Howdy folks - beginning with this section, and the last two remaining volumes yet to be completed, you will begin to see mentionings of locations as 'East Jersey' or 'West Jersey' and even places now considered in NY but which, in those earlier times, the demarkation lines had not been decided. As well, there will be a greater number of blank sections in the 'Late of' column due to the fact that, in trying to decipher the entries, it seems quite difficult for me to reach a conclusion as to where folks may have come from. Even though a particular will may have been 'proved' in a specific NJ county, but the will owner was not of NJ, that bit of data has been left out; it is apparent the testator may simply have owned land in NJ but resided elsewhere. As usual, setup your page in 'landscape' with 1" borders. Anyone wishing me to transcribe an entry, send your request(s) to my offlist address [email protected] and include the whole line of data so I can more easily find the original source. THANX & ENJOY!

Hutchinson collection at the NJ Historical Society, a compilation of primary source deeds for the properties along both sides of South Main St. from High St. to the Yardville Rd. Advertisement March 23, 1785, "William Wilgus and Rhoda his wife, of Allentown," &c. conveyed to Burnet Montgomery, of the same place, for L51, in gold or silver, "All that lot of land situate, lying and being in Allentown, &c—except a road or pathway already conveyed by William Young to John Imlay, Esqr.: Beginning at the southwest corner of Walter Vanskiver's shop at York Road. Thence running N 15 degrees 45' W, 9, 22, to a corner of a lot of land and meadow formerly possessed by William Stillwell, deceased: Thence along the line of said lot, N 66 degrees W, 2, 76, to a stake on the edge of the bank: Thence S 15 degrees 45' E, 10, 75, to York Road: Thence along said road N 71 degrees 30' E, 2, 10, to the place of beginning: containing two acres, strict measure." (Peter Vanderbeek's Papers) July 19, 1832, John H. Perrine, sheriff of Monmouth, conveyed to Samuel C. Newell, for $445, "All that certain dwelling house, lot or parcel of land at Allentown, &c, which was conveyed by George Woolsey and Elizabeth his wife to John Bunting, by deed, &c. Beginning at the southwest corner of the shop formerly belonging to Thomas Clayton, now Walter Vanskyver's, at York Road. Thence running N 15 degrees 45' W, 9, 22, to the corner of a lot of land and meadow formerly belonging to William Stillwell, now to John Imlay: Thence along the line, N 66 degrees W, 2, 43, to an old white oak stump: Thence continuing the same course, 1, 34, to another corner of the said lot of land and meadow, bounded by the several courses thereof about 11, 70, to a line of a lot formerly belonging to John Robbins, now to William Hutcherson: Thence S 13 degrees E, along the division ditch, 17, 76, to York Road: Thence along the road, N 71 degrees 30' E 13, 81, to the place of beginning; containing 19 acres of land, be the same more or less: Excepting as in and by said deed is excepted, and excepting the part thereof released by the said complainant to John Palmer, as is set forth in the said bill of complaint. Sold at the suit of George Woolsey against John Bunting and Cornelia his wife, and Aaron Allen and Lydia his wife, on a judgment of $351, principal and interest of a mortgage given by said John Bunting and Cornelia his wife to said George Woolsey, dated April 1, 1826," &c. (Eglinton Papers) This 19 acres included also the aforesaid two acre lot. It extended on West Main Street from the premises now owned by Harrison G. Wright to the easterly line of the 17 ¼ acres on which Josiah S. Robbins now lives, the westerly line of the 300 acres patented to Anthony Woodward in 1697. The westerly part of it, containing 12 32/100 acres, was in 1832, and for many years thereafter in the possession of John Palmer, but there were never any buildings on it until recent years, nor upon any part of the whole tract with one exception. As late as 1850 there existed on that part of it where the residence of Mrs. Mary Pumyea now is, a large old fashioned house and out buildings, unpainted and gloomy looking, which always impressed me as having been at some time a tavern, although I have never found anyone having any knowledge that such had been the case. David Holloway lived there for many years before Aaron Robbins (my great uncle) bought that part of which the buildings were located, and erected the present one in their stead. I am of the opinion that this was the original settlement on Anthony Woodward's patent, and the residence successively of John Page, John DeWildy, John Leming, Isaac Stelle and Elias Smith, all of whom, as I believe, kept a public house there, and others after them. One of these was Charles Jolley, who is mentioned in 1800, in a description evidently taken from a much older deed, as the owner of a lot at the southerly corner of Main and High Streets, in "the orchard." James Robbins, of Allentown, &c, Taylor," in his will, 1747/8, devised to his daughter, Elizabeth Robins "all that Lott of Land which I purchased of Charles Jolley, containing 3 ¼ acres." "John Hepburn, Junr. of freehold, &c, yeoman," in his will, in 1745, mentions his sister Elizabeth Jolley, and James and John, sons of Charles Jolley. In 1742 and 1743, Town Meeting was held "at the house of Charles Jolley, in Allens Town." John Jolley was a witness of the will of William Cubberly, of Nottingham, in 1774. In the "New York Gazette for March 20, 1733, an advertisement appeared which probably relates to the same premises, as follows: "These are to give Notice, That at Allens Town, in New Jersey, on the Post Road to Burlington, there is good House & Orchard, with 13 Acres of Land, as also a good Stable and Barn, which is to be Sold. It is the House where the Post lodges, and has for many Years been as well custom'd Publick House, and is well situated for a Merchant. Enquire of Peter Van Tilbrough, living on the Premises, or Capt. John Brown in the City of New York, who will agree on reasonable Terms." December 7, 1772, "John Robins, of Upper Freehold, &c, Blacksmiths." conveyed to "Ezekiel Robins, of the City of Philadelphia, &c, Hatter," for L100, "All that tract of land near Allens Town, Beginning at the northwester-most corner of the tract of land lately belonging to Gisbert Giberson ded'd, on the south side of Doctors Creek: Thence running S 3 degrees E, along the line of land belonging to Samuel Allen (the westerly line of Anthony Woodward's Patent), 21, 75, to the road: Thence along the road, easterly, 10, 75, to a ditch: Thence N 11 degrees 40' W, along said ditch, 18, 50, to William Stillwell's line: Thence along his line and the creeks to the beginning: containing 17 ¼ acres." Release of dower by Martha Robins, May 28, 1774. April 20, 1778, "Gabriel Allen, of the township of Chesterfield &c, Merchant," conveyed to John Quicksall, Junr. of Nottingham, in said county [Hunterdon], yeoman for L258, 15, 0, "All that tract of land now belonging to Soloman Ivins, on the south side of Doctors Creek, thence running S 3 degrees E, 21, 75, along the line of land belonging to the estate of Samuel Allen, deceased, to York Road: Thence along the road, easterly, 10, 75, to a ditch: Thence N 11 degrees, 40 ' W, along said ditch, 18, 40, to the line of land formerly belonging to William Stillwell: Thence along his line and the creek to the place beginning: containing 17 ¼ acres." June 11, 1784, "John Burrowes, High Sheriff of Monmouth," conveyed to "John Imlay, Merchant, of Allentown" &c, for L55, the above tract of 17 ¼ acres, by same description. Sold as the property of John Quicksall, deceased, in the hands of John Hunt, his executor, at suit of John Stillwell, on a judgment for L68, principal and L4, 19, 0, damages. This lot, in 1857, and for many years before and after that time, was the residence of George Ford, who was succeeded by James S. Parker. In 1913, it is owned and occupied by Josiah S. Robbins. Compiled by John Fabiano, M.A., designated historian for Allentown Borough. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi David, I didn't know any of these and I've lived in Jersey all my life. I find it really interesting reading the responses and your info from that locale. Thanks for keeping the line interesting. By the way, I live in Cumberland County and really enjoy the area. I have no history in this area so haven't done any research here. Will be glad to help anyone if I can but don't really know the sources.

