Bates Family

JStone1031 — 29 Jul 2008 9:02:12 GMT

I'm trying to find any information on the Bates family who lived in Waterford in the 1800's. My g-g-grandmother was Rebecca Bates and she was born 1831. I have been trying to locate her parents or a place where I can look at old records. There is a Bates Mill Road and Bates Cemetery in this area.

Norcross stagecoach, inn and store in Tansboro, NJ

bjfriis — 22 Feb 2008 5:06:20 GMT

Does anyone have any information or photos of the Norcross families of Tansboro, Winslow or Long-a-Coming(Berlin)?
some of them ran an inn/tavern, worked on the stagecoach line and had a small general store in the area.

In order to join the Historical Society of Win.TWP do you have to have lineage in Winslow? Or can you just want to learn more about the history of our township? I'd love to participate, but I am a first generation Sicklervillian :)

Cedar Log Inn in Blue Anchor

bjfriis — 22 Feb 2008 5:11:12 GMT

John Hider was the proprietor of the Cedar Log Inn in Blue Anchor in the late 1700s. Do any records of this inn exist?
Could anyone direct me to information on the descendents of John Hider. I believe a descendant of his, Caroline Hider married into the Shone family of the Blackwoodtown, Tansboro area.

Seeking local records information and assistance

lashru — 12 Feb 2008 9:18:44 GMT

Greetings, am in a quandary, in that I live in Washington state, so cannot do my own offline legwork.

I'm seeking birth records from Winslow, NJ, in 1849 ... have already dug around extensively in ancestry.com's website, but the particular person I'm seeking was given up for adoption in 1850 and so we have *no* records of his birth parents. His adoptive family more or less died off without successive generations I can contact for assistance.

I am trying to trace the birth parents of Jerome A. Albertson, born in Winslow NJ in 1849, and adopted by the Eldridges of Haddonfield, NJ, between 1850 and 1860. There is *another* Jerome Albertson enumerated in Winslow NJ in 1850, daughter of Samuel and ? Rachel? Albertson - this is definitely *not* the Jerome we seek.

I have a tentative birthdate for Jerome A. Albertson of April 1849, but there's been too much scrambling of the records by false assumptions to be sure of this.

Can anyone please tell me whether there were any township birth/baptism records kept for Winslow in 1849, and if so, where they might reside now? Unfortunately, I cannot determine whether Jerome was actually born in Winslow, or just somewhere in the 58 sq mi of "Winslow Township".

I'm also looking for anything that helps explain Jerome's being adopted out to the Eldridges... there are two women living very near the Eldridges in 1850, Ann Albertson, age 74, and Mary Albertson, age 41, in a household of two, no men. I surmise these *might* be Jerome's mother and grandmother, but there is of course no certainty.

Jerome might have been illegitimate, or might have been left fatherless sometime between 1849 and 1850, or might have been orphaned. Ann and Mary might be his great grandmother and grandmother, for Mary is old enough to have had a daughter or son old enough to have a child, or they might be just female relatives, or completely unrelated.

So: what we know definitively is: full name Jerome A. Albertson, born 1849, in Winslow, NJ; adopted by Thomas and Sarah Eldridge of Haddonfield, NJ; definitely not the female Jerome listed in Winslow in 1850 census.

(Female Jerome's parents appear to be Samuel and Rachel? Albertson, who also had sons Alford/Alfred, Carlton, and daughter Angeline - again, we are certain this is *not* the correct Jerome).

Any help gratefully accepted; research costs can be compensated if arranged in advance, please contact me.

Red Tower/Mast on RT. 73

Rich Buckman — 31 Dec 2005 7:02:55 GMT

Does anyone know the history of the red tower on RT. 73. It appears to be a closed radio station of some sort. I'd be interested in when it was built/closed and what purpose it served.
Thanks

Ware Sawmill

Frank Ware — 30 Jul 2006 10:57:01 GMT

My great Grandfather quit the railroad as a conductor and started milling. We have pictures of a mill he had in what we thought was the Berlin area. He eventually around the Batsto area. His sons worked the mills with him. I was wondering 1) If he was related to the Ware's is Sicklerville 2) If the sawmill could have actually been in the Sicklerville area?

VETERANS of the WAR of 1812

terryriw — 23 Mar 2005 3:45:56 GMT

This was posted on another Gen Society mail list and I thought that maybe some list members on this list might be interested in helping out.

=~= Project Announcement =~=

VETERANS of the WAR of 1812

The New Jersey Society of the War of 1812 has launched a project to
locate as many gravesites as possible of Veterans of the War of 1812
buried in New Jersey.

We are asking all Historical and Genealogical organizations to join with
us in this project by advising us of gravesites that they know or can
locate through their research. We also intend to contact as many New
Jersey cemeteries as possible to determine if they can provide any
information.

We are open to any and all suggestions concerning locations of
information that will assist with this project.

If possible, we hope to place a marker on each grave that can be
identified. Please provide the name of the Veteran, any military
information available about his service, the cemetery location (county,
city/town, and latitude/longitude), the location of the gravesite in the
cemetery and any gravestone or other information that is available.

We do not expect every gravesite discovery will have all the information
shown above, but we ask that the maximum information available be
transmitted to us.

Information can be sent to the address listed below as can any questions
or suggestions.

The Burnedoux estate (Bernadou) (Bernadous)

R. Maffei — 3 Dec 2004 8:01:55 GMT

During the late 40's, James Piason purchased a large tract of land between hay rd, Fleming Pike and 561, which had a large mansion and glass factory or barn located in the center of the property. There were exotic trees and shrubs on the property which people came from miles around to purchase because the land was being cleared for farmland. It is said that the (Bournadoux's) were instrumental in the developement of smokeless powder during or after the civil war. There is supposed to be in our local history(WINSLOW), a Commander Bournedoux, USS BOURNADOUX, and a Winslow Bournadoux.

Old Catholic Church in Winslow

R. Maffei — 3 Dec 2004 8:18:43 GMT

Directly across from the driveway of Winslow fire Co., was a Catholic Church situated on a lot approx. 35' by 75'. When it was active during the early 1900's, the HAY and BOURNADOU family took care of maintaining it. Later, the adjoining lot was purchased by James Piason who assumed the duties of maintaining the property. By the late 40's the church no longer was in service. The contents were taken by vandals over the years. At this time, nothing remains of the church.
