         The Woolverton name is an English name.   " Charles Woolverton ", the senior family member currently known, was a Quaker and a personal friend of " William Penn ".
         " Charles Woolverton ", along with his two brothers Gabriel and John, are known to have emigrated from Deal, England in a ship that was part of the approximately " 20 " ships lead by the " Welcome " which was " William Penn's " flagship.
         The fleet left England on August 31, 1682 and arrived at the mouth of the Delaware River ( near New Castle, Delaware ) on October 27, 1682 which means they completed the Atlantic Ocean crossing in 57 days.   Some the ships, including the " Welcome ", continued up the Delaware River and eventually landed at Upland ( now Chester, Pennsylvania ) on the site that had been chosen by Thomas Holme, Penn's surveyor general.
         Some of the other ships in the fleet continued up the coast and eventually landed near what is now the New York City area.   " Charles Woolverton " first settled on Long Island, where he stayed for serveral years, and then moved in ca. 1689 to what is now the Burlington County, New Jersey area.
         The voyage did not end without incident;  about 1/3 of all passengers on the fleets ships passed away of smallpox.   On October 28, 1682, the ship finally anchored at Upland ( now Chester, Pennsylvania ) on the site that had been chosen by Thomas Holme, Penn's surveyor general.

Chadwick .. Biddle .. Pettit,

         Charles Woolverton ( 1 ) is believed to have been born in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England in ca. 1660.   He emagrated from England to America in ca. 1682 from Dorsetshire, England with two brothers, Gabriel and John.   The sailed on a ship that was part of a fleet of " 20 " ships lead by the " Welcome " a William Penn flagship ( over 20 ships total were included in the fleet ).   His parents are not known at this time.   After a 57 day journey they first landed at New Castle, Delaware.
         From there some of the ships continued up the Delaware River and others went farther up the coast to New York.   Charles ( 1 ) sailed up to New York and first settled in Long Island where he stayed for several years.   Its currently unknown what exactly happened to both of his brother, Gabriel and John, after the journey.
         Charles ( 1 ) left the Long Island, New York area sometime in the mid-1680's and moved to Pennsylvania across the Delaware River from current day Burlington County, New Jersey.   In ca. 1689 he moved across the river and ended up settling in New Beverly ( currently Burlington ) New Jersey.   It is believed that he first met his future wife Mary in New Jersey and it is also where he first appears as a land-owner.   He married " Mary Elizabeth Leet Chadwick ", daughter of John and Elizabeth (_____) Chadwick of Burlington, New Jersey.   She was born in ca. 1672.
         It is noted that he first purchased 100 acres of land from one " William Biddle " on August 20, 1693 in New Beverly ( currently Burlington ) New Jersey.   That deed named the purchaser as " Charles Woolverton of the County of Burlington, Province of West Jersey, Husbandman ".   During his life time there are sixteen transactions made concerning land that are recorded ( see some of these transactions noted below ).
         It is known that Charles ( 1 ) was a devout man based on the inscriptions made by him in his family Bible.   The bible was purchased from Hugh Huddy for thirty shillings.   It was printed in Geneva, Switzerland on April 10, 1560.   Charles ( 1 ) wrote the following in the Bible which must also be his Last Will & Testament:

This I give to my eldest son, Charles,
that he may learn the just man's steps
when I am dead and gone.
For in my life much love I had To read this Holy Book,
and therefore leave it to my son
that he in it may look.
For 'tis the path the just man trod
this Holy Book leads to,
and he that truly fears the Lord
the mysteries out shall know.
God give thee grace my son,
this Book to look upon.
This Book I give to my eldest son,
God give him grace to use it,
that he may give his heart and mind
rightly for to use it.
Whoever shall defraud him of it,
will violate my Will,
and he that wrongs the Fatherless assuredly do ill.
This counsel in my life I wrote,
mistakes to prevent and leave it in
this Holy Book a standing monument.

         The name of the wife of Charles (1)  ~  Mary Chadwick, appears in deeds, and three of these transactions make it explicit, particularly one under the date of 1702 in which Charles (1) is Grantee for fifty acres of land near Mount Carmel, in Burlington County, New Jersey from John Dixon and Elizabeth his wife ( the late wife of John Chadwick ).   This land was part of a tract purchased by John Chadwick on March 18, 1689.   Charles (1) later sold this land back to John Dixon on July 20, 1704.
         The largest tract of land purchased by Charles (1), and important because it led to the removal of his family from Burlington County, was made by a deed bearing the date of March 2, 1714.   He purchased from " William Biddle ", who he had purchased land from previously, 1,665 acres in Amwell Township ( Rosemount, New Jersey area) for the price of 350 pounds silver.
         It is known that Charles (1) remained there the rest of his life and raised his family.   This land is noted as being next to John Reading's land.   John served on the State Supreme Court along with Charles (1).   John Reading's son later inherited this father's land and he served as a Governor of New Jersey. ( See info on Governor John Reading )
         Charles (1) is noted in the New Jersey State Records as being a Judge of the New Jersey State Supreme Court.   He also farmed the land that he purchased.   Charles (1) passed away in ca. 1746 at about the age of 86 years and his wife Mary passed away in ca. 1741 at about the age of 69 years.   The family Bible was last reported in the possession of a Woolverton family member, the Rev. F. J. Tomlinson, Pittstown, New Jersey.   Together Charles (1) and Mary had 9 children.
