Good Morning Everyone - As always, feel free to pass this along. :-) The following was copied at the Gloucester County Historical Society on 1/26/1989. CARLL FAMILY NOTES (The following record is copied form the Year Book of the Church of the Advent, Cape May, N.J., issue of Summer 1931. This small booklet is now hard to find. Copied March 1959 by Edward J. Raser, exactly as printed in the Year Book. Some data appears to have come from a bible.) John Carll settled in East Hampton, L.I., and died intestate, October 1, 1691. His second wife was Remember, married after June 1683. Children: John, Abial born about 1672, died 1739, Salem County, N.J.; Recompense; Rachel, born after March 1719, married Edward SHAW; Mercy, born 1721, September 21st. Abial Carll, born about 1672, died 1739 at Greenwich Township, Salem Co., N.J., names of his two wives not known. Children: Abial, Jr., born about 1696, died after 1755, married about 1726 Mercy, daughter of Thomas and Mercy (STRATHAM) MASKELL; Eliakim, born about 1698, died before March 12th, 1759, married Elizabeth. Abial Carll, Jr., settled with his father in Salem County, N.J. Children of Abial Carll Jr., and Mercy: Mercy, born 19 April, 1728, died 2 December, 1787, married November 21, 1749, Salthiel FOSTER, born January 10, 1725, died May 22, 1792; Constantine Carll. Constantine Carll married first (name of wife not known), married second by license of December 15th, 1762, widow Sarah WHITE, daughter of William PEPPER. Children: Mehitable, married December 5, 1776, Barlow WILLIAMS; Sarah, born April 25th, 1755, died March 28th, 1781, married Noah HARRIS; Gilbert Tenant, born April 21st, 1764; Mary, born December 11th, 1770, died March 18th, 1843, married Aaron KENT, som of James and Susannah KENT; Constant, born January 16, 1777; Thomas Maskell, born June 15, 1780. Note: An abstract of the will of Constantine Carll, dated August 9, 1794, proved April 22, 1795, appears in NJA 37:67. My notes: GARLICK (widow of Richard SHAW Sr.) Remembers maiden name and her former spouse is handwritten by the lady who copied it, I included this because she sent my step father the documentation to prove it. It would appear that contrary to what most of us thought, Abial was born in the US, not Germany. Also, which is the correct spelling of his name? Abial? or Abiel? That's all for now, I may do another one later in the day since this one was so short. :-) Take care - Deb _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
