The Rockafellar family is enormous, and not just in Hunterdon County. Like many of my trees, this one features branches of the family that I have come across in my research. But there are many others I know little about. They have been left out until I learn more about them.
As all Rockafellar researchers know, the name had many alternate spellings, Rockafeller and Rockafellow being the most common. Incorporating all of them is too much, so they’re all Rockafellar here. You may notice that many of these Rockafellars had very large families. Perhaps it was a family trait. Jacob Rockafellar and Charity Snyder take the cake, with 15 children. Which is why, for now, I am not including the sixth generation.
Like the rest of my trees this one lists the children of daughters, but not their grandchildren. Also, a reminder that to find out what other families have trees published here, go to the Families page where names in caps indicate families with published trees.
This version of the tree is an update to one I first published and contains some additions and corrections. If you have any additions or corrections of your own, you are welcome to use the comments section or make use of the Contact page.
