in Scotch Plains
Baptist Churchyard, Scotch Plains, New Jersey (Union County).
Other records show both are buried in Tucker Burying Ground, Lines
Tucker Farm, Union Village, Warren Township, New Jersey (Somerset
County). The photo shown above was taken at Scotch Plains
Baptist Churchyard.
The inscription on the marble tombstone reads: "ERECTED / In the

New Providence, Scotch Plains, Stony Hill Valley, and Westfield are
adjacent to each other. Around the time of the Revolutionary War
these were in Essex County. They are now in Union County.
Union Village is immediately south of Stony Hill in Warren Township,
Somerset County.
The chronological order of births for John and Catherine's children is
taken
from John Littell's Family Records... . This birth order
conflicts with birth dates, which were all found elsewhere except
Henry's.
