    1. [NJWARREN] Re: Moses PETTY doc search/ and GANO
    2. Ruth, I don't know how much help it will be with dates, but the book you were probably reading was "The Hunterdon County New Jersey Militia, 1792" compiled by Hiriam E. Deats, sec. of the Hunterdon County Hist. Soc., pub. 1936 in Flemington, NJ. I copied pages during my last trip to the Hunterdon Co. Library in May. As to dates, it charged the officers with enrollment of "every free and able-bodied white male citizen between the ages of 18 and 45". An additional quote from the intro: " the book containing the enrollment of the Hunterdon County Militia, compiled pursuant to the law of 1792, and from which the following records were copied, was formerly on file in the County Clerk's office, but is now in the Public Record Office at Trenton"...I assume it now resides in the NJ State Archives. Unfortunately, I didn't copy the pages for Kingwood. I do however have the lists of officers for Reading, Lebanon, Tewkesbury, Kingwood, Alexandria, and Bethlehem Townships. (your Moses wasn't listed among the officers). I also have the full list for Alexandria Twp., a list of the Amwell Twp. Exempts (not serving), and a partial list of Bethlehem Twp. (Abel, Mathias to Farrow, William). A note to Fran & John...there are the following GANNOES' in the Alexandria Twp. list: Richard, Samuel, Stephen, William. If anyone would like me to look for names in my very limited areas, I'd be more that willing...wish that I'd copied the entire book, now that I'm back in FL.! Til the next click, Happy Hunting, Wendy A. Heitzman
