    3. In reviewing notes from a cousin, I found information about correspondence between someone (it's not clear exactly who) in my branch of the Rorick family and Miss Margaret Cox. It includes her relationship to the family as follows: 1. Gasper Rorick, Jr., b. 1748; d. 1843, m. Betsey ________. 2. Betsey Rorick, dau. Gasper, Jr. and Betsey m. David Carr. 3. Mary Carr, dau. David and Betsey (Rorick) Carr m. James DeWitt. 4. Margaret DeWitt, dau. James and Mary (Carr) DeWitt m. Lewis J. Cox. 5. Martin J. Cox, son of Lewis and Margaret (DeWitt) Cox married Nellie Fotens. 6. Margaret Cox, b. July 28, 1905 Newton, Sussex Co., N.J. This cousin also quotes an unnamed Sussex County newspaper from May 14, 1936: The Chinkchewunska Chapter of D.A.R. will unveil three makers on Saturday, May 15, 1936 on graves of Revolutionary Soldiers in Papakating Cemetery on the Hamburg Road. Gosper Rorick Jr. of the N.J. Troops will be one of the soldiers so honored and at the Rorick grave Miss Margaret Cox of Newton, a descendant, will read the biography. Anson DeWitt of Sussex will unveil the marker. Does any of this genealogy fit into anyone else's family tree? I know that Gasper, Jr. had a daughter named Elizabeth, who married Martin Search. This seems to be a different daughter and her family. I'm a descendant of Gasper, Jr.'s brother, Michael Rorick. My branch of the family refers to him as Gasper Jr. as Gasper and Michael's father was also named Gasper. Carol Ann Hilton http://www.geocities.com/carolann_hilton/Rorick.html
