I know Gerry Green seemed to think that when Frederic Buckelew (1676-1754) wrote his will in 1753 that when he listed his son George in the Will that he was still alive and feels that this was a different George that died in 1739. I could interpret this to mean that he wanted the family of George to know that the land he had left to George still belonged to them and unlike the land of William, also deceased, would not be sold. Who really knows?

I have found a lot of Dutch names on various passenger lists, but nothing that sounds like Buckelew. Still looking!

In 1717 when George was 19, he married Sarah, in Cheesaquakes, Middlesex Co., NJ. Sarah died in 1748.

1741, Aug Term, Supreme Court Case, Middlesex Co., NJ: In the narration in the Trespass case, Sarah Buckaloe, by her att'y, Fenwick Lyell, complains that John Courtney, 1740, came to her house at Perth Amboy and deflowered her daughter, Priscilla Buckaloe, rendering her with child.

107 vii. Susanna (? Sarah)
108 viii. Sarah

28. Ann Buckalew. Born in 1700 in Perth Amboy, Middlesex Co., NJ.

1731, 25 Dec; Middlesex Co., NJ; Marriage: John Buckalew, Amboy, Yeoman, to Isabell Dove, of Lower Freehold, spinster. From Gen. Mag. of NJ, Vol 15, p 96, From Wm. Dobbins. [also NJ Archives, Vol. 22, p.36].

1762, 14 April: Possibly the John Buckalew of Middlesex Co., NJ, who married Hester Praal of Staten Island on this date. Would be a subsequent marriage for John.

NJ Marriage Bonds; FHLC 0888701-0888710, Vol. B (888701) #307; John BUCKALEW (BUCKELEW Jr) and James BUCKELEW, both of Middlesex County... [bound to]... Josiah HARDY, Governor... 500 pounds... 14 April 1762 ... John BUCKALEW... obtained license of marriage for himself and for Hester PRAAL of Staten Island, spinster... [w] John SMYTH

1775, 5 June, Will (probated 6 Sep 1787) [NJ Archives, Vol. 35, p. 63]: Refers to him as a yeoman of Middlesex Co., NJ. His children are identified in the will. Left land "...for eldest sons Abraham, James and John. Son Thomas 80 acres of my farm. Son Samuel a farm near Inglishtown of 169 acres. Son Frederick, place where I live, and he is to support my wife. (to) Daughter Priscilla, a negro. Daughter Jane, a wench. Daughter Issable and my three grandchildren, the issue of my daughter Mary deceased, 100 pounds which I have against my son John." It is fascinating that they had come to America to avoid persecution and yet felt no compunction about owning a negro slave and an indentured servant who could be left as property in a will.

One source says that John was born in Scotland on 14 Feb 1705, acquired land as a young man. At age 26 he married Isabel Dove whose family had also come in 1715 on the Caledonia, a ship that carried hundreds of families from Scotland to America from 1674 to 1715. The remains of the ship were still visible in a river feeding the Raritan Bay as late as 1850.

Christen: Date: 1705
