John Hampton and James Hampton were assessed in 1764 in in old Shrewsbury Township, Monmouth Co, Province of New Jersey.²

On 25 Aug 1764 James Hampton of Shrewsbury Township, Monmounth County, yeoman, conveyed to John Denman of Elizabeth Borough, Essex County, yeoman, that tract James Hampton bought from John Hampton in Shrewsbury Township on the south side of Shark River, adjacent to land of Joseph Flemman, being 100.75 acres. Mary Hampton was witness as well as Luis Phillips, She was the wife of Jonathan Riggs by 9 Sep 1771, when the document was approved.

This indenture is significant because of Mary's involvement - it's clear that the Mary who married Jonathan Riggs between 1764 and 1771 was the previous wife of James Hampton and her surname was not Hampton (unless she was a more distant cousin). Because Mary bore supposedly nine children with Jonathan and lived to 1851, she was young when married to James Hampton and he likely died young, shortly after the indenture in 1764.

Another possibility is that Mary who witnessed the indenture was not the wife of James Hampton but a sister or a cousin - this can't be ruled out solely on this record but I believe it more likely she was James's wife.^1,3,4

James was an original settler of Muncy Township in Lycoming County, possibly arrving there as early as 1774 (though it may have been as late as the latter part of 1775). Note also that several Couvenhoven family are also in Muncy Township at this early time - this may be a link to Sarah Hankinson who married a Vancouvenhoven.³

Ensign James Hampton was an officer in the Northumberland Militia, Second Company (Capt Samuel Wallis), Third Battalion commanded by Col William Plunket - formed 24 Jan 1776 primarily to deal with safety issues on the frontier.⁴

James Hampton witnessed the inventory of Thomas Hampton 5 November 1779 in Mendham, Morris Co, Province of New Jersey.^2,1

James was being sued by Dalrymple for trespass and breaking into Dalrymple's home, ruing crops and livestock and taking posts and rails. Damage sought was 300 pounds. This was a part of the so-called "land riots" of New Jersey in the 1740s. See note dated 15 April 1747.²

Jane Hampton died 31 January 1809 at age 77.³

Jannett Hampton was born in 1668 in Scotland.¹ She was the daughter of John Hampton and [-?-] [-?-].^2,3,4

If Jannett's age at death is accurately stated as 93, then her birth preceeded John Hampton's marriage to Katherine Cloudsley and there was llikely previous marriage for John. However, if her age were 86, then Katherine is likely her mother. The image of the stone shows "aged about . . ." with the final date, presumably 93, below sod level - so, she might not be exactly 93 and was, in fact, the daughter of Katherine.^4,1,5



Jannett married Robert Rhea 9 January 1690 in the house of John Hampton, Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co, Province of West Jersey.^7,2

The record stated: "Robert Ray & Jannett Hampton, both belonging to the town of Shrewsbery - at the house of John Hampton in an appointed meeting - This ninth day of the Eleventh month: One thousand six hundred Eighty & Nine." Note that this is a Quaker date.⁸

Her sons were Solomon and David; grandsons John and Samuel Lambert; granddaughters Joanna and Margaret Lambert. Executor was friend Isaac Winans. Witnesses were John Baker, Joshua White, and Jonathan Hampton.⁵

John Hampton died between 25 November 1852 and 13 February 1856 (he died during the time his father's pension was being examined.)⁶

His father's pension papers stated that son John left no issue, yet Nancy Hampton is still alive and married to Blevins Percifield. Perhaps Nancy is not a daughter of John but Henry has a daughter Nancy and Enoch did not marry until several years after Nancy was born - so, John is still the only likely parent. If so, then the pension papers were wrong about John having no issue.

John Hampton was born 1 October 1643 in Scotland.¹ He was the son of [-?-] Hampton.

