Looking for the parents of Zachariah Stickles b. c. 1723.
The earliest Stickles in what is now Sussex County, New Jersey was perhaps Zachariah Stickles b. c. 1723 who received $9.30 on 30 Apr 1781 for providing services of a two-horse team for 3 ½ days during the American Revolution (certificate 546). No Stickles appear in the 1773 or 1774 tax lists of Sussex County. Zachariah Stickles, Sr. and Zachariah Stickles, Jr., purchased 193 acres, each with a half interest, in what is now the present township of Andover from John Armstrong, 25 May 1790 (deed recorded in 1823 at X2:318). This land and the interests and rights of the descendants proves to be very important in identifying the various members of the Stickles family. Zachariah and his family resided in Newton township (that portion that later became Andover township). Zachariah Sr., d. 19 Nov 1797 74y intestate, inventory of his estate dated 16 Dec 1797. His marker of native stone and roughly inscribed is in the Huntsville Cemetery, Green Township and reads:
HERE LIES BODY OF ZACARIAH
STICKLE HIS AGE IS 74 HE DIED THE 19 OF
NOVEMBER IN THE YEAR OF 1797
His name is inscribed Zacariah. Two native stone markers, one inscribed 1802 and the other 1803 are near Zachariah’s marker. No other information is on these markers. Other Stickles family members with inscribed markers are buried near Zachariah in three rows. There are native stone markers and graves without markers in between Stickles markers indicating several family members without inscribed markers.
Administratrix was Elizabeth Stickles and fellowbondsmen were Andrew Stickle and Peter Snook, all of Newton. Elizabeth was evidently his widow, but it is unknown if she was the mother of his children. She was perhaps the Elizabeth Bale who m. 29 Aug 1784 Zachariah Stickles and daughter of Johan Heinrich Behl and Elizabeth Gunderman (Gonterman, etc.) of Layfayette, Sussex County or Zachariah Jr., below was twice married, first to Elizabeth Bale and then to Margaret. If the Elizabeth in the Will was Elizabeth Bale she was b. perhaps in the 1760’s and could not be the mother of the elder Zachariah’s children.
On 12 Mar 1804 (K:362) Andrew Stickles and wife Mary, Isaac Stickles and wife Mary, and Peter Hibler and wife Elizabeth conveyed their right in the Stickles farm to Margaret Stickles (widow of Zachariah Jr., but not stated as such in the deed), all being of Newton township, the farm in possession of Peter Hibler. Andrew Stickles, Isaac Stickles, and Elizabeth Hibler are identified as children of Zachariah Stickles Sr. On 30 Apr 1810 (V:444) John Stickles and wife Effie of Newton township conveyed his rights as a grandson of Zachariah Sr., to John Hanna (second husband of Margaret Struble Stickles Hanna). On 12 Jan 1811 as a result of a judgement to the estate of Adam Congle against John Hanna and his wife, Margaret, the sheriff sold their rights to John Johnson (Y:36).
John Johnson claimed 7/11 of 1/2 interest in the Stickles farm. John Johnson's claim to 7/11 is interpreted to include 2/11 of Andrew Stickles, 2/11 of Isaac Stickles, 2/11 of Zachariah Stickles Jr., and 1/11 of Elizabeth Hibler. This would imply that 4/11 interest in the farm was held by someone else. 2/11 of the 4/11 was held by John Stickles, grandson of Zachariah Sr., and only heir of David Stickles. The remaining 2/11 was held by Zachariah B. Stickles, grandson of Zachariah Sr., and only heir of Henry Stickles. The farm was divided into four lots. John Johnson was awarded lot 4 of 37.54 acres. Lot 3 of 30.70 acres was assigned to the heirs of Zachariah Stickles Jr., and lot 2 of 28.35 acres was assigned to Zachariah B. Stickles (son of Henry), grandson of Zachariah Sr. These three lots of 96.59 acres represent the original 1/2 interest of Zachariah Sr., in the 193 acre farm purchased in 1790. Lot 1 of 96 1/2 acres was assigned to the heirs of Zachariah Stickles Jr., representing the original half share of Zachariah Jr. These lots were further divided in later years and further identify members of the Stickles family.
