Searched for: Marcus Ganson b. 1856-1862 (any place); Mark Ganson b. 1855-1863; Marcus Cooper b. 1856-1862, New Jersey; all Ganson records with a Warren Co., NJ residence; Robert Ganson b. 1819-1827.
Result: Marcus Ganson appears ONLY in the 1860 Robert Cooper household [D.469]; no later record under Ganson or Cooper (the Marcus Coopers indexed are Camden Co. men). Index-only lead, not opened: a separate 1860 Independence household of 'Robt L Ganson', b. ~1823, with Hester Ganson, b. ~1800, and N. R., Sarah and Julia Shotwell. Nothing states whose child Marcus was. Hackettstown 1860 also has Ganson households (Menzis and Phoebe A.; Frank, Otto E., Theodore E.).
