Does anyone have information on Matthias Goble who resided in Siussex (Deckertown) about 1800. I am interested in his children since I just found out that my ancestor Kelley Westbrook of Johnsonsburg and Yellow Frame was his grandson and I have not been able to get Kelley's parents names.

The wife of Matthias Goble was Rachel Roy born 17 Dec 1739 Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey and removed as a child with her parents John Roy and Margaret Insely (Inslee, Ensley, etc.) to Basking Ridge, Somerset County, New Jersey where she made her acquaintenance with Matthias. Below is the information on Matthias and Rachel from my Roy file. Rachel Roy b. 17 Dec 1739 m. Matthias Goble b. 5 June 1736 Morristown, New Jersey eight child of Robert Goble and wife Mary. He is related to have served in the American Revolution. Matthias Goble and Joseph Roy were pew holders of no. 27 in the Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church 1769 to 1776. Matthias was issued certificate no. 1386 of $36 on 15 Sept 1781 by Thomas Anderson, Quartermaster of Sussex County, New Jersey for nine days service with a four horse team during the American Revolution, indicating the family was perhaps residing in Sussex County at that time. Matthias was still holding pew no. 28 in 1783 to 1786. Matthias and Rachel Goble removed to Wantage Township, Sussex County, New Jersey. Rachel's name appears on the 4 Jan 1795 membership list of the First Baptist Church of Wantage and again in 1797. Will of Matthias Goble of Wantage dated 16 Jan 1816. Children named; John Goble being eldest son, Amos Goble, Nathan Goble, heirs of Hannah Sayres wife of Jonas Sayres, Mary Pentlar wife of John Pentlar, and heirs of Margaret Westbrook wife of John Westbrook. Executors, son Nathan Goble and friend Jesse Gustin of Frankford township. Witnessed by Sarah Gustin, John Dennis, and Daniel Everitt. Proved 19 Aug 1818 and inventory filed 20 Nov 1818. Matthias Goble d. 1818 sometime before 19 Aug. Rachel Goble was living 4 Dec 1810 when her name appears on a deed. She was evidently deceased before 16 Jan 1816 as she is not named in her husband's Will. No markers known to exist. The order of birth for the children below is uncertain. John Goble b. c. 1764.
