Subject: [NJHUNTER] George Casper Hise - family kidnapped?
Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 17:06:56 EDT


I have a reference to the settlement of the estate of a George Casper Hise in
1801, Amwell, Hunterdon Co., NJ and just received a note from a fellow
researcher regarding the story of this George Hise having his family
kidnapped by Indians (Native Americans). The narative re this event is in a
book titled "Pioneer Families of the Mid-West" by Blanche L. Walden. Seems
there are some inconsistancies here - one of them being that New Jersey is
certainly not the mid-west. Would someone tell me where I should write to
get a copy of the Settlement of this George Casper (Jasper?) Hise's estate in
Hunterdon Co. One of his daughters married a Thaddeus Smith and they did
migrate to Indiana but that would have been AFTER the supposed kidnapping.
