In 1669, thirty acres of land on Throckmorton's neck were granted to Mrs. Micah Spicer.
Upon the 12th of January, 1686, Spicer's and Brockett's necks (commonly called the grove farm) were confirmed by letters patent, under the great seal of the province, to Thomas Hunt, . .
At a court of assize held November 5th, 1669, Mrs. Micah Spicer sued for thirty acres of land on Throckmorton's neck. Albany Records, Court of Assize, p. 225.

Throckmorton, land in Middletown. Town Book of Middletown, N. f.
1672, July 18. He wrote a letter to Roger Williams upbraiding him for a letter to George Fox, in which Williams proposed a joint discussion touching Quakerism. addressed two other sharp letters to him.

1677. He was Town Treasurer; also in the same year a member of the Town Com- mittee.
In 1679, he was taxed 7s. 6d.
In 1687, his ratable estate was two house lots and four shares of meadow.
1687. "Estate of deceased John Throckmorton" taxed 3s.
John Throckmorton was gentlemanly born, well educated and possessed of wealth. He became a trader or merchant in his new home, and likewise was the owner of vessels doubtless used in his commercial enterprises, which carried him to Virginia, up the Dela- ware River, and to Manhattan. The ships were probably operated by others, as he was never, to my knowledge, spoken of as Captain Throckmorton. His trips in them, how- ever, were the means of his acquaintance with the desirable lands in Westchester County, New York, and the Monmouth Tract in East New Jersey, into whose colonization he entered. By deduction he was born about 1600, and arrived in this country when close to thirty years of age. He died an octogenarian, while visiting his sons John and Job Throckmorton, at Middletown, N. J., between Mch. 17 and Apr. 25, 1683-4, and was interred in a plot of land, set aside by and mentioned in the will of his son John Throck- morton, which later became known as the Lippit Burying ground, and then the Taylor Burying ground, and now is incorporated in the Morford estate on the main highway of the village of Middletown, N. J.
John Throckmorton's wife was Rebecca . . . . . , as appears from the Rhode Island County Records, Vol. I, p. 26, and Middlesex Court Files, contributed by the most pro- found and generous student of the Throckmorton family, Capt. G. Andrews Moriarty, whose descent is through the emigrant's daughter Patience, wife of Deputy Governor John Coggeshall. This Rebecca was probably the wife who accompanied him from England, and is alluded to by Winthrop, and again in one of Roger Williams' letters.
Edward Covill, gent., of Bradwell, in Essex, made his will in 1678; proved Feb. 9, 1679-80, wherein he left a legacy of £6, to his kinsman John Throckmorton, of Midle- Towne, in New England. There is no evidence to determine whether this gift is to the emigrant John Throckmorton, or to his son John Throckmorton, Jr. Both were living in 1678 and there was a Middletown in Rhode Island, as well as one in New Jersey, and the term New England, was so loosely applied in those days that it could easily cover both places. If I were inclined to speculate I should tend to the belief that the reference
79
THROCKMORTON OF MONMOUTH COUNTY, N. J.
was to the emigrant. Should it apply to his son it might unravel the surname of his mother Rebecca, wife of the emigrant; and it has been suggested that the name Covell is a misreading of Cornel which would account for the intimate association of the Throck- morten and Cornell families.

1667, Sept. I. Capt. Thomas Salter, of Jamaica, commanded a privateer which captured a Spanish vessel laden with Campeachy wood. He made William Smith its master with directions to sail the prize to Jamaica, instead of which Smith sailed the vessel to New York. Thereupon Samuel Mosely, acting for Salter, employed John Rider to sue Smith and his associates in the Court of Admiralty.
Smith, styling himself, Commander of the good ship William, had in the Bay of Campeachy, apparently arrogated to himself ownership and set up Articles of Agreement Sept. 1, 1667, with Freegift Frogmorton, Thomas Barnes, Symon Jones, Samuel Smith, Thomas Davis, John Haytor and Abraham Keelings, by which it was agreed that each man was to have his proper share of the vessel and a proportionate share of the Cam- peachy wood then on board, with the Captain having two shares; that no one was to sell his interest except to one of the others; that if any one deserted the ship he forfeited his share and that all prizes were to be equally divided except that the Captain was to have two shares. Throckmorton's and Keeling's participation in the venture apparently arose from provisioning the ship after it was taken over by William Smith. No decision is recorded.
New York Wills, Vol. I, p. 303.
1669, Nov. 6. John Throckmorton, Jr., of Middletown, in East Jersey, who, with his father was the lawful heir and next of kin of his late deceased brother Freegift Throck- morton, who died intestate, gave a power of attorney to his father, Mr. John Throck- morton, of Providence, Rhode Island, in New England, to sue for sums due the estate of his late brother Freegift Throckmorton, from Richard Berris [?], of Watertown, or Judah Bidedes, in his daughter's possession. Witness: Jonathan Hullmes, son to obadiah Hulmes off road Island.

