• Notes

  Caroline's birth date is taken from the transcription of cemetery records of Rockaway, Morris County, New Jersey. A transcription of the Ogden Family Book, pg 360 has her birth date as 2 Nov 1838. Dr. Anthony L. Troha writes that he has "obtained a photograph of the Mooney Family plot marker. On the side of the monument facing the cameraman is the following inscription: (these lines are all centered on the monument but cannot be centered in these notes. Also on this monument is carved the info on Walworth and his second wife. That info is in their notes.) "Erected by Walworth M. Mooney in loving remembrance of his wife Caroline Amelia Jackson, who died at her home in Montreal, April 4, 1875. Born Rockaway, Nov. 2, 1838" Caroline was married in Rockaway, NJ, at the family home which is now the Rockaway Borough Public Library. The beautiful building has been designated a National Historic Site. She died soon after the birth of her fourth child in 1875. Her husband Walworth, then married Caoline's younger sister, Frances Elizabeth. Caroline having extracted the promise of the marriage from Walworth, thus insuring that her sister would care for her children. Received info below on 9 Sep 2009, from Anthony L. Troha, Ph.d. of the Canal Society of New Jersey: The original death notice can be found at http://rtlibrary.org/iron_era/1875/1875-04-10.pdf , but for convenience, I have transcribed it for you: "Death Notice for Caroline A. Mooney née Jackson from "The Iron Era" of Saturday, April 10, 1875 (Volume V, Number 17, Page 2, Column 1) published in Dover, Morris County, New Jersey "DIED: MOONEY - At Montreal, Canada, on Sunday 4th inst., Caroline A., wife of Walworth M. Mooney, and daughter of the late Stephen J. Jackson, dec'd." Thus, she died in Montréal, Canada, and not in Rockaway, New Jersey [however, she is probably buried in the latter location, as noted]. I see that her daughter, Caroline J. Mooney, was born in Montréal, so this would seem to be consistent. However, along that same vein, in the "Notes" for Caroline A. Mooney, it states that "She died soon after the birth of her fourth child in 1875." Therefore, there are apparently two children missing from her progeny list, which only contains Henry Seward Mooney and the aforementioned Caroline J. Mooney. [Additional information that I found in the privately published 1907 book "The Ogden Family in America, Elizabethtown Branch, and Their English Ancestry" also states that she had four children, but their names were not mentioned in that source.] 1850 U.S. Federal Census Rockaway, Morris Co., New Jersey Stephen J Jackson 44 M Manufacturer RE:3,500.
