Hi there! I think we have relations in common - my Catherine Hoff's father was Gabriel Hoff, married to a Chamberlain. Catherine married John Forker, whose daughter married George W. Abel. Their daughter, Mary, married Jesse Henry Dellicker in Wisconsin.

Let me know your connection!

The Hunterdon Gazette was started in 1825, but if you Google "The Jerseyman" a site comes up with a complete copy of The Jerseyman dated 1735.
I hope this helps. Good Luck.

According to William H. Anderson's 1924 death certificate his father's name was William Anderson. William Henry was born 10/10/1857 in Charleston, NJ. (This is a very small settlement in Hunterdon Co.) No mother's name was given on DC.

I think there are about 5 readers. I can't remember if I went on a weekend or weekday, but I was the first one there in the morning. I think maybe two or three people came in later, so there was no issue with getting a reader. I stayed on there until mid-afternoon. I didn't see anything about a time limit, I think it is just first come first serve...

Jeff,

Thanks for the info on the library. I plan to spend 3 full days there so hopefully I get through the 300 obits I have listed as available. Did you have any problem in getting time on the microfilm readers? Is there a limit on the amount of time you can use them or is it on a first come basis?

My main family line is primarily from Hunterdon County but I have extended lines throughout NJ and beyond.

Dennis

Re: Easton Library

hansmansgarage — 2009-09-02 15:32:29Z

I was up there last year. If I remember correctly, it is just newspapers on microfilm. You'll have to search through the papers to find the obit, so be sure to bring the page number that is provided on the index.

Be sure to check both obits if the person's name is listed twice, but a couple of days apart. Sometimes it is just the little blurb that says "Died-Sutton, at ___, age 43" or something but the other may have more info.

I don't think you can save the info to a memory stick or anything. You have to print them out or write them down. To print, you need to get a card that you put credit on using a machine, so be sure to bring some cash...I forget how much a copy is...maybe 15 or 25 cents.

Hope this helps.

A second Newton, Newton Laubenstine, was my man, also from Hunterdon county. Father John, mother Sarah Johnson, sister Victoria, right birth date . . every thing fits this time.

Re: Col. John Taylor-4th Hunterdon

tftaylor167 — 2009-04-06 08:05:58Z

Ron,

Thanks for bumping my memory. I had forgotten that the Steuben Historian had claimed the three sons you mention. It seems however that he has forgotten to include Nathaniel and Catharine, two of the older children.

Lydia we know nothing about {other than a historian in 1895 claims she exists but offers no proof}.

Catharine is the daughter that married William Boyd, who was a Presbyterian minister.

Dugald Cameron was an agent for the Pultney family of Bath England. Dugald was a Scot overseer, charged with the responsibility of selling the Pultney lands here in America. He did marry Elizabeth and had children.

Col. John Taylor was commissioned a Captain when the 4th Hunterdon was raised in 1775, promoted to Major 1776, Lt. Col Feb 1777, and Col in May of 1777, all within the 4th Hunterdon. In 1779 he was given a 3 month TDY (Sept 26 to Dec 29) as CO of a regiment of combined Hunterdon/Burlington Militia unit elements called up for 3 months of State duties.

He saw action in several campaigns and battles throughout the War beginning in the first battle of Trenton and continuing throughout the war. In the winter/spring of 1792/3 he was promoted to Brigadier General and given command of the Hunterdon Brigade, which at the same time was realigned to comprise 3 regiments of foot, and elements of Light Horse.

The Sandusky Expedition was made by units of Pennsylvania and Virginia Militia, no record of any NJ units being involved.

His wife was alive in 1784 as near as we can tell because that was the year George Washington was born, and that would have been one year after the close of hostilities. Further more John and Isaac were renting pews in 1797, and left the Church probably in April of 1797 at the same time as Gen. Taylor. Gen Taylor arrives in NY in 1797 according to the history of the time, and his obit. states he died in 1811. If he was 97 that would have made him born in 1714 which would have made him about 70 years old at the time of the end of the Revolution and 78 when he was promoted to General which was an active position. Furthermore he was a Freeholder for Hunterdon County and a Trustee of his church in the same timeframe {in NJ}. He would have been 83 at the time of his move to NY.

Circa 1800 John married Mary Miller Lindsley widow of Lt. Col. Eleazer Lindsley and lived with her in Lindley until her death in 1806. Our family history says he was 90 when he died but we have no record yet that would establish a date of birth, or place of birth. 'If' he had three sons that went west, I would submit that the term 'lost' may refer to contact rather than loss of life.

The only saving grace on this historians information is that we have been able in the last week to confirm with a high probability the existence of a son John, and the possibility of more based on the gap of about 13 years between the birth of Nathaniel Ker Taylor and Elizabeth Ann Taylor. That would allow for another 3 children, so if we include John and Isaac that leaves room for one more so where do we put the other two out of the remaining three, James, Joseph, and Lydia? Catharine was born in 1766 and Col John and Lydia could have been married as early as 1760 which would leave room for those other two, but why no mention of them to be found?

You do have 12 children for George and Christina, correct.

