Hi Everyone, I am new to the list and I have a few quick questions. I just spent three days at the Archives in Trenton and learned that my 4th gr. grandparents were from Sussex Co. I have never searched this area and am not at all familiar with the names so please bear with me. 1. Does anyone know where Centreville is located? It is listed as the place of burial for Susan Riker Sargent. 2. Susan's parents are listed as Abraham and Susan Riker. Is anyone researching this family? 3. I am only assuming Susan is from here because she was brought back here for burial, and her husband's family was also from this area. 4. Her husband was Andrew Sargent and I have found him on the 1830 Sussex Census. Any help or suggestions are very welcome. Thank you in advance. Allice

Cathy, tried sending this directly to you but it was returned. Found an obit in NJHerald on Catherine S. (Carr) Drew which led me to do some research on Edmund Drew, her late husband. I found he was the son of Marion R. Drew and wife Edna M. I believe her (his mother) to be Edna M. Kinney, dau/o Robert G. Kinney and his wife, Ella Mills. Can you confirm?

OPEN INVITATION TO OUR SAFE DAY WOODLAND CEMETERY NEWARK, NJ FAMILY GRAVESITE VISITATION & TOMBSTONE RECORDING DAY Saturday, June 11, 2005 9:30 a.m. (rain date Sunday, June 12) For old friends who help each year, it's that time again. For new people who have never had the opportunity, this is your chance to go to Woodland Cemetery in Newark, NJ to visit your family gravesites in the security of a group. For those out of state, our volunteers will help with pictures and tombstone inscriptions of your family gravesite. Each year the Newark Police Dept. has provided us with on-site protection, for which we are very grateful. Woodland Cemetery in Newark has over 82,000 burials from 1856 to the present. We are not affiliated with Woodland Cemetery in any way, but work only as a volunteer group trying to preserve the tombstone inscriptions and helping family researchers find their ancestors through our computer database. For those who are able to attend, we ask that you allow some time to help record tombstone inscriptions. Please invite your friends (adults only) it is always an enjoyable day outdoors and you will be giving something back to the research community! We'll pair you up with someone, so please come even if you are by yourself. Anyone who will be searching for family gravesites and needs help in locating them, please e-mail us in advance to let us know what gravesite you will want to visit. We will not have all of the cemetery data with us so you must request a map as much ahead of time as possible. There is no office at the cemetery. This way we can check for your family names in the computer database and prepare a map in order to guide you. Anyone who cannot attend, but would like inscriptions and pictures of their family tombstones, please make arrangements with John or me ahead of time and we will do our best to record inscriptions and take pictures of your site, time permitting. To everyone: please let us know if you will be attending so we will have an approximate headcount. The day is Saturday, June 11, at 9:30 a.m. at the front gate (on South 10th St.), with a rain date of Sunday, June 12th, again at 9:30 a.m. If both days are raining, a new date will be set at a later time. If there is a question on the weather, anyone may call in the morning between 8:00-8:30 at 973-667-0450 to find out if we're still "on". The gate entrance for Woodland Cemetery is located at 670 South 10th Street between Springfield and Avon Avenues, Newark, NJ. Directions - take the Garden State Parkway to the Springfield Ave. Irvington Exit #143. Take Springfield Ave East to South 10th Street. Make a right onto South 10th Street. The cemetery is located a quarter mile down on the left side. As a reminder, here are a few suggestions if you are planning on joining us to record tombstone inscriptions: Wear long pants, a short-sleeved shirt, with a long sleeved shirt/sweatshirt over it. Wear socks and either sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes of some sort. If you will be spending a few hours with us, bring some cold bottled water or soda - you will get thirsty. Please bring: * pencils/pens - we'll supply the paper * clip board (if you have one, If not, we will have a few available) * camera (it helps to look through a camera lens to decipher a tombstone inscription), or a * digital camera if you have one we are collecting as many digital pictures of tombstones as we can but we still need the handwritten inscription also since the digital picture doesnt always show the exact inscription. * sunglasses (sometimes easier to see the inscription) * small garden tool(s) to pull back weeds from tombstone; * wide sidewalk chalk, (to rub difficult inscriptions ... dont buy it I have enough to go around) * a plastic bucket to put all your "stuff" in - the tools, camera, chalk, etc. - it makes it easier for you to carry everything from stone to stone. * an old towel or a kneeling cushion (theyre about $1.00 - youll thank me!) -- some tombstones only show a couple of inches above ground... Any questions, e-mail or call either of us: John Sass Mary Lish [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Bloomfield, NJ Nutley, NJ 973-748-0985 973-667-0450 Mary Lish [email protected]

Dalice, I can't find the 1790 and 1800 census for Sussex county. Were they included in the federal census? Dalice The Federal Census for all of New Jersey (including Sussex County) for the years 1790, 1800, 1810 and 1820 were, and no longer exist. Steve
I can't find the 1790 and 1800 census for Sussex county. Were they included in the federal census? Dalice
Sylvia If you can, leave a day for a trip to the NJ State Archives in Trenton. I'm sure you'll find it worthwhile! They have loads of early NJ records on microfilm and in manuscript collections. You would be almost guaranteed to find answers to some of your Sussex County questions there. Their website: http://www.state.nj.us/state/darm/index.html Sorry I can't help with places to stay or eat in Trenton or Sussex Co! Enjoy your research trip! Regards, Joan Joan M.

My Great-Grandfather, William H. Burd, was born in Sparta, NJ in 1836. He moved to Goshen, NY prior to the 1850 Census, which named his mother as Abby, and siblings, Samuel born 1822, Sarah born 1830, and Charles born 1835. Cannot find his parents names, (just Abby). Anyone with info on the Burd's of Sparta, New Jersey around 1836, please help. This is my brick wall. There is a lot of info on Burd's of New Jersey, but I can't pinpoint my Great-Grandfather. If you have suggestions of where to look, let me know. I would appreciate any assistance.
I plan to spend some time in Sussex County this month. Where is the best place to research, stay and eat?/\ Sylvia in [email protected]
First of all, to Connie Cleary - thanks for sending me a copy of the newspaper articles (100 Years Ago). Connie, please send me your email address. Since I change my email service I must have lost it. Query: In 100 Years Ago (23 February, 1905) it reads: "John SNOOK, of Centerville, was the guest of his brother-in-law, George ACKERSON, last week. I show George's wife as Nettie SNOOK (possibly Harriet) b bet Oct 1867 - 1871. I do not have parents for her. Can anyone identify her? In my notes I show that she is buried near Howard SNOOK so she must be related to him somehow - perhaps a niece? Also, where is Centerville? Nancy Pascal

Newton, N.J., Jan. 13 -- Garret S. Van Blarcom, a prominent citizen of Sussex County, was killed by the paymaster's train of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad this afternoon. He was crossing the track at Sparta Station, three miles from here, when the train struck his wagon, throwing him several feet in the air and killing the horse. The train men were from the main line and did not give any signal. Deceased was a wealth farmer. (New York Times, Jan. 14, 1885, page 2) Hope this helps someone. Carol Ann

All, Received the attached from Marietta. Unfortunately, BellSouth Personal Web Page accounts only allow for 33MHz of bandwidth access a day. I was somewhat appalled but can't do much about at this time. My apologies to all who run into this problem. HOWEVER, I am working a fix which I hope to have completed by not later then next week. I will be hosting my web site at a commercial web hosting firm and that should resolve any similar problems. It will also allow me to expand my web pages without issue of size. Will keep the page running on BellSouth until I get the other site up and tested. Sorry.