Children of Zachariah Stickles Sr.:
1. Henry Stickles.
2. David Stickles.
3. Isaac Stickles b. after 1766.
4. Andrew Stickles.
5. Zachariah Stickles, Jr., b. c. 1760.
6. Elizabeth Stickles.
7. perhaps John Stickles who d. Hardwick, Sussex County. Administration of estate granted to Andrew Stickle, 28 May 1791. Fellowbondsmen, Zachariah Stickle, both of Hardwick. These were presumably his brother, Andrew and father or brother, Zachariah.
There are two unidentified Stickles found in the marriage records of Sussex County and they are: Daniel Stickle m. 7 Mar 1802 in Sussex County, Susanah Sackman and Frederick Stickle m. 20 Mar 1796 in Sussex County, Maria Kohler. If they were sons of Zachariah Sr., they died soon after their marriages and left no heirs. There was a Daniel Stickles enumerated in Frederick County, Virginia in 1820.
SECOND GENERATION
1. Henry Stickles m. 26 May 1796 (Sussex County marriage record) Elizabeth Bale daughter of John Henry Bale and Elizabeth Gontterman (Gunderman, etc.) of Lafayette township. Inventory of Henry's estate dated 28 Mar 1800 Sussex County, New Jersey. Elizabeth Stickles (his wife)and Zachariah Stickles were appointed to administer the estate. Fellowbondsmen were Peter Snook and John Onstot, all of Newton. Inventory of Elizabeth's estate dated 12/13 July 1804.
8. Zachariah Bale Stickles b. c. 1799. David Stickle petitioned the court that he be appointed guardian, 17 Aug 1802. Fellowbondsmen was Isaac Stickle, both of Newton township. On 3 Mar 1827 he was of Newton township when he conveyed lot 2 of the Stickles homestead farm to Edward Stewart (D3:386). In two transactions in Feb 1833 (P3:183, P3:193) Zachariah bought 3 acres in the village of Baleville. On 1 Mar 1842 (E4:522) he sold .3 acres to Philip Struble. On 25 June 1845 (E4:68) he sold 1/8 acre to David Shupe, this land later being bought by the Christian Church of Baleville. Neither deed mentions a wife. By 1850 he was in financial difficulties when on 4 Feb the sheriff sold (K4:520) 1/2 acre with a dwelling house to Benjamin Curry, who owned the adjoining store in Baleville. On 30 Mar the remainder was sold to John and Peter Bale (K4:575). In the 1850 census enumeration he is listed as a 60 year old miller, living with the Vernon H. Law family, also a miller, at Baleville. Zachariah d. 28 Feb 1879 79y Hampton, Sussex County, New Jersey.
2. David Stickles m. Elizabeth. Inventory of his estate dated 24 Nov 1803 Sussex County, New Jersey, made by Joseph Hibler and Joseph Hill. Administrator was Andrew Stickle and fellowbondsmen were Isaac Stickle and Albert Amerman, all of Sussex County. Elizabeth is called deceased in the inventory
filing.
9. John Stickles.
3. Isaac Stickles b. after 1766 appears on the 1793 military census of Newton. Isaac m. 10 Aug 1795 (Sussex County marriage record) Mary Gontterman (Gunderman, Guntraman, Contraman, etc.) daughter of Conrad Gunterman and Mary Simmons, a Frankford township family. Isaac was of Newton in 1804 when he conveyed his rights in the farm of his father to Margaret Stickles, widow of his brother Zachariah Jr. He is perhaps the Isaac Stickles found in Bullitt County, Kentucky in 1810.
daughter b. 1796-1800.
daughter b. 1796-1800.
son b. 1801-10.
daughter b. 1801-10.
