I am interested in contacting descendants of Richard Oats Richards and his wife Elizabeth Rowe. In the 1881 census, they lived in Randolph, Morris Co., New Jersey.

In a message dated 2/7/04 8:56:48 AM Eastern Standard Time, jule@iowatelecom.net writes: You supplied the name of James's parents. I would appreciate it, if you would check for his Father's Parents. Charles H. Tunis, b: 1839, Morristown. Maybe 1840 or up census would have his parents. If I can get that I would probably be able to find the rest of the family. Thanks for all you do.. Lea Hi Lea, Ok I found on the 1850 census: BENJAMIN, Stout(?) C., age 85, M, Farmer, born in NJ TUNIS, Stephen W., age 32, M TUNIS, Mary age 44, F SPENSER(?), Sarah M, 18, F TUNIS, Charles H., age 10, M. I would assume from this that Stephen and Mary were Charles' parents, and that Stout Benjamin was Mary's father and they were living with him. Not sure about the Sarah. Of course, that's all assumption unless you find something else to support it. I also found a birth record on the LDS site for a Carry Tunis (female), born February 13, 1863 to a Stephen W. Tunis and wife Sarah J. Tunis... in Hanover, Morris New Jersey. This could mean that Mary was not Stephen's wife, or maybe she was, and she died and he remarried a Sarah J. (this record was extracted from the records in the area, not submitted by members of the church.)

For morris county, I think parts survived in 1875, and most or all for 1885 and 1895. I have not checked 1905 and 1915 but I believe all of morris county exists for those years. I know morristown library has them, as I think NJ archives in Trenton, other libraries her ein NJ have parts of them. I am not aware of any county wide index for any state census for morris county. There might be some for individual townships but I am not aware of any offhand.

Seek this John Hambler/Hamler & His children: "John HAMBLER of Roxbury Twp, Morris County, dtd 25 Dec 1778; wife Catharean, Daus Mary CLINESMITH and Elizabeth HOUDERSHILT, Ann Catherine; sons John Nicholas, Daniel, Adam, Leonard, John and Jacob. Exec: Elisha BEACH, David THOMPSON. Wit: Samuel WILLS, James HOPKINS, and John RIGGS. Proved 2 Feb 1779 Liber 21 pg 33." Who was John Hambler/Hamler's father? Who were his children's children, etc. and spouses? Is he related to the * Hamler who was married to Anna Elizabeth Schmidt Bapt. 01 Mar 1713, NY? ["The Palatine Families of NY- 1710," by Hank Z. Jones Jr.] Johannes ("Hans") Hamler was b. 1713 in Gemingen, Germany>NY>Somerset Co., NJ. There are many of the same first names in Johannes's family as there are in Anna (Schmidt) Hamler's children's names: Andrew HAMLER Mary HAMLER Eva HAMLER Jacob HAMLER Peter HAMLER Nicolas HAMLER Elizabeth (Elisabeth) HAMLER Eva Hammler was Johannes's mother's name; Andrew Hamler appears in early NJ Tax Lists (1778, Somerset Co. where the Nicholas Hammler family came to live after arriving at the Port of New York) & I have a g-Uncle named Andrew Hamler; and Nicholas was Johannes's brother's and father's name. Several of us have been working on this conundrum for a long time. My GGrandfather was William H. Hamler (1807, Sussex Co, NJ - 1854, Sussex Co, NJ) Don't know who his father was but his father and he were all born in Sussex County, NJ; and my father, the late (John) Kenneth Hamler, was born in Morris County, NJ in 1908. Thanks for any tips and advice! Kathleen

Hi, Does anyone know if New Jersey recorded state censuses? Some states did and I wondered if New Jersey was among them? If so, for what years and how would one obtain a copy? Thanks Debbie Bleger

Looking for information on the Rightmire family who lived in Morris County New Jersey 1800's. Appear on Morris County N.J. web page in Roxbury township ....Mt Olive Bapt. Church Cemetery and Mt Olive Presb. Church records. May have a connection to the Fancher, Hilts, Hardenbrook, Auten, Toan, Spader, Koch, Vanderbilt, Van Pelt, and other families in the Morris, Somerset. Middlesex and Hunterdon Counties in New Jersey. Especially looking for any branch of these families that moved to Loudoun and/or Monongalia County Virginia even temporarily.....Trying to make a connection between my Rightmire family who appeared in Virginia around 1770's and 1780's and those in your area...Thanks for any help in advance

Kevin, I have a "smidgen" of "Dutch" blood,... my great-grandmother was a Van Etten whose family came from Ulster Co NY... and presumably descended from the first Van Etten , Jacob Jantsen of the Dutch era and area .. But am curious a to why you say to read the book "Daily Life in Rembrandt's Holland"? A few of list have commented on the genealogy "hobby"... and it is fun, and the best parts are finding an unusual "story" about one of ones' ancesstors who came to some disreputable ends. My husband and I have three or four of thsoe ....so it's amazing , isn't it, they we turned out so well! 9:-) Jeannette

Hello Jeannette; I recommend the book as the time period is roughly 1600-1660, when the early Dutch settlers left Holland and came to New Amsterdam. I purchased a used copy at Abebooks.com. I have found the Dutch fascinating and enjoy reading and learning about them. Take care, Kevin

