Ann Grant was married to Samuel Hedge, IV, when her father died 1726/7 (NJA 23: 192; SCGD 1: 91, 95, 112). Her Hedge children were born 1726 (Samuel) and 1728 (Rebecca, who married Thomas Thompson), and her Gibbon children were born 1732, 1735, and 1738. Therefore, she married Samuel Hedge, IV, before she married Nicholas Gibbon on May 16, 1731 (NJA 23: 221 [explains all]; Shourds 105-107, 442; Cook, "Fenwick" 115).

Benjamin Acton arrived on the Lyon from Liverpool in mid-October 1683. He was bound to Robert Turner of Dublin for 4 years, after which he was to have £3 and 50 acres (Balderston 98, note 87; Roach 164 [port registry]). Balderston claims that Acton first registered as a landowner in Salem in 1688, but records indicate he owned Salem property by July 2,1685, although he probably purchased the property as an investment since he resold it promptly (NJA 21: 581, 594). Others list the date as March 2, 1685/6 (Gardner, "Part 1" 59; "Colonial Conveyances" 1).

The original update claimed that Ann Nicholson's uncle was John Mason, not James. Her uncle, however, appears to be Samuel Mason who married Elizabeth Hill, her mother's sister. Samuel Mason's father is John, and his brother is John, Jr. In the former sense of uncle meaning step-father, it also fails. John Mason married Ann Nicholson's grandfather-in-law, hardly making him an uncle in this sense either (GJB; Cook, "Amwellbury" 161-168). If this is Ann of John of Samuel, then James is correct. Re-check.

The former update claimed that Hill Smith must have married Eliza Braun since John Smith married Jane Thompson. Hill's son was Israel B. Smith (Shourds 291). A peek in the Salem County Surrogate's Office, Land Divisions Book B-299 reveals that Hill Smith's sons were Israel B. Smith and John Smith. According to Hinshaw, Hill Smith married Ann Nicholson; they were both disowned for being married contrary to discipline on September 30, 1776 (2: 89). Meldrum cites Hill's wife as Ann and indicates their reinstatement (38, 123, 131). Eliza Braun (Elizabeth Brown) married Darkin Nicholson, Sr., in 1789 (Hinshaw 2: 89).

Apparently, John Acton had two children by his first wife, although her name is unknown. His daughter, Barbara Acton, who married Ephraim Carll, is buried in Lower Alloways Creek Township. Her gravestone reads 1768-1821. Since John Acton did not marry Mary Oakford until 1772, and she was known as "Oakford" in 1771 (Hinshaw 2: 90), Barbara was the daughter of John and his first wife.

Their children were John; Hannah, born August 7, 1686; Mary, born February 27, 1688/9; and Sarah, born September 15, 1691 ("Some of the First" 60; SCGD 1: 49; NJA 23: 107-108; Shourds 394). Mary Bradway Cooper married second William Kenton by March of 1693/4 and third Hugh Middleton in 1694 (NJA 23: 55-56, 318; Triol np). Edward and Mary Bradway's daughter Sarah is ignored by Shourds. She became the wife of William Hall, the carpenter (NJA 23: 55-56).

In 1687 William Bradway married Elizabeth Wood, a widow. Their daughter Sarah married Mr. Wright (SCGD 1: 285; 1^st Cong 1: 196-197; Hinshaw 2: 56). *****Recheck for this supposed daughter. NJA 23: 55 is unclear.

The original update claimed that in 1691 William Bradway married Elizabeth White, daughter of Christopher White, and they had five children. Apparently the First Congressional District account (1: 197; 2: 372) and Heston (5: 393) are essentially copied from Shourds. In addition, the First Congressional District account lists no date and claims three children (GJB). According to Quaker records, Christopher White, the progenitor of the Salem County Whites, had no daughter Elizabeth. Christopher White, the younger, was born in 1699 (Hinshaw 2: 45-46), so he had no children in 1691. Also, Hinshaw lists as children of William Bradway and Elizabeth Wood: Sarah, born in 1690 and omitted by Shourds; Edward, born in 1692; William, born in 1695; Jonathan, born in 1698/99; and Elizabeth, born in 1701 (2: 23). Cook's account of the White family ("Bettle" 74-75) omits mention of an Elizabeth White, citing Christopher White's will (NJA 23: 503) and birth information.

Aaron Bradway married second Grace Thompson in 1756, and Aaron, Jr., was born in 1757 (Craig SCGD 1: 29, 256: Hinshaw 2: 23, 105; Thompson 22; 1^st Cong 1: 200-201).

