    G.C. I have been looking on Ancestry again,I know your not fond of it but thats all I have to work with at the moment.Every thing I find on Him says he died in Pemberton in 1829.If this is true batsto would be quite a ways to haul a dead body in a wagon back then.It would be at least a two day...

    Garoutte Tavern in Historic Pleasant Mills, New Jersey

    I really don't understand why He would be from Pemberton and yet He lived in the Pleasant Mills area and is possibly buried there and yet He may have ended up in Estellville? All of these places are quite some distance from each other.Each is probably a good two maybe three day horse ride from...

    The furthest west any of my ancestors went is Kentucky.I do have cousins that were pioneers and went all the way to California on my Sparks Line at least. California is a big state,are you up north in Redneck Country or down south in the Blue Zone? Honestly let me give Estellville another try...

    Garoutte Tavern in Historic Pleasant Mills, New Jersey

    I know that often folks will have a dead end at a woman who is referred to as so and so's wife but no one knows her maiden name so if it's early enough some folks will assume she was an Indian but this is often not the case.On the other hand I have seen other people get right down nasty over...

    Even have four grandfathers that supposedly hooked up with Indian women.One Cherokee,One Shawnee a Wampanoag daughter and one I know not which.Problem with Indians is they had very poor documentation:-) The Cherokee seems to be the best chance at being legit.Problem is half of the geneaologists...

    No one descends from George Washington.He had no legitimate kids though his wife Martha Custis I believe had kids by an earlier marriage. I am apparently cousins too Him though since my 9th great grandfather was Augustine Warner and he was also Georges great grandfather. Also cousins to...

    Dangerous booby-traps found along a popular North Jersey trail

    And how does He reason that he is actually getting revenge on a dead person? I mean He's 70. It won't be that long and he can confront him in person and tell Him He wants his money back.The guy will say " do you really think I could bring it with me?"

    no doubt some of the stuff I sent you is repeats.Sometimes it's hard to remember one page from the next.Sift through it and see if anything there is something you might need.I may get to take a ride to the other cemetery tomorrow if you think thats the right place.He does appear to have spent...

    Garoutte Tavern in Historic Pleasant Mills, New Jersey

    I did not find the stone.I need a strong light for contrast and more time.I ran over the whole graveyard but many of the stones are uninscribed or illegible. I wore sandals and paid dearly.The graveyard is landscaped in prickly pear.Very robust Prickly pear I might add.Momma heard me howling...
