(The Woolverton Line).
Charles Woolverton, of Amwell, Hunterdon county (formerly a part of Burlington coun- ty), New Jersey, is the first ancestor of the Mohawk Valley Woolvertons of which we have absolute records. In a deed to him in the west Jersey records, consisting of a hun- dred acres of land and bearing date August 20, 1693, he is described as a husbandman of Burlington county, in that colony. In "Snell's- History of Hunterdon County, New Jersey," it is stated that on March 2, 1714, he pur- chased a tract of one thousand six hundred and sixty-five acres, in and about Rosemont, New Jersey, and upon his death left two hun- dred and eighty acres to each of his six sons; that he came from Long Island, and that the family originally came from Wolverhampton, England.
There are reasons for believing that Charles Woolverton emigrated from England with his brothers, John and Gabriel, and after living. a short time on Long Island, moved about 1680 to the Pennsylvania bank of the Dela- ware river, from which locality he soon re- moved to Burlington county, on the opposite bank. Besides being a man of considerable means, he appears to have been one of the leading men in his community. On the erec- tion of Hunterdon county, he was in 1721 elected one of its first five justices of the peace, and thereafter was frequently called on to witness his neighbors' wills. He is sup- posed to be the Charles Woolverton who, in 1731, was appointed overseer of the Friends (Quakers), settled at Bethlehem. All his chil- dren were probably born near Rosemont, New Jersey. Children : 1. Charles, born January 17, 1698; married Margaret -; died in October, 1765, at Amwell, New Jersey. 2. Roger, December 1, 1700. 3. Mary, April 11, 1702. 4. Daniel, March 8, 1704. 5. Isaac, April 24, 1706. 6. Dennis, January 26, 1709, see forward. 7. David, March 25, 1711. 8. Jocl, born May 31, 1715. 9. Thomas, May II, 1717.
(II) Dennis, son of Charles Woolverton, was born January 26, 1709, probably at Rose- mont, New Jersey, died August 9, 1774, being buried at the place of his birth. He was for several years church warden of the church at Kingwood. By his will he gave his home- stead to his wife, Elizabeth, and their son,. Jonathan, and to his daughter, Mary, and his grandson, Nathaniel, his plantation, describ-

ing the latter as "the only son of my oldest son Charles." He married Elizabeth Pettit. Children: 1. Charles, born at Rosemont, New Jersey, see forward. 2. Mary, married Gen- eral Daniel Bray, May 2, 1772. 3. Jonathan, born 1754, married Mary Bancroft; removed to Canada, probably locating at Forty Mile Creek in October, 1798, where he died in 1831.
(III) Charles, son of Dennis and Elizabeth (Pettit) Woolverton, was probably born at Rosemont, New Jersey. He was accidentally drowned in the Delaware river in 1763. He married Anne, daughter of John Jewell, of Amwell, New Jersey, by whom he had but a single child, Nathaniel, see forward. It is probable that this John Jewell is responsible for the connection of the Woolvertons with the Baptists of the Mohawk Valley, in which denomination they have been prominent for four generations. Barbor & Howe's "His- torical Collections of New Jersey" relates that John Jewell and others built the first Baptist church in the town of Amwell in 1766, and that, at one time the church was without a pastor, the regular supply being shut out of the house by Mr. Jewell because he was thought to be too favorable to the British.
(IV) Nathaniel, son of Charles and Anne (Jewell) Woolverton, was born January 14, 1763, probably at Ringwood, New Jersey, died at Glen, Montgomery county, New York, No- vember 22, 1835. His mother marrying short- ly after his father's death and while Nathaniel was a young boy, he was taken into the house- hold of his maternal grandfather, John Jewell, and lived with him in Amwell, New Jersey, until his own marriage, January 4, 1786, at Amwell, to Pamelia Hudnut, born July 2, 1770, died at Glen, New York, September I, 1853. For a year or two after his marriage, he resided in Amwell and then removed to Ringwood, New Jersey, probably to the farm that came to him from the estate of his grand- father, Dennis Woolverton. After living there some six years, he removed to Montgomery county, New York, and on September 29, 1794, purchased for £550 a farm of two hun- dred acres in William Corey patent. This farm is situated in the present towns of Glen and Charleston, Montgomery county. Upon this estate Nathaniel Woolverton erected a fine, substantial house, which was standing in 1910, and there reared his large family. He continued to live there until his death. He and his wife are buried in the cemetery of the Baptist Church at Charleston, New York. One of his granddaughters describing him says: "He was a man of heroic courage, stir- ling integrity, a firm believer in God and His attributes, and generous in word and deed."

