What is transcribed: Typed pages 1-2 (births A-C, transcribed below) and 26-27 (the marriage-section header and the C-D marriages). A text-layer search of all 36 pages for Coop / Cuyp / Kuyp / Coriel / Coryel / Court.

What this document records

Nulls

The text-layer search found no Cooper, Cuyper, Kuyper, Coriell or Coryell, and "Court" only in "courtesy" (page 26). On the pages read on the image, the C births (page 2) and the C marriages (page 27) have no Cooper. The births register is not in strict alphabetical order (Burges, Brock, Broderwick, Blackford, Balls, Balding, Chandler ... on page 2), so a Cooper entry could sit outside the C run; that part of the null rests on the text layer only.

PISCATAWAY REGISTER OF BIRTHS.

Note.- The following transcript was made probably more than fifty years ago by the late William A. Whitehead, from the Piscataway town book, which has since disappeared. In a note he says: "Every entry in the original book is in substance contained in this abstract." Some of the dates in this abstract have been corrected in pencil by later hands. The figures given here are as Mr. Whitehead wrote them. He also copied the records of marriages and deaths, which it is expected will be published in these Proceedings hereafter.
