Dear Bill,
Zephaniah SPACE was a son of the immigrant from Germany, John SPACE, 1757 - 1813 and Abigail MOTT. I THINK Elizabeth SPACE was a descendant (granddaughter) of John's older brother Peter. In the collection of SPACE information I have, is a Matthias SPACE, Mar 1801 - 25 Jan 1886 (who may be a son of Peter, although I don't have proof of this yet), married M. VAN HOUTEN. They had children Elizabeth, abt 1828 and Henry V., abt 1829 before M. (VAN HOUTEN) died in 1829 and Matthias remarried abt 1830 his second wife, Sarah REED. Anyway, this is the information I have in my notes for Matthias: "Source for this family is from a book on the SHOEMAKER family by Michael Shoemaker, page 146. Matthias may have been a son of the immigrant Peter SPACE of Germany Flats, Sussex Co, NJ. He is shown as age 84 in the 1880 census of Readington, Hunterdon Co., NJ, page 160D, with Sarah, age 73." Elizabeth SPACE married William GUEST (I didn't have their marriage date) and these are the notes I have for her: "Children: Margaret; Edward; Ella, married George EYCK. She is listed in the 1880 census of Readington, Hunterdon Co., NJ at age 53 with husband William H. GUEST, 55. Margaret is still in the home at age 24 and Ellen and her husband George "EIKE" are also in the home at age 22. There is an Edward GUEST, 14, on the same census page in the home of George M. and Louisa P. TEN EYCK listed as "Gson."" My notes for Henry V. are: "Shown in the 1880 census of Readington, Hunterdon Co., NJ, page 160D, with wife Emmly A., 45, and a Susan A. SPACE, "Other", 16. Daughter: Louise, married 1st George TEN EYCK, 2nd Theodore VLIET, WhiteHouse, NJ."
Hope this helps. Della