In additon to the 'Index of Names of Persons' each volume also has an 'Index of Names of Places,' and so I've taken the liberty of finding and identifying some of them. Match the locations from the following list to a "county." I'll publish the answers and the wills in which they are found in a few days, amd then, if you folks like the idea, we'll do some more. My thinking is that, while we'll all learn about places, we'll get some insight of the people from those places.

Hello Pam, Your research sounds interesting to me. Maybe I can ask a few questions and we can discuss the Drake name a bit. I have heard that there were 2 Drake lines in particular, one was DUTCH , and one was ENGLISH. You say that your dna project has matched your line to Capt. Francis Drake. Was he Dutch or English? I have heard some researchers tell me they are related to SIR Francis Drake. Do they refer to this Capt. Francis Drake? Or to some other man in history? As I recall, Sir Francis Drake was a sailing Captain, or Navigator, and he was English. Have I got this correct? The DUTCH Drake family line was began by Josias Janse De Raet, his descendants used the name DRAKE. This Josias married Aeltje, the daughter of the immigrant Adam Brouwer b. 1620. I research the descendants of Adam Brouwer, which is why I would be interested in the DRAKE name, since all the Dutch Drake names would be Brouwer as well. Not too long ago, and found that my own personal ancestor was Sarah Drake, said to be daughter of John Drake and Sarah Trotten, of Dutchess Co NY. Sarah married Nicholas Brouwer/Brewer of Dutchess Co NY, as his second wife. When he died in 1779, she married in 1780 to Stephen Callow of Dutchess Co NY. Sarah Drake was having children in the 1770 time frame, and her last was about 1778, she died about 1798. I do not have an exact birth date for her, but I estimate about 1740's time period. I have never been able to find any info on her father John Drake, married to a Sarah Trotten. I would like to work on this couple. This DRake line could be Dutch or English,I have no idea. I would like to hear your comments.

