We now have autosomal DNA matches verifying that I descend from Henry and his wife, Esther Willson. I specifically have found cousins through both Esther Willson's father's and mother's side verifying this line. Isn't DNA wonderful in this field? Henry married Esther WILLSON on 3 Jun 1731 in Burlington County, New Jersey, USA.

10. | Samuel I WILLSON was born on 1 May 1681 in Scarborough, Yorkshire, ENG (son of Robert WILLSON and Ann HOAG (HOGE)); died on 19 Dec 1761 in Kingwood, Hunterdon, NJ, USA; was buried on 22 Dec 1761 in Kingwood Friends Burial Ground, Quakertown, Hunterdon, NJ. Notes: His parents brought him to America at age one. The Home Visitor, a newspaper that published an article on him, states that in was on the "good ship Welcome" with William Penn along with his 3 sisters and parents in 1682. Their purpose was to help found "The Green Country Towne" which is now Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Samuel grew up in Burlington Co., NJ. He married Hester Overton in 1705 and settled at Crosswicks Creek, Chesterfield Twp., Burlington Co., NJ on land that his father gave him at his wedding. They lived there for 25 years, having all their children at this location. They were members of the Chesterfield M.M., in Burlington Co., NJ at the time. In 1730, they moved to Franklin Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ where they built a stone mansion on 600 acres of property which he bought from Jacob Doughty. It was a strong well built home with enormous chimneys and a large beam running across the top. This home built by Samuel and Hester housed many generations of their descendants, according to R E Willson's 1979 The Willson Family 1672-1959. On page 6 of that book - "By 1907, it became necessary to tear down the mansion, which was then beyond repair. William D Wolverton, M. D. husband of Annie E. Willson ... (d/o) James Willson and Mary A. Laing, built a new house on the original plot. The original carved stone is still in the west gable, which has the initials S.H.W. 1735 but under it is another similar stone marked - Rebuilt, W. D. W. - 1907." It was a mile southwest of Quakertown (C-199, C-740, 1509b) They helped establish the Kingwood Monthly Meeting in Quakertown sometime after this move. Samuel married Hester (Esther) OVERTON on 12 Jun 1705 in Chesterfield Twp., Burlington Co, NJ, USA. Hester (daughter of Samuel OVERTON and Hannah HALL) was born on 26 Oct 1682 in , Hunterdon, NJ, USA; died on 6 May 1736 in Kingwood, Hunterdon, New Jersey, United States.

11. | Hester (Esther) OVERTON was born on 26 Oct 1682 in , Hunterdon, NJ, USA (daughter of Samuel OVERTON and Hannah HALL); died on 6 May 1736 in Kingwood, Hunterdon, New Jersey, United States. Notes: Her death date could be the death date usually attributed to her daughter Esther as 5/6/1736. She was definitely living in 1731. She and her husband could easily be the E.W. and S.W. on the stones in the oldest cemetery in Quakertown, NJ. That is the only information on the stones, but the initials on stones next to each other would statistically apply to them. Photos of them have been provided by Patti Sue McCrary.
