    1. [NJMORRIS] Richard Runyon of Morris Co, NY family
    2. Dear Folks, Am trying to locate information on Richard Runyon's daughter, Elizabeth who married Moses Carpenter. Their daughter Elizabeth Runyon Carpenter was baptized in the Goshen, Orange Co. NY Pres. church in 1775. RICHARD RUNYON was a son of PETER RUNYON and JANE VAN COURT of the Piscataway Runyons (I have his ancestors - have subscribed to the Runyon rootsweb list). I believe Richard was the only one who moved to Morris Co. Sadly, ELIZABETH RUNYON is listed as ELIZABETH BUNYON by the DAR and that error cost me 10 years research. (I actually lived in Edison, NJ for a year and was unable to correct the error while there.) I have a photocopy of RICHARD RUNYON's will which I received a couple years ago. My photocopy does not even refer to his dau, Elizabeth, but, fortunately the NJ abstracts does. (She is also listed in the Littel Passaic Valley book.) RICHARD RUNYON's will specifically states that his deceased daughter's child - that would be ELIZABETH RUNYON CARPENTER - would recieve money at age 18.) I wonder if there would be any type of court record that would show the later distribution of assets? She married, at age 14, JAMES WISNER, of Orange Co. NY and moved to Onondaga Co. about 1800. I cannot find her death, but, my family records indicate that she died at about age 36 and her husband remarried. Her children are listed in her father's will. Note: There were two RICHARD RUNYONS, uncle (mine) and nephew. Thank you, Phoebe in CA Searching: ORANGE CO, NY: Moses Carpenter, b.1751, son of John and Ruth (Coe) CARPENTER m. 1st.
