The Stockton Family of New Jersey

Notes for Richard Stockton:
Richard Stockton was born in England and came with his parents to Flushing, Long Island, New York before 1656. In 1690 Richard's father bought land in West Jersey and in 1694 he sold his property in Flushing.
Richard came with his parents to West Jersey, but settled first at Pisctaway, in Middlesex County. In August 1696 he bought 400 acres of land which included all of what now is the campus of Princeton University. In 1701 he bought from William Penn an estate of 6,000 acres on Stoney Brook, of which the present day city of Princeton is nearly the center.

Notes for RICHARD STOCKTON:
The following is quoted from "The Stockton Family of New Jersey and Other Stocktons", by Thomas Coates Stockton, M.D.,
published 1911.

Richard Stockton, of Flushing, Long Island, and afterward of Oneanickon, Springfield Township, Burlington County, New Jersey,
was a descendant of John Stockton, Esquire, of Kiddington, in the parish of Malpas and county of Chester, England. He arrived at
Flushing, from England, sometime prior to Nov. 8, 1656, when his name appears in a petition of some of the inhabitants of that
town requesting the release of William Wickenden, who had been fined and imprisoned for preaching without a license.

After the discovery of the North (Hudson) River by Hudson in 1609, the contiguous country was colonized by Holland and called
the Province of New Netherlands. King Charles II sent a fleet over from England to New Amsterdam (New York City), in
command of Colonel Richard Nicolls, to demand its surrender, and it was surrendered accordingly, in 1664, by Peter Stuyvesant,
the governor of the colony. King Charles executed a charter to his brother, James, Duke of York (afterward James lI) for this
land, and it was then called New York City in honor of the Duke of York. Colonel Nicolls, as governor of the colony, after the
conquest, commissioned Richard Stockton a Lieutenant of Horse; this was in 1665.

Transcript of record on page 26, volume 2, "Deeds" in the office of the Secretary of State of New York, and certified to by him:
RICHARD STOCKTON WAS COMMISSIONED LIEUTENANT OF HORSE OF FLUSHING, Apr. 22nd, 1665.

Transcript of order of Governor Francis Lovelace (who succeeded Governor Nicolls), given under his hand at Fort James, Colony
of New York, Apr. 9,1669, page 377, vol. 2, "Orders, Warrants and Letters," manuscript volume in custody of the regents of the
University of New York in the State Library, certified to by A.J.F. Van Lear, archivist: Whereas I intimated lately that I did
approve of Richard Stockton to be Lieutenant of the Company of Foot, but I am since informed he was before enlisted and
engaged in the Horse service, and I have thought fit to acquit him either as Officer or otherwise from the Foot service.

In 1675, his estate at Flushing consisted of twelve acres of land, one negro slave, five horses, five cows, and five swine; and in
1683 of ten acres of upland, the same slave, two horses, four oxen, seven cows, four swine and twenty sheep. This did not,
however, represent the full amount of his landed estate, as will by seen from the following proposal entered in an account book
kept by John Browne, of Flushing, who acted as his agent in the matter:

10 mo. (Dec.), 1690. Richard Stockton's proposal for (the sale of) all his housing, lands and conveniences belonging thereunto,
being about seventy acres or more at home and two ten acre lotts and two twenty acre lotts at a mile or two distance, with so
much medow as may yield 20 or 25 loads of hay a year; Price 300 pounds.

In 1685 Richard Stockton was one of the freeholders of Flushing, as appears by a deed made in that year confirming the old Dutch
patent of 1645. He must have been in easy circumstances at that time because on the 30th day of January, 1690, (old stylo), he
purchased of George Hutchinson his house and plantation, called Onewnickon, or Annanicken, as it was first called, in West
Jersey, consisting of about two thousand acres, although he did not succeed in disposing of his property at Flushing until March 12,
1694, when-----

In Consideration of three hundred pounds, good and lawful money of the Province of New York, Richard Stockton, formerly of
Flushing, with the consent of his wife, Abigail, conveyed to John Rodman, his messuages or tenements, situate, lyving and being by
coast on the bay, commonly called Mattagareson Bay, within the bounds of Flushing, being about eighty acres of land more or less;
wth all ye Privileges and appurtenances thereto belonging, as also a piece of Salt medow commonly called ye Lumkill, which was
belonging to Richard Stockton by virtue of his interest in the s'd towne of Flushing.

