Are the Ludlow and Ludlum familys of the Westfield area from one and the same stock? Also I am reading that there were two stage coach houses in Scotch Plains in the 1780's. Does this fit with current knowledge? I am reading the History of Union and Middlesex Counties. It lists Sutton's Hotel and "the old tavern on the forks of the road..." Others sources I have read suggest only one stage house. Help. Mike Miller

Millie, Did you check the 1915 state census for Union County, NY? You can order it from your LDS Family History center. Also you do not state their religious affiliation. There was a German speaking Presbyterian Church in Elizabeth, active during that time period. Some of the baptisms were transcribed about 12 years ago into the genealogical periodical published by the Genealogical Society of the West Fields which serves Union County, NJ. You can submit your request to them by email: gswf@westfieldnj.com and also check out the GSWF portion of the Westfield NJ website at http://westfieldnj.com/gswf Pam Bush > This is my first time writing to this list.

Millie, Have you tried the NJ State Census? They took a State one until 1915. Will look and see what I can find tomorrow, but do you have their address? That way, I could probably give you an idea about Church records. German? If so, Catholic or Lutheran? I don't have access to the State census, but you could ask the NJ State Library if they have anything. I think it would be faster then the Archives, unless you go there in person...they are both in Trenton. I was born in Elizabeth and my family lived there since 1882, and my other (maternal) went to the Lutheran Church in Elizabeth. Nothing in the Newspapers for that year at the Library?

The John Miller in 006 appears to be living in Bridgeport, PA as per the 1830 census. Younger Miller in the same and adjacent towns are Michael, another John and next town of Brownsville Isaac and James Miller. Michael Miller was a boat builder as I recall as was William Ludlum Miller who also seems to have roots back to the Westfield area. Does this ring any bells?

Hi Everyone I want to thank all of you who responded to my prior query (re: above). Your reply was much appreciated. Sorry for the delay in thanking you, but my hubby had another bad spell and I got behind in my email. Warm Regards Pat R

For sale at ebay....Plainfield, Boundbrook, Bedminster, NJ set of books. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3517671829&category=29216 Titled Somerset County Historical Quarterly. I don't belong to the Somerset County list, so maybe someone could share. The two counties intermingle a lot though.

Does anyone know if the Second Presbyterian Church of Rahway is still around and if so, where can I write for records? According to a book written about it in 1887 by George P. Edgar, many of my ancestors were members and I would guess that at least the girls were married there. Thanks a bunch!

