Hi List
I keep a constant vigil of the NJ & County lists hoping I will be able to
solve some of my families history and this recent thread which discussed
some of the Davenport's particularly in Hunterdon cty. caught my attention.
I'll try and weave a rough encapsulation to see if there are any other
threads that might be able to woven into these families
The name's Woolley and Davenport begin by showing up in CT and then Woolley'
s show up in Long Island, NY for a period of time then on into New Jersey.
The next physical connection is that both Davenports and Woolley's have
interests in Barbados, not necessarily the same business/property, but in
the same time period. Although I did not see any particular records, a
discussion I had while in Barbados with a gentleman agreed with what I had
understood in general.
Now back to New Jersey/West Jersey (?) these two names come together down
the stream of time One Ezechiel/Ezekiel b. 31 Aug 1763, shows up in the Zion
Church of New Germantown/Oldwick baptismal record as an adult (27yrs) c1790.
Dec 23, 1790 he is then married to Polly Philips/Philops, b1773, New
Germantown/Oldwick. Incidentally, David Woolley a younger is Bap. on the
same date, same location.
The son of Ezechiel and Polly, Isaac Ogden Woolley mar. Sarah Davenport 15
Sept. 1832. They Had two children. Harriet Anne b. date unknown and
Margaret b.4 July 1835, Perth Amboy, New Jersey.
The early part of this narrative covers a time period c1650 - c1750.
I am hoping that SKS will come to my aid with additional info and of course
I'll be willing to share. These days I am becoming more dependent on others
for assistance for which I am grateful. There are a few old-timers to the
list who know of what I speak. I want to thank you all for this thread
starting, at least it put some more fire in my eye to keep monitoring.
