Thanks. I have been trying every so often to find a family member. This is not my family, but it needs to be somewhere besides on my book shelf! I would be happy to copy the pages and mail it to you, or email if you prefer. Your dates are very close, so there maybe a connection there. I wonder if the Samuel that you have listed in the father of the Samuel that I have?
Do you know how to contact the Hunterdon Co. Historical Soc. or do you know where it is located. My family is still all in Harmony, Warren Co., so I get home fairly often.
Thanks for responding!!!
:) Jennifer Spade

Harry, I think what you have is very valuable! I am descendant of Jane Crow
Johnston, b. 02 Oct 1811, Pennsylvania. She was married to Lewis Hazelius
Taylor, Sr. of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. I believe her father was
William Phillip Johnston, b. 02 Nov 1767. He was married to Charlotte
Rowson. I believe William's parents were Robert Johnston, b. 04 Sep 1733 &
Esther Chambers.. Lastly, I believe Robert Johnston's father was Samuel
Johnston, b. 1706 in Scotland & died 1785 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey.
Samuel, I believe was married to Sarah Oakley. I am sure the Hunterdon
County Historical Society would love to talk to you about it. ... John

> Hi Everyone,
> I have a mystery to solve. I grew up in Harmony, Warren Co., NJ and
currently live in Lancaster Co., PA. My father had a dump that we would
"treasure hunt" in when I was young, and I have a Webster's Dictionary dated
1854.
