Fithian Cousins

Sue Jones — 10 Dec 2000 12:00:00 GMT

Before LEA TIELEMANS (b: 1882, BEL) married HENRY/HARRY "PETE" FITHIAN (b. 1880, NJ), she had an illegitimate son, EDGAR (my grandfather). Edgar (b. Bridgeton, Cumberland Co., NJ, 1899) was sent to live with his Belgian aunt Pauline in Pt. Marion, PA, and never had contact with his mother after that.

"Bush", Joseph Kelly "Trucker Joe", George Hires "Dugger", John F. "Jinx", Jerome G. "Jerry", Robert Bell "Bucky" and Richard V. All of Salem, Bridgeton, Trenton, NJ. Have info to share.

Vineland Churches

william_hackmack — 18 Sep 2008 12:11:33 GMT

Hi,
My great grandmother died in Vineland in 1913. I was wondering what churches were in the area which she may have been buried from. She was a member of a Reformed church in NYC before she moved to Vineland. That was a German Presbyterian church. Maybe there was a similar church around Vineland in those days?
Thank You,

Bill

Cemetery trouble

william_hackmack — 18 Sep 2008 11:58:01 GMT

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has dealt with "Siloam Cemetery" My Great Grandmother is buried there and I wrote to the cemetery twice and asked for the grave location and if there if a grave marker, but I never received a reply. I even sent a self addressed stamped envelope with my request but they must either throw them away or they are piled up on somebodies desk. Has anyone had a similar experience with Siloam. I have dealt with other cemeteries in my family research and all but Siloam has been very helpful.
I would appreciate any ideas in trying to get them to answer my request.
Thank you,

Bill

Telephone directory lookup

william_hackmack — 18 Sep 2008 11:39:05 GMT

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone who has access to telephone or people directories in the 1930's / 1940's could please lookup "Daniel Welsh". I lost track of him after the 1930 census and would like to see if he is listed in later directories. He was a farmer and was last living in Vineland in the 1930 census. It would help me narrow in on when he might have died.
Thank you,

Industry in 1845?

jinscho637 — 6 Aug 2008 3:43:30 GMT

I recently found that an ancestor was living in Cumberland County in 1845, and I am trying to figure out why he was there.

David Davies was a "Master Copper Smelter" from South Wales. He was only in NJ a few years (Greenwich), then settled in Baltimore, where he and other family members were Superintendents of the Canton Copper Works. I have not been able to find reference to a copper industry in the area during that time.

Any assistance greatly appreaciated - Reply on list or jodee.inscho at comcast dot net. Thanks!

Garrison Indian (Native Americans) info

jiggilypuffs — 11 Aug 2008 2:17:01 GMT

I just stumbled across this note:

BIOGRAPHY: Martha Garrison's mother's name was Garretson. The Garretson 's were Lenni Lenapi Indians. They lived in tepees behind the Sheppard ho mstead along the stream.

on this tree on rootsweb:
http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=digs&a...

Maybe the whole confusion was that it was really the Garretsons. Anyway, you'd have to contact the owner of the tree (not me) for more info.

Anyone know where Indian Fields Cemetery is?

doubleDare — 30 Jan 2008 4:30:26 GMT

Does anyone know anyone who has lived for a while in the Indian Fields section of Bridgeton and/or who may know where the cemetery is? I have driven all around the area, can't seem to find it! So I figure it must be overgrown, and I had better find it in the winter, so I can hack my way to it, and photograph it without getting eaten alive!

If you have access to Google Earth, it would be great if you could send me the longitutde and latitude, but I'll take any directions you can give!

If you can help, thankyou, thankyou!

Descendants of Francis Scott Key

dale2248 — 7 Nov 2006 9:31:23 GMT

In Cumberland County, in the area of Millville, NJ there was James Knowls Key, his father,Lawrence Key and his grandfather, David Henderson Key. They likely left NJ in the 1970's. I have reason to believe that they descended from the Key family from Frederick County in Maryland. This would make them related in some way to Francis Scott Key who lived in Maryland from 1780 to 1843.

