Hello to you all To Ray I have checked the dates and they are all as I was given, except for the Thomas BORDEN b Oct 1627. I think it is meant to be 2/3 and not 23, so your 3 could be correct. I should explain the I do not have easy access to the original research. I just had to put it into chart form so that the family could understand it, and give it it all back again. Most of it was Photocopies of wills,letters, family notes etc quite a job.
