Machemeck is known today as Port Jervis NY. There was most likely a road or they may have followed the Wallkill River. They most likely traveled along the base of the mountain. Deckertown is now Sussex NJ. It may be about 10 miles. Carol -----Original Message----- From: njsussex-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:njsussex-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of S. Pearce Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2007 2:25 AM To: NJSussex email Subject: [NJSUSSEX] Followup to Decker information and Machemeck To Carol and Nancy, Thank you both for the details on the Deckers. I am using them as a marker family because they intermarried with my Jacobus family and also went west to IN before them and with them. I was going to ask where Machemeck was located but it was offered in a later email today as to the four earliest churches, including the early Dutch Reformed Churches. I think this is the area I want to be researching, one side or the other of the drowned lands and going toward Amity, Orange Co., NY. Can anyone tell me if there would have been a path or road from Mount Pochuck, ca. 1770s up to 1803, that would have easily led to Amity in Orange Co., NY, or would there have been a road from Deckertown there, and what sort of mileage that would be on foot? Would people easily have traveled back and forth to these villages, or would the terrain have been difficult? Finally, I haven't asked if there is available through the books you have anything on marriage records? Some family researcher in the past gave my gg grandparents marriage date, that no one else had, and I wondered where he obtained it; it is: William Willis Pearce to Mary Shepard, January 1791 (I think the 18th). Maybe they married in Sussex Co. or possibly Orange Co., NY. The Pearce family reportedly lived near James Jacobus on Mount Pochuck who, according to one census, resided next to a "Sieman" family; James also lived near a John Shepard, who may well have been a relative of Mary's, during this period. I think the Pearces were there by 1779 because a Jonathan Pearce was killed in the Battle of Minisink and I believe him to be a relative, along with the two Shepards who were killed in that battle. James Jacobus, my 3G grandfather, was on Mount Pochuck by 1774. Because Shepards lived in Amity; this couple might have married there or possibly "Machemeck" (various spellings). My Pearces might have worked in the iron mines and perhaps did not own land on Mount Pochuck; I was told they didn't farm before they went to IN, but I know they did farm when they moved from Mount Pochuck to Ontario/Yates Co., NY for a few years in between. Thank you for any assistance. Sharon Pearce --------------------------------- Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

Just a note - the same thing happened in Orange County, NY. It wasn't the County Clerk, it was the people. I have found deeds that were originally conveyed in the 1780's, but not recorded until 1820's etc. Also people were not required to record their deeds to be legal.

Hello Carol VanBuren and the NJSussex List I would be thrilled if you (or anyone else) could show me a relationship between the House Family and the Catherine House (Hanse etc) shown in the following Baptismal records of the Walpack Church in the Minisink Valley. John Mabee, his wife Catherine and family ended up in Ontario, Canada after the Revolutionary War. As you, no doubt, are aware, there was a great upheaval in family life in those days and many records are either missing or difficult to find. Many thanks in advance for any answers or suggestions that you may offer. Sincerely Doug Mabee Part of the records of the Minisink, Machackemeck and Walpeck (Walpack) Churches have been transcribed and placed in the Minisink Valley Reformed Dutch Church Records, 1716 - 1830 published by The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society in 1913 and reprinted in 1912 by Heritage Books Inc. This very informative book has an ISBN 1-55613-556-4. To quote part of the back cover: "Four primary Dutch Reformed churches were established in the Minisink Valley. The Minisink church was located about eight miles below Port Jervis, on the Old Mine Road, in the Township of Montague, Sussex Co, NJ; the Mackackemeck church stood on the Old Mine Road at the junction of East Main Street and New Jersey Avenue, in the city of Port Jervis. The Walpeck Church was within the Walpeck Bend of the Delaware, about a mile west of Flatbrookville, in the Township of Walpeck, Sussex Co, NJ. Under Church Register of the Walpeck Congregation which commenced with the Pastoral Service of John Casparus Fryenmuth, preacher there, May 31, 1741, we find the baptismal records of some of the children of Johan Mebie and Catrin Hanse as follows; Date Parents Child Witnesses June 15, 1775 Johan Mebie Marya Marya Dravese page 26 Catrin Hanse Hendrick Hanse June 8, 1777 John Mebe Johannes nil page 28 Catrien Hankes Aug 25, 1781 John Mabe Abraham nil page 30 Caty Houser b Nov 14, 1779 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol VanBuren" <ty@warwick.net> To: <njsussex@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 6:10 PM Subject: [NJSUSSEX] House & Paugh > This is the family I am looking for. > > > > Carol Van Buren > > > > Descendants of John M.