Hello Pat ... Thank you for posting. I spent some time yesterday looking for your Gertrude HOFF (b. 1795), searching online sources such as RootsWeb and the NJGenWeb archives. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything there, but then this afternoon I searched the US Census records at HeritageQuest, where I found a citation for what may be your Gertrude HOFF COZZEN. She appears in the 1870 US Census for the township of East Brunswick, Middlesex Co., New Jersey, enumerated 1 Jul 1870, shown as living with the George COZZENS household: 1) George COZZENS (age 30), born in New Jersey 2) Jane COZZENS (age 26), born in New Jersey, 3) Gertrude COZZENS (age 6), born in New Jersey. 4) Edward COZZENS (age 1), born in New Jersey, and finally --- 5) Gertrude COZZENS (age 74), born in New Jersey Next door to the George COZZENS household in this census is the John C. COZZENS household: 1) John C. COZZENS (age 53), born in New Jersey 2) Rachael J. COZZENS (age 52), born in New York, 3) Charles W. COZZENS (age 20), born in New Jersey, 4) Florence A. COZZENS (age 18), born in New Jersey, 5) Gertrude COZZENS (age 16), born in New Jersey, 6) Hester K. COZZENS (age 14), born in New Jersey, 7) Joseph C. COZZENS (age 12), born in New Jersey, 8) Agnes A. COZZENS (age 7), born in New Jersey Armed with that information, I searched the 1860 US Census. In Spottswood, Middlesex Co., New Jersey, enumerated on 9 Jun 1860, I found what appears to be Charles COZZEN himself and his household: 1) Charles CAZZINS (age 75), born in New Jersey, 2) Gitty CAZZINS (age 64), born in New Jersey [Gitty is a common nickname for Gertrude], 3) Mary SHERBURNE (age 37), born in New Jersey, 4) Catherine SHERBURNE (age 15), born in New Jersey Next door to the Charles CAZZINS household is the John C. CAZZINS household: 1) John C. CAZZINS (age 43), born in New Jersey, 2) Rachel J. CAZZINS (age 43), born in New jersey, 3) Daniel W. CAZZINS (age 22), born in New Jersey, 4) Isaac CAZZINS (age 19), born in New Jersey, 5) William CAZZINS (age 18), born in New Jersey, 6) Amanda CAZZINS (age 17), born in New Jersey, 7) John S. CAZZINS (age 15), born in New Jersey, 8) Margaret CAZZINS (age 14), born in New Jersey, 9) Charles W. CAZZINS (age 12), born in New Jersey, 10) Florence A. CAZZINS (age 7), born in New Jersey, 11) Gertrude CAZZINS (age 5), born in New Jersey, 12) Hester CAZZINS (age 3), born in New Jersey, 13) Joseph H. CAZZINS (age 2), born in New Jersey, 14) George CAZZINS (age 1 month), born in New Jersey Do you think that the 1860 and 1870 US census entries I've quoted above relate to Gertrude HOFF COZZEN's family? Then this evening I found an entry in WorldConnect for John C. COZZENS, the possible "family next door" to Gertrude HOFF COZZEN: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=wcolley2&id=I0702 It lists Daniel W. COZZENS as the only child of the marriage of John C. COZZENS and Rachel J. DAVIS, and Rachel is listed as being born in Elizabeth, New Jersey. It cites Broderbund World Family Tree Volume 7, Pedigree #1914 as the source of the COZZENS information -- perhaps there is more information there about Gertrude HOFF COZZEN. Also -- BTW -- I do see that Gertrude is about 50 years younger than Abigail HOFF BRITTEN, Elizabeth HOFF MAINS, Mary HOFF CLARK, and Miriam HOFF ZUTPHEN, so Gertrude is almost certainly not their sibling. ;-) But it is possible that the sisters may be Gertrude's great-aunts, for example. I have not yet confirmed my HOFF sisters' parents nor any other siblings they may have had, and so my HOFF records are unfortunately not of any help at this point. However, I am now adding Gertrude to my list of people to look for and will let you know if I do happen to find anything more about her. I wish you the best of good luck in your searches.

I have a Jedediah Elwell who was the uncle of Parmelia Densten,wife to Levin Densten. In 1850 the census listed him as Dunstan. Jedediah left Parmelia a ferry and tavern at the mouth of the Woodbury Creek on the Delaware River . I think it was about 1825 or so. She died in 1835. I know Jedediah had a brother or nephew who lived in the Salem area as he was also left some property. I can't recall the name right now but do remember that it was definately not a commonly used name even for that time. I have a copy f the will if you have need of it. Levin is said to have come from VA along the eastern shore. Jedediah and Levin both had workers living with them during difffernet census takings who were born in VA. Permelia died after the birth of her third stillborn child. She and Levin had 3 children who lived into adulthood. Lavinia,Levin and John. I am descended through John. I don't know if Permelia was an Elwell or a Small as her cousin or sister is also listed in the will of Jedediah. I have not found Jedediah's burial place nor any further info about him. I hope I have sent enough info. Anything to further this part of my family research would be wonderful. Thank you for the offer.
