Bob, The only CLARK I have is Josiah who married Katy Westfall. You never know, though, your Mary Jane could be a daughter or a niece.

John M. SLOAT is in the 1840 Census for Sussex Co., in 'Hardisten'. My ancestor is Judith SLOAT b 6 April 1764 probably in NY. She was married to Stephen MASTERS in Hardiston 9/16/1783 by Ludwick Hoglan, JP. Is anyone searching SLOAT or know who John M.'s parents may be? Thought perhaps he is a nephew or some relation to my Judith. OR does anyone know if there might be any JP records at a genealogical or history society in Sussex Co. Thanks for any info, suggestions - Diane ~ ********** ~ ********** ~ ********** ~ ********** ~ CHECK OUR QUERY GENEALOGY FAMILY PAGE - www.familytreemaker.com/users/a/n/d/Sharon-D-Andreasen/

Is anyone familiar w/ this family? In the 1850 New Rumley Twp., Harrison Co., OH census Abraham Pittenger age 77 born Hunterdon Co.,NJ. living w/ his son Nathaniel age 31 born Harrison Co & his children : William age 7 & Susannah age 5. I'm wondering if he moved to OH from NJ w/ my ancestor John Courtright? They would have been the same age. Cindy

I have seen many variations of the name so it could be! Geraldine Ryerson Kanner

Hi everyone, I am traveling to NJ to do research this week, and wonder if anyone knows if Dr. Samuel Kennedy's Stone House is still standing. The best I can figure, it would be on Johnsonburg Allemuchy Road, about 1 mile outside of Johnsonburg (Log Jail). Thanks....

Just out of curiosity ----- did the RYERSON family name eventually evolve to RYNERSON? I have no info on either of these names other than some ancient neighborly connections with Ryerson and a more recent (1960s) distant family association with RYNERSON. Wouldn't that be a pip if it's the same family line? Rich in NH

Am wondering if there a 1820 Census available for Frankford? does anyone know how to access it if there is? Are there any other records available for the 1790 -1840 time period. Any help greatly appreciated M.

Hi All, I am new to this list but have been having great fun reading all past posts in the archive. I am trying to find any information on John LaFOLLET (various spellings) who died in Newtown in 1760, perhaps as the result of an Indian attack (that is the myth at any rate). So far I have been unsuccessful at locating any mention of gravesite. And no mention of relatives in his (intestate) will. If anyone comes across my ancestor, I would so appreciate info. I am at a brick wall on this one. Thanks in advance. Susan follet@cyburban.com

Pat, Thank you for the heads up on this film. I just orderd this film myself, however I'm like you I know what year to look for. As you may know I'm also looking for a Clark, isn't it fun! Mary Clark & John Courtright in 1797, have never been able to connect my Mary to the known Clarks in Sussex at the time. I ordered the film just to get a copy for myself. Cindy -

Looking for info on Solomon MOTT who should be in either Hunterdon Co, Sussex Co, or Morris Co NJ around 1750. We show him as a possible brother to Gershom Mott, however we also have a Solomon listed as Gershom's eldest son (according to Gershom's will). Any info on the Solomon/Gershom relationship would be greatly appreciated. Just as a sanity check, this line is related to the Adam Mott of Long Island family. I have no other info on Solomon at this time. We are trying to figure out some Mott-think with regard to offspring naming conventions and "same-name syndrome" and came up with this little gem. Many thanks for anything you can offer. Rich in NH (Rhaycook@mitre.org)

Barb--I'm sorry, but I just can't do any look-ups because I have more the 20 films to go through before September. I simply do not have the time. I would try, but the film is extremely difficult to read, and it would take hours to find anything on it. I never would have found my ancestors on that film if I hadn't had the date and their names. Also, I knew they were there beforehand because I had found their names in an index with a source reference for the film. The film I looked at appears to be single pieces of paper, almost scraps, which could have been torn from books. On these pieces of paper are written names and dates of marriages. For example, the paper on which I found my ancestors had the following information: "October 6 1800 Married Jorg [can't read the last name] two Elisabeth Marin Nov 22 Married jeremah rodgers two Mahala harding Mar 19 1801 Married josiah Clark two Caty Westfall By Me Th Cojad [something illegible]" I used the same capitalization and spelling that appeared on the film. I surmise that justices of the peace or other officials, performed marriages throughout the year, kept a record on pieces of paper or in some notebook, and then took the papers to the place of recording (probably the county seat) once or twice a year. Notice that the above page has marriages for October, November, and March. The record probably was kept during the winter and then recorded at the county seat after the weather cleared. The pieces of paper were written by a lot of different people from all over the county, and some of the handwriting is totally illegible. My advice would be to check first with an index to make sure your ancestors are on the film. LDS has an index: Film #961018. I used an index I had found in my local library which was on a CD by Family Tree Maker. The CD referred to the following film: Marriage papers 1795-1808 Sussex Co NJ County Clerk, Film #1294801. The index gave my ancestor as "Jopah Clark." I knew his name was Josiah and wondered why the index said, Jopah. It turned out that it was not clearly written on the originally paper, but his name was Josiah. Unless you question what the index says, or unless you want a copy of the piece of paper from the film, you will find no additional information on the film that was not already in the index. This is a long way to say: You should check with the index first. I'm sending this to the list because the marriage film was mentioned there last week. Hope this helps.

Is it possible that the deed for land bought in the Unionville, NY area (Town of Minisink) about 1760 would be on file in Newton? Dorrie in Fulton, NY

Does anyone have any knowledge of a Jacob Myers, who married a Roxeny. They lived in Sussex County, NJ. They had several children including a son, Jacob b. abt 1766. This info came from the ancestral file, and there is no source or other information available. I am hoping that someone might have come across this couple. Thanks for any help or insight.

Sorry, folks, My Internet Service Provider stopped providing me its service over the weekend. I know some messages headed my way were bounced back to some of you. Everything seems to be restored now. If you are waiting for a response from me, you'd best resend your query. I appreciate your patience.

My family tree has Mary Fenner (b. 1824) daughter of Christopher and Mary ? Fenner. Mary married Aaron Willis of Stockholm, NJ. They named one of their sons Joseph Beemer Willis (b. 1850). I also have a Katie South who married Joseph Kithcart, perhaps in Morris County, NJ about 1818 or before. I would like to correspond and share information with anyone who may have these names in their family tree. Cathy Dohm Young Mahomet, Illinois vcyoung@prairienet.org
