NEW JERSEY WOMEN FIRST POSTMASTERS

New Jersey Women First Postmasters

121 Women Appointed 1828-1974

The editor of the Journal of the New Jersey Postal History Society, Jean Walton, mentioned to me that she is frequently asked about women postmasters in New Jersey. Most wonder, she tells me , if there ever were any. The State of New Jersey always had women postmasters. To aid in this subject area I devised this study.

First Woman Postmaster in New Jersey Elain Genung (2/23/1828--12/6/1834), Warren, Somerset County.

Genung was appointed during the John Quincy Adams administration and during the Governance of Isaac Halstead Williamson, 5 days before the 1st anniversary of the B&O RR. Nothing is known of Elain Genung, as of August 10, 2019.

There were sixty (60) Women First Postmasters in New Jersey in the 19th Century. Another sixty-one (61) were appointed in the 20th Century up to 1974 ending with the Kay & Smith database. The 1890's saw a boon to women appointments. During the administration of Governor Werts (1893-1896) there were fifteen (15) women First Postmaster appointments in three years. Previously, during the two terms of Governor Abbett (1884-1892) thirteen (13) women First Postmasters were appointed.

The Women First Postmasters were gleaned from John L. Kay and Chester M. Smith, New Jersey Postal History (1977)
