General Notes: FTM BIRT: RIN MH:IF2970
from Emma Ten Broeck Runk:
"Charles Woolverton (2) the eldest of the second generation was born
at or near Burlington January 17, 1698. The family removed to
Amwell, Hunterdon County soon after the purchase of the tract of
1665 acres of William Biddle by Charles, his Father, in 1714.
The Homestead was to the north of the town of Rosemont, the lands
lying on both sides of the highway. Legal papers are the only source
of knowledge, as well as the surest. The Father Charles gave to the son
Charles under date of March 1, 1731 "All that tract of land . in the
township of Amwell" comprising 288 acres. The deed specifies as from
"Charles Woolverton ye elder for and in consideration of the natural
love and affection which he hath toward his said son Charles Woolverton
ye younger". The deed was duly witnessed, signed and acknowledged
before John Reading, "one of his Majesties Commissioners for the
Province" on September 29, 1735.
A deed made in 1746, recorded in Trenton, Book H, page 79 also sets
forth the sonship.
In Book of Wills, Trenton, Liber 12, page 250 is recorded the Will
of Charles Woolverton (2). From this document is found the name of the
wife Margaret. But nothing reveals her family name. The two sons,
Morris and John are to be co-executors of the Will.
This was made under date of May 7, 1761, and "sworn" October 30,
1765, under William Franklin, Capt. Gen. and Governor in Chief of the
Colony."

from Emma Ten Broeck Runk:
"Roger Woolverton was born December 1, 1700, presumably near Mount
Carmell, Burlington County, N. J., the second son of Charles (1) and
Mary Chadwick. His life seems to have been spent at Hopewell, N. J.
In 1722 he was taxed as a "single man", and was a tailor by
profession. The Town Records of Hopewell list him as "Overseer of
Roger's Road" in March 1735/6. The same year he sold to his Brother,
Dennis Woolverton a small tract of land lying near to Dennis' other
land.
This deed proves both his parentage, referring to his Father,
Charles and also that he had married Mary -, although we have no clue
to her family name, for she wittnessed the Deed, as Mary Woolverton.
In the N. J. Calendar of Willis his name appears in the settlement
of several estates, particularly in 1741 and 1746 when he made the
Inventory for the properties mentioned.
Roger Woolverton's Will is recorded in Trenton, N. J. It cites his
wife Mary, sons Isaac, Charles and Roger; daughters Rosannah, Mary,
Sarah, Dinah and Rosemond. All the children are under age. He names
three brothers as Executors, Charles, Isaac and Dennis Woolverton.
The Will was "Sworn" at (Signed) Roger Woolverton.

8. Dinah Woolverton [LZJW-WR3] [42] was born on 26 Mar 1711 in Rosemont, Hunterdon County, West Jersey, USA and died after 1779. FamilySearch ID: LZJW-WR3.
General Notes: FTM BIRT: RIN MH:IF2982
from Emma Ten Broeck Runk:
"Dinah Woolverton was born March 26, 1711. The second daughter of Charles (1). Her christian name was carried down in the family for several generations, but her married name has not been found, if she did marry, thus no further data is available.
from Carl Wolverton
From David Macdonald:
"Dinah married, around 1732 to estimate from the date of birth of her first son, (1)Andrew Pettit, who probably died in 1748. He was the son of Nathaniel Pettit and Elizabeth Heath. Andrew Heath of Hopewell Township, Hunterdon County, left a will dated 3 January 1716/7 in which he mentioned his son-in-law, Nathaniel Pettit, and grandchildren; Elizabeth, Abigail and Andrew Pettit. Of Andrew Heath's daughters, only Elizabeth was in a position to be Nathaniel Pettit's wife.
There is no direct proof that Andrew Pettit's wife Dinah was born Dinah Woolverton, but is [sic] has long been assumed to be the fact. Dinah was not a common name, and perhaps the most persuasive evidence is that the eldest of the children of Andrew and Dinah Pettit was named Charles, a Woolverton name but not a Pettit name. Moreover, the connections between the two families were close. Dinah's brother Dennis married Andrew Pettit's sister Elizabeth, and Dinah's brother Thomas married Andrew Pettit's sister Mary.
The account of a Dinah Pettit was included in the estate of Thomas Furman of Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, who died in 1749.
Dinah Pettit, a Quaker of Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, was appointed administratrix of the estate of Andrew Pettit of Amwell Township, on 21 October 1748, and Job Robins, of the same place, was fellowbondsman. Witnessed by Anne Rockhill. The inventory was made by Job Robins, Mansfield Hunt, and Amos Thatcher.
Dinah married (2) Jonathan Furman, of Amwell Township, son of Samuel Furman and Elizabeth Roberts. Elizabeth Roberts, wife of Samuel Furman, was the daughter of Thomas Roberts (c 1636-1679) and Sarah Strickland.
By instrument dated 23 February 1765 Charles Pettit, Nathaniel Pettit, and Elizabeth Pettit recited that Andrew Pettit, late of Amwell Township, died intestate leaving Charles Pettit, Nathaniel Pettit, and Elizabeth Pettit as his children and heirs, and that the administration of his estate was granted to their mother, Dinah Pettit, widow and relict of their father, Andrew Pettit, who had since married Jonathan Furman of Amwell Township. They acknowledged receipt of their share of their father's estate.
Dinah Furman's last known appearance in the public records was in 1779, when she appeared in the tax rolls of Kingwood Township, Hunterdon County."

from Emma Ten Broeck Runk:
"Joel, born May 31, 1715, was given a farm, by his Father as always-
'for natural love and affection'. The deed is dated June 13, 1737, and
conveys 186¼ acres to his son, from Charles (1).
While the name of Joel is of frequent mention in the Deeds giving
lands to others, designating boundaries, few legal records referring to
his own affairs are found.
His Will, dated June 29, 1790 denotes a long life, and also a large
family. His wife's name Elizabeth, is given, and the names of six sons
and three daughters. With one exception they are written as of Amwell
Township, John is living in Alexandria Township, and all are called
"yoeman".
Children of Joel Woolverton (9) and Elizabeth
26. i. Job
27. ii. Gabriel
28. iii. Joel, Jr.
29. iv. John, now in Alexandria Township.
30. v. Andrew
31. vi. Charles. Probably married Effie Nailer, daughter of Robert Nailer. Of this line, in the sixth generation is Alfred
Newton Woolverton of Vancouver, B. C. He has made a very voluminous Chart of many branches of the widely scattered family of Woolvertons.
32. vii. Jane married - Duckworth, (according to the Will).
33. viii. Mary married - Duckworth, (according to the Will).
34. iv. Amy married - Severns, (according to the Will)."

Letters of Administration were granted to Mary Woolverton . . of all
credits of Thomas Woolverton Esq. Deceased, late of Newton, Sussex
