Thank you so much, Kirsten. Whatever record searches you think would be most productive. For time frames & places: William Current was b. abt. 1740 in Northern Ireland. Came to America 1745-47, just a boy- probably 5-12 years old, orphaned enroute. What port might that have been in? Tradition says he came directly to NJ. But, might that have been a NY port? Taken in by Elisha Barton and wife as indentured servant immediately. Which Elisha Barton? (Must be one b. at least by 1720 to qualify as indenture-holder.) Where did this Barton family live? NY or NJ? What type of trade were they in? - linen mill industry? William willed an entire weaving/loom house,with tackling, to his children. Where did he learn this trade, if not during his indenture? Would there be a record of such an early indenture somewhere? Joseph Lemon buys land in Beaver Brook, Oxford Twp., Sussex Co. in 1772 - first record I have of him. Joseph Lemon's daughter Esther and William Current were already married prior to this date. (Guessing abt. 1765, based on their age and birth of their first child.) Where did they meet and marry? (A marriage record would be awesome!) Were Wm. & Esther with Joseph when he bought land in Sussex Co? First record of William Current is 1773 tax rolls, Oxford, Sussex co. Where-ever Joseph Lemon was prior to buying land in Oxford, William was certainly in the same place. Found Lemons by various spellings in Orange Co., NY, as well as most areas covered by early Burlington Co., NJ. Any type of earlier records would be awesome!
