Ocean County , NJ History

The information regarding this family comes from the publication of the Batsto Citizen's Committee, the Batsto Citizen's Gazzette, vol. XXXI, #4. Ellis Adams lived in Pleasant Mills in the early 1900s. He was married to Margaret McCoy, and together they were the parents of Margaret, Lillian, and Raymond Adams. I believe the source was an interview with a former resident of Pleasant Mills who was recalling some of the people that lived in Pleasant Mills when he was a child; I have at this time no other information on this family.

John Abbott, sr. is mentioned in the diary of Pleasant Mills resident Isa Leek; as she lived in Pleasant Mills there is a good chance that Mr. Abbott lived either in or near Pleasant Mills as well, although we can not be 100% certain just yet. He is mentioned in the diary as having died in September of 1907.

Just outside Pleasant Mills is St. Mary's Cemetery. The following Langtry family members are buried there; Langtry, Ann Died 29 May 1869, age 42; headstone erected by Michael Langtry; Langtry, Margaret, Died 28 May 1868, age 50

He is mentioned in the diary as having died in September of 1907. It's not known if he is related to another family from the Mullica region, that of John L. Abbott of Nesco. John lived from 1875-1946, and he was married around 1900 to Henrietta Taylor (7 Feb 1875-1954). (She was the daughter of William B. Taylor and Mary Ella Crowley). John and Henrietta were the parents of: William T. Abbott (20 Mar 1901--). He married Deborah Brown about 1821 Thomas S. Abbott (27 May 1902--) He married Helen Gaskill about 1922 (daughter of H. Howard Gaskill), and was the father of another John Abbott, who married Kathryn Tweedie. Eva S. Abbot (21 May 1904-5 Jun 1944), who married Zay T. Davis about 1930.

According to the Batsto Citizen's Gazzette, vol. XXXI #4, Annie and William Heineke were a brother and sister who lived in Pleasant Mills around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. I haven't come across these names anywhere else in that part of the world, so I'm curious where they came from and how long they stayed in the area.
