Several people have emailed me privately to ask me to help them subscribe to the new Ten Eyck rootsweb list. I don't know why me, except I expressed excitement about it too, and perhaps they thought I might have been successful and some had some problems. If anyone wants information about how to subscribe to the Ten Eyck list I have a little synopsis of dirctions of how to do it or any other rootsweb administrative adventure already put together in an email and I can let you know hhow if you email me privately.

Would like to hear from any of those Listers who are related to Benjamin Moore Sr. b: 1754 who married Keziah Frazee. Also looking for descendants of a Michael Lawler b: 10 Dec 1761 Kings County, IRE, Rev Soldier, d: Dec 1829. He married a Mary Mathney (according to DAR records) and possibly a Jane Stanbury and 3rd, Remember (?). Lee Anne

Anyone out there researching theses names? I am related to a B.K. (Benj.) Hoppock. Born in Warren Co. in late 1849/early 1850. Father was Thomas Hoppock, born abt. 1822, married Catherine ? On the 1850 Census, they are living in Greenwich Twp., Warren Co. I believe Thomas then moves to Raritan Twp., Hunterdon Co. Benj. K had quite a few siblings: William (b. abt. 1845) Peter (b.abt. 1848) Joseph (b. abt. 1852). In 1880, he is living in Raritan, Som. Co. NJ. Anyone here sound familiar? Paul

Hello Listers, Maybe I can add some clarification and/or help here. (I am leaving the whole original post attached in tact as it has bearing to my comments). Villages at the Crossroads, A History of Warren Township 1806-1976, by Barbara Tomblin, indeed provides some wonderful flavor of the early settlers. It is "organized" by the several small villages that made up the township. A Ben Moore was enumerated in the 1840 census as living in that section known as Union Village, but the information contained on pg. 5 regarding the 24 acre lot was found to be different as determined through my own deed researchings. The house of the Flinns of today was occupied by my own Stevens'family ancestors in the early 1800s. For anyone interested and inclined to learn more about, I would like to direct you to the following site link which is of the Warren Township Historical Society, and features an article I wrote pertinent to that early Union Village family. http://www.warrennj.org/wths/stevens.htm As to the Moores, I would like to cautiously point up that it was a large and well known old family in early Warren having various branches, and there is some frequency to see the same or similar given names, 'tho different generations. I hope this may somehow be useful.

Dan, There is a mountain in HIllsborough Township. If you go to: www.terraserver.com you will find a topographical map of Hillsborough. Look to the west of 206 in Hillsborough in the southernmost section of the township. Perpendicular to 206 is Mountainview Road, which leads to East Mountain Road. There is a large park on E. Mountain which includes the Sourland Mountain Trail. Hope you find what you're looking for!

Hi--I have the booklet Villages at the Crossroads; A history of Warren Twp. 1806-1976. In it, it has a lot of information about the families in this area. It is not a very organized booklet, and I do not know if it is still available, so here is what I located on your Benjamin Moore and family. pg 5 Isaac and Phebe Ruckman Coddington's daughter Hetty Jane, who died at 6 months in 1831 is buried in Tucker cemetery. Her parents moved shortly after her death to Terre Haute, IN and the home was later owned by Benjamin Moore (son of Isaac B.) and his wife Susan Tucker. The house with many additions, is now owned by the Flinns and from the stone foundation, rough timbers in the cellar, and narrow stairway appears to be at least 150 years old. In 1855 Ben Moore sold his lot for $1475 to John R. Burnett who had acquired much of the original 24 acre lot from his mother Elizabeth Perrine Torboss (formerly Mrs. John S. Burnett). pg 41 Benjamin Moore: Private in militia, Married Keziah Frazee, Mary Smalley, and Eunice Tingley. Pg 29 Many of the houses in Dead River are still standing. One at 5 Mountainview Lane, now owned by G. F. Kennedy, was owned in 1850 by John Moore who bought his 56 acres freom the estate of Ben Moore in 1843. Jacob Giddes bought the farm in 1875 and more recently John Betzold owned it. East of them was John B. Moore wo bought his 59 acres from Isaac B. Moore in 1847. Isaac was a son of Benjamin Moore, Sr. and he died in 1854 age 68. Ben Moore was an early settler of the township and member of the Baptist church. His 131 acre farm was sold in 1839 to William A. Coddington for $2,484, a handsome sum in those days. To his wife he willed, "two cows of her choice, all the furniture she brought to me when we married and the use of two east rooms of the house." the house quite possibly the same one today owned by the Langmacks. His farm was bouthg from Archibald Coddington 1862 by John Zeglio, later by Zergabiels, and is today known as HIllcrest Horse Farm. (Note--today in this reference means 1976 when the booklet was written.) It would seem that your Ben may be the son of Ben Sr. and his wife Susan Tucker. Debbie in CA

