• Notes

  John came to British Colonial America on a ship named Bristol Marchant, William Smith, Ships Master, and arrived in Philadelphia in August 1684. John settled in Nottingham Township, West Jersey in 1684 and was the founder of Abbott's Landing on Crosswicks Creek. He was elected Constable of Nottingham in 1691, Overseer of Highways in 1694 and Surveyor of Highways in 1721. The Quaker records for Chesterfield MM record his marriage on 26 May 1696 to Anne Mauleverer the daughter of Edmund and Anne (Pierson) Mauleverer. It is thought that Edmund and his family were descendants of Sir Richard Mauleverer, Knight Templar of the Norman Conquest.
