1606 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. "The ancestry of Lorenzo Ackley & his wife Emma Arabella Bosworth," edited by Donald L. Jacobus, pp. 259-60:
"JOSEPH1 Collier, probably of the family located at Southwark, co. Middlesex, England, died at Hartford, Conn., 16 Nov. 1691; married in 1667 Elizabeth2 Sanford, born at Hartford, 19 Feb. 1645/6, buried there 31 Dec. 1695, daughter of Robert and Ann (-) Sanford.
Joseph Collyer the elder, citizen and grocer of London, dwelling in the parish of St. Saviour’s, Southwark, in his will of 21 Aug. 1648, proved 28 Sept. 1649, named his brother Abel Collyer; niece Elizabeth Bourne, daughter of his sister Elizabeth Bourne; sister Judith Warner and her daughter Susan; sister Rhoda Dorton; sister Mary Browninge in New England; sister Dorcas Slingsby; sister Rachell now the wife of Richard Parnell of Epsham; his own sons Samuel, Joseph, Abel, Benjamin and Nathaniel; and his daughter Elizabeth Savage and her daughters Hannah and Elizabeth.
The sister Mary may well have been the wife of Thomas Browning (ca. 1587-1671) of Salem, Mass. This New England connection, the Puritan names of the children, and the fact that Joseph had both a brother and a son named Abel, suggest that Joseph Collier of Hartford, who gave the name of Abel to a son, may have been a grandson or nephew of the testator of 1648.
According to Savage, the Hartford settler had been in Salisbury, Mass., where he had a daughter Mary born 9 Apr. l662. b This is an error, and it was a Mary Fletcher who was born at Salisbury on that date. Nothing is known of Joseph Collier before he settled at Hartford, and he married a Hartford girl after his arrival. He was chosen a chimney-viewer [an office similar to fire warden] in 1668, 1675 and 1676.° He entered 13 Mar. 1670/1 a record of lands bought of William Williams, and made further purchases.
Administration on his estate was granted, 2 Dec. 1691, to his widow Elizabeth, who by the wish of her husband was to have the whole estate during her life. The Court ordered the movables at her death to go to the daughters, and the housing and lands to the sons. The children were listed as "Josep Collier ye Eldest son,” aged 23; "mary Phelpes,” 22; Hannah, 20; Sary Collier, 18; Elizabeth Collier, 16; Abell, 14; John Collier, 12; Abigaill Collier, 9; Susannah Collier, 7; and Ann Collier, 4.
The will of Elizabeth Collyer, dated 27 Dec. 1695, proved 21 Feb. 1695/6, mentioned her sons Joseph, Abel and John, her daughter Mary Phelps of Simsbury, and other children unnamed; and desired Hon. Col. John Allyn and "my Loveing Brother Ensigne Zechariah Sandford and my Brother Robert Sandford” to be overseers of her estate.
Children of Joseph and Elizabeth (Sanford) Collier born at Hartford:
i. Joseph2, b. abt. 1668; d. at Hartford, 25 Sept. 1738; m. 15 Apr. 1695, Sarah Forbes.
ii. Mary, b. abt. 1669; m. before Oct. 1689, Joseph Phelps of Simsbury, where the following is entered under the record of their children: "these children abouesd was born to him by his wife Mary who was daughter to Joseph Collyer of hartford and sd marys mothers name was sanford. or sister to Zechry sandford.”
iii. Hannah, b. abt. 1671.
iv. Sarah, b. abt. 1673; d. 20 Nov. 1730; m. 22 July 1697, Joseph3 Pratt.
v. Elizabeth, b. abt. 1675; living 1691.
vi. Abel, b. abt. 1677; bur. 1 Aug. 1697, unm. The inventory of his estate was taken 9 Nov. 1697 and was exhibited by Zachary Sanford. Distribution was ordered to the brothers and sisters; Lt. Sanford and Robert Sanford distributors.

viii. Abigail, b. abt. 1682; d. at Middletown, Conn., 28 Oct. 1742; m. at Hartford, 6 Mar. 1700/1, Samuel Peck, b. [say 1674], d. at Middletown, 9 Dec. 1765,
son of Paul and Hannah (Baisie) Peck.