4. Andrew Stickles is evidently the Andrew Sickle (next to Isaac Stickle and Zacharias Stickle in list) found on the 1793 military census of Newton. Andrew m. 30 Aug 1798 (Sussex County marriage record) Mary Drake b. c. 1779 daughter of Joshua Drake and wife Susannah. On 9 Apr 1800 (F:164) Andrew Stickles and his wife Mary quit-claimed to Peter Drake 76 ½ acres "part of the estate of Joshua Drake, left to Peter Drake, Mary Stickles, and Hannah Taylor, wife of Henry Taylor." In deed (F:185) Peter Drake sold this land to Samuel Hill Sr., and Peter, Hannah, and Mary are called children of Joshua Drake. On 18 Feb 1804 (L:139) Andrew Stickles bought 33 acres of the estate of Joshua Drake from Peter. In 1804 he conveyed his rights in the farm of his father to Margaret Stickles, widow of his brother Zachariah, Jr. Andrew d. sometime in 1805 when the inventory of his estate was dated 5 Nov 1805. Mary m. 8 Jan 1808 (Sussex County marriage record) (2)John Hendricks. On 19 Aug 1812 (Z:184) Susanna Drake, widow of Joshua Drake, conveyed her dower rights in the 33 acres to John Hendricks and Mary his wife, late Mary Stickles, and Joseph Hibler. The same day John Hendricks and Mary, administrators of the estate of Andrew Stickles, sold the tract (now called 35.26 acres) to Joseph Hibler (Z:183). Mary is presumed to be the female of age 50 and under age 60 in the household of son David in Newton Township in 1840 and she was enumerated with son, David in Newton Township in 1850 and she d. 10 Oct 1855 76y. On 24 Nov 1856 Joshua D. Stickles sold a 1/4 interest in a 60 acre tract "on east side of highway from Newton to Andover, in occupancy of David W. Stickles" to Henry Hart (S4:582), the deed stating that this is his interest in the estate of Margaret Hendricks, his mother. The reference to Margaret Hendricks, is evidently an error and should have read Mary. On 3 Apr 1858 (V4:322) a 3/4 interest in a 64.46 acre tract, which is most likely the same as the 60 acre tract, is sold to Henry Hart by Daniel Steele and his wife Susan, Charles Stickles and his wife Clarissa, and David W. Stickles. This last deed excepts out "twenty feet square for a graveyard, where the graves now are." The Drake farm was in present Andover township, mostly on both sides of route 206 and both sides of the Pequest River, a little south of Springdale. The part retained by Mary Hendricks was on the west side of 206 and south of the Pequest.
10. David W. Stickles b. c. 1799 Andover Township.
11. Joshua Drake Stickles b. 1801 Newton.
12. Charles S. Stickles b. 3 Nov 1803.
13. Susan Stickles b. c. 1806.
5. Zachariah Stickles, Jr., b. c. 1760 m. Margaret, who some unknown researcher identified as a Struble, but which proof is lacking. He is presumed to be the Zacharias Stickle found on the 1793 military census of Newton. Inventory of his estate dated 21 July 1802, having d. before that date, Margaret appointed administratrix. Fellowbondsmen, Andrew Stickle and Joseph Hill, all of Newton township. Zachariah’s marker in Huntsville Cemetery, Green Township has been transcribed with an age of 43 years but no dates. A visit to this cemetery in May 2001 failed to find this marker. Margaret m. 16 Sept 1805 (Sussex County marriage record) (2)John Hanna. On 16 Feb 1815 (C2:457) Andrew Stickles and wife, Elizabeth conveyed two tracts, one of which was subject to a dower right to Zachariah Stickles and Philip Stickles. These two lots were 2/10 interests in lots 1 and 3 of the original half interest of the first Zachariah Stickles in the Stickles homestead farm and of Zachariah, Jr. On 5 Mar 1813 (C2:410) John Hanna sold all his interest in his wife's dower rights to Richard Allen. In a separate deed with the same date (D2:157) but not recorded until later, Margaret Hanna conveyed her dower rights to Richard Allen. On 17 Aug 1816 Richard Allen and wife, Elizabeth conveyed 1/10 interest in lot 1 to Joshua Hill (F2:388). On 20 June 1822 (V2:293) Adam Stickles conveyed a 2/10 interest in lots 1 and 3 to Philip Stickles. Adam and Philip are both identified as sons of Zachariah Stickles Jr. This left a 5/10 interest in lots 1 and 3, which can be concluded to be 2/10 for Zachariah, 2/10 for Philip, and 1/10 for Margaret, the remaining children of Zachariah and Margaret Stickles. On 24 Apr 1823 Philip purchased the 1/10 interest from Margaret Stickles (X2:319). On 21 Mar 1831 Zachariah Stickles and wife, Susan and Abraham Stickles conveyed all their rights in lots 1 and 3 to Philip Stickles (L3:5) and Zachariah Stickles (L3:7). In this deed, Zachariah and Abraham were sons of Andrew Stickles. It is assumed that this was essentially a quit claim, the meaning of the earlier deed from Andrew Stickles being obscure. The estate of Zachariah and Margaret's daughter Margaret Savacool is very important in further identifying this family.

