List: Does anyone have information about a MARY MCMURTRY who married ALEXANDER WHITE, born ca 1709, and lived in Greenwich, Sussex Co., NJ? I have found MCMURTRY's there, and some were very active in government and Revolutionary War service, but I have been unable to find MARY. Any info on her, or ALEXANDER WHITE would be greatly appreciated. - Marna - ----- Original Message ----- From: <NJSUSSEX-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: <NJSUSSEX-D@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 26, 2001 9:01 AM Subject: NJSUSSEX-D Digest V01 #47

Died Ca. >From Ohio: Ancestry.com shows the Ohiop 1910 Census for Laurence Lance, age 26 Montgomery, Dayton Enum. 0062 Wife Matilda 34 Ohio - Ok, he likes older women Son Mathias 12 ( which makes his dad 14 at the age of the son's birth ???  BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE ...

Son Clarence, 11, Hmmmmm Daughter, 9 Son Clements, 6 Daughter Gertrude, 4, my my, our boy has been busy. and one non relative. But wait, there's more Leo E.

My ancestor, Jacob Cole, was born in Oxford, now Warren County, but then (1820/21) it was still Sussex County, NJ. I am trying to figure out what township it was in when it was still a part of Sussex County. Would anyone have any ideas for me on how to find that out? Thanks!
