Hello Middlesex County Researchers, For the second time this year a Historic Middlesex County Church was destroyed by the wreckers ball. Just two months after the destruction of the Holy Trinity Church in Perth Amboy, the old Tabernacle Baptist Church building in South River was razed to make way for a parking lot. I passed the site Sunday morning. All that is left is a pile of rubble with an orange plastic fence around it. I can tell you that someone isn't happy about the churches destruction. On the fence was a hand written sign stating "History Destroyed by the Taber Baptist Church, an enemy of South River". More information can be seen at: <http://www.rootsweb.com/~njmiddle/MidConews/tabernaclebaptist.htm> I am hoping to get information on the Holy Trinity Church razing soon. In contrast to these events the Trinity Episcopal Church in Woodbridge celebrated its 300 birthday. If you are researching Woodbridge in the 1700's this church and the First Presbyterian churches would be the ones your looking for. I have also uncovered two Cemeteries in Sayreville. One is on Pulaski Avenue and the other is on Washington Avenue. There are also more cemeteries in Perth Amboy and Woodbridge that I have to investigate. These are on New Brunswick Avenue and Florida Grove Road. In Piscataway there is a family plot on Centennial Avenue. I have to check that one out also. There is also a rumor of another family plot behind the new Loew's Theatre complex on Route One. If anyone has any information on any of these cemeteries please contact me. Also, is it customary for Catholic Cemeteries to have a large cross (10 - 12 foot high) just beyond the entrance? Thank You, Glenn G.
