Hello Mike I do not know if there is a connection to your GARRISONS. My connection is in Deerfield , Cumberland Co. where the SMITHS and GARRISONS intermarried. Also John GARRISON was pastor of the Deerfield Presbyterian Church from 1795 until 1805. Later SMITHS in Ohio were still using GARRISON, PEARSALL, WAGGONER, and DAVENPORT as middle names from 1805-1845. John

At one time ALL of Cumberland County was Salem County as Salem County was one of the ORIGINAL counties in NJ. As to your question about Fairfield -- it's down further south of Bridgeton and east of Greenwich among the marshes and would be quite a trek in the 1700s however, people were especially dedicated about worshippin in those days, so I can understand their willingness to make the trip for Sunday (or Saturday) worship. Regards, Jeanne

Hello I need some help with the location of Deerfield , Cumberland Co. NJ. Is this a Township or a village? Would Deerfield have been in Salem Co. before the breakup to form Cumberland Co. NJ? My ancestors (SMITHS, DAVENPORTS, RAMSEYS and GARRISONS) are found in the records of the Deerfield Presbyterian Church. The records for this church state " With the sale of land at Deerfield , many Presbyterians of Fairfield moved into the area and established a church" . Where would the Presbyterian Church of Fairfield been located? My date would be before and after 1715. Thank you John Newbright

I had computer problems earlier this week and lost lots of incoming mail. Anyone who replied to my query on the WAGGONER, SAILOR OR SAYLOR OR SEILER, GARRISON, and FLACK names, please write me again!! Thanks! Elaine Waiters ewaiters@thegrid.net

It seems that the March 1st date may not have been correct. Here's an update I got today: Message: I just returned from a meeting at the Family History Center where I volunteer. I now have the true scoop on the LDS records that will be available online. First of all there are several different types of records that are kept at all Family History Centers. There is never a charge for use of any of this information (nominal fees for printouts). The main files are the Ancestral File, the International Genealogical Index, and the Family History Library Catalogue. The Ancestral file is basically no different than the disks sold by family tree maker containing ancestor charts. The info on these charts can be submitted by anyone whither or not they are a member of the church. The International Genealogical Index information can only be submitted by members. It consists of Individual data that lists birthdates, place of birth and parents. There is a marriage index that gives date and place of marriage. And lastly a parent index which lists all children in a particular family. The info is obviously only as good as the person who submitted it to the file. We tell people to use the data as a starting point only and NOT to take it as the absolute proof. When anything is submitted to ancestral file, you can automatically find out who submitted it by hitting a source key. The persons name and address will be shown. The same is not true for the IGI. You need to order the microfilm in order to find out who the submitter was. The church is currently working very hard at extracting as much information as possible from original records. It is an ongoing process that is checked and double checked for accuracy. As the data becomes available it is distributed to the libraries, once again at no charge to patrons. Neither of these files are going to be released online, at least not at this time. What is going to be released is the Family History Library Catalogue. It will be the most current version, more current than any library now has in it's possession. Basically the FHLC is a complete listing of every record in the possession of the Mormon libraries located anywhere in the world. You can search these records several ways. Locality, surname, film/fiche number/ and author. By finding out what is available you can then decide whether you might like to order the kinformation. Not everything is available for order. Many living people do not allow their books to be microfilmed. However, a library in your area may have the book listed. You can find that out through the catalogue. I have utilized this catalogue extensively throughout the years. I can save a lot of money if I discover that a film I am interested in ordering is in a nearby FHC. Now then, just when will it go online?? Good question. We were told "sometime in March." So it could be online as early as tomorrow, but maybe not. Don't be discouraged if it is not there tomorrow, just check back again. It is going to be online for about a month to see how it works. I have no idea what the plans are for future release. Anyway, you now have the facts straight from the top as I was told them at our meeting. The address will be Familysearch.org Hope this helps, Carolyn

Hi: I am new to this list. Does any one have proof of the parents of Benjamin Blizzard b. ca 1718 Maryland. Lived around Dividing Creek. M. Naomi Bedent (Biedent) Had a son John Blizzard b. 1748 d. 1806 Laura Gaskill Hager dhlgh@erols.com

