Rick, I don't think you'll have trouble locating info on your Garrigus family by looking at the Morris Co. Rootsweb site. I know I've seen that name in several of the cemetery and church rosters. The following mention is made in J.P. Crayon's 1894 "History of the Cooper Family" (which focusses on Morris Co. & Rockaway families): "Jacob Garrigus settled in Morris Co. from Philadelphia. His father came from France. His sons David, Jacob Jr., Isaac and John each served in the Revolution. They enlisted with Joseph Casterline, who lived and owned the property now occupied by Wm. H. Casterline near the Union School House, as minutemen under Capt. Robert Gaston of Rockaway, in Lt. Josiah Hall's company in the regular army, and were in several engagements, most of them in this State. These names may be found early connected with the old Rockaway Presbyterian Church. David Garrigus, soon after the Revolution, purchased 600 acres, which now includes the late John O'Hill property and the old Franklin Forge property. He built the house on the John O'Hill property and re-built and worked the Franklin Forge. He removed to Hamilton, OH about 1806 and died there."
