1. John Debord, born abt 1704

Note:
1) James Deboarde son of James Deboarde, soldr christened on 14 October 1666 in Berwick Upon Tweed. (FHC film #0453486)

2) James Deboarde's age at time of christening is not listed. A few entries in the records do list the child's age. It appears the age of the child is only listed when the child was christened at a later date than the normal christening age of less than one year. This would suggest a birthdate of 1665 or 1666 for James.

3) From Complete Book of Emigrants 1661-1699, by Peter Wilson Coldman, Baltimore, Genological Publishing Co 1985 page 558, from Lord Mayor of London Waiting Books, Corp of London, Record Office, P.

My main contribution to this research has been in obtaining census records mainly for Debord families and then combining the research of others when it appears to be logical based on the census data.
