Very helpful web site. Lots of BORTON hits in search index. http://index.burlco.lib.nj.us/Mirror/ Nathan Palmer began publishing the "Burlington Mirror" in 1818 in Mount Holly, the county seat for Burlington County, New Jersey, as a weekly newspaper focusing on business and real estate concerns of the county. The newspaper quickly expanded coverage to include news, commentary and social events. Over its 130 years of publication, "Burlington Mirror", later known as "New Jersey Mirror", recorded the history of Burlington County in detail. Of note are the marriage and death notices from 1818-1848 (before NJ began recording vital statistics), excellent coverage of the Civil War (especially the Burlington County Regiment), detailed legislative and agricultural news, and local news from individual townships. The "New Jersey Mirror" is available on microfilm from October 14, 1818 (vol. 1, no. 5) to March 5, 1947. Both the Burlington County College Library in Pemberton, NJ and the Burlington County Library Headquarters in Westampton, NJ own the microfilm and will do research upon request for a fee. Please contact library@bcc.edu or reference@bcls.lib.nj.us for further information. The indexing of "The New Jersey Mirror" is a cooperative project. The Burlington County College Library staff and volunteers are indexing the newspaper. To date, 60,611 records have been processed.
