I recently learned that a relative, (Clemow surname, forename: Shadrach/Shedrick)was born in Ridgewood, in either 1855 or 56. Maria the mother, son's name same as father; other sons may be present, as well. Shedrick Sr. worked in the mining trade,possibly as a mining agent/prospector according to family story. I was hoping to see if the surname appears on the 1855 state census for NJ; assume no directory would be around at that time. Clemow has been captured as clyma,clemo and clemon. All born England, with the exception of Shedrick Clemow born 1855/6. Looking to establish a location in town to determine a baptismal church (hopefully). Immigrants. thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
