H-m-m-m!I am wondering if this is my great-great-great grandfather, William Wale, married to Anne or Ann, who lived in NYC.They had a daughter, my grt-grt grandmother, Martha Ann, born in 1810 or 1811.She married Joseph Nicholas who was born in England in about 1793.Martha was 16 and he was 31 when they married in New York on December 18, 1824.They had nine children.They lived in NYC at East Broadway and Henry Streets, but had a summer home which eventually became their permanent home at Peapack, NJ.Joseph Nicholas died in 1848; Martha Ann married Henry Couch in December 1849.They had two children:Lillian Couch, born 3/8/1851 and Henry (Harry)Mercer Couch, born 2/22/1855.Martha Ann died 10 days after Harry's birth.She is buried in the Bedminster cemetery alongside Joseph Nicholas.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.
