Notes

Note: Lead: John Henry Lennon, b. 20 Apr 1883, in this database, may be a possible relative.
The story I heard as a child, either from my mother or my grandmother, Marguerite McGowan Lennon, was that Philip John Lennon's two sons, Philip Henry and John Francis, were studying law when their father died unexpectedly at age 57. Their father, Philip John, was a newspaper publisher. As law students, they were involved with printing connected with the study of law, but had to quit law school for financial reasons. The two took the printing skills, and perhaps some of the equipment, and went into commercial printing.

Philip H. Lennon and Marguerite Wilks
|
Philip H. Lennon, son of Philip John and Gertrude Lennon, was studying law in Philadelphia at the time of his father's murder, but had to abandon his studies to become a printer. He started a printing business, the Lennon Bros., with his brother John.
|
Their printing plant was in Bloomfield, New Jersey, supervised by John Lennon. Philip H. Lennon had his office in Newark, New Jersey.
|
John Lennon soon left the Lennon Bros. printing business to study for the Methodist ministry, and married Martha Dupre. They had three children: John (who also became a Methodist minister), Martha, and William.
|
Philip closed the Newark office to supervise the Bloomfield plant when his brother left, changing the firm's name to The Lennon Press. Later he moved the family and business to the second floor of a building above a post office and a grocery store on Mount Pleasant Avenue, Hanover Center (now named East Hanover), New Jersey.
|
Philip H. Lennon married Marguerite Wilks of Williamson Avenue, Bloomfield, New Jersey, about 1910 at Sacred Heart Church. They had four children: Philip Walter, Mary Catherine, Frances Howe, and Marguerite Gertrude.
Incorporated in 1928, the Township of East Hanover covers an area of 8.2 square miles. It is 25 miles west of New York City and 15 miles west of the City of Newark. The Passaic River is on its Eastern border and the Whippany River is on its Western side. Parsippany, Troy Hills, Florham Park, Hanover Township (Whippany), Roseland, Livingston and Montville are the municipalities adjacent to East Hanover.
The Township of East Hanover was formed from Hanover Township on May 9, 1928.
