Have parts of family type bible with name of Rem Gerretsen
believe to be related to my Great Grandmonther.I believe they lived in the Harlingen area. I would also like to know information you have because I can't quite piece all the names I have together

SOMERSET COUNTY, NJ

family Bible lists all the above surnames. Anna Garretson married to John Voorhees before 1754, the birthdate of Ann Voorhees who married John Powelson in 1786. Daughter Leah Powelson married Peter Vroom (date unknown) then in 1816 married William Sunderland. I am at a dead end and solicit any help I can get.

I am a Garretson My grandfather was Geoge wycoff Garretson from Somerset NJ. I do have some info on the family and some of the names you have mentioned sound familiar.

My grandfather Alford Powelson b.1892 in White Lake, Oakland Co. Michigan d. 1996 in Mason, Michigan.
My greatgrandfather, Charles Powelson b. 1865 in Richfield Twp, Genesse Co. Michigan d. 1898 in White Lake, Michigan

This is a partial tree that my family has traced and we believe to be accurate. There is a Rem Garretson about the time you are looking in the right area of NJ. It is believed that most of my family was in the Somerset area, including Millstone.

My great-great grandfather Henry V Garretson, had among other sons - Remsen born about 1820 and died in 1843. I wonder if the date matches.

Thank you Catherine O'Neill
