Happy National Family History Month!

In memory of-

Elizabeth Sutton
b. 10 October 1713
Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey
d. abt 1750
Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey

I also have that her parents are John and Elizabeth (Conger) Sutton. The above information is what I will start with in this five minute exercise. This was received many years ago from a distant relation who had documented very well the family information she researched and willingly shared. I am grateful for the hours and hours of work she did to locate the data we have. I will see if I can find anything new to add to this record. Here goes!

Findings:

Only undocumented information, but worth pursuing.

At FamilySearch, Elizabeth has a record showing her married to John Molleson, Jr. There are six children included in the record. At Ancestry.com, in the time allotted, I found only undocumented family trees, none of which included a marriage. If she did die before 1750, which seems plausible, I believe I will need to do a much more specific and time-consuming search of records local to where she lived, including church records. Also, searching out information about her husband may be beneficial, too. I am totally willing to do that, if I can locate them. So, signing out, for now.

You win some, you lose some; but, it is never wasted time!
