p. 154. William Ogborne, 3, must have had a son William, if the New Jersey Archives, (Vol. 23, p. 344), correctly state that Mary Ogborne had guardianship given to her brother William Ogborne Dec. 18, 1721. That such a son existed is not impossible, as John Ogborne, I, in his will makes no allusion to any grandson John, son of his son William Ogborne, though we know that such a son existed, so there is no greater call for John Ogborne, I, declaring the existence of this supposed grandson William Ogborne, of the third generation. But it is passing strange that William Ogborne, 3, the father, should he have had a son William, should not have made provision for him in his will, 1708-9, when the said child was less than ten years of age, especially when he provided for his other minor son John. If error be eliminated, it creates the supposition that William Ogborne, 3, had a wife prior to Mary Cole, whom he married in 1698.

saw mill and grist mill and built and lived in the house since known as Lion's house." Ad- ministration upon his estate was granted to his wife, May 10, 1736. His wife, Hannah, died shortly after, for January, 1736-7, her will was proved, and Thomas Shinn was appointed administrator in her place upon the estate of her late husband, Jonathan Sleeper, and also guard- ian of their son John Sleeper.
Jonathan and Hannah (Ogborne) Sleeper had issue: John, Leah, Mary and a posthumous son Jonathan Sleeper. Of these children Mary Sleeper died, unmarried, leaving a will, Oct. 13, 1752, of Burlington Co., N. J., in which she devised her estate to her brothers, Jonathan and John Sleeper, and to her sister since Leah Atkinson. Concerning the son John Sleeper, it is known that he was born 10 mo., 14, 1731, and from the same source, (Burlington Monthly Meet- ing), that he was living at Bridgetown, Northampton township, Burlington Co., carpenter, when he married, 9 mo., 26, 1754, at Chester Meeting House, Hannah, daughter of Nehemiah and Ann Haines, of Chester township, in said county. They had seven sons and five daughters, whose births are recorded in the Friends' Records. He removed, in 1768 or 1770, to Otsego Co., N. Y., with several of his children. Concerning Leah Sleeper, the daughter of Jonathan and Hannah (Ogborne) Sleeper, it is known that she married, first, A. M. Atkinson, by whom she had one son, and that upon the death of her husband, Mr. Atkinson, she married, second, Samuel Atkinson, of Mount Holly, by whom she had two boys and three girls. Of Jonathan Sleeper, the son of Jonathan and Hannah (Ogborne) Sleeper, it is known that he married Sybilla, daughter of Joseph Lippincott, of near Mount Holly, by whom he had four sons and three daughters. For further information concerning the Sleeper family, see Hoyt's First Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Mass .; History of Hampton, N. H .; Manuscript "History of our family by Benjamin Sleeper, only son of John and Mary Sleeper, as given by my father and others," which, in 1898, was in the possession of his granddaughter Anna M. Sleeper, in Lamberton, Burlington Co., N. J.
p. 155. Anna Ogborne, 6, daughter of John Ogborne, 2, married Job, son of Samuel and Ann (Hulitt) Lippincott. In her marriage license she is called Anna. Job Lippincott was of Springfield, in his will, written 1759, which mentioned his son Job, and his daughters Ann, wife of Revel Elton, and Sarah Lippincott. Likewise his brother Samuel Lippincott. His daughter later married her first cousin, Joseph, son of Benjamin and Hannah (Ogborne) Butterworth. "3 mo. 7, 1763, Joseph Butterworth made acknowledgement for marriage out to his first cousin." (Friends' Meeting Records of Burlington and Mount Holly, contained in one volume in Penn. Hist. Soc.)
