James Hamar was supposedly very young when he enlisted in a N.J. regiment for the Rev. War at Colts Neck, N.J. He later moved to Kentucky where he married. No known info. or clues about his parents, other family members, etc. He died and was buried in Indiana in the 1830's. My connection to the Hamar family is through my Mom (her maiden name was Hamar). Thanks again for your help. P.S. He supposedly served under the Ogdens (Matthias(or Elias?) and Aaron) in the service. RESPONSE: The family having moved probably explains the scarceness of info. I went through some old Jersey Genealogy columns (from the Newark Evening News) and found one line on Hamer, and surprisingly, it may be useful. It puts a family in the area that could provide parents for your James. Jersey Genealogy---"Newark Evening News" March 10, 1917 Jamima Giberson and Fuller Hamer, both of Monmouth Co., were married on Jan. 13, 1762. I went through PERSI and came up with a few articles that also might help. The first paragraph is info on the article, the second are libraries that have copies of the periodical, and might (Allen Co. always will) send you copies of the article for a fee.

John Hampton, from Scotland, came in 1683 to Monmouth Co., had a son named John, who had a son named William, who had a son named Timothy. I believe this Timothy is the grandfather of a Timothy Hampton, born in 1795. We think his father's name is also William, born 5 Sep 1767. I am trying to find proof that these are the correct ancestors of Timothy (1795). I am particularly interested in references to Timothy and William Hampton (both sets.)

He was born in Long Branch, NJ in 1844. He was the Vice President of the U.S. under McKinley, 1897-1899. I have not been able to find any information on Mr. Hobart except one short paragraph. RESPONSE: I couldn't find anything in my normal sources, but I remembered I'd read an article about someone with McKinley from NJ, although I have nothing on Long Branch. I finally remembered where--some distance from Long Branch, but it's good. I would also use the encyclopedias, as he's in them. "HISTORY OF MARLBORO TOWNSHIP" by James S. Brown pub. by the Battleground Historical Soc., 1971 pg. 18-20: Chapter VII Garret A. Hobart "Certainly one of Marlboro Township's most illustrious sons was Garret A. Hobart, who served as Vice President of the United States from 1896 to 1899. "Garret Augustus Hobart was born June 3, 1844, in Shrewsbury Township in a house on the road from Long Branch village to Eatontown. But much of his early life was spent in this township though he was living in Paterson when he was selected as William McKinley's running mate in 1896. "The Hobart story began about 1840 when Addison W. Hobart moved from New Hampshire to take a job teaching school near Bucktown, now Marlboro Village. Soon after his arrival, he married Sophia Vanderveer, who lived nearby, and in 1841, the Hobarts moved to the Long Branch area. "There, Hobart and his wife's sister conducted a small school for several years. the elder Hobart apparently tired of teaching, or of the limited financial return, for in 1851 he began a series of purchases which would give him ownership of the old Buck Tavern property at Marlboro. This included a store and a residence. "According to one biographer, Addison Hobart began operating the store and also an adjacent farm. Garret began his formal education at the nearby school. "Then for a time, Garret attended a school in Freehold conducted by W. W. Woodhull and finally, he transferred to the new Collegiate Institute of Middletown Point, a successor to Middletown Point Academy at Matawan. "Young Hobart progressed so fast he was ready to enter college at 15 but he apparently remained out of school a year before enrolling in Rutgers. He completed college in three years and at the age of 19 was graduated third in his class in 1863. "The education of young Garret had apparently placed a heavy financial strain on his father for his Marlboro properties were mortgaged for $10,000 and some of the mortgages were foreclosed in 1860. Garret himself owed money toward his college education and after leaving Rutgers, he taught in the school on the Brick Church property for three months to pay off a debt of $110. "But most of the property their father had lost through foreclosures in 1860 was bought back by Garret and his brother, David, in 1866. "One of Garret's pupils during his brief teaching career was John W. Herbert, who 33 years later as a delegate to the Republican National convention was to support his nomination for Vice President. "After his teaching stint, Garret moved to Paterson to study law with Socrates Tuttle, an old friend of his father's from New Hampshire, who was regarded as one of the best lawyers in the state. "In 1866, Hobart was admitted to the bar and three years later, he married Tuttle's daughter, Jennie. largely with the aid of his father-in-law, who was mayor of Paterson in 1871, Garret appeared like a new star on the Republican political horizon. "He was city attorney for Paterson, then counsel for the Passaic County freeholders, and in 1873 was elected to the state Assembly, serving as speaker the second year. In 1877 he began the first of two terms as a state senator, twice serving as Senate president. "Hobart was highly regarded by both political parties in the state, but in 1883 he lost out to incumbent Democrat John R. McPherson of Monmouth Beach in a bid for the U.S. Senate. He had been a member of the Republican state committee for several years, serving part of the time as chairman. In 1884 he became Republican national committeeman, rising eventually to national vice chairman. "Despite all his political activity, Hobart was even more active in the operation and reorganization of railroads, utilities, and other corporations in the state. "I am a businessman; I engage in politics for recreation," he once commented. With the start of the presidential campaign of 1896, New Jersey Republicans began a determined effort to name Hobart as the running mate for McKinley, a personal friend. The drive succeeded in the party convention at St. Louis. "McKinley defeated William Jennings Bryan for the presidency and, largely with Hobart's help, the Republicans carried New Jersey for the first time since the election of Ulysses S. Grant in 1872. "As vice president, Hobart worked closely with McKinley and exercised strong influence at the Capitol in favor of sound business methods. "But in 1899, Hobart's health began to fail, though he was only 55. It soon became apparent that Hobart's public career was at an end. On Nov. 21 he died at Carroll Hall, his big Victorian home in Paterson. "Hobart's death came after only two and a half years in office. Had he lived he probably would have been McKinley's running mate for a second term and would then have become President when McKinley was assassinated in September 1901 by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist." ____________________________________________________________ HOLLOWAY/WOODS/FRENCH/LOWRY I am looking for information about the marriage of George Holloway and Ruth Wood married before 1840 in Burlington Co.

