Richard Stockton (c1635-1707)

The corrected information I posted last May, was neatly removed in June.

The data I posted came from the 1881 book by J.W. Stockton, disproved in 1888 by William Francis Cregar, The Stockton Family of England and the United States.

Name: Richard Stockton (c1606-1707) + - {Richard's birth and birth place have never been documented. It is unlikely he lived 101 years. His Will was proven in Oct. 1707 in Burlington Co., NJ] - Birth: ABT 1606 in near River Trees, Cheshire, Eng. - Death: 10 Oct 1707 in Springfield Twp,. Burlington County, New Jersey - Immigration to America: BEFORE 8 Nov 1656 - Will: 25 Jan 1704/1705 Springfield Burlington Co NJ   - Occupation: COMMISSIONED LIEUTENANT OF HORSE - Probate: 10 Oct 1707 Springfield Burlington Co NJ

You have made him, once again, the child of 10 year old parents, in "River Trees" England, a place that does not exist, and dying at 101 years old. Death and Probate do not happen on the same day!

Congratulations!

There are no sources given for any of the data you have posted. Common sense makes it obvious that the given dates are IMPOSSIBLE.

Every time I stop by this site, I find another reason to leave in a hurry. It is just one more collection of undocumented genealogical garbage.