3 PATIENCE THROCKMORTON, daughter of John Throckmorton, I, was born 1640; married December, 1655, John Coggeshall, the Second, of Rhode Island, and died Sept. 7, 1676. Her husband was born 1618 (?) and died Oct. I, 1708. He was a son of John Coggeshall, Sr .; was an eminent person in the early history of Rhode Island, and resided at Newport. He was wealthy and left a will dividing his property between three sets of children, by various wives, of which the following are the offspring of his second marriage:

4 JOHN THROCKMORTON, son of John Throckmorton, I, was probably born in this country, or if not, was an infant when he reached here. He dwelt, successively, in Salem, Mass., Providence, R. I., Throg's Neck, N. Y., and Middletown, N. J. After the massacre at Throg's Neck in 1643, he returned to Providence, but joined in founding the settlement of Monmouth County, whither he removed and abided till his decease in 1690. His earliest record is that which connects him with Providence, R. I., where, in June, 1668, he engaged allegiance. It was shortly after this that he moved to Middle- town, where, in December, 1667 (if it be not his father that is meant), he had assigned to him town lots. Shortly after his arrival in Middletown Dec. 12, 1670, he was married, or as the ancient record expresses it, "was coupled together," by Edward Smith, Con- stable, to Alice, daughter of Richard and Penelope Stout, of Middletown.
If he was not already the owner of lands he was speedily put in the possession of such by his father, who, by deed of Mch. 3, 1672, conveyed one of his two shares of land acquired as a Patentee, to his son John, while the other he conveyed to James Ashton, the husband of his daughter Deliverance Throckmorton. From the fact that Job, a younger brother, drew town lots with the father in 1667, it may be inferred that John Throckmorton, 4, had not yet withdrawn from the Providence Plantations, and that his interests were only such as his father primarily secured, and which were later conveyed to him. However, he soon added, by grants and purchases, to the lands conveyed him by his father and died seized of a large realty.
1685, July 20. For £375, Pennsylvania currency, he bought of Robert Turner, one of the twelve Proprietors, of East Jersey, 1/48 undivided part of the Province of East Jersey, it being 1/2 of said Turner's 12 of Thomas Rudyard's undivided 12 of the Province conveyed by Rudyard to Turner in 1682.
1685, Dec. 4. John Throckmorton conveyed to James Bowne, Job Throckmorton, Joseph Throckmorton, James Ashton, Joseph Grover, Lidia Bowne, and Edward Smith, each, 1/10 of his 1/48; and to Benjamin Borden, John Smith, John Stout and Jonathan Holmes, each, 1/20 of his 1/48, of East Jersey. In consideration of the forgoing pur- chase and claim, the Proprietors on June 25, 1688, granted and released to the said John Throckmorton four hundred and eighty acres at Crosswicks, in Monmouth County, "beginning at a Walnut tree standing on the South side of the Burlington path."
1688, Mch. 28. John Throgmorton sold to James Bowne I/20 of his 1/24. Later, Sept. 22, 1699, James Bowne, as heir, conveyed this conveyance to his brother John Bowne who sold the 1/20 of 1/24 to James Alexander.
John Throckmorton drew in the first division of lands in Middletown: lot No. 24, Dec. 30, 1667, and lot No. 18, Dec. 31, 1667.

1688, May 14. He was appointed one of two Deputies from Middletown, to the Assembly. Records of the Governor and Council of East Jersey, p. 146.
John Throckmorton was a man of eminence. He served as a representative in the Assembly 1675 to 1688; was the Town's representative to meet the Governor in 1677; was long a Judge in the County courts, and was one of the Committee, who, with the sheriff, was appointed to build the first Monmouth County jail in 1684.
His lands amounted to several thousand acres and his purchases are too numerous to mention in their entirety.
He died after an active and useful life, in the Summer of 1690, leaving a will recorded in New York and Trenton, N. J., which mentioned the following persons:
his wife Alice, who received his dwelling and orchard at Garret's Hill, in Middletown, and one hundred acres adjoining, and twenty acres of meadow; his son Joseph and daughter Rebecca, who received the balance of his uplands and meadow, lying within ten miles of his residence, at Garret's Hill, and to them likewise, upon his wife's demise, the bequest made to her. The rest of his lands and proprietorship he willed, equally, to his four other children, who are likewise to have one-half of the estate "that doth by right belong to me by reason of my brother Joseph's will." Finally, he reserved for burial purposes, a one-quarter acre lot "where my father is buried in Middletown." The will was written July 17, 1690; proved Aug. 22, 1690. Witnesses: Richard Hartshorne and Job Throckmorton.
Alice Stout, the widow of John Throckmorton, married, second, Robert Skelton, by license dated Oct. 30, 1611, by whom she had:
Susanna Skelton who married Barnes Johnson, and had: Skelton Johnson and Alice Johnson, who married John Debow, who died 1749-50, leaving a son John Debow.
Alice Stout married, third, Mr. Jones.
1704, Apr. 13. Letters of administration were granted to Alice Jones, mother of Joseph Throckmorton, lately deceased, intestate, and again, May 15, 1704, an inventory of the estate of Robert Skelton was filed in New York, which was of large size and which was attested by Alice Jones, his relict and administratrix.
In 1692, Robert Skelton was Foreman of the Petit Jury in Monmouth County, and April, 1696-7, both he and his wife were living in or about Middletown.
1696-7, March. Robert Skelton, of New York, Taylor, and Alice his wife, conveyed property to John Stillwell, of Staten Island. Richmond County, N. Y., Deeds, Lib. D.

