The dates following pertaining to John Buckalew and his descendants are from a typed copy of a Bible record from the Genealogical Society of NJ.

Note from the owner of the Bible: As far as I know, John Manley was from New Brunswick. John Buckelew and Eleanor Manley were married Mar. 17, 1805 in Middlesex Co. Lewis C. Buckelew was a blacksmith in Freehold, NJ. Andrew S. Buckelew was born in Perrinville, NJ. Caroline Striker was daughter of Elias Stryker of Freehold, NJ. Andrew & Caroline Buckelew are buried at Old Brick Church, Marlboro.

Note by Al Stokes: John Buckelew is the son of John Buckelew and Mary Allen. This record presents only his second marriage. He was first married to Anna Manley, also a daughter of John and Charity Manley. John and both wives are buried in Brainerd Cemetery in Cranbury, NJ. The Manleys attended the Six Mile Run Reformed Church where their children were baptised. Anna on Jan. 20, 1765, and Neitye (Eleanor) on Sept. 6, 1767. The tombstone for Eleanor in the Cranbury graveyard is misleading. It reads "died Feb. 14, 1845, aged 71 years, 5 months and 5 day." Other stones read "John Buckelew died Dec. 26, 1837 in 82nd year" and "Anna Manley, wife of John Buckelew died Sept. 26, 1804 in 40th year." The baptism of three children of John and Anna Manley Buckelew are recorded at the Dutch Reformed Church in New Brunswick on Mar. 30, 1794, namely John Manley Buckelew, Peter Buckelew and Richard Manley Buckelew.

"Peter BUCKELEW, John BUCKELEW, and Richard BUCKELEW were all born in New Brunswick, NJ and were all baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church in New Brunswick on 30 Mar 1794. Richard BUCKELEW married Sarah JOHNSON, daughter of Abraham JOHNSON and Mary __________ of Freehold, Monmouth County, NJ."
