An electronic search for Garretta discovered a Garretta Brown, the 58 year old wife of 62 year old Matthew Brown, born around 1812 listed in the 1870 Federal Census living in Trenton, New Jersey. The 1860 Federal Census has Garretta (age 48) and Matthew (age 52) with a child, Ellen Q. (Quick) Brown, age 24. The 1850 Federal Census has Garretta (age 57) and Matthew (age 42) living in North Brunswick, New Jersey with two children, Ellen age 14 and Anna age 1.

A Garretta Quick married a Matthew Brown on May 15, 1835 in Somerset, New Jersey. This writer suspects that this person was Garretta Quick and the maiden name in this memorial has been so stated accordingly. Source Information: Dodd, Jordan, Liahona Research, comp. New Jersey Marriages, 1684-1895 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2001.

A family tree on Ancestry.com lists Garretta as having been born in 1812 in New Jersey and died February 10, 1879 (location not specified but probably Trenton, Mercer, New Jersey). That date of birth is confirmed by New Jersey, Births and Christenings Index, 1660-1931 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2011. That date of death is confirmed by New Jersey, Deaths and Burials Index, 1798-1971 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2011. This .memorial reflects that information

That family tree lists Matthew Brown, her husband and son of Andrew Brown and Ann Suydam, as having been born in New Jersey in 1808 and died in Trenton, Mercer, New Jersey on February 13, 1879. They are shown as having had two children, Ellen Quick Brown (born in 1836) and Anna Brown (born in 1849).

Garretta's and Matthew's apparent son Andrew Brown is also interred in this cemetery but was born in 1808 (inferred from his age at the time of his death in 1810) according to the grave stone transcription records of The First Reformed Church.

Those dates clearly do not work. This writer suspects that Andrew likely is her son and the family link has been created in that belief. It appears that the church records for the date of Andrew's death (from which his date of death has been inferred) must be wrong. An on-line search for Andrew has not found any information about him.
