I called Vernon Township NJ & the state didn't keep records of births before 1848. I was trying to find samuel's birth cert. so many dead beat aves. I've been trying to check the earlier census's like 1860, 1870 for samuel & any of his sons, but can't seem to find anything in those years. crazy, huh. like he disappeared in that time period. kathy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
