  • The Wolverton Family New Brunswick Connection
    The Wolverton Family New Brunswick Connection Descendants of Empire Loyalist Thomas Woolverton 1735-1819 Grandson of Charles W Woolverton 1660-1746 by Carl Leonard Wolverton The Wolverton Family - New Brunswick Connection Foreword Although my grandfather Leonard Wolverton's parents names 'Joseph and Sarah' were engraved on one end of his headstone in the Upper Knoxford, Carleton Co., NB cemetery, nothing further was known regarding our Wolverton ancestors. As a child, I recall my father visiting cemeteries collecting data for a distant cousin in Woodstock, NB. This information was submitted to a genealogist in the US who was researching the Wolverton family. The researcher died before a planned book could be published and a copy of the data did not survive. After visiting Wolverton, Ontario in 1997, my daughter Lynn decided to contact descendants of the family that founded the town to determine if a connection could be made. Lois E. Darroch, a Wolverton descendant and former resident of Wolverton, Ontario suggested contacting her cousin Harold Wolverton in Vancouver. Hand written documents in his possession connected our family with Joseph Barton Woolverton who had immigrated from New Jersey to New Brunswick following the American Revolution in 1783. Although Harold's charts contained an error in regards to the name of Joseph Barton Woolverton's father, his information provided the key in resolving the Wolverton family New Brunswick connection. Thanks to input from genealogist James D. "Dan" Hitt of Gillette, Wyoming, the father of Joseph Barton Woolverton was identified as Empire Loyalist Thomas (b 1735) rather than John. Additional information regarding Empire Loyalist Thomas Wolverton and his family was provided by researcher Mary W.
