For obsessive reasons of my own, I have alphabetized the militia list for Wantage Township, Sussex County (1793). Is this something anyone thinks I should share with the list? Or is it of interest only to me? Georgia Whitson

Hunterdon and Sussex, AKA Warren Counties have the highest historic population of LANCE people. I have LANCE people from 1820 to the late 1800 and a blank spot from about 1820 back and from 1890 forward. Is anyone on these lists researching this line? Laurence Lance Seattle

Gerogia I would be interested and probably others on the list would be interested as well. Robert G Yingling Jr Gresham, Oregon

Howdy Folks, Here's some tidbits I found in the NJ Herald Weds. 21 June 1899 Eliza SMITH died on the 15th inst., aged 75 years, at her home near Centreville.

The funeral was held at the Reformed church at Peters Valley on 17th inst. Interment in Peters Valley Cemetery. Dr. John KELLEY, who was proprietor of the Brick House, has a well-appointed hotel and resturant in Milford near the Court House. Everything is first class and perfect accomodations for all. He has a large trade from Sussex and is glad to meet his Jersey friends. Urban ABER, of Hainesville, had the misfortune to loose eight of his sheep by lightening during the shower last Thursday. They were under a tree when it was struck. Several cases of measles are reported in the vicinity of Hainesville. Some of the afflicted children took part in the Children's day exercises on the 11th at Hainesville. Miss Bertha STOLL, one of our Sandyston teachers, will on the 19th inst. leave for an extended visit to her sister, Mrs. Collins BROWN, of Massachusetts. Joseph HORNBECK has an old fashioned "raising" last Saturday to get the frame for his new barn on his Sandyston farm in position. Floyd E. WILLIAMS, of West Pittston, Pa., was a visitor to Sandyston on business last week. Mrs. Ella STEIBIG will return home this week from the city to spend the summer. Ex-freeholder Joseph C. WARNER has the finest crop of onions in the valley. Hay will not be more that half a crop this year in the valley. John SIGLER, Sr. visited New York last week on business.

Hi, folks... I've added Greenwich Presbyterian Cemetery to my web site. You can find it starting at http://raub-and-more.com/greenwich/greenwichcem1.html. Jan Reuther

From: "1872 Historical Directory of Sussex Co., NJ" Page 25: "THOMAS P. GUSTIN, son of Colonel GUSTIN, becoming financially embarrassed while in business with his brother in New York, returned to Augusta. He was followed by his dreditors who requested Coroner EPHRIAM GREEN to apprehend him. GUSTIN, who was seated in the store, knowing the object of GREEN, sprang over the counter and seizing a pistol, fired at him, the ball entering his leg near the knee. For sometime his life was dispaired of, but after painful illness he recovered. GUSTIN immediately escaped to the West." Can anyone expand on this? Thank you, Sheryl Gunderman Robinson

I would assume it is refering to Thomas Price Gustin son of John Gustin and Esther Price. He evidently was in business with one of his brothers Francis or John.

I descend from the GUSTIN family of Sussex Co., NJ. I am wondering how Col. JOHN GUSTIN who was the founder of AUGUSTA and had a store in Branchville, fit into the line. I believe I descend from a JOHN GUSTIN who was born 1691 in Lynn, Essex Co., MA. and died 1777 in Sussex Co., NJ. He is buried in Branchville on the "Duffy McDannold Farm ( as of the early '50's) This JOHN had a son THOMAS who married RUTH OWEN. His son, THOMAS, married JANE HILL or HUI. They had a daughter MARGARET GUSTIN who married WILLIAM STULL. Their daughter, CHARLOTTE A. STULL is my 2nd great grandmother. Much of this information is not properly documented. Could someone help me who has researched this line? Thanks, Sheryl Gunderman Robinson

Hi, This is a broad questions for a local historian. Does anyone know what Protestant denominations were common in Sussex in the mid 19th century? The family thinks that one of the people we are researching was a minister. Since he is listed in the census as a farmer, this was probably a part time job. Thanks. (Mr.) Terry Hann

Hi, folks..... I've added Ramseyburg Cemetery to my web site. You can find it at http://raub-and-more.com/ramseyburgcem.html. Jan Reuther

Mr Hann asked about a cemetery in Williamsville. Sorry I don't know about it, but do have a question. I have a ggg grandfather who was wounded in the War of 1812 and died in a hospital in Williamsville. The problem is, I don't know what state. Was there a battle near there? His widow's pension papers don't tell the state. Would appreciate any help. If there is a cemetery there, he could be buried in it. Thanks Phyllis Whelan
