Jervis family of Batsto

 This surname comes up quite a bit when researching the Batsto area. The table below lists the some of the census data I have gathered concerning this family.

Census Year	House #	Family #	Surname	Given name	Age	Birthplace	Occupation
1850	171	177	Jervis	Samuel	35	NJ	laborer
				Sarah Ann	35	NJ
				Levi	13	NJ
				John	12	NJ
				Louisa	10	NJ
				Levi W.	5	NJ
	Walter	9 mos.	NJ

				Emeline	28	NJ	keeping house
				Louisa	6	NJ
				Josephine	4	NJ
	20	20	Jervis	Walter	19	NJ	laborer

I believe very strongly that the family at the top of the table lived in Batsto in 1850; I am still uncertain about the residency of the other Jervis families.

The following Jervis names appear in the Pleasant Mills Cemetery.
Jervis, Emeline.............wife of Levi...1839-1896
Jervis, John.................15 Reg NY eng Corps......1838-1915
Jervis, Levi...................Husband of Emeline.......1833-1896

• The 1860 Census also makes mention of a Susanna Jervis who died of 'fits' on 7 June 1859; I have not found her on the 1850 census and I have no idea who she is or how she is related to the others.
• There was also a Jervis family residing in Pleaant Mills, according to the Batsto Citizen's Gazzette, vol. XXXI # 4. It consisted of Fred and Martha and their children, Charles, Mary Ella, and William. They resided in Pleasant Mills early in the 20th century. Martha's maiden name was Reed; her father, William, lived with the family.
