Deaths St. James Lutheran ("Straw") Church Greenwich, Warren County 1781 - 1792
I used two transcripts of this list of deaths. The first was
from the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. The second does not
give information about the transcriber. Italicized information in
brackets is from the second source where it differs from the first.
I have not seen the originals, nor can I make any judgment on which transcription
is correct.
Special thanks to Albert Hosbach for sending
me these transcripts for inclusion on my web site.
