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."

Children of Charles Woolverton (2) and Margaret -

from David Macdonald

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.

Biography

The wife of Roger Wolverton/Woolverton is frequently said to be a Mary Fox. According to David Macdonald ("The Woolverton Family: 1693-1850 and Beyond", p.7), there is no contemporary evidence for that statement. Macdonald suggests that she could have been Mary Milburn, daughter of Andrew and Sarah Milburn/Milbourne.

Marfy Goodspeed on her blog Goodspeed Histories (https://goodspeedhistories.com/george-fox-of-hunterdon-county/) claims the following:

"In my last post, I discussed the founder of the Quaker religion, George Fox of England (1624-1691) and his nephew George Fox of New Jersey (1662-aft. 1721) and his wife Jane Palmer.

This second George Fox and his family emigrated to Hunterdon County where he bought land in 1719, a fairly early date for Hunterdon. George and wife Jane had a son George Fox, born January 1700 in Hornungold, Leicestershire, England. They also had a daughter Mary, born about 1702, who is thought to have married Roger Wolverton, son of the emigrant Charles Wolverton and Mary Chapman.

Marriage of Roger Wolverton and Mary Fox
If there is a record of this marriage, I haven’t found it online. Perhaps it can be found in a recent book, The Wolverton Family 1693-1850 by David MacDonald and Nancy N. McAdams. There is some circumstantial evidence, but not much to go on.

1) Roger’s father Charles Wolverton sold land in Amwell/Kingwood to Mary’s father George Fox in 1719.

2) Roger’s will dated 24 Feb 1747, Hopewell, was witnessed by Mary Fox.

3) Many family trees state that Roger married Mary Fox, but they never give proof.

There is another school of thought regarding this marriage, claiming that the maiden name of Roger’s wife was Milburn or Milbourn, not Fox. But once again, I found no record of this marriage. Instead, more circumstantial evidence:

1) On Feb 19, 1741, Administration of the estate of Andrew Milbourn of Hopewell was granted to his widow Sarah. Her surety was Roger Wolverton of Hopewell, tailor; witnessed by Archibald Horne and John Clark. On May 15th, Rogert Wolverton and Andrew Smith made the inventory of Andrew Milbourn dec’d. Andrew Milbourn did have a daughter named Mary.

2) On Feb 24, 1747, Roger Wolverton of Hopewell wrote his will, which was witnessed by Mary Fox, Mary Fowler, Timothy Milburn, and Andrew Smith. Timothy Milburn seems not to have been a son of Andrew, but I really don’t know who he was.

Let’s complicate things a little more. Going back to the family of Charles Wolverton and Mary Chadwick (Roger’s parents), they had a daughter Mary, born March 11, 1702 in Burlington County [from the Wolverton Bible], about whom no one seems to have any information. She could have died as a child—that was certainly common enough. But all the other children of Charles and Mary lived well into adulthood, so I think she probably did too.

And it just so happens that she is exactly the right age to be the Mary who married George Fox, the brother of the Mary Fox who might have married Roger Wolverton. And this Mary Wolverton Fox could well have been the Mary Fox who witnessed the will of Roger Wolverton in 1747. Marriages of siblings were not uncommon in the 18th century. So, this seems logical, but with genealogy, as with lawsuits, it’s not much use unless it can be proved.

This is where us poor frazzled genealogists start wailing and gnashing our teeth, hoping that these people spent a little time in purgatory for the sin of not recording their marriages or writing their wills.

***This claim is based on no small amount of circumstantial evidence and opinion, and not much proof."

The deed of such transfer to him has not been found, as is the case in the records of his Brothers, but the boundaries given in their deeds mentions such possession.

Isaac witnessed the deeds for land given by his Father to his Brothers Charles and Dennis. In the Will of his brother Charles, made in 1761, their lands adjoin. The last legal paper referring to the land bears date October 14, 1770.

An old family bible, which in 1900 was owned by Sidney Woolverton of Bailey, Missouri, records the wife of (an) Isaac Woolverton as named Abigail, but no family name is given. The following record is taken from this bible. It may be the record of a grandson, as the dates suggest.

Child of Isaac Woolverton and Abigail -----

21. i. Stephen, born August 9, 1751; died January 1, 1826; married Mercy Cox, born April 22, 1750, died September 12, 1830, daughter of Isaac Cox of Philada., Pa.

