Re: Date of death and or burial place Aaron M. Allen

Val, thanks for the reply. I checked the courthouse, nothing, no cemetery record, HS in Millville had nothing either. They also called the Lummis Museuum in Greenwich, Ditto, nothing! This guy seems to have slipped off the face of the earth. If locals don't have info do you think the State Archieves is worth a shot?

I believe that the Cumberland Co Historical Society in Greenwich NJ has these books, but doubt if there are any electronic versions available. I only have snippets of the originals. I also checked in my database for Benjamin Crosier without success. I do have other Crozier: Rebecca, Enoch Lanning, Enoch W., Robert, and William. Let me know if these can help your research.

My name is Sharon Cosier Schwartz. I live in Raleigh NC. Do you know if there are any electronic copies of the book? also how far back does the book go? I am trying to find out more on Benjamin Cosier. I do have some of the Sheppard Joslin letters but I just found out about the book.

Thank you for any information

Have you checked with the courthouse? I know Salem keeps a register of Veteran's graves. You might also try to get an obit via the Cumberland HS in Millville. Also the cemetery office for Overlook, since the rest of the family is there. He may not have had a stone or his marker may have been vandalized.

Good luck.

Date of death and or burial place Aaron M. Allen

p_damask — 2013-05-06 20:09:47Z

I need some help on finding the death date and or burial place of an Aaron M. Allen, B 1833 in Appoquinimink Delaware to Jeremiah and Francis Ann (turner)Allen. He is my great grandmothers brother, served in the Civil War as a Union private, and lived most of his adult life in the Deerfield, Bridgeton, NJ area, I have found his entire family buried in Overlook Cemetery in Bridgeton, NJ but absolutely no trace of him. In the 1899 Bridgeton City directory his wife Mary is listed as a widow, so he died somewhere after 1880 (found living in Bridgeton in Fed. Census) and before 1899. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

This thread is mind-blowing! My father is Allan Sutton the great grand-son of Theodore Y. Sutton (Sr.). It appears that the first Theo. did not financially support his wife and children and eventually divorced her, if the story of Lulu/ Lucy Sutton (Mattson) is accurate. His son, Theodore (Jr.) was my dad's grandfather. He too deserted his wife and two children, the son was "farmed" out to work and the girl was put up for adoption. The son, William, married my grandmother and then divorced her in the 1960's and effectively abandoned his two children (my dad and uncle). It seems to me that three generations of Sutton men showed the same pattern! I am sure they were good men and the circumstances were extenuating, but...sad and mind-blowing at the same time.

Re: YOUNG-JOHNSON

jiggilypuffs — 2013-04-09 23:16:16Z

This family appears to be from Georgia. I saw in the 1920 census that daughter Ada was born in NJ. Cora, Lilla, and Dennis were born in Georgia. It is likely that Carlton and Wilhelmina Young married in Georgia. You can go to the NJ State Archives in Trenton, NJ, and get a copy in person (or hire someone to do that) of Ada Young's birth certificate. It should list her mother's maiden name.

Good luck!

niesha_johnson_fenner — 2013-04-05 18:22:53Z

Does anyone have any information on the Young Family? I know my GGM Lila was Native American, her husband was Jack Johnson (father to Leander Johnson, my GF). I am stuck on her mother Wilhelmina and she seems to have not existed before the 1920 Census. She was born in 1896, but I do not know her maiden name and cannot seem to cross match her at the ages she would have been on the 1900 and 1910 Census.

Hi John,
Just ran across your post on Pete Sapienza. My mother's family is DelCollo and there are still relatives that I can put you in contact with that were part of his past. It was quite confusing as I recall hearing the story and others closer to his branch of my family will know more. Please let me know if I can help. Within our family, he was married to Mamie Melchiorre DelCollo and she and Pete ran the restaurant in Cedarville. I was young, but I remember the restaurant. Bob Marsh - rim1112@aol.com

Hi Mary,
Just saw you reply to the old post by my niece from back in 2001. Not sure she is still on Ancestry, but I will step in to the conversation. Not sure I follow who you re referring to by Angie and Mary or Jean and Kathleen, as we don't have those names nor was there anyone on Maple street ion Bridgeton as far back as I can remember, although the name Mary Rhodes does ring a bell. Perhaps you can expand on your relationship to the family. I am Frank Delacour's grandson.

Re: Flowers buried in Mt. Pleasant cemetery Millville NJ

The two Flowers names you asked about are not within the records of Mt. Pleasant. There are several Flowers burials within the cemetery. In addition I see at least three occasions where a Flowers was involved in lot purchases.

Contact me, let me know who you have an interest in and I'll try to help you. George VMO6@aol.com

LaMantia marriage in the 1920s

gavin6942 — 2013-03-04 16:11:48Z

I am looking for a marriage record for a man named Eugene Angelo LaMantia (also known as Pete LaMantia), who was married in Vineland at some point in the 1920s. Apparently he was married by justice of the peace and his witness was a police captain named Jim.

I don't need the actual record, but any info would be helpful -- the date, the bride, parents' names, the witnesses, the justice of peace's name... I wish I knew more than I do.

Re: Descendants of Francis Scott Key

jmyoung365 — 2013-02-25 03:02:13Z

Descendants are those who are the issue of an individual, such as children, grandchildren, and their children, to the remotest degree.

...there is no such thing as a descendant by marriage. Either a person descends (by blood) from a common ancestor or they don't.

A person can be related to someone by marriage (a legal relationship) but they cannot be a "descendant" by marriage only.

