from Emma Ten Broeck Runk:
"Charles Woolverton (40) George Woolverton (41)
These two sons, the only children of John and Elizabeth Woolverton were very young at their Father's death in 1773.
The property which they received at the date when both had attained their majority is herewith given. All else is lacking in the effort to place them.
In 1750 Charles Woolverton (2) purchased of the Howells seventy acres of land with mills thereon, bounded by lines on the Delaware River and lying south of the Wickecheoche Creek. In his will in 1761 all this was bequeathed to his younger son John, the Father of these boys. And in turn his Executors made deed to them, dated October 22, 1792 - thus they inherited the land their Grandfather had purchased.
On May 1, 1794 - two years later - Charles and his Brother George sold the whole property to John Prall Jr.
It is not difficult to find the boundaries of this inheritance. The Wickecheoche Creek has eroded a deep ravine through the brow of the table land, and here, where it empties into the Delaware River it is a picturesque stream.
There are Woolverton ancestral lands very near this section, but the village is named Prallsville, so called because of this sale, and the mills still supply the community with necessities.
No further history of the sons of John Woolverton has been found."
