Hi Dave, I copied this from the NJ Archives Vol. 21, 1664-1703, p. 184: 1690-1 Jan. 31, Will of Isaac Whitehead of Elizabeth Town. Wife Mary. Having disposed of his lands by deeds of gift he appoints sons Isaac and Joseph with Nathaniel Bunnell executors. Witnesses John Harriman, John Woodruffe. Proved February 26 following. page 271 1691 feb. 27. Letters testimonial on the preceding will issued to the executors named. page 272 1689 Dec. 3. Deed. Isaac Whitehead senior to his son Joseph, for 7 acres betw. the road, Mr. Woodruff and Benj. Ogden; one half of the meadow on the Bay, adjoining Joseph Meeker and Mr. Lyons; one half of the land on the road to Newark, adjoining Mr. Wilson. p. 273 On page 185 I copied this: 1690-1 March 24. Do. Isaac Whitehead of Elizabeth Town, cordwainer, and wife Abigail, to Samuel Whitehead of Southampton, L.I., cordwainer, for 45 acres in the bounds of Elizabeth Town, S.E. Joseph Meeker, S. W. Henry Lyon, N.W. unsurveyed land, N.E. a road; also 8 acres of meadow there, S Mr. Woodruff, N. and E. unsurveyed meadows, W. a small creek. 1690-1 March 12. Will of John Warren of Elizabeth Town. Wife Grace, Mary, eldest dau. of Samuel Whitehead of Southampton... witnesses Isaac Whitehead... Another book gave the original source of Isaac Whitehead's will as EJD Lib D p. 271, 272. I did some checking and the wife Mary could not be the mother of Isaac Whitehead's children, so she's at least his second wife. The Do. means it's a deed. I think this must be for IW Jr. What the heck is a cordwainer? I see a lot of those guys...
