  General Notes:

JACOB RUSLING, the eighth son of James Rusling (his third by Hannah Rose), was born November 17, 1815, and died August -, 1826. He was buried at Washington, New Jersey, in the Methodist Episcopal graveyard there, near the old Methodist church, by the side of his father. But in 1892 the ground there was needed for a new parsonage, and brother Henry and I removed his remains and gravestone, with grandfather's and grandmother's (Hannah Rose), to Asbury, New Jersey, and they are all buried there now in the old Methodist Episcopal graveyard, in the "Rusling Plot." The trustees of the Asbury church authorized father to enclose this in his lifetime, and since his decease they have given Henry and me permission to enclose more ground, and now we have a large Family Plot there. However, since then, I have bought a plot in Riverview Cemetery, Trenton, New Jersey,1 and erected a Family Tomb there, and expect to rest there when "life's fitful fever is over." My family prefer this, as they are likely to continue here.

You will see that the above mostly died at other places than Asbury. They must have had a family plot at the church yard at Asbury. Maybe because of James Fowler's job

Notice Mary Fowler Rusling above. James F. Rusling and his brother, Henry Rusling, had Mary's name carved on the gravestone of her husband, James, at Ashbury, New Jersey, in 1896. She was originally buried in the graveyard of the old Presbyterian church at Hackettstown, New Jersey, but her grave could not be found by her son Gershom. After she was buried, the next Presbyterian church was built. Mary's grave seems to be covered by that church. ²
