Hello,
I am trying to locate any church records for St John Reformed Church of
Riegelsville, PA. Please forgive the cross posting--I find relatives from PA and
NJ counties other than Bucks Co. attending this church.
On a website, I found a partial listing of members. The site stated this
information came from the book "St John Reformed Church of Riegelsville, PA ,
showing the development and growth of the Congregation from the organization in
1849 to January 1, 1911, Eschenbach Printing Co., Easton,
Hello,
My Beers line is a long one but I am having trouble finding 3 wives.
I have a James Beers, 1595-1635
married Hester 1599-1635, both of Gravesend, Kent, England. Does anyone know Hester's surname?
My Nathan Beers, b 1691 in Fairfield, CT had a son Thomas b 1720 but I can't find a mother for him. I believe Nathan's second wife was Sarah Warne but that's iffy.
My gg George Beers 1815-1890, NJ married Catharine b 1824, NJ. I got this info from the census so I'm still looking for Catharine's la

My Response: Hubert G. Schmidt in his book "Rural Hunterdon", p. 30, 2nd P:
"... The name Amwell was adopted by the new township which was formed in the southern part of what is now Hunterdon County in 1708, and when Hunterdon County was set off from Burlington in 1713 Amwell Township became a township of the new county. "
Sorry

Since I received several requests for further information on the CALVIN/COLVIN family following my last post seeking information as to the identity of the wife of Luther CALVIN (COLVIN), I decided there was sufficient interest to warrant posting the information here. I have had to edit the data to reduce the download time of the email. On many of the individuals, I have further information.

Hi Marshall,
My 6th GGM's gravestone may be one of the earliest in
Hunterdon Co. Her grave, along with my 5th GGF's, has been moved
twice due to hiway construction. They were originally buried near
Annandale, but are now in Clinton at the Evergreen Cemetery.
Martha Martin was 74 when she died, and her gravestone reads:

Thanks for the info, even tho it didn't pertain to me or my tribe.
These days most churches have a website. When I designed the webpages for my church, Griggstown Reformed in Somerset Cty (link below), I deliberately added a page with the cemetery listings. Unfortunately, the cemetery trustees didn't want to give me all of the listings but I did get the older ones. For some reason they felt this wasn't public info. If we could only get local churches to realize the historic value of the stuff they hav

I've been noticing the comments about various old tombstones and notices
from NJ Newspapers.
I am searching for any HENDERSON tombstone located in or near Bethlehem Tp,
Hunterdon Co, NJ.
Edward Henderson died there in 1819 and his wives and some of his children
died there also. I have never been able to find any tombstones or burial
locations. He was involved in Township politics and apparently lived
someplace near Norton in the northern part of the county. He also seems to

Hey Marshall, I wouldn't bet the farm on that book you mention. That's my Moore family and, although the book has some good info, some of it is also questionable.
I have a William Moore born in 1823 but he's the son of Clement Clarke Moore of "A Visit From Saint Nicholas" and I don't know anything about him but his birthyear.
Good luck.

I spent this past week on a research trip to Hunterdon and Warren
Counties. I met a couple of lovely ladies there and we all had a good,
productive time. During the day I visited the WCHS, the public library in
Belvidere, the Marx Room in the Easton Public Library, and in Flemington
the Hall of Records, the Justice Building, and the HCHS where I met
William Hartman.
During the early evening hours I visited various cemeteries. While

Another Reiglesville question: what is the deal with Riegelsville, New Jersey and Riegelsville in Bucks county, PA? Why can't I find either of them in the 1900 census? I'd appreciate any input!

Hello JB Vogt,
I'm in Florida working out of my laptop and with no files with me!, and
don't have all the information available, but the Holcombe-Jimeson Farm near
Lambertville is associated with the Hunterdon County Historical Society
located in Flemington. They have restored barns and other buildings and have
an extensive assortment of farm equipment and memorabilia from earlier times
in Hunterdon.
Please contact Roxanne Carkhuff at the HCHS (I don't have phone number, but
should be in the phone book).

Thanks Beverly for posting the address of the Tewksbury website. My
great-grandparents were married at the home of Fanny Tiger and Caspar H.
Lindaberry in Tewksbury. Both she and her husband, Charles H. Proctor, are
buried in the Cokesbury Cemetery on Water Street. I wonder if her family
had anything to do with the boarding house in Tewksbury. It was nice to
learn a little history about that area.

Thank you so much! I tried all day to contact someone at the Van

of the funeral arrangements according to the obituary. However, I was only
able to speak with the answering service and they were not sure when someone
would be in. I left my name and number and as yet my call has not been

Eli YOUNG had a farm in Trumbull Co., OH circa 1840's. According to DAR

named Peter BELLESFELT, who died in 1844, was buried on the Eli YOUNG Farm,
located in the northeast corner of Farmington Twp., Trumbull Co OH.
Presumably, Peter was Catherine's father.
