Note on the above: West Jersey was largely settled by Quakers, who were not popular among the rest of the population. The Quakers had appointed Andrew Hamilton as Governor of West Jersey. Some question arose as to his eligibility, he being a Scotsman. He was removed from office, and Jeremiah Basse, a strong anti-Quaker, was appointed. He loaded the courts with like-minded men, and the Quakers were harassed. Eventually the West Jersey Society determined that Hamilton was indeed eligible to serve as Governor, and was reinstated. Benjamin Borden was violently anti-Hamilton, and no doubt did make the alleged statements against him.

RESEARCHER: wrote the following to T.Mason on 23 Aug 2003, "An incident in the life of Dan that was unique to me, at the time, now I understand it isn't unusual. I was 10 when Dan died, at home, following a serious bout of strep. He had a small flock of sheep. He fed them at the same time religiously. Betty was 18 or 19 at the time and she kept the sheep fed during Dan's illness but they did not eat as well. Dan died about 8:15 in the morning and the sheep started to bleat at almost the same time. They "cried & cried". They were so forlorn Sybil had to call someone to come pick them up and take them away. She could not handle their grief."