John married first [-?-] [-?-].²

John married second Katherine Cloudsley 7 December 1675 in Dunbar, East Lothian County, Scotland.^3,2

Some of John's history was stated in a land transaction 28 Mar 1706: John Haddon (blacksmith, of the county of Surry, England) sold to George Willocks of Perth Amboy, Middlesex County, East New Jersey, property in both Perth Amboy and Monmouth County. The properties were settled by John Reid (of Monmouth County by 1706) and John Hampton (deceased by 1706), having been sent from Scotland in 1684 by the Proprietors of East Jersey (all from Scotland) with multiple servants. John Reid settled on "one tract of land on the north side of Raritan River opposite to Perth Amboy at a place know by the name of Sandy Pointe now in the possession of the sd George Willocks upon which he has built a brick house. And, whereas the sd John Hampton did . . . settle upon a tract of land in Monmouth County between the brooks of Cheesequake & Changororas [today's Chingarora Creek] likewise now in the possession of George Willocks." Reid and Hampton had been sent by Robert Barclay who had died and his property had been inherited by John Haddon.⁵

On 1 Dec 1684 a listing was recorded of the names of people imported into East Jersey. Included on the account of the Proprietors from Scotland was the name of John Hampton, indentured for four years, as was Janett Hampton, and John Reid (overseer). In addition, James Symson was included and indentured for four years - so James has a Scots origin.⁶

On 8 Jan 1685 the Proprietors of East New Jersey patented to John Hamptone, late of Scotland, a tract of 164 acres on Neversinks River near Cheesquakes as conveyed to him by Wm Haige, bounded on the east by Wm Dockwra; on the south by unsurveyed land; on the east by Thomas Warner; and on the north by the Proprietors.

At a council of the proprietors, at Perth Amboy in the County of Middlesex, on 8 Jul 1686 the council stated "Petition of John Hampton for one hundred seventy-five acres of land adjoinig to the lots of Wickatunk being for head land for himself, wife, and five children; which being read, it's agreed and ordered that when the petitioner shall pitch upon a particular place, then the Governor to grant a warrant as he shall see good."¹¹

In 1682 the Proprietors' Assembly passed an act for establishing highways within East Jersey and appointed commissioners to lay out the roads. By 1687 the roads and highways in Monmouth County were established and one of these was: "And Burlington Path, being the King's highway from Crosswicks Creek, by George Keith's Plantation, to John Hampton's as y^e way now goeth, and so to the Leonard's [Saw-mill], and thence to the Falls, as the way now goeth; but it is to be made more straight at the Leonard's and some other places betwixt that and the Falls. And from John Hampton's plantation, the path being the King's highway, is to go as the path now goeth to Hop River, at the usual crossing westerly of William Lawrence's field, and so northerly by mark't trees through John Bray's land . . . ." This indicates John's property at this time was near today's Highway 34, about three miles SE of Matawan.¹²

Have not been able to locate James's purchase of land from John in order to get dates - trying to see when John died, which would appear to be after 1764 and, if the Revolutionary War service is correct, would have been after about 1780.⁹

This may be the John Hampton of Shrewsbury who was a private in the militia during the Revolutionary War and whose estate was confiscated. This was because he was a Loyalist - see the attached image.

At a meeting on 17 Aug 1743 of the Council of Proprietors (of East Jersey) held at Perth Amboy, there was discussion of the Elizabeth Town town line that was established in 1684. “Mr. Ogden delivered on the 10th instant to Mr. Alexander 3/4ths of it which are in being in Isaac Whitehead’s handwriting, which he received from Jonathan Hampton, which Hampton the same day acquainted the sd Alexander that the way he came by it was that he found it amongst his father's papers who had in his life purchased of Capt John Baker's son the remainder of his estate and then got with that purchase what papers the son had of his father Baker, amongst which this was one. Mr Hampton said also, that when the sd minute (or certificate of Isaac Whitehead, the Elizabeth Town Clerk) was entire he showed it often & to many Elizabeth Town men, and whenever they talked in his hearing of their purchase going over the mountains, and had also while entire about 3 or 4 years ago showed it to the Elizabeth Town Committee and particularly he remembers Thomas Clark and Jonathan Dayton to have been two of them who much wanted it out of his hands and offered him a shilling bill for it, and were about pocketing it without his consent. . .” The source gives further discussion of attempts to contact men who had participated in the event in 1684.

