These are the addresses listed for my gggrandfather, Dr. Beriah Andre Watson, in Jersey City, Hudson County NJ. He was appointed attending surgeon to the Jersey City charity hospital at the time of its organization in 1869, and in 1873 became attending surgeon to St. Francis hospital, and Christ's hospital in 1885. I am not sure what these addresses are for (work or residence). I live in California so it is impossible for me to look. Is there anyone who lives in Jersey City and could help me out? I am wondering if these original building still stand. Also are they near Van Vorst park? Thank you.
An additional note,
Dr. Watson decended from these families:
Beriah A. Watson, M. D., married Phebe A. Traphagen.
Son of Henry M. Traphagen (1809-84) and Sarah Conselyea (1810-66), his wife, m. 1834.
Grandson of Henry Traphagen (1768-1857) and Neltji E. Vorst (1768-1824), his wife, m. 1803.
Gr-grandson of Cornelius Van Vorst and Annetji Van Horn (1729-1804), his wife, m. 1753.
Cornelius Van Vorst (1728-1818) was a member of the Committee of Safety of Bergen County and in 1776 was appointed lieutenant colonel of the foot militia, same county. He was born in Paulus Hook, N. J.
I am always interested in hearing from any relatives.
Thanks,
Linda
