 m Hannah Holbard on 16 Aug 1749 in First Presbyterian Church, Morristown, NJ. Seversmith lists 15 children baptised at First Presbyterian Church, Morristown. I was wondering if anyone had comments on this. John, his father John and his father's brother William all had children baptised there during the same years. John the father lists his children in his will so they are correct. The problem is the 15 children of John the son. William also had a son John (Jan) baptised 1727, are some of these children his? Did William's son stay in NY? Did he die young? Did John, son of John, really have 15 children? John b 1723 had a son John b 1766, possibly the one who m Sarah, communicants of same church 1 Nov 1796. Thats not possible because John b 1766 was listed as dying July 1788, same month and year as his brother? Abner b 1770. So there must be another John which leads me back to William's son John, who must have had a son John, or was it William's grandson who died? Not likely since John Jr. named a daughter Phebe, the name of William's wife. any help appreciated, Sharon Rhodes

Puddling is the part of the process of making iron from the ore. As the concentrate was heated (I suppose in a large pot) charcoal was added to it. Charcoal is wood that has been heated in such a way as to be short of oxygen so the carbon atoms look for an oxygen atom to grab on to and pull the oxygen out of the iron ore (FeO) leaving iron. Near the end of the century, coke (coal heated in an oxygen-scarce place) replaced charcoal except in certain highly specific uses, such as the making of railway wheels. Anyway, the puddler stirred the iron and charcoal together. It must have been a stinky hot job. Judy Pisano wrote: > --- "John H.

NJ descendants of the CT St. John Family may work out their relationship to G. W. Bush through his father.

I stand corrected. Gerald Ford's father was Leslie Lynch King. Lynch was his paternal grandfather, I think. I don't think we should underplay the nurture side of people since Pres. Ford certainly thought so much of his adoptive father that he chose his name (and all of it) over that of his genetic father. I was addressing the maternal line, so I trust my error did not confuse anyone. [email protected] wrote: > I thought Gerald Ford ws born Leslie King, Jr.
