FTM BIRT: RIN MH:IF2988
from Emma Ten Broeck Runk:
"John Woolverton the only son of Morris Woolverton and Mary Baker was not fifteen years old at the time of his Father's death, in 1770. According to his Father's Will the homestead farm was to have been sold, evidently it was not, as the family continued to reside there, and the following paper was made and duly signed under date of December 13, 1787, "Between Margaret Wilson, wife of Silas Wilson of Phila., and Abigail Woolverton and Sophia Woolverton, Spinsters now or late of Amwell Township, State of New Jersey of the one part and John Woolverton, farmer of the Township and State aforesaid. Whereas Maurice (Morris) Woolverton . . . deceased, did by his last will and testament direct that a certain tract of land . . . should be sold . . . . The aforesaid Legatees adjudged it would be attended with great loss to do according to the Will, . . and did agree to accept of the said John Woolverton the several sums . . . and forever Quit Claim unto the said John Woolverton all right, Title and Interest whatsoever in the land and Plantation . Thus it became his home.
Just before John Woolverton attained his majority, in April, 1776, he enlisted at Ringoes, N.J., as Private in Captain George Ely's Company, Second Regiment of Hunterdon County Militia. He also served fifteen other monthly tours, in Companies commanded by Captain George Ely, and also under other Officers. He was accidently wounded in the right arm on June 27th, and thus prevented from taking part in the Battle of Monmouth, N. J.
John Woolverton was commissioned Ensign of Captain George Ely's Company Second Regiment, Hunterdon Co. N. J. Militia. The Powder horn used by him in the Revolution is in the possession of his Great Grand-son Rev. William H. Woolverton, of Stockton, N.J.
Closely following his service as Soldier he appears in the character of Lover. He sought the hand of Rachel Quinby, the daughter [of] Isaiah Quinby and Rachel Warford. The latter was the daughter of John Warford of Hunterdon Co. The Quinby family was descended from William Quinby of West Chester Co., N.Y.
It is related that when John Woolverton asked Isaiah Quinby for his daughter he was refused on the ground that he was not able to support a wife. John answered "Never mind I will own more land than you before I die". He was a good farmer, a provident manager, and accumulated farms so that at his death each child was provided with one, and it is said he had twenty horses, thus making good his promise, at least. Although Isaiah Quinby was a Friend, his daughter Rachel was married to John Woolverton by the Rev. William Frazier, a Clergyman of the Church of
England who had charge of St. Andrew's Parish, Amwell, then situated at Ringoes, (but since then the Parish has been removed to Lambertville, N. J.). The Marriage Record of the Ancient Parish gives their marriage under the date of January 3, 1779. (Copy with Hunterdon Co. Historical Society, Flemington, New Jersey.)
There are numerous records on file in the Hunterdon County office at Flemington, of both purchases and sales of land and farms made by John Woolverton.
The earliest date, May 7, 1799 relates to the purchase of 482 acres for 1627 pounds, for a tract the boundaries of which are given by reference to Eagle Island and Wichecheoche Creek. This is the date at which it is said that John Woolverton left the homestead on the hill and removed to the place where he spent the rest of his life, where both he and his wife died. This place is still in the family.
Among the family papers left by John Woolverton (35) was one bearing date December 13, 1787, referring to the settlement of his Father's estate, as touching the division of an unliquidated account between the estate of his Uncle John Woolverton (12) and the heirs.
John Woolverton's death occurred on December 10, 1837, in his eighty-third year. His wife survived him four years, until January 17, 1842. They are buried in the Rosemont Cemetery.
His Will is recorded in Trenton, N. J. dated September 25, 1830, probated January 6, 1838. In it he makes mention of each of his children, and "my old homestead farm, formerly the property of my Father." The latter, together with two additional farms bought at different times, he wills to the three daughters, Sarah Stockton, Margaret Reading, and Nancy Barcroft. The two sons Samuel and James Woolverton are appointed Executors.
