Hi Amy:

Guess I have the info you are looking for. Harrison Kymer married CAROLINE COSS - not Van Etten. Both are supposedly buried in Old Beemerville Cemetery James Adam Kymer married GEORGIANA HAGGERTY from Port Jervis. They had my grandmother - KATHERINE who also went by the name of KITTY CARRIE ELLA after her two grandmothers CAROLINE & ELEANOR, wife of Adam. Go all the way back to George CIMER (ORIGINAL SPELLING)

Thank you very much for that obituary. I don't have that one, as I didn't know when in 1930 Mabel died. This is my family, as I am decended from John Henry Kymer's sister, Sara Ella Kymer. Sara married David Skellenger and they lived near Plumbsock, (Beemerville), Sussex County, NJ. John Henry would be my great-great uncle!

Thank you so much for posting that obit!

Hi Phyllis, how are you!

Thank you for answering my post! I am glad I started this forum.
How do you fall in line with this family? James and Georgiana had a daughter Katherine.....what happened then? I have the obit of Georgiana......they are buried in Fairview Cemetery in Sussex.

I was sure that Caroline Coss was a Van Etten because of the fact that so many of the Kymers have "Van" as a middle name or addition to their middle name. Who was Caroline Coss decended from. I am sure that I had seen before that she was a Van Etten, and I also found it on this rootsweb genconnect thing. I know everyone's information isn't always 100%on that site....

I would be interested in any information you are willing to share with me on this line, as I am decended from a similar line of Kymers that lived in Beemerville/Plumbsock. I go back to John Kymer that married Sarah Phillips - who was a granddaughter of David Phillips and Ann Barber who were one of the founding families of Branchville, NJ.

I'm looking for parents of Elizabeth Kymer b. 22 Jun 1776 d. 28 Aug 1826 in Frankford twp, Sussex Co, NJ. She was married to Israel Dillistin on 9 Oct 1796 Sussex Co, NJ. She's buried in the Branchville Cemetery and was a member of the 2nd Wantage Baptist Church.

Thanks,
Jeanne

I would imagine that Elizabeth has to be the daughter of
George and Abbe Kymer and one of the siblings to my John Kymer. That far back, I can only see one Kymer famiy that origniated from George. It is possible there could have been another Kymer family.......but I haven't seen that in any of the census records. All signs point back to George and Abbe.

What do you think?

I don't have any info at all on George and Abbe. Would you mind sharing what you have or leading me to some sources? I have looked on New York and New Jersey census records and found nothing. Did he leave a will or was there a division of his land after his death that mentions his children's names?

I have run across a couple of other Kymers that could be sisters to Elizabeth. A Phebe Kymer who was married to Michael Decker and had a child, Mary, in 1795 in Sussex County. Miss Kymer who was married to Joel Bockover and had a child, Jonathan, in 1797.

Thanks,
Jeanne

Jeanne:

Marriage books for Sussex County make the following references:

COYMER, Adam (Wantage) to Elenor Curelius
COYMER, Anna to Samuel Schofield
COYMER, Elizabeth to Israel Dillason - Oct. 9 1796
COYMER, Peter to Sarah Rodney

I am positive that is another (or perhaps the first spelling) of KYMER, as Adam "Coymer" is my g-g-g-grandfather who married Eleanor Curelius.

In answer to your question, yes there is a will for George Cymer (Kymer) but it only mentions the names of two daughters, even though he refers to two others, and neither one is Elizabeth.
