To Wilson,
Have you done much research on the Hull family? My line is Isaac Hull Jr.
married Massie Vaughn in Sussex co, NJ (others say Middlesex co, NJ, just
not sure which). Their daughter Massie Hull married John Rardin Jr in PA.
Massie Hull Rardin died 13 March 1823 in Pendleton co, KY. John Rardin Jr
died 12 Feb 1835 in Pendleton co, KY. Massie Hull's brother, Rev Samuel
Hull, was born in Somerset co, NJ (so they say, I'm not sure). Rev Samuel
Hull died in Vigo co, IN 14 Sep 1857 in Vigo co, IN. He donated the 1st 4
acres of land to start the Hull cemetery in Vigo co.
I have never found where John Rardin Jr and Massie Hull were married but
John was born near Harris Ferry (Harrisburg) PA and lived in Allegheny co,
PA before moving to KY.
Any information you have to shed some light on this would be appreciated.

My ancestor, John Brown, was among the group of 50 or so families
that
settled Newark, NJ in 1666-67, and I am familiar in general with many of
the families. There is indeed a Brown-Tichenor marriage, but it is not,
it appears in your direct line.
Morris, NJ. is a county, created in the 1730s from Hunterdon County.
It lies to the west of Essex County (where Newark is), separated by the
Passaic River. Its county seat is Morristown, where George Washington
headquarterted in the early and late years of the Revolution. It would
appear that the town you want is Mendham, west of Morristown on Rt. 24,
an east-west route following an old Indian trail. A query on the Morris
County Rootsweb site generally brings a quick and accurate response.
I did a quick-and-dirty search on
Ancestry.com and found about 45
references to a Peter Tichenor. As usual, some of these are just copied
from other people's genealogies, some are fanciful and some appear quite
good. Check to see which ones have references (little icons show what
they have). The one that rings most true, is one by Patrick Harrington
that turned up on the second page of references. That one takes the
line back to Martin Tichenor as I would suspect. Interestingly, Peter's
mother was a Byram (a line that has also been traced). The first NJ
Byram was a minister (Peter, I think) and settled at Mendham. Many
Newark families moved to Morris County after about 1750. The county had
(and has) better farm land than Newark, and was higher and less mosquito
ridden. Find the Harrington genealogy and work through his references.
Then query the Morris County website.
Interestingly, the Hull family, some of whom also settled briefly in
Vigo county, were also from Mendham, although via Ohio, not Kentucky.
What do you have on the Barcus family? That is my daughter-in-law's
family line, through her son Alex Montgomery?
