Notes:

rootsweb: NJHUNTER archives - Kay
Elizabeth Jardine and Mary Jardine are actually they are one and the same. The marriage license for the state (obtained from the archives in Trenton), gives the bride's name as Elizabeth Ann JARDINE. The records of the Kingwood M.E. Church (same day, same groom)gives
the bride's name as Mary JARDINE. Her children's birth certificates (the two that I have in my possession) both give her name as Mary A. or Mary Ann. Her death certificate and her tombstone both say Mary A.
