Notes for: Ruth Ann Bordine

From Ronny Bodine:

From: First Reformed Church, New Brunswick, Middlesex County, Register of Baptisms 1811-1863:
Ruth Ann Bordine, born 3 July 1825, bapt. 1826 with her brother William.

Aside from this record of her birth and baptism, it is unclear if she survived as she was not named among the heirs of her father in a deed of April 1842. There is a belief that she is identical with Ruth A. Borden who married Abraham W. Kimble in Burlington County on 5 April 1846. Abraham Kimble was born 8 July 1822 in Springfield, Burlington County and died 17 April 1877. The couple raised a large family and lived their lives in Burlington County as is evidenced by the following census records. However, there is a disparity in the birth date between that recorded in her baptismal record and her age on her grave marker which establishes her birth as 1 June 1822. There is no clear record that Ruth Ann Bordine, daughter of Cornelius Bordine and Ruth Ann Borden, wife of Abraham Kimble were the same person.
