Jan in GA thanks for the information, I will try to find John Litteels book. I have that he comes from the line of Richard. We got some of our informaion for Valentines of America. I don't remember who wrote that book. I have to dig in my information but I think Joanna and William were married in a Dutch Reform Church. Bill Magie, thanks for your information on Joseph Crane. I felt that he had possibly been a victim of the Am Rev War by the date he died but never found anything to back this up. I have the same birth date for Joseph, not sure right now where we got his death date. Where did you find this information? We have never made it back to NJ to do research but hopefully someday we will. I had another ancestor who came from this area of NJ, Benjamin Freeman Bird who was the son onf Jeremiah Freeman and Elizabeth Marxh Bird. Ruth in MO
