Parent-Proof notes for Unnamed Ulp
I’ve added this unnamed son of Barnet so I have some place to tell the story of Mary Vass.
I have found evidence of a woman apparently of maiden name Mary Vass. She became the second wife of Michael Wildrick. But she brought four children named Ulp into that marriage -- so I have to assume she had been married first to a man named Ulp. One of those four children happened to be named Conrad and he later married Ellen (possibly Eleanor) Wildrick, Michael’s daughter by his first marriage.
This all took place in Sussex County, NJ. Ellen and Conrad baptized a daughter Rachel in the Stillwater Presbyterian Church in 1818 -- the name was spelled Ulss, but I think it is them. This was the same church where there was record of the second marriage of Elsie Ann Ulp to Henry Saabakuhl. I guess the Ulps were Presbyterian -- could they have been of Scottish origin?

My Comments notes for Mary (Spouse 1)
I know there was a woman named Mary Vass who had married an Ulp before marrying Michael Wildrick and I know there was a Jacob Ulp whose wife’s name I don’t know -- so I have paired them up. Some Internet trees though say Jacob’s wife was Elizabeth Scheiner.
