Richard "The Emigrant" Stockton"

Richard Stockton and his wife Abigail were the founders of the New Jersey branch of the Stockton family. Richard was born about 1635, probably in England. They are buried on their property Richard purchased from George Hutchinson. This property is located on Annaricken Brook in Springfield Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Annaricken was also known as Annaniken, Oneanickon, Oneakiekon, and An-na-nicken. There are horse farms located on what was Richard Stockton's property.

History of the Stockton Family
by J.W. Stockton
"that the tract of land purchased by Richard Stockton in West Jersey was originally known by the Indian name of An-na-nicken; that it was over two miles in length and one in width; and that the mansion house of the late James Shreve is on the site of the house built and occupied by Mr. Stockton until his death."

At Flushing on 22 Apr 1665, Col. Nicolls (Nichols), as governor of NY, commissioned Richard Stockton a Lieutenant of Horse. On 9 Apr 1669, the then governor of New York, Francis Lovelace, gave under this hand: "Whereas I intimated lately that I did approve of Richard Stockton to be Lieutenant of the Company of Foot, but I am since informed he was before enlisted and engaged in the Horse service, and I have thought fit to acquit him either as Officer or otherwise from the Foot service.

Journal of John Bowne,
1650 - 1694
"to enquyer for Richards stoktons Ounkel {uncle} his name is Thomas Stockton a docker of fisick liueing in Cole harber in or nere london."

John Bowne was a neighbor of Richard "The Emigrant" Stockton in what was then Vlissingen, Long Island, New Netherland, now Flushing, Long Island, New York. John Bowne's Journal includes information about life in Flushing and his Quaker missions to England.

It appears that Richard "The Emigrant" Stockton requested John Bowne enquire about his uncle Thomas Stockton who lived in "Cole harbor" in or near London. "Cole harbor" is probably the district of Coldharbour that is in the center of London. John Bowne shows Richard's uncle Thomas Stockton as a "docker of fisick." In the 1600's a Doctor of Medicine was known as a "Doctor of Phyic."

Coldharbour was destroyed by the 1666 Great Fire of London.
