Have you seen this?

http://www.archive.org/stream/newbrunswickduri00wall/newbrun...

On the 15th of April, 1812, a requi-
sition was made by the United States
Government upon this State for 5.000
men, who were furnished and nlaced
under Major-General Ludlow. The
New Jersey Legislature on November
9, 1812, passed resolutions deprecating
the war. On November 10 a general
order was issued reauiring all com-
panies, whether of cavalry, artillery,
light infantry or riflemen to hold them-
selves in readiness to take the field in
twenty-four hours' notice. The com-
panies in this city made all necessary
preparations. On December 10, 1812,
the following notice was issued to the
members of the artillery company:

ATTENTION— THE WHOLE

"The undersigned, a committee ap-
poited by the Artillery Company of
the city of New Brunswick, for^ the
purpose of procuring knapsacks, give
notice to their brother-soldiers of said
company that they are procured, hand-
somely painted, and are now ready for
delivery at the store of Amos Flagg,
one of the committee. From the mili-
tary ardor and zeal at all times dis-
played by the members of this com-*
pany, the committee feels a satisfac-
tion in being thus able so promptly to
meet their wishes, by placing them in
a state of readiness to answer with
alacrity such call as may be made upon
them by our worthy Chief.

That is them! They were in the Mohawk Valley (Mohawk Twp., Montgomery Co.) after the Rev. War. Thanks for looking them up.

I will be looking in the Somerset County, New Jersey area for the next couple of weeks for leads on a different line and will keep a look out for Flagg.

My Flagg "connection" was a Lois who was the first wife of Daniel Beaumont. They had originated in Lebanon, New London, Conn. Before that the line was in Watertown, Mass. They like so many others were displaced by or moved on after the Rev War. That line has some Mayflower Pilgrims and other interesting stuff in it.

I found the below entry in the Simmendinger Register, but nothing in the Palatines lists for Flagg, which I know are incomplete. I don't think that links work on this site but if you google simmendinger you will find the list. There are other related lists that you will find also, I believe 4-5. One is Kocherthal so that should help. One or more of the Palatine communities was in Jersey, but you will need to check.

Take the spaces out of the following link and it will get you to a searchable palatine database.

Thank you for your posting and I have looked at lines in Mass. but my Flagg line we think did not come thru Mass. So far The oldest Flagg I find in N.J. came with the Palintines abt. 1709 from either Germany or England. Now I need to put my Amos in Johns line then to the older line.

You will find a boatload of Flaggs in the Watertown, Waltham, Mass. area in the mid 1700's and earlier. Big families if memory serves correct. I looked into them a few years back and it should be an easy line. Look in the LDS records and also rootsweb for hints. You might check the DAR records also. Be sure to verify that information though.

Here is a book if you can find it. It is in the library here in Houston, so it should be in other genealogy libraries.

I am a great,great, great grandson of John Stuart. I am trying hard to find his parents names(possibly william and Corcelia?)and when the family came from Scotland.I am descended through his son John,Jr.,Abraham,John E. and Lynn P. I
recently found and printed off a muster roll of Capt.Jacob Ten Eyck's with John Stuart's name on it.Our branch of the family settled in the southern tier of New York State in the area of Cameron which is Just a few miles from Bath. I recently discovered a relative living in Bath who works with the Historical Society there.
I would love to get in touch with you if I could.but I am very new at this and am not sure how to do that.We might have some information worthy to share

Seek Early HAMLERS/HAMMLERS (pre-1800) in Somerset Co., NJ

k_purchase — 2009-10-09 06:50:26Z

I am aware of when Nicolas Johann Hammler first moved to Somerset Co., NJ; it was in 1718. Only the year before he had moved his family from Gemmingen, Germany to New York; then on to Somerset Co., NJ.

He had come to America with his first wife, Eva Magdalena Keller, b. 1677 and their four children:

1.) Nicholas Hamler, b. 1700 (the name-spelling shortened in America.)
2.) Eva Magdalena Hamler, b. 1708
3.) Johannes Hamler, b. 1713;
4.) Maria Margaretha Hamler, b. 1714

(Dates are relatively different accordng to the source, especially with the children after Nicholas Jr., but correct within 10 years.)

Nicholas Sr. married his new wife, Margaretha Barbara Erich (a widow) in 1718 in Somerset County.

I have studied the Hamler family in New Jersey for many years but I can only get my personal family back absolutely, to my GGrandfather who was born in 1807 in New Jersey; he and his family were living in Sussex Co., NJ in the 1850 Census.

No one left New Jersey in my personal family until 1937 when my Dad's mother died and he left for southern California.

