Web Notes notes for Henry PITTENGER
Here is some information from "The Harvey Book" by Oscar Jewell Harvey, and from some other sources:
Henry Pittenger (b. probably about 1695), a younger son of Richard, resided many years in the township of Hillsborough, Somerset County. His wife was Mary (???), of Dutch descent, and they were the parents of:
i. Richard,
ii. Henry,
iii. John
iv. Abraham
v. Susana (espoused to Roelof Van Duyne)
vi. Mary (espoused to Peter Petersen) and
vii. Cietye (espoused to Isaac Smalley)
The abovenamed Henry Pittenger, Sr., "Yeoman," executed at Hillsborough 25 April 1774, his last will, which was probated at Bridgewater 13 Jan., 1775, and letters testamentary were granted to the widow Mary and iii. John by "His Excellency Governor Franklin."
To his wife the testator bequeathed the "sole use and possession of all my real and personal estate during the time that she remains my widow; and in case my said wife should happen again to marry, then to have one of the Negro Wenches which she shall have to serve her during the Term of her Natural Life; and after the decease of my said wife, the said Negro Wench shall Return (if living) to my said Estate again."
Upon the death, or remarriage, of his widow all the testator's movable property was to be divided equally among his seven children, while the lands and tenements were to be divided equally among the four sons-- who, however, were conjointly to pay to each of their three sisters "the sum of oe100 current money of NewJersy, at 8s. an ounce."
