A few weeks back Ancestry.com posted some new records - New Jersey Wills and Probate Records 1656-1999. I found a few, not many, wills here. Two that interest me , the first was Lucinda Condit. She was married to Ellis Freeman Condit - brother to Ezra Fairchild ( my GGG grandfather). Their father was Hiran Condit (1787-1844) and mother, Rhoda Corby (1788- ?). And the second was Ezra Fairchild Condit (1814-1885). Both still needing transcription (next months post).
I pulled down my Hiran Condits binder and found I hadn't much information on his family. I then pulled out my "The Condit Family - Decendants of John Cunditt" book and found many family members that were not in my family tree. The following is a list of "cousins" added.
Hiran Condit (1787-1844) married Rhoda Corby (1788 - ?) - they had 5 children
1. Ellis Freeman Condit (1811-1887) married Lucinda Corby (1811-1881) - they had 9 children

5. Emmons Nelson Condit (1852-1903) married Harriet E. Squier (1850-1902) - they had 8
children - Notes from the " Condit Family" book - "Emmons Nelson Condit was born May
4, 1852 in Newark, N.J. where he spent the early years of his life. He was fond of music
and had great lend as a singer. When a young man he was soloist in the Methodist
Episcopal Church in Newark, of which he was a member. Mr. Condit came of " old
Methodist stock" and was a zealous Christian and an earnest advocate of temperance. On
Jan. 28, 1872, he married Harriet E. Squire, of Madison, NJ born May 10, 1850. After his
marriage they resided in the " Old Condit Homestead" of his grandfather, still standing,
over one hundred was old, between the first and second mountains in Verona, NJ. Here he
lived with his wife and children, and devoted his life to his family and home. Mr. Condit
was a master mechanic and was well known in all the suburban towns. For two years
before her death Mrs. Condit was a patient sufferer from malignant sickness, from
which she died July 16, 1902. Although he loved his children dearly, his deep devotion to
his wife was stronger, an after nine months of deep sorrow he suddenly and quietly passed
away April 8, 1903, to the great sorrow of those who were left."
4. Hannah Condit (?-?) married ? Abel (?-?)
5. Harriet Condit (1821-?) married Aaron Perry (?-?)
So to total this up..... I added 56 new cousins to my CONDIT family tree this month of September 2015. And the family grows.

UPDATE to Valentine Motyka's Immigration papers.
It has been over 90 days since I sent my request and money for a Search for Valentine Motyka's Immigration papers or any other papers in his folder to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. On the 28 Sept, 2015 I sent an email requesting reason why. They responded saying " Please note that the Index Search request processing is operation on a a delay but we are working to complete all requests as soon as possible." So who knows when this will come about. I'll keep you posted.
