Thank you, Tim. The couple who transfer this property in 1768 are Henry Van BEBBER, son of Jacob, aka James (Hendricks) Henry Van BEBBER (ca 1725- ?), and his wife, Hester GOODING, daughter of Jacob GOODING and Hester (Isaacs) Van BEBBER. They are said to have lived at Kirkwood. Hendrick Van BEBBER the father of Jacob/James, grandfather of the Henry above, and Isaac Van BEBBER, the father of Hester Van BEBBER, grandfather of Hester GOODING, were both sons of Jacob (Isaacs) Van BEBBER. Henry Van BEBBER of Kirkwood was one of those to sign a petition in 1761 requesting a road "from the lower Kings road which shall pass between the improved lands of William Golden and James Macdonough, to the said mill and from thence to the upper Kings road near to the new meeting-house or upper part of David Witherspoon's plantation." David Witherspoon was the second husband of Hester (Hendricks) Van BEBBER. James Macdonough had been married to Lydia LEROUX, daughter of Peter LEROUX and Christina Van BEBBER (dau of Jacob/James Hendricks Van BEBBER). I need a death date for the Henry Van BEBBER who was married to Hester GOODING. I think they may have moved to Virginia. Francina HERMAN (1662-1749), whose land this had once been, was Augustine HERMAN's youngest. She was married to Joseph WOOD. They had two sons and four daughters; I am looking for any marriage of their daughter Rebecca, and looking for the WOOD descendents. I would always welcome any recitations of land deals of theirs too. I still wonder if the Augustine HERMAN 1684 transfer of lands to the Labadists has been transcribed somewhere. The CD sounds interesting. Thanks very much for the land deal.
