Hi All... Just wanted to let everyone know I am in possesion of the 1937 Morrell High School Yearbook (Irvington, New Jersey). I would happy to do any look-ups if someone out there is interested. Regards- Stacy [email protected]

Mamie Franke Faucett, b 1895 in Texas, d March 1, 1978 in The Roosevelt Hospital, Manhattan, New York. Her last residence was given as 371 7th Avenue, New York City. She was buried at Rosehill Crematory, Linden, Union Co., New Jersey. Mamie was a concert pianist. Would appreciate correspondence with anyone who would have information on Mamie, or who would be willing to search the Linden newspaper for an obituary. Wanda Ridge

Hi there! I am trying to find SKS from the Plainfield, Union, New Jersey area to find information on my great-grand aunt Lillian NISSEL (nee ZIEGLER). She was living in Plainfield, Union, NJ in 1969 when her sister (my great-grandmother) Ellen passed away. She is not listed in her sister Mary's obituary in December of 1976. I hope someone can help me find this elusive family member. I believe that they may have had children, but am honestly not sure. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. Take care.

Thank you so much, Gary, for the address on the Scotch Plains FHC. Joyce

The new director of the Short Hills FHC, which will be operating out of the Scotch Plains FHC for about the next 12 months, sent me the address of the SP FHC: 1781 Raritan Rd Apparently, they will be maintaining the hours of BOTH FHCs COMBINED, so this might be a great opportunity to catch up on research in large chunks of time.

I was recently advised that the Short Hills FHC is being renovated or will be closed for a while and that the films there have been transferred to Scotch Plains, so I belive it is operating. I've never been there, but I thought it was on Raritan Road near Clark. g ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

The corner of Edgar Place and Chilton Street is also close to the corner of Lincoln Ave and Chilton St. If you have access to map quest or have maps, locate the spot. I remember a gigantic elm tree at the left of the drive way standing on Chilton St. If nothing else, this exercise is a delightful exploration of my own history.... I remember some of the names of residents, for good and ill, if it is any interest to you.... David Kurtz Boca Raton Fl

Hi list, There's a Family History Center listed for Scotch Plains on Front St. in Plainfield. Does anyone know if it's open? Thanks for any information, Gloria [email protected]

David Kurtz: Boca Raton FL >> ============================================ In a message dated 02/02/2000, [email protected] writes [email protected]: Subj: Jonathan (or any other) HAMPTON. <> ============================================ Hi to David in MOUSE MOUTH, FL (aka Boca Raton, in Spanish) + Judy, etc.: Among other things, I'm an architecture buff-- but it's somewhat difficult to do much serious research on historic Elizabeth here in Chicago. My relative William Jay Magie (born in Elizabeth in 1832 & died there in 1917) was not only Chief Justice of the NJ Supreme Court (1897-1900) and NJ Chancellor (1900-1908) but also an excellent genealogist. Several relatives of mine are VERY grateful for the fine family research he did in Scotland & NJ, especially in the 1890s. My brother Bill and I have copies of some of WJM's ca. 1915 notes that were to be part of a genealogy that he never finished before his death on 15 Jan 1917 at his N. Broad St. home in Elizabeth. In these notes, WJM says that the ca. 1699 home of our ancestor John McGhie (AFN:P241-VV), born in Scotland ca. 1659 and died at Elizabeth in 1735, was located at what would now be approx. 124 Chilton St, near the SW corner of Chilton St. and Edgar Place-- although most of John's farmland seems to have been located to the northwest, along what is now Magie Ave. WJM also says that John's son Joseph (our ancestor also) sold the Chilton St. house and land to one JONATHAN HAMPTON in 1779, when Joseph apparently moved to a new home (not extant) on Magie Ave.-- and this is corroborated by Ernest L. Meyer's Revolutionary War map of Elizabethtown (pub. 1879). WJM indicates that foundations of the 1699 house were still visible in the 1830s. Dave, I'm not sure what house you're referring to near the corner of Chilton and Lincoln. The Meyer map shows a Crane house that was just west of there at the time of the Revolution-- NE of the Chilton-Elmora intersection. There's was also the ca. 1836 house of Joel W. Magie (brother of J. O. Magie, below) at 330 Elmora Ave, probably just south of Livingston Rd. In 1939, the Joel Magie House was identified by the US Dept. of Interior "as possessing exceptional architectural & historical interest"-- but nonetheless was leveled in 1950 to make way for a Jewish school. I'm not sure what's the oldest Magie house in Elizabeth. But it may be the ca. 1790 Federal style home of my ggg-grandfather Ezekiel Magie (1758-1826), a Revolutionary War vet, at 910 Magie Ave.-- sadly remodeled almost beyond recognition in the 1930s. Another old Magie house is the well-preserved home of Ezekiel's nephew John Magie (1785-1862) at 815 Magie Ave. and later occupied by John's son John Ogden Magie and his wife Mary Clark (daughter of Amos Clark?). It looks like a ca. 1840 house, but portions of it may date back to the mid-1700s. I haven't visited either of these houses since 1994-- and, if they have since been vaporized, I wish someone would PLEASE tell me. John (in Chicago).

Hi Harman I am looking for the parents of David Thompson. He was born abt. 1703 (location unknown). He died March 10, 1800 in Guilford, CT (where I live - no info at the town to indicate birth location or parents names). Several men from Guilford/New Haven area removed to NJ in the late 1600's. Maybe he was born in NJ? He named his children David, Joel, Asenath, and Jane (Jane was also wife's name). Appreciate any information or clues. Since Thompson is my maiden name, this line is very important to me. Thanks so much.

Mr. Clark: Your information on the Hampton/Stites/Manning/Fitz-Randolph connections was truly helpful to me, as lucky bystander in the rich NJROOTS dialogue stream. By odd chance, both my paternal and maternal ancestors include Stites sisters in the early 1700s, and Mannings and Fitz-Randolphs further down in the line. My question to you is this: Can you tell me more about the sources you cited, namely the publication information on: 1) "Woodruff Chronicles"; 2) "NYGBR"; 3) "Woodruffs of New Jersey"; 4)"[FAV CD]". Much Appreciated.

Is anyone researching the HAMPTON family of Elizabeth/Rahway? I have a marriage record for Jonathan Hampton of Richmond (Staten Island?) marrying Elizabeth Bird in Rahway in Feb 1740. Jonathan's will dated 1745 mentions his wife Elizabeth and his son-in-law, John Bird. I had read somewhere that the term "son-in-law" could also refer to a step-son in the colonial wills. If this is the case, this Elizabeth Bird could be the widow of Joseph Bird of Rahway. Any more info on this family would be appreciated.
