There is no evidence of Lenape heritage, which doesn't mean it wasn't there. At that time, it was not 'politically correct' to admit to Native American heritage. -----Original Message----- From: Theodore R. VonBartheld [mailto:tedrvb@bellsouth.net] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 5:37 PM To: NJSALEM@rootsweb.com Subject: [NJSALEM] Peter RIDGWAY, Monmouth Co & Burlington Co,New Jersey 1833-1910 I am Theodore R. VonBartheld (aka) RedThunder, I live in Alabama and I am trying to get a fix on my family ancestry. I do know that: Timothy RIDGWAY and Martha Fisher were the Father & Mother of: Peter RIDGWAY, Born: Oct. 1833 In Barnegat, Monmouth County, New Jersey. I have word that he died before 1910 in Medford, Burlington County, New Jersey. At one point He married one: Caroline Carmelia, Born: Oct 1869 some paperwork shows in 1899 he married her, her last Name at that time was SLOAN. She had a son George SLOAN that came with her into the RIDGWAY family. This would I believe be from her last marriage? I am trying to put it all together but I do not want to do this on just word alone. I am looking for the paper trail: Birth, Marriage, Divorce, Death, Ect. They had a son named: Charles RIDGEWAY/RIDGWAY, Born: 24 Feb. 1902 in Cape May, NJ. He was Born: Charles RIDGWAY but not sure, I see paperwork both ways. I believe that his name changed when he married Anna Mae WILSON, Born: 01 Jan. 1908 in Bridgeton, NJ that's what it says on her Social Security Application when she remarried in 1943 to a CARTY. According to Charles RIDGEWAY's Social Security Application, his father was: Peter RIDGEWAY & his mother was: Caroline SLOAN Charles RIDGEWAY/RIDGWAY & Anna Mae WILSON had a Daughter: Elizabeth Anna RIDGEWAY who was my mother. It is my understanding in the family background there is: Lenape, I would like to prove that and my linage back to that line if my linage be true to the Lenape American Indian. I am proud of my heritage no matter what it is, but if it dose prove out, I would like to join the Tribe. Just trying to find some help on this, I do not know where you live but for me, it is a little hard to walk there and do the footwork from Alabama. Thank you until we talk again, peace be with you and yours Theodore R. VonBartheld -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