This New England connection, the Puritan names of the children, and the fact that Joseph had both a brother and a son named Abel, suggest that Joseph Collier of Hartford, who gave the name of Abel to a son, may have been a grandson or nephew of the testator of 1648.
According to Savage, the Hartford settler had been in Salisbury, Mass., where he had a daughter Mary born 9 Apr. l662. b This is an error, and it was a Mary Fletcher who was born at Salisbury on that date. Nothing is known of Joseph Collier before he settled at Hartford, and he married a Hartford girl after his arrival. He was chosen a chimney-viewer [an office similar to fire warden] in 1668, 1675 and 1676.° He entered 13 Mar. 1670/1 a record of lands bought of William Williams, and made further purchases.
Administration on his estate was granted, 2 Dec. 1691, to his widow Elizabeth, who by the wish of her husband was to have the whole estate during her life. The Court ordered the movables at her death to go to the daughters, and the housing and lands to the sons. The children were listed as "Josep Collier ye Eldest son,” aged 23; "mary Phelpes,” 22; Hannah, 20; Sary Collier, 18; Elizabeth Collier, 16; Abell, 14; John Collier, 12; Abigaill Collier, 9; Susannah Collier, 7; and Ann Collier, 4.
The will of Elizabeth Collyer, dated 27 Dec. 1695, proved 21 Feb. 1695/6, mentioned her sons Joseph, Abel and John, her daughter Mary Phelps of Simsbury, and other children unnamed; and desired Hon. Col. John Allyn and "my Loveing Brother Ensigne Zechariah Sandford and my Brother Robert Sandford” to be overseers of her estate.

The sister Mary may well have been the wife of Thomas Browning (ca. 1587-1671) of Salem, Mass. This New England connection, the Puritan names of the children, and the fact that Joseph had both a brother and a son named Abel, suggest that Joseph Collier of Hartford, who gave the name of Abel to a son, may have been a grandson or nephew of the testator of 1648.
According to Savage, the Hartford settler had been in Salisbury, Mass., where he had a daughter Mary born 9 Apr. l662. b This is an error, and it was a Mary Fletcher who was born at Salisbury on that date. Nothing is known of Joseph Collier before he settled at Hartford, and he married a Hartford girl after his arrival. He was chosen a chimney-viewer [an office similar to fire warden] in 1668, 1675 and 1676.° He entered 13 Mar. 1670/1 a record of lands bought of William Williams, and made further purchases.
Administration on his estate was granted, 2 Dec. 1691, to his widow Elizabeth, who by the wish of her husband was to have the whole estate during her life. The Court ordered the movables at her death to go to the daughters, and the housing and lands to the sons. The children were listed as "Josep Collier ye Eldest son,” aged 23; "mary Phelpes,” 22; Hannah, 20; Sary Collier, 18; Elizabeth Collier, 16; Abell, 14; John Collier, 12; Abigaill Collier, 9; Susannah Collier, 7; and Ann Collier, 4.
The will of Elizabeth Collyer, dated 27 Dec. 1695, proved 21 Feb. 1695/6, mentioned her sons Joseph, Abel and John, her daughter Mary Phelps of Simsbury, and other children unnamed; and desired Hon. Col. John Allyn and "my Loveing Brother Ensigne Zechariah Sandford and my Brother Robert Sandford” to be overseers of her estate.

Joseph Collyer the elder, citizen and grocer of London, dwelling in the parish of St. Saviour’s, Southwark, in his will of 21 Aug. 1648, proved 28 Sept. 1649, named his brother Abel Collyer; niece Elizabeth Bourne, daughter of his sister Elizabeth Bourne; sister Judith Warner and her daughter Susan; sister Rhoda Dorton; sister Mary Browninge in New England; sister Dorcas Slingsby; sister Rachell now the wife of Richard Parnell of Epsham; his own sons Samuel, Joseph, Abel, Benjamin and Nathaniel; and his daughter Elizabeth Savage and her daughters Hannah and Elizabeth.
The sister Mary may well have been the wife of Thomas Browning (ca. 1587-1671) of Salem, Mass. This New England connection, the Puritan names of the children, and the fact that Joseph had both a brother and a son named Abel, suggest that Joseph Collier of Hartford, who gave the name of Abel to a son, may have been a grandson or nephew of the testator of 1648.
According to Savage, the Hartford settler had been in Salisbury, Mass., where he had a daughter Mary born 9 Apr. l662. b This is an error, and it was a Mary Fletcher who was born at Salisbury on that date. Nothing is known of Joseph Collier before he settled at Hartford, and he married a Hartford girl after his arrival. He was chosen a chimney-viewer [an office similar to fire warden] in 1668, 1675 and 1676.° He entered 13 Mar. 1670/1 a record of lands bought of William Williams, and made further purchases.
Administration on his estate was granted, 2 Dec. 1691, to his widow Elizabeth, who by the wish of her husband was to have the whole estate during her life. The Court ordered the movables at her death to go to the daughters, and the housing and lands to the sons. The children were listed as "Josep Collier ye Eldest son,” aged 23; "mary Phelpes,” 22; Hannah, 20; Sary Collier, 18; Elizabeth Collier, 16; Abell, 14; John Collier, 12; Abigaill Collier, 9; Susannah Collier, 7; and Ann Collier, 4.
The will of Elizabeth Collyer, dated 27 Dec. 1695, proved 21 Feb. 1695/6, mentioned her sons Joseph, Abel and John, her daughter Mary Phelps of Simsbury, and other children unnamed; and desired Hon. Col. John Allyn and "my Loveing Brother Ensigne Zechariah Sandford and my Brother Robert Sandford” to be overseers of her estate.

