General Notes: Husband - Joel Woolverton
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".
Children of Joel Woolverton (9) and Elizabeth
26. i. Job
27. ii. Gabriel
28. iii. Joel, Jr.
29. iv. John, now in Alexandria Township.
30. v. Andrew
31. vi. Charles. Probably married Effie Nailer, daughter of Robert Nailer. Of this line, in the sixth generation is Alfred Newton Woolverton of Vancouver, B. C. He has made a very voluminous Chart of many branches of the widely scattered family of Woolvertons.
32. vii. Jane married - Duckworth, (according to the Will).
33. viii. Mary married - Duckworth, (according to the Will).
34. iv. Amy married - Severns, (according to the Will)."
