Van Eman/Vaniman Family

demohney — 6 Sep 2002 12:07:14 GMT

Hi. I'm looking for researchers of any of the listed surname variants. I am gathering info on this family and trying to connect various lines. I'd appreciate any information you would care to share. I have a large database on my own Van Eman line which moved to Maryland and then to Washington and Lawrence County PA. I believe this line was connected to the family in Salem County, But have not yet made the connection. I also have some info on the New Jersey lines. Will gladly search my database and exchange info.

Civil War Tombstone markers

kathlingram — 23 Feb 2008 5:31:10 GMT

MY Great Great Grandfather James Sweeney who is born in Ireland and dies in Quinton NJ in 1878 has an emblem on his gravestone as well as a very tall stone .

There is no military data on his stone but the emblem is the same as those of my other ancestors who DID serve.

A researcher I know suggests that maybe he was in a support staff? Musician?

There are other stones that are similar in the Cemetery which is St.Mary's in Salem City.

I am wanting to find out more about this Rachel Smith of Salem, New Jersey. I believe that this "Smith" is of importance because her children and grandchildren carry the Smith as a middle name. Her son was John Smith Hillman who was born in Philadelphia. Her husband was Oliver Smith of Cumberland County, NJ, here is the marriage record information from Ancestry, can anyone help? I am curious to know the names of her parents if it is at all possible, and why the Smith is important. Thank you.

New Jersey Marriages, 1684-1895
about RACHEL SMITH
Name: OLIVER HILLMAN
Spouse: RACHEL SMITH
Marriage Date: 22 Jul 1807
County: Salem
State: NJ

In the County Clerk record book it lists Hillman, Oliver, of Cumberland County and Rachel Smith 7-22-1807.

DebbieDilksOrner — 21 Apr 2008 6:29:09 GMT

Hello everyone!
I am just starting to research the LATHAM, TOULSON, WILLIS, BOOS, & another DILKS family.
LATHAM’S
Harold LATHAM married Betha__________________
And had the following children
1. Marion who fist married, Harry David DILKS, 2nd John MATZ, 3rd Glenn MCCROW, she had 6 children with Harry
2. Leatrice Mae who had one daughter out of wedlock, then married Albert WILLIS, they had 3 children, a daughter Bonnie Jean died as an infant. Lee was born about 1940 and died Nov. 10, 2007
3. Betty who married John “Jack” BOOS, Sr. they have 5 children, 4 daughters and a son
4. James “spike” who married Linda ______________ and they had twin boys; James was born in NJ and died in AR in early 2008.
5. Harold “Bunny” Latham, never married
6. Charles no other info at this time
Now either Bertha was a ROBINSON and had her first child out of wedlock, divorced, or Harold died, for the last child was born 7. Kay ROBINSON, and she married Nathan Robert TOULSON, Sr. or Jr. Nathan Robert’s father was also a Nathan but at this time unclear as to his middle name!

Now I know from “Lee’s” obit, she was born in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey, USA, and I believe Bertha lived in Trenton until the early 1970’s. The kids had married and all moved to Salem County, New Jersey. Now James moved around quit a-bit. Two known places were TX and AR. And AR is where he passed away within the past few months.

TOULSON’S

4. Charles TOULSON married _________________________________
5. Mary Lou TOULSON married___________________________________
6. Louis “Buddy” TOULSON married ______________________________
7. Theodore “Teddy” TOULSON married ____________________________
8. William “Billy” TOULSON married _______________________________
9. Margaret TOULSON married _____________________________________
10. Susan TOULSON married? 1 daughter, Sue died young in her 20’s of cancer

DILKS
William Franklin Dilks, Sr. July 25, 1895 Williamstown, NJ died about 1965, married about 1919 to Katherine COLEMAN born about 1905 in? And died Dec. 7, 1957 in Salem, Salem County, NJ. Their known children
1. William Franklin DILKS, Jr. Abt. 1920 NJ, mar. Sarah _____________________
2. Raymond Franklin DILKS abt. 1922 NJ, mar. Doris _______________________
3. Kenneth DILKS abt. 1924, NJ mar. _____________________________________
4. Leroy DILKS, Sr. abt. 1927, mar. Mary (Mary & Sarah were sisters) __________
5. Harry David DILKS, Sr. (mention above)
6. Vernon Robert DILKS, Sr. ABT. 1936, married Carolyn BOWEN

Very interested in filling in the blanks and sharing data with anyone researching the same names and family lines. I mentioned up top, I just started researching theses lines, but however have been doing research for 20+ years. Please reply to post or e-mail me directly at debbieo2@verizon.net or debbieldo58@yahoo.com Thanking all in advance,

Clayton Atkinson & Abigail Antrim of New Jersey

cami734 — 5 Jan 2008 1:48:49 GMT

I found Clayton and Abigail Antrim Atkinson (of Salem, NJ)on the LDS website but can't find any more info on either one of them. Does anyone have them in their tree?