"JOSEPH1 Collier, probably of the family located at Southwark, co. Middlesex, England, died at Hartford, Conn., 16 Nov. 1691; married in 1667 Elizabeth2 Sanford, born at Hartford, 19 Feb. 1645/6, buried there 31 Dec. 1695, daughter of Robert and Ann (-) Sanford.
Joseph Collyer the elder, citizen and grocer of London, dwelling in the parish of St. Saviour’s, Southwark, in his will of 21 Aug. 1648, proved 28 Sept. 1649, named his brother Abel Collyer; niece Elizabeth Bourne, daughter of his sister Elizabeth Bourne; sister Judith Warner and her daughter Susan; sister Rhoda Dorton; sister Mary Browninge in New England; sister Dorcas Slingsby; sister Rachell now the wife of Richard Parnell of Epsham; his own sons Samuel, Joseph, Abel, Benjamin and Nathaniel; and his daughter Elizabeth Savage and her daughters Hannah and Elizabeth.
The sister Mary may well have been the wife of Thomas Browning (ca. 1587-1671) of Salem, Mass. This New England connection, the Puritan names of the children, and the fact that Joseph had both a brother and a son named Abel, suggest that Joseph Collier of Hartford, who gave the name of Abel to a son, may have been a grandson or nephew of the testator of 1648.
According to Savage, the Hartford settler had been in Salisbury, Mass., where he had a daughter Mary born 9 Apr. l662. b This is an error, and it was a Mary Fletcher who was born at Salisbury on that date. Nothing is known of Joseph Collier before he settled at Hartford, and he married a Hartford girl after his arrival. He was chosen a chimney-viewer [an office similar to fire warden] in 1668, 1675 and 1676.° He entered 13 Mar. 1670/1 a record of lands bought of William Williams, and made further purchases.
Administration on his estate was granted, 2 Dec. 1691, to his widow Elizabeth, who by the wish of her husband was to have the whole estate during her life. The Court ordered the movables at her death to go to the daughters, and the housing and lands to the sons. The children were listed as "Josep Collier ye Eldest son,” aged 23; "mary Phelpes,” 22; Hannah, 20; Sary Collier, 18; Elizabeth Collier, 16; Abell, 14; John Collier, 12; Abigaill Collier, 9; Susannah Collier, 7; and Ann Collier, 4.
The will of Elizabeth Collyer, dated 27 Dec. 1695, proved 21 Feb. 1695/6, mentioned her sons Joseph, Abel and John, her daughter Mary Phelps of Simsbury, and other children unnamed; and desired Hon. Col. John Allyn and "my Loveing Brother Ensigne Zechariah Sandford and my Brother Robert Sandford” to be overseers of her estate.

i. Joseph2, b. abt. 1668; d. at Hartford, 25 Sept. 1738; m. 15 Apr. 1695, Sarah Forbes.