Further light upon Anna Lippincott's descendants may be found in Mount Holly Transfers, Book C., p. 386, which contains an indenture, II May, 1793, which recites: that Anna Lippin- cott became "seized of a certain messuage, tenement and lot of land with the appurtenances situate in the town of Mount Holly" through purchase from Hugh Hollinshead, Jr., and Mary his wife, who took title from Samuel Stockton, who took title from William Stockton, his brother, who became seized of it through his sister Sarah, who died under lawful age, who received the same from her grandfather Benjamin Brain, who bought the same from Josiah White, who bought from Samuel Gaskill, who bought from his father Edward Gaskill, who with Josiah South- wick purchased the same from Samuel Jennings. That the said Anna Lippincott, by her will, devised the use of the same for life to her daughter Sarah, wife of Joseph Butterworth, with remainder to Mary, wife of John Black, surveyor, of Mansfield, Elizabeth, Anna and Patience Lippincott, of Springfield, daughters of her son Job Lippincott, decd; to Anna, wife of John Mullen, carpenter, of Northampton, Mary, wife of Josiah Dungan, of Philadelphia, Sarah, Lettice and Elizabeth Butterworth, of Mt. Holly, daughters of Joseph and Sarah Butterworth; to Anna, wife of William Rogers, Jr., and daughter of Revell Elton, decd. This lot of land was

conveyed by the executors of Anna Lippincott, joined by the above interested parties to John Butterworth, farmer, of Northampton, and John Ross, Practitioner in Physic and surveyor.
Ann Ogborne, was a daughter of John Ogborne, 2, as established by the preceding evidence. While in the will of her stepfather, John Stockton, she is called Hannah, in her grandfather's will she is called An, and in her marriage license to Benjamin Butterworth, Sept. II, 1729, Ann, and in the deed of 1741, Ann, so that we can safely eliminate Hannah and call her Ann. She became the first wife of Benjamin Butterworth, 1729, who, following her decease, married, second, Nov. 18, 1735, Ann McCarty, probably daughter of Dennis McCarty, who died, intes- tate, in Burlington Co., 1736. Benjamin Butterworth was a weaver by trade and farmer as well. He was living as late as Aug. 12, 1742, upon what was apparently the property of Jona- than Wright, whose executors at this date advertised the sale of the same in the Penn. Gazette. It comprised 250 acres of land lying within three miles of the City of Burlington, with a good log house, a small barn, an orchard, etc. It is from Ann Ogborne and Benjamin Butterworth that practically all of the name now living in Burlington Co. are descended. They had issue: (1) David, who probably died young, (2) Joseph, and (3) Benjamin. Of these children (2) Joseph was a tanner by trade and in the latter part of his life a brewer in Mount Holly. He married twice, first, about 1759, his first cousin Sarah, daughter of Job and Anna (Ogborne) Lippincott by whom he had all his issue; second, Elizabeth, daughter of Francis and Zilpha Venicomb, and widow of Isaac Lippincott. They, Joseph Butterworth and his wife Anna Ogborne, had issue: (a) John Butterworth, born about 1760, died, Jan. 23, 1839, married, first, Rachel, daughter of Joseph and Charity Eayre; second, June 26, 1796, Rachel Corlies, widow of Caleb Ridgway, she being born Oct. 31, 1770, and died Mch. 24, 1847; (b) Joseph Butterworth, Jr., married Sarah, daughter of Thomas and Miranna (Ridgway) Moore; (c) Ann Butterworth married John Mullin; (d) Mary Butterworth, born Nov. 14, 1770, died June 22, 1818, married, first, about 1793, Josiah Dungan,* born Mch. 20, 1771, died Aug. 20, 1811; second, about 1814, Major John Curtis, of Mansfield, Burlington Co .; (e) Samuel Butterworth died 1812, married Anna, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Coates) Ridgway, born Dec. 24, 1775; (f) Sarah Butter- worth; (g) Lettice Butterworth; (h) Elizabeth Butterworth married Francis Prickett.
Benjamin Butterworth, (3), son of Benjamin Butterworth and Ann Ogborne, married, by license, July 26, 1757, Sarah Likens. I have no further information concerning him. All three of Ann Ogborne Butterworth's children, David, Joseph and Benjamin, were mentioned in the will of their step-grandfather, John Stockton.

