Rahway/Plainfield MM Burials
ALT date of death fr Martie Carreon is 1817 at Piscataway.
From http://www.plainfieldquakers.org/woodbrig.htm :
"The minutes of the October Monthly Meeting are largely occupied with the report of the sufferings of those who refused to bear arms or train with the militia between 1737 and 1760. From the list given we learn that twenty-three experienced the penalty of the law - the heaviest fine being imposed on Hartshorn Randolph. He valued the goods taken from him at 3 pounds, 16s. When Jacob Laing, who was fined 3 pounds, was brought before the officer, Col. Jacob Ford, he was asked what reasons he could give for refusing to accompany the expedition against the French. He answered that "he was principled against bearing arms against his fellow creatures." After several hours' detention he was permitted to go home - a distance of twelve miles."
1296. David Laing-5934
Friends' (Quaker) Graveyard - Quakertown, Franklin Township
"David Laing, Departed this life 4th month 19th 1855. In the 72nd year of his age." This is from website: http://geocities.com/bgmcdonough.geo/friends.htmBecause his birth year calculates to 1783, this burial is probably our David. The Laings were all Quakers. Other Laings listed beside David are listed below, but I don't know what their relationship might be:
Elizabeth Laing, Departed this life 10th mo 30 1865. In the 80th year of her age (this is possibly David's wife)
Rachel C. Laing, Died 1st. Month 19 1876, Aged 62 years
John A. Laing. Born 5th Mo 11th 1824. Died 6th Mo 20th 1901
676. Samuel Shotwell-2162
Samuel's birth was recorded in the Rahway/Plainfield/Woodbridge Monthly Meeting. Another researcher has said he found his birth recorded in Kingwood Monthly Meeting. The following was here noted because I could not find a Kingwood in Hunterdon County - but it was there in 1834.
Kingwood Township, Hunterdon County, NJ in 1834:
"Kingwood township, Hunterdon Co., bounded northeast by Lebanon, southeast by Amwell, west by the Delaware river, and northwest by Bethlehem township. Centrally distant west from Flemington 7 miles; greatest length northeast and southwest 17, breadth east and west 7 miles; area, 35312 acres; surface, hilly and rolling; soil, red shale, clay, and loam; in many places fertile and well cultivated. The tract known as the Great Swamp, extends on the top of the mountain into this township, and is alike remarkable for its fine timber and extraordinary fertility. The township is drained southwardly by the Laokatong creek. Baptisttown, Fairview, Dogtown, Charleston, and Millstown are villages and hamlets of the township; at the first there is a post office, and there is another office bearing the name of the township. Population in 1830, 2898. In 1832 there were in the township 4 stores, 7 saw mills, 7 grist mills, and 1 oil mill, 7 distilleries, 2 carding machines, 733 horses and mules, and 1347 neat cattle, above the age of 3 years; and the township paid state and county tax, $1323 75."

Robert Rushing received Land Grant No. 4197 issued January 22, 1773, by Josiah Martin, Royal Governor of the Colony of North Carolina. The grant was for 150 acres in Anson County on the lower side of Little Brown Creek, joining William's line, north of Haw Branch and a point near Johnston's line.
In 1778 Robert Rushing received land on Brown's Creek from William Rushing (Anson County Deed Book K, p. 470) "...the said William Rushing for diverse good causes and considerations him thereunto moving but more especially for and in consideration of the natural love and affection he bearith towards the said Rubert Rushing...." Witnesses were William Rushing, Jr., Noah Rushing, and Benjamin Jackson.
The heirs of Robert Rushing are shown in two deeds. The first is recorded in Union County Deed Book 4.

Signed: Stephen Huntley, Drucilla (x) Huntley. Witnesses: R. Rogers, B. E. Ashcraft.
Janie: I have not seen the sourced Bible record. This was the source that Bob Mitchell used.
An ALT d/o/d is given for Ira Ring at Find-a-Grave record created by M. J. Carroll of 4 Aug 1853. The source is not the tombstone inscription as it appears in the photo to be illegible. So the d/o/d could use some verifying documentation.
689. William Webster-5924
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler/memoirs/750-794.html
Memoirs of the Miami Valley pages 750-794"William Webster, who married Mary Marsh of New Jersey, and moved with their parents to Pennsylvania, coming to Ohio in 1806. On their arrival in this state they settled in Liberty township, Butler county, ten miles east of Hamilton, on a farm now owned by their grandson, Joseph H. Webster. William Webster had come to this locality in 1804 and secured a tract of 202 acres of good land, on which there had been made a ten-acre clearing, with a small log cabin and stable. In 1806 he drove through in a wagon from Pennsylvania with his wife, and not long thereafter commenced the erection of a frame house, one of the first in the locality. In addition to farming, he was the proprietor of a tannery on his property, owned a good deal of livestock, and was also the owner of land in Indiana, so that, for his time, he was considered a very successful man. He gave his children good educational advantages, several going to college, and his eldest son, Taylor, served in Congress for three terms. He [William] and his wife were Quakers and belonged to the Quaker meeting at Waynesville and Springboro. Mr. Webster died at the age of seventy-six years, while his widow passed away at the age of eighty-five."
Birth and death dates supplied by a descendant, Liz Webster. Her dates agree with his age at death as given in the above article. Note that the Waynesville Monthly Meeting was in nearby Warren County!
In the 1850 census for Liberty Twp., Butler Co., Ohio, Sarah age 34 is living with her 71 year old mother, Mary. In 1860 Mary is living next to her son's family, but is alone in the household.

