1 NAME James  /Godfrey/
1 SEX M
1 BIRT
2 DATE ABT    1385
2 PLAC Lydd,Kent County,England
1 NOTE James Godfrey is the most remote traceable ancestor I can identify by
2 CONT direct line. Since his heir and son was born in 1430, I made an
2 CONT assumption that he was probably born in the late 1300's.
1 NOTE The Godfrey family lived in and around Lydd from at least the 600's AD.
2 CONT It seems logical to imagine a direct relationship but proof is lacking. The
2 CONT first five generations of which we have record, show only the heir, not
2 CONT the wife, few dates, no siblings.
1 NOTE Lydd, located in Kent County which is the southeast part of Great Britain,
2 CONT may be found on a triangular protuberance of land about midway between
2 CONT Dover, to it's northeast, famous for it's white chalk cliffs and Hastings,
2 CONT to it's southwest, famous for being the site of the battle of the
2 CONT Anglo-Saxons and the Normans in 1066. The Kent County area of Great
2 CONT Britain was conquered by the brothers, Hengist and Horsa in 449 AD. They
2 CONT were Jutes and had been asked by the Britains to help them defend
2 CONT against the Picts. After the Picts were defeated, Hengists and Horsa
2 CONT settled in Kent. Eventually they revolted against the Britains and Horsa
2 CONT was killed.
1 NOTE The Jutes are believed to be related to the inhabitants of Jutland. Today
2 CONT that area is called Denmark but at that time it also incorporated parts of
2 CONT northern Germany. The Angles and the Saxons originated in the same
2 CONT general area. The area of Kent bordered the territory of the Saxons, who
2 CONT with the Angles also helped to settle Britain and drove the Britains
2 CONT westward into present day Wales, (Celts?). These are the people who
2 CONT gave the name to England, (Angleland?).
1 NOTE Through assimilation, the Jutes gradually lost their identity as a people
2 CONT and by the 8th Century the term Jute had almost disappeared from the
2 CONT English language. The above information is according to the Anglo-Saxon
2 CONT historian, Bede the Venerable and from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles.
1 NOTE In all probability, at least that branch of our family tree was Germanic
2 CONT in it's origin.
1 NOTE 650 AD. Godfrey held manors in Petham and West Farleigh. "A Knight of
2 CONT the Archbishop" held him in Lenham and some lands in Shippey. Godfrey
2 CONT obtained lands from Henry 2nd. Lenham still exists and may be found
2 CONT midway between Maidstone and Ashford, all in Kent County. Shippey does
2 CONT not exist by that spelling, but there is an island of Shippey straight
2 CONT north of Lenham. Petham and West Farleigh both still exist.
1 NOTE As you read through this Family Tree, as I have tried to recreate it, you
2 CONT will find frequent references to the title "Esquire" or "Esg". As near as I
2 CONT am able to tell, Esquire was, with the English Gentry, a rank just below
2 CONT "Knight" and it also denotes a substantial land owner. They would be
2 CONT addressed as "So and So of Lydd, Esquire". A knight would be addressed as
2 CONT "Sir So and So". There is at least one identifiable knight in the family and
2 CONT most all were landed.

2 CONT Bridgeton.
1 NOTE My grandmother, Anna Mary Hallinger (Warren), was born October 16,
2 CONT 1866, the fourth child of this marriage.
1 NOTE I am confident that Mary Godfrey Hallinger lived beyond April 27, 1927
2 CONT because that is the date Eva Budd Hallinger Bodine, her daughter, signed
2 CONT the Family Tree from which I have gathered much of the information
2 CONT contained herein. If her mother had died prior to that date I am
2 CONT confiddent that her date of death and burial location would have been
2 CONT included in that document. Therefore she lived a minimum of 88 years
2 CONT and appeared healthy enough to last into her 90's based on the photos I
2 CONT have seen.
1 NOTE I hope someday to be able to research both the Bridgeton and Tuckahoe
2 CONT cemetaries for confirmation.

