Abigail, maiden name unknown, was born about 1640 in location unknown. They are buried ontheir property Richard purchased from George Hutchinson. This property is located on Annaricken Brook in Springfield Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Annaricken was also known as Annaniken, Oneanickon, Oneakiekon, and An-na-nicken. There are horse farms located on what was Richard Stockton's property. History of the Stockton Family by J.W. Stockton "that the tract of land purchased by Richard Stockton in West Jersey was originally known by the Indian name of An-na-nicken; that it was over two miles in length and one in width; and that the mansion house of the late James Shreve is on the site of the house built and occupied by Mr. Stockton until his death." At Flushing on 22 Apr 1665, Col. Nicolls (Nichols), as governor of NY, commissioned Richard Stockton a Lieutenant of Horse. On 9 Apr 1669, the then governor of NY, Francis Lovelace, gave under this hand: "Whereas I intimated lately that I did approve of Richard Stockton to be Lt. of the Company of Foot, but I am since informed he was before enlisted and engaged in the Horse service, and I have thought fit to acquit him either as Officer or ottherwise from the Foot service.

Venicombe & Benjamin Jones Hannah m Phillip Phillips Elizabeth m William Budd Jr Bio by Jerry Stockton Wenn es um die Verwaltung, Erstellung und Wartung der Webseite geht, wird Find A Grave weitgehend von seinem Gründer, Jim Tipton betrieben. Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? |
