General Notes: Husband - Morris Woolverton [K2XJ-DVH]

from David Macdonald

from Emma Ten Broeck Runk: died Nov 1770
"Morris Woolverton, the eldest son of Charles (2), was born and his
life was spent on the farm given by Charles (1) to his Father.

We have no date of either his birth or death. We only
approximate the former as about 1730, and his death, reading between
the lines of his Will must have been in October 1770, in middle life.

He married Margery, (or as it appears in his Will Mary) Baker. She
was the daughter of Samuel Baker of Amwell. The family were remarkable
for longevity, although we have no record of her death, a Sister lived
to pass the century mark.

Very little is known of the activities of his life. In the County
Records of Roads, Vol. I. of Hunterdon Co., under date of October 31,
1761 "A grievance" is referred to him. And the following month Morris
Woolverton was one of the Commissioners for laying out the Roads of
Amwell. He wrote his name "Morris" but after his death it is found in
records "Maurice".

His Will probated a month after the date of making, is dated October
14, 1770. The family of five children were all under age, so that
Morris leaves as Executors his Brother John Woolverton (12) and his
friend Richard Green.

The disposition of his belongings shows the custom of the times.

To Mary his "Well Beloved Wife", in lieu of her Dower, in addition
to one seventh of the money realized from the sale of the belongings in
land and other possessions, he wills that she shall have "one
featherbed and furniture, two cows, one horse, which she shall choose,
a side-saddle and bridle, a Bilsted upboard, and two iron Pots". "The care, management and disposal of my
children in their Nonage shall be reposed in her."

This will was taken to Trenton, and given "the Prerogative Seal at
Burlington," on November 26, 1770. Trenton Records Liber 15, page 86.

His Brother John Woolverton (12) died within three years, so that an
"Agreement", regarding the settlement of the estate was recorded. His
Executors were given permission to sell the estate and divide the
monies. They "adjudged the sale would be attended with great loss", and
held it.
