One of the early settlers in Amwell Township was Nicholas Sayn, who partnered with Johann Peter Sniter to purchase 1300 acres of the old Haddon Tract in 1748. The partners divided the property between them, and Nicholas settled down and raised a family and farmed his large property. But his son William did not wish to carry on the work, so Nicholas bequeathed his from to his nephew Honis.
This family tree was published some time ago, and has been updated somewhat. Regrettably, the Sine family did not leave many records. There is a lot of missing a lot of information with this tree.
Surnames of spouses whose families also have trees on this website are highlighted in green. Children of daughters are listed, but not grandchildren. If you see mistakes or would like to add information, please provide corrections and additions to the comments section below or by email.
