Dear Judy, I have a book that is called "The Burlington Court Book of West N. J. 1680-1709. I found your George Elkington. In the book it doesn't have the g. The book was printed from the orginal one. If you are going out to Crosswicks, their Library may have the book if not let me know and I will copy the pages of Geroge for you. I didn't see his wife's name Parnell but she may be mentioned with him. It does state that he was a Quaker. My ancestor (sp) was also a Quaker, he was Wm. Frampton and his wife Elizabeth. My Wm. maybe buried there but don't know for sure. Let me know.