His wife baked bread and sold it to the crews of canal boats for many years. They lived in a little house beside Hulse's store along the canal. For the last nineteen years of her life she lived with her daughter and son-in-law Sarah and Alfred Young. She retained all her faculties until her death. She smoked (rather puffed at) a clay pipe and told fortunes with tea leaves." Does anyone know exactly where Hulse's store was, if there is a photo of store and house?

>From the actual pension application - "She is the daughter of John Jerolman was born in Bergen Co. N.J., near where the Town of Paterson now is - her father moved from there to Sparta, in Hardiston, Sussex Co. when she was about 12 years old - she was married at that place by Revd. Mr. Cox, a Baptist minister in the year 1773 on the 20th day of December to Thomas Hill, who then lived in Sparta & with whom she lived in the bonds of marriage until his death, which was on the 18th August 1814, according to the record of births, marriages, & deaths of her family, as contained in the family bible kept by her husband & witnessed by him, which bible is now in her possession & from which the date of her own age & marriage & the time of her husbands death, are now taken." Hence, Jerolman and not Judman per below. Jerolman evolved into the spelling Joralemon in Sussex County, one of at least 11 different spellings now in this country of this name believed to have Friesian region origins. J.

Carol, Do you know the names of the siblings of Phoebe Jane Paugh, b. 1798? I have a Marshall Paugh who was born in 1792; you can find him in the 1850 Census for Montague twp., Sussex Co., NJ. I also have this Marshall listed as the father of my G-Aunt, Mary Jane Paugh, b. 1837 with numerous siblings, in her marriage record to Isaac Hamler.

I have 2 Sarah Bests married to Mooneys. Sarah Best b 1810 married John A Mooney b 1800 Sarah Edna Best b.1902 married James Sylvester Mooney b 1900. There were a quite a few Best-Mooney marriages. At one time there was an annual Best Family Reunion for many years. I inherited copies of the family records for Best and Mooney complied by the Reunion secretaries. Based on these records, the William Mooney for this obit would be: William Mooney 1855-1927 married Sallie Ann Saunders. Parents are Sarah Best b 1810 married John A Mooney b 1800 I have a Andrew Mooney 1832-1910 married to Lydia Tillston. (surname must be spelled incorrectly) Andrew is also the son of Sarah and John A Mooney. Thank you for all the info!

I had a date of 1860 for his birth, but no date of death. I don't think I know anything about a Sarah Best. My interest in the Tillotsons all goes back to the sister Eliza Jane that married Michael McConnell. Michael was one of four brothers with no sisters and so I have researched the Tillotsons in part to understand the naming of children in the family of Michael and Eliza Jane. There are lots of connections and possible connections here: I did know about the Henderson-Tillotson marriage and have some of the births of the children of that marriage in Morris County. Do you have any information about Eliza Jane's first marriage to a Morgan? She and Michael McConnell were married in late 1856 and her parents' names are given, but her name was Morgan. Two of the children in Michael's and Eliza's family were born before the marriage and one or both may have been Morgans. Also sister Frances Almira Tilliston that others have married to a John Slaght or Slate was first married to an Elijah McConnell. I wish I could say whether he was related to my McConnells. Also I would love to know who Elijah's first wife Agnes' parents were. Another connection is sister Sarah Elizabeth Tilliston. Her first husband was a Blanchard, by whom she had a son "Gus" Augustus. After Sarah's first husband died she married Samuel McConnell, one of Michael McConnell's 3 brothers. There were no children by that marriage, but Samuel and and Sarah were both biological grandparents of Gus' son because Gus married Samuel's daughter Mary Catherine McConnell. Sarah's death certificate lists her as a McConnell, but you may already know that she is buried as a Blanchard. You had helped me with information on Daniel McConnell and Ida Samantha Norman. He was a son of Michael and Eliza Jane. Michael and Eliza Jane's youngest son, Michael Jr., is the one who I recently learned suffered a head injury from standing up on a train and running into a bridge.