* Josiah Dungan was born, in Oxford Township, Philadelphia Co., Pa., Mch. 20, 1771; died Aug. 20, 1811. He was the son of Capt. Benjamin Dungan (Revolutionary War) by his wife, Esther Cottman, born in Somerset Co., Maryland, who, dying when her son Josiah was still young, her husband, Capt. Benjamin Dungan, married again in 1779. Capt. Benjamin Dungan was a deacon of the Pennypack Baptist Meeting, in Lower Dublin Township, Philadelphia Co., for thirty-four years, and was a descendant in the fourth generation of the Rev. Thomas Dungan, who came from Rhode Island, in 1683, and settled at Cold Spring, Bucks Co., Pa., where he established the first Baptist church in Pennsylvania. Josiah D'ungan, by his wife, Mary Butterworth, had seven children, four of whom married.

p. 175. William Bickley. Add the following notes to those that appear on pages 170 and 175: Despite the statements of a writer of relatively recent date* which besmirch the character of William Bickley, there remains convincing evidence that he was an upright Quaker much esteemed by his neighbors and fellow merchants of New York. He was frequently a witness to wills, an executor, an administrator, and a scholarly man with some legal attainments, for he declared to the Court that it was he who drew, in 1690, the will of Col. Lewis Morris. Charles Lambert, a New York shop keeper, or merchant, died on the Barquentine, St. Mary, on a journey from Jamaica to New York and made a nuncupative will, Nov. 8, 1691, which gave part of his estate to his mother and sister residing in the City of Exeter, and the remainder to his loving uncle William Bickley, in consideration of many kindnesses, excepting his trunk of books, which he willed to Lewis Morris. His will was then proved and letters of administra- tion were issued, June 7, 1691 [1692], to William Bickley. Herein may lie some evidence of the English origin of Bickley. Between Bickley and Col. Lewis Morris there existed a strong bond of attachment. The latter in his will, Feb. 7, 1690, gave him a negro, half his interest in the ship Friends Adventure, and made him one of his executors. He was apparently Morris' neighbor in Westchester, yet he at some time probably resided in New York City. He made his will, 3, 5 mo., 1707. An abstract of it is given on page 175 of this volume from which was omitted the following items: should his grandson William Cook fail to serve out his indented time he only receives 2 pieces of 8; to his daughters-in-law one Arabian piece of gold of 12 shillings value; to Thomas Ives and his wife Susannah £5 to purchase a small piece of plate in consideration of their kindness to me and mine; to Dr. John Redman, Hugh Cowperthwaite

and Samuel Bowne, of Flushing, each fro, and to George Curtis, John Lippincott, Sr., and William Worth, of Shrewsbury, N. J., each £5. Appoints his son Abraham his executor. He had a wife Susannah, living in 1698, but who predeceased him.
The allusion to William Bickley's daughters-in-law [step-daughters?] justly raises the presumption that he may have had a second wife, a widow with daughters, but she must have predeceased him for he makes no provision for any wife. His own children Sarah, Elizabeth and Abraham married and had issue, in all a goodly number, and to these he willed each 12 shillings. Sarah, his daughter, married, first, Mr. Lawrence, second, Thomas Potter (see Potter Family) and, third, Henry Graves. Mr. Lawrence I have not been able to identify. Thomas Potter was about 65 years old when he married, in 1695, Sarah Bickley Lawrence, and it is noteworthy that their marriage certificate had none of his children among the witnesses. Her kindred on the other hand were present. Potter's previous wife, Ann, did not die till 1694, which is good reason to believe that she was the mother of all of his issue. If this is correct deduction her four children were most likely Lawrences, perhaps Graves. They were hardly likely to have been Thomas Potter's children for he would have been between 66 and 72 years of age at the time of their birth and they would have been minors at the date of his death, in 1702, and no provision was made for any minor child in his will.
