Notes


Elizabeth BOLIN

Have also seen her last name as Bolling with a lot of Bolling ancestry.  I tend to believe that her name was Bolin, evidenced by her daughter named Susanna BOLIN Williams, and Susanna's use of the name BOLIN in two of her children's names (e.g. William Bolin Savage and Martha Bolin Savage).

The Browne family England orginally spelled the name Browne but in coming to America and joining the Society of Friends dropped the "e" for simplicity and have since written the name as Brown.

James Brown, as he came to spell the name, was born in the parish of Sywell, Northamptonshire, England, March 27, 1656 and died at Nottingham, Pennsylvania in 1716.

James Brown came to America in the ship "Kent" which arrived from London August 16, 1677, at New Castle on the Delaware. He settled first at Burlington, New Jersey, but remained only a short time there removing to Chichester of Marcus Hook in 1678. He obtained a patent, dated Dec 20, 1683 for 115 acres of land on the Chichester Creek, which he named "Podington" undoubtedly for his old home "Puddington" in England. With his brother, William he purchased nine hundred acres of the land William Penn granted to the Friends (Quakers) in Nottingham and they became known as the Browns of Nottingham and from these early ancestors are descended many well known men. In 1681 there were but eleven heads of Quaker families in the country before the arrival of William Penn, and among them was James Brown.

James Brown married at the Burlington Meetinghouse June 8, 1679 Honour Clayton, daughter of Hon. William Clayton. They had six children; James, William, Jeremiah, Margery, Daniel and Mary.

William CLAYTON JR

William CLAYTON was baptized 9 Dec 1632 Boxgrove, Sussex, England. He married 7 Nov 1653 Pancras Parish, Chichester, Sussex, England to Prudence LANCKFORD, the daughter of William LANCKFORD of Broughton Parish, Hampshire, England. Early adherents to the teachings of George Fox, William and Prudence became members of the Society of Friends. On 7th day 12th month 1663 William was committed to jail in Sussex and fined 6 pounds for meeting with other Quakers. Having refused to pay his fines, William was jailed for six months in the House of Correction in the town of Arundel.

William Clayton and his family came to America about 1677 but the exact date of their arrival is uncertain. There was a William Clayton who arrived in 1677 in New Jersey on the ship "Kent" reportedly from London in the company of certain commissioners sent by the proprietors of New Jersey to purchase land from the Indians. This may have been another William Clayton who has been mistaken for our William Clayton by Hepburn and others over the years. On 6th day 8th month 1678, William Clayton Sr., William Clayton Jr. and Prudence Clayton were witnesses to the first marriage recorded at Burlington Monthly Meeting, Society of Friends, West Jersey. In March 1679 William Clayton purchased the share of Hans Oelson, one of the original grantees of Marcus Hook and settled at that place. Their daughter Honour Clayton married 6th month1679 at "Markers Hook" under the care of Burlington Monthly Meeting.

The family moved within the next decade to Chester Co., PA where William's estate was administered 1st day 8th month 1689.

WILL OF WILLIAM CLAYTON, of the parish of St. Pancras, Chichester, Sussex, England, 1 Feb 1658/9.

Consistory Court Will Register 1653-1668 in Chichester Miscellaneous Wills 1653-1668, vol. 218, Ref. ST61/218 at the West Sussex Record Office, Chichester, Sussex. Copied and transcribed by Marilyn London Winton, 1984.

Other children of William Clayton and Joan Smith (besides our ancestor):

(2) Joan CLAYTON baptized 23 Aug 1635 Boxgrove, Sussex, England. She was buried 20 July 1644 a short time after her mother's death.

(3) Elizabeth CLAYTON baptized 11 Feb 1637 Boxgrove, Sussex, England.

(4) Richard CLAYTON baptized 13 Sept 1640 Boxgrove, Sussex, England. He is said to have married 29 Jan 1657 Rudgwick, Sussex, England to Joan KNIGHT.

(5) Thomas CLAYTON baptized 26 Feb 1642 Boxgrove, Sussex, England. A minor in 1659 when his father's will was made.