Hi Everyone, I hope someone out there can help me with this family. I am at a dead end! Wilhelm or William WAGONER (also spelled WAGNER & WAGGONER in records) built a house in Bridgeton, Cumberland County, in 1762. According to THE HISTORY OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NJ, it was on the NW corner of Broad and Franklin. He also had a blacksmith shop there. He was married to Margaret or Maria Elesabeth SAILOR or SAILER or SEILER. They were listed as Godparents of children from two different families who were baptized in the Friesburg Emanuel Lutheran Church, Friesburg, Salem Co. Perhaps the Waggoner family also attended that church? Maria/Margaret's brother was Zachariah SAILOR. Wilhelm Wagner was named as Godfather at the baptism of Zachariah's son, Wilhelm SAILOR, in 1759. Zachariah's house was next to the WAGGONER's garden. Mrs. Maria Elesabeth WAGNER was named as Godmother for twins, Johann Philip and Susanna FLACK, children of Simon and Elizabeth FLACK, baptized 1757. I don't know how the two families are connected. William died in Bridgeton in 1772. He and Margaret/Maria (Sailor) WAGGONER had only two known children: 1. Margaret WAGGONER. She was mentioned in her father's will. No further record. 2. George WAGGONER, b. 5 May 1756. William GARRISON was appointed his guardian until the age of 21. George fought in the Rev War. He married Mary HOLLOWAY 13 Aug 1782 in Bottle Hill (now Madison) Morris County, NJ. He died in 1830 in Walpole, Ontario, Canada. I would love to know more about any of these people and will greatly appreciate any information, clues, suggestions, etc.!! Thanks! Elaine Waiters ewaiters@thegrid.net

I can do lookups at The New Jersey State Library in Trenton. Census, Birth, Death, Marriage, Etc. Very reasonable. Let me know if I can help. Geoffrey... EatFish1@aol.com

Hello, I'm new to the list. I'm working on the SOUDER families in Cumberland County. Anyone working on this surname? I'll post some charts soon. Win Wood =^..^= winwood@VFR.net RESEARCHING: COZART (WV IA); GILSON (PA OH IN); PARRISH (MD MO KS); DALTON (VA KY IL WI); WHEELER (MD); CHRISTY/IE (IN & Rowan & Iredell Co, NC); BROWN (Burke Co, NC and Owen, Greene & Monroe Co, IN and Warren & Mercer Co, IL); EMBERSON/EMERSON (VA, Ravalli Co, MT, Linn & Jones Co, IA, Ross & Pickaway Co, OH); GILMORE/GILMER/GILMOR (Rockingham Co, VA, Licking & Fairfield Co, OH, Jones Co, IA); SOUDER (NJ IA MN MO); GRIFFIN (DE and Pickaway Co, OH); RILEY (NJ); BOWERS (PA); FRASER (Rowan Co, NC); DAVIS (Pickaway & Ross Co, OH); SWARTS (PA); LEWIS (Indiana Co & Huntingdon Co, PA); and anywhere: BOGER, FRICKER/FRAKER, FRANKFORTER, LESNETT, CLUNK, HADLEY, WALSTON, LEANEY/LANEY, O'KANE, DEVOSS

I'm working on the Souder family also. The only SOUDER I have so far is: Elizabeth SOUDER (b.10-6-1796 Cumberland Co., NJ; d.8-14-1872). She married Jonathan GARTON (b.8-6-1796 Cumberland Co; d.12-5-1879 Wells Co., IN) in 1816 in Cumberland County. They had a granddaughter, Rachel Lyn DAILEY who may have married a Souder (I have it as "Sowards?", because of unreadable handwriting). Rachel was born in Wells County, IN. I learned of a will for George Souder in 1851 which names a child Elizabeth, wife of Jonathan Garton, so this could be my Elizabeth's father. I'm also working on the DAILEY family of Cumberland and Camden counties. Janis Gatschet

Maybe I'm just thick, but what are these messages in mime format? It seems that you have to wade through pages of goblety gook to find one line that means something, if you can find anything at all.

Hello, I'm looking for information on the family and ancestry of Bathsheba H. ROCAP, b. Oct 1810. She married John Abbott PARVIN in Jan. 1831, and had two children: 1. Lydia PARVIN, who died in St. Louis, MO of cholera, in 1849 2. Thomas PARVIN, b. Dec. 1832, Fairton NJ - d. 1902, Cowley Co. KS, my 3rd great grandfather. I read that Bathsheba H.
