    3. Hi Karin, All the details I have are -"Robergia, a Story of Old England, by Richard Y.Cook. Printed for private distribution, Philadelphia 1905. Copyright 1905 Richard Y.COOK. Press of Edward Stern &Co Philadephia. In Hand writing on the first page is "50 copies only printed" "to T.L.BURDEN from his fatherT.Witherden BURDEN, Xmas 1906." and "To T.R.BURDEN from his mother Julia BURDEN Oct 28 1941" These BURDENS are descended from William BORDEN b 1600,younger brother of the Richard who emigrated. Thomas Laurence Burden, William's 7gt-grandson, came to New Zealand from Headcorn in 1897,and he was my daughter -in-law's gt-grandfather. Her copy of the book is a rather faint photocopy 121 pages long. I am happy to share any other information that might be of help. best wishes, May Karin Goudy wrote: > > Hi - since I am a descendant of Richard Borden who immigrated to the US > from England I am very interested in your ghost story.
