Biography

Notes

I had Haddonfield as located in Camden County. That is correct at the present time, but not at the time of his birth. Haddonfield was then in Gloucester County. Camden County was formed on March 13, 1844, from portions of Gloucester County - Wikipedia Wikipedia article, Camden County, New Jersey. - FR

In the marriage place "Contentnea MM," MM is "monthly meeting." That is a Quaker designation for their churches/church communities.

• Source: S28 Title: Meet the Edgertons. Author: J. Howard Binns. Publication: Richmond, Indiana : J. Howard Binns, ©1970, pp. 4,11. Source for dates/places for birth, death, marriage, burial, some confirmed by other sources, some unique to this source. Only says Wayne Co., NC for marriage, does not specify Contentnea MM.

• Source: S21 Title: Ancestral File on FamilySearch.org User submitted, provides no sources for data. Gives 2 Jan, rather than 22 as birth date. Second record, same source, has 22, as does #S28. Using 22 Jan 1762 from Binns as birth date. Binns' data is from Quaker records. Other conflicts between these two records.
