Notes: The user-submitted record, which gives no sources, states Thomas Edgerton and Elizabeth Saint were married in Haddonfield, Gloucester, New Jersey. From Quaker records, Binns has them petitioning the Haddonfield Quaker Meeting for re-admission into the church after marrying outside of it (pp. 1-2). Exactly where they were married remains unknown, but Binns also has them marrying in Haddonfield. Both sources agree on the date. Haddonfield, New Jersey is now in Camden County. Camden County was created from a portion of Gloucester County on March 13, 1844.

Notes on two marriages from Binns (p. 4):

"Thomas Edgerton, Jr., son of Thomas Edgerton and Sarah Stephens born about 1735; d 4-24-1794. Married 4-27-1759 Elizabeth Saint, at Haddonfield, NJ. She died about 1776. Thomas remarried 5-21-1778, Sarah Cox, b 8-21-1751, Dobbs County, North Carolina. Married at the house of Richard Cox on Neuse River, North Carolina."

I don't know at this time what relationship Richard Cox had to Sarah. Her father was Thomas Cox.
