The family of Samuel Green and Sarah Bull were among the earliest settlers of Amwell Township in Hunterdon County. The part of Amwell they lived in became Delaware Township in 1838. Their descendants were important to the town\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s history, and married into other notable local families. Because this one family had such an impact, I thought it appropriate to list them all, or at least down to the great-grandchildren of Samuel and Sarah\u201a\u00c4\u00eeall 154 of them. Each of their four children had an astounding number of grandchildren: 21, 50, 31 and 52.<\/p>\n

I was interested to know what became of them. Many stayed in Hunterdon, and some moved on. I have designated the primary residence, whenever possible. Since many of them lived in several places, I chose the last known residence. As best as I can tell, out of the 154 great grandchildren, at least 89 remained in Hunterdon County, and 65 either moved on or are unaccounted for.<\/p>\n

I have arranged this list by generations in order to identify contemporaries. This can be very useful information when several people act together on something for no apparent reason. Family connections always count for a lot.<\/p>\n

There are omissions in this list, and no doubt some mistakes. I hope that readers who spot them will share what they know.<\/span><\/p>\n

The numbering system may seem a little odd, but that is because allowance is made for the children of Samuel Green by his first wife, Margaret Kemp. However, since I have not included the grandchildren from this marriage (Samuel Green Jr. and Abba Light), the third generation numbering is not technically correct. Please consider the ID numbers as merely identification guides for this particular article.<\/p>\n

I have only included four generations, but that is quite enough, thanks to those exponentially large 18th century families. To find someone you’re looking for, it’s best to use your browser search function rather than the search box on this page.<\/p>\n
