COLVER.
JOHN COLVER, (Culver) was the oldest settler in this part of Morris Co., of which we have any record. His will was dated, 2 Dec., 1732, at " Black River, Hunt. Co., N. J." John Bell was a witness to this will and also Seth Smith, a woman. The history of the Colver family is especially interesting also on account of their peculiar religious tenets and practices. They were leaders of the sect of Rogerines and brought with them from New London, Conn .. to this vicinity a number of people. 21 in all, who shared in their particular doctrines. John Colver is said to have come hither with a wife and family of ten children. He died bere in 1733, mentioning only 2 children in his will. The whole family seem to have moved away, one son Jabez going to Wantage twp., Sussex Co., and the rest to Monmonth Co. Afterwards, however, the other son of John, viz. John 2d, with his two sons, Thomas and Robert, returned to Schooley's Mountain. In 1748, Robert, " of Monmouth Co." buys a farm of Wm. Cook, part of which is now owned by Mrs. William Martenis and contains the Colver graves. The other son of John, viz. Thomas, bought land, 1749, near Drakes- town, Morris Co., N. J., from whence his grandson, David, went to Lafayette. From Hinman's Early Settlers of Conn., p. 773, and History of Southampton, p. 228, and History of New London, Conn., we compile the following :
EDWARD Colver, of Dedham, Mass. ; has grant of land at Pequot, 1653 ; became baker and brewer in New London ; in 1664 found at Mystic, where he had

In 1734, [before 1732 ?] a party of Rogerines at New London, consisting of John Culver, his wife and ten children, with their families, being 21 in all, removed to the west side of Schooley's Mountain, N. J .; had at least four children :

COOL.
Two families of different origin spell their name alike and both resided in the same part of Hunterdon Co. They were the Dutch family, Cool, properly spelled Kool, and the German family Cool, Cole, Kohl, Kuhls, Koul, Keiel and perh. Kaul. COOLS FROM HOLLAND.
BARENT JACOBSEN KOOL, in 1633, was in New Amsterdam in the employ of the West India Company. The genealogy of this family was prepared and published, New York, 1876, by Rev. David Cole, D.D. It contains all of the family with the exception of that branch, which came to Readington from Kingston. We therefore give the latter here. Barent's family was one of five families living, 8 June 1633, on Bridge street, New Amsterdam. He married Marretje Leenderts and had children :