HURLEY, b. about April 1837 who married an Elizabeth ("Lizzie") MORRISON about 1864 or his father, Sylvester HURLEY b. 8 Jun 1813, who married Anna Maria BLAKE on 20 Nov 1836??? They all resided in Middletown at one time. RESPONSE: There are no Hurley's in "The Story of Middletown." I do have one set of books that covers that era but they only cover information on a Lester J. Hurley of Bradley Beach. He was born Oct. 27, 1887 at Bailey's Corner, Monmouth Co, the son of Samuel and Angeline (Justice) Hurley. Siblings were: George and Howard. He married first, Oct. 8, 1904 Florence Stout, who died May 5, 1911, leaving one child, Austin Everett, born July 25, 1905 at Bradley Beach. He married second, June 7, 1911, at Long Branch, Mabel Louise Ball. One child born (to date of publication 1922) Robert Kenneth, born Jan. 19, 1913. I did not type error, the 1st & 2nd marriage dates, maybe the publisher did. ____________________________________________________________ HURLEY, Timothy "This Old Monmouth of Ours", do you have a Hurley listed? Especially William, Leven, Thomas or Gilbert? RESPONSE: "THIS OLD MONMOUTH OF OURS" by William Hornor pg. 399-400 "Timothy Hurley, the original spelling of whose name was Herlihy, of Upper Freehold, is believed to have been the founder of the Monmouth county line, his children being, William, 2,; David, 3, who married 12/8/1757, Sarah Branson; and perhaps others. "William Hurley, 2, supposed son of Timothy,1, was a soldier of the Revolution. His home was Hurley's Corners, the site of what was probably the largest Indian village in the shore section of Monmouth. His children are gives as: James ,4; Peter, 5; David, 6; William, 7; Thomas, 8; Samuel, 9; and Cornelius, 10. "James Hurley, 4, supposed son of William, 2, was born 6/5/1784, and died 5/3/1855. He is buried at Glendola. His wife was Rebecca Newbury, half-sister to Stephen. She was born in 1787, and died 11/10/1857. Their children were: Jeremiah, 11; Elizabeth, 12, who married Samuel Thompson; Mary, 13, who married Elias Pitcher; Hannah, 14, who married Captain William S. Hornor; Britton, 15; William, 16; Emeline, 17, who married John W. Stout; Stephen, 18 who married Sarah Conover; and Alexander, 19, who was in fact, an adopted son. "Thomas Hurley, 8, son of William, 2, was born 5/19/1790, died 4/14/1868. The given name of his wife was Mary. She was born 6/23/1791, died 6/21/1876. "Samuel Hurley, 9, supposed son of William,2, was born 6/12/1797, and died in 1881. He married Mary, daughter of Samuel and Catherine (Bennett) Morris. She was born 7/10/1799. "Cornelius Hurley, 10, supposed son of William, 2, was born 11/1/1806, and died 4/13/1875. "Jeremiah Hurley, 11, son of James 4, married Catherine Jackson. Their children were: Hannah, 20; Lavinia, 21, whose daughter, Ada Tilton, married Charles E. Nieman of Red Bank; Monroe, 22; and Britton, 23, who died young. "Britton Hurley, 15, 1814-1899, was of Long Branch and was widely and favorably known. He married Jane Brinley, of the old colonial family of that ilk, and had one son, Brinley, 24. "William Hurley, 16, son of James, 4, married Jane, daughter of Robert B. and Rebecca (Youmans) Morris. Their children were: Borden, 25; Herbert, 26; and others whose names are not available at this writing." ____________________________________________________________ HUTCHINS/PINTARD (also see PINTARD) My ancestors James Hutchins and Anthony Hutchins lived in Monmouth Co.--Middletown?-- in the early 1700's. I would like to have information on them or their families. RESPONSE: "HISTORICAL & GENEALOGICAL MISCELLANY" by John Stillwell, M.D. Vol. III Pg. 65 1733. Nehemiah Bowne bought land in Middletown from James Hutchins of Middletown. Vol. II Pg. 211 6/12/1725. James Hutchins recorded his earmark in Middletown: a hole through each ear. ____________________________________________________________ IMLAY I'm interested in any mention of the IMLAY family or the naming of Imlaystown in "This Old Monmouth of Ours". My gggrandmother, Harriet B. Imlay was born 5 Apr 1868 at Imlaystown. As I begin the digging, any information would be helpful. RESPONSE: "This Old Monmouth of Ours" is a poor book for Imlay/Emley. 1868 is also much to late for this book, which is primarily Rev. War and earlier. There are exactly 3 mentions of Imlay family members, with no parentage given. Imlaystown is situated near the central part of Upper Freehold Township on Doctor's Creek. It was originally part of a large tract patented by John Baker in 1690. After his death it passed to George Willocks, who sold it to Richard Salter, Sr. Salter built a mill which then passed to his son Richard, Jr. A Mr. Imlay bought a large portion of it from Richard, Jr. (This all comes from "History of Monmouth Co., NJ" by Franklin Ellis. Your gggrandmother, b. 1868, is also much too late for my books. ____________________________________________________________ JACQUES Who were the parents of Rebecca Jacques who married Merritt Martin?

