Subject: [NJHUNTER] GARRISON/SUTPHIN; Bethlehem, Hunterdon Co., NJ; 1700s
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 07:59:58 -0400
Seeking details on the GARRISON family of Bethlehem, Hunterdon Co., NJ in
the 1700s and in particular proof that Jane (GARRISON) KRUSEN was the dau.
of John GARRISON. The GARRISON family of Bethlehem is probably connected to
the SUTPHIN family.
Richard-6 "Derrick" Krusen (Francis-5, Derrick-4, Francis-3,
Derrick-2, Garret-1) was born in Washington, (then Sussex, since
1825) Warren County, New Jersey on 17 May 1779; he died in the Town
of Greenwood, Steuben County, New York on 24 September 1846.
Richard was married in Washington, New Jersey on 8 January 1800 to
Jane Garrison: "Married Wenesday [sic], the 8th January 1800, Mr.
Derrick Cruzen to Miss Jane Garrison both of Mansfield, Montsy
Reading" (Marriage Book A, 26, Sussex County Court House, Newtown,
New Jersey); Montgomery Reading later served as the Sussex County
Judge in 1809 (Snell). Jane was born, perhaps in Bethlehem
Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, in 1781; she died in the
Town of Greenwood, New York on 10 June 1851. If Richard and Jane
followed Dutch traditions in naming their children, Jane may have
been the daughter of a couple named John and Sarah (_____)
Garrison. Both are buried in the Krusen Cemetery near Krusen's
Corners on West Greenwood Hill above the site of the Krusen Inn.
It is virtually certain that Jane was the daughter of a John
Garrison. On 13 August 1803, John Garrison "Senor" and John
Garrison "Junor" witnessed a deed in which "Derick Kruser of
Mansfield and Jane his wife" sold land to John Johnson of
Independence Township. On 13 January 1816, John Garrison witnessed
a land purchase by Derrick Krusen in Independence Township (Sussex
County Deeds, G2:176). On 2 November 1818, John Garrison Jr.
witnessed a land sale by Derrick Krusen (Sussex County Deeds, K4).
John Garrison witnessed the will of Richard's father, Francis-5
Krusen in 1819.
Recall that Richard's father, Francis resided in Bethlehem
Township, Hunterdon County from the time of the Revolutionary War
until 1790. No doubt, Richard spent his younger years in
Bethlehem; perhaps he became acquainted with his future wife there.
In Hunterdon County New Jersey Taxpayers 1778-1797, in Bethlehem
Township are listed "John Garison" in 1778; "John Garrison" in
1780; "John Garison Sr.," "John Garison Jr.," and "George Garison"
in 1785; "John Garreson," "John Garreson Jr.," "George Garreson,"
and "Jeams Garreson" in 1789; "John Garreson" and "George Garreson"
in 1790. A George Garrison died in Bethlehem Township on 22
February 1856 leaving eleven children including sons named John,
Sutphin, Samuel, and Joseph.