6. Elizabeth Stickles m. Peter Hibler b. perhaps c. 1775 (age 75 in 1850 census enumeration, under age 21 in 1790 Will of father, over age 18 in 1793 militia census) son of Adam Hibler. On 12 May 1801 (G:329) Peter Hibler and his wife Elizabeth sold a 55 acre tract, the south part of the lands of Adam Hibler deceased. On 10 June 1802 (T:246) Christopher Hibler, as executor of the estate of his father Adam Hibler quit claimed to Peter Hibler the "plantation where Adam Hibler lived." On 14 June 1802 (G:327) Peter and his wife Elizabeth sold 150 acres to Henry Opdyke, a "part of the plantation Adam Hibler left to Peter." These two parcels were on the north and south sides of the Pequest River. On 12 Mar 1804 (K:362) Andrew Stickles and wife Mary, Isaac Stickles and wife Mary, and Peter Hibler and wife Elizabeth conveyed their right in the Stickles homestead farm to Margaret Stickles (widow of Zachariah Jr., but not stated as such in the deed), all being of Newton township, the farm in possession of Peter Hibler. Andrew Stickles, Isaac Stickles, and Elizabeth Hibler are identified as children of Zachariah Stickles Sr.
Elizabeth was living 12 Mar 1804 and it is unknown if she died in Sussex County or accompanied her husband to Canada with some of his relatives and died there. Peter m. perhaps c. 1811 in Ontario, Canada, (2)Martha Hahn daughter of Henry Hahn a United Empire Loyalist. Peter served in the War of 1812 as a Canadian soldier in the Middlesex and Oxford Militia. For this he was recommended for a 100 acre grant. Resided Southwold township, Middlesex County, district of London, Ontario, Canada. He received his location ticket for the 100 acres in Jan 1824 for the north half of lot 23 in Mosa township, Middlesex County provided he cleared and fenced five acres and erected a dwelling house 16 x 20 to be performed within two years. Perhaps removed soon after or in the following year to Mosa. Martha petitioned for more land (received 100 acres about fourteen years earlier) 16 Dec 1824 as the daughter of a United Empire Loyalist and the wife of Peter Hibler of River Thames township, London district, but was denied. Martha signed by mark.
In the 1826 assessment of Mosa, Peter had cultivated two of the 100 acres and owned two cattle and besides himself there was two males under age 16 and a female over age 16. The males under age 16 are assumed to be sons of Peter. In the 1827 assessment one of the apparent sons and the female is missing, either being Martha who died or Martha had died prior to 1826 and the female was a daughter who married or died. This female was missing from the family listing from that time on. Through the years Peter cultivated more land of the 100 acres in the assessment rolls and acquired 2 horses over the oxen. Peter petitioned for his land patent 15 Dec 1846 for lot 23 in Mosa township which was granted 10 Mar 1847. Peter sold his land in Mosa that same year in two parcels of 50 acres each. Letter dated 19 Jan 1847 of Southwold, Elgin County asking for land patent and petition dated 19 Feb 1847 for land in Mosa township. Peter removed to Michigan with other relatives and was enumerated in 1850 in Nankin township, Wayne County, Michigan at the County Poor House, pauper. He was living in 1854.
