Sixth Generation (Continued)
John BOORMAN (Robert5, William4, Alexander3, John2, John1).
Born in 1644 in Cranbrook, Kent, England. Christened on 26 Jan 1644.
RESEARCH NOTES
- There are 2 different John Boorman individuals in this tree, both either born or christened on the same day in 1644 in Cranbrook Kent, but each with different parents (as reported by different researchers). Was he the son of Robert and Susan Boorman OR of William and Rebecca (Waterman) Boorman (who would have been married for 20 years in 1644). Both can’t be right so this needs further investigation. Can’t find the baptism entry.
- Could this be his will?
