Albert Andress, Obit, 2010

2010-02-21T22:07:00.002-05:00

On February 3rd, 2010, Albert Andress, the last of my grandfather's siblings passed away. He was eighty-six years old. Below is his obituary from The Pocono Record, Stroudsburg, PA
----------

Albert R. Andress, 86, died peacefully Wednesday, Feb. 3, at Doylestown Hospital surrounded by his family. He was the husband of the late Jean (Safin) Andress, who passed away in 2001.

Born in East Stroudsburg, he was the last surviving of nine children of the late William S. and Celesta Siptroth Andress.

He was a printer at Hughes Printing Co., East Stroudsburg, for 44 years.

He was active in the TKE fraternity, where he was an honorable TKE.

He and his wife enjoyed their interactions with the fraternity while they lived in East Stroudsburg. They moved to the Central Bucks area in 1983. He then took a job delivering medicines for a pharmacy to various nursing homes from the Lehigh Valley to Philadelphia. He retired in 1994 when his wife became ill with Alzheimer's disease.

He was an active member of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, Bedminster, where he enjoyed going to church on Fridays to fold bulletins with other volunteers.

He was very outgoing and social with everyone. You could always hear him whistling and he would greet you with a big smile and that "Albert" grin. He also enjoyed an occasional pipe while watching the birds that would come to his many bird feeders. He was a "walker" and loved to walk every day before he became ill. He would stop and visit the police and township administration along with others in the neighborhood as he continued his journey every day. He had many coffee stops along the way.

He is survived by his three children, Alice Anne Babinetz and her husband, Joseph, and their son, Alex, William S. Andress and his wife, Marilyn, and their granddaughter, Maria Lucas, and Kathleen S. Keiper and her husband, Tim, and their children, Kayla and Tyler and his fiancee, Kerry Possinger. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

He was everyone's favorite "Uncle AI" and had many friends that he considered "family."

Relatives and friends are invited to his viewing from 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 8, at Reed and Steinbach Funeral Home, 2335 Lower State Road, Doylestown. A second viewing will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 9, at William H. Clark Funeral Home, 1003 Main St., Stroudsburg. A funeral service will be held 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 10, at William H. Clark Funeral Home, where the public may pay their respects after 10 a.m., prior to the service. Interment will follow in Stroudsburg Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers contributions in Mr. Andress' name may be made to the charity of donor's choice.

From http://www.ancestry.com/

Aylia Wortman was the wife of Jacob Andress of Beattystown

2008-09-27T15:10:00.007-04:00

Thanks to a tip from Maryann of Boston I was led to the following publication and to a nice clue on the trail of Jacob Andress of Beattystown. I’ve suspected, without hard evidence that Mrs. Woertman was the second wife of Jacob. It also appears that Mrs. Woertman was previously married. I still don’t know who her parents were, but her first name is now revealed.

From A Genealogy of the Van Voorhees Family in America of the Descendants of Steven Coerte Van Voorhees of Holland, and Flatlands, L. I. by Elias W. Van Voorhis, published by G. P. Putnam’s Sons, The Knickerbocker Press, in 1888, on page 391 is the following information:

Johannes, the son of Lucas Voorhees and Hilletje Vanderbilt, was “bap. Feb. 6, 1763, d. . . . . . ; m. Aylia Wortman, b. . . . . . ; d. Jan. 20, 1822 (she m. 2nd . . . Andress). He removed about 1786 from New Brunswick, N.J,. and settled near Wilkesbarre, Pa., where he died ; after his death his widow settled at Beattystown, N.J., where she married her second husband.” Johannes Voorhees and Aylia Wortman had the following two children: John, bap. Mar. 5, 1786, and Albert, b. Dec. 28, 1786.

There’s no doubt that Aylia Wortman was the wife of Jacob Andress of Beattystown and the mother of Elizabeth, Peter, Joseph and Hampton Andress. For more information on Jacob Andress please read Who Was Jacob Andress of Beattystown?

UPDATED: 12 Oct. 2008

A few days after I posted the above information Maryann sent me a copy of page 762 from Florence A. Christoph’s The First Eight Generations of the Van Voorhees Family. The page contains a little bit of information about Alyia Wortman the mother of Albert Voorhees: There is a photocopy of a page of a family bible held by the Van Voorhees Association. There is an entry in the bible that reads “Allie Anders his mother” died 20 Jan. 1822. 1982 correspondence with Claire Swanson of Hackettstown, NJ, indicates that Claire’s mother remembered visiting the Andress family in Penwell, NJ (near Beattystown) and that Albert’s mother’s name was Olivia Andress. Also mentioned is the 1939 membership application to the Van Voorhees Association by a great-grandson of Albert by the name of Charles Voorhees Hults. Charles wrote that Albert was the son of Johannes Voorhees and Aylia Wortman.

