Hi Peter: I would be very interested if a better and more readable copy were made of the History of the Borton and Mason families book. I have tried previously to get hold of a copy of a couple of Borton histories but they are in the reference sections of libraries in the States and to date have not been able to get to any. My Great Grandmother was Julia Borton who married Henry Wrighton and had 15 children, one of them my Grandfather Charles. Barbara Adair, Ottawa, Canada.
