Hello, I am the daughter of the late George William Hufnagel, III who grew up in Riverside, NJ and was a Jockey and Horseman. His mother was Edith Raven Hufnagel D. Roberts, of the Raven family of Frech Avenue in Riverside, Burlington County, New Jersey. I believe they had a farm there at one time on Frech Avenue. My Great Aunt Ruth Raven was the last of the family to live in the family home there in the early 1980s.
Edith Raven, my gradmother, was the daughter of Thomas Raven [born 9-20-1868 and died 4-1-1945] and Marie Gissell [or Giselle] "Bertha" Lamberty [born 4-6-1881 and died June 1971]. Thomas Raven had three or possibly four brothers: George Raven of Florida; John Raven of Florida; Ralph Raven of Philadelphia, PA; and possibly Arthur Raven. Thomas had a sister, as well, I only know of her as "Mrs. George Stauts" of Florida. Edith, was a Catholic and I believe that she had some connection with a Catholic Church in Riverside. Her last husband was William Roberts of Riverside and I believe that Riverside, NJ was her last residence. Any information, or leads to information, regarding the Raven family from Riverside, New Jersey, would be greatly appreciated as I have no idea regarding that part of my family history. Thank you for your time and consideration in reading this request. Best Regards, Wendilyn [nee Hufnagel] Emrys email: wendilyn@wendilynemrys.com