Jacob Andress Middlesworth

2007-12-08T12:15:00.003-05:00

Jacob Andress Middlesworth was born 20 Sept. 1819, in Hope Twp., Warren Co., NJ, to James L. and Euphemia Middlesworth. On 15 July 1848, Jacob married Catherine Wintermute. Born 24 Nov. 1817 she was the daughter of Peter Wintermute and Catherine Snover. In the same year of their marriage, 1848, Jacob and Catherine moved to Schooley’s Mountain, Washington Twp., Morris Co. NJ, and had their first child, Maria, soon after. In 1849 or 50 they had their second child, Jehu. Maria died 17 March 1856 at age eight. Jacob died 07 June 1883. Catherine died 11 Dec. 1891. Jehu never married and died after the age of eighty.

Was Jacob Andress Middlesworth the grandson of Jacob Andress of Beattystown?

At this point of research three documents uncover the following links:

(1) Joseph Andress Jr., grandson of Jacob Andress of Beattystown, lived, for a short while, with Jacob Andress Middlesworth at Schooley’s Mountain.

(2) Jacob Andress Middlesworth was the son of James L. Middlesworth and Euphemia Middlesworth.

(3) James L. Middlesworth was associated with Joseph Andress and Peter W. Andress (sons of Jacob Andress of Beattystown.)

First, according to the 1850 federal census Jacob Andress Middlesworth was a merchant living in Washington Twp., Morris County. Living with Jacob was a clerk, Joseph Andress, age 21. Joseph was the son of Peter W. Andress, born 19 Jan. 1829, and grandson of Jacob Andress of Beattystown. Joseph’s 29 July 1887 obituary from The Belvedere Apollo includes the following insight: “In early life he acquired good business habits and when quite a young man opened a store for himself at Schooley’s Mountain.”

Second, Euphemia Middlesworth of Hope Township wrote her Will 11 April 1844. Her estate inventory was recorded 13 April 1847. After ordering her debts to be paid, Euphemia gives “to my son Jacob A. Middlesworth of Stillwater . . . . all of my property and estate” She then appoints him Executor of her Will. Witness to her Will were John L Silverthorn and another person whose name is illegible. John L. Silverthorn and Abraham (?Truse?) were appraisers of her estate’s inventory.

Third, James L. Middlesworth of Oxford Township wrote his Will 22 Nov. 1826. His estate inventory was recorded on 02 Jan. 1827 and his Will probated on the 6th of Jan. Witness to his Will were Samuel Hudson, Isaac R Newman, and Daniel Mixell. The Executor of the Will was Abraham Newman. Appraisers of the inventory were James Dewitt and Daniel Mixell. In his Will James gives to his “dear wife Effami Middlesworth” a number of household items and the “house and lot in the village of Hope.” In the Will he doesn’t name his children, but mentions that they were under age. Included with the estate inventory is a Book Account which lists the debts of about eighty persons. “Joseph Andrews, $4.26” and “Peter Andrews, $2.62” are included in that list.

The parents of Jacob Andress Middlesworth were probably born around the turn of the century. Perhaps a record will never be uncovered to prove the claim, but I suspect that Euphemia Middlesworth is actually the daughter of Jacob Andress of Beattystown. In my 29 May 2007 posting entitled “Who was Jacob Andress of Beattystown?” I attempted to show a connection between the Andress family and the Ayers / Longstreet family. If the claim is correct about Jacob’s first marriage to Elli Longstreet Ayres, it is interesting to note that Elli’s mother’s name is Euphemia. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence.

Beers, pages 199 & 200, http://www.distantcousin.com/Other/NEPABio/Pages.asp?Page=0199: William Snyder of Stroud Township “had six children, all by his first wife: (1) Eliza, born September 2, 1853, at the homestead, married Hampton Andress of Stroudsburg, and has six children, Edward, Emma, William, John, Clarence, and Roy.” ( NOTE: Clara is missing from this list of children, and an Edward is included. Is this Edward the son of Emma Andress Lawson? I don’t think so. Edward R. Lawson wasn’t born until about 1901. If he was born at the time of this publication he would have been an infant and probably identified as the son of Emma who was still living. Did Hampton and Eliza have a son Edward? If so, he is not identified in other records, except possibly John‘s 1909 obituary. The obituary mentions as a survivor John’s brother Edward. This may or may not have been a reference to Edward R. Lawson. By 1909 Edward R. Lawson was living with his grandparents, his mother Emma having died in 1904. Notice that on the 1900 census Eliza states that she was the mother of seven children and that six were yet living. On the 1910 census she states that four children are yet living. Three of the four are obviously William, Clarence, and Roy. Is the fourth Edward? I recall my grandfather telling me that he considered Ed Lawson an uncle; that Edward was raised as a sibling of William, Clarence, and Roy. If there is an Edward Andress, son of Hampton and Eliza, I don‘t know what became of him.)

