    1. [NJSUSSEX] List of all Sussex (and Warren) Co. Cemeteries
    2. By the way, none of the current lists I've seen mention the Wiggins cemetery in Independence Twp., Warren Co., somewhere around the Pequest. Years ago I found a reference to the DAR's having made a transcript of the markers from it, and that it was in the DAR Library in Washington, DC. That may have been compiled in the DAR's Genealogical Records Committee's series on 'Genealogical records'. I wrote them many years ago for a copy of this but never got a response and have not followed up on it. But those compiling such lists might want to check out this resource. Many small family cemeteries no longer visibly exist: some have doubtless been plowed over, the markers removed, so more recent investigators may not even find a trace. The reason for my interest in that cemetery was a vague association between the Wiggins famiy there (of whom one Samuel was a Loyalist whose properties were confiscated and who went to Canada) (his brother William moved to Hector Town, then Tompkins Co. and now Schuyler Co., NY ca. 1814) (they had a sister who married a Van Buskirk) -- and my possible ancestor Joshua Smith (his wife Keziah nee Pelton), who had moved to present Independence Twp. when it (or part of it) was still part of Oxford, from just north of Trenton around 1774-5. Good hunting, Judy
