Inventory1922My last post described the owners of the Moore Cemetery in Delaware Township. Now it’s time to take A Stroll Through The Moore Cemetery to see who is buried there.

Coming next: the history of the German Baptist Church, also known as the Amwell Church of the Brethren, also known as the Dunkard Church, one of the earliest churches in the county.

This photo was taken at the intersection of Bridge Street at the intersection with what was then River Road in Stockton, following a devastating fire on January 22, 1905. The lower left corner of the photo is believed to be the spot where the fire started.“With a blizzard raging, with the snow flying and the wind blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour, fire broke out in Davison’s general store at Stockton . . . at about 1 o’clock on Thursday morning, an overheated stove being the supposed cause,” reported the January 26 Lambertville Beacon.

Stanton Hammond, ca. 1912-1959. The drawings and tracings are recreated from county surveys and other land records, and show the change in land titles of individual properties over time. The bulk of the maps are from the Northern portion of Hunterdon County, NJ, especially Tewksbury and Lebanon Townships. There are larger and smaller maps from other areas as well. This collection would be of interest to anyone who wishes to research property land ownership in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, and to study the chains of property distribution over time.Many people who have conducted research in the Garden State for genealogy or history are familiar with the name of D. Stanton Hammond III. He is the gentleman who is chiefly remembered for his genealogical maps that documented change in land ownership over time.