JOSEPH ANDRESS JR, son of Peter, was born 19 Jan. 1829. He was a well-known merchant. He owned the mansion in Hainesburg which throughout the years has been a landmark of the region. Joseph died, unmarried and without children, 22 July 1887, and is buried in Marksboro Presbyterian Churchyard.

SOURCES & NOTES:

29 July 1887, Belvedere Apollo, page 2: “ANDRESS -- July 22d, at Hainsburgh, Joseph Andress, aged 58 years, 6 month and 3 days.” page 3: “Obituary -- Joseph Andress -- After a sickness of some years, Joseph Andress, one of the best known and successful business men in the northern part of the County, died at his home in Hainesburg on Friday morning last, in his fifty-ninth year. Mr. Andress was a son of Peter Andress, and was born near Paulina in 1829. At the early age of eight years he left home to clerk in a store for an uncle at Middleville, then known as “Gin Pint,” in Sussex County. In early life he acquired good business habits and when quite a young man opened a store for himself at Schooley’s Mountain. He soon returned, however, to Middleville, where he conducted the mercantile business successfully for some time. It is said that when he went to Hainesburg twenty six years ago he had a capital of $7,000. Here he did a large business and made money rapidly. Some eight years ago his robust constitution gave way and he was compelled to give up active business. Having acquired a large amount of real and personal property he gave it his attention and managed it with his rare financial ability. At the time of his death, he owned several hundred acres of land both in Warren and Sussex counties. He had three large farms in Sussex County. His wealth is estimated at from $70,000 to $100,000. He had an insurance on his life which amounted to about $8,000. He was never married and for some time past his married sister, Margaret, has kept house for him. There are six heirs, three brothers and three sisters: Roderick B., Jacob and William and Mrs. Drake Mann, Mrs. Frank Transue and Margaret. Mr. Andress was a public spirited man and contributed liberally to objects which commanded themselves to his judgment, the Methodist Church of Hainesburg being one of these. In politics Mr. Andress was a pronounced Republican. The funeral took place on Tuesday. The remains were buried in the Marksboro cemetery.”

NOTE: The 1850 census is the only reference that I’ve found of Elsey Ann Andress. In 1850 she was age eight, placing her birth ca. 1842. I have included her on this register as the daughter of Peter and Sarah. It’s possible that the Elsey Ann listed on the census is actually Peter’s daughter Alice A. She was born in 1842 and I’ve not located her elsewhere in 1850. However, Elsey may, in fact, not be Peter’s daughter but the daughter of Jacob Anders and Amy Stenabaugh of Oakland Township, Brant Co., Ontario, Canada. Jacob’s daughter Elsie was born ca. 1842. Jacob was the son of William Anders and Priscilla VanSickle. Jacob’s twin sister was also named Elsie. Could the naming of the twins have been in honour of Elsey Longstreet Ayers who died in 1791, the supposed first wife of Jacob Andress of Beattystown? I’ve speculated that the two families (Andress of Warren Co., New Jersey and Anders of Brant Co., Ontario) are related but have yet to locate a source to prove so.

Introduction to the Andress Family Register

2007-06-18T23:19:00.000-04:00

First I must thank all the family members and fellow researchers who have assisted me in this project. Most importantly I have to thank my late grandfather, John David Andress Sr, who led me on my journey into our history but a few years before his passing away.

Over the following months I intend to complete each of the twenty-two chapters of the Andress Family Register. Hopefully, I can do so without interruption. Each chapter will include as much information on each of the family members that can be confirmed using primary and secondary sources. I may occasionally include information that I haven’t personally confirmed, such as that which is collected from other researchers or descendants, or publications. When I do I will identify it as unverified in the Sources & Notes section of each chapter. When listing the sources, occasionally, if the document is extensive, I may include only extracted information. Otherwise I will transcribe the full document. If I extract only the vital information for this register, it is my intention, at a later date, to include on Andress Antiquities the full transcript. Also, if I overlook a source or at a future date locate a new source that further confirms already known information, I may just add the information to the family’s existing chapter by editing instead of adding it elsewhere.