"Robert 1 Sanford was baptized at Stanstead Mountfitchet, co. Essex, Eng., 1 Nov. 1615, and settled early in Hartford, Conn., although not an original proprietor. His wife was named Ann, who was not a daughter of Jeremy Adams, as sometimes stated. The only clue to her identity is the statement made by Winthrop in 1667 that Robert Sanford’s wife was sister of Thomas Skidmore’s wife of Fairfield. This refers to Joanna, who married successively Richard Westcott, Nathaniel Baldwin, and Thomas Skidmore, all of Fairfield. With Westcott she lived first in Wethersfield, so she and her sister Ann were probably members of one of the families that founded the three Connecticut River towns.
Robert Sanford seems to have been in Hartford by 1645, but had no lands recorded until 1655. He was a chimney inspector, 1651/2, a leather sealer, 1658, 1659, 1660, 1662, 1666, 1667, 1668, 1671 and 1672; and a fence viewer, 1662 to 1674 inclusive except 1672.
Robert made a will which apparently he did not live to complete, as it is undated and unsigned. It gives to his son Zachariah the house and orchard that had belonged to Goodman Phillips, to be his after his mother’s decease, and to his son Robert his other dwelling house in Hartford. Legacies were given to his daughters Hannah, Abigail and Sarah. He desired his wife to have the whole of his estate for life. He died shortly before 19 June 1676, when his estate was inventoried. The probate records name the children as Zachariah Sandford (eldest son), Elizabeth Colyer, Ezekiel Sandford, Mary Campe, and Sarah, Robert, Hannah, and Abigail Sandford. The court ordered £21 to be paid to each of the five daughters.
The will of Ann Sanford, dated 12 July 1682, proved 7 Sept. 1682, directed her son Robert to pay the portions of her sons Zachary and Ezekiel and her married daughters, and gave specific legacies to her daughters Hannah and Abigail, who were apparently unmarried.
Children of Robert and Ann (--) Sanford, two recorded at Hartford:
i. Zachariah 2 , b. abt. 1644; d. at Hartford, in 1714; Ensign, north Hartford Trainband, Sept. 1689, and Lieutenant, Oct. 1697; m. Sarah Willett, daughter of Nathaniel Willett and granddaughter of Jeremy Adams.
ii. Elizabeth, b. 19 Feb. 1645/6; d. 6 Feb. 1695/6; m. in 1667, Joseph Collier.
iii. Ezekiel, b. 13 Mar. 1647/8; he was probably the Ezekiel who settled in Southampton, L. I., whose will dated 9 Dec. 1715 was proved 30 Mar. 1716; m. Hannah --.
iv. Mary, b. abt. 1650; d. between 9 July 1726 (date of will) and 28 Feb. 1726/7 (date of inventory); m. John Camp.

2. The book "Robert Sandford and his wife Ann Adams Sandford, with some of their descendants, 1615-1930," by Josephine Grozier Sandford Ware(Rutland, VT: Tuttle company, 1930):
"EZEKIEL SANDFORD (Robert1) was born Mar. 13, 1647, at Hartford, Conn., and died Feb., 1716, at Bridgehampton; New York. He married HANNAH MITCHELL, evidently a sister of John Mitchell. According to Howell, this branch of the Mitchell family appeared in Southampton about 1650. Ezekiel, the bridge builder, was the founder of the family in Southampton, and the old Sandford homestead on Bridge Lane, built by him in 1686, is the original home of the Sandford family on Long Island. Ezekiel appeared in Southampton about 1670, and a few years later, in 1678, the town voted to give him fifteen acres of land if he would remain and carry on his trade of cartwright. This he agreed to do, and on the land thus given him built his house, and house and land remained in the possession of his descendants until very recent years. In 1686, probably after he had completed his house, Ezekiel was commissioned to build the first bridge across Sag Pond. Completed about 1690, this bridge united the two villages of Sagg and Mecox, and from it that locality became known as Bridge Hampton. Near this bridge and the road leading to it, the first church in Bridgehampton was built. The present iron bridge was built about 1900. That apprentices were not always satisfactory then as now, and the master's patience sometimes had an end, is shown by this record of 1694: "Ezekiel Sandford came and did declare to me as Just. of the Peace that his man Edward was not capable of learning a trade and desired me to enter itt upon Record.” Town Records, Vol 2, p. 319. Ezekiel's will, dated Dec 9, 1715, and proved Mar. 30, 1716, is given in N. Y. Hist. Soc. Coll., Vol. 26. He leaves a house and various parcels of land to each of his older sons, to his younger son several pieces of land, and to his daughter £30 and land. Children: i. Ezekiel3, b. Apr. 9, 1680; m. (1) Elizabeth Moore; m. (2) Dorcas. ii. Thomas, b. Aug. 9, 1689. iii. Zachary. iv. Abigail. References: Adams, "Memorials of Old Bridgehampton" and “History of Southampton."

