*Many thanks* for the correction. The marriage record didn't indicate everything and when I looked up some of these locations on www.google.com, there seemed to be conflicting information. Like two High Bridges in two different but connecting counties! I don't know how time changes/boundary changes affected things either! My relatives seemed to live on the cusp of Warren and Sussex Counties! My GGrandparents are buried in the Tranquility Methodist Cemetery which is partially in Sussex County and partially in Warren County! I'm from Phoenix so I never heard of such weird boundary issues before! (Do you know what county Starport is in?)

It was located in Hunterdon Co at that time. It was there the last time I went to the Dutch Reformed church there recently also. Also there is a Waterloo on the Warren, Sussex county line. I believe it's in Sussex Co. When I went to school in High Bridge befor WWtwo there was a family of Morgans living in the town. Two of the sons, near my age, were Norman & Edward Morgan. My family was in Morris county from 1700 but we are apparently not related. ----- Original Message ----- From: <LPurch6636@aol.com> To: <NJMORRIS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 9:40 AM Subject: Re: [NJMORRIS] Morgans in Morris County > My Grandfather's first wife was Hannah ("Annie") Morgan whose parents were > Jacob and Sarah (Reed) Morgan.