Some Miller history sources have come my way that I thought I should share with the NJ list. This addition information in from SW PA sources. Anyone who has infromation concerning this and allied Millers, I would like to compare notes -esp. about Andrew Miller and his line. Mike Miller First, NJ source material: Pg 266 History of Elizabeth, New Jersey by Rev. Edwin F. Hatfield D. D 1868 William Miller (Millar) was a weaver, and is thought to have been from East Hampton, L.I. John Miller was one of the founders of that town, and William Miller was residing there in 1675 and 1683. He was here in 1687, and his annual subscription to Mr. Harriman's support, in 1694, was 30s, more than the average. Hea was admitted an Associate here in 1699-1700, and was one of the Memorialists of 1700. He drew No. 62 of the 100-acre lots, "the Edg or foot of ye mountain adjoining Joseph Lyon, at Scotch Plains. It is reported, that when he went to reside on this lot, so far away from the town-plot, "the parting was rendered bery solemn by the expectation, that they should seldom if ever see him again, the difficulty of passing and repassing seemed so great. But to their surprise, as they went to the church on the next Sabbath morning, they found him standing on the steps." His will bears date, Sept 22, 1711, and proved, Oct 4, 1712. His wife Hannah, his five sons, Samuel, Richard, Johathan, William and Andrew, and his two daughters, Sarah (the wife of Peter Elstone, of Woodbridge), and Hannah (wife of Daniel Crane), outlived him. The family has been mostly connected with the Westfield people. * * E. T. Book, B 50. Hedges East Hampton pp 46, New York Doc. Hist. II 441,54; Huntling's Westfield pp 8-11. ---- page 129ish see simple search feature at http://digital.library.pitt.edu/pittsburgh/ William Ludlum Miller was of English stock. Traditionally the family came from Maidstone, county of Kent, England. About 1650 the first American representative of the family, John Miller Sr, arrived in Boston, Massachusetts. Soon afterward he joined the second group of pioneers sent by the New Haven and Connecticut colonies across the sound to settle Long Island. He was probably a man of position for the settlement was named Maidstone in his honor. The name was afterwards changed to East Hampton, Here John Miller Sr and his son John Miller Jr lived and died. Nothing more is known of them, so, relegating them to the category of pre-historic ancestors, the William Ludlum Miller family began their genealogic line in the early eighteenth century with the third generation in America, ie William Miller Sr, the son of John Miller Jr. The wanderlust seizing him he joined a party of adventurers moving on to Passaic Valley, New Jersey. He settled in Westfield, New Jersey, where he reached the office of Alderman and lived until his eighty fifth year. The lure of the west seizing his son, William Miller Jr, he moved to the Miami country of southern Ohio and Indiana, In some section of this area he lived until the age of ninety years. He had five sons, the third of whom was named Noah Miller. Noah Miller was born in 1756. He served in the New Jersey State troops and the Continental Army of the Revolution. After the close of the war, he with his wife, Sarah Ludlum Marsh, and their younger children came to Pennsylvania and settled in New Haven, now a part of Connellsville, Fayette county, Penna. Among their children were twin sons: William Ludlum Miller and Joseph Miller, born February 3, 1793. In New Haven, Noah Miller with the aid of his sons, Cornelius Miller, William Miller and Joseph Miller, engaged in building houses, boats and bridges. There was not much opportunity for school education, but for achievements in practical purposes, the Miller men had an enviable local reputation. William Ludlum Miller was noted for his skill in squaring timber with a broad axe, and the stories of his skill and accuracy in throwing stones and other missles were told with pride by his children. George Miller often related the following as an illustration of his father's marksmanship: "On a bright moonlit night he was returning home with George when the boy saw a possum run across the road ahead of across the road ahead of them and seek safety on the limb of a tree which extended high over the road. On the boy's insistence they both alighted and furnished with a couple of sizeable stones the champion's first missle knocked the possum off the limb, to which, however, the animal hung by his prehensile tail. But his reliance on this useful appendage proved vain. For the second stone ended his life story, and eventually his broiled carcass adorned the Colonel's hospitable table. In 1813 the second year of the war of 1812, William L Miller recruited a company of volunteer local militia of which he became Captain. This company was not called into service. During the administration of William Findlay, governor of Pennsylvania (1817-1820), Captain Miller was commissioned as colonel. This title seems to have been a confirmation of one probably bestowed on him by popular vote of officers of a regiment of a militia of which Captain Miller's company may have formed a part. From that time till his death he was always spoke of as Colonel Miller. In connection with boat building, Colonel Miller traveled extensively, always with open eyes and mind. In 1882 full of initiative and foresight he began building a blast furnace, an industry opened up in that rich region by Colonel Isaac Meason in 1790. The furnace was first named Findlay furnace which was changed to Breakneck Furnace owing to an accident during its erection which did not prove serious enough to justify the forbidding name. Colonel Miller was a Jeffersonian Democrat but not a politician. His only active participation in politics was as a delegate to the constitutional convention of 1837-38. He was an intimate friend of Albert Gallatin , the secretary of Treasury of the United States during the eight years of the Jefferson Administration and the first term of President Madison. Annals of Old Wilkinsburg and vicinity : the village, 1788-1888 / compiled by the Group for Historical Research, Wilkinsburg; edited by Elizabeth M. Davison and Ellen B. McKee. --- Also from Historic Pittsburg. George T Miller, retired, post office, Port Perry, a son of Colonel William L Miller and Jane Torrence Miller, was born in Fayette county in 1825. The Millers are descendants of revolutionary stock on both sides. Col Miller was born in New Jersey in 1793, and moved in 1800 to Fayette county where he was brought up as a carpenter and builder. There he married, and was largely interested in the iron business, having built the Breakneck Furnace near Connellsville. In 1837 having made and advantageous disposition of his interests, he moved to Port Perry where he purchased an extensive tract of coal land. Port Perry was laid out and plotted in 1793 by John Perry, its founder from whom it derives its name, but on completion of the Philadelphia Pike the village was deserted. Col Miller resurveyed it and laid it out anew in 1848. This was at one time the head of navigation, and an old Indian trail led to the mouth of Turtle Creek, where stood a large storehouse. The patent to the Colonel's purchase was taken out by John Frazier who lived near on the ground afterward Braddock's battleground, and was with the English in the fight. Washington stopped and rested with Frazier when on a secret mission to French creek. Col Miller was one of the prominent men of the state, and in addition to his furnace near Connellsville, had a lumber mill, paper mill, and sawmill and found leisure to serve his constituency in the convention held to revise the state constitution, and was one of the youngest members of that body. His children were: George T Miller; Mary P Miller, now Mrs Dr Knox of McKeesport; Phebe Ann Miller, now Mrs Daniel F Cooper of McKeesport; and Albert G Miller who occupies and owns the old homestead. George T Miller married in 1851 Mary Jane Craig, daughter of Samuel Craig of Washington county. Mr Miller has been extensively engaged in business, owning valuable lumber and flouring mills for thirty five years, and also valuable coal properties. He resides on the bank of the Monongahela River, a delightful location, at Port Perry. Mr and Mrs Miller have four children: William S Miller, a clergyman at Washington, DC; Mortimer C Miller, at Turtle Creek, a member of the Pittsburgh bar; John T Miller at Edgewood with the Philadelphia Gas Company, and Joseph T Miller, now being educated. Mr Miller is one of the representative men of this portion of Allegheny county, but having sold out his coal and lumber interests is not actively engaged at present.

Mike- Essex County Deed Book A was destroyed in a fire some time ago. Book A's deeds are however indexed in the first series of indexes to Essex County Deeds. Judging by the 84 year timespan of Book A, it is apparent that most deeds from that time period either went unrecorded or were recorded elsewhere. Colonial period conveyances of property located within Elizabethtown (most of modern day Union County) were sometimes recorded among what are now known as the NJ Colonial Deeds (now at the NJ Archives) or in the records of the Elizabethtown Associates. (The first book of Elizabethtown Associates records went missing in the 1700s.) Aside from that, Michelle has pointed you in the right direction.
