Subject: [NJHUNTER] Robert Smith (d. 1813) of Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon Co.
Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 00:38:56 EDT

Greetings,

I'm working on my tough Smith line from Bethlehem Twp. circa 1900 and
earlier. Is anyone else working on this family? This Robert Smith who died
in 1813 may be a descendant (likely grandson) of Jasper Smith (d. circa
1754), the early judge of Maidenhead Twp., but proof is lacking.

I've checked the obvious records (census, Chambers, Snell, Calendar of Wills,
etc.). If someone has Jasper Smith and His Descendants and Smith Family of
Lawrenceville and Trenton both by James A. Murray, perhaps this line is
listed there. Robert is not listed as a descendant of Jasper Smith of
Maidenhead Twp. in The Smith Family of Bedford, N.Y. and Maidenhead, N.J. by
Lewis D. Cook.

I'm open to all inputs. Thanks!
