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.

Notes:

From Life Sketch:

The were members of the Salem Friends. They suffered cruelly and they lived to see the persecution turned away so the Friends could meet in peace. Samuel, with Daniel and Josiah Southwick, was trustee for Salem Monthly Meeting in the conveyance to them of the first meeting house and lands on Oct. 13,1690. On Oct. 3, 1716 this meeting house was ordered sold. Samuel served as constable in Salem and was warned for militia duty in April of 1677-8, but there is no record that he was called.

Notes:

Daniel and Provided, a son and daughter of Lawrence Southwick, were fined 10 pounds for absence from church and for siding with the Quakers. Being unable to pay the fine, their parents' estates having been reduced by fines and distraints, they were ordered to be sold for bond-slaves, the county treasurer's being empowered " to sell the said persons to any of the English nation at Virginia or Barbadoes, to answer the fines." But no ship- master could be induced to take them. It was from this son, Daniel, that Mrs. Ayer was directly descended. Under the title of Cassandra Southwick, Whittier has described the sublime courage of Provided Southwick, which was born of faith that refused to yield to persecution and recant, and how she passed the night in prison before the day set for carrying out the diabolical sentence that had been passed upon her :' All night I sat unsleeping, for I knew that on the morrow The ruler and the cruel priest would mock me in my sorrow ; Dragged to their place of market and bargained for and sold, Like a lamb before the shambles, like a heifer from the fold ! " He tells what temptations beset her, alone in her wretched cell, to purchase freedom by renouncing what she had been taught was the way of salvation, and how these gathered force as she contemplated her future : " And what a fate awaits thee ! a sadly toiling slave, Dragging the slowly lengthening chain of bondage to the grave ! Think of thy woman's nature, subdued in hopeless thrall, The easy prey of any, the scoff and scorn of all ! " The poet describes how her faith finally triumphed over the weakness of the flesh : " Bless the Lord for all his mercies ! for the peace and love I felt, Like dew of Hermon holy hill, upon my spirit melt ; When ' Get behind me, Satan ! ' was the language of my heart, And I felt the evil tempter with all his doubts depart. In the morning her prison doors were opened, and with the sheriff at her side and a wondering throng at her heels, she was.marched down to the beach : " Then to the stout sea-captains the sheriff, turning, said, ' Which of ye, worthy seamen, will take this Quaker maid ? In the Isle of fair Barbadoes, or on Virginia's shore, You may hold her at a higher price than Indian girl or More.' " Grim and silent stood the captains ; and when again he cried, ' Speak out, my worthy seamen ! ' no voice, no sign replied ; But I felt a hard hand press my own, and kind words met my ear,' God bless thee and preserve thee, my gentle girl and dear ! ' " A weight seemed lifted from my heart, a pitying friend was nigh, I felt it in his hard right hand, and saw it in his eye ; And when again the sheriff spoke, that voice so kind to me, Growled back it's stormy answer like the roaring of the sea :" ' Pile my ship with bars of silver pack with coins of Spanish gold,From keel piece up to deck plank, the roomage of her hold- By the living God who made me I would sooner in your bay Sink ship and crew and cargo, than bear this child away ! ' " ' Well answered, worthy captain, shame on their cruel laws ! 'Ran through the crowd in murmurs loud the people's just applause. ' Like the herdsman of Tekoa, in Israel of old, Shall we see the poor and righteous again for silver sold ? ' "
