John was born in 1633. John Woolston ... He passed away in 1698.
The baptism record of John was recorded by the parish records of Irthlingborough, giving his parents as John Wolston and his wife Anne.[1]https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/28621744?h=671f10
Because of the following, the parentage of John Woolston, b. 1633 is in question:
JohnThe Senior was the Uncle of John Woolston, sometimes called The Junior. The Genealogical and Memorial History of the State of New Jersey account of the details of John Woolston appear to be partially incorrect in that Hannah Cooper was married to John The Senior (Woolston-63) and not John The Junior (Woolston-56). Don't know if the details on the children of John The Junior are accurate. Still researching on this relationship.Priest-412 23:02, 3 August 2014 (EDT) The book "Genealogical and Memorial History of the State of New Jersey : a book of the achievements of her people in the making of a commonwealth and the founding of a nation" states that John Woolston, the progenitor of the Woolston family in America, arrived with William Penn about 1668 and was one of the first settlers of Burlington, NJ. Much of the account of him was incorrect in this book as it attached the wrong children to him. It was correct in his marriage as John Woolston did marry Hannah Cooper, the daughter of William Cooper, in Burlington in 1681. This book is also unsourced. (26 Sept 2018)
