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.
Trenton April 21, 1748.
Recorded in Liber 5 of Wills. Folio 444.

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.
