from Emma Ten Broeck Runk:
"Dennis, the fifth son of Charles Woolverton, was born in Burlington County, January 26, 1709. He received from his Father a farm of 163 acres in Amwell, Hunterdon County, described as on "the king's Highway", and adjoining the land of his brothers Isaac and Joel. "The natural love and affection" of his Father was expressed in the deed. His name occurs in the settlement of the estates of Emanuel Coryell in 1757, and in that of Abigail Mildrom in 1763.
His marriage to Elizabeth Pettit is known through county records. Their eldest son, died it is said, by drowning in the Delaware River. Letters of Administration were granted to Dennis, dated December 2, 1763, for this son, Charles.
His Will dated March 20, 1772, was written "when he was in perfect health" as stated, and was probated September 5, 1774 at Amwell.
He willed to Elizabeth, his wife one hundred pounds in lieu of her dower. To Nathaniel, the only son of my eldest son Charles, deceased, he gives as birthright of his Father, one hundred acres.
The son Jonathan and daughter Mary were each devised lands, and two granddaughters, named Tomlinson, were to receive stated sums of money.
Dennis Woolverton died August 19, 1774; Elizabeth his wife, January 2, 1783 in her 72nd. year. They are both buried at Rosemont, Hunterdon Co., N. J.
