Hi Listers:
I was wondering how one would go about finding information on the death and interrment of Charles Farmer. He was born (according to the Latter Day Saints) in Raritan Twp., Hunterdon County on May 12, 1862. Father: Edward, mother: Ann.

Since they were Catholic, I know they would not have buried him in the other two cemeter
Hello fellow researchers,
I seem to be at a loss to find on any site or map the names listed as an
address from a 1794 letter. The two locations mentioned on the address are

Jersey State. Perhaps someone out there has stumbled across these particular
locations in their research and are able to help.
Thank You in Advance,

emigrated from Holland. Joshua purchased several hundred acres of land of the heirs of William Biles,
situated northeast of Barberstown. He had two sons, Luther and Richard; a daught
