| My GGGGrandfather, William Snyder, was married to Lucinda Search in Kingwood Twp., Hunterdon County, New Jersey on October 20, 1838 by Methodist minister Amos Merselles. I know nothing about the birth, parents, residence, death or burial of William. He and Lucinda had at least two children, Margaret (b. 1843) and Mary Lucy (b. 1852), who were raised in Kingwood by their grandparents William and Margaret Search. My GGGrandmother, Annora Josephine Wooton, sailed from Liverpool, England aboard the Sailor Prince (a Mormon chartered vessel) arriving in New Orleans November 20, 1848. Annora, her father Joseph, and her mother Ann Bailey Wooton appear on the 1850 Census in St. Louis, Missouri. When Annora died in the 1920s in Trenton, New Jersey, she had siblings in Camden, New Jersey. Any help on her siblings or parents? Ann Bailey (b. 1822) married Joseph Wooton in 1842 in Staffordshire, England. |
