Original message: Am seeking information on their children, especially daughter Susanna b. abt 1832 and a possible marriage connection to Abraham (also in records as Abr'm and Abram) Wanamaker (Wanmaker). Susanna was possibly baptized at Airmont Lutheran Church in Ramapo, NY or Zion Lutheran Church in Saddle River, NJ and most likely married at one of these churches before or about 1850.
