Three of these are already in the catalog and were deliberately not ordered: Aaron = [F.215] and [F.60], Robert = [F.217], John = [F.278]. Note the dates for the two 1851 Frelinghuysen rows: Aaron 12 April and Margaret 15 April, three days apart on the same register page - while [p.13] and [p.1709] record Margaret's death as 18 April, "six days after her husband". The index and the catalog disagree by three days; both readings are kept and neither is corrected here.

Libbah and Sibbah, both 51y, both 30 April 1855 are evidently two index readings of one
entry rather than two women; the pair is kept as the database gives it.

No Benjamin. Hunterdon is [p.2] Benjamin Cooper's county, but he died in 1794, more than fifty years before registration began - so his absence here is a fact about the date of the series, not about him.
