I'm trying to find information on the Peter Busch Dougherty family in the northern part of Bergen County in the early 1800's, Peter having been born in 1823 in either Mahwah NJ or just across the border in Suffern NY. The Busch name could be a clue to ancestry or also the Christie surname. A diary has a phonetic spelling of the name as, "Dock-ar-ty" and may be a significant clue as to whether they were British Doughertys? There is no indication they were Catholic. There was a Presbyterian marriage of one daughter. Another clue to Busch name is "Van der Busch (Eleanor)" as it was entered in a small Forget-Me-Not remembrance booklet with no further explanation as to relevance..

Sorry; I can never get the hyperlink to work for me. The website I tried to link can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~njmorris/passaicvalley/index.htm

I am descended from the Cauldwell, Roll, and Titus families from Morris County on my mother's side. On my father's side, his German ancestor Frederick Sovereen (also spelled Sovereign, Saverin, Zofrein, and a lot of other ways) lived on Schooley's Mountain in the 1760's until about 1799; I also believe his granddaugher Elizabeth's husband Jonathan Wade to have been from this area (still trying to find evidence).

I have found a lot of info here:

Re: Ann Meeker. I remember reading this story in the Morristown Daily Record several years ago. If you don't have a copy of the newspaper article, you can get one from the Joint Free Public Library of Morristown/Morris Township. They have indexes to the Morristown papers.

I am looking for any info about the disappearance of Ann MEEKER, wife of Albert Ross Meeker from Sandy Pond, Vernon, NJ during the summer of 1951. She went berry picking and never came back. These are the grandparents of my daughter-in-law who is trying to solve the mystery and bring closure to her family.

Two sources for research in Hudson County that I have had luck with are the Hudson County message boards at Rootsweb.com, and the Hudson County Genealogical Society, www.hudsoncountynjgenealogy.org. Full disclosure- I am the secretary for the Hudson County Gen Society. I also ask a lot of questions of the New Jersey Room at the Jersey City Public Library,www.jclibrary.org.

I am searching for a marriage record for Vincent John Lisa and Elthea Marie Parry. I am almost sure that they were married in Hudson County New Jersey. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Pat

I have lots of family lines back to early Sussex County. My current problem is determining the parentage of Jacob Myers of Wallpack. He died in 1850 and the death record states he was born in Sandyston and his father was Abijah. Have been really unable to find any early records on the father, Abijah and wonder if it is a corrupted version of Sebastian aka "Bost Jon".
