      ; Cleveland [1873], p. 300 describes this family.¹ He mentioned with Anthony I "Tunis" Trimmer and Matthias Trimmer Sr. circa 1750 at German Valley, Washington Township, Gloucester Co., New Jersey, USA; Chambers [1895] contains numerous references to German TRIMMERs in New Jersey in the mid1700s:
     p. 146: "Our own village of German Valley is situated on the Logan tract of 1,666 2-3 acres, surveyed to James Logan on the 12th of May, 1713 ... This tract was all bought by, or at least the deeds were given at about the same time, 1749, to six purchases, John Peter Scharpentstein, Philip Weise, Tunis (Anthony) Trimmer, William Welsch, Leonard Neighbor and Matthias Trimmer."
     p. 148: "Tunis Trimmer bought the farm next to Philip Weise of 315 acres for ? 150 ($400), 30th May, 1750 ... Tunis was the son of John, or Hunterdon Co., and the brother of Matthias of German Valley. He died 1754. His will [Trenton, Lib 8, fol. 77], dated 7th November, probated 21st December, 1754, names wife Elisabeth, and children: Paul, the oldest; Mary, who perhaps married 2d December 1768; and Anthony. Thomas Faircloe, who was appointed, Nov. 1st, 1770, the guardian of the son Anthony, may have married the widow Elisabeth and not ... the daughter of Tunis."
     p. 151: "Matthias Trimmer bought the farm next to Leonard Neighbor, the last one of the Logan tract. He paid ? 160 ($427) for 338 1/2 acres, of which he was in actual possession, 30 May, 1750 ... It was divided in 1793 between his sons John, who received 220 acres, and David; who received 110 acres ... Matthias was the oldest son of John Trimmer, who came with his brother from Germany or Holland to America. The brother and his family cannot be traced. All of this name in Morris and Hunterdon counties are descendants of John. He probably arrived in ship Davy at Philadelphia on the 35th of October, 1738. He and his son Matthias were naturalized by act of Assembly in 1744. He had twelve children by two wives, nine sons and three daughters. Four of his sons settled in the valley. Besides Matthias, William settled east of Middle Valley and had one son Conrad; Tunis on the Hager property, and Nicholas near Parker. George, Harbert and John settled in Amwell township, Hunterdon Co., where their descendants are still to be found.¹⁰

The fact is that Dickinson possesses and we have no doubt is the real owner of eighty-four acres of very fine land which he purchased nearly 20 years ago and has resided on ever since but as we are informed surely believe he made a conveyance of said land to a son of his after he was stricken from the pension roll under the law of 1820 and that his son has never been in possession, nor paid anything for the said land.
     The said Dickinson is also in possession of oxen, horses, cows which are claimed by his sons and daughters residing with him all of which we have no doubt in reality belong to him and which have been given away for the purposed of committing a fraud on the Government and thereby obtaining a pension, all of which is respectfully submitted by your obedient servants.

Mary/Maria Hart was a defendant named in the      This extensive file of records is associated with a legal case brought against Epenetus Hart, his heirs, and three others in 1800 by Charles Williamson, the agent for the sale of lands from the Phelps & Gorham Purchase. The case was originally brought against Epenetus Hart (Sr) for non-payment of a mortgage bond made with Williamson on 22 Dec 1794 for various properties along the shore of Lake Seneca in the area of modern Geneva.
     Apparently Epenetus didn't repay the mortgage and later mortgaged some of the same properties to George Bennet, William Dunn and Timothy Alleyn. Williamson includes these three in the suit in an effort to reclaim the properties or the value of the original loans (with interest).
     What is particularly notable is that these documents document the death of Epenetus Hart (Sr) in or about 1801. The evidence is:
          1. References in three depositions to the "late" or "deceased Epenetus Hart" and two references to his having died intestate. These references are in the depositions of Armstrong Hart, John Griffin and his wife Elizabeth (Hart); the deposition of Mary Hart (minor with her brother Armstrong as her guardian); and Jonathan Hart (minor with an Albany lawyer James Van Ingen as his guardian.
          2. The fact that the case is originally launched ca 19 July 1800 and then relaunched ca 25 March 1802 with a Bill of Revivor stating "the said Epenetus Hart died, intestate, leaving issue and heirs at law ..."
     On 16 Dec 1802 two parcels belonging to Epenetus (Sr) in Geneva are sold to repay this debt. with Epenetus Hart Sr. between 19 July 1800 and 7 January 1803 at Geneva (Originally Seneca), Ontario Co., New York, USA.^9,10

