Hello, Was at the Scotch Plain Baptist Church just last September, a few days following the hurricane that hit the shore and devastated some areas in NJ. In fact, the Baptist Church had been flooded and they were working to clean up after. The paster was very kind, but has been with the church only a year, so wasn't able to help us much. A longtime member happened to be there and pulled out an old ledger which really gave us no new information, than that already published. He tried, but looks like records are very limited, and what they had was already published. I know they have a little booklet of cemetery readings done by a school group. This was also available at the Scotch Plains library. I don't know if it is just a local item or not, but not all burials are recorded, only those which I guess appeared to have been readable gravestones. Some of the gravestones are very old and still mostly readable, but deteriorating with time. Others are gone. I had already read and looked at books relative to Scotch Plains, NJ at the Allen Co. Public Library in Ft. Wayne, which were very limited. I had seen what Gary suggested below at the Elizabeth Library years ago, and that is all that is basically available on Scotch Plains. The Genealogical Society of the West Fields Newsletters have had some pertinent information concerning Scotch Plains from time to time. Here is one book: RAWSON, Marion Nicholl, "Under the Blue Hills, Scotch Plains, New Jersey," The Historical Society of Scotch Plains and the Fanwood & Scotch Plains American Revolution Bicentennial Committee; Found at Allen Co. Public Library, Ft.
