[See A51 conflicting data?]

Family A17 Nelly born in 1778 and died in 1780 [m. Richard H. Garretson 24 1825 (Zabriski?)]
Family A18 Cornelius C. born 6 Nov 1781 who died in 1831 in Inv. onl? Montgomery Tsp, Sourland Mt., Somerset Co., NJ (2339-R). Cornelius probably married twice. Some records show he had a wife, Carolina, who died 19 Oct 1816. Other records list his wife's name as Catherine Skillman whom he married 6 Nov 1809. He may be the Cornelius Whitenack who was listed as having slaves on his property in Badminster Twsp. Somerset Co., NJ in 1806-12-17. Cornelius C. and Catherine Whitenack's issue: John, may be others ?
Family A181 John born in Blawenburg, Somerset Co, 24 Aug 1813 and died 12 May 1870. He was a wheelright and carriage maker and had a shop near the turnpike with Richard Provost. Before this he was in a partnership with Bergen Huff for 5 years. He married 5 Mar 1837 Ann B. Fisher who was born 27 Dec 1808 in Somerset Co. They had an only daughter, Catalina who married Nathaniel Morris 22 Oct 1868 (Morris died 1 Nov 1871 age 28).
Family A2 Johannes Whitenaught born in 1746 ? (I question this date - he was probably born about 10 years before that. See dates of his children's birth.) He died before 1779 and was a private in the Revolutionary War. Wife's name: Catyn [perhaps Catherine Williamson dau of John Williamson, Hunterdon NJ]. Their issue: John and Nellie.
Family A21 John born 18 May 1755 [bap 1755] (Will dated 13 Mar 1810 probated 17 Apr 1810, may be his).
Family A22

Nellie Whitenack born 8 Jan 1758 [bap records say 1757]. (She may be the Eleanor Whitenack who married Bartholomew Hunt, Cumberland, NJ 5 Jan 1782.)

Catyn Whitenack above may be the Catherine Whitenack who was mentioned in her father's will 29 Jul 1769 (Will of John Williamson of Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ).

There were many John Whiteneck's living about the same time in New Jersey which were never identified in the records which makes it a difficult task to compile. Revolutionary War records list a John Whitenight of Sussex, private, and a John Whitenaught (one of these could have been Andreas Whitenaught's son and the other the above Johannas).
