Hello List, I'm new to this list and wonder if someone could help. i have an ancester that in the 1930 census is listed as an inmate at this hospital. I'm trying to find out when she died. According to her son's birth cert. she was 35 in 1913 and born in Jersey City so I'm assuming she would be about 52 at this time. I'm not sure when she entered the hospital but she was at home with husband and sons in the 1920 census. If anyone can give me any advice please contact me. Also does anyone know of a researcher in NJ? Thanks, Gretchen __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo http://search.yahoo.com

*Thanks,* Judy. I have always wondered about this -- to me-- rather insulting reference in this will (a daughter receiving simply "a pot.") Kathleen LPurch6636@aol.com >>Dear Kathleen, I don't think the small inheritance mentioned was meant to be an insult. I have read many old wills and found that married daughters didn't inherit much through the wills of their fathers. It was expected that their husbands would take care of them in a proper manner and often times a settlement or dowery was arranged at the time of the daughters' marriages. Then, too, most houses weren't filled with possessions as they are today. I am floored when I look around today and see just how much "stuff" I have - reminds me of that old George Carlin routine. Finally, there were just plain poor folks who didn't have anything of value to leave to anyone, but they probably didn't have a will, either.<< Judy Martin

I was able to purchase a copy of the book for about $35.00 several years ago from a store called The Book Shop, but I no longer have that address or phone number. Your message further interested me because several ancestors of mine from Morris County also went to Morrow County in Ohio. My ancestors settled in the town of Mt. Gilead. Do you know why these New Jersey folks decided on Morrow County in Ohio? Judy Martin <commjet@aol.com> P.S. My absolutely wonderful daughter-in-law's name is Adelver - if we changed one "e" to an "a" she would have an anagram of your name. Both names are so unusual.
Anyone know anything about this author: Title : Didja know ? ? ? Cornelius A Hubner. Author : Hubner, Cornelius A Description : 63 p. , 1 l. Notes : The "Didja Know" column first appeared in the June 15, 1985 issue of the "Smoke Rise Club News" Is he alive? If so, does he live in the area? I would like to talk with him. The booklet lists some local history of Kinnelon, Butler, Bloomingdale and West Milford. Thanks! Dave Wisneski Pequannock, NJ
I have noticed that in the mid-late 1700's there are quite a few wills that have been signed by a Samuel Wills in Morris Co. And I found in a book of wills on Morris County that when Samuel Wills died, his will made mention of a John Hamler, his "late daughter's husband." (He didn't make any provision for him however.) This John Hamler lived in Roxbury twp, as did another John "Hambler" (a frequent mispelling of my maiden name)- an older man whose will was signed by Samuel Wills. John Hambler's wife was "Catharean" and he left a pot to one daughter (I don't know if this is an insult or not!) and some other minor thing to another daughter. Then the rest to quite a few sons. I am interested in Samuel Wills as well as anything more about his relationship with the Hamler family. Kathleen LPurch6636@aol.com

Dear NJMORRIS list - I have a special interest in Colonel Peter Schuyler (son of Arent, Belleville) and quite a lot of information about him and his family. If any of you have any interest in this notable Jerseyman, I would be delighted to hear from you. Best regards, Tim Cutler Morristown, NJ
The Reverend Peter SCHUYLER, born 1-30-1802, New Jersey, died 8-23-1875, Madison County, In. Married Catherine "Treenie" PHILHOWER, Apr 1819, at Hamilton Co., Oh. Later Migrated to Madison County, In. Can anyone give me his church affiliation, or faith ? And if so, is the church still in existence? The SCHUYLER family in Hunterdon Co., NJ, were Presbyterian, I believe. Thanks, Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net
