I have been researching a group of NJ residents that migrated from Monmouth and Middlesex Co. NJ to area of Seneca Co. and Wayne Co. NY right around 1800. They were Dutch and Scots and English. The families of John Buys and Samuel Gordon and Israel Brown are the ones I am directly working on, but many more went at that time from NJ, including Cranmers from Morris Co. and Guerins from Morris Co. NJ. Since I knew my Cranmers: Noadiah Cranmer and sons: John and Stephen, walked over the mountains and up valleys to what is now Bradford Co. PA. Others went that way and on up into what is Steuben Co. NY. Well, I found mention of another route into the Finger Lakes area of NY, mentioned in a local history of Seneca Co. NY: They went up the Hudson on a boat to Albany and then over the Mohawk River valley. If your family went from NJ in the flood of NJ families that made that move after the Rev. War, they might have gone the "river" route instead of directly up from NJ through PA to NY. Elsie Wilson BUYS, GORDON, CRAIG, GUERIN, CRANMER and many more! :-) Elsie H. Wilson 5620 Harris Cir.
