    1. Re: [NJUNION] cord(s)wainer
    2. My Concise Genealogical Dictionary by Harris says cordwainer is a shoemaker who worked in cordovan leathers. Webster's New World says cordwain is archaic for cordovan leather. Cordovan is usually split horsehide, but originally made of goatskin at Cordoba, Spain. No definition with S. ---Robin, listowner www.rootsweb.com/~njunion
