Stephen Dean and his wife, Elizabeth (Bunn), lived in Greenwich Township, Warren County, in 1850. They both gave their ages as 75 in the 1850 census and both were born in New Jersey. Stephen was a carpenter. Elizabeth might be in the 1860 census of Greenwich, aged 84 and living with the Jacob and Rebecca Shultz family, but her name is given as "Jane". Could that have been her middle name and how were Jacob and Rebecca related to her? Stephen's parents, birthdate and birthplace are not known. Elizabeth was the daughter of Lawrence Bunn of Readington Township in Hunterdon County. I don't know her mother's name. Can anyone help me identify their parents and ancestry? Stephen and Elizabeth had five children -- 1. Christiana, born 1802, married Asa Brayton in Ohio, and died in Ohio in 1881. 2. Catherine, born 1803 in Lebanon Township, Hunterdon County, married Silas Walter in 1826 in New Germantown and died in 1867 in Parker, Morris County. Silas and Catherine lived in Bethlehem Township, Hunterdon County in 1860. 3. Mary "Polly", born 1804, married David M. Welch (son of John Jacob Welsh and Catherine Crater) of New Germantown in 1824 and died in 1881 in Ohio. 4. John, nothing known other than he is mentioned in his Uncle Anthony Bunn's will in 1866, probated in 1867 in Hunterdon County. 5. Stephen, Jr., nothing known other than he is mentioned in his Uncle Anthony Bunn's will. There might have been a son named Barzilla who died in Ohio in 1816, but no proof has ever been found. Stephen and Elizabeth are mentioned briefly in Chambers' "Early Germans of New Jersey", but there are no details about them. Can anyone tell me where and when they died and where they're buried? Any information about Stephen and Elizabeth will be appreciated. Richard Welch Farmington, New Mexico <rwelch@zianet.com> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

If not Mistaken, "New Germantown" is the present day Oldwick section of Tewksbury Township in Hunterdon if anyone was wondering. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Welch [mailto:welch7985@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 2:10 PM To: NJWARREN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NJWARREN] Stephen and Elizabeth (BUNN) DEAN, Greenwich Township, 1850 Stephen Dean and his wife, Elizabeth (Bunn), lived in Greenwich Township, Warren County, in 1850.
