Her death record said she was born in Monmouth County, NJ around 1815. The hand me down information said she was an orphan, born in New Jersey -but I was the first one to get her death record and it says Monmouth Co. That was a first for anyone in my family, so it looked promising. All that I know after that is that she got married in Macon County, Illinois April 20, 1837 to Joseph Brown. Her spelling could Newbury, Emmeline, etc -you know how that goes! RESPONSE: Below is a list of what I checked and what I found nothing on Emmeline, unless she is "Amelia." I listed the early Newberry info that I did find, just in case you turn a piece of something that refers to them, plus they eliminate your searching these sources until you find a reference to them.

"Benjamin Newbury was living in Rhode Island in 1691. "Robert, Henry and William Newbury were living in Burlington County before 1715. They are believed to have been brothers, and of the Rhode Island family. No further particulars of Robert Newbury are at hand. Henry Newbury died in 1717, and seems to have left two daughters--Rebecca, born about 1706, and Mary, born 1708 or 1709. "William Newbury (Newberry) married Mercy Hasker, daughter of William, and died about 1726, leaving children: Hasker, John, Josiah, William, Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah and Mercy. It is from this family that the Monmouth County Newburys are said to descend. The writer would much like confirmation of this. "Thomas Newbury of Monmouth County was licensed, Oct. 29, 1748, to marry Elizabeth Gifford. William Newbury of the same county, had license to marry Anne Havens, April 25, 1748. Stephen and William Newbury were living near Manasquan in 1764. "Stephen Newbury, born between 1770 and 1780, died at the age of Ninety.

Have you heard of it and if so where could a copy be obtained? RESPONSE "History of Old Tennent Church," by Rev. Frank Symmes is sold by the Monmouth Battleground Historical Society for $25 + shipping, which I think ran about $7. It's a good book for research, but no index. ____________________________________________________________ PAGE I was wondering if you had any information on the family of Joseph Page and Margaret Robins. they were married on Aug. 26 1761 in Monmouth there children included: Joseph 1767 Samuel Jonathan William (rev) b 2 Sep 1772 Hannah 24 Nov 1779 Rebecca 1787 john 8 Sep 1794 all were born I believe in Monmouth co. the family moved to fayette co Pa somewhere between 1794-96 I think any information on there parents or children would be helpful I am unsure of Joseph Pages parents Margaret Robins parents were Samuel Robins and Margaret Page (very interesting in thought) RESPONSE: "GENEALOGIES OF NEW JERSEY FAMILIES" published by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. in cooperation with the Genealogical Society of NJ Vol. 2 Pg. 199 "A Genealogical Dictionary of NJ" compiled by Charles C.

RESPONSE: There is very little in my books (I looked in all of them) on the Parent/Parrent family. I did find the following on "a" William Parent, who seem to be two different men of two different eras. "HISTORICAL & GENEALOGICAL MISCELLANY" by John Stillwell, M.D. Vol. V, pg. 376: William Parant was a fellow bondsman of the widow Sarah White on the estate of her late husband, William White, of Freehold on Feb. 24, 1714/15.

John, William and Thomas Parent appear on the tax assessors rolls in 1758 in Upper Freehold. no acreage listed--acreages for men preceding them on the list were for 2 and 3 acres of land--this I add in case the no listing was because it was a duplicate of the preceding acreage. There was no explanation given for the no listings. pg. 234. John Parrent private in Continental Army in Captain John Walton's Troops Light Dragoons. pg. 237: Robert Parrent was a member of the Continental Army in Capt. Bruere's Company.

I am particularly searching for the names James, Rachel, Tenbroock, Jonathon, Richard, and Safety Patterson. RESPONSE: "COLTS NECK: OLD HOMES AND FAMILIES" by Elizabeth M. Thompson pg. 3. James Patterson m. Emma Sutphin, dau. of Edwin Rutherford Sutphin (1823-1896) and his wife Louise Brinkerhoff Stryker of Holmdel, who died age 87. None of the other names are found in the index. ____________________________________________________________ PATTERSON, SAFETY I am searching for any info on the family and ancestry of Safety PATTERSON and his wife Phoebe DAVIS, who married in Monmouth Co., NJ in the mid-1790s. They had sons: John, Sidney, David, Robert, William, and (Henry?). Safety is supposedly a descendant of James Patterson, who came to Monmouth Co. during the English Civil War and married Rachel Grover. I have yet to make the connection, however. He may be the son of James and Rachel (Stout) Patterson, or a brother of James. RESPONSE: I looked everywhere, but can't turn Safety. I did locate the children of James Patterson and Rachel Stout, and am including what I found on them to help eliminate people.

John married Susannah Whitlock and they may have had a son named William Pew born about 1707. RESPONSE: I found what I could on John and William (one old query that gives data). I can attempt to translate the Dutch record if you like, but that is your decision--I can't read Dutch, but there is a small translation dictionary at the start of the section. Check out the ear marks and the dates--not sure that's the same family, with the Sr. being later, but not familiar with this family. The "Jersey Genealogy" column ran in the early 1900s.

