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. Wallace of Rochester, Minnesota. Information obtained from these sources was later compared to David A Macdonald's book 'The Woolverton Family 1693 - 1850 and Beyond' published in July 2001. The long held theory that Joseph Barton Woolverton's lineage was John, Isaac, Charles W. was proven incorrect. The task of preparing our family tree and placing genealogy reports on a Family Tree Maker home page started as a simple project. Initial input for the data base was taken from 'Family Work Sheets' completed by my sister Christine Davies of Woodstock, NB and cousin Carolyn Beckwith of Wollaston, MA. The project was soon expanded to include all descendants of Empire Loyalist Thomas Woolverton. Numerous people have provided input regarding their family members. Also greatly appreciated, were the complete family trees provided by the following 1 The Wolverton Family - New Brunswick Connection Wolverton descendants with a NB connection: Kathy Ann Carter White of California - family tree for Samuel Woolverton 1837 (James Barton Woolverton, Thomas, Thomas, Charles W.

Charles W1 Woolverton was born 1660 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England, and died 1746 in Rosemont, Hunterdon Co., NJ. He married Mary Elizabeth Chadwick 1697 in West Jersey. She was born 1674 in Springfield, Burlington, NJ, and died 1751 in Kingwood Township, NJ. Notes for Charles W Woolverton: Charles W Woolverton, who immigrated from England to America in 1682, was the progenitor of the Woolverton and Wolverton families in United States and Canada. The family was an old one in England, appearing under various forms of spelling, as for example, Wolfreton, Wolferston, Woolverstone, Woolverton, and Wolverton. Early records of the family are found in books on the history of the Isle of Wight. The oldest spelling appears to be Wolfreton, based on a thirteenth century record indicating that Sir Ralph de Wolfreton contributed two bowmen to defend the island. Other Isle of Wight records indicate that descendents of Sir Ralph changed the spelling to Woolverton. Another traditional derivation of the name is based on the theory that the family seat, more than a thousand years ago, was near Wolverhampton, and that the family name was connected with the founding of the city. There is also a town in Middle England called Wolverton. A Book of Heraldry in the U of T Library includes two Woolverton coat of arms. One shows three wolf heads with the motto ' Que Sera Sera '. Another shield dating back to Henry III, belonged to a Wolverton family in Wolverton Parish, Buckinghamshire. An eagle is displayed over a belt of fire arms. During the reign of Charles II of England, there was little religious liberty for Protestants. Many men with strong religious convictions, moved with their families to America. These men were of various religious groups such as Puritans, Independents, Quakers and Churchmen who secured from the Crown, large estates in what is now known as Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Charles Woolverton who was a Quaker, disposed of his property in England and sailed 4 The Wolverton Family - New Brunswick Connection to America. It is said that Charles Woolverton, with his two brothers Gabriel and John as well as friends George Fox and William Penn, sailed from Dorsetshire England to America in 1682. A more detail account told a century later by a descendent of Charles (Elizabeth Woolverton b. 1774), indicated that they sailed on the ship Welcome and landed at Newcastle, Delaware on November 1, 1682; that Gabriel and John died of small pox; and that they settled on Long Island and relocated to Burlington County, New Jersey in 1689. None of these facts have been verified as the earliest record of Charles W Woolverton in America is a land purchase of 100 acres in Burlington County, NJ from William Biddle dated 20 August, 1693. There are 16 recorded land transfers in New Jersey made by Charles before his death in 1746. With the exception of legal documents, little is known about his life and last days. He wrote a number of religious tracts of which three have survived. There is no documented record of his parents in England. For more information refer to the book ' The Woolverton Family 1693 - 1850 and Beyond ' by David A Macdonald and Nancy N McAdams published July 2001. More About Charles W Woolverton: Emigration: 1682, From England To America Occupation: Land owner and Justice of the Peace Religion: Quaker Notes for Mary Elizabeth Chadwick: The identity of Mary's father remains undetermined. Mary was born prior to her mother Elizabeth's three recorded marriages. Her mother married Isaac Leet in 1685, followed by John Chadwick in 1688, and John Dickson at a later date. The name Mary Chadwick is generally accepted as being the wife of Charles as her mother Elizabeth was still married to John Chadwick in 1697 when Mary and Charles were married.

  • Gambling with the Bronx Bombers: Betting On, Against, and with the Yankees
    GAMBLING WITH THE BRONX BOMBERS: BETTING ON, AGAINST, AND WITH THE YANKEES Ronald J. Rychlak* The New York Yankees, arguably the most hallowed name in all of pro- fessional sports, has probably had more money wagered on the outcome of its games than any other team in any sport.1 Although few people today may be aware of it, the team itself has a long history of association with gamblers and gambling. The first owners of the Yankees were notorious gamblers; the team’s first captain was indicted in the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal; one Yankees’ pitcher was suspected of having thrown another Series game; one owner had ties to underworld figures in Las Vegas; another owner was suspended for his dealings with a known gambler; and one of the most beloved Yankees of all time was barred from baseball due to his association with a casino.2 Addition- ally, it has been suggested that the Yankees’ threat of moving to New Jersey in the mid-1990s was linked to New York State authorizing gambling.3 I. EARLY INNINGS: GAMBLING ON A NEW LEAGUE The relationship between the Yankees and gambling, which continues today, began even before the first Yankee players took the field.4 In the 1800s, people thought of baseball in the same way people today might think of horse racing or jai alai – gambling was simply part of the sport. Brooklyn’s Union Grounds was considered the finest ballpark of the 1870s. One reason was because it had a special facility inside the stadium for the use of bookmakers * B.A.
