We know that Delia Hennion married a John J Tuers, and that both families were possibly from Morris County. Working with a direct descendant of Cornelius Tuers, we are quite certain that John Jasper Tuers is the correct name of Delia Hennion's husband, and we know that his father's name was Cornelius. However, we have not proven that we have correctly linked John Jasper to this Cornelius. Both names appear in both Newark Census and Newark directories. Ages and locations support a correlation, but we have found no primary records to support our postulation.

Rather than omit these families, we have chosen to show this Parent/Child link in the hopes that we may find additional records that will help us prove a correct line, allowing a link with which we can provide subsequent family groups.

Children's names are taken from 1860, 1870, and 1880 Census, Newark, Essex, NJ.

Also living with the family in 1880 were:
Mary Barries, age 22, servant
her child, Carrie A, age 1
Cellia Leimons, age 25, servant

In various census, John J Tuers occupation is listed as "Jappaner". This is a 19th century term for someone who varnishes wooden furniture with a hard brilliant coat of hard lacquer. Invented in Japan.
