You name Garrett Odell Vanderbeck as Father to James William, but that may be in error.The 1870 Census shows that Garret was 26 y.o. living in Brooklyn with Sarah and the Dixon family.His birth date should therefore fall in the year 1844.The only Garret Vanderbeck I can find born in 1844 in NJ is from Hackensack.The Garret Odell, also from Bergen County, NJ was from Saddle River, however his birth date falls under the year 1842. That said, under his name I find no children thusfar named James William.I'll continue searching the census tonight.I believe there's another Garret in NJ, from essex county as well.His birth year was 1843 or 45 I forget which.He has some potential for being the right one, but I need to do some follow up on that.The one I found appears to have moved to NY which would seem to coincide with the facts.I'll message again when I know more.
