Barb, I think you are right;
I'm afraid my recording at Gamochaeta americana (American Everlasting)
isn't a Jersey Cudweed either; the Jersey cudweed page shows the terminal clusters of flowers that you mentioned in your comment. I think it is one of the introduced Gamochaeta sp. (which I proposed as well). Perhaps best to collect a sample for id?

looks like it probably is G. americana - I'll collect a sample as Waltraud suggests, so someone can look at how hairy the leaves are etc
