Subject: [NJHUNTER] DEVER/HARRITY of Lambertville
Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2000 13:54:24 +1100


I would like to re-post my interest in the families of Patrick DEVER and
Susannah HARRITY, my 3xg grandparents, of Lambertville, NJ, in the hopes
of finding a connection with descendants of their possible brothers and
sisters. Their details are below my signature.

Their family's migratory path from Co. Donegal, Ireland (c1830-c1852):
---> Newark, Essex Co., New Jersey, USA (c1853-c1856)
---> Maugh Chunk, Carbon Co., Pennsylvania, USA (c1857-c1859)
---> Lambertville, Hunterdon Co. New Jersey, USA (c1860-present)

*** I AM LOOKING FOR THEIR TOWN OF MARRIAGE AND PATRICK'S PARENTS!

Thanks for your interest.
