Elton,
There were probably more than one James Clark living in Hunterdon County during the early to mid 1800s. Please see the Index to the Hunterdon Gazette at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~njhunter/

Bill

Perhaps people will also consider that while shaving cream may not be

OK, Al, you beat me, I was off line due to dinner, the store and a walk with the dogs.
You summed up the Gazette project very well. One correction though, the CDs contain ALL the digital photos from which the Text documents were typed.
Regards to all and happy hunting in Hunterdon County!

Dear Anita Clayton,
Many thanks for the information you put on the Hunterdon site. May I
ask whether you still have access to that film? If you do, and if it's not
asking too much, could you please look for OSBORN, if there is an index of
surnames? Sorry to say, I no longer can get to a Mormon FHC, and I'd be
very, very grateful to have help on this.
I also want to mention the fact that I am researching CLAYTON in the

Does anyone on the list have access to an index of land records for the years 1770 - 1800 for Hunterdon Co? How would I go about requesting copies of records and what is the cost for copies? I would be happy to write to the location but have no idea where these records... if they exist... are located. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Cinda Justice

And may I suggest that before you do that, you take a
chemistry class (preferably one involving
chromatography) and a geology class (particularly one
involving chemical weathering). That way, when you

I was recently on a genealogy trip to NE Ohio researching my Connecticut lines that moved there.
I also descend from William (1772-1851) and Elizabeth (Duckworth) Chamberlin from Hunterdon Co. who are buried in Vienna, Trumbull Co., OH. I took pictures of their tombstones, if anyone else is related and would like a picture. The stones are quite faded because of their age.
I believe William's grandmother was Eleanor Clayton who married Joseph Taylor ca. 1725. I believe her father was John Clayton and

Or you can be a decent replica from the Hunterdon County Historical Society for $40.00. That is where I got mine. With over a 1000% mark-up on E-Bay, I am definitely satisfied with my copy.
In fact, there is often a few things on E-Bay that sell for much more than the Historical Society or the Hunterdon Co. Historica and Cultural Commision sell it for. (Plu

sounds like shaving cream is OK
That way, when you
read the "shaving cream causes damage to tombstones,

nonsensical pseudoscientific gobblygook that it is.

Thank you for letting me present my plea for the
approach of listening to chemists and geologists on
the issue,
Seems to me common sense tell you that putting shaving cream on a tombstone can not be a good thing.

If you find one I would like to know the name of it as well. Been
searching all the lists I can find and my family seems to be invisible. Found a few
in the census but nothing more. Ann

Thank you for all this info. What I need to do get the "Adam BELLIS
homestead" deed history, plus the deed history on immigrant Adam's brother
William's land referred to in LEQUEAR's "Traditions...": "Adam, the
father, had a brother William who settled where Gideon Quick now lives..."
and map out this area.
But something new has now popped up. Lequear's "Traditions" mentions that
Adam's son Andrew moved to the Hopewell meeting house. Was this a Quaker
meeting house?
Thanks!
