Paul Farber Ryerson was a farmer of Sussex County, although he was born in Passaic County. Three of his sons, Thomas, Seely, and Martin M. (my great-grandfather) removed to Des Moinses County, Iowa. Thomas died there. Martin married in Iows. Seely and Martin moved back to either Sussex or Passaic county, at which point I lose track of them. Martin's wife, Elizabeth Jane Peck, died in Warwick, Orange County, New York. I would welcome any information on any of these people. I would also be interested if anyone has knowledge of the history of Sussex County that might give a clue as to why there might have been a western exodus to Iowa around 1880. I have found other persons leaving Sussex County and ending up in Iowa at about the same time as the Ryerson brothers. Thanks for your consideration. Martin G. (Marty) Ryerson