The only thing I know is that they possibly had the following three children:
John Atkinson b. abt 1820 New Jersey
Joshua Atkinson b. abt 1823 New Jersey
Benajah Atkinson b. abt 1825/1826 New Jersey

Abigail Antrim (1801-1861) is the daughter of Benajah Antrim & Bernice Unknown. Clayton (1797-1828) is the son of John Atkinson & Mary Unknown.

Their son, Benajah, might possibly be part of my family. My family has been at a brick wall for many years on who my Benajah's parents are. I can make no connections to the New Jersey Atkinson's.

Rhoda DuBois (nee VanMeter) 1803-1872

doubleDare — 8 Aug 2007 8:44:26 GMT

Looking for ancestral info on Rhoda VanMeter Dubois (1803-1872) born to William VanMeter and Mary Nicholas of Salem County, New Jersey. She married Solomon DuBois, Jr. 1802-1877 also of Salem County, and together they emigrated to Franklin County, Indiana.

Anyone show her in your resources?
We have the DuBois side linked, but can't seem to figure out which VanMeter family William belongs to! (sorry, no birth date on him.) She is the grandmother to most DuBois and Dares in Indiana.

Thanks!

Sawtell/Hart family Pilesgrove, NJ

Tom Mead — 14 Jan 2002 4:58:44 GMT

In about 1715, Zachariah Sawtell moved to Chohansy, NJ from Groton, MA for reasons unknown. I suspect it had to do with forming a new church, but cannot prove. He had a daughter Abigail born in 1722 who later married John Elwell of Pilesgrove. I am trying to establish that another daughter named Susanna b 1724/5 married a man named Hart(t) in the same general area of Salem Co, NJ. My wife's gggg grandfather Zachariah Hart(t) was born in Pilesgrove in 1749, as was a brother Jonathan in 1758.

Also my gggg grandfather Samuel Mead died in Pittsgrove, NJ in abt 1787.

All leads welcome.

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.

Looking for George & Viola Thompson family Bible

Louise3933 — 24 Aug 2007 2:37:25 GMT

Am researching the early Thompson families of Salem,
NJ area. My grandmother, Eva Thompson Heckenhorn, gave our
Thompson Bible to the last, living relative with the Thompson name, around 1950, or so. That person was a George
R (possibly Rupert for his father) Thompson, who was married to a Viola M Thompson, with children Robert T., Wm. R., and Viola E. If anyone out there knows where these kids
are, or their families, I'd love copies of those written
pages in the front of the Bible. George and Viola lived in
Laurel Springs, Camden Co. years ago. Louise K. Martin

Alliance, NJ area-- 1890--1882

nj55turtle1 — 26 May 2007 1:22:26 GMT

My great grandmother died on Jan. 1, 1892. Her name was Sara PICKHOLTZ. She is buried at the Alliance cemetery, in Pittsgrove, NJ.

The Pittsgrove grovement informed me that all of their death records are missing from that period. Salem County can't help me since I don't know where she died. Likewise the State Archives office has not been of any help for the same reason.

I know the last name in other records has been spelled with a T, D, R insteadof the P for Pickholtz and in some cases the "T" has been left out. Other variations of the name have been Pikholtz and Pichols.

What I also know is her husband's name was Bernard Pickholtz and her maiden name was BERNSTEIN and they arrived in the USA in 1890. Also there was a scarlet fever out break durning this time period.

I would like to know what town she lived in, where she died and what she died of.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Salem marriage 1892--1900

nj55turtle1 — 26 May 2007 1:33:01 GMT

I am searching for a marriage record that I think took place in Salem County, sometime between 1892 and 1900.

This would be for my great grand father Bernard PICKHOLTZ and a Bluma BERNSTEIN.

I don't know where it took place or when. That is the problem. I do know they both arrived in the USA in 1890, and the marriage definatly took place after Jan. 1, 1892 and no later than 1900. The last know area of residence for both people was around the Pittsgrove area (I think). After 1900 they are listed as married and living in Phila according to the census. Phila. records have been searched for this time period.

Thank you.

I know he was in Salem County, from 1857-1861, but I can't locate his family in the 1860 census at all.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
