Dear Don,
I only have a limited number of pages that I copied out of the book
here at home---only pages that contain references to my family. I will check
those out and see if I can find anything.
Otherwise, if you can be patient, I will save your email; and
the next time I get down to the HCHS, I will look at D'Autrechy's book
again. It is indexed, so it should be easy to hunt out any reference to
them .
I can't promise exactly when, but it should be within the next mo
Mike,
There are 4 WINTERS & WINTER in the Sussex County Will Abstracts at Nancy
Pascal's site, all living in Greenwich.
Check out the following chronology, things changed alot over the time period
you're interested in. Took me a while to figure out just where I had to go
look for records, Flemington, Belvedere or Newton! (I can't remember the
county seat for Morris, opps)
Warren County was split from Sussex County in 1824
Sussex County was split from Morris in 1753

Actually, Riegesville, NJ is in Hunterdon Co. The Warren County line is

I have perhaps a related question ... Were the WINTERS or WINTER living in
Sussex County, NJ, related to the WINTERSTEINs?

Once you're talking about St. James (Straw) Church, you're over in present-day Warren County, but it was still Sussex up till 1824 or 1825.
I have an Elizabeth Leffler in my database who married Peter B. DeWitt (abt 1803-1886).
Here are some early Sussex deeds that refer to the area around where the Straw Church is located:
!Sussex County Deed Book, Vol. G, page 117, 14 November 1801, JACOB SHNYDER of Forks Twp., Northampton County, Penn., Weaver, and MARY his wife to PETER SCHWARTZ of Greenwich, Sussex C
I was in the Hunterdon County Justice Center just last week. The records are
in a separate room on the second floor (no worries about flooding when the
river rises!) and the staff was extremely helpful. The clerk who helped me
said that she attends the church (Zion Evangelical Lutheran Chruch in
Oldwick) where several of my ancestors are bured and told me a little about
the church.
The records are indexed alphabetically by the first letter (or first two
letters) of the last name, then by first name (which
My great great grandfather JOHN S GARY married ELIZABETH D YOUNG of Kingwood
Hunterdon County in 1842. Her death record in 1907 lists her parents as
WILLIAM LAIR and ANN YOUNG. ELIZABETH, was born abt 1822. My question is
,was her father WILLIAM LAIR or WILLIAM LAIR YOUNG? Or was Ann young
unmarried when she had ELIZABETH YOUNG? I do know there was a WILLIAM LAIR
,living in the area near Flemington at the time. I would really appreciate
any help in this brick wall.
Dear John,
From what I gather from the book, I believe that the list only
included "active" members at the time of the church centennial.
Statistics indicate that during the first decade (1798 - 1808),
membership was 85 people. By 1848, the membership had increased
sharply to 295. To your point, I do not include that many early
members on my website.

Dear Beverly,
Unlike today when anything seems to fly in our churches, it seems that
the churches of previous times really expected their members to uphold the
standards of their denominations by their actions and their words.
So if a person failed to maintain the standards of the church in a
marked way (say a woman gossiped notoriously, or a man was given to public
drunkeness, or a person merely spoke against the teachings of the
denomination), they were often excommunicated from the fe
For those who may be interested, I just loaded images of the early
ministers of Flemington Baptist Church (1798 - 1898) to my website.
The images may be accessed through the following URL:

It is interesting to note that in the timespan of one hundred years,
the Flemington Baptist Church only had eight leaders. They were:
Charles Bartolette, 1812 - 1846
Clarence W. Mulford, 1846 - 1849
Levi G. Beck, 1849 - 1851
Thomas Swaim, 1851 - 1867

I have George D. Winters (b. 8 Jan 1823). Family tradition has it that he had siblings,
Margaret, Andrew, Joseph, Ruth, and Peter. For some reason they were bound out to various
families:
George bound out to Drake family up around Asbury
Margaret bound out to Gustin who lived around Newark and later in NYC.
Andrew bound out to a blacksmith at Hackettstown.
Joseph bound out to a family in Harrison, NJ.
Ruth bound out to Banisters family near Hackettstown.
Any information about their parents would be a
My ggggrandfather who was Christopher Loeffler/Lefler was married to Mary/Maria Coosart at the Zion Church abt 1812. Later that year his oldest son,Robert, was born and baptised.(His brother Jacob married there abt 1810). They lived in Lebannon(I have never been to these places and I don't really know what I am talking about). Other close family surnames were Cregar/Hildebrandt. We are searching for Christopher's family. Could they be buried in the Straw Church cemetery? Bob Lefler
I am trying to establish the date of death for
ELECTRA (LECTY, LETTIE) ROCKAFELLER HIGGINS
so that I can either look for an obituary or obtain a death certificate, both of those to the end of identifying her parents.
She was born November 1850. In both the 1860 and 1870 censuses she was living with the family of Nathan Smith in Clinton. (I believe she would have been a daughter of Catherine (Meligan) Smith from a previous marriage).
In 1871 she married Sylvanus Shaw Higgins and they lived in Rarita
An ancestor of mine has the middle name GAINES (Edward G. Phillips). I do not know how this name became his middle name. I can't locate a Gaines in his father's side and his mother's parents were a Smith and Van Schomp. E.G. Phillips was born in AMWELL around 1814-5.
Does anyone know of any GAINES families or places in this area?
thanks.

Yes, the church still exists and operates as such. Have driven by it for
years and yet don't know exact distance but I'm guessing it is about 3 miles
north of Lebanon, up Cokesbury Road, which can be reached from Interstate 78
(exit 20B) or Route 22. There is a cemetery to the right of the church but
not sure of the condition of the stones. The stones are quite old ...that
much I recall. If you'd like to contact the church, the phone number is
(908) 236-6151. Address is 610 Cokesbury Road.

To all the helpful listers,
I should have said that I viewed the LDS mf#802474 "Index to Files
(Hill-Hy)", which was a mf of Index Cards for the court records. From the
replies I've read, it seems quite easy once you're actually at the
courthouse.
A person I was in contact with went there, looked at the records, and
sent me notes of what they contained. She didn't make copies of the records
because at that time, $3.00 per page was expensive enough. I know LDS has mf

Hi Everyone,
I am hoping there might be a lawyer on the list or at least someone
who has done enough genealogy that they might have run across something
similar. I am sending this message to several other lists to see if I can
come up with an answer. Otherwise I suppose I shall have to pay to consult a
lawyer.
This involves an Application for Letters of Testamentary for my
great-grandfather's estate in CT., but perhaps this is standard legalese
that might be used anywhere.

I'm looking for information regarding a Thomas B. Kirkpatrick who was
probably born about 1795. He married Nancy Ann Paxson about 1817. Their
children were Joseph B. (b. 5/18/1818), Eliza (b. 3/8/1820), Keziah (B
3/30/1822 who married John P. Skelton), and Letitia P. (b. 3/17/1824). I
believe Thomas died before 1828.
If you have any information about this Kirkpatrick family, I would appreciate
hearing from you.
Thanks,
