As some of you may know, I have been actively researching and documenting
the New Netherlands ancestry of the WILLIAMSON family of Hunterdon Co. Some
of my contributions to and corrections from the current series on the
WILLIAMSON family of Gravesend, Kings Co., NY in "The New York Genealogical
and Biographical Record" are freely available to all in the WILLIAMSON
documents at www.perry.streeter.com:

Now that the ancestry of my "grandfather" Abraham WILLIAMSON has been fairly
well researched, I am turning my attention to the ancestry of his wife, my
"grandmother," Sarah (SMITH) WILLIAMSON, dau. of Robert & Jemima (-----)
SMITH of Bethlehem Township. What little I currently know of Sarah's
ancestry is documented here:

Thanks to my cousin Dot Williamson, I have some of her research notes
available for research follow-up. I would be extremely grateful to anyone
who would be willing to obtain photocopies of the following documents for me
from the Hunterdon County Surrogate Court and County Clerk:

Docket 06968

This docket refers Abraham Williamson, a child of John Williamson of
Bethlehem Township (who d. 1838) who married Sarah Smith, a child of Robert
Smith Sr. of Bethlehem Township (who d. 18 Feb 1812 leaving a widow and 10
children). I am assuming that the following documents are related to this
docket:

Deeds

Book 27, pages 318 & 323
Book 78, page 149

Mortgage

Book 2, page 197

Ideally, Robert Smith's first grantee deed in Bethlehem would include a
phrase indicating his prior residence or perhaps he is named in his unknown
father's will.

Of course, I will gladly reimburse a volunteer for any photocopying,
postage, gas, parking, etc. expenses that may be incurred in assisting me.
Please contact me beforehand to ensure that multiple volunteers do not make
any redundant efforts.

Thank you in advance for your time & efforts--they are sincerely
appreciated!
