Hi Bob & Tracie !
I'm very much interested in your wife's ancestory.
I have been working on the Henderson family name in NJ for several years and
have extensive data.
First let me say that I have three Henderson families in Bethlehem Tp,
Hunterdon Co. NJ.
One is a John Henderson Sr, another James Henderson, & an Edward Henderson
1735-1819. I am a descendant of Edward. Edward was married twice and had
10 children. 7 sons and 3 daughters. I have traced six of the seven sons,
one of which as Phineas 1774-1824. The Three daughters obviously died young
and the seventh son has vanished into the mist - probably died early.
We have not been able to determine where Edward, either of his wife's or any
of his three daughters are buried. Nor do we know the maiden names of the
wive's.
What is your wife's connection to Phineas? Could you send me a sketch or
outline similar to a family group sheet giving the data you have? I have
extensive information on Phineas and his descendants. Phineas is buried in
Cardiff Cemetery, Tully, NY.
Edward's first son was a John Henderson 1765-1834.
VERY anxious to see your information and connections.
I'll be happy to exchange data

>>> Hi Bud,
>>> I don't have anything on Mahlon Johnston born in Anthony in 1802, but
>>> there was a Mahlon Johnson who was born June 12, 1791, son of Jacob
>>> Johnson (1754-1846) and Sarah Garrison (1752-1853) of East Amwell. This
>>> Mahlon Johnson married Mary Evans 23 August 1823 (by Justice of the
>>> Peace Clifford according to Deats). They had several children including
>>> infants who were buried with Mahlon & Mary at Grandin Cemetery across
>>> from the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church on Race Street. One daughter who
>>> reached maturity was Sarah E. Johnson. She married William Apgar in
>>> February 1851 then sadly died in December the same year. William Apgar
>>> died 5 years later (1856) at the age of 26.
>>> If you are still interested in this Mahlon's parents then they are
>>> one of Hunterdon's most illustrious couples. Jacob fought in the
>>> Revolution and after his marriage to Sarah Garrison and the maturity of
>>> most of their children, moved the entire family from East Amwell to
>>> Hamden, Union Township, and joined the Bethlehem church community, dying
>>> at age 92. His wife produced 11 surviving children and died at age 101.
>>> Both are buried in Grandin Cemetery along with numerous children,
>>> grand-children, and great-grandchildren. Fred Sisser created a notebook

>>> viewed at the Hunterdon Co Historical Soc library in Flemington and