If there is any one doing research on the Key family I would like to hear from you. There has been much work done on the genealogy of Francis Scott Key but none of it brings us up to our current date. Thanks for anything. Dale Jones

Garrisons of Cumberland Co., NJ & DNA Testing

SaraHoffman505 — 26 Jul 2008 4:14:27 GMT

The Garrisons of Cumberland Co are descendants of Gerrit Jansen Van Oldenburg & his wife Clara Matthys through their son Jacob Gerrits de Haes (Garrison) & his wife Christina Cresson. Since early documentation shows this specific Garrison male line to be of European descent YDNA will not prove Native American ancestry unless there has been a FPE (false paternal event) such as an adoption or an out of wedlock birth by a Native American male who came into the Garrison male line & assumed the Garrison name. If there is Native American blood in the Garrison family & it didn't involve a FPE then it came into the family through a female & is found in mtDNA not YDNA. There are other Garrisons in the USA, some but not all relate to our common ancestor in America Gerrit Jansen Van Oldenburg. According to IDENTIGENE DNA, a site that markets Native American DNA testing, certain DNA markers can show which ones are relatively unique to a specific population & predict inheritance percentages. These markers as reported by this group have the ability to differentiate between major geographic regions such as Native Americans in North & South America. Possibly as the field of genetic genealogy progresses & more DNA testing is done on the Garrisons of Cumberland Co & their related families, we will reach a scientific conclusion for the question, does the Garrisons of Cumberland Co have or don't have Native American ancestry?

Keturah Garrison Langley 1910 Will +E.Harris+Christy+Creamer+Jaggers+Dunham+Zip.Jones+Kigar

D. Langley Solberg — 28 Dec 2001 9:06:47 GMT

The 1910 Will of Keturah Garrison Langley (widow of Rev. Richard Langley) mentions living children George B. and Mary E. (Langley) Christy of Millville; Joel G. of Newfield; Sarah G. (Langley) Haines of Los Angeles; and Mina (Langley) Collins of Camden. It also mentions granddaughters Ella Kigar of Palentine (Palatine?) and Alma Ward of Centerton (daughters of the late Hannah Jane Langley Hitchner); plus granddaughters Stella Newkirk of Centerton and Lillian Duffield of Elmer. Their mother was Rebecca (Langley) Harris, wife of Ephraim.

Keturah lived to be 93, and willed to Willow Grove Methodist Church, what was considered a generous sum in 1910. In 1839 she married Rev. Richard Langley (1815-about 1887) and is buried with him at Willow Grove at an obelisk near the church. Richard and Keturah's son, Joel G., was a long-time Lay Leader at Willow Grove and is also buried there with wife Sarah (Sally) Creamer and many other kin.

Their other son, George B., headed the building committee for Second Methodist in Millville in the 1890s, where his own son E. Lee later became a major donor. To this day, a college scholarship and building renovations fund still flourish there from E.Lee's benevolence. E.Lee is buried at Mount Pleasant's "Washington monument" (which bears no name except Langley) but I have not yet learned where George B. is.

Rev. Richard had founded the Langley Mill in Millville, then passed its management to George. George collaterally developed the popular White Lily Flour, was a partner in a Philadelphia-based corporation, and opened a major feed store in Millville. The names of Richard, George, E.Lee and his sister J. Bertha (Rafftery) are all memorialized on stainglassed windows at Second Methodist.

Rev. Richard Langley was the son of John Langley (1778-1838) and Hannah Jaggers, who married in 1803. Hannah was likely also married before that, because Johnâ€™s Will refers to a daughter of Hannah named Zipporah Jones. According to Willow Grove cemetery records, both a Jaggers child and a Marian or Mariah Dunham are buried near Hannah. Some Richmans (McKendree, Mathias, et al) and Kandles (two Adams, et al) are buried nearby.

Historian C.E. Sheppard indicates that Keturah was the daughter of Arthur Garrison (1779 â€“1868) and Hannah Cornwell, whom he married in 1802. I believe the family was Presbyterian.