It is stated by Mr. J.W. Stockton, in his History of the Stockton Family, that the tract of land purchased by Richard Stockton in
West Jersey was originally known by the Indian name of An-na-nicken; that it was over two miles in length and one in width; and
that the mansion house of the late James Shreve is on the site of the house built and occupied by Mr. Stockton until his death.

Richard Stockton was a member of the Society of Friends (or Quakers), having become one, without doubt, after the date of his
commission as a lieutenant of Horse, since he certainly could not serve in that capacity, and was not very likely to be appointed,
while a Quaker. (Richard converted to Quaker in Flushing NY)

The given name of Richard Stockton's wife was Abigail, but her family name has not been learned. They were married in England
and their eldest son, Richard Stockton, 2nd, is said to have been born there. Richard Stockton died at an advanced age at his home
at Annanicken, in September, 1707. His will was dated January 25, 1705-6, and proved 8th month (October), 10, 1707. A copy of
it is given below. The date of Mrs. Stockton's death is not known, but she was living as late as April 14, 1714, when she conveyed
some property to her sons, John and Job Stockton.

WILL OF RICHARD STOCKTON

I, Richard Stockton, being sick and weak of body but sound of memory, do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament in manner and forme following:

First , I bequeath my soule into the hands of Almighty God and my body to be buried at the discretion of my executors hereafter named, in hopes through the merrits of Jesus Christ to obtail a joyfull resurrection.

Item, I give to my son Job my plantation and all the improvements with four hundred ackers of land to him and to his heires and assignes forever, not to possess it till the decease of my wife; only in consideration of the said improvements my said son Job shall pay to Abigail the daughter of my son (son in law) Richard Ridgway the sum of ten pounds within a year after he enjoys the said
plantation, and if uppon a survey of the whole twelve hundred ackers there happen to be any overplus, my will is that my son John shall have one-third part thereof joyning on his four hundred ackers which I formerly gave him, and the other two-thirds to be equally parted between my said sons Richard and Job.

Item, I give to my dear wife Abigail all my personall estate with the use of my plantation during her life, and after her decease the said personall estate to be equally divided between my five daughters, Abigail, Mary, Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth; and I do make and Constitute my said wife Abigail my sole Executrix of this my last will and testament, revokeing all other wills and testaments heretofore made, as witness my hand and seale this 25th day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand and seven hundred and five.

Richard (his R mark) Stockton.

Signed, sealed, published and declared in the presence of us.

William Earle (WE) his mark,
Thomas Ridgeway (T) his mark,
Daniel Leeds.
Burlington, 10th, 8 mo., 1707

Then appeared before Richard Inglesby, Esqr., Lieutenant Governor of her Majesties Provinces of New Jersey, New York, &c., Daniel Leeds, Esqr., one of the witnesses to the within written will, and made his oath on the Holy Evangelists of Almight God that he saw the Testator sign, seal, and publist the within instrument to be his last will and testament, and that at the time of the publishing thereof he was of sound and perfect understanding and memory to the best of this deponent's knowledge and beliefe,
and that at the same time he saw Thomas Ridgeway and Wm. Earle sign the same as witness thereto in the presence of the
Testator.

Richard Inglesby

The reason Richard's signature was by his mark was, of course, because of his advanced age and feebleness. He was in full possession of his mind, but weak. His son Richard died, at an advanced age, two years later, in 1709.

Ancestry of the children of Robert Croll Stevens and Jane Eleanor
(Knauss) Stevens, Vol V., 1991, p. 94.1: b, d, and info. He arrived at
Flushing from England, together with his wife, and at least their eldest
son, Richard, prior to 8 Nov 1656. On that date his name appears on a
petition.

