I am intrigued by the line on Abraham Williamson. I'm a descendant of Abraham
TIETSOORT, and his father's name was William Williamson. William came into
New Amsterdam in the early to mid 1600's. My ancestor, his son went to
Poughkeepsie, NY, and then to the North Branch area...possibly because he had relatives
there? The children of his father's brother perhaps (with no name change?)
Hmmmm.
Perry- How can I get my hands on a copy of the upcoming Williamson work?
I'm a little preoccupied right now, be

Re. SCHARFENSTEIN (SHARP), CRAMER
Might you have answers to these questions?:
- Could the name SCHULTZ possibly have been spelled SCHOLTES?
- Do you have any info on Margaret CRAMER's ancestors and from whence they
immigrated to America? A Mary CRAMER (1793-1850) married William
Rockefeller BELLIS circa 1810 in Hunterdon Co NJ but I have nothing more on
Mary.
FYI, the NJ BELLIS (BELLESFELTs) were from Nordhofen (Neuwied), Germany, not
far from Urbach, and immigrated to America around 173

My husband and I visited Flemington, last October, in hopes that we might

I hope that my post was not regarded as a criticism. The work that Dennis, Bill, and many many others is very much appreciated. Their devotion of their free time to assist others in pursuit of genealogy is above and beyond the call.

I am not ungrateful for everybody's efforts. Again, sorry if my post
Matthias SCHARFENSTEIN was a Palatine, born about 1678 in Urbach, Grafschaft Wied (north of Koblenz, Germany). He married Dorothea Maria, daughter of Johannes Wilhelm WEYER, in 1713 in Urbach. Dorothea Maria died in 1725 in Urbach and Matthias married Anna Gertrude SCHULTZ (she was possibly a widow named ALSDOR) in 1731 in Urbach. Matthias was naturalized in New Jersey in 1744, so his date of arrival was probably at about that time. Does anyone know his exact date of arrival and the name of the ship? He die

I, too, am a descendent of Dorothy Sharp(enstein) and William Welsch, Jr.
Their son Moritz (Morris) married Margaret Cramer (d/o Mathias Cramer and
Anna Maria Henn), and I'm down several generations from there.
The only information that I have on Johann Moritz Scharfenstein beyond what
you wrote is that he was naturalized on 14 Aug 1750.
I would be very interested in a picture of Dorothy's gravestone. I have one
of her husband's which is still there.

The 1910 census images are pretty easily accessible, though, on that Ancestry feature. Once you get the ED and page number (it's the stamped page number rather than the one written in the right corner), you can find the image fairly simply by browsing in the right area. Takes an extra step or two, but not really difficul, and after a while you get a feel for which section your page number will likely be in.

John,
In the book "History of East Amwell" there are several Rev. War records
mentioned. My direct relative Abraham Williamson was not listed in this book, but
another Abraham Williamson is. I found the book at the Hunterdon County
Library on Rt. 12 outside of Flemington.

Hi, Marshall!
Let me see if I can explain this so that you will be able to understand. My
fingers are crossed in hopes that we might have a connection!
My husband is a descendant of the founder of the New York branch of the
Yawger family, Philip Yawger, who was born on June 22, 1753. Supposedly,
while still in New Jersey, Philip married Katherine Kuhl who was born March
25, 1755. John Yawger was one of Philip's sons.
Philip and Katherine had 11 children. Besides John, another one of their
children
Roger,
I believe that she is. She was baptized at the Lamington Presbyterian
Church, and married to Matthias Tharp on 25 February 1824 by Rev. Galpin who
was the minister of that church. My notes on Elizabeth state that it is not
proven that she is the daughter of Thomas and Ann Jobs, but I don't know
when the note was made. Since that time I have plowed through the church
records on microfilm. I believe that the probate document for Thomas Jobs
names her as Elizabeth Tharp or Thorp but I'm not certain

I can't answer your questions, but Chambers' book The Early Germans of New
Jersey, reports the transfer of a deed for about 132 acres of land next to the
Lutheran church lot in Potterstown, N.J., from Aree VAN GENEE to Matthias
SCHARFENSTEIN on July 29, 1741.
I am descended from Matthias SCHARFENSTEIN'S daughter, Anna, who married
Conrad PICKLE on April 11, 1751. Do you know which of Matthias' wives was the
mother of Anna?

I have seen a section of the cemetery at the end of Bonnel Stree in
Flemington referred to as the "Case Burying Ground" ... the southwest
corner of the cemetery.
The only CASE who I know is buried there is Johann Philip KAES (1665 - Jan
1756). His stone is marked "JPK 1756".

I have been trying to figure out this Legere, Legear, Lequire, household for
a while. There is a Abraham Williamson married to Margaret Wood in Kingwood
Church. (married April 3, 1800) This Abraham's birth is Nov. 15, 1773. ( day
15 instead of 18?) My theory is that it is the same Abraham. This couple
had 9 children and the first one 1800 and the last one 1818.
The information for this marriage and children is at the Hunterdon County
