Hi, For a long time now I have listed George STOCKHAM as marrying Sarah W. LONG. They had a number of kids. One married a CAKE. Now the death cert for Elizabeth Sarah CAKE, a daughter, indicated that Sarah's maiden name was actually OPDYKE, and not LONG. This Sarah OPDYKE is written up as a descendant of Samuel FARNSWORTH: Bordentown. Special to The Inquirer. BORDENTOWN. Nov. 13.--Mr. and Mrs. George Stockham, two of this city's oldest residents, celebrated their sixty-second anniversary of their marriage at their home on Farns- worth avenue Tuesday. They were married November 9, 1835, by Rev. John C. Harrison, D. D., pastor of the Baptist church here. They have re- sided in the same house ever since. Mr. Stockham was born in Penn's Manor, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, in 1812. Mrs. Stockham is a native of this place and was born in 1813. She is a descendant of Samuel Farns- worth, Bordentown's first settler. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mr. Stockham, and but one survives, Mrs. Edward Knight Cake, of Wash- ington, D. C., who, with her husband, attended the an[n]iversary. The couple are hale and hearty for their advanced age, and delight in relating interesting reminiscences of their early days. While a resident of Philadelphia Mr. Stockham was a member of the Hu- mane Fire Engine Company, Philadel- phia's first volunteer fire company. Mr. and Mrs. John Edwards, relatives of the old couple, and who have also been married sixty-two years, were among those who called to offer con- gratulations. Can anyone tell me of the parentage of Sarah OPDYKE? I haven't a clue. Thanks! Vince Summers
