The closest cemetery is Andover Presbyterian Church Cem. I would try writing to them first. - Lake Lenape Road, Andover, NJ 07821 (I have phone # also, if needed) This is one of the few Sussex Cty Cem. that does not have a inscription list on file anywhere in Sussex Cty and few names are listed on findagrave.com The Historical Society of Andover Borough may be of help - PO Box 325, Andover, NJ 07821 Stanhope Union Cemetery at the end of Sussex Cty. - 67 New Jersey Avenue, Lake Hopatcong, NJ 07849 . This Cem has a large inscription list up to 1974 and is on findagrave. However, the stone can be missed, or there was no stone when the list was made. Also ask any cem. for names of everyone in that plot; and plot and section number. (help person taking photos) Not everyone is listed on the gravestone, I found. I also found that there are names on gravestones that are not listed in the cem. records. You can request a photo of gravestone thru findagrave, when you find the location/cem. If you do find any name on findagrave, posted by someone else - they will usually correct info and add maiden names. You can post additional info in the "flower and note" section. Parents, spouse, etc. I don't think many people know this feature. The King family has more than a page in the burial records of First Pres. Church Cem. of Succasunna (Roxbury Twp), yours are not listed. I have more than 12 death certs of people supposed to be buried here. They are not on the burial record list nor listed on the burial card that I have a copy for each family plot. So the records have gaps in the information, I have found.

I am in Florida and trying to find a family member, son of my 3rd Great Grandfather named *Green C. COOK.* He was the Town Assessor in 1880 in Andover. Brought up his family there and *died* there in *1898*. His wife was *Loretta C KING* and her family is buried over that way I understand. Her mother and father were *Francis and Plemella* *Antoinette (RIDGEWAY ) KING * from Roxbury area. Would love to go trapsing over the frozen medows and crawling under the fences with you all but I can only do it down here. If someone is going that way or lives in that area, I sure would appriciate a look see and if found a snapshot email. Hope someone can do that. I know about RAOGK and will ask there next but couldn't resist the request with so many of us talking about it in the past few days.

Karen, I spoke to the woman at the Andover Presby Church Cem and she looked up my man but no luck; she did however, say that there was someone coming and is in the process of entering all her cards into a computer program and then they would be available to be posted. I do not live up there, as I am in Fl. Perhaps someone from the Hist. Soc might check with them if it isn't the HS doing the project.(that was in Oct 06.) Someone found my Green Coursen Cook's mother in law at Stanhope but not the daughter. I have an Idea that that's where I will find him although she died in 1892 and he died in 1898. I did talk to the secretary at the Presby church in Stanhope and the caretaker at the cemetery next door to the church with no luck. Thanks for the tip about getting all the names of thoes in the plot. Never thought of that. I will try to contact that Succasunna Presby church and see if I can speek to someone who has that info. Thanks. Karen for your time. Ann On 2/26/07, karen wreden <kmwgen@earthlink.net> wrote: > > The closest cemetery is Andover Presbyterian Church Cem.