Aaron Bradway married third Sarah Hill Smith Rolfe in January 1759. (The 1977 update listed 1756.) Their children were Sarah, born on January 26, 1760, who married Jonathan Waddington in 1778; Edward, born on August 7, 1761; Thomas, born on March 23, 1764, who married Isabelle Dunlap; and his twin Hannah, who married David Bradway (NJA 33: 362; NJA 35: 56; NJA 40: 44; Cook, "Amwelbury" 164-165; SCGD 1: 29, 211, 271: Hinshaw 2: 22, 57; Shourds 185).

"His" third wife refers to Waddington Bradway, the son of Edward and Elizabeth Waddington Bradway (GJB).

Shourds' general account of the Waddingtons seems to lack one generation. Jonathan² died in 1748 and Jonathan³ was born in 1757. There should be a William "Wodington" to fill in the two generations. He married Elizabeth Hancock and produced Jonathan³ and Robert. Robert's name derived from William's uncle and passed to a son of Jonathan³ (NJA 32: 343, 364). There may have been more sons of the pioneer, William Waddington. In the will of Mary Savage of Mannington in 1725/6, she refers to her "son Joseph Waddington, underage," who is not accounted for elsewhere (NJA 23: 403).

<

Jonathan Waddington and his wife Joan Tyler, daughter of William Tyler and brother of Philip Tyler, had a son Jonathan Waddington who married Mary Anne and had a son William and the daughters Hannah, Jane, Mary, and Elizabeth. Mary Anne remarried a Hancock (NJA 23: 474; NJA 30: 491; NJA 30: 508; NJA 34: 223; Shourds 275).

Shourds on page 347 indicates that Maurice Beesley, rather than Walker Beesley, married the eldest daughter Hannah Waddington; however, Hannah Waddington married Nathaniel Hancock and her sister Mary married Maurice (or Morris) Beesley (NJA 34: 223).

Jane Waddington married Bradway Keasbey, rather than Edward Keasbey, Jr. The marriage was in 1763 (NJA 34: 283; NJA 35: 230; SCGD 1: 139).

The third generation's Jonathan Waddington died in 1816. It was William Waddington who died in 1760. His sons Robert and Jonathan were both alive at the time, so there were at least two bearing the Waddington name at the time of his death (NJA 32:364). William's uncle Isaac probably died before this time since he was not mentioned in his brother (William's uncle) Robert's will, proved July 1759 (NJA 32: 344).

The original update told us that the father of Jesse and Phineas Carll was Eliakim Carll, not Ephraim (SCGD 1: 39; NJA 32: 52). But the problem is much broader than that. Shourds, notorious for omitting a generation, seems to have omitted at least two generations here. The original Carlls came to East Hampton, Long Island. The progenitor, John Carll, had sons John and Abiel and daughters Recompense, Mercy, and Rachel (Sakiewicz). The family moved to Greenwich, Salem (now Cumberland) County, NJ, earlier than Shourds' 1720 date or Sakiewicz's 1722, since two John Carlls registered Salem County earmarks in 1715 (Pettit 82). John, Jr.'s brother Abiel registered in 1723 (Pettit 83). Rachel married Edmund Shaw, Jr., grandson of Obadiah Holmes, Jr. They produced Edmund, Nathan, Richard, Carll, Joshua, and Hezekiah Shaw, and four daughters (NJA 23: 413). Abiel Carll fathered Abiel, Hannah, Martha, Eliakim, Rachel, and John (Sakiewicz). Abiel appears in Grand Juries from 1722-1735 (SCGD 2: 146-163). Eliakim is the one referred to as the father of Jesse and Phineas Carll. Contrary to some information in print, no "Elicum Carroll" arrived about the same time as the pioneer's third son or nephew since he registered his earmark much later than the first wave of Carlls-in 1738 (Pettit 83). His earmark registration was offered as evidence. He appears in Grand Jury records in 1736 and 1745 (SCGD 2: 166, 184), and his son Phineas appears in 1766 (SCGD 2: 204), which is consistent with arriving in the next generation. On the other hand, a Bible record claims that Ephraim Carll married Mary Ann Smith and had a son Jesse in 1829, but no Phineas is listed (SCBR 1: 104). Although it is difficult to find an account constructed independently from Shourds' narrative, the information is the best I can draw from pieces in the Carll file in the Cumberland County Historic Society, Salem County Historical Society, and other listed sources (GJB).

Apparently, John Acton had two children by his first wife, although her name is unknown. His daughter, Barbara Acton, who married Ephraim Carll, is buried in Lower Alloways Creek Township. Her gravestone reads 1768-1821. Since John Acton did not marry Mary Oakford until 1772, and she was known as "Oakford" in 1771 (Hinshaw 2: 90), Barbara was the daughter of John and his first wife.

