Hello, Hoping for help in unravelling a family mystery. Bet. 1745-1747 our ancestor, William Current, landed in NJ, an orphan, (maybe 5-7 years old?)the rest of his family having died of ship's fever. An Elisha Barton took him in, (possibly as an indentured servant?) The next record we have of William is in Oxford, Sussex Co., as an adult. When he lived with the Bartons he was probably in another part of New Jersey. I really need to identify who this Elisha Barton was, in order to piece together the real facts about William's early years. The problem is, there were many Elisha Bartons in NJ, NY, and PA in this time period. I need HELP in figuring out which is the correct one. One of William Current's eldest children, Charity Current, married Thomas Campbell Sexton from Hunterdon Co., NJ on May 10, 1787, in Sussex Co. Recently I located Sexton family records which give Charity's birth as February 18, 1769, Hopewell, Hunterdon (now Mercer) Co. So maybe William lived in Hunterdon Co. before moving to Sussex Co? Giving further support to this, I have located an Elisha Barton who lived in Hunterdon Co. in the same time period: Capt. Elisha Barton was b. 5 Oct 1729 in Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ, d. 31 Mar 1823 same place, m.abt 1755 to Jemima van Kirk b. 20 Feb 1735/1736 in Hopewell Twp., Hunterdon Co.. But, I'm afraid this Elisha would have been slightly too young to have taken in an indentured servant in 1747, and definitely too young in 1745. There is conflicting information about who this Capt. Elisha Barton's parents were. The only source I have seen who has attempted to assign a father to Elisha, gives him as Noah Barton, (citing no real evidence), b. 1668 in CT, d. aft. 1737, Cranberry, Middlesex Co., NJ, m. bef. 1710 NY to Mary unknown. Even descendants of Capt. Elisha have had reason to doubt this connection, partially based on the age difference. I just came across some more information which I believe sounds more plausible. But, without proof, it is nothing but theory. This new information appears to place 2 consecutive Elisha Bartons immediately prior to Capt. Elisha Barton, making him Elisha Barton, III. Elisha Barton, II, would be the correct age to be the benefactor of William Current. What do you think of this? Anything anyone can add, or detract, from this?: from Lorne Shunk's Family Tree: (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~shunkfamilytree/FamilyTree/fam0766 6.htm) Elisha BARTON, (SR.) (s/o Roger Barton & Mary Lounsberry) b. bet.1662-1668, d. bef. 1717 at Burlington Co., NJ, m.1 to _?_ Contine, (d/o Isaac Contine), at New Rochelle, Westchester Co., NY; m2 to Mary Griffin. CHILDREN by 1st marriage: 1) Thomas BARTON, b. at Westchester Co., NY, d. Hunterdon Co., NJ, m. Hannah Clark; and2) _?_ Barton, (whom I believe was Elisha Barton, Jr.), d. NJ Put this together with a bit of information picked up from Michael S. Disbrow's Family Tree (http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/5853/hendis/hendis.html): BENJAMIN DISBROW (son of Henry I), b. abt. 1672, poss. on Long Island, NY, d. 10 Dec. 1733 Matawan, Monmouth Co., NJ, m. MARY GRIFFIN, Children: 1)John Disbrow, b. 1702; 2)Benjamin Disbrow, Jr., b. abt. 1707; d. 17 Mar. 1735 Matawan, Monmouth Co., NJ; m. Margaret _; no children, 3)Anne Disbrow, b. 1710; d. 1733, 4) Griffin Disbrow, b. 1712, 5) Mary Disbrow, m. Elisha Barton (This would be Elisha Barton, Jr., Mary Disbrow's step-brother, son of her mother, Mary Griffin's second spouse, Elisha Barton,Sr.) This Elisha Barton, Jr., and wife Mary Disbrow, then, are probably the parents of Capt. Elisha Barton (III) of Hunterdon Co., NJ, as well as being the Elisha Barton who took William Current into their home when he landed, orphaned, on NJ soil. So, tell me, am I crazy?!!! Is there anything anyone can add, to support this, or to point me in another direction for the real Elisha Barton who took in William Current? thanks so much for any and all help, yea or nay.

Thanks Cathy for your in-put regarding my Dandy query. Here is a little background information. My ancestor came to be known as James Dawdy in Sussex co., N.J. although there were several sound-a-like and look-a-like variations in the spelling before his death in 1824. Doddy, Dowdy, Dody, Daudy were a few. In 1819 James registered his will as James Dandy; James Dandy of the U.K. was convicted of stealing a gold ring and sentenced to transportation to America in 1759. In 1771 or 72, Howell Dowdy was listed as an endentured run-a-way, Salem co., N.J. James Dawdy had a brother Howell who shows up in the American south right after the advertised reward for return of Howell Dowdy. It's my opinion both James and Howell were educated - James is named as a tax collector for Knowlton in the 1700s and Howell was a surveyor who helped lay out the town plan for Shelbyville, TN. At other times he was a sherriff and member of town commission and a veteran of the Rev. War. Most of Jame's family came to Ontario, Canada between years 1780 to1802 or 03; he and wife are buried in Swayze cemetery, Hope, N.J. Dawdy researchers have never been able to get past James and Howell or discover when and where they came from originally. The Dandy lead is the first new evidence anyone has found and perhaps we're grasping at straws but any and all suggestions as to where we may find documention on endentured servants and transported convicts in America gratefully received.

