Francis PRICE'S Ledger, he was for many years a Justice of the Peace
in Frankford, NJ. The entries in the ledger are for years of 1779.
Reference for payment to be made to "Timothy GUSTIN".
Also on the same page, is a reference to "John STOLL was of Hollandish
descent, and was reared in the Minisink settlement. His home was at
Augusta, where he located during the latter part of the last centruy.
His sons are deceased, though a later generation still resides in the
township."
This book I believe was written in the 1800's. Sorry I don't have any
more on that.

Annie: I find the STOLL, Chillion & Andrew from NJSUSSEX-L that you
sent me interesting. I have many of the same last names in my file.
So there must have been a close relationship between these families
and intermarriage.

I am sending a copy of this message to J. Kelsey Jones and wish I knew
who Mary in Michigan was.
Perhaps we can help each other.

But I am looking for some info also.....
Richard Gustin m. Emily C. Stoll, 16 Feb 1859, Sussex Co., NJ.
Seeking information on both - who were their parents, sibilings, any
known descendants.

I find it curious that you posted this just as I was posting this.....

"Historic Homes and Places and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs -
Relating to the families of Middlesex County, Massachusetts", by
William Richard Cutter, A.M.; Lewis Historical Publishing Company, NY,
1908; Vol I, 9. 158-161
(call#974.41-M58 C981Kansas State Historical Society)

Edmund Gustin, the progenitor of this family, lived at St.Ouens Isle
of Jersey. He married there April 25, 1638, Esther Le Rossignol. The
homestead at St. Ouens was sold by their son in 1677 to John Brock, of
Reading, Massachusetts. The family name of a puzzle, however. The son,
who will be known in this sketch as John Gustin (1), was originally
designated Augustine Jean in the records. Savage implies that, the
name should have been Jean or John Augustine, and it certainy took
that fo after its owner came to America. In a few years it was
shortened to Gustine, and enentually most of the family clipt off the
terminal also, making it -Gustin. Esther, the mother of Jean, had a
brother, M. Augustine Rossig-nol of St. Ouens, and it is presumed that
both Jean and Augustine were given names.
(II) John Gustin, son of Edmund Gustin was born in St. Ouens, Isle of
Jersey, January 9, 1647. He came to New England when a young mail and
was a sergeant in Captain Turner's company in King Philip's war, 1676.
He had made his home at Reading, Massachusetts, and was living there
in 1677 when he sold his English patrimony. In 1680 he received a
grant of land at Falmouth from President Danforth, the fourth lot on
what was Broad street, now India street, Portland, Maine, with the
privilege of constructing a brick yard. He bought a small lot in
Falmouth of Widow Housing on the west side of the Presumpscot river.
He was driven from home by the Indians with the other settlers, but
returned in 1719. He was a mariner, part of the time and was once
captain of a vessel.
He bought land above the falls on the Presumpscot in 1686 of Thomas
Cloice and made his home there until May 26, 1690 when the indians
destroyed Falmouth. He married at Watertown, Massachusetts, Elizabeth
Brown, daughter of John Brown. Some of his children did not return to
Maine, but went to Pennsylvania, Connecticut and elsewhere. His
descendants have been traced in Virginia and Pennsylvania among the
well known families of Hamiltons, Snowdons and Thompsons Philadelphia:
Clews, Hunters and Greens of Virginia. He left a widow and seven
children, viz.: Samuel, John, Jr., Thomas, mentioned below: Ebenezer,