Since I saw Hannah Garrison buried next to John Langley, and knew Keturahâ€™s mother was a Hannah, I thought for months that this was Keturahâ€™s mother and Richardâ€™s father, lovingly placed near their respective children. However, at the Gloucester County Historical Society is an 1840 marriage statistic for Hannah Langley and Arthur â€œGarretson.â€ I am certain this should instead read, â€œGarrison,â€ as it says on Hannahâ€™s tombstone. This means that Keturahâ€™s widowed father and Richardâ€™s widowed mother, married late in life. Hannah then lived only until 1847, but according to C.E. Sheppard, Arthur went on to nearly age 90.

ANNA B. HAND OF EWINGS NECK

sonja9 — 8 Jun 2008 12:58:30 GMT

The parents of ANNA B. HAND, b. abt. 1857 in NJ were RICHARD T. & SHERILOTTIE HAND, who resided in Maurice River Township. I am trying to make a connection with the ANNA B. HAND above and the ANNA "ANNIE" BELLE HAND, b. January 1857 in NJ, who married first, abt. 1881,GARNER TULLIS BISHOP, SR. and lived in Philadelphia where they had three children, LAURA E., LESLIE G. & GARNER T. BISHOP, JR. After ANNA "ANNIE" BELLE (HAND)BISHOP was widowed, she married second, abt. 1891, MILTON HAND and lived in West Cape May, Cape May County, NJ with her three children from her first marriage. There was no issue from the second marriage to MILTON HAND. I have not been able to make a connection, so far, with the ANNA B. HAND of Ewings Neck, Maurice River Twsp, Cumberland County, NJ and the ANNA "ANNIE" BELLE HAND, who married GARNER T. BISHOP, SR. & MILTON HAND.

Egg Island Lighthouse

erniem — 8 Jun 2008 6:47:37 GMT

My great-grandfather Aaron Kimmey was a keeper for a short while at Egg Island Lighthouse, which is long gone. He was living there when the 1910 census was taken, as well as his wife and 4 daughters. My aunt related to me that she was told that during the week my great-grandmother and the daughters "lived in town" in a boardinghouse so that the daughters could go to school, as the lighthouse was surrounded by marsh and you couldn't just walk to school from there. Is there anybody with a good knowledge of the area that could make a guess as to what town would've had a school in 1910 that these daughters would've attended? Fortescue? Port Norris? Mauricetown? Thanks.

I recently helped a DuBois descendant still living in Franklin County, IN find his roots in South Jersey.

William DuBois married Sarah Smith Circa 1839 Cumberland, Co?

Judith_62002 — 20 May 2008 2:12:33 GMT

William DuBois was born on 21 June 1813 in New Jersey. He married Sarah Smith circa 1839 possibly in Cumberland County, New Jersey.

Sarah Smith was born on 28 Dec. 1814 in New Jersey.

William and Sarah moved to Franklin County, Indiana shortly after their marriage. They later moved in 1859 to Henry County, Indiana. They had the following children:

* Jennie (Jane) - born 1844 (All children born in Franklin Co. IN)
* Henry - born abt. 1846
* Mary - born abt. 1847
* Charles - born in 1848
* Frank - born in 1851
* Alice - born abt. 1852
* Bascam - born abt. 1854

I would like any information about the marriage of William and Sarah (Smith) DuBois, their parents, and their siblings or any information about their lives in New Jersey.

I'll be happy to exchange information in return.

Many thanks!!
Judith

1917 Cumberland County, NJ Business Directory & 1961 Vineland Centennial

doubleDare — 19 May 2008 3:20:56 GMT

A cousin of mine recently found a copy of a 1917 Cumberland County Business Directory that contains a number of brief biographies of prominent businessmen of that period. She scanned all 100 or so pages and has them available on DVD at theCyberSpot on Landis Ave in Vineland. Also included on the DVD is a 200 page scan of the 1961 Vineland Centennial with pictures and names of most of the people who lived in Vineland in 1961. Many advertisements show pictures of businesses and employees as well. If you do not live near Vineland, you can contact her by email at info@thecyberspot.com There is available either a DVD that is playable on a DVD player, or a DVD with data files on them.

