Richard Stockton(1). He was married twice. The first wife of John
Stockton(2) was Mary Leeds (Born April 19, 1685 - Died about 1715) whom he
married in 1704. Mary was the daughter of Daniel and Dorothy (Young) Leeds.
Daniel Leeds was a surveyor - General of West Jersey for 29 years, and his
maps are still extant. He was also a publisher of almanacs, several of which
are preserved in libraries and collections of historical societies. He was a
member of the New Jersey assembly, one of the governor's council for five
years, and a judge of the supreme court of New Jersey. He was three times
married, John Stockton(2)'s wife being his daughter by his second wife, who
was Dorothy Young, daughter of Robert Young.John Stockton(2) married his second wife Ann Ogbor, widow of John Ogborn.
She died at Burlington on July 25, 1745, at the age of 68 years. John's
will, dated August 31, 1745, and approved April 4, 1747, directed that his
property should be equally divided between his sons, Daniel and David, who
were to pay certain legacies to their sisters.John Stockton(2) accompanied his father from Flushing, New York to
Springfield, New Jersey, in 1690. During the celebrated controversy between
the Society of Friends and George Keith, he became a disciple of the latter's
party and, with many others, went over to the Church of England. He was
baptized at St. Ann's (now St. Mary's) Church, Burlington, New Jersey on
September 24, 1704. The homestead on which he lived and died was a farm of
400 acres belonging to the Annanicken estate, which had been given him by his
father, about the time of his first marriage. He also possessed a
two-and-thirtieth part of a proprietorship of land in West Jersey which was
conveyed to him, in December 1713, by his father-in-law, Daniel Leeds, as
part of his wife's dowry. It is evident that he had the confidence of those
who knew him, for on August 27, 1705, Margaret Waus, of Philadelphia,
appointed her friend, John Stockton(2), of Oneanickon, attorney for the sale
of considerable property in West Jersey.Children of John Stockton(2) and Mary (Leeds) Stockton

Shinn, on March 6, 1693. Thomas died November 15, 1694, leaving one son,
Thomas, and a posthumous son, Samuel Shinn. This is shown in a deed of
trust, dated December 28, 1697, which recites that "Mary Shinn, of Burlington
County, widow of Thomas Shinn, deceased, late of said county", conveys to
"Richard Stockton, Jr., of said county, brother-in-law (brother) of said
Mary, certain lands, and "a Negro boy, Tabby, for the use of Thomas and
Samuel Shinn, sons of said Mary, given her by her late husband, Thomas Shinn,
deceased, by will dated November 1694". It also recites that said Mary was
"about to be married to Silas Crispin, of Pennsylvania".Mary Stockton(2) Shinn was married the second time in 1697 to Silas Crispin,
son of Real-Admiral William Crispin, of the British Navy, by his wife, Ann
Jasper, daughter of William Jasper, and English merchant of Amsterdam, and
sister to Margaret, wife of Admiral Sir William Penn, and mother of William
Penn, of Pennsylvania. Silas Crispin was therefore a cousin, on his mother's
side of William Penn. Silas Crispin married his first wife Hester, or
Esther, daughter of Captain Thomas Holme, surveyor-general of Pennsylvania,
in 1683. The next year he went to live on a 500 acre tract of land he had
taken up on Pennypack Creek, a short distance above Philadelphia. Silas and
his first wife had eight children, two sons and six daughters. The first
Mrs. Crispin died in 1696.Silas and Mary (Stockton) Shinn had six children, all in Pennsylvania. Silas
died May 31, 1711 and left a will dated May 5, 1711 which made Mary his
executrix and left her his personal estate. His plantation went, under the
law, to Thomas Crispin (his eldest son by his first wife), and the other
children of his first wife were the heirs of the large estate of their
maternal grandfather, Captain Holme. Mary (Stockton) Crispin returned to New
Jersey after the death of her second husband, and was married there a third
time, in 1714, to Richard Ridgway, Jr., the stepson of her sister Abigail who
was the wife of Richard Ridgway. They had no children.(For the record of the Crispin family which follows, the compiler is indebted
to Rev. William Frost Crispin, D.D., of Akron, Ohio, who very generously
allowed them to be copied from his book, Captain William Crispin and the
Crispin Family).Children of Mary Stockton(2) and Thomas Shinn

Richard Stockton(2). He married Abigail Phillips, daughter of Philip and
Hannah (Stockton) Phillips, on February 21, 1729. Hannah (Stockton) Phillips
was John Stockton(3)'s great half aunt (if one believes as is most probable
that Richard Stockton(2) was not the son of Abigail Stockton, so that would
make John Stockton(3)'s wife his half-first cousin, once removed). Abigail
Stockton died on September 15, 1757 and John Stockton(3) on May 20, 1758.
Richard Stockton(2) was for many years one of the presiding judges of the
court of Common Pleas of the County of Somerset, New Jersey, under the Royal
Government. He was a man of education and influence in the early history of
New Jersey, and was universally respected. He inherited that part of
father's property described in the will as "the homestead plantation", later
called "Morven", and conveyed it to his son, Richard Stockton(4), known as
"The Signer". He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, and
he served as an elder. He was instrumental in securing to Princeton the
College of New Jersey, and was a friend and liberal patron of the college.
With Thomas Leonard and John Hornor he gave the necessary bond to secure the
conveyance of the lands required. The records show that on September, 1754,
the first corner stone of the New Jersey College was laid in the
northwesterly corner of the cellar by Thomas Leonard, Esq., John Stockton(3),
Esq., John Hornor, Esq., Mr. William Worth, the mason that built the brick
work of the college, etc. This was the beginning of the College of New
Jersey which was later renamed Princeton College and then Princeton
University.Having made a deed in his lifetime to his eldest son, Richard, for the
eastern part of the homestead plantation, called "Morven", he devised by his
will that portion lying on the north side of Main Street (also called the
King's Highway) to his second son, John, and directed that the land lying
south of that street should be equally divided between his two sons, Philip
and Samuel Witham Stockton. These four sons all became distinguished men,
the eldest known to fame as Richard "The Signer" being the best known.1. Richard Stockton(4) Born October 3, 1730 - Died February 28,
