  • Notes 
    • . James Lawrence Blauvelt, born Feb. 1, 1834, died June 20, 1907. He was a man of warm & tender heart & much given to philanthropic effort. A true friend to those in need. Like his brother he served in the Civil War, but in the Navy. He was with his uncle, the Capt. Chas. S. Boggs, on the "Vernuna" in the naval engagement at the forts below New Orleans, La.
      Ref: The history of St. Peter's Church in Perth Amboy, New Jersey: the oldest congregation of the church in the state of NJ.

      . He had been a sailor in the U.S. Navy & had traveled all over the world. He was a member of the G.A.R. men (Grand Army of the Republic) of this city." (New Brunswick)

      He had worked to brighten the dark lives of the inmates of the Poor Farm. "Every Sunday, as long as he was able, … he provided a minister for a Sunday service or conducted it himself."
      He lived at 216 Seaman Street, New Brunswick with his 2 sisters, Frances & Jane.
