I guess I should have mentioned the location of New Germantown in my query. I just assumed that anyone doing research in Warren County would know where it's located. Yes, it's now called Oldwick and it's in Tewksbury Township of Hunterdon County. The Welsh family lived on what is now called Hill and Dale Road. Their farm was about 1 1/2 miles northwest of New Germantown. My great-grandfather Jacob Welch stopped in New Jersey when he was on his way home to Ohio from South Carolina at the end of the Civil War. He mentions in his diary (which I still have) that he visited several relatives, but he doesn't mention his Grandma Dean (Elizabeth Bunn Dean, wife of Stephen Dean of Greenwich Twp. in Warren County), so she must have died before 1865. Jacob was given quite a few photographs (CDVs and tintypes) by his New Jersey relatives and it's possible that one of them that has an image of a very old woman is his Grandma Dean. My Welch/Welsh family is descended from the Welsch family who settled in German Valley (now Long Valley) in Morris County in the 1740s. I have a considerable amount of information about the Welsch family both in New Jersey and in Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany, but nothing about the Dean family, so I would welcome any help that anyone can give me.