Stockton Family History, p.1: ["Born in or near London, he emigrated to
Ma Bay Coloy probably in 1635 and spent several years in Boston or
Charlestown, being in the latter place as late as 1640.(?? it is
possible to be the same as the one in Flushing who has kids in 1680??)]
He next appears at Flushing, L.I., where he is named as one of the
original patentees of that town, and in virtue of which, all direct male
descendants are eligible to the Holland Land Society of New York")
Between 1685 and 30 Jan 1690, Richard and his family moved to Oneanickon
(Annanicken), Springfield Twp., Burlington Co., NJ. Richard died at an
advanced age at his home at Annanicken in September 1707. His will was
dated 25 Jan 1705/6 and proved 8th month (Oct), 10, 1707. At Flushing on
22 Apr 1665, Col. Nicolls (Nichols), as governor of NY, commissioned
Richard Stockton a Lieutenant of Horse. On 9 Apr 1669, the then governor
of NY, Francis Lovelace, gave uner this hand: "Whereas I intimated
lately that I did approve of Richard Stockton to be Lt. of the Company
of Foot, but I am since informed he was before enlisted and engaged in
the Horse service, and I have thought fit to acquit him either as
Officer or ottherwise from the Foot service." He must have been
well-to-do as he purchased 30 Jan 1690 2000 acres of hand in Oneanickon.
He was a member of the Society of Friends, but must have joined after he
left his service as a Lt of Horse, as he probably would not have held
that position as a Quaker. His will named his wife Abigail as sole
executrix and gave her life use of all the real and personal property.
After her death, the personal property was to be equally divided among
his five daughters.

Her father (born at Lloydsville, Ohio, April 20, 1842; died at Cambridge, Ohio, July 19, 1920) was a son of Isaac Haines
(born 1819; married, 1841; died, October 29, 1906) and Margaret Gregg (born, 1821), a descendant of a long line of
Quaker pioneers, prominent in the early history of New Jersey, Virginia and Ohio, and traced his ancestry to Richard and
Margaret Haines of Aynhoe of ye Hill, Northamptonshire, England. Because of the civil and religious disabilities imposed
upon the Society of Friends in England, Richard Haines sailed for America, with his wife and children, in 1682, but died on
the voyage. His son, William Haines (1672-1754), settled, with his brothers, in Northampton Township, Burlington County,
New Jersey, where, in 1695, he married Sarah Paine, daughter of John Paine. Their son, Nathaniel, born in the pioneer
home in 1706, married, in 1739, Mary Hervey, daughter of John Hervey, at the Burlington Meeting in accordance with the
Quaker custom. John Haines, their son (born 1740; died July 20, 1790), married Rachel Austin, in 1768, and served during
the War of the Revolution in Captain Mitchell's Company, First New Jersey Regiment. John Haines' son, Nathaniel
(1784-1844), married Rachel Engle, in Ohio, in 1807, and became the father of Isaac Haines and the grandfather of Lewis
Gregg Haines. The Engles, Austins, and Herveys were all prominent early Quaker settlers in Burlington County, New
Jersey, and many of their descendants emigrated to Ohio. There are now (1923) members of the tenth generation of the
Engle line still residing in New Jersey. Rachel Engle's father, Abraham Engle, married Patience Gaskell at the Evesham
Meeting in 1765. His parents were Robert Engle and Rachel Venicombe (sometimes spelled Vinicum); his mother having
been a daughter of William Venicombe and Sarah Stockton (widow of Benjamin Jones), who were married at the
Burlingham Monthly Meeting, in 1706-1707. Sarah Stockton was a daughter of Lieutenant Richard Stockton, a native of
England, who settled first at Flushing, Long Island, where he was a lieutenant of a horse company in 1665, and of a foot
company in 1669. In 1690 he removed to Omeahickon, Springfield Township, New Jersey, where he died in 1705. From
him descended Richard Stockton, the signer of the Declaration of Independence.