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
In 1700-1703, Robert Skelton was a Vestryman of Trinity Church, New York City. In 1717, an Alce Skelton was a witness at the marriage of a kins-woman, Patience Lippet to John Wooley, of Shrewsbury. She was, perhaps, Alice Stout, widow of Robert Skelton, or if not, she must have been her daughter. It is certain that Alice (Stout) Throckmorton and Robert Skelton had one child, viz .: Susanna, for, in 1750, it is set forth in a deed, recorded at Freehold, that Susannah Skelton, wife of Barnes Johnson, in 1726, was a "sister of the half blood" of Joseph Throckmorton, her brother, and that he, said Barnes Johnson, and wife Susanna Skelton had a son Skelton Johnson .*
The name Skelton appears in Bucks County, Pa., where Robert Skelton, in 1748, was not infrequently alluded to in property transactions.
Who Alice Stout's third husband, Mr. Jones, was, I have not discovered.

5 JOB THROCKMORTON, son of John Throckmorton, I, was born in the year 1650, (Sept. 30), probably in the State of Rhode Island, and was likely the youngest of the children. In 1667 he came to Middletown, and was allotted lands in the village and outlying country.
1667, Dec. 30. Job Throckmorton drew, in the first division of lands in Middletown, lot No. 22, and on Dec. 31, 1667, he drew lot No. 36.
In 1668, he recorded his cattle-mark.
In 1670, he owned a large tract of ground, in Middletown, to which he added a grant from the Proprietors, Nov. 18, 1676, which he subsequently exchanged for land at Colt's Neck, Jan. 7 [20], 1700, owned by Nathaniel Leonard, who was joined in the deed by his wife, Susannah Leonard. Each family thereupon took permanent residence upon their newly acquired domain, and the Leonards gave to their land the name of Leonardsville. These sites have remained in the respective families and have been their homesteads for over two hundred years. In 1700, when this transfer took place, Job Throckmorton was residing at Shrewsbury.
*1726, Oct. 8. Rebecca Stillwell, of Staten Island, widow, and John Coward, of Freehold, Send Greeting: It is set forth that the Proprietors of East Jersey, did convey to Joseph Throckmorton, now deceased, son of John Throckmorton, deceased, one hundred and thirty-seven acres of land, at the head of Millstone Brook Creek, Freehold Township, and that the said Joseph Throckmorton died without issue, and the land descended to his several sisters, as coheirs. John Coward was the son and heir of one sister, Patience Lake, deceased, and quit claimed to Susanna, wife of Barnes Johnson, of Middletown, "sister of the half blood to the above named Joseph Throckmorton, deceased," etc. These lands had been also patented to John Reid, Esq., late of Freehold, who received them, by patent, Aug. 8, 1701, and who sold them with warranty, Mch. 9, 1705, to Richard Watson.
In 1750, Col. John Reid, son of the late John Reid, bought out the rights of the heirs of Joseph Throckmorton, for which he paid £137, and William Watson, the successor of Richard Watson, paid to each, the sum of 5 shillings, as appears from the following:
1750, May 7. Skelton Johnson, son and heir to Susanna Johnson, deceased; John Lippit, son and heir to Sarah Lippit, deceased, and Thomas Stillwell, Jr., son and heir to Alice Stillwell, deceased, all of Middletown, convey lands to William Watson and Col. John Reid, of Freehold, patented to Joseph Throckmorton, deceased, July 24, 1693, who died without issue, and whose lands passed to his five sisters as coheirs, viz .: Rebecca, wife of John Stillwell; Sarah, wife of Moses Lippit; Alice, wife of Thomas Stillwell; Patience, wife of Hugh Coward, and Deliverance Throckmorton, who died unmarried.