Joan

Re: Descendants of Francis Scott Key

wahammill — 2013-02-25 02:45:40Z

Only the SPOUSE is a "descendant by marriage" ... unless it also means the (blood) family of the spouse.

Re: Descendants of Francis Scott Key

wahammill — 2013-02-25 02:23:51Z

Yes:

1. Jessie Key 1864-?
2. Alonzo R Key 1869-
3. James Key 1872-
4. Robert C Key 1873-1873
5. William Augustus Key 1875-1969
6. Augustus Key 1875-
7. Eugene Key 1878-1906
8. Linford Key 1884-1923 (MY grandfather)

Re: Descendants of Francis Scott Key

jmyoung365 — 2013-02-22 23:44:51Z

Then if Eugene KEY is your birth father you are NOT a descendant by marriage...you are a blood descendant. There is no such thing as a 'descendant by marriage' unless you are talking about a "step" child relationship or an adoption--in which case you'd be a LEGAL descendant but not a blood descendant.

Joan

Re: Descendants of Francis Scott Key

wahammill — 2013-02-22 16:19:34Z

To be a 'descendant by marriage':

My mother, an Abrahall from Belfast, Ireland, married my father - Eugene Key. Together they had 5 little Keys. My mother had no "Key" blood but her 5 children do, and we also share my mother's Abrahall blood.

My father was a "Key" for 60 (short) years but my mother was a "Key" for 67 years.

Could you explain what you mean by "descendants by marriage?" That statement appears to be an oxymoron in that if the only connection is through marriage there is no blood connection...unless I'm misreading your statement.

Joan

Re: Descendants of Francis Scott Key

bjphillips02 — 2013-02-01 17:57:08Z

It was told throughout my family that we were sixth-generation descendants from Francis Scot Key by marriage. Perhaps you can help confirm or not. It goes this way: A Key married into the Reed family (not sure whether maternal/paternal) that was in the Donner Party wagon train tragedy. Virginia Reed, a survivor of the ordeal, is related to my grandmother's family. Do you know if a Key married a Reed?

Re: James W. Ford & Family of Bridgeton, NJ

khperago — 2013-01-27 04:44:35Z

Found James W Ford in the 1940 NJ Census, living with his daughter in Bridgeton, Cumberland Co, NJ. He was a widower by 1940. His daughter, Elizabeth, was married to a William E Carson and they had a son William E Jr, who was born about 1932.

Looking at the SSN death index: Elizabeth F Carson, was born 05/09/1905 and died 04/2/1988 in Ocean City, Cape May Co, NJ; William E Carson Sr, was born 01/15/1899 and died 02/15/1998 in Ocean City, Cape May Co, NJ. In the Atlantic Press obituary for William E Carson Sr, he has no survivors, his wife and son having pre-deceased him; William Carson is stated as being buried at Overlook Cemetery in Bridgeton, NJ. Not sure if William E Carson Jr was married and had a family or died as a child?

Did not find any information regarding James W Ford's or his wife, Elizabeth Bacon Ford's deaths, but looking at Overlook Cemetery in Bridgeton, NJ may be a start. The cemetery office's address I believe is: 2 Glenview Terrace, Bridgeton, NJ 08302.

James W Ford was born approximately 1864 in Smyrna, Delaware and would have died after 1940 sometime; a son of Owen J Ford and Mary Elizabeth Harten Ford. His wife, Elizabeth Bacon Ford, was born approximately 1870 near Salem, Salem Co, NJ and would have died in Bridgeton sometime between 1930 and 1940; she was a daughter of Smith Bacon and his wife Elizabeth Freas Bacon.

Any assistance that may be given regarding any additional data on this family would be greatly appreciated.

You can also check with the local Lenni-Lenape tribe for records they might have.

Lehmann, Lehman, Dreyer

lavlav — 2013-01-06 20:42:30Z

Leo Lehmann and his wife Lena (Magdalene Dreyer or Madeleine Dreyer or Margarette Dreyer) and their 6 children (born 1860 to 1876) lived in Bridgeton NJ in the 1880 census, 41 Cohansey St. Later they lived at 296 N Pearl St in Bridgeton NJ. Their 6 children were: Charles Lehmann, Rose Lehmann, Mary Lehmann, Caroline Lehmann, Frank Lehmann, Kate Lehmann.

Lena Dreyer was born in Lutzelbourg, Lorraine, France in 1835 and was German culturally. Her parents were Antoine Dreyer and Catherine (Berger) Dreyer. Her father (and probably her mother) emigrated to New Jersey sometime around 1853 and lived with their son Daniel Dreyer and his wife Gertrude Pfeiffer in Millville NJ. Another sister Caroline Dreyer also lived in Millville for a time before marrying Caspar Smith and moving to Pittsburgh, Indiana, and St Louis. Other Dreyer siblings settled in the Philadelphia area: Amand Dreyer, Antoine Dreyer II, Charles Dreyer, Rosalie Dreyer (married John Datesman).

Re: Reuben Doughty b. Jan 1818 Died 1903 in Cumberland Co.

geomillard — 2012-12-06 21:26:08Z

Appears Reuben & Margaet are both buried at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Millville. Reuben died 8-24-1903 at the age of 85Y - 7M; d. Millville. Margaret d. 8-30-1902 at Royersford, PA., record gives age as 79Y.

The above is from the Mt. Pleasant Sexton log. The bad part, there is no location of burial given and appears to be no grave marker. The name Doughty is a common name found throughout the cemetery.

You might consider tracking some of the older Doughty names within the cemetery and see if a Reuben appears as a son. Hope this helps