The former correction claimed that Benjamin Acton arrived on the Kent in 1677, not 1690 (Shourds 18; SCGD 1: 299). That corrects the arrival time of the Kent, but not of Benjamin Acton. These sources, as well as Cushing and Sheppard, seem to be in error. Benjamin Acton arrived on the Lyon from Liverpool in mid-October 1683. He was bound to Robert Turner of Dublin for 4 years, after which he was to have £3 and 50 acres (Balderston 98, note 87; Roach 164 [port registry]). Balderston claims that Acton first registered as a landowner in Salem in 1688, but records indicate he owned Salem property-although probably an investment property since he resold it promptly-by July 2,1685 (NJA 21: 581, 594).

Jedediah Allen was the son of David Allen and his second wife. Jedediah married January 26, 1740/1, Mary Chambless (NJA 22: 85ü ), who was born in 1719. Their children were: David born in 1742 (Hinshaw 2: 20ü ), Elisha born in 1744, and Chambless born in 1746. Jedediah Allen, Jr. (1739) was the progeny of the first wife, Elizabeth Corlies, who died in 1740 (Chandler and Van Name P ).

Benjamin Robinson was born in Lower Penns Neck May 28, 1787 and died in Indiana on May 27, 1877. One source says he married Rebecca Smith first and Ann Finley second. Reeves says he married Margaret first and Ann Finley second (138). According to Harris on page 11, however, he married first Rebecca Smith on April 4, 1810, and she died January 31, 1814, and bore him George and Orpha/Affea. Second, he married Margaret Lloyd on September 1, 1818. She bore him Rebecca (April 5, 1819) and Benjamin, Jr. (May 18, 1821). Third he married Ann Finley August 9, 1823. She bore Margaret Jane (1824 in Salem), Martin (1826 in Salem), Anna (1828 in Indiana as were the rest), Elizabeth (1831), Emma Jane (November 14, 1835), Abigail (1838), and William (1840).

Rebecca was buried in the Quihawken Cemetery in Pennsville at the age of 37 (Harris 7-8; Reeves 131). Second, he married Rachel Pedrick on May 22, 1828, and third he married Ann Pedrick on March 5, 1834. Instead a total of six children as Shourds lists, Harris finds eight for the first wife, two for the second, and seven for the third (7-8). That's seventeen children in all.

Obadiah Holmes, Sr. was born about 1607 in Reddish, Lancashire, England. He arrived at Salem, Massachusetts, in 1638. He was already married to Catherine Hyde before his arrival since the couple's first son died in 1633 and was buried in Stockport Cemetery in England. After migrating to Rehobeth, Massachusetts, and then Middletown, near Newport, Rhode Island, Holmes was arrested by the Puritans on a visit to Lynn, Massachusetts, on July 6, 1651 (Bingham, "Trials" 702-703; Stillwell 3: 304-305; Gaustad 9-27 for a detailed and eloquent account).

Hinshaw records the Friends marriage of Samuel Nicholson to Hannah Abbott in 1763. This Hannah is not confused with Hannah Hall because the latter was born in 1763. The mother's will, however, states that the daughter Hannah was married to Samuel Nicholson (NJA 40: 150). Didn't I find this in Clerk's Office?

A John Mason of Berkshire arrived in Philadelphia in 1682, but died shortly after arrival. His will administration is the first in the Philadelphia record books. He had three sons: John, Robert, and Richard (Balderston 51). It is not clear if this is the Mason line Shourds refers to or not. Cook's early account of John Mason differs substantially from Shourds ("Amwelbury" 166-167).

The marriage to Sarah Smith was the second for John Mason. He first married Ann Thompson, daughter of John and Jane Thompson, in 1693. Ann died, however, before her father's will was written in 1715 (NJA 23: 459; Cook, "Amwelbury" 166) and before John Mason's marriage to Sarah Smith in 1696. She was the widow of John Smith of Amwelbury (Cook, "Amwelbury" 166-167). In 1716, John Mason married a third time, Jael, the daughter of Richard Battey and the widow, respectively, of Rudro Morris and John Lewis (Cook, "Amwelbury" 167).

Rudro Morris' will was proved September 21, 1704 (NJA 23: 329). Ruthro, Rutheroe, Rudderow, and other forms appear for this name. I can't see that one is more appropriate than the other (GJB).