"This Henry had a son Henry, born at Newbury, July 20, 1649, who died at Woodbridge, NJ, April 17, 1679, who married Hannah ____, and who came to Woodbridge with his father. "Henry Jaques, Jr. had four children: John, Henry, Sarah, Jonathan. Of these three sons, either Henry or Jonathan, was probably the father of Samuel, born 1708, died May 1, 1780; married December 12, 1730, Sarah Cutter, daughter of Major Richard and Mary (Pike) Cutter, born 1710, died October 15, 1758. "This Samuel was senior warden of the Episcopal Church at Woodbridge and was named as such in the royal charter of Dec. 5, 1769. He was a blacksmith, and in his will, dated Feb. 22, 1777, states that he wishes his freehold and sociate rights to be divided between his two sons. Samuel and Sarah (Cutter) Jaques had six children: Susannah who married Joseph Bird (information of this family is wanted); Richard; Mary, who married ____Dennis; Samuel, who married Annabel Brown and Abigail ____; Sarah; & William. The above Richard was probably the Dr. Richard of Freneau and Matawan. Sarah and William died as children. A record of the births of these children are to be found in the records of Woodbridge town. "Of these children--Richard, born March 6, 1733, was probably the Dr. Richard of Freneau. The records show that he and his father had real estate transactions at various times; one record states that Samuel sold his son Richard property known as the 'Boggy Meadow.' this meadow was in Woodbridge Township in that part call Rahway. The transaction took place on June 5, 1757. Richard later sold this land to his brother Samuel. "We find among a list of names for whom letters are held at the Trenton Post office, on Jan. 14, 1771, one for Dr. Richard Jacques, Middletown ("The Penn. Gazette," No.2197, Jan. 31, 1771). "I would like very much to learn something further of Dr. Jaques, his family, his wife, also anything of the family of William Jaques who lived in the Hornor House at Middletown. Do you know when Dr. Jaques died, where he is buried, or name of his wife? "In your article you state that he had at least two children: John Ogilvie and Mary, who were baptized at Shrewsbury on May 15, 1768. This I think helps to prove his relationship to the Woodbridge family because of the fact that Richard's brother Samuel had a son John. Ogilvie Jaques, who was born in Woodbridge. "Samuel Jaques, born April 29, 1739, died September 2, 1803, who married first Annabel Brown, dau. of James Brown and {his}second wife Agnes Clarkson; and second Abigail ____; had children; William, who married probably Christian ____(probably married twice) and had with others, Isaac, who m. Sarah Romaine; James, who probably married Abigail Marsh; John Ogilvie, born December 8, 1766, died November 10, 1816, married Margaret Dobbs, born September 19, 1766, died Sept. 20, 1813, dau. of John and Mary (Hadden) Dobbs and had ten children. Were there other? "It may be interesting to note here that William Jaques(probably son of Samuel in above paragraph), father of Isaac, who married Sarah Romaine, has a grand daughter living in Woodbridge, NJ, who on June 23 of this year (1918) celebrated her 101st birthday.

Here is my Johnson-Lewis-Rue rundown: Thomas Johnson (ca1770-ca1830) of Monmouth Co/Middlesex Co, NJ married Abigail Rue (ca1770-ca1850). Their children were Daniel, Henry, Catherine & Jane. Jane Johnson (ca 1816-ca1849) married Benjamin Lewis in 1839 in Monmouth Co, NJ. They had 5 children, including John Nelson Lewis (1846-1923). After her death, Benjamin remarried a Margaret ? and had 8 more children. He was born ca 1815. Any Lewis, Rue or Johnson connection may be siblings of the above which I don't have info on but which could help. In the IGI, an entry for Lydia Johnson and Jane Johnson lists them as "relatives". Lydia Johnson married Austin Rue. RESPONSE: Census of Pensioners for Revolutionary or Military Services for 1840. I ran the list and came up with the following: Middlesex Co.
