Notes

  • Note*: "...William Mullen ('Mullin') wrote his will on December 18, 1765, he was living in Trenton...The remainder of his estate, went to his sisters, who were Rebecca, wife of George Reading Esq., Sarah, widow of Thomas Biles, Elizabeth and Mary Mullin. The will was recorded on May 21, 1766."
    "Sometime between 1773, when David Brearly gave notice of his petition for new deeds, and 1777, Matthias Simcock purchased the tavern lot and adjacent land. There is no deed recorded for the sale, but on March 19, 1777, Mathias Simcock of Bucks County mortgaged a lot of 18 acres and another of 6 acres to John Mullen’s survivors (Sarah Petit, Isaac Decow and David Brearly Jr. of Monmouth County).15 As a reminder, John Mullen’s daughter Mary married Isaac DeCou; David Brearly married John Mullen’s daughter Elizabeth; and his daughter Sarah married first Thomas Biles (died 1754) and second John Ely (died 1769). It appears from the mortgage that Sarah’s third husband was a Petit."2
