However, I am currently working on the Durkin family trying to make a connection to the parents of Mary Durkin Hayes who was born in Ireland around 1836. Mary lived in Florence NJ but had connections to Philadelphia , Bordentown and Ashland Pa. Your Henry Durkin is found in the Fed Census in Bordentown in 1860 sic: Henry Durkin 37 Daylaborer born Ireland Sarah 37 born Ireland Micahel 10 NJ Henry 8 NJ James 7 NJ William 5 NJ Bridget Van Kale(?)25 (15?) Ireland. There is also a Van Kale(?) family from Ireland listed on the same page. At the time there were also other Durkins listed in Bordentown. There are also some buried in the local Catholic Cemetery. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
