I'm at work so I do not have any info with me, but I'm afraid that the Henry you speak of is not the same. My grandfather Henry (Harry) died in 1953 , he was born to Michael (1851) sometime in the 1880's, my father John (Jack 1910) was one of 13 original and 5 half Durkins of Henry ( Paterson NJ area wow!). I'm kind of stuck in the 1825 to 1850 area. My great-grandfather Michael had brothers and a sister all born in that 1848-1855 time, of which I have no information. I do have traces to Scranton Pa., but I'm not sure about bordentown. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