2 DATE  1 APR 1838

2 DATE 15 NOV 1924
1 NOTE David Budd Hallinger attended my mother and fathers wedding, May 14,
2 CONT 1921. he was 83 years old and he lived until November 15, 1924. Whether
2 CONT he ever saw me, his great grandson before his death, I have no way of
2 CONT knowing. His wife, Mary was about eight months his junior. She also
2 CONT attended the wedding. Her signature in the guest register was firm,
2 CONT unlike her husbands.
2 CONT I have no information on the date or location of her (Marys) death or
2 CONT burial, but it was probably in Bridgeton, N.J. It is certain that she
2 CONT outlived her husband, because the family tree, as created by Eva Budd
2 CONT Bodine, was completed April 27, 1927. Since she (Eva) was a daughter of
2 CONT David and Mary, and a younger sister of my grandmother, she would
2 CONT surely have known of and noted the death of her mother. We can deduce
2 CONT that she lived to be at least 89 years old.
1 NOTE I have several photographs of this, my Great grandfather and his wife,
2 CONT my Great grandmother. These were taken on the "farm" which I now
2 CONT believe must have been located in or near Bridgeton. They looked like
2 CONT typical farming folk of the time.
1 NOTE The photographs show my Great grandfather on the left, his wife Mary
2 CONT next to him, my grandmother and a lady who looks much like her and may
2 CONT have been her sister, Lillie Francis (Taylor). I knew Lillie and her
2 CONT daughter Marion. After I returned home from the hospital, following my
2 CONT appendectomy in 1928, they visited me in my bedroom and brought me a
2 CONT large grey blue book which contained the Adventures of Teddy A and
2 CONT Teddy B. (What an odd thing to remember after 64 years!) I remember
2 CONT Marion as being very sweet and quite pretty. She would have been about
2 CONT 28 years old. I remeber her mother as being quite domineering, a very
2 CONT strong personality. In the background of the photo there is a younger
2 CONT female who could have been Eva Budd. I judge that the picture was taken
2 CONT about 1906-10. Eva would have been about 30-34, the probable age of the
2 CONT girl I described. She was married at the age of 34. I have been unable to
2 CONT identify the two crouching males on either side of my mother in the
2 CONT front row. I assume my grandfather took the picture, but if not, the man
2 CONT on the right could be him.
1 NOTE I deduce that Budd is a family name and may in fact have been my Great
2 CONT Great grandmothers maiden name. The name was given to my
2 CONT Grandmothers youngest sister as her middle name. (Eva Budd Hallinger
2 CONT Bodine).

2 DATE  5 JAN 1859
1 NOTE Hiram married Jessie Stephen on April 2, 1859. They had five children.
2 CONT The eldest was Dr. Earl Stephen Hallinger, a throat and ear specialist. He
2 CONT was born Jan. 22, 1880 in camden, N.J. On October 5, 1905 he married
2 CONT Sarah Figner, daughter of Alfred and Wilhemina Spong. They had five
2 CONT children.
1 NOTE Earl had a sister Rachel who was born July of 1882 and died in 1888. he
2 CONT also had a brother William Potter Hallinger who was a realtor. he was
2 CONT born in Philadelphia, April 20, 1885. Married Francis Brown (DOB Oct. 16,
2 CONT 1888) on June 5, 1912. She was the daughter of Henry Atwood Brown and
2 CONT Clarissa Ware of Boston, MA. They had six children.
2 CONT There is another brother, Hiram Godfrey. he died at the age of eleven
2 CONT months.
2 CONT The good doctors last sibling was a sister, Jessie, who was born June 2,
2 CONT 1890. She married Edward Coyle, June 4, 1916. Mr Coyle was born July
2 CONT 24, 1879.
1 NOTE Hiram Godfrey hallinger had a second wife, Madeline Pierce. They were
2 CONT married June 2, 1925. I believe this is the "Unlce" Hiram who kept a boat
2 CONT in Ocean City, N.J. and used to take me out on it frequently. I was
2 CONT probably 7-9 years old. He would have been close to seventy. I remeber
2 CONT him as being a slight gentleman with snow white hair and a white
2 CONT trimmed small mustache. His wife, Madeline was a large woman with a
2 CONT pile of white hair. He drove a car which seated two people. I doubt if it
2 CONT had a rumble seat because there was a spare tire which kept me from
2 CONT falling off the rear deck as we drove slowly to the dock.
1 NOTE I also recall my mother and father going out with us once. My mother got
2 CONT terribly seasick and had to lay down in the cabin. (The worst thing she
2 CONT could have done.) I never got seasick until I was an adolescent. By then,
2 CONT "Uncle Hirams" boat was just a memory and perhaps he was too. By then I
2 CONT was going out in a friends fathers boat, the "Billelmcliff", named for the
2 CONT father (Bill) one son, my friend (Elmer) and his younger brother, Clifford.
2 CONT I managed to get sick every time. Never did get over it, yet I quickly got
2 CONT over being airsick which involves even more motion.

