Hi, Must have missed original posting. Hit that darned delete key too fast I guess. Would the person looking for Probasco please contact me off the list. I have some Probasco info but since I missed the original request don't know if I can help. Regards, Jackie

Does anyone have NJ will's on CD Thanks Jim

I'm sorry, but I lost the personal email address of the person who wanted a professional researcher. Could she please reply to me at SLH1753@aol.com ? I have someone who does excellent research, specializing in Dutch families in Somerset County. He is not fast, but he's good. If you don't find waiting 6 months for a booklet of data based on primary and secondary sources, write me for his address. He has helped me with my DITMARS & VOORHEES ancestors. Sharon Laizure Hofer

I am looking for info on this Samuel Wheaton. He married Charity Wyckoff in 1/1796 and fathered 2 sons, Jacob 12/1796 and Samuel 5/1798. Samuel (1772-1798) died in a fall from a horse two months before his son was born. He is my stumbling point. I dont have a burial place or any ancestry on this man. Can anyone help? Lori

Hi Sharon, My name is Jackie Lubinski and I have been researching my father James H. Wells's family for about 2 years. His mother was Anna Coral Durling--descended from Lambert Janse Dorlandt whose farm is on Sunset Road in Montgomery (now The Crawford House). She married Harry James Wells-originally from PA. My father was orphaned at the age of 6 and was unaware of his family's rich history in Somerset County, and I have just within the two years been able to piece together many of his ancestors with the help of many people and a historical book on the Dorlandt family. I have been to the Dorlandt House and on a hunch stopped at the Harlingen Church Cemetery to see if any of my ancestors were buried there and found many including my Great Grand Uncle and Aunt Nathanial McPherson Durling and Gertrude Ann Edwards. I am interested in the cemetery listing for any Dorland/Durlings that you have. I have taken photographs of the Durling headstones that I found, however some are not very readable. I also am researching the Ammerman and Post lines as these were spouses of Dorland males. Do you show any listings for any of these last names? I do not know if I missed anyone in my search there and would like to verify my files to see who I am missing and if what I have is correct. I am also interested in the Belle Mead/Montgomery area in general. This is where most of my ancestors lived until my grandfather William H. Durling and his wife Phebe Ann Cray (from Skillman) relocated to South Bound Brook, NJ, about 1885 were they lived and died. They and William's brother Abraham and my father and mother are buried in the Bound Brook Cemetery. I don't know if there are any more Durling descendants living in the Belle Mead area anymore. I have also been trying to trace the Duffield family who lived in the Montgomery/Belle Mead area. William's sister Catharine Durling married a William P. Duffield (both buried in the Blawenburg Cemetery as well as a few other Durlings) and there are a few Duffields in the Harlingen Cemetery that I am not sure of the connection with William Duffield. Any information that you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jackie Wells Lubinski jwl@hunterdon.csnet.net

Thank you to Sharon for Somerset County lookups, to Pat Ewers for Rapalje article, and to Dorothy Koenig for clearing up discrepancies for me. Somerset County New Jersey Historical Quarterly , Volume 7, has "jottings from an old journal kept by Aunt Betsey Van Liew". Aunt Betsey recorded the following deaths: September 27, 1828, wife of George Rapplyear, of the Landing, died March 29, 1829, Richard Rappleyea, of the Landing, died July 29, 1829, Major Jerome Rappleyea died at Ithaca, age 39 years December 9, 1831, Col. Jerome Rapplyea of Middlebush died (Friday) Thanks, Aunt Betsey! I think Richard was my ggggrandfather. If anyone has further info on him, I would love to know. He appears on the 1825 tax lists for Franklin Twp.