Album full of mid-1800's photos of a Bridgeton, NJ family

BJ Peters — 6 Mar 2006 11:18:25 GMT

I posted this message in the Cumberland County, NJ forum here at Ancestry.com, and am posting my message here as well.

I purchased a lot of about 20 photos that by fashion, etc. seem to be dated about the mid-1800's, and a few a little later. The photos are glued to the thick photo card stock of that time with photos from mainly two or three photo galleries of the Bridgeton area.

I was interested in purchasing the antique album they were in, so I think I can state with certainty that all the photo subjects were related. The antique store I made the buy in is located in Frederica, DE. I may try to return to the antique store and ask the man who owns it if he remembers WHICH estate sale he got them from.

I would really like to find the family descendants and give them the photos, but I do NOT want to just turn them over to someone who buys and sells antique photos. I could do that myself, although I have no idea why someone would want an ancestor photo with no relation to them...what's the point?

I've had to deal with the frustration of having just a few of my ancestor photos being unidentified, but this is so sad because of the number of photos.

If anyone has any ancestral photos that are available for viewing on the internet so I could compare and see if there are any individuals that might be in this collection, please let me know.

I'd also be interested in hearing any suggestions you have for what I might do with these if left unidentified. Is there an historical society for Bridgeton that you know of?

Katherine SCHUCK Stadler

LeezilAnne1 — 21 Mar 2008 1:40:22 GMT

I am looking for information on Katherine SCHUCK Stadler. She was my Grandfather's first wife. I found the following news article from the Wellsboro Agitater dated Wednesday, May 1, 1907...

DEATH: Mr. Albert Stadler was called to Millvale, N.J. last Wednesday to attend the funeral of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Herman Stadler of Kane, McKean County, who was poisoned by a nurse Sunday, April 21st. The nurse administratered to her patient a large dose of carbolic acid by mistake and Mrs. Stadler, who had given birth to a child a short time ago, was in so weakened a condition that nothing could be done to save her life, although everything known to medical skill was done for her. Her husband and three children survive her. Mrs. Stadler was 30 years of age.

During the funeral services a high wind arose and blew down a large brick smoke stack on a factory in Millvale, killing three girls. The mother of one of the victems was in attendance at the Stadler funeral at the time.

The 3 children she left behind were: Herman Stadler Jr., Claire and the infant she had just given birth to, Katherine.

My Grandfather, Herman, then married Anna Mary GRAY of Bridgeton. She was the daughter of Thomas and Anna (Nee RAPP) GRAY.

Wm. Langley 1809-79+Christian+DuBois+Blew+Carlisle+Robinson

Dolores Langley Solberg — 28 Dec 2001 5:51:53 GMT

The 1879 Will of William Langley of Ewings Neck (now Delmont) was filed by his second wife Sarah Christian at Cumberland Orphans Court. His first wife was Jemima Robinson. The Will mentions sons Charles and Lehman (aka Leaming?) Langley of Phila. He also mentioned grandsons C. Orem (?) DuBois and David DuBois of Bridgeton; grandson Henry of Millville; plus the children of his late daughter Sarah B. (Blew) Langley Carlisle. Sarah's children were Mary H.; William; Elizabeth Henderson; and George M., all of Cumb. County. The Will was signed with an X. William, both wives and one teenage dau. are buried at Eldora, and we know he had other children that must have died before 1879. But, WHO WAS WILLIAM? Make my day by coming forth with his parents' or sibling names, or where they went to church, etc.!

I have access to GenealogyBank, if anyone would like me to look up an obit from approx 1980 to current; please email me and I will send you what I find out.

I will need the name, DOD and location. The reason I need a DOD is because when I first started using the service, sometimes the first name isn't included.

Depending upon the number of requests, please give me a few days to respond.

At a later date, I will be able to offer the same for the late 1800's to the early 1900's.