For Abigail the wife of Isaac Woolverton refer, N. J. Archives
Vol. 32. Page 155 in the Will of Isaac Herrin. Date April 7, 1756."

Biography

He was born in NJ,Hunterdon-Co,Amwell-Twp (now Burlington-Co).

On 04 March 1731 his father conveyed to him 146 acres of land in NJ,Hunterdon-Co,Amwell-Twp upon which he lived.

He was a husbandman who resided in NJ,Hunterdon-Co (section now in NJ,Mercer-Co),

In 1731 he & his wife were baptised by Mr. JENKINS in the Kingwood-Baptist-Church in NJ,Hunterdon-Co,Hopewell-Twp,Baptisttown. They & several others listed were members of the church sometime between it's founding on 1715/04/23 & when they left on 1742/05/22 to form another church, called the Church of Christ at Bethlehem where they are also listed in records of that church as founding members.

He died between 1770 & 1806 in NJ,Hunterdon-Co,Kingwood-Twp,Rosemont,

Research Notes

There is a problem among WOLVERTON family researchers about whether there were one or two Isaac WOLVERTONs who married women named Abigail. Many printed family trees are based on the assumption that there was only one Isaac - & he was the son of the immigrant Charles; and that he married Abigail HERRIN. MacDONALD's careful review of original land, church & probate records and an analysis of the signatures of the various Isaacs led him to conclude that Isaac, son of the immigrant Charles, was married to an Abigail of unknown maiden surname; and that their only son, another Isaac, was married to 1) Abigail HERRIN & 2) Hannah ROSE.

Both he & his son Isaac were illiterate. The younger Isaac signed legal papers with an "I".

Rhonda Ramsey makes the following claim:

"I am in the process of writing a book about the life and times of Charles Woolverton, the emigrant. The authors of "The Woolverton Family, 1693 to 1850 and Beyond" are WRONG about Isaac Woolverton not being married to Abigail Herrin. In my opinion, they were most decidedly NOT 'careful' in their research concerning this marriage because the very sources they cite as their proof, do, in fact, PROVE the opposite. Not only were they wrong, but they have done a great disservice to the descendants of Issac and Abigail HERRIN and I sincerely hope they will exercise good conscience by admitting their error and revising the book to reflect the facts!

Setting The Record Straight: Marriage of Isaac Woolverton Sr. to Abigail Herrin"

***This claim is in regard to a statement made by David Macdonald that there were multiple Isaac Woolvertons, and that the second Isaac, not the first, married Abigail Herrin. Rhonda's refutation has not yet been published, but will be provided here when it has. Macdonald has been quite meticulous in his research to this point, so it will take considerable evidence to prove his work is erroneous.

See the work of David Macdonald in "The Woolverton Family, 1693 to 1850 and Beyond" (Rockport, ME: Penobscot Press, 2001) for thorough research and a clear analysis of the problem of whether there were one or two Isaac Wolvertons who married women named Abigail.

8. Dinah Woolverton ¹ (Charles¹) was born on 26 Mar 1711 in Rosemont, Hunterdon County, West Jersey, USA and died after 1779. Other names for Dinah were Furman, Pettit, and Dinah Wolverton.

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."

9. Joel Woolverton ¹ (Charles¹) was born on 31 May 1715 in Rosemont, Hunterdon County, NJ and died on 25 Feb 1795 in Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, NJ, aged 79. Another name for Joel was Joel Wolverton.

General Notes: FTM BIRT: RIN MH:IF2983

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".

27. ii. Gabriel
28. iii. Joel, Jr.
29. iv. John, now in Alexandria Township.

General Notes: FTM BIRT: RIN MH:IF2984

from Emma Ten Broeck Runk:

"Thomas (10), born May 17, 1717, the seventh son and youngest child in
the Bible record of Charles (1), was probably born in Hunterdon County,
married Mary. –

Very few legal records under the name of Thomas Woolverton have been
found. A Will made by Samuel Allen in 1732 mentions a Thomas Woolverton
by name, as also the settlement of an estate in 1757.

His own estate is recorded at Trenton, N. J. and on July 2, 1759
Letters of Administration were granted to Mary Woolverton . . of all
credits of Thomas Woolverton Esq. Deceased, late of Newton, Sussex
County, N.J. to which is added "Accounts of Thomas Woolverton settled
by Mary Woolverton, Ephriam Darby and Nathaniel Pettit."