(V) Edward, son of Nathaniel and Pamelia (Hudnut) Woolverton, was born at Amwell, New Jersey, January 11, 1787, died at Pitts- field. Massachusetts, September 4, 1874. His grave is beside that of his wife in the Albany Rural Cemetery. His early married life was spent in Charleston, New York, but about 1827 he removed to Oppenheim, New York, then to Canajoharie, New York, in 1830. and in 1832 to Albany, New York, where he lived thereafter until his death, excepting perhaps for a brief period when he was at Grand Spring, Wisconsin. He was at first a farmer, later he dealt considerably in livestock and subsequently, at Albany, was a forwarder of goods, principally on boats plying the Hudson river. A dignified man, with a large, clean- shaven face, always appearing in an old-fashi- ioned stock tie, he impressed his great-grand- children, who remember him, as a true gentle- man of the old school. He was long a mem- ber of the Pearl Street (now Emmanuel ) Bap-

(VI) George Alonzo, son of Edward and Asenath (Wilcox) Woolverton, was born in Charleston, Montgomery county, New York, September 12, 1813, died at Albany, New York, May 5, 1896, where he was buried with his wife in the Albany Rural Cemetery. His childhood and youth were spent in Montgon- ery county and he there received his educa- tion in the district schools of Charleston, Op- penheim and Canajoharie. He came to Al- bany in 1832 with his father, for whom he worked at farming until about the time he became of age. Shortly after he moved to Albany, where he resided until his death, he became clerk in a store in that city where boots and shoes were sold. Becoming in this manner familiar with that business he, in 1837, started a wholesale boot and shoe business for himself, and continued in it until his retire- ment from business in 1882. Not content with being merely a buyer and seller, he soon be- gan manufacturing his own goods. By his activity, industry, frugality and keen business insight, he built up a large business, and was in this, as in all his other business ventures, very successful. During the years 1860 to r870, he also conducted a wholesale hat business, and for a time was largely interested in a line of barges sailing between Albany and New York City. While in all these enterprises he
had at times partners, chiefly relatives, he was the leading man in them. In 1879 cir- cumstances gave him control of one of the gas companies of Albany, and in 1880 he became the president and chief administrative officer of the People's Gas Company of Albany. In 1864 he. with several other prominent men, organized the Merchants' National Bank of Albany, and was on its first board of directors, continuing in that capacity until 1895, when he retired following thirty years of service. He was a pronouncedly religious man, and particularly active in the support of the Pearl Street (now Emmanuel) Baptist Church of Albany, in which he and his wife, his father and most of his sisters were baptized in 1840. In the latter years of his life he was consid- ered the leading man in that church. H generously supported the institutions of his denomination, particularly those connected with its ministry, it being said that at one time he was supporting in whole or in part eight students for the ministry. He was one of the incorporators of the Hudson River Baptist Association North. From 1884 until his death in 1896 he was vice-president of the New York Baptist Union for ministerial education, and from 1885 to 1896 was trustee of Colgate University, and from before 1870 to 1896 a trustee of Emmanuel Baptist Church.
George Alonzo Woolverton married, at Glen, New York, July 11, 1838, Caroline Shu- ler (see Shuler II). She was born at Florida, Montgomery county, New York, July 20, 1814, died at Albany, New York, July 31, 1894, daughter of John and Hannah (Buck) Shuler. A sketch of his life would be very incomplete without a reference to that of his wife, who was in truth a helpmeet. Of her, her husband truly said. "She was the most perfect model of a Christian I ever met. With her every human being on earth was a broth- er or sister, and it was her sweetest joy to minister to the wants of all." She was a lead- er in many of the charitable and religious in- stitutions of Albany, and encouraged her hus- band in his many gifts, while her personal benefactions were without number. She was one of the three founders in Albany of the Women's Baptist Missionary Society, and president of the Emmanuel Baptist Church branch of it until her death. For very many years she was a manager of the Albany Guar- dian Society, and of the Boys' Lodging House of Albany. Children, born at Albany : 1.