There are four main branches of the Andress family included in this register. These are the four children of Jacob Andress of Beattystown who were born between 1798 and 1807. Each descendant will not receive an identification number, which is common practice for genealogical registers. Instead I have organized each chapter with a two number heading. The first number of each chapter’s heading is to identify the main branch. The second number is used to organize the sub-chapters. The sub-chapters will be used to record the families of the children of (2-1) Peter, (3-1) Joseph, and (4-1) Hampton. In the case of (3-5) Hampton W. Andress, I have included an additional chapter for each of his three sons. This should be sufficient since this is a rather short register of less than two hundred descendants. The following is my intended table of contents.

(1-1) Elizabeth Andress Skinner, daughter of Jacob

(2-1) Peter W. Andress, son of Jacob
(2-2) Roderick Byington Andress, son of Peter
(2-3) Joseph Andress Jr., son of Peter
(2-4) Mary Elizabeth Andress Mann, daughter of Peter
(2-5) Margaret M. Andress, daughter of Peter
(2-6) Theodore H. Andress, son of Peter
(2-7) William S. Andress, son of Peter
(2-8) Alice A. Andress Transue, daughter of Peter
(2-9) Jacob S. Andress, son of Peter

(3-1) Joseph Andress, son of Jacob
(3-2) Sarah H. Andress Teel, daughter of Joseph
(3-3) Marshall H. Andress, son of Joseph
(3-4) Harriet D. Andress Lanning, daughter of Joseph
(3-5) Hampton W. Andress, son of Joseph
(3-5 A) William Snyder Andress, son of Hampton W.
(3-5 B) Clarence L. Andress, son of Hampton W.
(3-5 C) Roy Lewis Andress, son of Hampton W.

(4-1) Hampton Andress, son of Jacob
(4-2) Ariminta Andress Northrop, daughter of Hampton
(4-3) Oscar A. Andress, son of Hampton
(4-4) Theophilus Hunt Andress, son of Hampton

Who was Jacob Andress of Beattystown?

2007-05-29T20:42:00.000-04:00

According to the 1861 Knowleton Twp. death return of Peter W. Andress his father was Jacob Andress. His mother’s name is not stated. According to Elizabeth Skinner’s 1880 death record from the NJ Bureau of Vital Statistics her father was Jacob Andress. Her mother’s maiden name is recorded as Workman, with her first name omitted. It also states that Elizabeth was born in Beattystown. The 1874 Hardwick Twp. death return of Joseph Andress does not state his parents’ names, but does record his birth in Warren County. An 1875 death return for Hampton Andress has not surfaced. William Armstrong’s 1926-7 Hunt Households of Sussex County, from GMNJ, Vol. II, makes the incorrect claim that Hampton’s parents were Joseph Andress and Margaret Hunt. This is the result of confusing Hampton (b. 1807) with Hampton W. (b. 1832). Birth and baptism records for the Andress siblings have not surfaced. The earliest record I’ve located of the family is the 1825 notice in the Sussex Register of the marriage of Peter W. Andress and Sarah Skinner. Performing the marriage was the Rev. Joseph Campbell, the well-known pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Hackettstown.

On page 727 of James P. Snell’s 1881 History of Sussex and Warren Counties the author writes for Beattystown that “Jacob Andrews kept a blacksmith-shop in 1812” and that among the men drafted for the War of 1812 were William and Jacob Andrews of Mansfield Township. The account of Jacob Eckman of Mansfield Twp., dated 15 Feb. 1813, (file 1352S) includes “Jacob Andreas.” File 1195S is the will and inventory of Jacob Andres of Mansfield Township. Jacob names his wife Holly and a daughter Sarah, but does not name his underage children. Executors are John Hance and John Hockenbury. Witnesses to the will were James Rusling, Robt. Compton, and James Larason. This will was probated 15 Aug. 1809. The executors and witnesses, according to early records, were residents near Beattystown and Hackettstown. Included in the inventory are a set of blacksmith’s tools and unsettled account books. Is this the same blacksmith that Snell refers to? One clue that makes me think this Jacob is the father of our family is from an unverified claim that the wife of witness James Larason was Sarah Woertman. Were Sarah and Holly sisters?

On 17 Aug. 1813 a deed was recorded between David Inscoe and Ebenezer Inscoe for the same tract of land that in May of 1788 was “conveyed by John Armstrong to Abigail Thatcher.” This land is in Mansfield Township near Beattystown. The southeast corner of the land borders the “widow Andrews dwelling home.” This may be a reference to Holly, and I wonder if the John Armstrong that is mentioned is the same as the father of Euphemia Wright Armstrong, who on 20 Feb. 1819 married Wilson Hunt, brother of Margaret Hunt who later married Joseph Andress.

