He was baptized June 1, 1718 in East Hampton, Suffolk County, New York.⁽²⁴⁴⁾ Following the death of his father in 1740, he inherited 100 acres of land in Elizabethtown, NJ (now Westfield) "where his house stands". The reference in his father's will to "where his house stands" and the fact that East Hampton church records refer to him as being "of Elizabethtown" at the time of his marriage would indicate that he had removed to New Jersey sometime before 1740. His own will (Lib. 29, page 391) dated 30 December 1785 and proved 6 August 1787 leaves 4 acres of land and 1/2 of his Tanyard to his son, David, and 10 acres of land and 1/2 of the Tanyard to his son, Daniel. The remainder of his real and personal estate is bequeathed to all his sons and daughters, who are not named in the will.
