MISCELLANEOUS-JACOB WOOLF, of Bedminster, is given a mortgage by Daniel Lawrence July, 1768, for land prob. near Drakestown. This Jacob is prob. a brother to George and William. The ancestor of this family was probably JOHN AUGUSTUS WOLF, who was born in Loebegin, Germany, and came to New Am- sterdam in 1734, and from there came the same year to this part of New Jersey.

WOLF-WOODHULL
Family tradition says that three brothers came over together and further research may discover some trace of the other families. or it may be that 'only George (above) was the son of John Augustus, the emigrant.
WOODHULL.
The WOODHULL family were prominent in England, Long Island and New Jer- sey. They trace their descent from the Conquest, 1066. WALTERUS FLAN- DEREMIS had a son Walter, Baron of Wahull. From him the lineage has been traced for twelve or more generations to Richard, who emigrated to this country (Long Island), as early as 1648. He was born at Thenford, Northampton Co., England, in 1620, and d. 1690. Possessed of large wealth he purchased, 1665, one thousand acres, including the site of Brookhaven. L. I. He left a widow, Deborah and three children, Richard, Nathaniel, who d. unm. in 1680, and Deborah, who m. Thomas Lawrence.
RICHARD, 2d, son of Richard Ist, b. 1649, had Richard, Nathaniel and Josiah. RICHARD, 3d, son of Richard 2d, b. 1691, d. 1767, had Richard, Mary, John, Capt. Nathan, Stephen, Henry, Phebe.
JOHN, son of Richard, 3d, b. 15 Jao., 1719, d. 3 Jan., 1794, had William, John, Caleb, Merritt Smith, Henry, James, Elisabeth, Gilbert, Jeffrey Amhurst, Temperance and Mfary. The emigrant Richard left England on account of the part he took in the civil war. His descendants in almost every generation were prominent in the medical profession, the legal sphere and the calling of the ministry, Rev. William, of Chester, had a nephew who was a Judge of the Supreme Court, and a brother, Rev. Dr. John Woodhull, who graduated from Princeton College ; was a trustee from 1780-1824 ; pastor for most of his life of the Presbyterian Church of Freehold, N. J. He had a son Rev. George Spafford Woodhull, and the latter had a son Rev. William Henry Woodhull. WILLIAM, son of John, b. Dec. 3, 1741 (O. S.), d. Chester, Morris Co., N.

YOUNGS.
Among the families of Palatines of the second emigration, 1710, and found in New York at that date are JOHANNES JUNG (Young) aged 32, and his wife Anna, aged 35 ; also NICLAUS JUNGENS aged 38 and his wife Anna Magdalena aged 25. The next record is of the date of 1738, March, when letters of administration of the estate of Johannes, of Somerset Co., are granted by consent of the widow to Sam- uel Stockton (Trenton Lib. C, fol. 190). In the baptismal book of the First Ref. Church of Somerville, we find that JOHANNES JONG (Young) and wife Mecheld have a child, Margaritie (Margaret), bap. 1725, April 4 ; also PHILIP JONG and Mareya (Mary) have a child, Mareya, bap. 1734, Oct. 20. In 1730 Johan and Pieter Young are naturalized by act of Assembly : in 1751, Philip ; 1754, John ; 1755, Jacob and Tunis. Hence it would appear that Peter and John were the two first arrivals of the German family of Youngs. There was, however, another family of the name of Young, whose descendants have spread through New Jersey, that of Robert Young, a Scotchman, who settled at Newark very early and died 1726 at 63.