Sarah Bickley outlived her third husband, for, Aug. 23, 1720, for £50, Sarah Graves, of Shrewsbury, widow of Henry Graves, sold land on Rumson Neck to Timothy Halstead, late of Orange Co., N. Y., that had been conveyed to her by her father, William Bickley, decd, by deed Mch. 10, 1704. By her own deed of Dec. 19, 1709, as Sarah, widow of Thomas Potter, she conveyed to Thomas White, single man, land at Rumson "where she now lives" likewise derived from her father, probably part of a joint tract.
Concerning William Bickley's daughter, Elizabeth, not much is known, but she was mar- ried to Thomas, son of Thomas Cook, prior to 29, I mo., 1695, when they, Thomas and Elizabeth Cook, were present as witnesses at the marriage of her sister Sarah Bickley Lawrence to Thomas Potter. Thomas Cook died leaving a will dated 1698 and proved 1699, wherein he mentioned his eldest son William Cook, his son Thomas Cook and his daughter Elizabeth Cook, a minor, and his wife Elizabeth, whom he made executrix. She apparently married after his decease Nicholas Brown, for her father, in his will, 1707, calls her Elizabeth Brown, and gives 12 shillings to his son-in-law Nicholas Brown and £20 conditionally to his grandson William Cook. She was ignored in the will of her brother Abraham Bickley, 1725, but her three children, William and Thomas Cook and Elizabeth, their sister, and Matthew Birchfield, (probably her husband), whom he calls kinsman, received legacies, hence she was probably dead.
The difficulty which now presents itself is to determine which Nicholas Brown married Elizabeth Bickley. It would appear that he was Nicholas, son of Abraham, son of Nicholas Brown, who, died 1723-4, leaving a will wherein he named his wife Elizabeth, but unfortunately she is known to have been Elizabeth, daughter of Abiah Edwards, which is confirmed by the fact that the rare name of Abiah occurs among the children of Preserve Brown and that there is a Neomy Brown, of Burlington Co., who had a license to marry James Killgore, Dec. 14, 1730, and this name, Naomi, is likewise an Edwards family name. In possible explanation of this situation it may be possible that Nicholas Brown had two wives by the name of Elizabeth, one Elizabeth Edwards and the other Elizabeth Bickley Cook.
Concerning Abraham, the son of William Bickley, some information may be extracted from his will, written Oct. 13, 1725, proved Mch. 28, 1726. In his father's will, 1707, he is alluded to as of Philadelphia, but in his own will he calls himself, merchant, of Burlington, and alludes to his "present wife Dorothy," and the following children: William, Elizabeth, Polgreen, Samuel, Hannah, Susannah, Abraham, Mary; his sister, Sarah Graves, and her four children, kinsman, William Cook, his brother, Thomas Cook, and sister, Elizabeth, and Mathew Birch-

field (who was probably Elizabeth's husband); his brother-in-law, William Hudson. Who the last wife, Dorothy, was I do not know, but his first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Gardner, and brother to John and Thomas Gardner, to whom he was married, prior to 1696, for in that year and again in 1698, William Bickley and Susannahh, is wife, joined by Abraham Bickley and Elizabeth, his wife, made conveyances. (N. J. Archives, Vol. XXI, pp. 294, 537.)
The record of the births of some of Abraham and Elizabeth Bickley's children is to be found in the Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting Records, and no doubt the record of the others is spread upon the books of the Friends in other localities. This record gives likewise the date of death of his wife Elizabeth Gardner, 3 mo., 15, 1714, apparently six days after the birth of her son Benjamin with which event it was doubtless associated: Susanna, born 3, II, 1702, buried, 7, 16, 1702; Samuel, born 4, 2, 1703, (an executor in his father's will and who advertised for claims against his father's estate May 5, 1726); Hannah, born, 9, 9, 1704; Susanna, born 1, 19, 1705-6, (married, 5, 25, 1728, Hodge, son of Henry Knight, Arch St. Meeting, Phila.); Abraham, born 2, 24, 1707; Mary, born I, 21, 1708-9, died 4, 8, 1708; Mary, born 8, 5, 1710; Isaac, born 6, 6, 1712; Benjamin, born 3, 9, 1714.
