You are looking for information that is quite recent compared to most of the searches that I am on and I wondered if you have tried to get in touch with members of the family that are currently living who might have what you are looking for? Have you ever used the look-up feature on the internet for current phone numbers? I think of it as an additional phone book. Not everyone is in there but I typed the names "Teeple" and "Coeyman" into my computer and found over 30 Teeples and 6 Coeymans in the state of New Jersey. One of the Coeyman is from the Belmar area and it may be a child or grandchild. It would certainly be worth a call or letter. That is an unusual name and I would think there has to be a connection. I didn't bother to check, but you can also look up email addresses and they may have one of those listed also. I hope you have good luck in your search. Alice
