You will enjoy this from p. 724 >>>of George Reeser rowell's History of Camden County NJ 1886... >>> >>> Richard Heritage was one of the proprietors of the town of Gloucester >>>when it was laid out, in 1686. He owned lots in the original town, and >>>was one of the signers of the memorandum made by the proprietors as to >>>the division of lots. He was the first who bore the name in West >>>Jersey, and came from Warwickshire, England. He purchased rights of >>>Edward Byllinge and his trustees in 1684, and made a location of land on >>>the north side of Pensaukin Creek, in Burlington County, and called the >>>place "Hatten New Garden." He purchased other rights and located other >>>lands in this township. He died in 1702, without a will, and most of >>>his land passed to his heir-at-law, his eldest son, John. In 1705 he >>>sold to William Matlack one thousand acres of land in Waterford >>>township. John married Sarah Slocum in 1706. To his son Joseph he >>>conveyed considerable land. Much of this land he sold. It lay on both >>>sides of the creek and now embraces several valuable farms. Samuel >>>Burrough purchased a art of this tract in 1698. Joseph Heritage died >>>in 1756, leaving six children.--Richard, who married Sarah Whitall and >>>Sarah Tindall; Joseph, who married Ruth Haines; Benjamin, who married >>>Keziah matlack; John, who married Sarah Hugg; mary, who married John >>>Gill and John Thorne; and Hannah, who married Mr. Rogers. >>> It was from Joseph Heritage and his children that many of the early >>>settlers purchased land, and, although the family apears to have been >>>a large one, yet the name is now unknown among the residents of the >>>township, although some remain within the present limits of Waterford >>>township and still hold a small portion of the land. >>> >>> >>> >>>A couple of notes here, folks... First, the two paragraphs above are >>>from the chapter entitled "THE TOWNSHSIP OF DELAWARE." >>> >>>Second, it seems likely to me that Richard was not the son of Joseph, >>>but of John. It was John who was the father of Joseph, according to >>>this article. What are your comments on this? >>> >>>Vince >>> >> >> >
