bullet  General Notes

~~~~~~~~~~~ below is from Dennis Collver's www.collver.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John Colver III was baptized on July 7, 1700 at Groton Connecticut and was married to Freelove Lamb the daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth Lamb of Groton or Stoningham, Connecticut. He died about 1732-33 at Blackriver, Hunterdon County, New Jersey and was buried at the family cemetery near Chester, Morris County, New Jersey. There was several other Collvers and Lambs in the area and they apparently didn't ever live with his father on the Mountain, so it isn't clear as to whether he was a Rogerene as well.

He was a leather worker by trade (cordwinder, shoe maker) and had left little to his family. It is said that Freelove returned to Connecticut and her children were either raised by uncles or her father (As was the custom of the time).

Children of John and Freelove:

John Culver, born 1728, went to live with Maternal grandfather after fathers death.

Jabez Culver, born 19 Jun 1731.

Jonas/Jonahs Culver, born 1733.

Another researcher says that "It seems likely that John would be buried in the old Rogerine cemetery close to Lake Hoptacong. This is where the Rogerine colony from CT was living in 1733."