She "died Feb. 5, 1743-4, aged 83 years, 8 months and 6 days," [born May 30, 1660], and her remains were interred in Christ Churchyard, Shrewsbury. The site is marked with a brown stone with the preceding inscription and is surrounded today by the graves of many of her descendants.
Job Throckmorton died Aug. 20, 1709, aged 58 years, 10 months and 21 days, and was buried in the Lippit or Taylor Buryingground, in the heart of Middletown village. The brown stone slab that marked the site of his grave was badly broken and fallen, but is now repaired. He left a numerous progeny from whom all of the name of Throck- morton in the United States at this day, descend, except the descendants of John Throck- morton, of Virginia.
Job Throckmorton, of Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co., died intestate, and letters of administration were granted to Sarah Throckmorton, widow, of Monmouth Co., and John Throckmorton, of Monmouth Co., June 8, 1711.

6 DELIVERANCE THROCKMORTON, daughter of John Throckmorton, I, married at Providence, R. I., James Ashton, Jr. He was doubtless the son of James Ashton, who was a Commissioner in 1652, '58, '59 and '63, and a Deputy in 1665, in Rhode Island.
In 1667, James Ashton, Jr., located upon the Monmouth Patent, in the vicinity of Freehold. He was apparently a divine, for he is spoken of in old documents as the Rev. James Ashton, yet it is likely that he was not ordained. Be that as it may, he was the first who ministered to the spiritual wants of the infant settlements in Monmouth Coun- ty, which were of the Baptist persuasion. He was held in great esteem and filled numer- ous responsible positions. See Ashton Family. His children, so far as is now known to me, are:
34 James Ashton, of Freehold; of age in or before 1693; died probably 1731. 35 John Ashton, of Cream Ridge; died 1744.
36 Mary Ashton, a spinster; died 1739; her estate was administered by Jeremiah Stillwell.
37 Alice Ashton born 1671; married Obadiah Holmes; died Apr. 27, 1716, aged 45 years.
38 Deliverance Ashton; the first wife of Jonathan Holmes.
39 Rebecca Ashton married David, son of Richard and Penelope Stout.
40 Joseph Ashton
7 JOSEPH THROCKMORTON, son of John Throckmorton, I, was an early property holder in Middletown. He was a trader and mariner and the owner of two vessels, perhaps more. He never married, so far as is known, or if so, outlived his marriage and issue, if any.
His will, recorded in New York, Lib. III, p. 183, declares that he is a mariner, "being about to go to Sea," and that he devises his property to his namesake Joseph, the heir male of his brother John Throckmorton, yeoman, of Middletown, East Jersey, whom he constitutes executor of his will and trustee of the bequest to his nephew Joseph. The will was written Dec. 2, 1689, at Burlington, West Jersey.
Joseph Throckmorton, Mariner, bound for the West Indies, made a nuncupative will, in Philadelphia, Pa. Alice and John Throckmorton gave a power of attorney to Richard Hartshorne to settle the affairs of "Joseph Throckmorton decd." His vessels were lying off Burlington, in Delaware River.
Trenton, N. J., Wills, Lib. 10 or E., p. 257.
1690, Sept. 2. Allice Throckmorton gave a power of attorney to Richard Harts- horne. She signed by her mark. Recited that Joseph Throckmorton had ketches, "Hannah" and "Sarah," at anchor off Delaware.
John Throckmorton, 4, died prior to his brother Joseph, 7, leaving his [John's] wife Alice, his executrix; whereupon as such, she applied for letters of administration upon the estate of Joseph Throckmorton, which were granted, in New York, Oct. 13, 1690. In the probate proceedings she is spoken of as "Mistress Ails" and "Mistress Alte Throckmorton."
8 ..... THROCKMORTON, daughter of John Throckmorton, I.
On the 30th of Oct., 1667, John Throckmorton wrote a letter to the Assembly, of Rhode Island, concerning the estate of his daughter Taylor, which was referred to the
85
THROCKMORTON OF MONMOUTH COUNTY, N. J.
Town Council. She was possibly then recently deceased. No other information has been obtained concerning her that I know of.
9 There were probably other children who were murdered by the Indians in their youth, while living at Throg's Neck, in 1643. Mr. Winthrop wrote in his diary that the Indians killed "such of Mr. Throckmorton's and Mr. Cornhill's families as were at home."
Extermination of the whites was an easy matter, for Winthrop further says, of these settlers, that "these people had cast off ordinances and churches, and now at last, their own people, and for larger accommodations, had subjected themselves to the Dutch and dwelt scatteringly, near a mile asunder."
19 REBECCA THROCKMORTON, daughter of John Throckmorton, 4, became the second wife of John Stillwell, of Staten Island.
John Stillwell, the husband of Rebecca Throckmorton, 4, was sheriff, of Staten Island, in 1693; Justice in 1702, and a Member of Assembly 1710, to the date of his demise. His wife was living in 1724, when he died. The property she brought him by marriage, he bequeathed to his sons-to John, the estate at Garrat's Hill, and to Joseph, the lands in Nutswamp; both situated in Middletown, N. J.
