I got to the library today and found a little more information about
the early history of Harrington Park in Frances Westtervelt's
History of Bergen County.
The borough was initially laid out in lots for residential purposes
- Industry was discouraged. The only industry around 1920 was a
flour and feed (grist) mill owned by John J. Bogert & Son. (Today,
the town is still residential - there is still no industry that I
know of; however there are a few businesses around the train
station)
It had a railroa

know those two were twins!

I recently received an e-mail from someone who had visited the Moffat
Rd. Cemetery - Old German Burying Ground. She mentioned that it did
not appear in good shape. For an example, a tree had fallen and broken
the tombstone of Anna King Wanamaker. - with the storms we have had
the past year, am not surprised.
However, it helped me to recall that back in 1992, when I visited there, I
had tried to send a donation to the Mahwah Historic Preservation
Society and they could never cash my checks - I can't s
Does anyone know the name of the father of this Albert VanBlarcom?
William Folly in his will left $10 to his grandson, Albert VanBlarcom.
This Albert VanBlarcom d before a codicil was made on the 10 Dec 1831.
His Mother was Elizabeth Folly b 16 Sep 1779.
Since 3 of William Folly's daughters married Smiths I am assuming we are in
the same families which were discussed in earlier VanBlarcom queries.

I looked at census records for Folly family 1830 and 1840. There are no
