     I am looking for a book/document that was used as a source for an IGI entry. It is called Churches in American Archives - Commission on History, New Brunswick NJ. Salt Lake doesn't have it, and Library of Congress doesn't seem to have it either. Can you give me a lead on where I might find it?
     He responded: I haven't heard of it either. You could try Rutgers, NJ Historical Society, or the Reformed Church Archives in NB. The addresses are on the Middlesex Web Site. 
Marriage*25 August 1744 He married Sarah Ann Lake, daughter of John Lake (III) and Martinah (__________), on 25 August 1744 at Probably?, Middlesex Co., New Jersey, Howard Groendyke said "Recorded in records of church of 3 mile Run and 6 Mile Run as having lived in that vicinity during period 1720-1748. In Hunterdon & Somerset Co by James P Snell (1881) it is stated that he lived 6 Mile Run in 1753". Maybe the church records have the marriage? His father's will says he got £45 at the time of his marriage. 
Death*July 1785 or August 1785 Johannis "John" Groendyke died in July 1785 or August 1785 at South Brunswick, Middlesex Co., New Jersey. 
Will*20 July 1785 He left a will on 20 July 1785 at Middlesex Co., New Jersey; SLC 545477 Middlesex NJ 20 Jul 1785 - 4 sons, 2 daughters - Samuel, John, Moica, Elenor, Nicholas, Abraham. Inventory made 9 Aug 1785 so he died right away. Will copy shows an actual signature. I've scanned the will and inventory. To eliminate loss of readability, the pages are PNG files, hence large (ranging from about 1/3 megabyte to almost a full megabyte). You need to have a current enough browser to open PNG files).
