Is Readington, Hunterdon, New Jersey the location name at the time of his death?

It appears to have officially been "Reading" at first rather than "Readington" though any records I have seen say Readington. Other than that minor quibble, yes - the location name seems to be correct. Hunterdon County was formed in 1714 and the township in 1730