Nancy Hampton was born 24 August 1768 in Province of New Jersey (date calculated from tombstone.)^1,2

Myers notes that Nancy Hampton was a descendant of Lord Hampton of England (with no source or further comment). Also, the 1880 census for Stephen Winget states Nancy was born in New Jersey; however, the 1880 census for Phoebe Winget Burns states Pennsylvania. There was a Thomas Gill Hampton residing in Washington County at the end of the 1700s and he had daughters marry Iams/Iiams men, but I can find no link of Nancy to Thomas (who came from Maryland.)¹

I've been trying to locate the parents of Nancy Hampton (1768 - 1844), wife of William Wingate and my 4th great-grandmother. So far I've traced some of the Hampton surname of New Jersey, where Nancy was born, but have been unable to definitely connect Nancy to these Hamptons; however, on Ancestry.com a family tree by PiscesDave shows the connection of Nancy to her brother Jonathan Hampton (1757 - 1851) and to their father Jonathan Hampton (1711 - 1777), resident of Elizabeth Town. I cannot confirm this relationship but I sent an inquiry in December 2017 to PicesDave and he responded: “John Hampton Barnes is the source for my information-it is undocumented- he probably obtained it from his mother Evaline Hampton g.dau. Moses Hampton. The Hampton family of Morris Co NJ came from Andrew Hampton of Scotland- then to James Hampton 1691-1732, then James Hampton b. abt 1715 m. Margaret Canaan-their children: John , James, Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, Jemima or Johanna, Moses, Nancy, Thomas, Jonathan. Some of the family bought land in Shrewsbury twp, later went to Northumberland PA in the 1770's. Later some went to Washington Co. PA.”

An interesting detail: William and Nancy's first son was named Moses, a name that does not occur in the Winget ancestry until this time, suggesting Moses might be a father or grandfather of Nancy.

PicesDave’s message has several inaccuracies that differ from my research. One critical observation of mine is that most of the Hampton family trees on-line are incorrect because people have copied original incorrect information. In the colonial Province of East Jersey there were four (4) Andrew Hamptons, four (4) James Hamptons, and five (5) Jonathan Hamptons, all inter-related and all born in the period 1640-1757. This does not include other Hamptons in Gloucester County (West Jersey at the time) that may be from another line. These Hamptons of East Jersey have been totally confused in posted family trees.

The age of the second wife of Jonathan Hampton (1711 - 1777) in 1768 strongly argues against this Jonathan being the father of Nancy (and of her supposed brother, Jonathan). It may be that both were fathered by one of the other Hampton family. Only two seem possible, Abner (bef 1727 - 1780) and Abraham (c1720 -1786), both of whom remained in Essex County, New Jersey. Abner's records in Quaker documents do not include a daughter Nancy or a son Jonathan, which leaves Abraham as a potential father - more research is needed.

For now, I’ll continue to try to find records that support (or refute) the relationship of Nancy Hampton to Jonathan Hampton (1757-1851.)

Nancy married William Winget, son of Caleb Winget and Sarah [-?-], circa 1790 likely in Morris Township, Washington Co, Pennsylvania, (estimate based on birth date of oldest daughter.)

Nancy may be related to Jonathan Hampton who sold land to Calvin Hathaway in 1807. Jonathan is the only Hampton I can find at this time in Washington County. He was born 1757-1766 in New Jersey and Nancy in 1768 in New Jersey so they could be siblings or cousins (if they're related). Need more research to see if Jonathan is related.

Two other Hamptons, Joseph and Thomas, were in Washington County in the 1700s but no family link has been established. Land transactions took place in northwest Washington County, near the West Virginia border on King's Creek.

A deed was executed on 10 Apr 1786 in Hanover Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, for a land sale by Joseph Hampton to Amos Loney, John Leewebster and Francis Holland (Vol. 1D, p. 25) for 400 acres of land in Washington County originally granted to Joseph by warrant and survey in Philadelphia on 18 Feb 1785. Witnesses were John J Woodford and Geo Johnston; Joseph signed his name; recorded on 28 Mar 1787.

Also in Hanover Township, a Thomas Hampton warranted 412 acres 18 Feb 1785 (surveyed 24 Nov 1785) and called the property "Hampton." He patented the land to John Lee Webster on 7 Jan 1795.
