I don't know anything about the diner but I am also researching Bolmers and Hartrums, also Fraze. Rachel Fraze was married to a Richard Bolmer. All from New Jersey. My maiden name was Bolmer, can I help? Maybe we are related. If it turns out we are looking for the same people or I can help you, I will give you my email address.

John,
Understand your map fustration... I also have given up or stopped where I
am with a map of Somerset county... I was offered a map of the county, but it
was 6x8 --six by eight FEET...

I received an e-mail from the library yesterday. The 1851 Cornell map is
still there. Apparently, it is framed and cannot be copied on their copier,
but it should be readable.
My compliments to those who have volunteered to make an index. I wish I
could help, but distance makes that impossible for me. I am trying to locate
and buy an original map from several map sellers, but I haven't had any
positive responses yet.

Mary,
Around 410-450 AD four hundred years of occupation ended for Britain as the Romans left to defend their holdings in Europe and their homeland. Saxon adventurers seized the opportunity and start invading. Waves of Saxons descended upon Britain, and referred to the .
native Cymreig in the far west as waelsa, or foreigners, as has been noted in the previous posting. So, the surname Welsch could also denote a family from Wales.
Here's a link to an Encyclopedia Britannia article.

Dana is correct. The map is on the wall of the society library to the left
of the door. But more important is that copies were made of the quadrants and
property owner names in each township were indexed by volunteers and are
available in the library. One just has to know to ask for the index of names.
That reprinted map is the best mid-19th century resource of Hunterdon County
people and could be coordinated with the 1850 census, all thirty years before
Snell's 1882 History of Hunterdon.

Thank you, Jerry. Very nice of you to take the time.
I believe the "J.J. Vliet" you found on the map must be the one who owned
property on Person Road between Bloomsbury and West Portal (Beers Atlas of
Hunterdon County).
DNA testing has proven that my Jacob B. Vliet ties in with the Vliet's who
lived along that part of the Musconetcong, but I'm still looking for the
parents of my Jacob. We know a lot about Jacob's wife, Barbary Opdyke, but
almost nothing about Jacob.
Thanks for trying to help.

Hi Betty,
On the Samuel C. Cornell Map of Hunterdon County dated 1851, there is a listing for a J. Welch who had 2 properties on what is now Hill and Dale Road on the North side of the Road [Hill & Dale] about 1/2 mile and 1 mile West of CR
517. This is about a mile due North of present day Oldwick. I also looked in an area about 5 miles around Bissell and that is the only listing I noted for the name WELCH.
Regards, Bill
PS: Please note that the Index to the Hunterdon Gazette had listings for about 20

Yes, Laurence, we've been in touch before. Can't remember the Vliet
person's name, but I'm sure we've covered it.
I'm looking for Jacob B. Vliet....actually, I really want to know who his
parents were.

I don't know if anyone has time or inclination to do 'look ups' on the
Samuel Cornell map of Hunterdon, but IF there's someone out there.....I'd
like to know if JACOB B. VLIET appears on the map. He could have been
living anywhere between Still Valley in Greenwich Twp and West Portal,
Bethlehem Twp, I suppose.
Thanks for any help!!

Please, if it is at all legible. Is there a Welsh farm
listed? I believe it would have been very near the
community of Bissel(l). Thank you.

You might want to email BooksNJ and ask about the map. They may be able to
give you more information on it. They might even have a link to a copy of
it - if it is also available on the NJ State Archives website, for instance.
Jonathan Sheppard Books has many map reprints that are really nice and I
know he has some for NJ. www.jonathansheppardbooks.com should be the
website address... and the link to the maps section is:

Happy hunting!

Hi Lorrie,
I just visited the URL of the site at the bottom of your posting to the list, and clicked on some of the surnames in the surname page and all links were 'dead'. I noticed a few possible connections to my families: OPDYKE, SUTTON to name a few. Do you have your info at an alternate location? By the way, a wonderfully designed website!

Hi Lorrie and all,
I have been in touch with Dave, and have come to the conclusion that the Hartrum website has a 100% clean bill of health. It is only when I use my (old!) version of Netscape that I can't open any of the links. I tried it with Internet Explorer, and it works just fine. Sooo its a false alarm.
It was interesting to find an OPDYKE in the HARTRUM recipe on the website - James Skene OPDYKE, b. June 1, 1862; married Elizabeth Mary HARTRUM abt 1889. Anyone know who his parents were? I find it
If someone from the list emailed me the past few days about the various common connections
of our Hunterdon County ancestors that we share in England, please email me again - I
deleted your email by mistake. Sorry, I don't recall the surnames mentioned. Got
slap-happy with the "Delete" button too late at night.... ;-(

yes i believe that one of the farms is still in existence, on pleasant grove
road, i used to live across the street , in fact my property still had the
old cow path on it on the right side, but the farm house is still there and the
barns, it's beautiful and has been restored, i am sure the long valley
historical society would have more information for you, they are located in the
center of town on fairview avenue in long valley, teresa.
Hi Mary!

Hi all:
I am also researching Hartrum's. Charity Elizabeth Hartrum was my Great Grandmother. I am trying to place all the Hartrum's from the New Jersey area to their correct lines. If you'd like to share & compare notes on any Hartrum's, you can contact me directly,or through this Hunterdon County List, or through the Hatrum List at Rootsweb. Here's the links for the Hartrum lists and web site....

Marshall,
I am pleased to volunteer for the indexing of this map, although I
don't have a copy. Have you visited the newly renovated Hunterdon
County Library at Flemington? In the new reading room there is a very
old, framed county map on the wall - very large. Is this the 1851
Cornell Map? Maybe we can seek permission to convene at the library
and use the map for indexing. Of course, for folks that can't get to
Flemington, we will need hard copies.
What do you think?

In 1850 Jacob Welsh owned two farms northwest of New Germantown (go about
1/2 mile north out of town and turn left (west) on the first road. Go about
a mile and the farms were on the right). One of these would have been a farm
he bought at the time of his marriage. The other of these farms would have
been his mother's, Catherine (Crater) Welsh, who died in 1845. Can anyone
tell me which of these farms had been owned by Catherine... and is the
original farm house still in existence?
