Area of New Jersey in 1740)”. THEORIES: There is a 50 year generation gap to fill in someone born @1770, who would in turn marry and have Nathan in 1794. OR David immigrated as a child in 1740, became an adult and didn’t marry until 1760 when he had Benjamin who only married once Sarah Lyons in 1784 and had Nathan in 1794.OR David is the same person as Abner, first and middle name.
