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."