(The Shuler Line).
The family name of Shuler is probably but a simple alteration of the German word, "Schuler," a scholar, brought about by pho- netic influence, which is undoubtedly the case, for the family in this country came originally from that country. It is closely allied to both Schuyler and Schuiler through pronunciation, and if it could be proved that it was a dif- ferent form of the Dutch name Schuiler, it would signify a hider, because Van Schuyler means "from the place of shelter."
(I) Lawrence Shuler, or as he usually signed himself, "Lorentz Schuler," came from Wurtemburg, or Luxemburg, Germany, to America, in 1752, and settled in New York. He was born March 12, 1735, died at Florida, Montgomery county, New York, February 14, 1813. There emigrated with him his fath- er, who died soon after their arrival in New York; his sister Mary, who died at sea; his sister Catherine, born in 1724; his brother George, born in 1726, and his brother Fred- erick. They first moved to Catskill, about 1762, where Catherine married Albert. House- man. George died unmarried. The entire family removed to Montgomery county, New York, where Catherine married, (second) Peter Frederick.
Lawrence Shuler learned the weaving and reed-working business, it is said in Catskill, al- though his principal occupation in later years was farming. Subsequently he removed to Florida, New York, where he purchased what finally amounted to about a mile square of land, beginning in 1768. He was naturalized by act of the New York legislature, December 19, 1776. He was a lieutenant in Colonel Fisher's regiment (being the Third Regiment of Tryon county militia of New York state), and as such participated in the battle of Oris- kany. He was the first overseer of the poor for the town of Florida, when erected. He married, at Catskill, New York, in 1762, Sa- rah (widow of one Overbaugh), born July II, 1722, died at Florida, New York, in 1775, daughter of Benjamin and Catherintje (Zuy- land ) Du Bois, of New Paltz, New York. Children: 1. Anna, born November 10, 1763; married David Cady. 2. Jacob, November 3, 1765: married Betsy Hazzard. 3. Solomon, March 3, 1768 ; married Lydia Wood. 4. John,

(II) John, son of Lawrence and Sarah (Du Bois) Shuler, was born at Florida, Mont- gomery county, New York, November 12, 1769, died at Gasport, Niagara county, New York, August 9, 1859. He seems to have been a man of some prominence in Montgomery county. He was a member of the New York state assembly in 1815, and was an ensign in the New York State Light Infantry in 1798; lieutenant in the same, 1799, and was ap- pointed captain of the same in 1805. He was one of the committee at the opening of the Erie canal. He married, at Charleston, New York, February 25, 1790, Hannah Buck, born at Canaan, New York, December 24, 1769, died January 23, 1852, at Canajoharie, New York, daughter of Daniel Buck, D.D., and M.D. (second major of the Seventeenth regi- ment of the New York state militia during the revolution ) and of Anna (Denton ) Buck.

