[Home] [Partial Genealogy Records]John Antrim RecordJohn Antrim, born: 29 1mo 1646; died: 1719; Northampton, Burlington Co. NJ; buried: 30 5mo 1719; John, married: 15 5mo 1682; Burlington Co. NJ; Frances Butcher, born: 1658; Biddletown, Buckingham, England; died: ca. 1719; Burlington, NJ; Dau. of John & Ann Butcher; These are the webmaster's ancestors. Frances' and her mother's certificate of removal from Biddletown, Buckinghamshire, England can be found in Harriet Stockton Antrim's book called Antrim Family of America, page 11. Frances had three brother who also came to New Jersey: John who married Mary Walker; Thomas who married Esther ?; & William. A copy of John & Frances Antrim's marriage record and a copy of John's will (sic) placed after the listing of their children. Dee Ann Buck writes: Their children were born in Burlington, Burl. Co. N.J. The birth dates as listed in Harriet Stockton Antram's book were left under the Julian calendar, and not converted to the modern day calendar -- Gregorian. Under the Julian calendar the year began on March 25; March was the first month and February the twelfth month. I have consulted the L.D.S./I.G.I for N.J. and these children's birth dates have been listed using the Gregorian calendar, and this is how all my dates appear through out this text. Wm. Hinshaw's Vol. II has the birth dates for this couple's first three children, under the "old calendar." Birth dates which occurred before the year of 1752 should be viewed with caution. It was Antrim Researcher--Jack H. Douglass, who informed me that there were two son named Thomas, the first one died young. All dates used in these records are based on the Quaker practice of using numbers for months and are based on the Gregorian equivalent of the common month names. All chn. of above were born in Burlington, Burlington Co. NJ; Issue: Antrim
