My most recent article was the first part of a history of the owners of adjacent farms surrounding the old Hart-Taylor Cemetery. Part One ended with the person who owned both farms, Gideon Moore, Sr., who died in 1840, after bequeathing his two farms separately to two of his sons, William H. Moore and Jacob D. Moore.

The Carrell Family Tree
The Carrell family of Hunterdon County begins with Daniel Carrell and Elizabeth Arnwine. Daniel was the son of James & Sarah Carrell of Tinicum, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He was born there, but in 1809 he settled on land in Delaware Township, the same year that he married Elizabeth Arnwine, when he was in his 40s. For more information on the Carrells of Bucks County, see Ezra Patterson Carrell, The Descendants of James Carrell and Sarah Dungan, his wife, Hatboro, PA, 1928.
Elizabeth Arnwine was the daughter of John Arnwine, Sr. and Elizabeth Opdycke, and therefore the granddaughter of John Opdycke, Esq. and Margaret Green. The Arnwine Family Tree is also published today.

Poulson Family Tree
Rev. Israel Poulson was one of those people with enormous influence on those who lived anywhere near him. He must have been fairly charismatic, considering how many people who were named after him. There are ten that I am aware of, not including his son Israel P. Poulson, Jr.
Israel P. Waterhouse (c.1800-?)
Israel P. Brewer (1818 – 1852), grandson
Israel P. Wagner (1829-1852), grandson
Israel P. Hoppock (1830-1895)
Israel P. Poulson (1843-1923), grandson
Israel P. LaRue (c.1850-?)
Israel P. Williamson (1850-1932)
Israel P. Trimmer (1854-1888)
Israel P. German (1857-1863)
Israel P. Huffman (c.1861-1944)
Israel P. Shepherd (1863-1953)
Israel Poulson, Sr. did not become minister to the Amwell German Baptist Church, known as the Dunkards, until about 1810, when he was 40 years old. His first appearance in Hunterdon County land records is in 1801, when he gave Abraham Hagaman a receipt for construction of a house and barn.1
His first wife was Esther Moore, daughter of Daniel Moore and Catharine Stout. She died childless, shortly after her marriage, when she was only 24. Poulson’s second wife Hannah Moore was Esther’s step-sister, daughter of Daniel Moore and his second wife Elizabeth Rouser. She and Israel Poulson married in 1797.

Footnotes:
Owners of the Hart-Taylor Cemetery
There are two ways of writing about a cemetery. One is to portray the people buried there, which I attempted to do in my previous article. The other is to relate how the cemetery came to be—in other words, the history of the property where the cemetery is located. It usually makes sense to focus on the place since many of its early owners were buried in the cemetery. At first I thought that in this case, none of them were. But, research has changed my mind.
A Fisher Family Tree
I have not thoroughly researched the Fisher family. This information comes primarily from my encounters with them while researching other families. You will notice many question marks in the dates. There are huge gaps in this tree, partly due to my lack of knowledge of the Fishers in Hunterdon County, partly due to their being so ubiquitous in the County, and partly due to the fact that so many of them moved away. It also did not help that the early Fishers often seem to have avoided recording their land purchases and wills.
The Hart-Taylor Cemetery
Twice in his career, Egbert T. Bush wrote about a small family burying ground in Delaware Township. The first time was in 1911, in a paper presented to the Hunterdon County Historical Society which was later published in the Hunterdon County Democrat. This was many years before Mr. Bush became a regular contributor to the Democrat.1
The Lambert Tree
The Lambert family was very prominent in old Amwell Township in the 18th and 19th centuries, beginning with John Lambert and Abigail Bumstead who came to Hunterdon County from Stonington, Connecticut about 1745, and settled in Kingwood Township. John Lambert’s ancestor, Francis Lambert, came to Salem, Massachusetts in 1638, but this tree will deal only with John and Abigail’s children and descendants.
The Lawshe House
Quite some time ago, I wrote an article called “Going-Going- Gone” about houses that are disappearing or have disappeared. One of them was a mystery to me. But finally I have figured out who it belonged to.
The Lawshe Tree
The Lawshe family came to America from Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany. Abraham von Laaschet was born in Creyfeldt, Prussia. (The name was Anglicized to Lawshe.) He married Margaret Bechelsheimer, daughter of Elder John Bechelsheimer, minister to the fledging German Baptist congregation in Amwell Township. The Lawshes appear in connection with the church several times in the book A History of East Amwell, 1700-1800.
