Why the search that worked left the first name blank
Three earlier hunts for Roderick's death return - two on FamilySearch, one on Ancestry - were run on Roderick, and came back with nothing. His name is never spelled that way by a clerk: [D.4] writes "R. Byngton", [D.392] and [E.35] write "Robert B.", and this index writes "Biamgton".
A surname-only search against one county and a year span returns a list short enough to read in full - 20 rows for 22 years of a county - and a garbled given name cannot hide in 20 rows. Against the same two-year window the Warren list is five rows.
The Allamuchy cluster
Of the twenty Warren rows, six are Allamuchy, and four of those fall in eight years: Addie (Dec 1887), Samuel (Dec 1888), Biamgton (Mar 1889), James W. (Aug 1889), then Agatha (Mar 1895). Samuel, Roderick and Roderick's son James W. died within nine months of each other, all registered in the same township. Nothing in this index says why, and this entry does not speculate; the three returns would each give a cause.
