Hi everyone -
I am researching several lines of DEBOWs in Monmouth and Ocean Co, NJ. A newly found cousin recently went to one of the historical societies or libraries (can't recall which one) and copied two documents from the "Debow" folder there. I transcribed the documents to Word. I just posted one of the documents (the one by Mount D. Gravatt), and this is the other one (I also can send the files to anyone interested).
This document might have been written by "William Henry Hoyt of New York City".
I'd be interested in working with folks to verify (or not) the information in this document.
(Also, I have a lot of information on the descendants of those listed in the 8th generation that I am looking to add to and willing to share.)
Thanks, Liz

Frederick’s widow probably died shortly before Aug. 15, 1771, when the plantation in which she had a life estate under the will was advertised for sale by Matthias Mount as executor.
