Thanks to Bev for starting the Schooley Mountain(s) threaded! Kathleen Also from Sunny Arizona (but don't everybody move here; it's sweltering in the summer.And since the advent of swimming pools it's NOT such a "dry heat" anymore.)

Thank you to everyone who responded to my query about the source of the name, Schooley's Mountain. I stand corrected - it is Schooley Mountains. A very special thanks goes to Brianne Kelly-Bly, Webmaster-NJGenWeb - Morris County. Bev in sunny and warm AZ

Hi, going to weight in here and ask if there is anything on a Perry family living in that area. I have some deeds that make a reference to this mountain and can't find anything out about him. Maybe this reference can provide some clues???? Christie Trapp

I have appreciated the discussion on Schooley Mountain! My "mystery" G-Aunt lived on Schooley Mountain and if there is a possible way to find out her last name when she lived there, I would be eternally grateful! Her maiden name was Sarah R. Hamler, and she was born in 1838 in Sussex Co., NJ. (Her parents were William H. & Noyetta (Kindred) Hamler.) Her younger brother, Andrew H. Hamler, was married in Sarah's home on Schooley Mountain in 1864 (from Andrew's Pension Record). But I don't know Sarah's married name. If there is anyway to find out her married name from this little bit that I have told, I would appreciate knowing it! Thanks a lot. Kathleen LPurch6636@aol.com

According to the book "A Pioneer Schooley Family" by May Schooley Ivey, published 1941, pg 14, 15. In his will Thomas Scholey refers to "that 350 acres of land which I purchased of Thomas Stevenson." "This purchase was made in the year 1714, two and a half years after Thomas Stevenson and others had bought several thousand acres in the Upper Purchase. This last Indian Purchase covered all the lands lying above the Falls of the Delaware. It included all of what became Sussex and Warren counties and the west end of Morris county. This purchase made by Thomas Scholey, of 350 acres from Thomas Stevenson was the circumstance which gave his name to the mountains in Northern Jersey, which soon after were known as SCHOOLEY MOUNTAINS. These lands were disposed of as directed in the will of Thomas, but two years later, the same lands were owned by Samuel Schooley, his son. It appears by the records hereinafter quoted, that this Thomas Stevenson was recognized as a mentor in public affairs of the Colonies. During the same years that he was a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly, he was also owner of a Proprietary in the Western Division of New Jersey. "This Indenture made in the 15th. of September 1714, Thomas Stevenson of Bucks county, Penn. Yeoman, of one part, and Thomas Schooley of Chesterfield, Burlington Co., N. J. yeoman, of the other part." The said Stevenson for the said sum of Fifty pounds paid him by the said Scholey, grants a tract of land surveyed forth of Thomas Stevenson, lying in the last Purchase above the Falls." Isaac DeCow had previously owned lands adjoining this tract as stated in this Indenture. This tract of land "Containing 350 acres, besides seventeen acres for allowances for roads." Signed Thos. Stevenson.) Witnesses: Joseph Kirkbride, John Borradail, Isaac DeCow." Proved by Isaac DeCow on the 25th. of 12th. mo. 1723-4, before Jacob Doughty, Esq. one of the Judges of Burlington county. (Vol. D. of Deeds, p. 11. Dept. of State of N. J.) In 1712 Thomas Stevenson and Joseph Kirkbride had bought one half of a Proprietary of all that tract of land in the Western Division of New Jersey, in the Upper Purchase above the branch of the Raritan river between the Delaware and Raritan rivers."

Can someone please aim me at a source for who Schooley's Mountain was named after? Thanks. Bev in sunny and warm AZ

Joseph DeCamp, age 40, born NJ, is recorded in Rockaway Twp., Morris Co., in the 1850 census (pg. 323A, line 38, to pg. 323B, line 4). Other family members are listed as Sophicip (age 30, born NJ; spelling?), Catherine (12), Francis (8), Gustavus (4), Josephine (3), Encelin (1; spelling?), and Catherine (67). I have been unable to identify Joseph's father (presumably Catherine is his mother), or to locate this family in any subsequent census. Does anyone have additional information on this family?

Decker is a very old name in northern NJ. There was even a Deckertown. And a Deckertown Stage. Check with Passaic Cty Genealogical and Historical Society - they probably have the complete Decker genealogy. Not sure where you live but it would be worth going to see. ANd be very careful with Munsell's - there is a lot of wrong and omitted information in it. Munsell's information was provided to them and they published without verifying facts ANd then they made typing/printing goofs.

F.Y.I. Taken from the American-Revolution RootsWeb list. Happy Thanksgiving to All. Marybeth C. ==================== << Subject: [A-REV] Exhibit Opens at Monmouth Battlefield IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 21, 2003 HISTORICAL TRAVELING EXHIBIT OPENS AT MONMOUTH BATTLEFIELD STATE PARK (03/171) MANALAPAN - The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will unveil Caught in the Crossfire: Churches, Taverns and the Revolution in New Jersey, at the Monmouth Battlefield State Park Visitor's Center, on Sunday, November 23, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. "New Jersey has an incredible inventory of American Revolutionary War sites and a fascinating history that accompanies them," said DEP Commissioner Bradley M. Campbell. "As we continue to commemorate the 225th anniversary of the American Revolution, this exhibit presents an ideal opportunity to highlight the state's heritage and its contributions to the cause of American liberty." "The New Jersey State Museum is honored and proud to join with Commissioner Campbell and the Monmouth Battlefield State Park to share this traveling exhibition with the residents of Monmouth County and the citizens of the State," said Secretary of State Regena Thomas. "New Jersey is the Crossroads of the Revolution. Through exhibitions such as Caught in the Crossfire, we can share with new generations the story of our great State and its people." Caught in the Crossfire: Churches, Taverns and Revolution in New Jersey explores the role of churches and taverns during the American Revolution with insights into the sacred and secular spirit of the time when the nation was founded. The traveling exhibit features a selection of images, documents and reproduction arti of this exhibit also includes an illustrated lecture on the 1778 geography of the battlefield presented by Garry Stone, State Park Historian, a discussion by author David Martin and a guided hike to the hedgerow and parsonage sites. The historic Craig House, located within Monmouth Battlefield also will be open to visitors until 4:00 p.m. From late 1776 through 1781, New Jersey was a war zone. With official public buildings few and far between, New Jerseyans sought out other places to debate and discuss America's future. Churches and taverns located throughout the colony became venues for expression and reflected the diversity of opinion that characterized New Jersey on the eve of Revolution. Tavern keepers and patrons, clergymen and congregants often found themselves caught in the crossfire as war raged around and about them. Organized by the New Jersey State Museum, the traveling exhibit is an adaptation of a larger exhibition of the same title at the Museum's Auditorium Galleries in Trenton. This project is supported by a grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission in the New Jersey Department of State. Additional support is provided by the Friends of the New Jersey State Museum. >>

Looking for anything on our family who had came to the U.S. from Ireland about 1855. They were JAMES QUINN, his wife Ann, 2 sons JAMES, JOHN, 4 daughters JULIA, CATHERINE, ELLEN, ANN. The last 2 daughters were born in Morris Co. in 1856 and 1858. Had found the family in the 1860 Federal Census the 2 JAMES were working as miners , don't know what mine they were at. If anyone knows where I would be able to find something on them, would you let me know. JULIA QUINN is our g-grandmother and this the only one we know VERY little on. Thanks for any help Betty