Craig Cumberland Data Requests: 1747-1800

DelawareDolores — 30 Dec 2007 7:51:24 GMT

As a holiday greeting, I offered look-ups from Cumberland County NJ Genealogical Data (records pertaining to persons residing in Cumberland County Prior to 1800) compiled by H. Stanley Craig. Since Cumberland was formed from part of Salem County in 1747, Craig’s abstracts cover 1747 to
1800 only; for years before 1747, readers need a Salem County source. Craig also noted that data from Wills was only from 1780 on back.

I’ve alphabetized requests, and am posting them on line so both the requestor and potentially interested others can see results. Where many entries were found for a surname, I’d appreciate your refining by first name or years, or posting so others can also help. This is a very limited

Heisler Silvers second wife

jstrez7 — 12 Dec 2007 12:23:26 GMT

I am looking for the name of my greatgrandfathers second wife. Heisler Silvers was first married to Isabel Kell, both were from Millville,N.J. When she died [ sometime between the 1920 and 1930 census] he later[ after 1930] married a woman whose first name was Roberta.Since my mom was very young when she knew them[ they died when she was very young] she does not know what roberta's maiden name was or if she had any family, and what ever happened to her. My aunt is named after her because my grandmom always said she treated her very well- as if she were her own daughter. Can any one out there help me find out who she was????

Mt. Pleasant Tombstones vs. Actual Burial Records

DelawareDolores — 4 Dec 2007 6:14:15 GMT

Kathy wrote (under the Holly Beach title) --

"> George, > How are you transcribing Mount Pleasant Cemetery? I asked Reeves if there was a way to get to his records and he told me no, they are in his basement. Are you just going by the stones or the actual records? "
-----

Yes, I'm curious about that, too! Obviously the Reeveses have complete lot purchase and burial records from 1865 forward, or would be accidentally burying one on top of the other!

Charles Hartman made a huge map of tombstone locations and wording (in the 1980s, maybe?). This gem is owned by the Millville Historical Society, and has a dependable Index. Naturally, that project didn't account for those with stolen or unreadable stones, or who never had them in the first place.

The Society also has Mount Pleasant burial record books, but I don't know if these match what the Cemetery Association has. If they are not complete copies, then careful digital photos should be made immediately and housed at the MHS or CCHS for research use; it makes me nervous to think that the ONLY copy of something that precious is in some basement!

Millville cemetery vandalism & a Vineland inventory

DelawareDolores — 24 Nov 2007 7:28:14 GMT

Since Rootsweb still confuses us by having BOTH a Board and List for Cumberland County, I am posting this on the Board (which "gateways" to the List, but not vice-versa.)

Be sure to go to the NJ-Cumberland List and read Barbara's post about the major vandalism at Mt. Pleasant cemetary in Millville. I have more ancestors in those grounds than any other three cemeteries combined, but would still be BOILING MAD, regardless of where this happened!

What disturbs me most is that police reported that some stones that either cracked apart or snapped off at ground level may be beyond repair.

And, since the old iron gate can no longer be closed, does anyone know of a glorified motion detector that could be added at the entrance? A sign could then warn pedestrians to be out before dark, much as is done at Shalom in Vineland.

Those who stroll, bicycle or jog there by day are actually a form of security for this large, hilly cemetery, but there is NO excuse EVER, for anyone to be in any cem. after dark! There should be a fine for that, if a sign at all entrances says "no trespassing after dusk."

If anyone is nearby, PLEASE go photograph the broken stones before staff or police potentially forget which goes where. (Such mix-ups happened at Willow Grove and Malaga cemeteries, I learned from the late Rev. Vaughn of the Malaga Campgrounds.)

--------------------------------------------------
On a more pleasant note, I read on my "Daily Upload" that Keith Allen has apparently updated his inventory of tombstones at Vineland's Oak Hill:

http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nj/cumberland/cemeterie...

Now, THERE's a tireless genealogy volunteer -- one of the record-holders for stone-copying nationwide.