The earliest reference that I have found to a Jacob Andress of Beattystown is the 21 March 1801 will of Christopher Huffman of Mansfield Woodhouse Township. (File 1066S) Witnesses to this will were Elisha Bird, John Boyd (Bird?) and Jacob Anders. The inventory was taken by John Stewart and John Hance. Christopher names his daughter Mary Airs, and son-in-law Aaron Airs. Aaron was born 01 Aug. 1767 to Ezekiel Ayers and Annethe Stark.

According to the research of Alice A. Reiders, which includes a “Family Record of Ezekiel Ayers” and Hellen P. Alleman’s 1966 Ayers Family along the Delaware, from GMNJ Vol. XLI, Ezekiel was the son of Obadiah Ayers and Elizabeth Compton, who were among the earliest settlers of Hackettstown. In 1764 it was Obadiah who deeded the land to the Presbyterian committee upon which was built the Presbyterian Church of Hackettstown. Ezekiel was born 23 Feb. 1730 and he died 05 Aug. 1796. Annethe, Ezekiel’s first wife, died in 1778 and he remarried 16 March 1780 to Euphemia Longstreet. Euphemia was the widow of Richard Longstreet. He died 20 Aug. 1776. One of the daughters of Richard and Euphemia was Elli or Elsey. (R. J. Longstreet’s 1960 A History of the Longstreet Family, mentions a “Hillick Family Bible” that records the name of Richard and Euphemia’s daughter as Elsey.) She was born 26 April 1768 and she died 19 July 1791. In her 1801 will (file 915S) “Euphemia Ayers of Hackettstown” bequeathed to her granddaughter Sarah Andrews a “large blue chest, my satin cloak, muslin shawl and best homespun bedspread; also $133.20 with interest when 21.” Was Elli Longstreet Ayers married to Jacob Andress?

Euphemia’s estate inventory, dated 01 Mar. 1802, was taken by Jacob Sharp and Thomas Shields. Both Thomas’s and Jacob’s families are buried in the Old Cemetery of Hackettstown Presbyterian Church. According to Theodore F. Chambers’ 1898 Early Germans of New Jersey, page 490, Jacob and Bathsheba’s son Morris Sharp was born 25 May 1789. He died 20 June 1827. Recorded in New Jersey Marriages, 1684-1895, Morris Sharp married Sarah Andrews 22 Aug. 1811 in Sussex County. Sarah’s 05 Aug. 1843 death is recorded in the Sussex Register as follows: “Sarah, relict of Morris Sharp, Chatham, 53” This would place her birth circa 1790, which was about a year before Elli’s death. Is this Sarah the daughter of Jacob Andress and Elli Longstreet Ayers?

To summarize: Jacob Andress of Beattystown, born circa 1765, could have first married Elli, the daughter of Richard and Euphemia Longstreet. Jacob and Elli could have had a daughter Sarah born about 1790. Sarah’s birth was followed by her mother’s death of 19 July 1791. Jacob could have remarried anytime between then and 1798. His second wife’s name may have been Holly Workman. Between 1798 and 1807 Jacob and Holly had at least four children, namely, Elizabeth, Peter, Joseph, and Hampton. Jacob then died in 1809 leaving behind his widow and children. This is all, of course, speculation based upon the few records I’ve been able to uncover. Hopefully further research will confirm some of this theory or, at least, lead me in the correct direction.

Introduction

2007-05-24T21:42:00.000-04:00

Welcome to Andress Antiquities. This site will serve as an archive for my research and documentation of the history of the Andress family of northwest New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. My great-great grandfather, Hampton W. Andress, moved from Blairstown, New Jersey to Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, sometime around 1870. There he married Eliza Ann Snyder, a descendant of an old pioneer family of Pennsylvania Germans. Hampton was the grandson of Jacob Andress of Beattystown, Warren County, New Jersey. For now, Jacob is as far as I’ve gotten in my research. Most of the work of this website will be dedicated to the documentation of his descendants. Hopefully, an equal amount of time can be spent documenting my search for Jacob’s parents and his ancestral home. However, thus far, information on Jacob has proven to be quite elusive. I’ve also researched a few other 18th and 19th century New Jersey families with similar surnames such as Andrews, Andries, Anders, etc. I will be posting information about those families as well. In addition, I intend to include on this site information about the families that have married into the Andress family. Occasionally I may also post information in regard to the history of the places in which our families have lived. So even if you’re not an Andress you may still find something of interest. Please contact me or leave a note if you have any questions or comments or would like to make additions or corrections. I hope you find this archive helpful in your own quest.

For Kith & Kin,
Jeremy J. Andress
