    1. Re: Baptist Cem./Piscataway
    2. Gayle & Judy- I have copies of the Piscataway Baptist Church Yard, Raritan Twp (now Stelton section of Edison Twp) cemetery transcriptions that were published in "The Genealogical Magazine of NJ" Volume 14 p7-17 & 43-47 compiled by Donald A. Sinclair in 1937-8. He compares his info to 7 other compilations of the cemetery transciptions. He was an excellant authority on NJ research. If you would like a copy, please let me know.