2 PLAC New Zealand
1 NOTE Anna Mary was my maternal grandmother. April 5, 1893 she married my
2 CONT grandfather, Raymond Lee Warren. She died off the New Zealand coast
2 CONT onboard the Cunnard Liner Franconia, while on a round the world cruise,
2 CONT (not their first) on February 24, 1927. She died of breast cancer. She and
2 CONT my grandfather had also been on a world cruise in 1924.
1 NOTE I only vaguely remember Grandmother Warren. I was only five when she
2 CONT died. In my memory she was a very reserved and sort of distant person,
2 CONT as compared to her husband, my grandfather. Perhaps she was already
2 CONT suffering from the ravages of cancer and was in pain during that short
2 CONT period of her life that I can remember.
2 CONT I do recall going to the dock in New York City to welcome home my
2 CONT grandfather and I still can recall recall spotting him on the ship, drying
2 CONT his eyes with a white handkerchief.
1 NOTE One strange thing about their home on Maple Avenue, Merchantville, N.J.
2 CONT which I can remember is a piano against the staircase to the left of the
2 CONT livingroom on which there was a stuffed alligator, brown in color and
2 CONT surely not the 2 1/2-3 feet in length which I remember!
1 NOTE She is buried in the mausoleum in Harleigh Cemetary, Camden, N.J. She
2 CONT grew up on a farm in the mid 19th Century. The quality of her formal
2 CONT education is questionable. My mother learned alot while in college and
2 CONT had an entirely different lifestyle but retained many of the prejudices.
2 CONT She really was a product of the early 20th Century, the period of which I
2 CONT too am a product except that I am one generation more removed from the
2 CONT farm and I received an excellant education. While it may be close, I may
2 CONT make it into the 21st century. If I do, it will be over one hundred years
2 CONT after my mothers birth and nearly 150 years after my grandmothers
2 CONT birth.

2 DATE 18 OCT 1946
2 PLAC Maywood,New Jersey
1 NOTE I was probably closer to my grandfather than to anyother family member
2 CONT with the exception of my mother. We took many trips together by
2 CONT automobile. He was more like a friend than a relative. He was a Shriner, a
2 CONT 32nd Degree Mason, a Moose. He gave me the keys to his Cadillac when I
2 CONT was eighteen, along with his gas credit cards. When he needed the car he
2 CONT asked me for it. I'm sure he spoiled me rotten, but I was his only male
2 CONT descendant. After my mother died I think he transferred all the love he
2 CONT had for her to me. His second wife died less than a year after my mother
2 CONT died and I am sure he was very lonely. He came to live with us and I
2 CONT really enjoyed his company.
1 NOTE He never finished grammar school but with his constant reading and
2 CONT travel he was well educated. he made a fortune by saving his lunch money
2 CONT and investing it in realestate. he had a stroke while I was in the service
2 CONT and he went to a retired businessmans home in North Jersey (Maywood).
2 CONT It was there he died. I visited him after leaving the service in late 1945.
2 CONT Then, he had a second stroke and his hair turned white and he didn't know
2 CONT who I was. he died October 18, 1946. He is buried in the mausoleum he
2 CONT built for his family in Harleigh Cemetary, Camden, N.J.
1 NOTE Until I, or another family member can visit the Warren cemetary Plot in
2 CONT Smyrna, Delaware to see if any additional information can be gained, I
2 CONT will remain uncertain as to his place of birth. He may have been born in
2 CONT Smyrna, or perhaps the family plot belonged to his grandparents and his
2 CONT own parents may have moved north. I don't know why I think he was born
2 CONT in Philadelphia, but I seem to recall that he would return to the farm in
2 CONT Delaware during the summer to work. He did tell me he had worked in a
2 CONT canning plant in Smyrna and he pointed it out to me. I was quite young
2 CONT and while I have some pictures I took in 1979 or 1980 of the building I
2 CONT think is the one he pointed out, I cannot be sure.
1 NOTE In retrospect, his life was rather sad. He worked very hard to gain a
2 CONT position of respect and affluence. he had less than a highschool
2 CONT education, yet he was well read and widely traveled. He lost his first
2 CONT wife of 34 years to a dibilitating disease, his only child, my mother
2 CONT seven years later. He married "Aunt" Carrie Sweetin a little over a year
2 CONT after his first wifes death, she died a little over a year following my
2 CONT mothers death. he married once more and lived in Ocean City, N.J. only to
2 CONT wake up one morning and find his wife dead in bed with him. That was
2 CONT such a short marriage that I cannot recall her name and do not know
2 CONT where she is buried. he returned to live with us at 309 E. Maple Ave.,
2 CONT Merchantville, N.J. again. His last few years are covered above.
1 NOTE I do not know if he had any sisters, living or dead. I met both of his
2 CONT brothers but I do not know who was the eldest, who was youngest, etc.
2 CONT They all seemed about the same age to me. Harry A. I believe was called
2 CONT Captain and I think this was a rank he held at sea. Clyde was still on a
2 CONT farm when I met him. I believe the farm was in southeastern PA., but I
2 CONT am not certain of this. I know we visited some relative (female) on a
2 CONT farm in Maryland once. Her house still had kerosene lamps which
2 CONT fascinated me. The home itself was well furnished and neat, as I recall. I
2 CONT have no idea who she was or where in Maryland the farm was located, but
2 CONT I don't think it was very far from Smyrna, Delaware, because it seemed
2 CONT to me that we visited there on a side trip on one of our jaunts to Smyrna.
1 NOTE I need to find the Warren burial plot in Smyrna. I believe that the Odd
2 CONT Fellows Cemetary is the only one in Smyrna and the Warren Plot is not
2 CONT too far away from the Smith Plot.
