First Generation:
(1) Thomas Tomlinson (~1690 – ) & Joan Walsley
It is thought that the Tomlinsons came to Kingwood Township in Hunterdon County from Byberry in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
family trees
Fulper Family Tree
I think this is the first time I’ve prepared a tree and not found any second marriages. Given the mortality of young women in the 19th century, this is quite a surprise, and I suspect I am missing someone.
Dalrymple Family Tree
I decided to make a tree out of the information I have accrued so far to help me sort out relations in my article on The Locktown Hotel. I have not deeply studied this family, so there are certain to be mistakes and missing family members. As always, additions and corrections are welcome. Also, children of daughters will be listed, but not grandchildren.
Servis Family Tree
It was Isaac Servis (c.1770-1846) who inspired me to compose this Servis family tree. He was the earliest known tavernkeeper in the village of Locktown in old Amwell Township, and son of first generation George & Rebecca Servis.
I am certain there are mistakes and omissions in this tree, and will be happy to receive corrections and additions. Add them to the Comments section below or email me with your information.
Emery Family Tree
First Generation
(1) Peter Emery Sr. (1739 – 1798) & Catharine Apgar (~1743 – 1814)
Peter Emery was born in Lebanon Township, Hunterdon County to Conrad and Margreth Emery, immigrants from Wolfenbüttel, Germany.
Rea Family Tree
First Generation:
(1) Alexander Rea (1710 – 1771) & Sarah
Alexander Rea and his second wife Sarah were Irish immigrants who first appeared in Sussex County, New Jersey about 1752. They eventually settled in Kingwood Township, where Alexander died leaving property to his sons and money to his daughters.
James Wilson Tree
The Wilsons of Hunterdon County were multitudinous, just as were many other families of the 18th and 19th centuries. This is just one of the Wilson clans. There were others completely unrelated. As usual, I’ve tried to begin with the first of the family to settle in Hunterdon County. Children of married daughters are included, but not grandchildren. It’s quite possible there are mistakes; I am happy to receive corrections and additions, either through comments or email.
The Tunis & Eva Case Tree
First Generation:
(1) Tunis Hontis Case (1691 – 1772) & Eva Catharine Dubraucke (1695 – after 1774)
My apologies. On May 25, 2021, I found too many mistakes on this tree to let it stand any longer. Making corrections is going to take a lot of work, but I hope to be able to restore the tree before too long.
The Housel Family Tree
I first came upon the Housel family while researching early families and their properties in old Amwell Township. Later on, I found Ann Housel, wife of Flemington banker John C. Hopewell (see “One Man Makes a Difference.”) The family is a very old one in Hunterdon County.
Lair/Lare Family Tree
The second generation of this Lair Family tree came to New Jersey came from Germany in the mid-18th century, after the death of the patriarch in Lyons, France. The widow and her sons came to Hunterdon County in 1757, but settled in different places, one in the northern county and the other in the southern. The name is usually spelled Lair, but sometimes as Lare.
