Can anyone identify the parents or children of Mary BARBAR/BARBER who
probably married John GARRISON Jr. of Bethlehem Township, Hunterdon Co., NJ
shortly after 29 March 1780.

John Jr. & Mary (BARBAR) GARRISON, m. in 1780, *may* have been the parents
of Jane (GARRISON) KRUSEN, who was b. in 1781 and was closely associated
with a John Jr. & Sr. GARRISON:

6. Derrick/Richard-6 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.
Derrick/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.
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 Derrick/Richard's father,
Francis-5 Krusen in 1819.
Recall that Derrick/Richard's father, Francis resided in
Bethlehem Township, Hunterdon County from the time of the
Revolutionary War until 1790. No doubt, Derrick/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.
Perhaps the "Jeams Garreson" who resided in Bethlehem in 1789
was identical with the James Garrison who is buried in the remote
and rural Garrison-Tharp Cemetery there. James was born in
February 1768 and died in December 1825. Martha, widow of John
Garrison, died 2 July 1866, aged 76 years (Jackie Lubinski, email
correspondence [26 October 1999]).

On 13 January 1816, Benejah Justin and Sarah of Independence
Township sold 20 acres in Independence Township to Derrick Krusen
of Mansfield Township for $560. This transaction was witnessed by
George Thompson and John Garrison (Sussex County Deeds, G2:176).

Around 1817, they moved to New York State along with other
families from northwestern New Jersey. On 2 November 1818, Derrick
Krusen of New York State, late of Independence Township, Benejah
Justin and Sarah of Independence Township and John Justin of
Franklin Township, sold 45 acres in Independence Township to Andrus
Rose of Newton for $120. John Garrison Jr. and William Little Jr.
witnessed this transaction. This property bordered that of Thomas
Fleming and Aaron Buskirk; it was the "same lot conveyed to John
Linn Esq./Sheriff to Rose, executor of property of Benejah
[Prinston] at the suit of Matthias Williamson." (Sussex County
Deeds, K4)
