I cannot seem to get this sent to Jan Ruether. My mail tells me RAUBand more.com is not a member??? How can this reach Jan? Dear Jan I believe I have read everything on your site that in any way pertains to my husband's maternal family. Also I have been to Hunterdon County library, Warren Hist. Soc., various cemeteries and numerous internet sites for info. I have concluded that my husband and you are 42nd. cousins somehow !!!! I may have finally found the connection to the Knowlton branch, as I believe your Wilhelm (1767-1845) [and Elizabeth (1769-1859)] is the cousin of our Christian (1762-1829) who had married Lena Insley, he being the son of Christian (Crest) (?1720-1770) who had come to Scotts Mountain, Franklin Twsp. from Amwell in 1758. But then I have his father as Wilhelm Sr. married to Maria. Where does this elder Wilhelm fit into the picture? Is he a brother of the first Christian, along with Paul and a Christopher who stayed in Amwell? My first problem- I found Wilhelm and wife Elizabeth buried in Montana Churchyard- not far from the homestead. Is this correct? Why not Knowlton where they went to church and were so active? Second problem--Who was this first Christian (Crest) who was married to Mary and has a will (that is avail) and owned and retained property in Amwell after moving north? I have doc. that Conrad (Koenrat) Kuhl was nat. July 1730 and probably born about 1690 in Germ. and a Paul Cool nat. July 1730, born about about 1710 in Germ. But no other info for the first Christian, nat. in Oct 1754. How do Conrad, Paul and Christian connect? There is nothing that I found in Hunt. to sort this out? Third-- Can find not another word about Conrad anywhere, with any spelling of the surname- Cool, Kaul, Koul, Kuhl, Kule, Kaull etc. as found on various Hunt. Co. doc. One place it speaks of Paul Cool Jr., not the son of Paul Cool Sr. which adds to the jumble, but he is probably Christian (Crest)'s son, since six were born before the move here. Was there more than one Paul who went by Cool, as there are different reports of his parents names? M. Lake has one set and someoone else another. I am very interested in any light you could shed on this, particulaly the Amwell people. We definately go back to Christian and Mary, but further back I cannot connect the dots !! Will appreciate any ideas. Thanks in advance. Mary Alice
