from David Macdonald
from Emma Ten Broeck Runk
"John was the younger of the two sons left by Charles (2), and the
joint executor of his Father's Will.
Under that will his inheritance was of the southern part of his
Father's land, very easily distinguished by the Indian name of the
stream the Wickecheoche. It contained a grist and a saw mill, and
certain lands on the Delaware River, in all over seventy acres,
which he denotes as 'my plantation'. He was a Miller by trade.
No date of birth has been found. His marriage was recorded in
Trenton, to Elizabeth Wilson, on November 8, 1768.
His Will made on July 6, 1773, only five years later, indicates his
short life, as it was proven one month later.
His sons are left equal shares of the estate, although the
birthright of Charles (40) is mentioned, thus providing him the elder.
His Executors, 'beloved friends' John Lambert, and Samuel Wilson
with his 'beloved wife' Elizabeth do not sell the property as given
permission in the will, And twenty-one years later the sons give deed
to John Prall Jr. for the entire property.
Children of John Woolverton (12) and Elizabeth Wilson
40. i. Charles, who received five shillings sterling in lieu of his birthright. Married Ann-.
41. ii. George, who inherited equally with his brother, excepting the birthright."