Robert Sanford seems to have been in Hartford by 1645, but had no lands recorded until 1655. He was a chimney inspector, 1651/2, a leather sealer, 1658, 1659, 1660, 1662, 1666, 1667, 1668, 1671 and 1672; and a fence viewer, 1662 to 1674 inclusive except 1672.
Robert made a will which apparently he did not live to complete, as it is undated and unsigned. It gives to his son Zachariah the house and orchard that had belonged to Goodman Phillips, to be his after his mother’s decease, and to his son Robert his other dwelling house in Hartford. Legacies were given to his daughters Hannah, Abigail and Sarah. He desired his wife to have the whole of his estate for life. He died shortly before 19 June 1676, when his estate was inventoried. The probate records name the children as Zachariah Sandford (eldest son), Elizabeth Colyer, Ezekiel Sandford, Mary Campe, and Sarah, Robert, Hannah, and Abigail Sandford. The court ordered £21 to be paid to each of the five daughters.
The will of Ann Sanford, dated 12 July 1682, proved 7 Sept. 1682, directed her son Robert to pay the portions of her sons Zachary and Ezekiel and her married daughters, and gave specific legacies to her daughters Hannah and Abigail, who were apparently unmarried.
Children of Robert and Ann (--) Sanford, two recorded at Hartford:
i. Zachariah 2 , b. abt. 1644; d. at Hartford, in 1714; Ensign, north Hartford Trainband, Sept. 1689, and Lieutenant, Oct. 1697; m. Sarah Willett, daughter of Nathaniel Willett and granddaughter of Jeremy Adams.
ii. Elizabeth, b. 19 Feb. 1645/6; d. 6 Feb. 1695/6; m. in 1667, Joseph Collier.
iii. Ezekiel, b. 13 Mar. 1647/8; he was probably the Ezekiel who settled in Southampton, L. I., whose will dated 9 Dec. 1715 was proved 30 Mar. 1716; m. Hannah --.
iv. Mary, b. abt. 1650; d. between 9 July 1726 (date of will) and 28 Feb. 1726/7 (date of inventory); m. John Camp.

2. The book "Robert Sandford and his wife Ann Adams Sandford, with some of their descendants, 1615-1930," by Josephine Grozier Sandford Ware(Rutland, VT: Tuttle company, 1930):
"EZEKIEL SANDFORD (Robert1) was born Mar. 13, 1647, at Hartford, Conn., and died Feb., 1716, at Bridgehampton; New York. He married HANNAH MITCHELL, evidently a sister of John Mitchell. According to Howell, this branch of the Mitchell family appeared in Southampton about 1650. Ezekiel, the bridge builder, was the founder of the family in Southampton, and the old Sandford homestead on Bridge Lane, built by him in 1686, is the original home of the Sandford family on Long Island. Ezekiel appeared in Southampton about 1670, and a few years later, in 1678, the town voted to give him fifteen acres of land if he would remain and carry on his trade of cartwright. This he agreed to do, and on the land thus given him built his house, and house and land remained in the possession of his descendants until very recent years. In 1686, probably after he had completed his house, Ezekiel was commissioned to build the first bridge across Sag Pond. Completed about 1690, this bridge united the two villages of Sagg and Mecox, and from it that locality became known as Bridge Hampton. Near this bridge and the road leading to it, the first church in Bridgehampton was built. The present iron bridge was built about 1900. That apprentices were not always satisfactory then as now, and the master's patience sometimes had an end, is shown by this record of 1694: "Ezekiel Sandford came and did declare to me as Just. of the Peace that his man Edward was not capable of learning a trade and desired me to enter itt upon Record.” Town Records, Vol 2, p. 319. Ezekiel's will, dated Dec 9, 1715, and proved Mar. 30, 1716, is given in N. Y. Hist. Soc. Coll., Vol. 26. He leaves a house and various parcels of land to each of his older sons, to his younger son several pieces of land, and to his daughter £30 and land. Children: i. Ezekiel3, b. Apr. 9, 1680; m. (1) Elizabeth Moore; m. (2) Dorcas. ii. Thomas, b. Aug. 9, 1689. iii. Zachary. iv. Abigail. References: Adams, "Memorials of Old Bridgehampton" and “History of Southampton."

