Those scraps of paper have been trascribed into the printed sources you find today. It is also possible for the year you are interested in that the marriage entry was never recorded at the county level. You might have to locate a church record or some other source to locate the actual marriage record. You may also have to see if they might have gotten married in Morris County or some other county. I reviewed the following resource: Howard E. Case, SUSSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, MARRIAGES. This book starts with marriages beginning 1795 through 1853 for Book A. I found no Cortwright-Clark marriage entries. There are several Cortwright and Clark marriages, but not one for the individuals you are hoping to find. Christie Trapp

Hello everyone, I know this is a bit off topic but thought it was interesting enough to share. I would imagine as time goes by this page will have more and more added to it which who knows may be related to the topic someday. http://americaslibrary.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi Hope you enjoy it, ---Mark http://home.att.net/~mforder" ...."The Box"

Is it possible to get a copy of a marriage record that old? I've been told that the marriage record of John Courtright & Mary Clark indicates they were living in Hardwick Twp. now in present day Warren Co., NJ. thank you, Cindy Cindy Torres Owens cindyo@va.prestige.net http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/o/w/e/Cindy-L-Owens/index.html

Jacobus Courtright bap. in Orange Co., NY in 1747, married Ann Quick & had 2 children bap. at Wallpack Sussex Co., NJ: Thomas in 1774 & Annie in 1775. In 1782 a Jacobus(sometimes James in the records) is married to Jannetje Van Auken & having children bap. at Smithfield, Monroe Co.,PA. Not 100% sure this is the same man. Thomas bap. 1774 moved to Greene Co.,PA by 1810 married Mary Scott & had 8 children w/ descendants still present there. Looking for any connection to my John Courtright b. 1776 NJ , m. 1797 Sussex Co., NJ to Mary Clark, to Beaver Co.,PA by 1800. Beaver & Green were both formed from Washington Co., PA in 1800.

I have found no record to indicate that Levi Ayers was born in 1762. He was perhaps born about that time period, but there is no proof that I have found to date. Earlier researchers have attached four male children: Levi, Edward, Israel, and Enoch as sons of Levi Ayers and wife Temperance Wicks or Weeks. It is interesting to note that not one of these attributable four sons named a daughter Temperance and at least three of them had several daughters. This is a family that certainly needs further research. J. Kelsey Jones ----- Original Message ----- From: "David A.

I've just come across two previously unknown LANCE men. 1. John LANCE, b 1784 married to what looks like NANCY (?) b 1793 recorded in the 1850 Blairstown census. This may be the man who is recorded as starting a wheelwright business in 1832 in Blairstown. 2. John LANCE, b 1795 married to Eliazbeth b 1794, with children Jesse, male, William, Peter, and John. All recorded in the 1850 Harmony NJ census.

Is there some kind soul that might have access to the 1870 census for Passaic Co., W. Milford Twp. that could look up two families for me? And send me all the info contained? One is Harriet GARDNER, 45 years, p. 752. The other is Silas B. DAY, 46, P. 747. Both Roll 886 I rather question the page #s, but that is what I got from the printed bound index for NJ Census, 1870. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks. Mona Richmond, IN ----------------------
