Does anyone know where I can locate Rev. War era maps of Sussex County/Warren County? Thank you, Sheryl Gunderman Robinson

Does anyone have information on Matthias Goble who resided in Siussex (Deckertown) about 1800. I am interested in his children since I just found out that my ancestor Kelley Westbrook of Johnsonsburg and Yellow Frame was his grandson and I have not been able to get Kelley's parents names.

Looking for SCOTT brothers: James and Benjamin. James' son, Stephen moved to Michigan. I don't have any dates but James and Benjamin were probably born in the 1750s. -Michelle

Hi, folks... I've added another page to my web site. In 1804, under pressure mostly from Quakers, New Jersey began to gradually abolish slavery. Any child born to a slave in the state was to be registered, and at the age of 21 (females) or 25 (males), the child was to be freed. A listing of slaves born and registered, and their owners, in Sussex and Warren Counties from 1804 to 1833 can be found at http://RAUB-and-more.com/slavebirths.html Jan Reuther http://RAUB-and-more.com

Hello Everyone, I'm currently in the process of revamping my home page and would like to ensure that all of you can get to it if you want to. Here is a temporary link to it... http://home.att.net/~mforder/homepage.htm It's not completely finished and needs some modifications but it's pretty close. Also, if you have a page that you would like me to add to my "Links" page please forward the address and name of it to me. It's a 2 frame page and if you cannot get to it that means that I'll have to create a seperate non-frames page, please let me know if this happens. One other note the page has a darker background image so that you can read the lighter colored text, if you don't see tha background please let me know also. Thanks, ---Mark

Hi, This is my first posting, so I hope I have done everything correctly. Looking for information on the ROSS families from the Holland Mountain area. Looking for parents and siblings of Daniel/Donald ROSS born abt 1804 in Hardyston Twp. He married Mary Ellen PREDMORE daughter of Daniel PREDMORE III. Daniel/Donald ROSS could be the son of William F. ROSS. Also would like to know if there is a list of the Holland Mtn. Cemetery. I assume that it is a family cemetery and not affiliated with a church. It may be the one listed in the deed of Daniel/Donald ROSS. I have found other family members there (PAULISON, TALMADGE, WILLIS,). I would love to contact other ROSS family descendants. Thank you. Sherre Lockburner Boyanowski

Hello All: Is anyone familiar with the above mentioned cemetery? I understand it is between Stillwater and Blairstown on County Rte 521, Sussex NJ. An ancestor JAMES CLENDENNING resided on 200 acres of land that crossed over from Knowlton Twp to Hardwick Twp at the time of the Revolution. He and his family sided with the British and ended up in Niagara Canada. My hope is that there could be some lead to his brothers/sisters or parents who may have been Patriots and stayed. I know he had a brother, who is actually my lineage, JOHN and he ended up in Canada as well! This man I have no record of other than from NJ, possibly Middlesex Co. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Derek in Hamilton Canada

Is anyone out there familiar with the Newton Baptist Church? One of my Hill ancestors was married there and I think the family was members. Charles Hill chill@innernet.net

I have run into several children dying within several days in 1842 in Walpack. Does anyone happen to know if there was an epidemic plaguing Sussex County at that time? Thanks so much for all your help. Patrice Houck Schadt

Jan Reuther was kind enough to post a transcription of the Walpack Center Methodist Church cemetery to her site. I was fortunate to get several hints from the information posted. Does anyone know what years the Walpack Methodist Church existed. What church was used prior? Are there any church records available? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Patrice Houck Schadt

Does anyone know of Cornelius Warner. He, his wife and daughter Mary 1846 - 1851 are buried at the Walpack Center Methodist Cemetery. Is Arvilla, Arvilla J Myers? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks. Patrice Houck Schadt

Does anyone know of John Spangenberg and Sarah Myers? They may fit into my Myers / Cortright line although I am unsure. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks. Patrice Houck Schadt

Both Bartley Myers and his wife Susan Myers are buried at the Walpack Center Methodist Cemetey. Interred with them are their children: Mary Jane 1842 -1843 Nelson 1845 - 1848 David 1839 - 1842 Amsey 1841 - 1842 I believe they are are related to my Jacob Myers / Sarah Cortright line, but don't know for sure. In Jacob Myers estate papers, it shows that a Bartley Myers owed Jacob some money. Bartley may have been Jacob's grandson. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Patrice Houck Schadt

Has anyone run into Chaulkey Myers in their research? He is buried at the Walpack Center Methodist Cemetery. I believe him to be connected to my Jacob Myers / Sarah Cortright line, but am not quite sure. Any insight would be appreciated. Patrice Houck Schadt
