About Me
- Marfy Goodspeed
- I have been a resident of Hunterdon County since 1976. My research business, Goodspeed House Histories, has taught me many things about early county residents, especially in my home town, Delaware Township. Many years on the Township Planning Board and as a member of the Delaware & Raritan Canal Commission have added to my understanding of historical geography.

Hi Marfy,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you at work. Your angle is a bit different than mine in research.
My family seems to have been in the Hunterdon County area since the mid 1600's.
I also have a blog site for all things Historical in Bloomsbury, Hunterdon County. I am posting tons of newspaper articles and looking for local participation in memories and information regarding the people I post.
Good luck and much success in the future on your blog.
You have contributed so much to maintain the local history.

MARFY: Hi Linda. I have visited your site, and enjoy it. (I'll add it to the links.)
ReplyDeleteYour approach, to collect information and publish it, is an important one. Me, I like to tell stories. We supplement each other.
Hi Marfy,
ReplyDeleteThis is your neighbor,Donna Gamberzky. Your research is so fascinating and I look forward to reading more about this great township!
Hi Marfy,
ReplyDeleteGreat to find your blog; I am very interested in local history and am descended from the Larison family of Hunterdon County. Thank you!

Thanks for this great addition to Hunterdon history. The George Fox connection is quite interesting. It also appears from your article that Geo. Jr. was acquainted with my ancestor Samuel Green and had my William Hoagland for an adjacent neighbor. (Now if only I could trace the 18th c. Hunterdon Warricks.)

Ron, I too am a Samuel Green descendant, and will certainly want to write about his family in the future.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting article, thank you for your research and time writing this fascinating story. I have been trying to trace my Smith roots, and it is possible that they were Quakers as well, originating in Burlington NJ and coming up to Hunterdon via Wrightstown, PA to the Asbury/Bethlehem Township area.

Thanks for filling this information in for me. My line is Charles Wolverton ( that you mention ), Joel, Gabriel, Job, William, William, Floyd, Harold, me.
ReplyDeleteI'm also descended from the Quick, Dilts, and Housel family in Hunterdon Cty. I'll be looking for your further reports.
