                       NOTES:
    1. Azariah was a tanner by trade, but later on became Deacon of the First Presbyterian Church of Newark, New Jersey.
    2. He was a founder of Cranetown (later known as Montclair), New Jersey.
    3. Parhaps he is best remembered for bequeathing a silver bowl "to be used forever" to the church, where he served as Deacon from 1690 to 1730. The bowl is still available for viewing today.

    1. The FindAGrave entry indicates that the Inventor, Thomas Edison is a descendant of this couple.
BURIAL:
    Mary is not listed in the Church's list of burials. The early cemetery records were destroyed in a fire and the current records reflect a survey done much later when Mary's marker was probably no longer legible or was missing.
