1851 October 18th Jacob T. Weed, of Horseneck: “Mrs. Elizabeth Bloomfield of No. 100 Norfolk St. New York, is dead; but her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Lyon who is a widow, and the daughter of Jabez Sherwood formerly of the Log Bridge at Byram river, and who is yet well preserved in all her faculties, although considerably above 80 years old, is yet living at No. 65 Stanton Street, New York. I advise you by all means to see and talk with her. She must recollect all the transactions about Sherwood’s Bridge, Byram and the Log Bridge and that vicinity.