The earlier correction claimed that Jael Morris married John Lewis in 1706 and John Mason in 1716, so it must have been Jane Morris, widow of David Morris, who married Robert, not John, Hart. Jane Morris, however, is not the widow of David Morris, but his mother. And she is also the mother of John Hart and, consequently, the wife of John Hart's father Robert Hart, making John Hart and David Morris half-brothers as explained by Shourds on page 163, line 9 (Cook, "Amwelbury" 167; NJA 30: 224; NJA 32: 229). John Hart moved to Philadelphia. He married Hannah Chamness in 1757 (Hinshaw 2: 77).

Charles Oakford married three times. He married Mary, not Margaret, Denn in 1695ü , so Elizabeth (May 17, 1698), twins Charles and Mary (December 20, 1701), and John (March 12, 1704) were their children (Hinshaw 2: 36). He married Sarah Hall in 1704 with no issue (Hinshaw 2: 36, 90). He married Margaret Writ, daughter of Isaac Smart, in 1705, so Mary, Susannah, and Ann were their children. Charles Oakford, Sr., died 4-8-1711 (NJA 23: 342-343ü ; SCGD 1: 182ü ; Craig, Salem Tenth 54; Hinshaw 2: 90ü ). Can't verify Writ(e) or connection to Smart.

The original correction said that the name Ballinger should be spelled Bellanger, but Shourds' spelling reflects the most common local spelling of the name. Several variations occur, including Bellangee, which hints at the French pronunciation (GJB). The end of the sentence should read, ". . .the arms borne by them are given very simple emblazonment: a shield azure with a chevron" (JNA).

Confusion overcomes Shourds on the Darkin family. According to the general account of Cook in "Amwelbury," Richard Darkin and his wife Ann, not Ann Windham, resided in Stepney, England. They came to America and first purchased land south of George's Creek in present Delaware. They probably arrived on the ship Shield in 1686 with their associate Robert Ashton. Richard Darkin and Ashton purchased the 380-acre Windham Estate in Salem County from James Nevill on November 11, 1688, and on August 24, 1691, Darkin bought out Ashton's share (NJA 21: 596). Darkin first appears in the minutes of the Salem Monthly Meeting in 1687. The first four children of Ann and Richard Darkin were registered in the Lincolnshire Monthly Meeting records in England: Elizabeth, born 1680/1 and died young; Oliver, born in 1682 and died two months later; Jonathan, who lived about a month after his 1684 birth; and Sarah, born June 18, 1685, and in Salem, NJ, married James Whitton, the son of Christopher Whitton. Their children were Ann Whitton, born 10-12-1707, and Joseph Whitton, born 9-9-1709 (Hinshaw 2: 46; NJA 23: 427; NJA 30: 525-526). However, James Witton names Catherine as his wife in his will, and his son Joseph mentions his "mother Catherine." but this is explained by a second marriage of James Whitton on July 10, 1718, at the Philadelphia Meeting House to Katherine Bedwort/Bedward (Hinshaw 2: 685). Since this marriage date follows the birth of the two children, they are the progeny of the first wife. Richard and Ann Darkin had four more children. Born in Salem County were Joseph Darkin, who married Ann Mason; Hannah Darkin, who married Henry Hosier and produced Mary, Henry, and Richard Hosier (NJA 30: 526); John Darkin, who married Jael Morris, daughter of Rudro and Jael Baty Morris, produced Jael Darkin by the first wife, and then married second Elizabeth Butcher, daughter of Richard Butcher, and produced Richard, Joseph, Hannah, and Ann Darkin; and the fourth child of Richard and Ann Darkin, Ann. Jael Darkin, the younger, married David Fitz Randolph on May 25, 1740 (NJA 22: 112). Hannah Darkin, daughter of John and Elizabeth Butcher Darkin inherited the Windham Estate and married John Nicholson, son of Abel and Mary Nicholson (NJA 35: 289; NJA 37: 270).

Despite the fact that Banta occasionally concedes to Shourds in a void of information, when the two accounts of the Sayres family are compared, little congruence surfaces. (cf. The family is from Sweden. The family is from England.) In addition, the Shourds account lacks consistency, and some of the less ancient situations appearing in Banta fail to ring true. Collecting all the information from the Sayres line available from the first seven volumes of Calendar of Wills from the New Jersey Archives-including appraisals and witnessing wills and administrations-a third version of Sayres relationships was assembled. Little resemblance to either of the other two accounts could be found. My reluctant advice to Sayres enthusiasts is to begin from scratch, avoiding any dependence on Shourds or Banta. It is beyond the scope of this project to overhaul a family genealogy-as much as the turmoil calls for it-so I will only address the inconsistencies in Shourds' narrative. And I was thrilled to discover that Bathniphliath Sayers was the daughter of John Keeper of Pitts Grove! That story will suffer postponement (GJB).
