Hey Pam! Happy Holidays!
We have some Hoaglands at Griggstown who are related to Campbells. Olive Campbell married Ken Hoagland. They live on River Road in Griggstown (Princeton address). Their home phone is 908-359-5867. Tell Olive I gave you her #. They don't have a computer. Olive is very interested in family and I'm sure Ken knows much about his family in the Hillsborough/Montgomery area.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Blessings,
Sharon

I wish the County Library could be of more help on this question, because we
refer people to Beverly's excellent website so often, and it would be a way to
thank her. Unfortunately, nothing at the North County Branch (where I am at
the moment)offers any more information. Lequear's "Traditions of Hunterdon" is
silent, and Honeyman's "Northwestern New Jersey" plagiarizes Snell's history
without adding any information. I do not think there is anything more in the

that the families I was researching had some older adults in the 1880

grandchildren attended school. And they were not tenant farmers; they owned
their property. The particular Wyckoff family I examined was Henry Alexander
Wyckoff and Catherine Cray Wyckoff whose daughter Rebecca married Martin

Perhaps this ads another tidbit to the answer to Beverly's original question about the origin of the name of Holland Twp.

There was a poor farm in Lebanon Township. John W. Hazlett was the steward

I suspect it's possible that my gg grandfather, Abraham LAKE, lived in an
almshouse or poorhouse at some point during his upbringing. He was born
in 1796 in Hunterdon Co, probably in the vicinity of present day Hampton.
Does anyone know of a poorhouse or an almshouse which would have existed
in that vicinity during that time period? Are there pertinent records
that exist?
