>WEll, are your fingers falling off yet?? Are you sorry to posted that
message about the cemeteries???<<

The answer is not just No!, but Hell No!!!

I've got one vantage point, I've been looking at all this stuff since I
started photocoping
everything I found for Hunterdon County, NJ back in 1989.

Now, thanks to whoever formed this mailing list - I now don't have to
wonder if these
people have been forgotton - because the looks of some of the graves, they
have not
been attended to in years, plus some.

The Amwell Grave Yard, next to Amwell Brethren Church in Delaware Twp.,
Hunterdon
County, NJ now has approx. 85% of it's living descendants identified.

Maybe, the next visit I make, the graves will look like somebody cares.


>I used the info you posted about the Cases. I input lots of the info
and used almost all of it. I have a problem with the Tunis Case who
married Rhoda Moore, though. It allmakes sense as long as Rhoda Moore
is Rhoda Elizabeth Moore. Is she? Their one daughter is named
Elizabeth Rhoda...... You say that "Rhoda is the wife of Tunis Case and
the daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Moore. Then lower on the page you
say Tunis Jr. married Elizabeth Moore. Then he married Catherine
Woodburn. I think Elizabeth and Rhoda are the same person. What do
you think?<

>From the names as given in the documentation, I would have to assume that
she
was Rhoda Elizabeth, but my Moore information did not include Daniel, so I
have
no way to check any further.

I believe the church records could answer that question, but I have so many
questions
for so many families, I can't make a clear request.

My request usually go, "Would you please check on ...., and if that is true
are his/her brothers
and sisters x, y, z, married by ?? also listed? They are buried right
outside the church and ...."

The person who has the church record is the town historian for Frenchtown,
and for where
the church is locate (Now), I can see no problem in transportation, but in
1778 - I don't know,
seems like a fur piece.

There was "the German settlement", which I have problems with - most spoke
Dutch and left
Dutch Bibles in their wills -- sorry if I just weht over your head - but
like I said, I've been looking
since 1989.

I can't wait to see the rest of this stuff. It's all coming together.