THIRD GENERATION
9. John Stickles. A John Stickle m. 21 June 1804 (Sussex County marriage record) Eve Onsted (Onstedt, Onstott, etc.). A John Stickle m. 5 July 1804 (Sussex County marriage record) Elizabeth Onsted. There was a John Sheeler, son of John Sheeler who had a daughter, Alice by an Elizabeth Onstat daughter of George Onstat. Perhaps confusion in the marriage records or an error in transcribing. Either or both of these marriages could refer to the John Stickles who had a wife, Effie 30 Apr 1810 when he conveyed his rights in the Stickles farm, as a grandson of Zachariah Stickles, Sr., to John Hanna. John Stickles owned three tracts about 1/2 mile southeast of the Stickles homestead, near the edge of the Andover Forge Tract. No record of how he acquired them. On 8 Apr 1813 (W:486) John and Effy sold 4.45 acres off the southernmost tract to their neighbors, the Davis's. On 6 Apr 1817 they sold the remaining property to Sarah Hill, a spinster sister of Joshua Hill and Joseph Hill. No further record of John and Effie. A John Sickles m. 14 Mar 1818 (Sussex County marriage record) Margaret Clark.
10. David W. Stickles b. c. 1799 was enumerated in Newton in 1830 with a family. In the 1840 census of Newton there was no wife in his household. In the 1850 census enumeration of Newton, mother Mary and son, Henry and his wife and child enumerated with him. On 17 May 1860 (A5:183) David purchased 11/2 acres on the southern edge of the village of Newton, on the road to pringdale, including the "new house where David W. Stickles now lives." On 1 Nov 1869 David and his wife, Jane sold 1/4 acre off the rear to a neighbor (A6:303). On 1 Apr 1870 (A6:300) they sold another 1/2 acre with a house. In the 1870 census enumeration, David a carpenter, and his 50 year old wife, Jane were living on present route 206. On 5 Jan 1871(C6:427) the remaining land was conveyed to Thomas Anderson for $1, who conveyed it back to David W. Stickles and wife, Jane on 28 Jan 1871 (C6:428), perhaps the point of this was to give Jane joint ownership with right of survivorship. David d. 22 Apr 1874 74y Newton.
21. Henry Stickles b. c. 1828.
22. son b. 1826-30 (living 1840 census).
23. son b. 1831-35 (living 1840 census).
11. Joshua Drake Stickles b. 1801 Newton d. 1 May 1857 56y.
DIED, near Springdale, on the 1st inst., Joshua Stickles, aged about 50 years (Sussex Register, Newton, New Jersey, Saturday, May 9, 1857).
12. Charles S. Stickles b. 3 Nov 1803 m. Clarissa Rorbach b. 22 Apr 1809. Enumerated in Newton in 1850. On 5 Apr 1858 (V4:434) he bought a house lot on Halsted Street in Newton. This was two days after he sold his interest in his mother's estate. Records of this Charles should not be confused with Charles b. c. 1819 son of Zachariah and Sarah Stickles. Charles and Clarissa were enumerated in Newton in 1860 and 1870. Charles d. 29 Sept 1883 79y 10m 26d (cemetery record) and Clarissa d. 4 Oct 1893 (cemetery record) buried New Newton Cemetery, Newton, New Jersey.
24. Almeda Stickles b. 30 May 1834, single, d. 20 Apr 1895 buried New Newton Cemetery.
25. Susan M. Stickles b. 7 May 1837, single, d. 26 July 1857 buried New Newton Cemetery. Also has marker in Old Newton Cemetery inscribed 26 July 1857 20y (ts) with "by her side lies an infant brother."
