Where would I find Naturalization records for someone who lived in Sussex (Morris) County, NJ around the mid 1700's? My ancestor was of German descent, but I can't determine if HE came from Germany. In many Sussex County histories there is mention of a group of settlers who came from Germany after Casper Shaffer and Mr. Bernhardt who settled early on in the area of Stillwater. Would there be a complete list of the names of those German settlers? I have seen only a partial list. Thank you, Sheryl Gunderman Robinson Researching GONTERMAN/GUNDERMAN and SIMMONS

I also have several members of the same family (siblings and spouses) who moved to the area (Steuben Co, NY) from Sussex Co. I've done a little research as to why, and have found that there were a couple of, for lack of a better term, land speculation companies in the western NY area that apparently advertised the availability of cheap land throughout the northeast. The two I've found are the Phelps/Gorham Purchase or Pulteney Estate and the Holland Land Co. The latter seems to have covered the Ontario Co. area. I do know that there are some 19th C. histories of the setttlement of these areas. There are also records of purchases available, but I haven't looked into these yet. I'm certainly not an expert, and someone else may have more information about this. Kevin >I have a question for the list. I have found 3 brothers of my Frazer line that moved to Ontario Co.

Gerald -- Thank you for your reply to my request for help on the line of Elizabeth Myers and John Losey. I am copying this to the Losey and the Sussex New Jersey list because I think some of the information may be of help to others interested in this line. I found all the Myers relationships mentioned in the sections of the tree you sent very interesting. First of all -- I think the following shows that the Elizabeth who married John Losey was a Myers and not an Ayers. Will of Jacob Myers, Walpack, Sussex, NJ, filed 10 Sept 1850, #2650 S. Mentions daughter, Elizabeth Losey and son in law John Losey. I have identified the children of Jacob and Sarah and have found that the only children to stay in Sussex County were: John Losey and wife, Elizabeth Abijah, died (I think 1849), leaving a widow Harriet Teel Myers. (His will is on file in Trenton, but I do not have it.) Carlise Myers, died abt 1836, leaving a widow, Mariah Coss Myers. She died in 1839, leaving 4 sons, all minors. Tryphenah Myers, is only familar to me as I found her marriage record. I don't think she connects to my Myers line, but probably to the other Myers line. She is not mentioned in Jacob's will, so is not a daughter. She could have been a grandaughter, that hasn't been identified by name. In the inventory of assets in the estate of Jacob Myers, were a list of notes held by Jacob. Among those owing money to Jacob are the following people: John Smith, Peter Fuller*, Abraham Bevans, AVC Rosencrans*, Rundle, James Alfred and Henrietta Myers, Jesse Losey, Bartley Myers, Charles L. Sullivan, Jonathan Rosencrans, Peter Dewitt, Jesse Losey, John Losey*, Phillip Coss*, and Jacob Myers, Jr.** * son in law ** son Elizabeth Myers baptismal record is at The DRC Walpack. Abijah Myers, eldest son of Jacob, had 4 sons and 2 daughters in the 1830 census. Carlisle Myers, had 1 daughter and 4 sons in the 1830 census. ( Maria Coss Myers estate mentions: Jason C., Albert, William, and Erastus Myers (all minors in 1839). Transcript does not mention daughter, have not identified at this point. Albert may be James Albert mentioned with Henrietta in Jacob Sr.'s will. Bartley Myers is the son of Jacob Myers, Jr. and one of his wives. I am not sure which one. Mentioned in the 1860 census of Jefferson Twp., Luzerne County, PA. I don't know who Chaulkey Myers is, perhaps son of Abijah. I think the Harriet Myers who married Isaac is actually Harriet Teel, widow of Abijah Myers. This is a theory and further research needs to be done on that. Also of interest is that in the 1850 census of Walpack, there is a Arvilla Myers, age 23 and a Mary Myres, age 20 listed with Siras Losey and Trifena Myers Losey. Are they daughters of Abijah, or Carlisle? In the Walpack church records, I find no Locey, or Losey baptisms. I have never found a baptismal record for Abijah or Carlisle. According to Snell, Jacob was from Montague. Again thanks for the help and I will certainly post new developments. Hope you will keep me posted as well. Patrice

I have a question for the list. I have found 3 brothers of my Frazer line that moved to Ontario Co. NY after being born in Sussex Co. They all moved sometime between 1810 and 1835. Does anyone have any history or idea why this might have taken place? Thank you for your learned help. Char

I am researching the Samuel Potts Goucher family who lived in Sussex County in the late 1700's, early 1800's. I am wanting to confirm the births of several children in the Hamburg and Hardiston areas from about 1818 to 1829. I also have one child of that family who lived in Furnace Creek through the 1860 census. Can someone tell me what churches might have been in those areas during that time period and possibly what records might be available to help me confirm birthdates and parents' names? Samuel Potts Goucher was also born in New Jersey in 1789 but I have been unsuccessful in finding his parents' names. Thanks for any help you can give me. Stacey Dietiker momdit@aol.com

Hi Listers! I am new to this list and am hoping to find someone to do some census lookups for me? I am willing to pay any fees involved. I am looking for the Teasdale family with son Thomas b. Jan 1880 on the 1880 census and also wondering if Thomas is on the 1900 census? Can anyone help me? Thanks, Karen

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Charlene Crane Kelly? I tried her e-mail address of chilli@magiccarpet.com, but it came back as undeliverable. I found her address on the Sussex county rootsweb page about the Cranes. It looks like we have the same lines down to Charles Crane. In her query she wanted to know some info about Harriet Pinkel Crane. Anyone else with info on this line can e-mail me at kupeho@warwick.net. I'll gladly trade info. yours in geneology, Teri Kuperus