; The the suit against her father and his dependents: The court appointed Armstrong Hart to be the guardian of his sister Mary Hart (then a "minor above the age of fourteen years"), at her request.⁹

     Obituary: Buffalo NY Courier, April 11, 1895 - ADDISON CROWLEY DEAD
     Was Once Sheriff of Chautauqua County and a Supervisor
     Randolph, April 10 -- (Special) -- Addison Crowley died at his home here this morning, aged 84 years. He was sheriff of this county in 1849 and 1855, a supervisor for several terms, and was appointed postmaster at Randolph by President Lincoln. The first year he was in Randolph he cast the only Whig vote there was in town, and when he called the first Republican caucus for this town he was the only one to attend. Mr. Crowley was influential in organizing the Randolph Academy, now Chamberlain Institute, and was one of the original incorporators of the State Bank of Randolph, having been its first vice-president and later its president, resigning that position a short time ago on account of ill health. His influence helped to establish here the West New York Home for Dependent Children. Mr. Crowley came from Vermont to Randolph in 1835, and his long and active business life gave him a wide acquaintance. He leaves four daughters and one son, Jerome A., who is connected with the State Bank.
     Note: the author's mistake about the sheriff's job--Randolph is in Cattaraugus County, not Chautauqua County.

Jonathan Hart was a defendant named in the      This extensive file of records is associated with a legal case brought against Epenetus Hart, his heirs, and three others in 1800 by Charles Williamson, the agent for the sale of lands from the Phelps & Gorham Purchase. The case was originally brought against Epenetus Hart (Sr) for non-payment of a mortgage bond made with Williamson on 22 Dec 1794 for various properties along the shore of Lake Seneca in the area of modern Geneva.
     Apparently Epenetus didn't repay the mortgage and later mortgaged some of the same properties to George Bennet, William Dunn and Timothy Alleyn. Williamson includes these three in the suit in an effort to reclaim the properties or the value of the original loans (with interest).
     What is particularly notable is that these documents document the death of Epenetus Hart (Sr) in or about 1801. The evidence is:
          1. References in three depositions to the "late" or "deceased Epenetus Hart" and two references to his having died intestate. These references are in the depositions of Armstrong Hart, John Griffin and his wife Elizabeth (Hart); the deposition of Mary Hart (minor with her brother Armstrong as her guardian); and Jonathan Hart (minor with an Albany lawyer James Van Ingen as his guardian.
          2. The fact that the case is originally launched ca 19 July 1800 and then relaunched ca 25 March 1802 with a Bill of Revivor stating "the said Epenetus Hart died, intestate, leaving issue and heirs at law ..."
     On 16 Dec 1802 two parcels belonging to Epenetus (Sr) in Geneva are sold to repay this debt. with Epenetus Hart Sr. between 19 July 1800 and 7 January 1803 at Geneva (Originally Seneca), Ontario Co., New York, USA.^9,10 Jonathan Hart is mentioned in the Land Transaction of Thomas Howard and Richard Montgomery Williams on 19 December 1810 at near Hopeton, Benton, Yates Co.

E. Hart - Epenetus Jr. was 20 or more years old in 1810. there is no record of him being married or having children then, but it is possible. However, this looks like a couple aged 26-44, with an elderly male and possibly 5 children.

A. Hart #1 - Armstrong was about 36 years old at this time and and his wife was around 32 years old. The had four daughters. However, this looks like a younger couple (aged 16-25) with only one daughter.

A. Hart #2 - Armstrong was about 36 years old at this time and and his wife was around 32 years old. The had four daughters. However, this looks like an older couple, both 45 or more years old and with no children.