Notes from "The Heritage of Wilkes County" pg 418:
"Daniel and Prudence moved to Indiana and finally settled in Henry County in 1812. Daniel used the Mississippi River to haul meat and other produce to New Orleans. On one trip he contacted malaria and died in 1823 before his last child was born. Daniel Jackson's 1823 will was witnessed by his brother-in-law, Moses Stanberry."Copied from the online record of Abstracts of Henry County, Indiana, Circuit Court Records available here:
http://www.hcgs.net/abstracts1823-1833.html
"Roll 38. Oct. 5, 1826. William Stansbury v. Prudence Jackson, John Anderson and wife Nancy, Asa Grewell and wife Malinda and the heirs and representatives of Daniel Jackson, decd."William Stansbury is the son of Prudence, who married Daniel Jackson. In 1810 or 1811 Stansbury, aged about 15, came to Indiana Territory with Jackson. Jackson "followed farming" and until June 1823 Stansbury worked for him without receiving any education. In return, Jackson agreed to enter 80 acres of land for Stansbury - did so in Feb. 1823, the east half of the northeast quarter of section 23 township range 9 east. In June 1823 Jackson gave Stansbury possession of the land.
"Jackson died Sept. 18, 1823, without making a deed. Jackson's nuncupative will does not mention the land. Jackson's heirs, in addition to above, are Mila, James, Salla, Eliza, Polly Lucinda, Patsey Mary, Betsey Cosena, John Harrison, and Daniel Jackson. Court finds for plaintiff and orders deed made for land. [Marriage bond for Daniel Jackson & Prudence Stanberry in Wilkes Co., N.C., Nov. 8, 1807]"

David Stanberry m Rachel Holman
Nathan Stanberry m Polly Allen
Moses Stanberry m Mary Elizabeth Snyder (Moses witnessed Daniel's will in Henry Co., IN in 1823.)

1332. Malinda Jackson-21098
Info from Harry Kane's rootsweb chart: Malinda and Asa had 12 children born in Iowa and one more, Henry, was born on the trail on the way to California.
Malinda and Asa's children are given here:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2541136.
Harry Kane said "Asa preceded his brothers to California."
His 13th child was born on the trail to California in 1849 so it appears that the California Gold Rush could have been the motivating factor for picking up the pregnant wife and 12 small children to move to California!
1339. John Harrison Jackson-21109
The following three marriage records have been found for Harrison Jackson. I, Janie, don't know yet if Daniel's son, Harrison, married all three women or if there were other Harrison Jacksons in Indiana at the time. These records were found at the data base at the Indiana State Library:
Last Name: Jackson
First Name: Harrison
Spouse- Last Name: Newman
Spouse- First Name: Roxana J.

James Jr. is listed as a member of the Three Forks Baptist Church when it was organized in 1799.
James Jr. is on the 1800 Census for the newly formed Ashe Co., NC.By 1810 the family was in Woodford, Kentucky.
The following was copied from ancestry.com Indiana/Counties/Tipton msg board posted by Linda Hancock in Jan 2006:
"Newton and Carter Jackson's parents, James and Martha Chambers Jackson, were natives of North Carolina, but they were so opposed to slavery that they had moved from Kentucky to Wayne County in 1812 when the Twelve-Mile Purchase came on the market. There they and the Robert Leavell family were neighbors; children of both families were among Tipton County's first land owners.' and it goes on. They both married Leavell sisters."1820 Census: Wayne Co., Indiana, brothers Ebenezer and Daniel living next door to one another.
James was a surviving son mentioned in his father's 1826 Will: " I also give to my son James Jackson Two Dollars, having had his part of estate."
1830 Census: Wayne Co., Indiana, James was between 50 and 60 years old.
Added by JMcAnally5258 <http://www.ancestry.com/community/member/profile.aspx?cba=JMcAnally5258> on 19 Aug 2008 The information from the "History of Wayne County Indiana" would seem to be conclusive proof that James Jackson died in Marion Co., Indiana but there is a James Jackson age range 50-60 on the Washington Twp., Wayne County Indiana 1840 census. Even more disturbing is that there are Beeson surname families living as near neighbors on this census. So, it must be considered as a conjecture that our James died in Marion Co., in 1840.
