    1. [NJPASSAI-L] Old Graveyard on First Street - Hohokus, NJ
    2. I have been searching some local cemeteries trying to find the graves of some of my family. One of the cemeteries I visited was the following. As recently as one month ago, there was only about 4 or 5 gravestones visible, and, of them, all I could read were Zabriskie. However, I recently was lent a book called "Background of Ho-Ho-Kus History", by Sue F. Hudson and the following was on page 181: (Since I have never seen this one posted I thought it may be of some help to those searching their family) List of Names on Stones in the Old Graveyard on First Street in Ho-Ho-Kus, near the Erie Railroad Station". Copied May 30, 1910 by John Neafie of New York City. Copy of this list is in the possession of the Bergen County Historical Society. 1. Garret Hopper, d. Feb. 17, 1792, -aged 69 years 2. Elsey, consort of Garret Hopper, d. Mch 8 1816 - aged 89 yrs. 11 mos. 3. Mary, consort of Henry Zabriskie, d. June 3, 1821 - aged 69 yrs. 8 mos. 4. A large brown stone next to the above, with the lettering all scaled off, with a foot stone marked - C.I.Z 5. Mrs. Francis W. Perry, widow of James H. Perry, Esq., and daughter of Mr. H. and Mrs. Sally Zabriskie b. June 25, 1814 d. Nov. 27, 1834 - ae 20 years 6. Henry Zabriskie Junr d. Feb. 23, 1839 - age 22-5-5 ds. 7. Henry H. Zabriskie, d.

Feb. 26, 1844 - aged 90 yrs. 2 mos. A number of rough stones without marks (Another record says that stone No. 4 marked C.I.Z., refers to Casparis, son of Mary Zabriskie; also that Ann Bamper, stone No. 12, was the daughter of Elsie Hopper.) I am searching for Daniel Blauvelt, Annetje Banta, Adam Folley and Jannetje Blauvelt, Hannah Folley and David Storms, as well as John J. Storms and Jane Guest. All of the above were located in Franklin Township, except for John J. Storms, who was living in Wayne Township near the end of his life, and possibly David Storms, who may have been living in Paterson at the time of his death. If anyone runs across any of these names in their search, please let me know. Thanks, Jean
