Facts and Events
Noted below provided by Dr. Anthony Troha: Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamaliel_Bartlett: "The first of their two children who lived to maturity was Jane Mariah who was born at Monroe, New York (formerly known as Monroe Works) in the county of Orange, on December 4, 1819. She married (October 20, 1840 at Succasunna, Morris, New Jersey) William A. Jackson (1817-1895) and she died on February 15, 1865 at the Centerville Section of Livingston Township, Essex, New Jersey. This couple had one child, Laura Maria (1843-1916) who married (April 30, 1862 at Centerville (now Roseland), Livingston, Essex, New Jersey) William H. Griffith (1839-1901). There were no offspring." So according to this, Laura Maria Jackson and her husband, William Griffith, lived in what is now the town of Roseland, N.J. Using that detail led to a page on the Roseland Landmarks and Historic District Commission website: http://www.roselandhistsocnj.org/histhome/grifith.htm "The Griffith House 22 Harrison Avenue This austere house was probably built by the Jackson family in about 1830. It is a plain frame house with gabled roof and porch facing the street, but it conveys both dignity and elegance. The ceilings are high, unlike those of earlier houses in the area. William Griffith lived across the street and married Laura Jackson. After Laura's parents died, the house became known as the Griffith House. William died in 1901 and Laura in 1916. They had no children. In the 20th century the house changed hands several times. It was the home of Virginia Cannon, the antiques dealer, until 1993, when it was purchased by the Borg family."
