Can a location in the county be determined by having the name of the Justice of the Peace? I received a copy of the marriage of Henry Putman and Sarah Dunn in Sussex Co. in 1802. They were married by William Bearoslee. If this can't be accomplished, then is there anyone who will look for the record of land sale by Henry Putman in Sussex Co between 1807 and 1810? Any reply would be most appreciated. Janet >> Janet: Just a minor correction to the Justice of the Peace. I believe the surname should be spelled Beardslee not Bearoslee. I might be slightly off, but I believe he might have been in the area that is now the townships which are part of Warren County rather than in the current Sussex County part of the state.
