Research Resources

As noted in our September newsletter, MAGS President Bogert Holly has been leading tours of New York City research centers. If you are interested in joining a trip to the National Archives, NYG&B or NY Public Library, please contact Bo. It is very helpful to have a guide ac-quainted with NYC public transportation as well as a working knowledge of the facilities and collections.

The New York Public Library Main Reading Room and Central Research Library is at 5th & 42nd Streets, NYC. It is open Monday, Thursday & Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm; Tuesday & Wednesday 11 am to 7:30 pm.

The Library has an extensive library and a very helpful staff. Many abstracted and compiled records are readily available. However, because it is a crowded public facil-ity, it takes a great deal of time to get any books that are not located on the bookshelves, about 45 min. or more.

If you wish to use material from the Rare Book Room (Tues. & Wed. 11 am-5:45 pm; Thurs - Sat 10 am-5:45 pm) you must obtain in person a card of admission at the Office of Special Collections, Room 316. Each applicant must show traceable identification and supply the name & address of a non-relative who can verify the information on the application. Division staff will determine which specific materials will be made available for use. Again, make provision for a wait of 30 minutes or more. You can place orders by phone, fax or mail in advance if you know which materials you want. Some collections are stored off-site and require 48 hours advance notice.

The New York Genealogical & Biographical Society, 122 East 58th Street, NYC. Hours: Tuesday through Sat-urday, 9:30 am -5 pm. Membership for NYC residents is $60. per year, non-NYC residents $50; non-member daily suggested donation $15. The NYG&B was practically empty the day we visited. We had a personal introduction to the materials by the Librarian who was always available for guidance and help.

Non-members can browse through books in the non-member area; they can use the card and computer cata-logues to search for surnames, place names and names of national, ethnic , racial and religious groups. Material will then be retrieved by a staff member upon completion of a filled-out call slip.

Manuscripts, microforms and CD-ROMs can only be used by members. Members can also browse through the NYG&B's extensive genealogical and family history book collection. Because of the extent of information available, count on several trips to the NYG&B for research.

NEW ACQUISITIONS AT THE LIBRARY by John A. Sass

As you probably have heard by now, there are plans in Washington to close the National Archives, Northeast Division, at 201 Varick Street in New York City and the Mid-Atlantic Division in Philadelphia, sending most of its records to Baltimore and disbursing its microfilm collection among area libraries.

It is extremely important that you write (or fax) U.S. Archivist John W. Carlin, President Clinton, Senator Moynihan, Senator D'Amato, New York City Mayor Giuliani, Manhattan Borough President Messinger, and New York Governor Pataki.

Since the Northeast Region branch covers New Jersey and New York, it is also appropriate to write to Senator Lautenberg, Senator Toricelli and to New Jersey Governor Whitman as well.

You can obtain the names of your representatives, addresses, telephone and fax numbers from the New York State League of Women Voters' Citizens Information Service at 1-800-836-6975. Even of you do not use the National Archives, please help your colleagues who do. Please write those letters today. You can also sign the petition that is located at the Morristown Library Local History Department.

Here are the latest acquisitions at the library:

Early Church Records of Bergen County, New Jer-sey, 1740-1800, by F. Edward Wright, 1996, H3B1 WRI. This book is a compilation of material pub-lished sometime ago and is now out of print. The information it contains is limited to records prior to 1801 and is divided into three sections by church. The first section contains baptismal, birth, marriage, and death records, tombstone inscriptions and a list of church members from the Paramus Reformed Church. Similar records from the Waldwick Meth-odist Church (a.k.a. New Prospect Methodist-Episcopal Church) and the Ramapo Lutheran Church in Mahwah, NJ can be found in the remain-ing two sections. Indexed.

American Loyalists in Morris County, New Jersey, by Richard T. Irwin, 1996, HM-1 IRW. This book is not just a list of Morris County people that did not join the revolutionary cause, but rather a serious study of the varying ideologies and developments of the period. The main purpose of this publication is to identify any Morris County Loyalists active dur-ing the American Revolutionary War. Extremely well documented. Indexed.

Mayflower Families through Five Generations, Volume 9, The Family of Francis Eaton, revised by Robert S. Wakefield, 1996, H929.1744. This re-vised edition is based largely upon carefully re-searched articles in genealogical journals and family histories, together with probate and land records, and town and church vital statistics. New discover-ies in the twenty years since volume one was pub-lished, additional documentation and references have greatly increased the size of the family. Also, all lines are followed for five generations, even if they are joint with other "Mayflower" families. In-dexed.

Emigrants from Baden and Wurttemburg in the Eighteenth Century, Volume 1, by Brigitte Burkett, 1996, 11929.3 BUR v. 1. This book is a compilation of some 435 emigrant families and individuals from Baden and Wurttemburg who came to America in the eighteenth century. The German villages they left behind were located near the cities of Karlsruhe and Pforzheim on the northern edge of the Black Forest. Most of the emigrants identified in the book arrived in America between 1728 and 1754, and many have been identified on the Pennsylvania and Maine passenger arrival lists. Indexed.