(The Wilcox Line).
The family name of Wilcox is derived from two words, the name "Will" and the word "cock," signifying "little," lience it is equiva- lent to "Little Will," or William's son, which has resulted in Williamson. While the der- ivation may lead to the same source or mean- ing, it cannot be said that the families of the two names are allied, as in innumerable in- stances where names of pronounced variation in their spelling are traceable to the one or- iginal family stock.
William Wilcox, or as the family name was written at that time, Wilcoxson, and his wife, Margaret, came with their son John to Amer- ica (according to Hotten's list of immigra- tion) in April, 1635, aboard the ship, "Plan- ter," bearing a certificate from the minister of St. Alban's, in Hertfordshire, England, al- though the family is said to be originally of Welch extraction. In the certificate their ages are given as follows: William Wilcoxson (linen weaver ) aged 34 ; Margaret Wilcoxson, aged 24; Jno., aged 2.
(I) William Wilcoxson, upon arrival in America, settled in Concord, Massachusetts. He was registered as a freeman in Massachu- setts in 1636, and moved to Stratford, Con- necticut, probably in 1639, possibly after a residence at Windsor, Connecticut. By his will, dated 1651, he gave forty pounds to the church at Concord, and he therefore appears to have been a man of some substance. After William's death, his wife, Margaret, married William Hayden, of Windsor, Connecticut, and died in 1655. Children : John, born about 1633; Timothy ; Joseph, 1638; Samuel, 1640, see forward ; Obadiah, 1642, married Phoebe ; Elizabeth, 1644, married Henry Stiles, of Windsor, Connecticut; Hannah, 1646, married Daniel Hayden, of Windsor, Connecticut ; Sarah, 1648, married John Meigs, Jr., of Guildford, Connecticut ; Phoebe, 1650, married John Birdseye, Jr.
(II) Samuel, son of William and Margaret Wilcoxson, was born in 1640, probably at Stratford, Connecticut. He went from there
or Windsor, Connecticut, to what is now known as Simsbury, Connecticut, forming with others who came from the same place the settlement to which was given the name of Massacoe. In 1672, at the court of elec- tion of Hartford, Connecticut, Samuel Wil- cox was propounded as a freeman. It is like- ly that at about this time he married Hannah, and settled down to active life at Massacoe, and his name appears in a patent of land given about that time. In 1669 he was deputy for Simsbury, also in 1689, and from 1694 to 1712 he served almost continuously excepting between 1702 and 1709. The first book of records of Simsbury and subsequent books show that there were some sixteen grants of land made to him. He was chosen selectman in 1677. On May 7, 1682, he, with others, petitioned the court to order a church. In October, 1689, he was appointed on a commit- tee to make a list of Simsbury estates. In the catalogue of church members, from 1697 to 1710, both he and his oldest son are named as members. To Samuel Wilcoxson and Han- nah, his wife, were born the following chil- dren, probably all at or near Simsbury, Con- necticut : Samuel, born April 15, 1666, see for- ward; William, married Elizabeth Wilson ; Joseph, married Abigail Thrall.
(III) Samuel (2), son of Samuel ( I) and Hannah Wilcox, was born April 15, 1666, probably near Simsbury, Connecticut, died September 13, 1713. On October 30, 1713, his estate was inventoried at over three hun- dred and twenty-six pounds, being nearly one- tenth of the taxable property of the town. He lived near his father in Simsbury, and was one of its most wealthy and influential citizens. He married, in 1691, at Simsbury, Connecti- cut, Mindwell, born February 11, 1662, daughter of John and Anna (Bancroft) Griffin. Children, probably born at Sims- bury: Hannah, born November 1, 1692, married William Chick; Samuel, April 20, 1695, married Mary -; John, April IO, 1698; Joseph, July 3, 1701, married Eliz- abeth Holcomb; Mindwell; Ephraim, see forward.
(IV) Ephraim, son of Samuel (2) and Mindwell (Griffin) Wilcox, was born Feb- ruary 24, 1707, at Simsbury. Connecticut, died in 1773. He married, April 5, 1726, Hannah Hill, of Simsbury, and their chil- dren were probably born there. Children : Ephraim, born May 24, 1727; Susanna, April 17, 1731; married Michael Jackson ; Sylvanus, sec forward.
(V) Sylvanus, son of Ephraim and Han- nah (Hill) Wilcox, was born at Simsbury, Connecticut, November 14, 1733, died July

5, 1821, at Alford, Massachusetts. He mar- ried at Simsbury, in 1759, Chestina Curtis, born January 12, 1742, fourth daughter of Peter and Chestina (Parker) Curtis, of Wal- lingford, Connecticut, later of Simsbury, Connecticut. He took his wife to the settle- ment known as Nine Partners, Dutchess county, New York, and subsequently re- moved to Alford, Massachusetts. In the lat- ter place he was elected selectman in 1775- 82-90-91. During the revolution he served on the committees of correspondence, safety, and inspection, also on the committee to pro- cure troops for the continental army in 1776. He was a captain in the Alford Company of Massachusetts militia, and in 1777, with his company, marched with the regiment of Col- onel John Ashly to Saratoga, where they par- ticipated in the capture of Burgoyne. As a partial recompense for his services in the field the town, March 19, 1798, voted to abate his taxes. In 1796 he sold his Alford farm and removed to Greenland grant, where he purchased a farm on which he resided until his death.
