Hello Listmembers, Does anyone know where I might find the Marriage and Birth records for the Burlington MM (possibly the Philadelphia MM), for the early 1700s (possibly late 1600s)? I have inquired of the NJ State Archives and I have looked at all listings and abstracts that I can find, and I am now convinced the only place left is in the actual Quaker meeting records. Henry Thompson/Thomson's arrival via Philadelphia, was recorded in the NJ Sec of State books on 1 December 1684. He was indentured on the accounts of Wm Dockwra for 7 years. He was given/obtained land in Mansfield Twp, Burlington Co., and there are indentures for additional, adjoining land in 1710 and 1724. He wrote his Will in 1732, and died in 1735. His Will mentions his wife "Elizabeth Thomson" and his four children - John, Thomas, Dinah Hobson, and Rebecca Quest. Earlier researchers say his wife was Elizabeth HAMMEL, but I have yet to find any "proof". And, I can find no birth records for any of the children, although I have found marriage records for 3 of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Carol Payne in Oklahoma [email protected]

There is nothing in Burlington County Marriages by H. Stanley Criag on this marriage.
