Notes |
- John Hornor (10), son of John (9) was born in Tadcaster, England, about 1630, and died "suddenly" at White Hill, West Jersey, 2/25/1689. He was a man of substance, and a Friend, who left his native land on account of the religious persecutions of his fellow Christians. He reached Burlington, on the ship New Providence, 11/1/1683, accompanied by his 3d wife and four children, with ten servants. In 1684 he purchased from William Black, the White Hill property of 200 acres, on the Delaware just south of the Farnsworth estate, where King Joseph Bonaparte afterwards made his home. The Hornor homestead is now the site of a State Industrial School.
John Hornor was three times married. His first wife, Isobel, died 1/2/1667. He married, secondly, 3/24/1668, Sarah, daughter of Edward Wilberforce, who died 9/22/1673, leaving children, John (14) and Mary (15).