26. David W. Stickles b. 1839 d. 22 May 1840 11m (Sussex Register, Newton, New Jersey, Monday, May 25, 1840).
27. Emma Stickles b. c. 1847.
13. Susan Stickles b. c. 1806 m. 16 Oct 1824 (Sussex County marriage record) Daniel Steel. On 26 Jan 1827 (D3:229) Daniel Steel bought a house lot in the village of Newton. Five months later (F3:185) Daniel and his wife Susan sold it. On 21 Oct 1851 (M4:442) Daniel bought a 1 acre lot on the north
side of the village of Newton, on the road to Lafayette (route 206). In 1851 (M4:215) and in 1859 (X4:77) he signed as one of the trustees of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Newton. Enumerated in Newton in 1850. Susan d. 19 Sept 1862 56y. On 11 July 1863 (E5:363) Daniel conveyed part of his house lot to Whitman D. Steel. On 1 May 1868 (C6:335) Daniel and Whitman jointly purchased a lot in the new Newton Cemetery.
28. Whitman D. Steel b. c. 1832.
29. Harriet Steel b. c. 1835.
14. Andrew Stickles m. Elizabeth. On 16 Feb 1815 (C2:457) Andrew and Elizabeth conveyed two tracts, one subject to a "dower right" to Zachariah Stickles and Philip Stickles. These two lots were the 2/10 interest in lots 1 and 3 of the original half interest of the Stickles homestead farm of the first Zachariah Stickles. There are no further land transactions for Andrew and Elizabeth in Sussex County. Andrew was deceased before 21 Mar 1831 when Zachariah Stickles and his wife, Susan and Abraham Stickles conveyed all their rights in lots 1 and 3 of the original Stickles homestead farm to Philip Stickles (L3:5) and Zachariah Stickles (L3:7). Zachariah and Abraham were the two sons of Andrew and Elizabeth and they were conveying the land in this deed to their two uncles, Philip and Zachariah. Since, Andrew and Elizabeth had conveyed their interests in this same land in 1815, it is believed that this was essentially a quit claim, the meaning of the earlier deed being obscure. The case involving the estate of Andrew's sister, Margaret Savacool names the "children of her deceased brother Andrew Stickles of Stillwater township." From these deeds Andrew and Elizabeth were both living 16 Feb 1815 and Andrew was deceased before 21 Mar 1831 as was perhaps Elizabeth.

Zachariah sold his share of the homestead farm on 19 Apr 1837 (V3:153) that he had acquired with brother, Philip. On 11 Feb 1840 he purchased a 74 acre farm (X3:587) on the southeast side of Stickles Pond Road, adjacent to the southeast corner of the Stickles homestead farm. Enumerated in Newton township, Sussex County, New Jersey in 1850. His Will dated 20 July 1867 Andover township, Sussex County bequeathed $400 to sons Daniel H. and Stewart in trust for son, Jesse M., to pay the interest annually and so much of the principal as they think necessary for his comfortable support and to invest the $400 into a house and lot for Jesse and any remainder of the $400 at his death to be divided among his children. To son, Philip one fourth of the money that I am to receive from the estate of my sister, Margaret Savacool. The remainder of my estate divided among my three sons, Charles Jr., Stewart, and Daniel H.; Charles and Stewart to each have one fourth part and Daniel one half part and they to serve as executors.

41. Isaac Stickles b. 27 Jan 1827.
18. Elizabeth Stickles b. c. 1792 m. Richard Allen b. c. 1777 son of Thomas Allen. On 9 Feb 1811 Richard and Elizabeth were among the heirs of Thomas Allen who conveyed 220 acres of his estate to his son Joshua Allen. On 15 Mar 1813 (Z:334) Richard Allen bought a 30 acre tract from Charles Pemberton who had bought it at a sheriff's sale from John and Margaret Hanna (Z:342) on 4 Jan 1810. On 17 June 1813 Richard bought a 34 acre tract from Job S. Halstead (A2:91), this tract adjoining the Stickles homestead farm. On 17 Aug 1816 Richard and Elizabeth sold these two tracts, together with their interests in the Stickles homestead to Joshua Hill (F2:387,88). In 1819 a Richard Allen bought a 13.52 acre tract in Stillwater township (O2:251), which was sold 25 Mar 1851 from the estate of Samuel Hill and gives no clue as to how he obtained title (L4:244). On 9 Sept 1822 there are two deeds to various "children of Richard Allen deceased" for land in Stillwater township, but his widow is Sarah Allen (A3:8, A3:10). The 1830 census shows a Richard Allen as a head of household. They removed about 1835 to Vigo County, Indiana and resided in Honey Creek Township near Praireton. Elizabeth d. 5 Aug 1841 49y (ts) and Richard d. 1 Aug 1862 85y (ts) buried Praireton Cemetery. The 1868 court case of her sister Margaret Savacool refers to Elizabeth Allen, wife of Richard Allen, residence unknown, but who is supposed to reside in Indiana. The decree of distribution refers to "children of Elizabeth Allen deceased, whose names are unknown."