The child of William Clayton and Elizabeth Simmons was:

(6) Mary CLAYTON, a minor in 1659.

Louis E. Jones, in 1982, went to England and uncovered the will of a William Clayton dated ca.1658 in Chichester [England] Miscellaneous Wills 1653-1658, Vol. 21B, p. 59, Consistory Court Will Register in the West Sussex Record Office, Chichester. I have a copy of this will which is extremely difficult to decipher, but I am able to determine that this William identifies himself as a timberman residing in the Parish of Pancras without the East Gate of Chichester, Sussex. It lists his sons William, Richard (not yet 21 years of age), Thomas (not yet 21 years of age); daughter Elizabeth and youngest daughter Mary; and *grandchildren William and Prudence Clayton, children of his son William.

This William married 30 Oct 1631 Boxgrove Parish to Joan SMITH who was buried 27 Apr 1644. Their children baptized at Boxgrove, Sussex were: William 9 Dec 1632 (our William); Elizabeth 11 Feb 1637; Richard 13 Sep 1640; and Thomas 26 Feb 1642. Daughter Mary is from a second marriage after 1644 to Elizabeth SIMMONS whose death was recorded 6 Oct 1660 in the Lewes & Chichester Monthly Meeting records.

William Clayton (our William), son of William & Joan Smith, married 7 Nov 1653 St. Pancras Parish, Chichester to Prudence Lanckford of St. Peters the Less, daughter of William Lanckford of Broughton Parish, Hampshire. This marriage was copied again by Louis E. Jones in 1982 from the St. Pancras Parish, Chichester, Sussex Parish Register Calendar by V. London, 1945.

This new information was published, oddly enough, by Bellarts in the Quaker Yeoman in Jan. 1985. Long after I decided not to subscribe to it any longer. I do have a photocopy of that issue and I'd have to say that Bellarts much to my dismay continued to hang on to the hope that at least some of the material he previously published might be true!

Apparently there is a will for a Thomas Clayton dated 10 Sep 1630 and proved 28 Apr 1631 (Consistory Court of Chichester) which names a wife Margaret, sons Walter, William, Mathew, Richard and Thomas, daughters Mary wife of Richard Martin and Elizabeth. Bellarts felt this might be the grandfather of our William which is definitely a possibility but I haven't added him to my tree yet without seeing some supportive evidence. Bellarts took it one more step and speculated that this Thomas was POSSIBLY the son of a John b. ca. 1530 who was the son of a Thomas born ca 1500 who made his will in Rudgwick parish 4 Jul 1557.

Bellarts does say that the will of William circa 1658 proves conclusively that William of Chichester was not the "son of a London lawyer" but never admits that he led us up the wrong tree! AND he goes right on to say that Thomas Clayton MAY have been the grandson of Thomas De Clayton b. ca. 1440, eldest son of John de Clayton & Mary Mainwaring who was disinherited by his parents and it is likely having been disinherited Thomas would have left Lancashire perhaps settling in London or Sussex, a days journey south of London at that time...and he goes on! Nice effort on his part to salvage some useless data but I personally think he was incorporating more wishful thinking than hard evidence.

Isaac STRATTON

Issac's first wife was Ann, but we don't know her last name.  All of his children were with Ann.  We also don't know when Ann died, but he married the widow Mary Prickett on 4 Mar 1778.  Mary survived him and lived until 1795.  

Little is known of Isaac Stratton.  His name is not found on the Friends records (Quakers).  His name appears in the list of men who enlisted in the French and Indian War, in Captain Enoch Hunt's Company, Col. Samuel Hunt's Reg.  This company was raised in the Province of New Jersery.  Isaac enlisted on 8 May 1761 and served one year.  

