The New Jersey Abstract of Wills, Vol XXIII, p.46: "1727 Dec. 23. Borden, James of Freehold Township, Monmouth Co., yeoman; will of. Wife Mary; children-Richard, Innocent, Joseph, Phebe, Rebeckah, Abigail, Mary, Hellen and Ann. Real and personal estate...Proved February 22, 1730-1. " Inventory of estate on 16 November 1728. The date of death stated here could be in error if you think, as I do, that this is his will.
Borden-532 and Borden-84 are not ready to be merged because: These two profiles may well represent the same person, but other things need to be fixed. His wife Mary Ann (Lawton) Borden died in 1695, but had 3 or 4 children born a decade later. When this has been fixed I would be glad to agree to a merge. I have NO TIME to work on this now.
Borden-532 and Borden-84 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same person married to Mary Ann Lawton. They should be merged. Thank you. James
