    1. [NJMORRIS] GILLESPIE, ABIGAIL, Newark, NJ
    2. Does anyone have records of the First and Second Presbyterian Church of Newark? I'm interested in locating ABIGAIL GILLESPIE and family (daughter, JANE, maybe other children) and/or husband ROBERT JAMES GILLESPIE (I believe he was dead at this time). The second Presbyterian Church was an offshoot of the First but located on the other side of town. Did people start at the First and then when Second Presby.Church completed in 1811, those living nearby transferred? Lastly, REVEREND HOOPER CUMMING was the first pastor of the 2nd Presby. and his brother-in-law was the pastor of the 1st (Dad John Cumming organized the building of the 2nd Presby). He married sometime around 5/1812 (7 months after church was dedicated) so I assume her name would be located in the church records. She drowned two months later, 7/1812. Anyone see her name in the records? I'm trying to avoid using the Presby. Historical Society for now. Thanks, Melissa