In his will he is styled "Isaac Stratton Sr. of the township of Evesham.  By this will, the six sons are to have five shillings each; daughter Elizabeth 5 lbs, and a silver tankard, while the residue of his estate goes to his wife, Mary.  The original will is in the office of the Secretary of the State at Trenton, NJ.  It is dated 13 Jun 1781.
*Source of above notes:  Swanee@amaonline.com

Source of birthdates for Isaac's children:
Early Church Records of Burlington, NJ, Vols 1-3, by Charlotte Meldrum, Page 132, Evesham, Vol 2. (found on the internet)

There seems to be some confusion on the children.  His will lists 6 sons, the records of Charlotte Meldrum (above sited source) only list 4 sons.  Am checking to see if the will lists the names of the sons, or only the number of sons.  
Per Swanee, the children are:
Abrahan
Isaac
Thomas
John
Sanders
Benjamin
Elizabeth
This accounts for the 6 sons and daughter Elizabeth named in the will.
Per Charlotte Meldrum the children are:
Abraham
Isaac
Thomas
John Sanders
Elizabeth.
This is the only reference seen to date that reflects "John Sanders" as one person instead of 2 people, John and Sanders.  Until further research,  I'm listing the 6 sons as a research note for myself.

Timothy HANCOCK

"In 1682, there came from Brayles, a small town in the southern part of Warwickshire, a young man named Timothy Hancock, accompanied by his sister, who was about fifteen yers of age.....She was married to the subject of this sketch (William Matlack) the next year. They then removed to a tract of land which he had located between the north and south branch of Penisaukin creek in Chester township, Burlington County. Her brother also located a survey adjoining, and, in 1684, married Rachel Firman......The children of the first settlers (William and Mary)....George, who married Mary Foster and Mary Hancock...."
*Source:  "Sketches of the First Emigrant Settlers in Newton Township, Old Gloucester County, West New Jersey by John Clement of Haddonfield, N.J.", originally published in 1877.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In 1681 the ship "Paradise" brought a body of colonists, among whom were Timothy Hancock and his sister Mary, from Warwickshire.

Mary married William Matlock, who came in the "Kent." Timothy settled on a tract of 100 acres of land in Burlington County, between the forks of the Pensauken Creek, about two miles from the present town of Moorestown. In 1682, in connection with William Matlock and John Roberts, he bought a piece of land of the Indian chief Tallaca, the original deed to which is still preserved by a descendant of Wm. Matlock:

Know all people that I tallaca have had and Received of & from John Roberts with the consent of the neighborhood at pimsawquin one match coate one Little Runlit of Rum and two bottles of Rum In Consideration whearof I the said taleca doe hearby grant Bargin & sell unto the said John Roberts timothy Hancock and William Matlock all those plantations at pimsawquin promising for Ever to defend the said John Roberts &c from all other Indians Laying any Claime theareto in wittness whearof I the said talleca have hear unto set my hand and seale the twelveth day of April 1684.
"the mark of Z talleca."

Timothy was a young man when he came to New Jersey. Three years later,--November 16, 1684,--he married Rachel Firman, in Evesham monthly meeting. Rachel died before 1690 and Timothy married Susannah Ives.  He was a prominent man in the colony.

The first "Friends meeting" was held at his house and the monthly meetings continued to be held there on alternate "First Days" for several years.  The first burial ground for the community was on his land.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Footnotes on the above from pp. 238-239

No record has been found showing the date of Rachel's death, nor that of Timothy's marriage to Susannah, but the following from the public records as published in Vol. XXI, N. J. Archives, page 479, goes to prove that both occurred prior to May 1, 1690:

"1690, 1st d., 3rd mo.  Deed:  Daniel Mills of Northampton River, Burlington Co., Yeoman to Timothy Hancock on Cropwell Creeek said Co., and wife Susannah, formery Susannah Ives, for 80 acres to be taken up in West Jersey."

And from the same source is a mention of a deed given in 1690, by Walter Humphries of County of Gloucester, England, by his son and attorney, Joshua Humphries, "to Timothy Hancock and his daughter Elizabeth by his former wife Rachel Firman."  Several published works claim that Ann, daughter of Timothy Hancock (wife of Mark Stratton), ws the daughter of his first wife.  The above proves that this is not true, as Ann Hancock was born August 11, 1691.