Greetings, When you say transported, are you referring to the olde English pastime of unloading unwanted prisoners on their new colonies? While I've not heard of transporting directly to NJ, the Carolinas were populated that way. Early ships have been known to triangle trade up from the southern colonies into New England before traveling back across the ocean. Also, a number of transportees to Barbadoes found a similar route from there to New Amsterdam and then the Raritan Valley as the Dutch were driven from newly-named NY. Perhaps transported may also mean he arrived as an indentured servant? His surname may give further clues. Cathy DiPietro List Admin --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Joan, It would help to know where your ancestor was transported *from.* And did he/she go of his own will, or by the temporary will of another person (i.e. a slaveowner or was it an indentured servant type of situation, etc.)? Or did he/she come from another country? Prior to 1800 I have found that certain *books* and *CD's* have this kind of old information. A good source is www.heritagebooks.com You can go to their web page and have them send you a free catalogue of genealogy books. Until you are sure that you relative's name is in the book, use Inter-Library loan to see if a promising book might have your ancestor's name. If you haven't used Inter-Library Loan before, they just requires a regular library card and the name and author of the book, and date of publication which the catalogue will provide. In my situation, the early ancestors that I have who came to Sussex County were German so I knew to look at the *German* genealogy books. (If this is your ancestor's heritage, Hank Z. Jones is a great writer and researcher for German names and where they settled. The first time I ever saw my surname in a book was the two pages that Hank Z. Jones wrote about in his very detailed and scholarly work.) Heritage Books has technical genealogy books and CD's separated out by nationality, topics, lists, etc. Under the topic of "New Jersey" there are some books and minutes that are by county. Also doing a google search on the Internet will help-- either by surname, "Knowlton" or nationality, "Knowlton tax collectors," "early ________," etc. (www.google.com) Kathleen Hamler Purchase [email protected] >>Where would one look for information in New Jersey regarding an ancestor who was probably transported to the American colonies c 1756? I am saying New Jersey because this is where we first found him as a householder and tax collector for Knowlton; the transportation possibility has recently been discovered. Any suggestions?

I am new to this list and have an inquiry regarding Philip Kichline/Kickline. Much research has been done on the family after their arrival in New Brunswick the summer of 1783. The problem is, we have had a very difficult time locating any information about the man prior to September, 1778 when he is listed, among others, having an inquisition found against him. (New Jersey in the Revolution - Newspaper Extracts 1778, page 435). Another mention is made regarding claims against his estate, December 1779 (New Jersey in the Revolution - Newspaper Extracts 1779, page 46). A judgement against him is recorded in 1778. (The Loyalists of New Jersey in the Revolution, page 287). The family has spent many hours searching hands on prior to all this great Internet access, and many more using the Internet but to no avail... :> { Information that was, as I have been given to understand, held in the Sussex Archives seems to have been lost.

The articles in “From the Archives” are reprinted from previous editions of The New Jersey Herald, which began publication in 1829; the Sussex Register, which began in 1814; and the Sussex Independent, which began in 1871. The stories appear in their original form, although some have been edited for length. 100 YEARS AGO May 12, 1904 Swartswood John LAYTON lost from his dairy last week a valuable cow from pneumonia. The "Lake House" is receiving a new coat of paint. Samuel MILLER, of Newton, is wielding the brush. Ralph DECKER, County School Superintendent of Sussex, was a guest at the Lake House Wednesday night of last week. Mr. Norman KAYS, who has had charge of our school since Jan. last, has accepted the school at Statesville the coming school year. Miss Frances CRISPIN has been reengaged at Mount Benevolence. Swartswood has many attractions for the city people, who , tiring of the city with its unceasing turmoil and bustle, can get near to nature's heart in the hills and vales of the foot hills of the Blue Mountains. Walter REYNOLDS, of Newark, is another who has come in our midst to enjoy a summer, with only the music of the buzzing bees and the silver throated songsters to jar its quietness, with the expectation, if everything proves favorable, of buying the place which he now occupies some two miles back of our village, belonging to Andrew HAMMOND. Branchville and Vicinity Frank LYONS is again in charge of the boat house. He has purchased a new gasoline steam launch, twenty-three feet long, for the accommodations of the summer people. The launch will hold fifteen people. Theodore H. ROE, the veterinary surgeon residing a couple of miles out of town, met with an accident on Thursday night which will confine him to the house for some time. He was in the barn attending to a sick horse, when he stepped on a bottle, which threw him, spraining his ankle severely. The Board of Education met on Friday evening last and re-engaged Prof. H.D.