Hello, Following this there is an outline of a family tree. I've had some research done on the ancestry of Aeltje Suydam (ca 1716- 177?) who was the wife of Douwe Ditmars ( ca 1712-1775). They were in Somerset County during their marriage, but these earlier records go back to Flatbush, NY. Families named are RYCKE, HENDRICKSZEN, SUYDAM, DITMARS, WILTSIE, VANDERVEER, VANDEVENTER, VAN DUYN AND RYDER. NOTE WELL: I had the research done for me, so I'm not an expert on these families. My line is only the one that extands from Aeltje and Douwe Ditmars. Also, from Belitje Suydam and Michael Vandeveer. Their dau. Seyje is an ancestress of mine.

Hi All I have a document for "Return of Births in the Township of Hillsborough County of Somerset . . ." from May 1877 to (unreadable). In this document I have a ancestor, Jane D (Jenny) Conner whose "Place of Birth" is listed as "Mountain". Her parents, James Conner and Elizabeth Totton? were farmers and their "Place of Residence" is "Mountain". My question is: What is this "Mountain"? Any information would be welcome :) Dan in Nebraska

Pam, I am a descendant of John Bush through his dau Mary who married John Coon. My records show that John died in 1786 and Mary in 1779. They had two children Alpheus and Hannah (my ancestor - who married William Worth). I have always been curious who raised these two kids after their parents were dead. I never heard anything about a remarriage for John. Do you have any information about these folks? I would like to learn more about Alpheus. He had a son Alpheus who came to Michigan with William Worth and wife Hannah Coon. I have a little on him. I also wonder if you have more information about parents of John Bush and Hannah Pain? Are you trying to track the early descendants of John Bush? Glo Wellman Santa Rosa, CA

I am new to the list but would like to hear from anyone who has any information whatever on any mention of the Bush family in Somerset County, especially any descendants of John Bush (ca. 1718-1811) and Hannah (Pain) Bush of Martinsville, Bridgewater Twp. including their daughters, Mary Coon, Hannah Urmiston and Elizabeth Bilyeu, and sons Peter, Daniel, Alpheus, Cornelius, Isaac, Ephraim, and Abraham Bush. May Coon, Hannah Urmiston, Elizabeth Bilyeu, Abraham, Daniel and his son, David Bush, were members of the Bound Brook Pres. Church. Ephraim Bush was prominent in the Lamington Pres. Church. I have extracted all Bush references from the Somerset Co. Historical Quarterly (1912-1919) and all tombstone inscriptions in the card file at Alexander Library Special Collections. Pam Bush

Searching for information on ELIZABETH HALL (b.ca. 1749, Somerset County, New Jersey); her family lived in Bridgeport; she married DANIEL PERRINE (b. 15 Sep 1745 in Staten Island, Richmond County, New York); they were married in 1769 at Bridgewater, Somerset County, New Jersey. They had six children: Richard, Daniel, Elizabeth, James, Tobias, Rebecca. I'm hoping there was one or possibly more HALL FAMILIES in Somerset County and particularlyl in Bridgewater in the mid-1700s. I'd appreciate any suggestions or information anyone can provide. Sincerely, Dena Rae Sabin Maryborough, Queensland Australia

Hi. I am interested in learning about the Somerset County Library. I was wondering if anyone has been there and do they have a good genealogy room. I live about 25 minutes away and would like to go if you think it has a lot of information. Thanks for any thoughts... Heidi

Does anyone know where Kingwood, NJ is? I'm especially interested as to what county it is in. Thank you. :) Daniel-san@dellnet.com
