I am looking for help - suggestions - anything. I've run dry. I have collected a great deal of information regarding my fourth great grandfather, Andrew Norwood, much of it because of help from the outstanding researchers on this email list. However, the one record that has eluded me is the record of his marriage to Annetje (Hannah) Van Orden which occurred about 1735. (That estimated date is based solely on the date of the first known child, Catrena, baptized in New Brunswick, Middlesex, NJ May 1737.) I have assumed that they married in New Jersey, but of course, I don't know that. Her brothers Peter & Tobias were in New Brunswick about that time. Peter's child was baptized there in Jun 1734. But the Van Ordens and Norwood came from New York City, so I'm looking everywhere and not making any assumptions on that. Both Annetje and Andrew were baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City, and Andrew was apprenticed as a wigmaker in New York City from 1718 - 1725. About that time he was listed as one of the early men who established Hoosick - where he was buried in 1787. So like so many, he has connections all over, and so I've been trying to concentrate on her - where she was, how and when he might have connected with her. My next project is to track her father, Johannes Van Orden. He baptized the last child that I can find, Henrika in 1725 in New York City. Does anyone out there know if and when he moved to New Jersey? And any recommendations for further research? I've gone through every single book, contacted every society, archives, etc., that I can find, but have struck out completely. Any ideas? Appreciate any suggestions you might have.
