    3. This was posted on Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter: After checking the pdf file I see there is a Cornelius Westerfield buried here. Does anyone know if this Cornelius is related to the Westerfield of Davies and Ohio Co? ================================ "- Seeking Descendants of Those Buried in New Jersey Cemetery The New Jersey Turnpike Authority is seeking the descendants of those buried in a potters' field cemetery in Hudson County. The turnpike needs the land to build an interchange that will serve the Secaucus Transfer train station near Laurel Hill. The cemetery on those grounds was used by Hudson County's former poorhouse, mental hospital, and penitentiary. More than 3,500 bodies may be in the ground, located behind a prison annex and under an elevated section of highway. A complete list of those buried is available on the turnpike's Web site at http://www.state.nj.us/turnpike/burial%20list.pdf. If you have ancestry in or around Hudson County, you should check this list for any possible relatives." Denise
