Some of you may know that I've been working on a file of information
entitled "LAKEs of Hunterdon Co". I've made some changes to the
information since the last time I sent it to this list. The file is now
getting very large. Rather than post the entire file to this list I've
made it available at
http://melake.erols.com/lake/NewJersey/HunterdonCoLakes.txt
However, I can still send it directly to anyone interested via email if
you like. Let me know.
I'm open to all comments/corrections/updates concernin

According to "The National Gazetteer of the USA, NJ 1983" by the USGS ...
There's a listing for Monmouth that says "see Freehold".
The entry for Freehold shows Frehold, Monmouth, and Monmouth Courthouse
all as variant names. Freehold is a populated place in Monmouth County at
178 feet elevation. The coordinate is 401536N0741627W.

In response to Rita in Lambertville's question about Hannah's rock....
I don't know if anyone had replied before this... ( I've been having problems receiving emails lately)
I asked around to family members who had lived in West Portal. My Uncle said Hannah is the man's last name. He was the town shoemaker. He didn't really know much more. If and when I find out more information I will let you know.....

I am trying to figure out which cemetery my ancestor JOHN HOFFMAN (b. 1746, d. 1828) is buried in. He is mentioned in the Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots database from Ancestry.com as being buried in "Old Cem. Lebanon, NJ." Other sources say he is buried in Cokesbury. Does anyone know which cemetery this is?

I read with interest in the Hunterdon Democrat Newspaper today that a
Hunterdon Church and Parsonage is currently offered for sale. This is
the Oldwick [or New Germantown] Methodist Episcopal Church in
Tewksbury Township. The property is offered at $ 695,000, and the
realty will hold an "open house" this Sunday from 1:00PM to 5:00PM.
The property is zoned for business, so heaven knows what will become
of this wonderful building. All in the name of progress.
According to J. P. Snell's "History of Hunterd
Hi John,
John Hoffman (12 July 1746 - 22 April 1828) a private in the
Revolutionary War, and his wife, Ann Elizabeth Young, b. 20 May 1752, are
buried in the old Lebanon Reformed Cemetery in the Borough of Lebanon. I
know that you will make a trip there so be prepared for a shock. Wear boots
and gloves, bring brush cutters, and mosquito repellent. Fortunately members
of the Genealogical Society of NJ recorded the inscriptions 70 years ago
when the stones were still intact and some care was given to the

Hi,
I am wondering if there was a newspaper prior to the Hunterdon County
Democrat that cover the seventeen hundreds and early eightenn hundreds for
the Hunterdon County area.
Jim P.
I will be going to New Jersey to do some research next week. Where is the best place to do research for Trenton for 1800-1835? I would be looking for wills and probate records, deeds, marriage, death, and birth records.
Is there any place open for research on Sat or Sun?
I have been looking for information on the internet and am just getting more confused. Maybe someone who has done research there could offer some advice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Should that be 1780's? There's a Rev War militia list for Hunterdon Co
online at http://melake.erols.com/lookups.html for lookup requests.
There's also a Loyalist book on the Web page.

Someone asked:
I'm not familar with the "Janeway Accounts". What are they?
These were the store records of Jacob Janeway covering dates 1735-1746.
The store was located, researchers' best guess, near present-day Bound
Brook. They were donated to Alexander Library at Rutgers and later
edited by Kenn Stryker-Rodda and published in the Gen Magazine of New
Jersey in 1958, over volumes 33 and 34.
I might live to regret this, but I own a set and will do lookups ONLY if
you are relatively certain your ances

These court records are NOT online.
They are available at:
1) NJ State Archives
2) NJ State Library
3) FHCs
I've added a few other sources that cover the early 1700s... Here's the

No, I have not set up an URL yet and the Hunterdon County Historical Society
is not presently willing to fund one. I have the original in my computer
[and backed up on CD] and I have a hard copy. The other hard copy is at the