Revolutionary War Period Bible Family and Mar-riage Records Gleaned from Pension Applications, Volume 17, by Chan Edmondson and John V. Sobi-eski, 1996, 11929.32 LU v. 17. This book contains abstracts of birth, marriage, and death records that appear on the pension applications. Widows' appli-cations were rejected for want of proof of marriage, so widows commonly cut or tore pages containing family records from Bibles, ledgers, journals, etc. to submit with their applications. This action by the widows unwittingly preserved countless family rec-ords for genealogical researchers.

The soldier's pension application usually contains information pertaining to his military service. While the widow's pension application may contain only proof of soldier's service and marriage data, many contain more genealogical information data on more than one generation and include several surnames. Therefore, the concentration of this book is directed to the widow's application.

The widow not only had to furnish proof of the sol-dier's service, but also other information This in-cluded her full name, age, place of residence, the date and place of her husband's death, and their marriage date and place. In many instances the widow could not provide the documented proof of Marriage as required by the Congressional act under which she was applying, but was able to prove she was married by the specified date by furnishing rec-ords that showed the date of birth of their first child. If the widow remarried after the death of the soldier, the application usually reveals the name of her sub-sequent husband(s).

Most of the material in this book was abstracted from Selected Records from Revolutionary War Pensions and Bounty-Land Warrant Application Files, 1800-1900. Indexed.

Plymouth Colony Records, Wills and Inventories, 1633-1669, Volume I, by C.H. Simmons, Jr., 1996, H929.1744 SBA v. 1 . This book is an attempt to collect the full text of wills and inventories from the original manuscript records of the Plymouth Colony. Includes a useful glossary of terms. Indexed.

Index to the 1885 New Jersey State Census for Morristown Morris County, New Jersey, compiled by John Andrew Saas, 1996, 11M.6 CENSUS 1885. This booklet contains an alphabetical list of all resi-dents who lived in Morristown, NJ in-1885, as well as the page number where their names appear on the original census.

The History of the Descendants of the Jersey Set-tlers of Adams County, Mississippi, by Ruth Fletcher Latham, 1996, H976.226 MIL. This book is a compilation of the history and genealogy of the Swayze and King families of New Jersey who founded the Jersey Settlement in West Florida, six-teen miles from the Natchez Fort, in 1773. Indexed.

Revolutionary Patriots of Delaware, 1775-1783, by Henry C. Peden, Jr., 1996, 11975.1 PED. This book contains genealogical and historical information about the men and women of Delaware who served the American cause during the war against Great Britain, 1775-1783. Each entry is documented from primary and secondary record sources. For most of the approximately 5,000 persons named within this publication there is genealogical data. This includes dates and places of birth, death and marriage, names of wives, husbands, children and other relatives, physical descriptions and occupations, as well as pension and probate information. Indexed.

Vital Records of Sandwich, Barnstable County, Massachusetts to 1885, compiled by Caroline Lewis Kardell and Russell A Lovell, Jr., 1996, 11974.4 VR SAND. The vital records (birth, baptismal, marriage and death) contained in this book were abstracted from a number of resources including the Plymouth Colony records, seven volumes of the Town Clerks' records held at the Sandwich Town Hall, surviving volumes of the First Parish Church, Quaker records and certain later church records, inventories of bur-ial markers in Sandwich, Sagamore and Bourne, obituaries that appeared in early Sandwich newspa-pers and local diaries and Bible entries.

Even More about the Byrams of Morris County

We received a letter from one of our members, Mrs. Mildred Dunham Van Dyke of Basking Ridge, NJ who has some more important information on the Byram family. (See MAGS Vol 8 # 2 & 3, June & Sept 1995 and Vol. 1 #2, June 1988).

As I was reading the magazine Count?), Living, I came across an article by a Certified Genealogist concerning colonial taverns that are still in use to-

day. One that caught my attention was The Black Horse Inn in Mendham built in 1742 and operated by my ancestor, Ebenezer Byram, Sr. The genealogist stated that anyone descended from Ebenezer Byram and his wife, Hannah Hayward, could trace their lineage back to John Alden and Priscilla Mullen. I have seen this mistake on numerous occasions.

I hope this will clarify the problem and help genealogists in the future. The distinction must be made be-tween Ebenezer, Sr. and wife Hannah Hayward and Ebenezer, Jr. and his wife Abigail Alden, the great grand-daughter of John Alden and Priscilla Mullens.

I am descended from Ebenezer's daughter, Abigail Byram who married Daniel Thompson, son of Joseph and Lydia Thompson of Mendham. I am also descended from Ebenezer's son, Japhet Byram (my D.A.R. ancestor) and his third wife, Elizabeth Tappan. After the death of Daniel Thompson from the Lung Fever in 1749, Abigail gave birth to a son, Daniel Thompson, Jr. Abigail then married Benjamin Pitney and had 12 more children. Daniel Thompson, Jr. was brought up in the Pitney household with his half brothers and sisters. I am a descendant of Daniel Thompson, Sr. and Abigail Byram Thompson Pit-ney and Phil Pitney is a descendant of Benjamin Pitney and Abigail Byram Thompson Pitney.

THE IRON ERA