"HISTORY OF MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY" no author, published by Lewis Historical Publishing Company in 1922 vol. III, pg. 222-223 "William Pintard, an eminent member of the Monmouth county bar, 1878-1913, bore the name of his French ancestor, who in the days when religious persecution was rife in France fled from France and in time found a home in New Jersey, where he became a landowner and a prosperous farmer. By his wife Hannah, he had seven children. One of his descendants, Isaac Antoine Pintard, was born at Fair Haven, Monmouth county, NJ, September 29, 1821. He became a master mariner and during the war between the States, 1861-65, served in the merchant marine as an enlisted man. Captain Isaac A. Pintard married Catherine Minton and they were the parents of William Pintard, of Red Bank, to whom this review is offered as a tribute of appreciation and respect. He was a man of sterling character, a good lawyer and a citizen above reproach. "William Pintard, son of Captain Isaac Antoine and Catherine (Minton) Pintard, was born in Fair Haven, NJ, Feb. 20. 1851, died in Red Bank, NJ, Sept. 13, 1913. He was educated in the public schools of Red Bank and elsewhere, and later became a law student in the office of Governor Bedle, governor of NJ. Gov. Bedle practiced in Jersey City, and in 1878 Mr. Pintard was admitted to the NJ bar as an attorney. After his admission as a counselor in 1881, he practiced for two years with his preceptor's firm, Bedle, Muirhead & Magee, in Jersey City, then removed to Red Bank where he practiced his profession until his passing thirty years later. He was Learned in the law, skilled in its application and very successful. He gained public confidence, and his practice was large in all State and Federal Courts of the Monmouth district. He was a member of the Monmouth County Bar Association and of the NJ Bar Assoc., his standing among his brethren of the profession very high. "In politics Mr. Pintard was a Democrat, and in 1886 represented his district in the State Assembly. He was a colonel of the State Militia, and in 1880 was on strike duty in Jersey City under orders from Gov. Bedle. His fraternity was the Royal Arcanum of which he was a regent. He was the first president of the Mon. Boat Club, aided in the organization of that club, and was always a patron and lover of out-of-door recreation, especially aquatic sports. "William Pintard married, in Trinity Church, Red Bank, NJ, April 18, 1882 Ella Herbert Wardell, born in Long Branch, NJ, November 10, 1860, daughter of Edward and Sophia H.

Some of the schooners built there include the Predmore name i.e. Jeremiah Predmore - Angie Predmore - Hannie Predmore - and the sloops Flora Predmore - Those names refer to names of ships built. RESPONSE: There are no Predmores in "Descendants of Cornelius Thompson. . . ." Only one family is mentioned in "Colts Neck: Old Homes and Families," In future requests please list a specific person, with a time era and/or spouse to identify them.

Would be interested in anything you might find on these families. Predmore can also be spelled Pridmore or Prigmore too! RESPONSE: "HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MISCELLANY" by John Stillwell, M.D. Vol. III pg. 133 'Marriages Recorded at Freehold' 1810, Feb. 10. Mary Brown to Ephraim Predmore pg. 484 "Joseph Holmes, 222, married Anna Stout, born 1805; died 1889. Their daughter, Angeline, 316, died single; Benjamin Franklin, 318, married Martha E. Cranner, the widow Predmore, who had, by her first husband, two children, and by her second husband five Holmes children; the second wife of Benjamin F. Holmes was Charity Inman, living, in 1912, at Forked River, with thirteen of Benjamin F. Holmes' children." ____________________________________________________________ PRESTON/RUE Descendants of Cornelius Tomson/Thomson/Thompson of Manalapan Township, Monouth County, NJ by Elizabeth Makin Thompson My ancestor is Thompson Preston (b. 1790 NJ) who married Ellen Rue (b. 1797 NJ, christened at Tennent Church). Recently, we discovered that one of their children, Edgar Preston, was born 1831 at Black's Mill, NJ which I understand was a village in Manalapan Township. We have always felt that Thompson Preston's mother or grandparents were "Thompsons" but have never found any proof. My question is, "Are there any "Prestons" or "Rues" mentioned in the above book? Your help will be appreciated. RESPONSE: In the book there are two or three Rue marriages in the 1800's connected to this line and one Preston marriage, again, late 1800s. One does seem to be early enough to satify your request, but this family, (what little is noted about it) is probably not what you want. There were other Thompson families in the area. "DESCENDANTS OF CORNELIUS TOMSON/THOMSON/THOMPSON OF MANALAPAN TOWNSHIP, MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ," By Elizabeth M. Thompson Cornelius, b. @1746; d. 1841;son of John Thompson; m. Frances Gano. Their daughter Elizabeth married a ? Rue (no dates or locations given) The father John was b. 1734; d.1805 Hunterdon Co. I will give it to you as written: "John, son of John 4- of Perth Amboy (M/A); (issue 18gl)" John 4 is a son of Cornelius who spelled his name without the "h" or "p" and he was a member of old Tennent Church. He moved to Allentown. M/A= marriages 1665-1800 (Archives) ____________________________________________________________ PROBASCO My gggggrandfather was Abraham Probasco b.1737 at Millstone NJ. Abraham was a miller; owned and operated a grist mill at Colts Neck which was "still (1958) called Probasco's Mill" Do you know of this place and where the site is? I was raised in Freehold, FRHS class of 1958 and seem to recollect that this mill site was near the old Colts Neck Inn. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
