Rita, It sounds as though you may be heading to the Bethlehem Baptist
cemetery. The exit is a little on the unusual side. If you're coming from the west on
I-78, take exit 11 ramp to the end, then go straight (east) across the
intersection at the light. Keep right at the fork (otherwise you're back on 78 :),
and you will see the cemetery walls, and the church on your left. If you're
coming from the east, take the exit, head to your left over the overpass, and
make a left at the light.

Do you have any contact with Vliets in the area? I know they intermarried
with my Creveling line, and lived on a nearby farm in West Portal. The Crevelings
had their own family cemetery, and used the Bloomsbury Presbyterian Church,
the Greenwich Presbyterian Church (west of Bloomsbury), the Asbury Churches,
and also Mansfield Woodhouse Presbyterian Church, in Washington. I would imagine
that it is quite possible that the Vliet family also had a family plot on
their farm, as they were in the area for quite some time.

Might be worth your time to post to the NJWarren List. Since the area in
question falls right on the border of Hunterdon. There are a lot of Vliets through
out Warren Co., and if they are anything like others in the area, they even
bounced back and forth across the Delaware.

Good Luck, Wendy (grew up 2 miles from Pattenburg)