"Robert 1 Sanford was baptized at Stanstead Mountfitchet, co. Essex, Eng., 1 Nov. 1615, and settled early in Hartford, Conn., although not an original proprietor. His wife was named Ann, who was not a daughter of Jeremy Adams, as sometimes stated. The only clue to her identity is the statement made by Winthrop in 1667 that Robert Sanford’s wife was sister of Thomas Skidmore’s wife of Fairfield. This refers to Joanna, who married successively Richard Westcott, Nathaniel Baldwin, and Thomas Skidmore, all of Fairfield. With Westcott she lived first in Wethersfield, so she and her sister Ann were probably members of one of the families that founded the three Connecticut River towns.
Robert Sanford seems to have been in Hartford by 1645, but had no lands recorded until 1655. He was a chimney inspector, 1651/2, a leather sealer, 1658, 1659, 1660, 1662, 1666, 1667, 1668, 1671 and 1672; and a fence viewer, 1662 to 1674 inclusive except 1672.
Robert made a will which apparently he did not live to complete, as it is undated and unsigned. It gives to his son Zachariah the house and orchard that had belonged to Goodman Phillips, to be his after his mother’s decease, and to his son Robert his other dwelling house in Hartford. Legacies were given to his daughters Hannah, Abigail and Sarah. He desired his wife to have the whole of his estate for life. He died shortly before 19 June 1676, when his estate was inventoried. The probate records name the children as Zachariah Sandford (eldest son), Elizabeth Colyer, Ezekiel Sandford, Mary Campe, and Sarah, Robert, Hannah, and Abigail Sandford. The court ordered £21 to be paid to each of the five daughters.
The will of Ann Sanford, dated 12 July 1682, proved 7 Sept. 1682, directed her son Robert to pay the portions of her sons Zachary and Ezekiel and her married daughters, and gave specific legacies to her daughters Hannah and Abigail, who were apparently unmarried.
Children of Robert and Ann (--) Sanford, two recorded at Hartford:
i. Zachariah 2 , b. abt. 1644; d. at Hartford, in 1714; Ensign, north Hartford Trainband, Sept. 1689, and Lieutenant, Oct. 1697; m. Sarah Willett, daughter of Nathaniel Willett and granddaughter of Jeremy Adams.

"JOSEPH1 Collier, probably of the family located at Southwark, co. Middlesex, England, died at Hartford, Conn., 16 Nov. 1691; married in 1667 Elizabeth2 Sanford, born at Hartford, 19 Feb. 1645/6, buried there 31 Dec. 1695, daughter of Robert and Ann (-) Sanford.
Joseph Collyer the elder, citizen and grocer of London, dwelling in the parish of St. Saviour’s, Southwark, in his will of 21 Aug. 1648, proved 28 Sept. 1649, named his brother Abel Collyer; niece Elizabeth Bourne, daughter of his sister Elizabeth Bourne; sister Judith Warner and her daughter Susan; sister Rhoda Dorton; sister Mary Browninge in New England; sister Dorcas Slingsby; sister Rachell now the wife of Richard Parnell of Epsham; his own sons Samuel, Joseph, Abel, Benjamin and Nathaniel; and his daughter Elizabeth Savage and her daughters Hannah and Elizabeth.
The sister Mary may well have been the wife of Thomas Browning (ca. 1587-1671) of Salem, Mass. This New England connection, the Puritan names of the children, and the fact that Joseph had both a brother and a son named Abel, suggest that Joseph Collier of Hartford, who gave the name of Abel to a son, may have been a grandson or nephew of the testator of 1648.
According to Savage, the Hartford settler had been in Salisbury, Mass., where he had a daughter Mary born 9 Apr. l662. b This is an error, and it was a Mary Fletcher who was born at Salisbury on that date. Nothing is known of Joseph Collier before he settled at Hartford, and he married a Hartford girl after his arrival. He was chosen a chimney-viewer [an office similar to fire warden] in 1668, 1675 and 1676.° He entered 13 Mar. 1670/1 a record of lands bought of William Williams, and made further purchases.
Administration on his estate was granted, 2 Dec. 1691, to his widow Elizabeth, who by the wish of her husband was to have the whole estate during her life. The Court ordered the movables at her death to go to the daughters, and the housing and lands to the sons. The children were listed as "Josep Collier ye Eldest son,” aged 23; "mary Phelpes,” 22; Hannah, 20; Sary Collier, 18; Elizabeth Collier, 16; Abell, 14; John Collier, 12; Abigaill Collier, 9; Susannah Collier, 7; and Ann Collier, 4.
The will of Elizabeth Collyer, dated 27 Dec. 1695, proved 21 Feb. 1695/6, mentioned her sons Joseph, Abel and John, her daughter Mary Phelps of Simsbury, and other children unnamed; and desired Hon. Col. John Allyn and "my Loveing Brother Ensigne Zechariah Sandford and my Brother Robert Sandford” to be overseers of her estate.