The Historian may have put the note in the Hammondsport Wine folder because in the book "Dolphs and DeWolffs, the author states that Col. Taylor moved from Hammondsport to Lindley when he married the widow Lindsley. That is most likely incorrect, although Wheeler is close to Hammondsport. Actually, Col John was building a house outside of Bath and left it partially finished hence the name Halfway house, the local designation for the house being not yet completed when he moved to Lindley.

We have absolutely no proof of his parentage, any marriages except to Lydia Ker or location of birth/death except the obit which states probably in Bath, which would make me wonder if the 1895 Historian was given incorrect facts as to the place of his birth. We have three different stories from three different ancestors as to the country of origin/birth. One says England, one says Scotland, and one says New Jersey to parents that fled either England or Scotland.

If you Google 'Col John Taylor' you will find our website which discusses in more depth the details we have found and some other John Taylors that were in existence during his life in New Jersey. This site still has lots to be added to it, and that was before we went to Hunterdon last week and found a boatload more material to digest and get posted.

Let me know how this fits with your knowledge of Col John, and your timeframe. When does your Joseph fit in the timeline?

I appreciate your posts, if you would like a photograph of the painting of Elizabeth Ann (Taylor) Cameron, I can arrange to send it to you, and Dugald as well if you like. Actually we could post it up on the website so you could download it from there. http://sites.google.com/site/coljohntaylor/
If you subscribe to the site, you will be automatically notified each time a new item is posted or changes are made, and believe me, after this trip, there will be a lot of changes/additions. Please feel free to contact me directly.

Re: Col. John Taylor-4th Hunterdon

tftaylor167 — 2009-04-05 22:25:17Z

Very Well,

I do not have info about a Joseph, we just developed strong information about a young John. This gives us known children of Catharine, Nathaniel, Lydia (only one source and is suspect without other positive evidence), John, possibly an Isaac, Elizabeth, and George Washington. We have all the children of Geo. Washington identified.

Where did you find evidence of a Joseph?

Re: Col. John Taylor-4th Hunterdon

tftaylor167 — 2009-04-05 16:33:43Z

Ron,

Hope this finds you well. Just finished a week in Hunterdon. Developed new leads. Including two more heretofore unkown John Taylors from Hunterdon. Well actually one new one and a confirmation/realignment on one or two others depending on how you count them.

Pretty sure that one of them goes north to Ontario County at the same time that Col John goes north to Steuben. Maybe a son we suspected but couldn't prove, now we are about 90% certainty. Makes sense now that I think about the DAR records.

Anyway would like to recheck info with you if this is of interest to you.

I am searching for any information on the surname Minney in the Round Valley area of Hunterdon.

John and Mary Minney supposedly died about 1844-1845. They may be buried in Morris county just north of the Hunterdon County border. They had two children - Mary Emily and Charles. It is believed Mary Emily married a Mr. Huffman.
Charles was only 13 at the time of his parents death. It is believed he worked to put himself through private school- possibly in High Bridge.

I would appreciate any leads or suggestions.

rgtaylor02 — 2009-04-06 00:05:21Z

I understand that you have (& so do I) all the children of George Washington Taylor. I have ruled out any decendency from Geo Washington Taylor in my case.
I have been interested in knowing of the son John, James & Joseph mentioned in the Bath NY paper I sent in previous message.
Elizabeth married Dougald Cameron, well known land baron in Bath area.
Since my GGGrandfather Joseph W Taylor was born a few miles south of Bath, it seemed easy to want this line to connect for me. He was born March 31, 1824 so would probably be 2 or 3 generations below Col John Taylor, if connected.
Problem is, I have never been able to prove that Joseph, James or John (sons of Col John) were ever in Steuben County or NY State.
I attach a very poor copy of a photo from the Bath folder marked "Taylor", of Elizabeth Taylor Cameron.

Re: Col. John Taylor-4th Hunterdon

rgtaylor02 — 2009-04-05 23:44:55Z

In the files of the Steuben County Historian, Bath NY; A handwritten paper that I found in folder and the 80+ year-old archivist identified the handwriting as a deceased past County Historian.
The paper identifies the children known of Col John Taylor as sons-John, James, Joseph & George Washington & daus Lydia & Elizabeth.
I attach a copy for you.

Re: Col. John Taylor-4th Hunterdon

rgtaylor02 — 2009-04-05 20:18:12Z

Tim,
Yes, this info is still of interest to me, although I am still not proven into the line.
Based on the hand-written sheet at Steuben County Historian's Office I am betting my cards my lineage descends from one of the sons of this Col John Taylor, Joseph or John. I have proven son, George Washington Taylor, is not of my descendency.
I appreciate hearing from you as new info develops.

I am a descendant of Henry Matthews and Rosannah Woolverton, and am trying to figure out the link to my grandmother, Mary Matthews. I know that Henry fought in the American Revolution. Did you ever find any information about who Henry's parents are?

Hello there.

The majority of my line I located in the Opdycke-Updike Book: http://www.heritagepursuit.com/OpDyck/OpDyckIndex.htm

The family that is from Hunterdon NJ area is on pages 136-235.

Not sure if you've gotten that far back on your tree yet.

Let me know if that helps.

Judy,

I haven't worked on the family tree for many years but am very interested in this side of my family.I have my grandmother Bertha's death certificate and that is the only info I have been able to find.Nothing on her parents,siblings,heritage,no pictures..nothing so I became very discouraged.Anything you could share with me about the family would be appreciated.
