    1. [NJMONMOU] Rosehill Cemetery, Matawan, NJ
    2. Hello, I had unsubscribed for a while and due to technical problems I can't find the address for the contact for information for Rosehill Cemetery in Matawan. Would someone be so kind as to e-mail it to me. Also, does anyone know if either the Matawan or Monmouth County Historical Society has a complete listing of the older interments - since it is still an active cemetery. My husband and I visited the Cemetery recently, looking for a grave that was supposedly toward the back of the cemetery. We will have to ask for more specific information. Although I had lived in Matawan for two years I did not realize the size of the cemetery. I had only seen what you can see from outside the fence off Ravine Drive. We actually drove through most of the cemetery. I saw a lot of familiar names in his family tree. We shot two rolls of film - for gravestones that are definitely relatives and a lot of maybes. There are a lot of those older white stones lying on the ground that are becoming unreadable. We tried photographing one earlier this month and it didn't come out. We tried again, hopefully this one will. It is not an ancestor, but definitely part of our collateral family tree. If someone needs information from this cemetery and they are of an extremely patient nature - then I will try to oblige them if I can. I will have to wait until my husband is again available to drive me through the cemetery due to the size and the landscape. I do not wish to drive our car on those narrow stone paths, with steep inclines. Names in our family include CONOVER, RINEAR, VanPELT and NIVISON - - we suspect that there is a connection between the NIVISON family and the FOUNTAIN family, but have not yet made it - can anyone tell us what the connection is? Many thanks for any help. Kit WILLMOT-Hickey, South Toms River, NJ