3. Many genealogies get it twisted that 'Ann' is Ann Adams, but that is disproved:
"Some sources claim that Jeremy Adams had another daughter who married Robert Sanford, to justify the bequest by Adams to his 'grandson' Zachary Sanford, but this is not correct, since Zachary Sanford had married Sarah Willett, daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah (Adams) Willett. This is made clear in the dispute between the Greenhill and Adams heir over the estate of Thomas Greenhill, when Zachary Sanford makes the claim 'in right of his wife'"--Great Migration Begins.

MARRIAGE:
1. John Winner apparently had two marriages.
The first marriage is per "New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800," by William Nelson: "Winner, John, Northampton, and Hannah Carr, Northampton, 1776 April 1." According to "The Carr Book," by Arthur R. Carr, 1947, Hannah was b. 10 Sep 1759 to Caleb Carr and she died 9 Aug 1778 in Mt. Holly (Northampton) in childbirth when their son Samuel was born 9 Aug 1778. The Carr book says he died three days later. The marriage was apparently out of Quaker meeting because we find in FHL book 974.961 K2m v.1 "Early Church Records of Burlington County, New Jersey," by Charlotte D. Meldrum, a reference to only one Winner in the entire book, which is in the Minutes of Mount Holly Monthly Meeting. "5th da, 4th mo, 1777... Hannah Winner, produced a paper acknowledging trouble of mind, for going out in marriage." We also find Hannah's father Caleb with 250 acres in the same area in which Abraham (but no other Winners) live (per Rootsweb accessed 21 Nov 2011: "Burlington County NJ - NJGenWeb; Early Tax List - Northampton Township, 1779"). The Carr book reports indicates he died 11 Sep 1783 and his buried next to his daughter. In any case this all places John Winner in Northampton just prior to his being in Great Egg Harbor.
John's second marriage is to Millicent Mapes for whom we have on record a will (and codicil) naming her three sons. We also have on record a will for her father Joseph Mapes in which he names his dau. Millicent Winner, his son-in-law John Winner, and his grandson Joseph Winner. Joseph Mapes was prominent in the Quaker community of Great Egg Harbor. John and Millicent has three sons: John, Joseph, and Amos. We have the following marriage records for two of these three sons (nothing found on Amos). FHL film 1425085, it. 6, "Gloucester County, New Jersey, Marriage Records," by H. Stanley Craig, 1930:
-Joseph Winner and Millicent Caveller, 2-2-1803.
-John Winner and Abigail Doughty, 5-9-1812.
-(As a side note, the same marriage records also has "Samuel Winner and Mary Thorn, 3-30-1813." Could it be John's son Samuel from his marriage to Hannah Carr who did not perhaps die three days after his mother as "The Carr Book" would have us believe? Assuming an age of 21 at marriage, then Samuel would have to be born no later than 1792 which works with John and Hannah's son. I am not aware of any other Samuel in the second generation of our New Jersey Winners. More research needed to see if he could possibly a third generation of one of the three NJ Winners.)

2. 20 May 2007 web posting from Karen Winner : "At Swarthmore Quaker Archives I found a card that lists the children of Caleb Carr and his wife Sarah. There were 8 kids listed. Mary, Job, Samuel, Isaac, Hannah, Samuel, Sarah & Rebeckah. What's interesting about this is that there are two Samuels. The first Samuel was born in 1754 and lives until 1832. Hannah was born in 1759 and died in 1778. But the second Samuel, listed after her, has no dates listed for birth or death. This could mean that this was Hannah's son and they both died in childbirth? Though when I first saw this card I took it to mean that the child ended up living with her parents. Why I thought that I don't know!"