A case (Z8:786) in the Chancery Court of New Jersey is very important in identifying the heirs of Zachariah, Jr., and Margaret Stickles. The case involved Zachariah M. Stickles of Stillwater township vs. Whitfield S. Johnson, Zachariah Stickles, et al, to have two tracts of land partitioned. Bill of complaint filed 8 Jan 1868.
I. In pursuance of a prenuptial agreement: Margaret Savacool, of Newton township with her husband Jacob Savacool conveyed to Whitfield S. Johnson of Newton township, premises in Newton township, by deed dated 1 Jan 1851 (M4:158) to be held in trust for use of Margaret Savacool, late Margaret Stickles as life beneficiary, and if she does not direct its sale in her lifetime, or in her Will, then it is to be conveyed to her heirs-at-law.
II. On 1 Dec 1845 Abraham Stickles and Esther his wife of Lafayette township with Zachariah Stickles of Newton township conveyed property in Lafayette to Zachariah Stickles by deed (E4:289) in trust for the benefit of Margaret Savacool.
III. On 9 May 1866 Margaret d. intestate leaving heirs-at-law: Zachariah Stickles, brother, of Andover township; Zachariah M. Stickles and Abram Stickles, nephews, of Stillwater township, sons of deceased brother Andrew; Eliza Williams, niece, wife of Amos Williams of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, daughter of brother Andrew; George W. Orner, John Orner, Jacob Orner, Theodore Orner, all of Port Jervis, New York, children of Margaret Orner, deceased wife of Jacob O. Orner deceased, who was the daughter of brother Andrew Stickles; Catharine Porter, wife of William H. Porter of Stanhope, Salina Foster, wife of Jonathan Foster of Jersey City, Hudson County, Elizabeth Homler wife of Elisha Homler of Huntsville, all daughters of brother Andrew Stickles (this was later corrected as Catharine, Salina, and Elizabeth were all daughters of Margaret Stickles Orner); Isaac Stickles of Warren County and Margaret Reed wife of Abram Reed of Andover, children of deceased brother, Philip; Elizabeth Allen wife of Richard Allen, residence unknown, but who is supposed to reside in Indiana, sister. Elizabeth Homler and Guy Homler are minors under 21 years. During the year 1867 John Orner died leaving Ida M. Orner his only child and heir-at-law, an infant under 21 years of age.
IV. All parties wish the premises to be sold and the proceeds divided.
Subpoenas were served on Isaac Stickles by A. R. Metz, sheriff; Zachariah Stickles, Abram Stickles, Guy Orner, William H. Porter and Catharine his wife, Elisha Homler and Elizabeth his wife, Abram Reed and Margaret his wife by Jesse Ward, sheriff of Sussex County, New Jersey; Jonathan and Salina Foster cannot be found in Hudson County and are believed to reside in New York state.
Guy Orner, Ida M. Orner, and Elizabeth Homler are minors between the ages of 14 years and 21 years. Barker Gummere appointed guardian.
Thomas Anderson, attorney for the plaintiff has been unable to find Amos and Eliza Williams or Richard and Elizabeth Allen. The addresses of Jacob Orner, George W. Orner, and Theodore Orner is Port Jervis, New York.
The defendant Zachariah Stickles died a few days after being served the subpoena in the case. He left a Will and devised to his four sons, Philip, Charles, Steward, and Daniel H., all his interest in the case, Steward and Daniel qualifying as executors of the estate of Zachariah Stickles.