Hi Kevin and gang, I just checked on the census again. None of these families has any connection to me, but I tweaked my interest. The families are all in the middle of the census returns for Chatham (pages 340+). Many of them had just arrived ― having 3 year-olds born in Martinique and most of them had lands valued at $3,000, well above average. Some names: ?ere, Victor, 38, Gentlemen Ernest duChamp, 34, and family, Anna 3, born on Martinique, Louisa 3 months, born NJ Reynal Beaupland age 66, born Guadaloupe. and family De Gage Martinique Massias REgna Leo Duchamp It makes Chatham seem more exotic. And as for the mysterious Charles Locander, who color pencil sketch of the Ashby house in Livingston is in my g grandmother's autograph book? 1882. What was he doing in Livingston? Wilson

Of course, the true joy of genealogy lies in the surprises. I never knew I had Dutch ancestors until about 4 years ago, and although I grew up in Morris County, my family moving there in 1962, I had no idea my ancestors had been among the earliest settlers. (If anyone else has Dutch blood, I strongly recommend "Daily Life in Rembrandt's Holland".) This is my family tree: http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=kevrik Take care, Kevin

Hello I am looking for any info on John Johnson and his wife Elizabeth nee Merrick. I am looking for Their parents and any Brothers or sisters. John and Elizabeth were both born early 1800's and on the 1880 census that I found they were living in Passaic County but states that they were born in New York. All I know is They had Four children William Johnson (B:abt. 1834 in NY D; after 1880 NJ), Rebecca Johnson ( B: abt. 1841 Died abt. 1879), John Johnson (B: abt. 1843 in NewFoundland, NJ((Listed on Vernon Death Records))D:August 0, 185 in Vernon , NJ at age 13), and David Johnson B: abt.1844. William was married twice First to a Mary Ann Decker, then to Margaret Fichter d/o Gabriel Fichter and Eliza Ware. Rebecca married Issac Babcock around 1860/1861(dates were differnt in sources) They both lived in Wawayanda of Amity NY. David married Mary babcock d/o James and Phebe BabcockDec. 18, 1870 in Warwick NY I have traced this family thru Orange County to Sussex COunty then to Morris and Passaic COunty I am now stuck . I can not find any other info on John Johnson or his wife Elizabeth Merrick. I did find a John Johnson and Elizabeth Merrick in Salem county but I have not made the connection as to if they are the Same people. The only child that matches is William and I could not understand how the move would have been made by John and Elizabeth due to all the children seem to be born up in NY or close to the border of Warwick , NY. Any help would greatly be appreciated Thank You Tracy Franz

Hello I am looking for any info on Raymond J. Johnson and his wife Bessie(Unknown). All I know is Raymond (My GGreat Uncle) waas born in August 10, 1900 in Port Oram(now Wharton) NJ. His parents were John W. Johnson and Martha Spencer. He died October 23, 1924 and is buried in Stanhope Union Cemetery. His wife Bessie remarried to a Joseph McPeek. Raymond and Bessie did have two children per Family states Dorthey Johnson and Raymond Johnson, Jr. . I am looking for any info on the children or Bessie. The only thing the family last knew was Dorthey was living in or around Pompton Plains with Husband and 2 children. They think Raymond Johnson Jr. died a few years back in Florida. Any help would be great we are really trying to find Dorthey ( her married name is unknown. Thanks, Tracy Franz

Dutch-English-French names did mix. Waldron and Livingston, for instance, appear to be families that were in both the Low Countries and England. Sneden is reputed to have been Snowden (although I cannot find any evidence of that pro or con). The meaning is Snow Mountain. In Morris County, some genealogies give the name Courter or even Courtier as being French, when the name is Dutch, coming from Koerte ("of Kurt"). Genung, suprisingly, is French, going back to a Huguenot Jean Guenon. (Jean married a Sneden.) Guenon meant in its earlier forms, "companion", but later came to mean the monkey or ape the accompanied musicians, then just "ape". Sorry Genung cousins for letting the ape out of the bag. And, speaking of the French, I noticed a whole group of families in Chatham (or Hanover, I forget now), from Martinique. What was the story there? Wilson Brown

I am looking for information on William F. Beam, b. 1814. He married Rachel Fritts, daughter of Morris Fritts & Cornelia Lunger of Lebanon Twp., Hunterdon Co. He was the father of Margaret Beam b. 12/1/1842, d. 12/20/1887, who was from Pleasant Grove, Washington Twp., Morris Co., and George Beam b. 9/16/1853. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Cherie Hoffman Howard

Hello Wilson; If these families were Protestant, they were most likely refugees from the French sugar islands. When the Edict of Nantes was revoked, a wave of immigrants washed up on US shores as you know. The isles had a reputation for leniency, but the handwriting was on the wall. I believe this happened in the 1790's; I'm doing this off the top of my head. They came into NYC and I believe a number founded New Rochelle. That would be interesting if a 'colony' was founded in Morris County. Take care, Kevin

Hi to Morris Mailing list: I would appreciate if someone would look up information for me in the Dover Directories in the Morristown library Would someone please check the Dover Directory for 1907, 1908 and 1909 and let me know the address of William Thornhill and family? I would appreciate the help. I do not live near the Library. Thank you Patricia Sexton Oberg

Could someone with local knowledge give me the location of 'The Tourne' I believe it is in the Boonton/Powerville area. Terry HJ