I feel that my Hamler family stemmed from the original Hamler/Hammler family in Somerset County. Plus in 1990, there were only 350 Hamlers in the white pages of the whole U.S. telephone book. There are just not that many of us.
All my life, I knew no other Hamler but my parents, brother
and niece.

So I am trying to "go backward" to find the father of my G-Grandfather, William H. Hamler, b. 1807 in NJ.

In NJ, historically, the Hamlers first seem to have settled in Somerset County.

Nicholas Hamler "Jr." married Maria Magdalena Simon (Marlene) abt 1724/25. Their children (that I know of) were

1.) Maria Hamler, b. 1727, NJ
2.) Catherine Hamler, b. 1728, NJ
3.) Benjamin Hamler, b. 1729, NJ

I have two possibilities for Johannes Hamler's family:

There was the will of "John Hambler" (a common mispelling of Hamler) whereby his wife was Catharean, two daughters Mary and Elizabeth and the sons: John Nicholas Hambler, Daniel Hambler, Adam Hambler, Leonard Hambler,and Jacob Hambler. And many people think that this John Hambler is really "Johannes Hamler" who died in 1778. The will was made out in Morris County, NJ where a lot of the Hamlers seemed to have migrated out of Somerset County.

The Schmidt family had a daughter marry into the Hamler family, first name of "husband Hamler" unknown.
This family was comprised of:

Wife: Anna Elizabeth Schmidt
Bapt. 01 Mar 1713, NY
"The Palatine Families of NY- 1710,"
by Hank Z. Jones Jr.
Wife's father: Johan Heinrich Schmidt
Wife's mother: Anna Catharina
Schleicher.

Andrew HAMLER
Mary HAMLER
Eva HAMLER
Jacob HAMLER
Peter HAMLER
Nicolas HAMLER
Elizabeth (Elisabeth) HAMLER

"Andrew Hamler" occurs in my personal family tree from early on and this family obviously has connections with the first Hamlers in Somerset County.

Leonard Hamler appears in tax schedules in Morris County in the very early 1800s as well as the men named in John Hambler's will.

"The Janeway Account book" of the mid-1700s (Somerset Co.)shows Nicholas Hamler's (probably Junior's) buying and selling record.
Inerestingly, Nicholas "Hambler" is shown as buying a Negro named Benjamin. The first Hamlers were religious Lutherans and there were some New Jerseyians and people in the North who didn't believe in slavery and bought slaves to set them free. I don't know that this was true of my family... It is just somewhat ironic to me that Nicholas Jr. had a son that was named Benjamin as well.

Does anyone have more knowledge of these early Hamlers (Hammlers/Hamblers/Homblres, Homlars, Homlers) from Somerset or Morris or Sussex County in the 1700s?

If you have knowledge of my GGrandfather William H. Hamler's parentage so much the better, but any person named "Hamler" will do as I continue to Research.
I believe his brother was David Hamler (b. 1809, NJ) who was married to Amy Drake, b. 1821, NJ.

An obvious "person of interest" would be, according to the Census records of Somerset County, William Hamler, b. 1793; with Ann Allen (wife) and children: Jane; John M. Hamler (b. the around the same year as my G-Uncle John M. Hamler of Sussex Co., NJ), and Lydia, the parents and Lydia being buried at Bernardsville Methodist Cemetery, Somerset Co., NJ

Thanks very much for any help or direction you might give so I can "connect backward" to my GGrandfather's family.

k_purchase — 2009-10-07 02:09:53Z

It's been over 25 years, with a lot of work, and I still can't figure out who my GGGrandfather Hamler is. Hopefully I have boiled it down to a few people... And would appreciate ANY help on this...

Two of them are in the Will of "John Hambler, d. 1778 in Morris County, NJ." They are his sons, Leonard and John Hamler. The other possibility is the name Isaac Hamler or the SON of Isaac Hamler.

You find Leonard Hamler/Homler in the very early tax schedules (1800, 1810 etc.) in Roxbury twp, NJ.
A Nancy Hamler from Somerset Co., NJ b. 1790 ended up, at the end of her life, living with her son Leonard Bird in Morris County (first living in Somerset County). (Nancy's first husband was "Andrew Bird"; second husband was Tunis Cole.) (We still don't know the name of Nancy Hamler's father.)

My GGrandfather was William H. Hamler (1807NJ - 1854 Sussex Co., NJ) William's first son was called Isaac Hamler, b. 1834; his first daughter was called Jehila Hamler, b. 1830, after his WIFE's MOTHER which may fit into German naming practices.

