I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are 462 prisoners on record from the state of New Jersey and almost 100 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

I am trying to locate information on Fanny (Fannie) Young Starkey and her daughter. Fanny died 24 Nov 1970 in Cranford. She was probably living with her daughter's family in Cranford. Her daughter was Gwendolyn Starkey Thurston. Gwendolyn died, according to the SSDI on 7 Oct 1997. Her last residence is also listed as Cranford. I don't know Gwendolyn's husband's name but an Elbert Thurston is listed as deceased in Union County in Feb 1986 and was born about the same year as Gwendolyn. If anyone has any information on these people, I would appreciate your contacting me. If there are obituaries on-line, or available through a newspaper, I would also appreciate knowing that. Thank you very much.

The eminent present-day genealogist, Paul Reed, has called I.W. Dunham's 1907 genealogy a "fraud". If that characterization is too harsh, then the best that can be said about it is that it is erroneous. I would avoid it, even if you can find a copy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Smith" <hawkridge@worldnet.att.net> To: <NJUNION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 8:37 AM Subject: Re: [NJUnion] Quakers & others named in the old letters > There is a DUNHAM Genealogy, written by Isaac Watson DUNHAM in 1907. > No, I don't have a copy, but I believe the NJHS has one.

I am still looking for Daniel Murphy, father of Hannah D. Murphy. He would have been born before/abt 1766. I found Aunt Betsy wife of Amos Vail. She is Elizabeth DELL and her sister Lydia looks like mother to my Hannah D. Murphy. They are daughters of Richard Dell & Elizabeth Schooley.....found many generations on those lines. >From the letters 1825-1837, I found John Marsh D'Camps elusive mother, Nancy WILLIAMS, daughter of Benjamin Williams & Sarah Marsh.

I'd like to know if anyone on the NJ Union list has access to the 1874 microfilm roll of the newspaper, the Plainfield Constitutionalist, so I can get an obituary. The Plainfield library is missing this reel. I have an obituary from the Central Jersey Times dated Nov 19th, 1874, for Henry A. H. Martin, who died Nov 9, 1874. It is a good article. However the Constitutionalist wrote regularly about him during his life and I think that the obituary from that paper would be even more descriptive. If you have this microfilm reel, please contact me. Or, if you know of another location that might have it, so I can go there and read it, please let me know. Sincerely, Jim LaRue

You state that B. Dunham & Sally are respectively son and dau-in-law of Joseph Dunham. Can you tell me which Joseph Dunham? There are numerous Joseph Dunhams from the Westfield area who were contemporaries. My ancestor was Joseph Dunham who married 1785 in Westfield to Mary "Polly" Miller and went from Westfield to Hamilton Co., OH. He had a son Benjamin who I know nothing more about and he had another son, Joseph Bernard Dunham. Looking for family connections in order to find the ancestry of my Joseph. Would appreciate any help. My Joseph & his parents & ancestry has been a brick wall for me.

Harman and others, >From your previous message: "I have also checked the files of  O.D. Drake in Special Collections at Rutgers -- particularly Drake's article on the Jones' family, and he does not give any name to Jeffery's wife." I am a descendant of Jeffrey Jones and am interested in the reference to Drake's article on the Jones family. How extensive is this article and is it (or copies) available anywhere other than at Rutgers? Thanks and again I'm sorry about the confusion I caused about Jeffrey's wife.    

My previous message should have read as follows. "I have Samuel Fitz Randolph m 8 Jun 1693 to Mary Jones dtr of Jeffery Jones, Elizabeth Town NJ.  Does this person connect with your family?" Jeffrey's wife may have been Sephronia but I have no documentation for that. Sorry about any confusion.

Harman et al.- Somewhere, I picked up "Susanna N" as the wife of Jeffery Jones. I also have Elizabeth Glover (daughter of Charles) as a prior wife, married May 24, 1661 and died September of 1661. In Southold I suppose. Did I note the sources? Of course not. It's on my chart but not in my notes. Typical. Sorry. <sigh> Gary ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

Thanks for the offer to check. I have the same published works you mention; I have also checked the files of O.D. Drake in Special Collections at Rutgers -- particularly Drake's article on the Jones' family, and he does not give any name to Jeffery's wife. I am also Fitz Randolph descendant, but not of Jones. Nevertheless, if the posted "Sophronia" has no real basis, it would be better for it not to be on the board as there is always someone who will copy it, put it on a website as "gospel", and then have it mushroom down the line. <grin> Harman Clark ----- Original Message ----- From: "D_T_Leo" <D_T_Leo@msn.com> To: <NJUNION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 2:12 PM Subject: [NJUnion] Fitz Randolph > Jim, > > I am a descendent of the Fitz Randolph family and have the family genealogy > (all branches) plus the Supplement to the Fitz Randolph genealogy, so I > looked for you and it states Samuel Fitz Randolph b 1688 at Barnstable, Mass > to Nathaniel Fitz Randolph and First wife Mary Holley, married Mary Jones on > June 8,1693.

Jim, I am a descendent of the Fitz Randolph family and have the family genealogy (all branches) plus the Supplement to the Fitz Randolph genealogy, so I looked for you and it states Samuel Fitz Randolph b 1688 at Barnstable, Mass to Nathaniel Fitz Randolph and First wife Mary Holley, married Mary Jones on June 8,1693. Mary was born in Elizabethtown, NJ, daughter of Jeffery Jones. The woman's name you mention is one that I have run across. I have most of the Fitz Randolph headstones on my web site so I will check.