There was also a lot of William's children who were named after family members...

William H. Hamler and Noyetta Kindred/Kindree Hamler's children:
1.) Jehila/Gehila Hamler, b. 1830, NJ (a namesake for her Grandmother)
2.)Isaac Hamler, b. 1834, NJ (a namesake?)
3.) Mary Ann Hamler, b. 1835, NJ, died young
4.) Sarah R. Hamler, b. 1838, NJ
5.) William H. Hamler, b. 1839, NJ (a namesake)
6.) Andrew H. Hamler, b. 1843, NJ (There are a lot of Andrews in various Hamler family trees.)
7.) (James) Edward Hamler, b. 1845; his nephew is also named (James) Edward Hamler.
8.) Elijah Hamler, b. 1845, NJ, probably died around the time of the Civil War where he served as a drummer. He is never heard of on paper again.
9.) John M. Hamler, b. 1846, NJ (There was a "John M. Hamler, born within two years of this John M. Hamler in Somerset Co., NJ, his father was also William but this William was born in 1793.)
10.) Cornelius Hamler (1850 - 1913), NJ; my Grandfather
(Named after his mother's brother.)

"John" and "Nicholas" and "Andrew" and "William" are common names that appear throughout the 1700s in the Hamler family. The "first Hamler family" to come to America from Germany in 1717 (that I know of) had the patriarch called Johannes Nicholas, with sons named by each one of those names: Johannes (some people believe that "John Hambler" of the Will fame was the second son "Johannes.") The first son was Nicholas. When his wife died, Johannes Nicholas Hammler moved to Somerset Co., NJ where he settled. And the Hamlers in NJ started to spread out from Somerset Co., to Morris Co., Sussex County and Warren County.

Does anybody see something here that would tell me my GGGrandfather Hamler's first name?

Or has your research lead you in such a direction?

Thanks so much!

k_purchase — 2009-10-04 04:34:30Z

I am seeking the parents and siblings of William Hamler (1793 - 1873, Somerset Co., NJ)

He married Ann Allen (1804 - 1886, also Somerset Co., NJ)
His first daughter (as far as I know) was named Jane Hamler, b.1838; Jane married George S. Harmer on 18 Feb 1864 Somerset Co., NJ [Somerset County Historical Society, married by Voorhees]

Their next child was John M. Hamler, b. 1843, Somerset Co., NJ, married to Elizabeth.

The next child was Lydia Hamler, b. 1845 Somerset Co., NJ

William, Ann and Lydia are buried at Bernardsville Methodist Church in Bernardsville, Somerset Co., NJ

You can see the gravesite at findagrave.com

The history of the Hamler/Hammler family in the US begins in 1717 when they left their home and church in Gemmingen, Germany, and crossed the sea to New York. The mother died within a year of their voyage then the family moved quickly to Somerset County, NJ where they stayed. This William Hamler family seemed to stay for much longer than the other branches. William's son, John M. Hamler was born within two years of my G-Uncle John M. Hamler who was born in Sussex Co., NJ. (It's clear that they were married to two different women and were two different people; but I believe there is a strong family tie between the two families.)

I believe that this William Hamler was probably a cousin of my GGrandfather William H. Hamler (1807 - 1854, Sussex Co., NJ)

The other Hamlers moved from Somerset county to Sussex Co., Morris Co., and Warren Co. My Dad was born in Morris County in 1908.

I would especially like to know more about William Hamler of Somerset Co., NJ (1793 - 1873).

In the early years, Bridgewater was known as a farming town, until around the 1970s when its population began to grow, and is now a more typical suburban town. What are now the boroughs of Somerville, Raritan and Bound Brook were once part of Bridgewater Township until they broke away years after the original chartering. Portions of Warren and Branchburg Townships also were originally part of Bridgewater Township.

Hall-Mills murder case: Criminal case concerning the 1922 double murders of the Rev.

Subsequent publicity revealed that Hall and Mills, both married, had been involved in an extramarital affair that had scandalized area residents. Although no indictments were returned in 1922, eventually – following substantial newspaper publicity – Frances (Stevens) Hall (Edward Hall's spouse), her two brothers and a cousin were arrested in 1926. Among the witnesses at the 1926 Somerville, N.J., trial of three of the defendants for the murder of Eleanor Mills was Jane Gibson, dubbed the "Pig Woman" by the press because she raised pigs on her farm. At the conclusion of the trial, the three defendants were found not guilty and the remaining charges against all four of those arrested for the murders were dropped. The case was never officially solved. (Note: In later years, the home of Frances Hall was acquired by Rutgers University and used as the residence for the Dean of Douglass College.)

Please try again...I have been getting lots of emails: teathymes@hotmail.com

A while back I did find John (65) and Elizabeth (60) (probably right after my post here) with children: Abraham (25); and twin?? or just rounded age?? John (25); William (20); and Sarah (15). This was the 1841 Stowey census. I was pretty sure this was "our" direct line with John/Elizabeth & their children, including Abraham (and the family of Benjamin). This was the only Abraham Stallard in Somerset census records. I don't know if there were other children between Benjamin & Abraham (it would seem there must be) with a 9 yr age span. It is possible they may have had one or more children older than Benjamin too.

I haven't looked at the 1851 census or any except 1841. Have you?

Thanks for the legal notice; I always wondered what happened since "Abram" was living with Benjamin right after they came on their first census in 1850 (family listed as Stoddard) and then Abram was with the Webb family in 1860 Niagra County, NY and never found in census records again. I wondered if he met with foul play or disappeared. Benjamin seemed to like his ale and NY historians said he died because of it.

I'll try again later today. My message, was that, of course, I will gladly share with you any information I have.

Re: Edward Wheeler Hall - Mrs. Eleanor REINHARDT MILLS

Thank you.

It was once posted on rootsweb.ancestry.com, the family information. But possibly my post em, made the family uncomfortable or something???

That was not my intention. I was just trying to find out, then and now, if the MILLS family as referenced, James MILLS or MAILES , and Eleanor REINHARDT, were in some way related to my MILLS also of New Jersey.

Edward WHEELER HALL, and Jane GIBSON.

My famiy MILLS,
They seem to be all over the place therein.

Thank you again.

Gives me a little bit more where I might find them on the census records, etc.

And can back track from there, to see where they might fit in, now with DNA testing etc.

GIBSON surname also ties in with other MILLS, JOHNSON, GULICK, related surnames of Kentucky and Ohio, etc.

I had to run by the library today so I looked up your entries. In Wright's book, the baptism entry is on page 112. It is also in the Somerset County Historical Quarterly vol. 4 (1915), p. 219.

Abraham was baptized 18 May 1740, son of Folkert Dirckson and Dina Van Leeuwen. The baptism is recorded in the records of the Readington Church. You can find these baptisms in either the Somerset Co Historical Quarterly (the Readington baptisms are serialized in vols. 4 to 8) or in "Early Church Records of Somerset County" by F. Edward Wright, published in 2002 by Colonial Roots. I do not have copies of either and am unable to give you page numbers. I assume you can order microfilm of the original records if you want (or need) to reference a primary source document.
Good luck.

Hi Katherine,
I am in and out, since I have retired. Just leave a message if you can't reach me and I'll call you back.
Helen W. and William R. French, I believe had two children,
so you and I would be some kind of blood relatives. William would have been my fifth cousin. It sounds like your grandmother Adele had an unfortunate live, loosing both of the French children and her husband Emile. Hope she was happy after she remarried.

I do have lots of info about the Phalanx. Looking forward to sharing info with you.

Trish

KATHERINE, WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. AS THEY HAD TWO CHILDREN, WHICH WOULD MEAN THEY ARE RELATED TO ME. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
MORE ABOUT THEM. DID SHE REMARRY TO SOMEONE WHO ADOPTED THEM AND THEIR SURNAME IS CHANGED?

HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU,
TRISH

I have just written you a clever and complete explanation that when I posted it I received an error message- so frustrating! Please do call me at 804-739-1441 so we can just talk- I hate to type. I am SO sorry not to have gotten back to you sooner- I am very intereste din Phalanx- I grew up near by and never got much info form muy mom about it.
As Adele Taylor French Hendrickson was rtelated somehow to us both I suppose we are indeed relatives! I find itt such a coincidence that my dad- in no way related to Adele- lived in Amelia Island when he died in 1986! Call me- I too am in and out but will try to stop being so ellusive.

Thank you SO much for the articles and information Trish (was it Trish?). It is amazing to reconstruct from such flimsey snippets he fabric of one's ancestor's lives. Did you tell me the name of William Remsen French's wife? And that there was a daughter too? How were Delia Carrol and John Gibson, residing with Emile at time of the 1910 census sheet related to Emile?
My father's side of the family has Gibsons as well- I suppose no connection.

Hi Helen! Got you VM but too busy at the time to respond. I am very interested- my mom never had any details about the Phalanx community other than her family was "involved" somehow. She was born long afterward, I think.
Company for weekend- maybe we can catch up next week- what are good times for you?
